I understand the sentiment of the OP. But I don't know if he can see that Judeo-Christian/Abrahamic religions due to their belief that they are the best religion and denomination (Catholics vs Protestant vs independent churches vs sunni vs shia vs hinduism vs Shinto vs other religions vs Atheism/Agnostism) will always lead to this kind of extremism. When you consider the spiritual belief of other people as wrong, devilish, heathens, infidels, etc, you're on the path toward Boko Haram and the Islamic State, Crusades and Jihads as well as conflicts between various denominations. |

HolyHolla: Yes, I am a proud to say that I am a Christian and not an atheist.Likewise, Boko Haram, Isil, are terrorist and Allah(God) has never mandated them to do so. Maybe you try to read the OP’s post once again, exactly why he create this topic was to let you and your likes to realized that Muslims are not in support of their atrocities but instead of you people to agree with him, you started against him and blackmailing Islam as your usual act HolyHolla: Yes, I am a proud to say that I am a Christian and not an atheist.Good for you and neither will a good muslim support violence or any act of terrorism HolyHolla:Can’t you figure out that the likes of pastorkun you mentioned have allowed their being animal of low level makes them translate the verse of the Qura’an to suit their hypocrisy and blackmailing act Qura’an has in no way support any act of terror and if you have read any and you think the meaning is what you claim, you can let both you and I engage our self in the explanation I bet it majority Christians (although some may no) has never being peaceful even till this 21st century HolyHolla:I think you should reframe “why are Islamist” although not denying that some of them Might be muslim(that do not understand their religion) but lot of things are fishy. For example 1- The armed money liked to CAN president if succeeded are meant for who? Christian Boko Haram, Muslim Boko Haram or Political Boko Haram? 2- CAN chairman who plot a terror act in osun, if succeeded, won’t you say Muslims again? 3- ISIL who did you think they are killing? Christian alon? Muslim not Involved? Muslim killing muslims? 4- ISIL Takfir trained in Jordan around 2012 to overthrow the government of Syria. Who do you think trained them(America and Isreal) My brother so many things are wrong HolyHolla:My brother base on the two rules I cited, where did you think they fit in with the claim of those terrorist you mentioned HolyHolla: We who are educated have the compulsory mandate to speak out now before the almajiris and their provocators take over and send us into early graves.You need to be in North to know who almajiris are |

Abdulsalam20: THE PROBLEM U CHRISTIAN HAVE IS THAT U DONT EVEN SIT DOWN ONE DAY AND THINK WHAT IS RELIGION?IS IT WHAT I PRACTISE BECAUSE MY PARENT ARE PRACTICING IT? Does it occur to you at all that the quran places greater honor on Jesus than on Mohammed? Why, if I may ask, is this so? You can read the blog in the following link to understand better. mongsexpressive..com.es/2014/08/christ-more-honored-in-koran-than.html?m=1 10 Verses from the Quran Prove ISIS Truly Follows Islam Muslims around the world, along with U.S. President Barack Obama, have denounced ISIS, saying that their actions do not define Islam and are wholly against the Quran. But versesstraightfrom the same book both moderate Muslims and ISIS insurgents reference show thatthe savages arenot misinterpreting the Apostle Muhammad after all. David Woods of AnsweringMuslims.com dedicates his time to studying the Quranand hadith (Muhammad’s quotes and biography). Now, he has compiled a list of10 scripturesto expose the hypocrisy of the moderate Muslim, proving that ISIS is the trueexample of devout Islamists: 10. Muslims must hate non-believers Quran 3:32 – “Obey Allah and the Messenger (Muhammad); but if they turn away, then indeed, Allah does not love the disbelievers.” 9. Muslims must discriminate against unbelievers Quran 48:29 – “Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; and those with him are forceful against the disbelievers, merciful amongst themselves.” 8. Muslims can rape women, so long as they take them as wives or slaves Quran 4:24 – “And [also prohibited to you are all] married women except those your right hand possess.” 7. Muslims must persecutethose who are against the establishmentof an Islamic State Quran 5:33 – “Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but thatthey be killed or crucified or thattheir hands and feet be cut offfrom opposite sides or thatthey be exiled from the land. That is forthem a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafteris a great punishment.” 6. Muslims must slaughter anyone who won’t convert to Islam Quran 9:5 – “And when the sacred months have passed, then kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they should repent, establish prayer, and give zakah, let them [go] on their way. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.” 5. Muslims can be merciful by forcing Jews and Christians to payfines and live in apartheid Quran 9:29 – “Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truthfrom those who were given the Scripture –[fight] until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled.” 4. Muslims may slaughter other Muslims Qruan 9:73 – “O Prophet, fight against the disbelievers and the hypocritesand be harsh upon them. And their refuge is Hell, and wretched is the destination.” 