The topic of ISLAM (all answers must be in terms of Islam)
1) Monotheism is the belief that there is only one true God, which that particular religion worships. You may have heard or read the theory/idea that because all 3 monotheistic religions believe there is only 1 true God they, therefore "must" believe in the same God, hence the phrase "3 faiths/1God". What do you think about this theory/idea/phrase of all 3 monotheistic religions worshipping the same God? Do you agree or disagree? Why or why not?
2) In what sense is Islam especially Arabic? What does it mean for a universal religion like Islam to have a scripture that cannot be translated and still fully remain God's word for all peoples?
3) Explain the statement "Islam is a religion of the book."
4) How does almsgiving function to promote compassion and social justice?
5) Free will and predestination are problems that touch many religions. They even touch other areas of thought, especially philosophy and psychology, with debates between behaviorists and humanists. Explain your views on this topic and relate them to the Qur'an.
