What is Islamism:<\/h2>\n

Islamism, different from the religion of Islam, refers to the act of wanting to impose dogmas and moral precepts of the Islamic religion to govern.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Differences between Islam, Islam and Muslim<\/h2>\n

Islamism are radical political movements or political philosophy, since, despite defending the Islamic religion, it violates one of the principles of Islam that prohibits any imposition on religion.<\/p>\n

Islam is the religion that Muslims preach. Believers of the Islamic religion or Islam are called Muslims. Islamism, on the other hand, is a radical movement of a specific and interpretive current of Islam, therefore not all Muslims are Islamists but they all follow the Islamic religion.<\/p>\n

The concept of Islamism began to be used and popularized after the United States blamed Islamist terrorist groups for the attacks on the \"World Trade Center\" on September 11, 2001.<\/p>\n

With respect to Jihad<\/em> or fight for Allah's sake<\/h2>\n

The most common way to justify Islamism is through the concept of Jihad<\/em> or Jihad<\/em> described in the Qur'an, a holy book with the revelations of its god Allah or Allah<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The Jihad<\/em> it is divided into major and minor. The Jihad m<\/em>ayor is described as fighting for the cause of Allah. This is an inner struggle and involves an inner spiritual effort to follow the path of Allah.<\/p>\n

The Jihad<\/em> The least is to preach Islam and defend it from its attacks. This is where the idea of \u200b\u200bhim was born. Jihad<\/em> as fight or war and is an interpretation of specific currents.<\/p>\n

Characteristics of Islam<\/h2>\n

Islam is a revealed monotheistic religion that informs and configures a cultural and civilizing system. Derived from the Arabic root slm<\/em> which means peace, purity, submission, salvation and obedience to God.<\/p>\n

Islam, Christianity and Judaism represent the 3 current monotheistic religions that believe in the existence of only one God.<\/p>\n

The 5 fundamental pillars in Islam are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The profession of faith: declaring faith in the unity of Allah and that Muhammad or Muhammad<\/em> he is his messenger.<\/li>\n
  2. As-salah<\/em>: are the 5 prayers of the day divided into Fayr<\/em> or the dawn, Ad-duhr<\/em> or noon, Asr<\/em> or in the afternoon, Mafrib<\/em> or dusk and Isha<\/em> or at night.<\/li>\n
  3. Fasting in the month of Ramadan<\/em> (the ninth month of the lunar calendar).<\/li>\n
  4. The zak\u00e1t<\/em> or azaque, <\/em>translated into Spanish as alms, it implies sharing resources with those in need.<\/li>\n
  5. The major pilgrimage: pilgrimage at least once in your life to the sacred Ka'ba<\/em> or Mecca.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Other characteristics of the mainstream of Islam are:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • The Quran is a divine guide to rule the lives of its so-called Muslim believers. Muslims regard the Qur'an as the word of Allah revealed to the Prophet Muhammad through the Archangel Gabriel (Jibrail<\/em>),<\/li>\n
    • The temples of Islam are called mosques,<\/li>\n
    • They are based on the lunar calendar calling it Islamic or Muslim calendar. This calendar begins in the year 622 when Muhammad \"emigrates\" together with the Muslims from Mecca to La Medina (Hegira<\/em>),<\/li>\n
    • Friday is the Muslim congregation day,<\/li>\n
    • The 3 types of traditional garments worn by women since Christianity and Judaism are: the Hijab<\/em> or Islamic veil, which is a scarf that covers the hair; the Niqab, what <\/em>it only leaves the eyes uncovered; and the Burka<\/em> or Afghan Burka,<\/em> that covers both the face and the body.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
