Waiting for someone to call Dr Zakir a teacher of falsehood @ the OP,I have dealt with Muslims online They are very educated in the art of deception They will tell an ignorant non Muslim all the flowery things they want you to know and even when they lie in doing so,it is permitted in Islam to tell lies to deceive the gullible for the furtherance of Islam. So even lying depends on the situation There are many main stream teachings in Islam that are not quotations from the Koran but generally accepted because Mohammed did them and taught to do them They are recorded in the hadiths and form part of their sharia. It is a complicated set up and the answers are blowing in the wind. 3 Likes |

babyosisi: Evening again sir, I just went through the video and I believe the argument put forward by the 'Scholar' has already been addressed by Mr. Tunji. If you check the post of Mr. Tunji (I think it should be the 4th post in the thread), he brought out both arguments. Some scholars believe it's against the tenets of the Quran while some other scholars are of the opinion that it can be allowed if and only if it is part of a Military strategy and no innocent person is killed in the process. Sir, I have gone through both arguments and like I mentioned before, no open and unbiased mind, whether Muslim or non-muslim, can fault the argument of those who believe the Quran is against suicide. Those proponents of suicide in exceptional cases really were not readily convincing. Sure, they appeal to the emotions and they applied philosophy but when one takes a cursory look at their argument, we would realize that the argument deviates from what the Quran prescribes. As for the point you raised concerning some practices that are not explicit in the Quran but which are performed by Muslims, I really do not know much about that. Like I have maintained, I am not an Islamic scholar and neither do I pretend to know the Quran but what I do know is that I can discern a sound argument when I see one while considering the evidence at my disposal. So, it would be very inappropriate for a Muslim or any body for that matter to do something which is wrong just because some other person (who claims to be an authority) asked the person to do it. It's similar to a judge asking someone to commit murder. Murder is wrong irrespective of who asked an individual to do it. Same argument can be applied here. It is explicit in the Quran that suicide is wrong irrespective of the 'Islamic scholars' that prescribes it. Thank you! 1 Like |

I believe d poser isn't a christian,if not,he wouldn't asked the questions he asked.did u expect the muslims guys to tell u that the don't commit sucide for Allah's sake?go and study how islam is always able to capture a territory if its not through war.are u telling me that if the boko harams guys succeed in their missions,their cleric won't tell them that they have their rewards purely kept for them in heaven?shine ur eye.why is it that when prophet mohd is potray a s bad,his followers starts causing trouble?are u telling me that d don't know what d are doing?u can only decieve few people,not all. 3 Likes |

striktlymi: Now,did you hear any Muslims accuse the proponents of suicide bombings in those cases as being non Muslims or being teachers of a false doctrine or non believers? You won't hear that because both the people that are for and against it all call themselves brothers in their same religion . The clip I posted is a perfect example Did you come off with an answer that islam forbids suicide bombing? No you didn't because those two groups are still practicing Islam It depends on whose school of thought you follow and all those schools of thought are acceptable in interpreting Islam That is something non Muslims must never forget |
Re: Does The Quran Permit Suicide? by Nobody: 4:19pm On Jan 08, 2013 |
DANILSA: Good evening sir, With due respect sir, I don't think your argument is tenable. Those who practice suicide bombings do so because they believe they are fighting Jihad and they are of the view that they can attain martyrdom through this process. In the time of Muhammed there was Jihad, martyrdom is extolled and there was suicide. Despite these facts, the prophet never recommended suicide as a way of fighting Jihad nor attaining martyrdom. If you have a contrary view to do this, I am most glad to hear it but please try and back it up with at least one quote from the Quran. Thank you! |

striktlymi: Sharia teaches that an adulteress be stoned to death Find me a passage of the Koran that says so It is part of sharia but it is not in the Koran anywhere I am taking these pains to tell you that Islam has other sources that form their sharia besides the Koran I wish you could understand that bit But when they deceive you they tell you it is not in the Koran so it is wrong and the gullible swallow it They won't tell you there are other schools of thought that disagree and it is still Islamic But they know you are being deceived but you don't know 2 Likes |

babyosisi: Waiting for someone to call Dr Zakir a teacher of falsehood Well sir, I quite agree that in the midst of every gathering you would find those who are very good in the art of deception. This is not only peculiar to Muslims. Some Christians do the same. Anyways, I am not one to be deceived and that is why I ask you to provide evidence to back up your claims. Now since you are of the opinion that Muslims tend to do things Muhammed did in his life time even though they are not in the Quran, do you have proof that the prophet committed suicide in his time? Because if this is so, then I would understand why some misguided muslims commit this awful act. But sir, it is known that the prophet never committed suicide and he did not encourage same in the Quran. Thank you sir! 1 Like |

