Islam & terrorism:

I liked the answer of the German Muslim scholar when he was asked about

terrorism and Islam: He said: Who started the First World War? Muslims? Who

started the Second World War? Muslims? Who killed about 20 millions of

Aborigines in Australia? Muslims?? Who dropped the nuclear bombs of Hiroshima

and Nagasaki? Muslims?? Who killed more than 100 millions of Indians in North

America? Muslims?? Who killed more than 50 millions of Indians in South

America? Muslims?? Who took about 180 millions of African people as slaves and

88% of them died and was thrown in Atlantic Ocean? Muslims?? No, they weren't

Muslims!!! First of all, you have to define terrorism properly... If a non-Muslim

does something bad...it is crime. But if a Muslim commits same...he is terrorist...

So first remove this double standard...then come to the point!

How to deal with Christians & Jews :

29.46 And argue not with the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), unless it be in (a

way) that is better (with good words and in good manner, inviting them to Islamic

Monotheism with His Verses), except with such of them as do wrong; and say (to them): "Webelieve in that which has been revealed to us and revealed to you; our Ilh (God) and your Ilh

(God) is One (i.e. Allah), and to Him we have submitted (as Muslims)."

3.64 Say (O Muhammad ): "O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians):Come to a word that is just between us and you, that we worship none but Allah (Alone), and

that we associate no partners with Him, and that none of us shall take others as lords besides

Allah[1]. Then, if they turn away, say: "Bear witness that we are Muslims."

Jesus & Muhammad Peace be upon them:

2.213 Mankind was [of] one religion [before their deviation]; then Allah sent the prophets as

bringers of good tidings and warners and sent down with them the Scripture in truth to judge

between the people concerning that in which they differed. And none differed over the

Scripture except those who were given it - after the clear proofs came to them - out of jealous

animosity among themselves. And Allah guided those who believed to the truth concerning

that over which they had differed, by His permission. And Allah guides whom He wills to a

straight path.

5.75 The Messiah, son of Mary, was not but a messenger; [other] messengers have passed on

before him. And his mother was a supporter of truth. They both used to eat food. Look how

We make clear to them the signs; then look how they are deluded.

3.144 Muhammad is not but a messenger. [Other] messengers have passed on before him. So

if he was to die or be killed, would you turn back on your heels [to unbelief]? And he who

turns back on his heels will never harm Allah at all; but Allah will reward the grateful.

What after?!

James Michener in Islam: The Misunderstood Religion, Readers Digest, May 1955, pp. 68-70.

"No other religion in history spread so rapidly as Islam. The West has widely believed that this

surge of religion was made possible by the sword. But no modern scholar accepts this idea,

and the Quran is explicit in the support of the freedom of conscience."

Like almost every major prophet before him, Muhammad fought shy of serving as the

transmitter of Gods word sensing his own inadequacy. But the Angel commanded Read. So

far as we know, Muhammad was unable to read or write, but he began to dictate those

inspired words which would soon revolutionize a large segment of the earth: "There is one

God"."

In all things Muhammad was profoundly practical. When his beloved son Ibrahim died, an

eclipse occurred and rumors ofGods personal condolence quickly arose. Whereupon

Muhammad is said to have announced, An eclipse is a phenomenon of nature. It is foolish to

attribute such things to the death or birth of a human being'."

At Muhammad's own death an attempt was made to deify him, but the man who was to

become his administrative successor killed the hysteria with one of the noblest speeches in

religious history: If there are any among you who worshiped Muhammad, he is dead. But if it

is God you Worshiped, He lives forever'.

If there are any among you who worshiped Muhammad, he is dead. But if it is God you

Worshiped, He lives forever

is Islam Evil!!

6.151 Say, "Come, I will recite what your Lord has prohibited to you. [He commands] that you

not associate anything with Him, and to parents, good treatment, and do not kill your children

out of poverty; We will provide for you and them. And do not approach immoralities - what is

apparent of them and what is concealed. And do not kill the soul which Allah has forbidden [to

be killed] except by [legal] right. This has He instructed you that you may use reason."

6.152 And do not approach the orphan's property except in a way that is best until he reaches

maturity. And give full measure and weight in justice. We do not charge any soul except [with

that within] its capacity. And when you testify, be just, even if [it concerns] a near relative.

And the covenant of Allah fulfill. This has He instructed you that you may remember.

6.153 And, [moreover], this is My path, which is straight, so follow it; and do not follow [other]

ways, for you will be separated from His way. This has He instructed you that you may become

righteous.

Apostasy!!

