Method Suitable For Theological Research

The topic under discussion is understanding Islam and the world Muslims. But what I wish to discuss first is what research methodology is suitable for theological discussion; or, in other words the approach is research in religious matters.

Preface

The well-known writer and analyst of historical developments, the late Martyr of Islam, Ayatullah S. M. H. Beheshti, better known as Shaheed Beheshti to his innumerable admirers, both in Iran and abroad, narrates in an interesting free style the historical conditions attending upon the birth of Islam. In his book of the same title, “Background of the Birth of Islam” he sets forth the sociological, political and religious conditions in the wide area surrounding Arabia.

Awakening

In most cases human bodies will develop and mature within the ground where they were buried, because most of their cellular remnants are in that area. Then will come a time when the ground splits all around and the dead begin to emerge swiftly,

Chapter 3: The Blowing Of The Trumpet

The Demise Of The World

All the messengers of God have informed us that one Day this present world (Dunya) will come to an end, and the entire world of creation will enter a new phase which is called the hereafter (Akhira). Dunya encompasses the realms of the living as well as the dead; therefore, the life of those living on the earth as well as those living in Barzakh will both come to an end on that Day and everything that has been granted life will die.
