Islam students at LUC

Last week we did not have class. I did get a chance to watch the movie “what a billion muslims really think”. This movie really opened my eyes to what Islam is all about. It was pretty shocking to read all the statistics the lady in the movie was talking about because they were so [...]

Last week in class was our final day of class. It was sad that it ended. We talked about a variety of diffrent things but the most intresting thing we talked about was Jinns. I always thought of a Jinn being something that was similar to a ghost. I never knew that a Jinn could [...]

Last week in class we talked about the diffrent levels of faith. This was very nice to hear about. I feel like being on the ihsan level is a tremendous accomplishment if anyone was able to achieve it. I beleive that everyone in some way or another does believe in god. If they say they [...]

We continued talking more about his ongoing battle with the Quresh.  With so many followers now siding with Muhammad the Quresh decided to make peace with Muhammad by making a treaty. We also talked about life after Muhammads death and with that occuring there was [...]