3. Muslims must not be peaceful or moderate, but war for Allah Quran 9:111 – “Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believerstheir lives and their properties [in exchange] for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah , so they kill and are killed.” 2. Muslims should not seek peace unless they have rid their community of unbelievers Quran 47:35 – “So do not weaken and call for peace while you are superior; and Allah is with you and will never deprive you of [the reward of] yourdeeds.” 1. Peaceful quranic verseswere before Allah’s commands of slaughter, and are therefore annulled Quran 2:106 – “We do not abrogate a verse or cause it to be forgotten except thatWe bring forth [one] better than itor similar to it. Do you not know that Allah is over all things competent?” Considering the extremenature of theseverses, it would seem redundant to claim that ISIS are extremistsof Islam, while they actually interpret the quranic commands as literally as possible, resurrecting the barbaricleadership of their prophet Muhammad. Still, Muslims who choose to follow the abrogated commands of Allah are out-dated, choosey, and, according to the Quran 9:73, hypocritical. While debating that ISIS fightersare truly representing Islam in its purest form doesn’t solve the crisis, it is the firststep to acknowledging that Islam is the problem and will always breed terror. 1 Like |

yazach, I very much appreciate your sensible contributions. I agree that the Ops caption of this thread is not in support of BH. But I didn't draw the first blood; it was the defenses put up by some fanatic Muslims on the thread that led to the long discourse. Instead of lending a hand to strengthen the caption, they started throwing stones without realizing that they are living in glass houses. It's a pity, I just have to engage them to disabuse the wrong notions being planted in the minds of those who may not be better informed. If you follow my posts you will discover that I'm not in defense of CAN leader on issue of the $10million money laundering saga, neither in support of CAN's explanation. I will not support illegality just because it is perpetrated by someone who bears the same title with me. But then, we are not yet sure of what really happened and we still need to wait for further outcome and see how the case goes to conclude if it was a case of money meant to buy arms for BH, or simply another type of serendipity of the usual clandestine thefts by government officials. Isis, Isil and IS are killing all who are not like them, I agree and I stated it earlier. The more reason we should all lend a voice in condemning them rather than engaging each other. When you say ISIS and other Takfiris are not Muslims, I tend to disagree and rather say they are extremist Muslims who believe in strict interpretation of quran because what they practice is also found in the quran. But Muslims who are enlightened and educated who try to moderate the quran to suit the exigencies of the 21st Century see them in bad light while they see us all, Muslims and Kafir as infidels. That's why they are killing Muslims too. If you try and google a magazine published by these Takfiris, 'Dabiq', and read their submissions, you will understand what I'm saying better. They claim that they are bent on executing the words of the Islamic writtings and ulama to the last letter. Yes, just as you said, 'Christians' too have used biblical verses to justify persecution, oppression, terror and bringandage until the 19th Century when they wisened up more into democratic ideals. I'm asking Muslims too to copy. I am not in support of American and Western military interventions. Apparently, they brought out the demons in the Takfiris whom they trained to fight against one another but who have now turned their weapons against them and the whole world as we have seen. America is not a Christian nation, but secular, mind you. They are just as evil in their machinations and selfish interests as anyone else. I sure know who the Almanjiris are. I lived a while in the North awhile and travelled around too. During my sojourn, I kept thinking, "If something definite is not done about these chaps, they will someday become willing tools in the hands of extremist Muslims". Now, I see majority of them within the ranks and file of BH for no reason other than search for daily bread, enticement or coercion into the group. But that is not surprising as they have earlier been veritable tools in the hands of Northern rioters for decades. "So many things are wrong" as you rightly stated. We all need to join hands to save our destiny rather than engaging mutual brutal attacks. With these said, I will soon bow out of this thread, expecting that we have presented enough facts and figures here for anyone to judge and decide. But I never run from any challenge and will still accept yours to discuss facts if you are keen. You can open your thread and mention my moniker to tag me. I'm game, always. [/quote] 2 Likes |

