The Purpose of the Ascension
The Quran explaines the reason for taking Muhammad on this miraculous journey as “to show him our signs.”
Some of the other purposes of the journey are as follows:
Declaration of the universality of Islam
o By leading the prophets
o By praying in Masjid al-Aqsa
Warning the Kuffar of the imminent punishment
The twelve commandments:
o Not to commit shirk
o Kindness to parents
o Respect others rights
o Avoid spend thriftiness
o Do not kill your children
o Do not commit adultery
o Do not kill
o Be kind to orphans
o Fulfill your promise
o Be fair in your dealings
o Do not be suspicious of others
o Do not be arrogant
Prelude to Hijrah
The obligatory five prayers
Huh. It seems to me that killing is what they do and killing their children is what they do and respecting others' rights isn't what they do. I guess they had a book with missing pages, right?
Gradually degenerating into ignorance and complacency.
