The justification of a “holy war” (jihad)
Suicide
Use of alcohol
Charity and help for the needy
Dietary restrictions
Justice and its administration

Treatment of Abraham, Moses, and Jesus
When discussing each of these points, you will need to cite the specific Sura from The Koran. Try to include as many examples for these points as possible in your paper. Finally, draw some conclusions as to the nature of The Koran.
If you also other sources in addition to the course materials in your paper, please be careful to use valid, scholarly resources. For example, on-line encyclopedias like WikiPedia are not acceptable sources for college-level work.