5.54 O you who believe! Whoever from among you turns back from his religion (Islam), Allahwill bring a people whom He will love and they will love Him; humble towards the believers,

stern towards the disbelievers, fighting in the Way of Allah, and never fear of the blame of the

blamers. That is the Grace of Allah which He bestows on whom He wills. And Allah is All-

Sufficient for His creatures needs, All-Knower.

Allah will bring a people whom He will love and they will love Him

Women & oppression!!

A full chapter N4 named Surat An-Nis' (The Women)

4.19 O you who have believed, it is not lawful for you to inherit women by compulsion. And

do not make difficulties for them in order to take [back] part of what you gave them unless

they commit a clear immorality. And live with them in kindness. For if you dislike them -

perhaps you dislike a thing and Allah makes therein much good.


4/6

State of peace:60:8 Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not

expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward

them. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly.

4 :86 And when you are greeted with a greeting, greet [in return] with one better than it or [atleast] return it [in a like manner]. Indeed, Allah is ever, over all things, an Accountant.

5 :8 O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm for Allah , witnesses in justice, and do

not let the hatred of a people prevent you from being just. Be just; that is nearer to

righteousness. And fear Allah ; indeed, Allah is Acquainted with what you do.

4:135 O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm in justice, witnesses for Allah ,

even if it be against yourselves or parents and relatives. Whether one is rich or poor, Allah is

more worthy of both. So follow not [personal] inclination, lest you not be just. And if you

distort [your testimony] or refuse [to give it], then indeed Allah is ever, with what you do,

Acquainted.

State of war:2:190 Fight in the way of Allah those who fight you but do not transgress. Indeed. Allah does

not like transgressors.

Fight in the way of Allah ?! Defend those who are weak, ill-treated and oppressed among

men, women, and children.

4:75 And what is [the matter] with you that you fight not in the cause of Allah and [for] the

oppressed among men, women, and children who say, "Our Lord, take us out of this city of

oppressive people and appoint for us from Yourself a protector and appoint for us from

Yourself a helper?"

4:76 Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah , and those who disbelieve fight in the cause

of Taghut. So fight against the allies of Satan. Indeed, the plot of Satan has ever been weak.

8:61 And if they incline to peace, then incline to it [also] and rely upon Allah . Indeed, it is He

who is the Hearing, the Knowing.


5/6

This worldly life:57:20 Know that the life of this world is but amusement and diversion and adornment and

boasting to one another and competition in increase of wealth and children - like the example

of a rain whose [resulting] plant growth pleases the tillers; then it dries and you see it turned

yellow; then it becomes [scattered] debris. And in the Hereafter is severe punishment and

forgiveness from Allah and approval. And what is the worldly life except the enjoyment ofdelusion.

Severe punishment ?! for the disbelievers, evil-doers

14:42 And never think that Allah is unaware of what the wrongdoers do. He only delays them

for a Day when eyes will stare [in horror].

So why this life ?! 51:56 And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.

51:57 I do not want from them any provision, nor do I want them to feed Me.

What is the concept of worship ?!

Islam does not teach or accept mere ritualism. It emphasizes intention and action.

To worship God is to know Him and love Him, to act upon His law in every aspect of life, to

enjoin goodness and forbid wrongdoing and oppression, to practice charity and justice and

to serve Him by serving mankind.

The Quran presents this concept in the following sublime manner (which means):

2:177 Righteousness is not that you turn your faces toward the east or the west, but [true]

righteousness is [in] one who believes in Allah , the Last Day, the angels, the Book, and the

prophets and gives wealth, in spite of love for it, to relatives, orphans, the needy, the

traveler, those who ask [for help], and for freeing slaves; [and who] establishes prayer and

gives zakah; [those who] fulfill their promise when they promise; and [those who] are

patient in poverty and hardship and during battle. Those are the ones who have been true,

and it is those who are the righteous.

Something unique in Islam ^^ ?!Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri: The Prophet said, 'Beware! Avoid

sitting on the roads." They (the people) said, "O Allah s Apostle! We can't help sitting (on the roads) as

these are (our places) here we have talks." The Prophet said, ' l f you refuse but to sit, then pay the road itsright ' They said, "What is the right of the road, O Allah's Apostle?" He said, 'Lowering your gaze, refraining

from harming others, returning greeting, and enjoining what is good, and forbidding what is evil." Sahih

Bukhari

My advice for you dear brothers & sisters:

---

WHEN YOU READ YOU DONT NEED TO BE AFRAID

---

MAKE YOUR BRAIN A REFINERY

Then do they not reflect upon the Qur'an? If it had been

from [any] other than Allah, they would have found within

it much contradiction. [Al Quran 4:82]
