7 Beautiful Aspects Of Islam That Are Worth A Praise


Islam, the word, actually means submission to the Almighty. A religion that associates itself with sincere devotion, rich culture, a poised and graceful restraint, and profundity, Islam is beautiful and deep. Let’s, for a moment, just allow the splendor of Islam sink in for a bit. The transcendence of Islamic music While many scholars believe that music is prohibited in Islam, certain schools of thoughts opine that it is the only kind of music that is composed with an intention to titillate the base feelings, or to ridicule or disrespect delicate beliefs of humans is prohibited. This means Islam does approve of music that ascends from the depths of belief and bares the soul to the Almighty. You can feel such hermetic elevation in the unbounded melodies of Sufi, the finesse of Makam improvisations that could be graphed as the trails of a serpent on the Arabian sand, and the heartfelt folk of the Kurds are a just a few to mention of the vast diversity Islamic music that feeds your soul with nothing but love and devotion.



Watch a Muslim man pray

One of the most beautiful things to watch is the reverence and elegance of the Namaaz. For a quiet prayer to the Supreme, the Muslims kneel down, bow and prostrate five times a day. The soft chants of the religious verses with every posture they utter sound as if every word has been chosen carefully to articulate the perfect parlance while talking to Divinity.

The poetics of the prayers, the posture of subjugation, the reticent isolation in which each man appear to travel through his prayers to a greater realm, and the way they come back and get on with their daily lives never fail to illustrate the beautiful mysticism of Islam and its believers.

The serenity of a mosque

Be it the Mecca in Saudi Arabia or the one right down the busy city street, the tranquil walls of the home of Allah never fail to fill your heart with obeisance. If you can’t find a mosque, listen to the sound of Azaan, travelling from the Minaret, a tower in the mosque, through the air and you will find your way to the house of the Supreme. This is the sound to which the believers head towards the mosque, to offer their prayers, kneeling down and facing the Qibla, the wall that is fixed in the direction of Mecca.

Influenced by different architectural styles of the Umayyad Dynasty, the Persians as well as the Ottomans, mosques are intricately designed with theosophic artwork but never representing a bodily form of the Supreme through them.
