What is the concept of taxes in Islam?
*******************************************
Taxes is an amount of money appointed by the government, paid by rich people, businessmen, customs, factories and vital agencies in return for the essential services done by the government, like power supply, water, infra structures, building roads, public hospitals, safety services like police, army, ambulances, rescue and other services they need and can't go in life without them. The government does all this for them.
Our duty towards people
**************************************************
Our first duty is: To inform all people by their own languages and everywhere on earth about our messenger and our religion through a wide informational campaign about this prophet, his manners, his decrees, his religion, his book and his perfections.
It's not the matter of the informational campaign itself, it's only a mean not an end, but in addition to it we are asked to be a copy of the morals of the prophet, this is the first announcement, the world really need from us. The world doesn't want speech, but good examples, if they see this; they will enter the religion of Allah in crowds, so this campaign needs to be carried out by men of high morals. Suppose we send to everyone in Europe and America five copies of Qur'an by their own languages, what will they do with them? Nothing. But if we send to every town a man following the manners of Qur'an, he will surely attract hearts and pull them to Allah The most Merciful. The nature of man tends to imitation, imitation leads to companionship, companionship leads to sociability, so man familiarize a virtuous man and is attracted to his characteristics and wants to sit with him to benefit from him, so he is the cause that attracts him to Allah.
What does Islamic Sufism mean?
=========================
Sufism is seeking pureness in the heart. A Sufi works hard until his heart is free from envy, rancor, malice, hatred, stinginess, egoism and other bad characteristics. He beautifies it with love, cordiality, passion, kindness and tenderness for all creatures of God, he also fills it with loyalty, truthfulness and fearing God, he beautifies his apparent body by good manners mentioned in Qur'an and followed by the prophet (May the blessings and peace of God be upon him) in his practical life.

Does Islam forbid photography?
========================
Islam forbids full figure pictures of man and animals if they are completely naked and their private parts appear, because this contradicts with human good manners and heavenly legislations. Photographing human is legal as long as a man covers his private parts from his navel to his knee and a woman covers all her body except her face and her hands.
As a woman has her specialty, so it is also illegal for her to be photographed with a marriageable person in privacy, as privacy is prohibited in our religion, the prophet said: "A man should never be in privacy with a marriageable woman as Satan is the third with them" (1).

Society needs renovation


*********************************
Renovation starts from the heart, so my beloved and the joy of my eyes (Prophet Mohammed) said:
"Renovate your belief, they asked: O messenger of Allah, how can we renovate our belief? He said: Say La Ilaha Illa Allah more and more." 1
I.e. always renew your heart for Allah and for people, don't leave it as it is. To improve your position in this life and in the hereafter, you should renew, you shouldn't stand still and think that you are ok, then you won't achieve anything. If you are in a position, you should try to be in a higher one, and so in this life, you should try to promote yourself. Man should renew both in life and in deeds that lead to Allah's satisfaction and not stand still.
E.g. If I perform prayers while I'm absent-minded, I should try to perform prayers while I'm wholly attentive. If I perform prayers while I'm attentive, I should try to perform prayers witnessing, and if I'm witnessing, I should try not to forget the Witnessed for a single moment.
So I must always be in progress, being satisfied by the low position in life or in the way to Allah makes man in retardation and delay, so standing still is a veil or a cover because others are going on, so you will fall behind the convoy that is going to Allah (Glory to Him).

What are the foods prohibited by Islam? And why?

Foods prohibited by Islam are peg, dead animals, blood and animals not slaughtered on the name of God.
As for peg, man is affected by what he eats, as the peg is not jealous on its female, so people who eat it also lose jealousy on their females either they are wives, daughters, sisters, mothers or others.
As for prohibiting blood, because it contains the germs and microbes in the body of man or animal, so if someone eats it, he can be infected by these diseases.
As for dead animal, because the blood does not get out of its body, but it permeates the flesh and organs, so viruses and microbes lie and hide in their tissues and make themselves a layer of fats so they don’t die when the meat is cooked even in high temperature. When man eats such meat, he gets sick because of those viruses and microbes.
As for the animals on which any other name has been invoked besides that of God, they become illegal because the name of God hasn't been mentioned when slaughtering them, so it is not blessed, when we eat it, it doesn’t cure us but increases illnesses.

Why doesn't Islam allow a husband to have sexual relation with his wife during menstruation?

Why doesn't Islam allow a husband to have sexual relation with his wife during menstruation?
==========================================
Islam does not allow a husband to have a sexual relation with his wife during her period for many reasons, such as:
1-At that time the uterus is loose and flabby, it does not afford excitement, so doing sex lead to more laceration and pains and might lead to sterility.
2-Man gets disgusted when he sees woman and her uterus at such case, so he might hate to do sex altogether.
3-At such case, a woman is psychologically not well; doing sex needs both spouses to be well and psychologically stabled so as not to cause any mental shakes or abnormal situation.
4-Some of the blood of menstruation might get into man's penis; this can lead to different diseases mentioned in medical and scientific books.
For all these and other reasons, Islam prohibits doing sex with wife during her menstruation.

