Part II: Doctrines and Beliefs Quiz

Moody's Group:

• Statement: "All of the above terms symbolize the different levels of leadership in the Islam faith."
• Why did you focus on the leader aspect of these terms? Answer: They represent the religion because in terms of Islam the Qur'an is not translated so that can create a loose understanding so leaders influence practice of the religion. 
• Why is the Qur'an not translated? Answer: There are benefits on both sides (+/-). If it is translated it could be practiced by more people and the word of God would be spread. Other might argue that the meaning of the words will be altered if it is translated by man. 
• Why do different interpretations matter? Answer: Everyone of the same religion generally has a common belief. Different interpretations can lead to branches of that religion or a different religion altogether.
• Why does it matter that a new religion could be formed from an old one? Answer: It is ok because there will always be people who don't like certain aspects of a religion seek to create something that works for them. Conflict will also impact this because different religions will think that they are right but its how they handle these conflicts that shows maturity and devotion to that religion. 
• Conclusion: Leaders help to provide a universal front for a religion and are suppose to unify the purpose for everyone. Altering that purpose can cause conflict bu they way it is handled is what shows true devotion to a religion.
