Religion

Nowadays more than 700 million people, when asked the question: "What religion do you observe," answer the Arabian word: Muslim -- a man that observes Islam.

The religious beliefs and religious origins of Islam go all the way back to the 7th century AD, the time when the religion was forming on the Arabian peninsula. Religion and experiencing of Islam for Muslim can be looked as on a special psychological condition of a man and observation of all laws and canons of Islam. The psychology of Islam develops from the very symbol of religion: "there is no god, except of Allah, and Mohammed is an ambassador of God."

Here the two main dogmas of Islamic psychology are observed:

There exists an eternal all-mighty and the only god- Allah;

Allah has chosen Mohammed, an Arabian from Mecca to be his prophet and ambassador, by the means of whom God interpreted the text of the holly book- Koran to people.

Psychological phenomena are directed on the realization and eternal glorification of Allah's superpower and grandeur in their speeches, prayers, everyday exclamations, as well glorification on the monuments and in literature.

The interpretation of the main dogma of Islam is in 112 sura (chapter) of Koran: "He Allah is the only and all-mighty. There was none born, and will be born, one who would be like Him."

Psychological beliefs and experience of Islam contains seven main dogmas:

Belief in Allah;

Belief in angels and demons;

Belief in the holly message of Koran;

Belief in prophets and message of Mohammed

Belief in heavens and hell

Belief in the holly p[predestination;

Belief in the immortality of soul

Besides the dogmas, psychological processes are based on the 5 fundamentals of belief (arkanad-din) that points the responsibilities and duties of Muslim:

Public confession of religion;

5-time -- a day ritual (namaz) or prayer

Observation of fasting

Payment of taxes

Pilgrimage to Mecca: visiting of Mecca, worshiping the tomb of Mohammed in Medina, visiting the holly places of Khidjaz

To understand the particularities of Islamic cult and beliefs it's important to refer to the achievements of Arabian philosophy and science:

The biggest contribution of Arabians to the history of science is connected with their achievements in medicine, astronomy and optics. Arabian physician and philosopher Ar-Razi (865-925) was the supporter of Aristotle's practical wisdom. He made a huge research in te sphere of medicine.

The founder of Kalam school-asharism, was a theologist Abu-el- Al Ashari, he considered the priority of mind and reason higher than religious traditions and rejected blind following of religious authorities.

Suphism - one of the most spread trends in Islam. One of the first well-known suphi was al-Hasan al-Basri (842-928). The philosophical basics of suphi teaching about the man are the concepts that a man is a being that reinterprets in the miniatures all the construction of the word and space. A man achieves Truth, when he makes his belonging to God and experiences unity with Him.

The founder of the moderate trend in suphism was Persian al-Juneid (died in 910), he considered suphism to the heart of the Islamic religious teaching, and suphies to be the followers and keepers of Mohammed's traditions.

Ibn Sina or Avicenna (980-1037) continued the work of ar-Razi. He wrote "canon of medical sciences" which synthesized the works of Greek and Arabian physicians. He also formulated the fundamentals of Islam from the perspective of Plato's methophysics and Aristotle's logic