Itoroetti : Good evening sir, You might be correct but my religious affiliation is not what is under scrutiny here. If you have any contribution (whether for or against with evidence) I will be very glad to hear it. And for the avoidance of doubt, I am a Christian and not just any Christian but a Catholic Christian. Thank you! |

If suicide bombing is a sure way to heaven why is every Muslim not bombing himself. Why haven't the leaders of BOKO haram not bombed themselves |

If the quran does not permits why do they always recite this before going for the evil act (From God we come and to him we all return) |
Re: Does The Quran Permit Suicide? by tbaba1234: 4:39pm On Jan 08, 2013 |
babyosisi: 1. An average muslim can not term another person a non-muslim, we do not have that right. So even when muslims do wrong, we can call the act wrong but we do not termed them non-muslims. Your assertion is wrong because already on this thread, muslims have condemned suicide attacks. Quotes from this thread 1. People who kill themselves have committed a huge sin that could earn them the fire... suicide is forbidden. People try to go round the rules looking for justification to push their agenda, but it is clear from the Quran and the sayings of the Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him) Actually those guys are interested only in their own peculiar and narrowly-defined objectives |
Re: Does The Quran Permit Suicide? by Nobody: 4:40pm On Jan 08, 2013 |
Good evening all, I know some persons mean well but its about time we separate emotions from sound argument. If anyone should be emotional here, it should be me. My uncle was killed by a suicide bomber. We should really learn to keep sentiments aside and face the facts. For now the facts support the claims of those who believe that suicide is against the tenets of Islam. If you have a contrary view, is it too much to ask that you let us hear your arguments with proof or sound logic? Thank you! |

jidejoseph: If the quran does not permits why do they always recite this before going for the evil act (From God we come and to him we all return) It's difficult to stop evil men from saying whatever they want to say. I am assuming that you heard them say those words - because I have not. |
Re: Does The Quran Permit Suicide? by maclatunji: 4:41pm On Jan 08, 2013 |
babyosisi: And how did it become part of Islamic Jurisprudence? The Prophet (SAW) applied the rule after a woman came forward herself on three occasions to announce her guilt publicly . By the same logic, show us where the Prophet committed suicide or asked someone to. You rush to antiIslamic sources and absorb their dogma and then think you are learned. #Silly.

Re: Does The Quran Permit Suicide? by Nobody: 4:46pm On Jan 08, 2013 |
striktlymi: Good evening all, First of all asking me to show you suicide bombing in the Koran is laughable Where there bombs developed at the time of Mohammed ? The issue is not suicidev bombing but martyrdom It is a high honor in Islam to be killed for the course of Islam And to do maximum damage on non believers and achieve the state of martyrdom is like an icing on the cake That's the purpose That is the reason why some schools of thought accepted in Islam say so. |
Re: Does The Quran Permit Suicide? by tbaba1234: 4:47pm On Jan 08, 2013 |
babyosisi: Islamic law is based on the Quran and the teachings of the Prophet because the Quran says: The only saying of the faithful believers,when they are called to Allah (His Words, the Quran) and His Messenger (SAW), to judge between them, is that they say: WE HEAR AND WE OBEY.And such are the prosperous ones (who will live forever in Paradise ). (Surah Al-Nur, Ayat 51] We obey the teachings of the prophet because the Quran says so: Not the other way around. There are many instances where the prophet example guides a muslim's life. One quick example which is frequently used but is a great reminder.Allah (swt) commands us to pray but does not tell us how. So how do we know how to pray? From the Sunnah of the Prophet (saw). And how do we know the Sunnah? From the hadith. Allah (swt) commanded us to follow the Prophet (saw), and that can't be done without Hadith. The Quran in its perfection gave us an example to help us follow its values. The fact the punishment was prescribed by the prophet who we are commanded to obey by God is enough. The completeness of the Quran is in that it gives you a course of action to take, in every situation. |
