Common Misconceptions About Islam

Islam is often misunderstood due to misinformation, cultural practices, or political conflicts.

This section aims to clarify common misconceptions in a factual and calm manner.

Islam and Violence

Islam does not promote violence. The taking of innocent life is strictly forbidden. Quran verses are often taken out of context.

Islam and Women

Islam recognizes women as moral and spiritual equals to men. Cultural practices should not be confused with religious teachings. Furthermore, men and women have their own individual talents and responsibilities.

Jihad

The word "jihad" means "struggle". It can be the spiritual struggle within oneself against sin or the protection of the Islamic community in various manners. Its primary meaning refers to personal moral effort, not warfare.