Working for the hereafter




************************************************************
A Muslim should prepare himself a place to live in (after death), because there are not places for rent there. Once, some companions of the messenger of Allah (May the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) went to visit Abi-Zarr at his house, they found that he only had a simple mattress to sleep on, a cup for drinking and a bowl for eating, washing clothes and kneading, they asked him: "Where is the furniture of your house?" He said:
"We have another house; we will soon go there, so we sent our good furniture there."
A wise man said:
"A man has no house to live in after death but that he built before death. If he built it legally, it would be a pleasant one, but if he built it illegally, it would be a miserable one."
If it is the soul (desires) that controls the body, then man only looks under his feet and only seeks his hopes, his desires, what he eats today, what he drinks today and what he wears today, it doesn't matter if he gets this legally or illegally, if it is not completely legal, if there is hypocrisy or if he does the work only for people. This happens because desires here blinds him from seeing the bounties of Allah, the right way of Allah and the legislation of Allah (Glory to Him).
The messenger of Allah has given us glasses to look by them at this life, how could we look by these glasses O messenger of Allah? He said:
"Look at those who are under you and don't look at those who exceed you, thus you won't despise grants of Allah in your hands."1 
So you should:
• Look at those who exceed you in religion.
• Compete to be like them.
• Don't envy them but try to be like them.
Companions of the messenger of Allah (May the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) did this.

Al-Hakem and said it's sahih (correct).

How can I deal with religious fanatics?


Dealing with religious fanatics requires avoiding argumentation and discussions with them especially in controversial issues. We just deal with them according to the necessities of our lives.
We should not make friendship with them, live with them, sit with them or keep talking to them, we just do it as necessary, at the same time, we should be cautious about the ideas they believe in and circulate.

Competition of believers



****************************************************************
How can we compete O Allah? Allah says:
"And for this let (all) those compete who want to compete" 83-26
Does the verse mean to compete or strive in food, drinks, clothes, buildings? No, never, but the verse speaks about:
"Verily, the Record of Al-Abrar (the pious who fear Allah and avoid evil), is (preserved) in 'Illiy'yeen. And what will make you know what 'Illiy'yeen is? A Register inscribed. To which bear witness those nearest (to Allah)." 83-18,19,20,21
Where are those people so that we can follow them?
"Verily, Al-Abrar (the pious who fear Allah and avoid evil) will be in delight (Paradise). On thrones, looking" 83-22,23
Where are these thrones? In the balconies of paradise, where are they during the doomsday, questioning people, flying scriptures, the scales and the path? They don't care for all this, because they go straight from their graves to their palaces, as Allah says:
"Only those who are patient shall receive their rewards in full, without reckoning." 39-10
Every one of them sits in his balcony as Allah says:
"On thrones, looking (at all things). You will recognize in their faces the brightness of delight." 83-23,24
What are they doing while they are sitting? Allah says:
"They will be given to drink pure sealed nectar. The last thereof (that nectar) will be the smell of musk." 83-25,26

Why do some people think that there are no moderate Muslims?

Why do some people think that there are no moderate Muslims?
======================================
This happens because they are far away from Muslim countries; they also do not see Islam in its pure resources and do not read what Muslims write about their religion. They became like this because they only read what is written and listen to what is said by spiteful people among orientalists and western journalists who are fanatics against Islam and Muslims. Besides, the western curriculum in schools and universities is full of wrong information that defames Islam and Muslims

.

Does Islam push Muslims to violence?


Does Islam push Muslims to violence? Or is it just a human behavior as a reaction to violence against Islam and Muslims all over the world?

==========================================
Islam urges Muslims to tolerance, pardon, forgiveness, mercy, kindness, cordiality and good dealings with all other people.
What gets some so-called Muslims to be violent is that they feel they are offended, when they see what the westerners do to Islam and Muslims in their cruel wars that have no mercy even for women, children or old people, and the spite they write in their books and newspapers, or say in their seen or heard mass media.
When they see all this, they realize how those people greatly offend Islam, though they know that the reality is completely different, but they did all this by the spite, rancor, malice, hatred and dislike they have against Islam and Muslims.
This leads to a negative response, those young people react to this offense, this is assured by modern science, "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction". But if those Muslim young people found kindness, sympathy, mercy, or containment, their behavior and their conduct would change.

If the creator is one God, why are there many religions?




If the creator is one God, why are there many religions? 
And if the religion of God is one, why are there different prophets and legislations?


====================
Because every prophet was only sent to his people during his life, when he dies and his people or other people need a prophet, God sends them another prophet to call them to the religion of God. So sometimes, we see more than one prophet at the same time, because every prophet is only sent to his people. The religion of all prophets and apostles is the religion of Islam, God says:
3-19 "The religion before God is Islam (submission to His will)".
Different names of religions happened by those people not by God, e.g. the Jews called their religion this name, God says:
7-156 "For we have turned unto You,"
I.e. we got back to you, after their repentance when God pardoned them.
Christian people called themselves Nasara, they attributed it to Nasera, the place where Jesus was born, God says:
5-82 "Those who said: We are Christians".
Some of them called it Christianity (Maseeheya) attributing it to Jesus the Christ (Maseeh). God tells us in Qur'an that previous prophets like Abraham and his sons used to call to Islam, God says:
2-132 "And this was the legacy that Abraham left to his sons, and so did Jacob: Oh my sons! God has chosen the Faith for you; then die not except in the Faith of Islam".
Legislations used to come to the people of every age according to their needs to organize their lives.
