Prophet Muhammad After the rule of Prophet Muhammad, Islam underwent a socio-political evolution that led to what it has become today. Caliphs were the first leaders who took over the prophet’s roles as a leader in the community. However, as time passed, people’s confidence in caliphates significantly declined and they relied on other Islamic principles for ethics. Islamic laws borrow fundamental aspects of morality from the Quran and the hadiths. These two provide guidelines upon which morality in modern Islam is practiced. This paper is a discussion of why the caliphates descended and why the hadith and Sharia rose to become the moral references of many Muslims in modern times. The prophet is believed to be the first true ruler of all Muslims because he was a direct messenger of Allah. Upon his death, Muhammad did not leave behind any instructions about the leadership of the Umma (Denny, 2010). Majority Muslims voted that a caliph be appointed to play the part which the prophet had been playing. The caliph Abu Bakr, was selected because he had the closest relationship with…

Reflection of Concepts Learned Dance can be described as the expression that moves rhythmically to music. It is also defined as the vehicle that has the power of uniting the mind, body, and soul. Dance is further explained as a nonverbal means of communication in a universal language that allows expression of abstract idea and emotion through emission of an energy that can be felt or recognized by the affected observer (O’Cadiz 2).

LIBERALISM IN SOUTH AFRICA South Africa liberalism exhibits the complexities and nuances of traditional, classical, and new liberalism but does so within the context of an ethnically and racially divided society (Hughes 1994,15). Liberalism in SA has therefore for a long time focused on racial peace providing equal opportunities and consultation for all. The question of race was foremost in giving content to where one stood on the political spectrum of SA. Even though they catered for the aspect of the race, the neoliberal policies in place benefit only the elite and particularly whites which shifted liberalism to promote the idea that even though blacks were historically inferior, they deserved equal opportunities when educated. Secondly, it’s purposed to convince people that individual freedom which includes freedom of thought, conscience, expression, and movement should be the apex political goal.

The decision has made the poor nations to be more poor and developed nations to continue developing (Centeno & Newman, 2010). The international exchange of goods and services…
