ISLAM PROFETA, LIVROS E RITOS

Abstract

This is a study about the Islam, which used a translated version of the Qur an for the Portuguese language by Samir El Hayek. A discussion has been carried out about the spelling used in the reference to Islam with the purpose to get closer to the original Arabic language. The reader will have the opportunity to learn not only aspects of the Islam in an attempt to understand what makes Al Qur an still relevant after fourteen centuries of existence, but also the secret which allows an easy adjustment of this religion in the most varied and eclectic communities. In order to achieve this purpose the process of foundation of the Islam will be introduced, as well as the context and biography of the prophet Muhammad as a charismatic man as proposed by Max Weber; as a politician, once he becomes the first ruler of the Arabian Peninsula; as a warrior when he leads the muslim army in the conflicts which emerged in the face of the new religion. This study also, discusses his acting in the building of Islam through the source of faith books for the muslims, Al Qur an and Sunna. These books are full of symbolic language and rites which are believed to be responsible for the easy expansion of this religion. We also present the division generated by different interpretations of the sources of Islam, which opposes followers of Sunna and followers of Ali. At this stage of this study it is possible to understand how muslim communities deal with problems which emerge in their societies. A process which respects the principles of Al Qur an and the teachings of Sunna in the search of Umma social balance.