@ PASTOR KUN PLS DONT JUST COPY AND PASTE FROM ANYWHERE WITHOUT VERIFYING THEM PLS DOWNLOAD ENGLISH QURAN U WILL SEE THAT ALL WHAT U POSTED ARE FALACY EVEN U DONT EVEN UNDERSTAND YOUR BIBLE U CLAIM JESUS NEVER KILL PLS WHAT OF THIS? Check Jesus words to his decides in Luke 22:36 He said to them, “But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. Check your dictionary to know the meaning of purse, bag, and Sword. The Bible have already tell us the meaning of Sword in Ezekiel 21:9 “‘A sword, a sword, sharpened and polished— sharpened for the slaughter, 10 polished to flash like lightning! “‘The sword is appointed to be polished, 11 to be grasped with the hand; it is sharpened and polished, made ready for the hand of the slayer.. U CLAIM STONNING TO DEATH IS IN THE QURAN PLS WHAT OF THIS VERSES IN THE BIBLE The following Verses are from the NIV Bible: Exodus 20:14 "You shall not commit adultery." Deuteronomy 22:22 "If a man is found sleeping with another man's wife, both the man who slept with her and the woman must die. " Leviticus 20:10 "If a man commits adultery with another man's wife--with the wife of his neighbor--both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death. " Proverbs 6:32 "But a man who commits adultery lacks judgment; whoever does so destroys himself. " He destroys himself by being put to death as shown above. Leviticus 21:9 "And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the LovePeddler, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire. " Why should only a daughter of a priest gets burnt to death if she profanes herself? Why can't this law apply to all daughters? CUTTING OF HAND IN THE BIBLE Deuteronomy 25:11-12 "If two men are fighting and the wife of one of them comes to rescue her husband from his assailant, and she reaches out and seizes him by his private parts, you shall cut off her hand. Show her no pity. " This doesn't make any sense what so ever! Why should the woman get her hands cut off for defending her husband? It's not like she was cheating on him or anything like that! We clearly see that adultery causes death from the Verses above. Let us see what Jesus peace be upon him said about adultery: The following Verses are from the NIV Bible: Matthew 19:9 "I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery. " Wouldn't this cause the man to be put to death? Mark 10:11 "Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her. " Again, wouldn't he then be put to death since he would have committed adultery? Mark 10:12 "And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery. " Same question I ask about the women who are considered have committed adultery. Wouldn't they be put to death also? Luke 16:18 "Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery. " My question here is: Would an adulterer in the New Testament be put to death? Keep in mind that when Jesus gave the above laws, he gave them during the time when he spoke highly of the Old Testament's Law: Jesus orders Christians to follow the Old Testament's laws: "Do not think that I [Jesus] have come to abolish the Law (the Old Testament) or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke or a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law (the Old Testament) until everything is accomplished. (Matthew 5:17-18) " It is quite clear from these verses from the New Testament that Jesus peace be upon him did honor the Old Testament and did say that every single "letter" of it has to be honored, followed and fulfilled. "Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: 'The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat. So you must obey them and do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.' (Matthew 23:1-3) " We clearly see in these verses that Jesus peace be upon him did not prohibit for the Old Testament to be followed, but only warned his followers to not follow it the way the current religious leaders of the Law (the Jewish Rabies) were following it. So according to Jesus peace be upon him, the adulterer in the New Testament must be put to death |

Abdulsalam20: Thanks for the enlightenement, my friend. I'm not a scholar in quranic matters, but the little I read (I do have an Arabic quran; English translation by Abdullah Yusuf Ali, and I and read it to know better) and what I understand is what I quote. Perhaps there're some exegesis I miss out. I notice that there are instances where jihad is specfically tied to conditions as you stated, while in others, it was discussed independently of conditions. How do you view these two? 1 Like |

@Abdulsalam20 to Holyholla 1. Terrorism is above all murder. Murder is strictly forbidden SINCE I HAVE BEEN ARGUING WITH YOU I NEVER MISQUOTE ANY PASSAGE I QUOTE IT ACCORDING TO HOW IT IS QUOTED Actually you misquoted the verse highlighted in the first quote....You quoted the oft "underquoted" verse by muslim apologists. I say underquoted because they never seem to quote the complete verse. They always manage to leave out the "Children of Israel" and the context by not quoting the verse after it Surah 5:32 Sahih International Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land - it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one - it is as if he had saved mankind entirely. And our messengers had certainly come to them with clear proofs. Then indeed many of them, [even] after that, throughout the land, were transgressors. Surah 5:33 Sahih International Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment, Surah 5:53 Sahih International And those who believe will say, "Are these the ones who swore by Allah their strongest oaths that indeed they were with you?" Their deeds have become worthless, and they have become losers. |

HolyHolla:"Do not think that I [Jesus] have come to abolish the Law (the Old Testament) or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke or a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law (the Old Testament) until everything is accomplished.

