The Spoils ( A Look At The Islamic Faith) :: essays research papers

The Spoils of godIn Islamic faith, if one is a true believer they go out be dignified and forgiven, and a generous provision will be made for them by God.The Quran refers to the spoils as to belonging to God and the Apostle. The spoils being treasures of warfare and fights for justice. Muslims believe that God sends them on these missions and gives them the courage and strength to overcome their opponent. In the end they are told that it was not them who had slain the unbelievers but God. To help his people, God would wee-wee the caravans of unbelievers, who were to be attacked, seem smaller. This would heighten the Muslims courage that would have faltered at the sight of the large band. Gods presence is very valuable to the Muslim community. These reassuring stories help aid the Muslims in their correlation with religion and politics. In saying that God was supportive and responsible for these actions takes onward from their accountability and liability of the situations. The Quran also makes a point of saying that God would punish those who did not believe and those who did not follow. The Muslims feel the presence of God in their actions but are still aware of his power and superiority. He is their strength and pillar but can also be their damnation.God, or as the Muslims call him Allah, is everything the Muslims are not and in return they are everything he is not. This separation does not hinder Gods activity in compassionate affairs. God is the almighty. Nothing can compare to his greatness. He is the creature and a teacher. He is a confidant and a leader. He is everywhere. God takes on legion(predicate) human qualities, such as anger and love but according to the Quran he is everything we are not. God adapts his ways for us to easily witness him. We are meek and would never be able to realize or appreciate his greatness if he was shown to us in his true form. God owes nobody to us and we owe everything to him. That is a main point of the Quran, the Torah, and even the Bible.
