Module 7)
“In a Garden on high,
Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity,
Therein will be a bubbling spring,
Therein will be Thrones (of dignity) raised on high,
Goblets placed (ready),
And cushions spread in rows,
And rich carpets (all) spread out.”
– Qur’an 88:10-16 (English by Yusuf Ali)

Resources (Module 8)

There are 5 foundational requirements for Muslims. These requirements are meant to structure the Muslim way of life (or, in the larger context of the Humanities, HOW Muslims are supposed to live here on earth). Quran, the holy book of Islam, and which means recitation, admonishes the believers to follow these pillars of faith.
The Five Pillars are:
1. Shahada – Profession of faith.
[Quran 21:25] We did not send any messenger before you (O Muhammad) except with the inspiration, “There is no god except Me; you shall worship Me ALONE.”
[Quran 3:18] God bears witness that there is no god except He, and so do the angels and those who possess knowledge. Truthfully and equitably, He is the absolute god; there is no god but He, the Almighty, Most wise. 
2. Salat – Prayer
[Quran 35:29-30] Surely, those who recite the book of God, observe the Contact Prayers and are charitable both discreetly and openly can hope for an investment that never loses. He will recompense them generously and will multiply His blessings upon them. He is Forgiving, Appreciative.
[Quran 4:43] O you who believe, do not observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) while intoxicated, till you (so that you ) know what you are saying.
[Quran 29:45] You shall recite what is revealed to you of the Scripture, and observe the Contact Prayers (Salat), for the Salat prohibits evil and vice. But the remembrance of God is the most important objective. God is aware of all that you do.
3. Zakat – Charity or Almsgiving
[Quran 2:43] You shall observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) and give the obligatory charity (Zakat), and bow down with those who bow down.
[Quran 73:20] Your Lord knows that you meditate during two-thirds of the night, or half of it, or one-third of it, and so do some of those who believed with you. GOD has designed the night and the day, and He knows that you cannot always do this. He has pardoned you. Instead, you shall read what you can of the Quran. He knows that some of you may be ill, others may be traveling in pursuit of GOD’s provisions, and others may be striving in the cause of GOD. You shall read what you can of it, and observe the Contact Prayers (Salat), give the obligatory Charity (Zakat), and lend GOD a loan of righteousness. Whatever good you send ahead on behalf of your souls, you will find it at GOD far better and generously rewarded. And implore GOD for forgiveness. Allah is Forgiver, Most Merciful.
4. Sawm – Fasting
[Quran 02:183] O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, that you may learn self-restraint.
[Quran 02:185] Ramadan is the month in which was sent down the Quran.
5. Hajj – Pilgrimage to Mecca
[Quran 22:27] “And proclaim that the people shall observe Hajj pilgrimage. They will come to you walking or riding on various exhausted (means of transportation). They will come from the farthest locations.”
[Quran 2:197] Hajj shall be observed in the specified months. Whoever sets out to observe Hajj shall refrain from sexual intercourse, misconduct, and arguments throughout Hajj. Whatever good you do, God is fully aware thereof. As you prepare your provisions for the journey, the best provision is righteousness. You shall observe Me, O you who possess intelligence.

“O children of Adam, We have provided you with garments to cover your bodies, as well as for luxury. But the best garment is the garment of righteousness. These are some of God’s signs, that they may take heed.” [Qur’an 7:26]

“Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty: that will make for greater purity for them: and Allah is well acquainted with all that they do.” [Qur’an 24:30]
“O Prophet, tell your wives and daughters and the believing women to draw their outer garments around them (when they go out or are among men). That is better in order that they may be known (to be Muslims) and not annoyed…” (Qur’an 33:59)

“And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; and that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what must ordinarily appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands…” (Qur’an 24:30-31)

Hadith of Prophet Mohammad SAW.

“Ayesha (R) reported that Asmaa the daughter of Abu Bakr (R) came to the Messenger of Allah (S) while wearing thin clothing. He approached her and said: ‘O Asmaa! When a girl reaches the menstrual age, it is not proper that anything should remain exposed except this and this. He pointed to the face and hands.” (Abu Dawood)

Questions for Peer Review of Project and Master Paper

Specific – Does the project/paper have a specific topic? Is there a focus on the topic?

Clear – Does the project/paper demonstrate clear writing? Is it easy to read and understand?

Research – Does the project/paper demonstrate research beyond what is covered in the Modules? Are the research sources reliable?

Development – Is the project/paper developed in a logical manner to enhance the topic beyond the introductions provided through the Modules?

Interest – Is the project/paper visually and topically interesting? How does the project/paper keep the reader’s interest? Are there appropriate and topical images in the project/paper? Do the images supplement and augment the topic?

Master Paper Rational: Students have been introduced to Islamic Humanities through a vast amount of content in this course. As the course comes to a close, students must reflect on the many topics that they have studied in the 8 course Modules and select one focused topic to write the Master Paper. 
Assignment: Students will create a one-page paper on a topic that they feel they have “mastered” (learned excellently) because of this course. The paper must be research and fact-based, and contain at least one-color image (unless none exist on this topic).  Students may decide how creatively they wish to make this document (MS Office, Apple Pages, Adobe Illustrator, etc.). THE SUBMITTED PAPER MUST BE A PDF OR WORD FILE. The end result must look like a published page of a scholarly journal. The one-page document must be Wow! – Intelligent to the mind, and beautiful to the eyes. 
All work must be in English. If Arabic or another language is utilized in any form, then its translation and the source of translation must be clearly stated in the document itself. When a work of art or a literary phrase showcases calligraphic writing or cultural value in Arabic language or culture, for example, then translation – and relevance – of the written word(s) must be included in the paper.
The document must include a title and the author’s (student’s) full name, which must be appropriately incorporated in the one-page; include a minimum of 3 web and print sources.
NOTE: THE PROJECT AND THE MASTER PAPER TOPICS CANNOT BE THE SAME TOPIC. 

Grading criteria: One-page length, focus and specificity, depth, clarity, targeted and detailed research, factual accuracy, credible sources, organization, cohesiveness, correct and clear images, and the “wow” factor.
The Master Paper meets the following course objectives:

To demonstrate awareness of the scope and variety of works in the arts and humanities,
to articulate how these works express the values of the individual and society within an historical and social context,
to articulate an informed personal response and critically analyze works in the arts and humanities,
to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the influence of literature, philosophy, and the arts on cultural experiences, and
to demonstrate an awareness of the creative process and why humans create.