So according to Jesus peace be upon him, the adulterer in the New Testament must be put to death NOW ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION Many Christians use these verses to justify fornication and pornography. And the use of John 8:1-11 does indeed raise a great concern to Morals and Ethics. For one thing, it is the biggest mistake for the citizens of the Christian Whoredom to use John 8:1-11 as an excuse for the sexual sins they commit against GOD Almighty. When Jesus peace be upon him refused to stone the woman, HE ACTUALLY REFUSED TO BE A HYPOCRITE! Have he ordered the stoning of the woman, he would have been indeed a hypocrite, because people in charge of authority back then were not following anything in the Law properly. He even called them "hypocrites" in several occasions; see Matthew 6:2, 5, 16, Matthew 15:7, Matthew 22:18, Matthew 23:13, 15, 23, 25, 27, 29, Matthew 24:51, Mark 7:6 and Luke 13:15 in the Bible. So why punish the weakest citizen and leave the cause of the corruption?! That was the Message that Jesus peace be upon him gave to the people back then. Notice that John 8:6 clearly says "They were using this question as a trap" , which clearly means that the situation of John 8:1-11 was no more than a trap to make Jesus peace be upon him make a mistake. That's why HE DIDN'T ALLOW THEM TO OUT SMART HIM AND FORCE HIM TO GIVE ANY JUDGMENT AGAINST THE WOMAN. Jesus peace be upon him didn't in anyway nullify the Laws of GOD Almighty regarding punishment for adultery. As I mentioned above, keep in mind that when Jesus gave the above mentioned laws regarding what he considered adultery, he gave them during the time when he spoke highly of the Old Testament's Law: Jesus orders Christians to follow the Old Testament's laws: "Do not think that I [Jesus] have come to abolish the Law (the Old Testament) or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.

@Abdulsalam20 2. If the motive for terrorism is religious, it is impermissible in I'm sure we'll argue till eternity that Surah 9 abrogates this chapter since this was the second to the last verse revealed. I will not even quote the hadiths (numerous) justifying compulsion. I leave you with the same Islamic Law.....If you read through, you will notice that it uses Surah 9:29 and not 2:256.... THE OBJECTIVES OF JIHAD Perhaps, you should have a discussion with a PhD holder in Islamic Studies to set you straight!!! 2 Likes |

Abdulsalam20: "Do not think that I [Jesus] have come to abolish the Smart answer, I must say. You are very wrong in saying Christians justify sin with biblical verses. No true Christian will do that, but only charlattans. If you find a Christian justifying adultery, fornication, gayism, lesbianism and all such crap, look deeper as that person is not committed to Christ as Lord and Savior. That established, let me enlighten you on why Jesus did not condemn the woman caught in adultery to death and perhaps this will also help Muslims to understand why they cannot and must not follow the letters of the quran to the letter in the 21st