ABSTRACT
Islam displays a ritual and a set of simple but elaborate cultural ceremonies. The political institutions of Islam were always simplistic, focusing upon how the Koran would be inculcated in politics and law. The ethical prophecy of Mohammed placed Islam in the same position as Judaism with Moses and Christianity with Paul. The Islamic warrior forgetting about himself in combat for the faith is given as an example of the logical consequence of the belief in predestination to the same extent as the Calvinist puritan. The Islamic form of predestination ignores the double Calvinist form according to which God decides to give some an eternal life, whereas others are given an eternal damnation. Islam, however, never did attribute to God the predestination for eternal damnation, even more so as God allows for the distractions of men and women.