Century. Jesus did not come to execute judgment at that first advent. Yes, He declared that He did not come to bring peace to the world, but a sword of judgment. Because Jesus does not call the shots in the world, but Satan to whom Adam conceded his rights in the Garden of Eden, there can be no peace in the world yet. Yes, He has the power to, but He will force noone to believe in Him or follow Him. For those who believe, He gives His inner peace and rescues from the spiritual hold of Satan and promises them eternal life, but for those who refuse, He declares the sword of judgment when the time comes. So when He declares that He has not come to bring peace but judgment, this is what He means. When He comes back, He will appear, not as a sacrificial Lamb, but as a Lion that roars in judgment. Jesus did not condemn the woman taken in adultery because, 1. He knew that the people only wanted to implicate him and they were insincere; 2. They brought only the woman for judgment and spared the man, though both were caught guilty red handed and that is injustice; 3. Jesus did not come to judge the world at that time, but to offer the grace of salvation; 4. Jesus came to give the chance of repentance and redemption to every sinner who accepts Him; 5. None of the accusers had a right to judge because they were guilty of other sins too; 6. The case had not been properly presented before the judges and the sentence could not be passed without adequate prosecution; 7. What the Jews wanted to do was against the law of the land. Roman laws permitted the Jews to judge concerning matters that did not involve death penalty only and that was why they could not crucify Jesus without getting Him convicted by Pilate. If Jesus asked that the OT law should be executed on the woman, He would be disobeying the law of Rome. He says to give to Ceaser what belongs to him, didn't He? Taking a cue from all these, and points 5 and 7 particularly, that is why I say that even if the quran commands certain judgments on kafirs, the Moslem must be careful not to execute such in this present age and time because it has become illegal, being against the law of equity (as no one comes with clean hands) and the laws of the land. So also, even if Christians believe in the laws of the Old Testament, they cannot execute them in this present age and time for the same reasons. When Jesus declared that every single word of OT laws would be fulfilled, He didn't mean that they would be fulfilled by man, but by God at the White Throne Judgment. In conclusion, those Bible passages you quote would rather be treated as executable by God alone as true judgment belongs to God. Now, I say, go and preach these to the Takfiris... |

proo212: @Abdulsalam20SORRY TO ASK ARE YOU A MUSLIM OR CHRISTIAN SIR IF YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN AND YOU HAVE A PHD IN ISLAMIC STUDIES THAT DOESNT MEAN YOU UNDERSTAND ISLAM MORE THAN I DO CONCERNING SURAH9:29 SOME PEOPLE HAVE FALSELY CONCLUDED FROM VERSE 9:29, THAT MUSLIMS ARE COMMANDED TO ATTACK ALL NON-MUSLIMS UNTIL THEY PAY MONEY. IN FACT, SUCH AN INTERPRETATION IS COMPLETELY FALSE AND CONTRADICTS AUTHENTIC ISLAMIC TEACHINGS. COMMENTING ON THIS VERSE, SHAYKH JALAL ABUALRUB WRITES: THESE AYAT (QURANIC VERSES) STRESS THE NECESSITY OF FIGHTING AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF THE SCRIPTURE, BUT UNDER WHAT CONDITIONS? WE PREVIOUSLY ESTABLISHED THE FACT THAT THE ISLAMIC STATE IS NOT PERMITTED TO ATTACK NON-MUSLIMS WHO ARE NOT HOSTILE TO ISLAM, WHO DO NOT OPPRESS MUSLIMS, OR TRY TO CONVERT MUSLIMS BY FORCE FROM THEIR RELIGION, OR EXPEL THEM FROM THEIR LANDS, OR WAGE WAR AGAINST THEM, OR PREPARE FOR ATTACKS AGAINST THEM. IF ANY OF THESE OFFENSES OCCURS, HOWEVER, MUSLIMS ARE PERMITTED TO DEFEND THEMSELVES AND PROTECT THEIR RELIGION. MUSLIMS ARE NOT PERMITTED TO ATTACK NON-MUSLIMS WHO SIGNED PEACE PACTS WITH THEM, OR NON-MUSLIMS WHO LIVE UNDER THE PROTECTION OF THE ISLAMIC STATE. ( ABUALRUB, HOLY WARS, CRUSADES, JIHAD) LIKEWISE, THE FOLLOWING FATWA POINTS OUT THAT MUSLIMS CANNOT ATTACK A PEACEFUL NON-MUSLIM COUNTRY: QUESTION : IS IT AN OBLIGATION OF AN ISLAMIC STATE TO ATTACK THE NEIGHBORING NON- MUSLIM STATES AND COLLECT ‘JIZYA’ FROM THEM? DO WE SEE THIS IN THE EXAMPLE OF THE RIGHTLY GUIDED CALIPHS WHO FOUGHT AGAINST THE ROMAN AND PERSIAN EMPIRES WITHOUT ANY AGGRESSION INITIATING FROM THEM? ANSWERED BY SHEIKH HÂNÎ AL-JUBAYR, JUDGE AT THE JEDDAH SUPREME COURT IF THE NON-MUSLIM COUNTRY DID NOT ATTACK THE MUSLIM ONE NOR MOBILIZE ITSELF TO PREVENT THE PRACTICE AND SPREAD OF ISLAM, NOR TRANSGRESS AGAINST MOSQUES, NOR WORK TO OPPRESS THE MUSLIM PEOPLE IN THEIR RIGHT TO PROFESS THEIR FAITH AND DECRY UNBELIEF, THEN IT IS NOT FOR THE MUSLIM COUNTRY TO ATTACK THAT COUNTRY. JIHÂD OF A MILITARY NATURE WAS ONLY PERMITTED TO HELP MUSLIMS DEFEND THEIR RELIGION AND REMOVE OPPRESSION FROM THE PEOPLE. THE PERSIANS AND ROMANS DID IN FACT AGGRESS AGAINST ISLAM AND ATTACK THE MUSLIMS FIRST. THE CHOSROE OF PERSIA HAD GONE SO FAR AS TO ORDER HIS COMMANDER IN YEMEN SPECIFICALLY TO KILL THE PROPHET (PEACE BE UPON HIM). THE ROMANS MOBILIZED THEIR FORCES TO FIGHT THE PROPHET (PEACE BE UPON HIM), AND THE MUSLIMS CONFRONTED THEM IN THE BATTLES OF MU’TAH AND TABÛK DURING THE PROPHET'S LIFETIME |
Re: I Am A Muslim ,i Despise Bokoharam by Abdulsalam20(m): 6:47pm On Sep 24, 2014 |
THE ABOVE FATWA REFERS TO THE HISTORICAL CONTEXT IN WHICH THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD (PEACE BE UPON HIM) FOUGHT AGAINST OTHER NATIONS. THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD DID NOT INITIATE AGRESSION AGAINST ANYONE, RATHER HE AND HIS FOLLOWERS WERE UNDER ATTACK FROM ALL WHO SOUGHT TO CRUSH THE NEW ISLAMIC STATE. THE FIRST HOSTILITIES BETWEEN THE MUSLIMS AND THE ROMAN EMPIRE BEGAN WHEN THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD'S MESSENGER TO THE GHASSAN TRIBE (A GOVERNATE OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE), AL-HARITH BIN UMAYR AL-AZDI, WAS TIED UP AND BEHEADED (AL-MUBARAKPURI, AR-RAHEEQ AL-MAKHTUM , P. 383). THE KILLING OF A DIPLOMAT WAS AN OPEN ACT OF WAR, AND THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD SENT AN ARMED FORCE TO CONFRONT THE TRIBE, BUT THE ROMAN EMPIRE BROUGHT IN REINFORCEMENTS AND THE RESULTING CONFLICT, KNOWN AS THE BATTLE OF MUT'AH, WAS A DEFEAT FOR THE MUSLIMS. ONLY AFTER THIS DID SUBSEQUENT BATTLES BETWEEN THE MUSLIMS AND THE ROMAN EMPIRE OCCUR, AND THE MUSLIMS EMERGED VICTORIOUS. LIKEWISE, AS MENTIONED IN THE ABOVE FATWA, HOSTILTIIES BETWEEN THE MUSLIMS AND THE PERSIANS ONLY BEGAN AFTER THE PERSIAN EMPEROR CHOSROE ORDERED HIS GOVERNOR IN YEMEN BADHAM, TO KILL THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD PBUH, ALTHOUGH HIS EFFORTS WERE THWARTED WHEN THE LATTER ACCEPTED ISLAM. OTHER NON-MUSLIM GROUPS, SUCH AS THOSE IN MADINAH, ALSO INITIATED HOSTILITIES AGAINST THE MUSLIMS DESPITE PEACE TREATIES AS SHAYKH SAYYID SABIQ WRITES: AS FOR FIGHTING THE JEWS (PEOPLE OF THE SCRIPTURE), THEY HAD CONDUCTED A PEACE PACT WITH THE MESSENGER AFTER HE MIGRATED TO MADINAH. SOON AFTERWARDS, THEY BETRAYED THE PEACE PACT AND JOINED FORCES WITH THE PAGANS AND THE HYPOCRITES AGAINST MUSLIMS. THEY ALSO FOUGHT AGAINST MUSLIMS DURING THE BATTLE OF A`HZAB , THEN ALLAH REVEALED… [AND HE CITES VERSE 9:29] (SAYYID SABIQ, FIQHU AS-SUNNAH , VOL. 3, P. 80) IN LIGHT OF THE HISTORICAL CONTEXT OF THIS VERSE, IT BECOMES VERY CLEAR THAT THE VERSE WAS REVEALED IN CONNECTION WITH AGRESSION INITIATED AGAINST MUSLIMS. AS DR. JAMAL BADAWI VERY ACCURATELY CONCLUDES WITH REGARD TO VERSE 9:29 AND SIMILAR VERSES: ALL OF THESE VERSES, WITHOUT EXCEPTION, IF STUDIED CAREFULLY, ADDRESS AGGRESSION AND OPPRESSION COMMITTED AGAINST MUSLIMS AT THE TIME OF THE PROPHET (PEACE AND BLESSINGS BE UPON HIM), WHETHER BY IDOLATROUS ARABS, SOME OF THE JEWISH TRIBES IN MADINAH, OR BY SOME CHRISTIANS. ( SOURCE) THEREFORE, THE COMMAND TO FIGHT IN VERSE 9:29 RELATES TO THOSE NON-MUSLIMS WHO COMMIT AGRESSION AND NOT THOSE WHO ARE COMMITTED TO LIVE IN PEACE. THE VERSE IS SUBJECT TO CERTAIN CONDITIONS THAT WERE APPARENT WHEN IT WAS IMPLEMENTED IN THE TIME OF THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD PBUH, AS SHAYKH SAYYID SABIQ WRITES: WHAT WE HAVE STATED MAKES IT CLEAR THAT ISLAM DID NOT ALLOW THE INITIATING OF HOSTILITIES, EXCEPT TO: 1. REPEL AGGRESSION; 2. PROTECT ISLAMIC PROPAGATION; 3. DETER FITNAH AND OPPRESSION AND ENSURE FREEDOM OF RELIGION. IN SUCH CASES, FIGHTING BECOMES A NECESSITY OF THE RELIGION AND ONE OF ITS SACRED ORDAINMENTS. IT IS THEN CALLED, ‘JIHAD’. (SAYYID SABIQ, FIQHU AS-SUNNAH , VOL. 3, P. 81) THE VERSE THEN PROCEEDS TO MENTION SOME ISSUES RELATING TO THE ISLAMIC STATE, AND GOVERNING NON-MUSLIM CITIZENS OF THE ISLAMIC STATE. DR. MAHER HATHOUT COMMENTS ON THE REGULATIONS IN VERSE 9:29: FREEDOM OF RELIGION IS AN ESSENTIAL ASPECT IN AN ISLAMIC STATE. ONE OF THE FIVE PILLARS OF ISLAM IS ZAKAT (ALMSGIVING). THE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK (CHRISTIANS AND JEWS) ARE NOT OBLIGED TO PAY THE ISLAMIC ZAKAT THAT IS SPENT BY THE STATE FOR SOCIAL NECESSITIES AND STATE AFFAIRS AS DEFINED IN THE QURAN (SEE 9:60). BUT THEY MUST PAY OTHER TAXES TO SHARE IN THE STATE BUDGET. IF THEY REFUSE TO PAY THIS TAX TO THE STATE AND REBEL AGAINST THE STATE, THEN IT IS THE OBLIGATION OF THE STATE TO CONFRONT THEM UNTIL THEY PAY IT. THIS IS WHAT CALIPH ABU BAKR DID AFTER THE DEATH OF THE PROPHET, WHEN SOME PEOPLE REFUSED TO PAY ZAKAT . (HATHOUT, JIHAD VS. TERRORISM; US MULTIMEDIA VERA INTERNATIONAL, 2002, P.53) THE VERSE MENTIONS JIZYA, WHICH IS UNFORTUNATELY MISUNDERSTOOD BY SOME PEOPLE. LIKE ANY NATION, THE ISLAMIC GOVERNMENT REQUIRES ITS CITIZENS TO PAY TAXES IN RETURN FOR ITS SERVICES. SINCE MUSLIMS PAY THE ZAKAT, THE NON-MUSLIM CITIZENS ARE REQUIRED TO PAY JIZYA (FOR MORE INFORMATION ON JIZYA, PLEASE REFER TO JIZYA IN ISLAM AND JIZYAH AND NON- MUSLIM MINORITIES ). DR. MONQIZ AS-SAQQAR WRITES CONCERNING THE JIZYA TAX: THE SUM OF JIZYA WAS NEVER LARGE TO THE EXTENT THAT THE MEN WERE UNABLE TO PAY. RATHER, IT WAS ALWAYS AVAILABLE AND REASONABLE. DURING THE REIGN OF THE PROPHET, PEACE AND BLESSINGS BE UPON HIM, JIZYA NEVER EXCEEDED ONE DINAR ANNUALLY AND IT NEVER EXCEEDED FOUR DINARS UNDER THE UMAYYAD RULE. ( SOURCE) SHAYKH ABU'L-HASAN AL-MAWARDI (D. 1058CE) EXPLICITLY POINTS OUT THAT THE JIZYA SHOULD BE EXACTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MEANS OF THE PEOPLE, AND THE IMAM SHOULD JUDGE THE CONCLUDE THE AMOUNT TO THE SATISFACTION OF THE LEADERS OF THOSE BEING TAXED: THE FUQAHA (JURISTS) DIFFER AS TO THE AMOUNT OF THE JIZYA. ABU HANIFA CONSIDERS THAT THOSE SUBJECT TO THIS TAX ARE OF THREE KINDS: THE RICH FROM WHOM FORTY-EIGHT DIRHAMS ARE TAKEN; THOSE OF AVERAGE MEANS FROM WHOM TWENTY FOUR ARE TAKEN, AND THE POOR FROM WHOM TWELVE DIRHAMS ARE TAKEN: HE THUS STIPULATED THE MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM AMOUNTS AND PROHIBITS ANY FURTHER JUDGEMENT ON BEHALF OF THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR ITS COLLECTION. MALIK, HOWEVER, DOES NOT FIX ITS MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM AMOUNT AND CONSIDERS THAT THOSE RESPONSIBLE SHOULD MAKE THEIR OWN JUDGEMENT AS TO THE MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM. ASH-SHAFI'I CONSIDERS THAT THE MINIMUM IS A DINAR, AND THAT IT IS NOT PERMITTED TO GO BELOW THIS WHILE HE DOES NOT STIPULATE THE MAXIMUM, THE LATTER BEING DEPENDANT ON THE IJTIHAD (JUDGEMENT) OF THOSE RESPONSIBLE: THE IMAM, HOWEVER, SHOULD TRY TO HARMONISE BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT AMOUNTS, OR TO EXACT AN AMOUNT IN ACCORDANCE WITH PEOPLE'S MEANS. IF HE HAS USED HIS JUDGEMENT TO CONCLUDE THE CONTRACT OD JIZYAH TO THE SATISFACTION OF THE LEADERS OF THE PEOPLE BEING TAXED, THEN IT BECOMES BINDING ON ALL OF THEM AND THEIR DESCENDANTS, GENERATION AFTER GENERATION, AND A LEADER MAY NOT AFTERWARDS CHANGE THIS AMUNT, BE IT TO DECREASE IT OR INCREASE IT. (AL-MAWARDI, AL-AHKAM AS-SULTANIYYAH , TA-HA PUBLISHERS LTD. 1996, PP. 209-210) HENCE, THE LAWS OF ISLAM FORBID MUSLIMS FROM OPRESSING NON-MUSLIMS AND COMMAND THEM TO TREAT OTHERS WITH JUSTICE AND COMPASSION. IN FACT, THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD PBUH HIMSELF FORBADE MUSLIMS FROM HARMING NON-MUSLIM CITIZENS OF AN ISLAMIC STATE OR ANY NON-MUSLIM WITH WHOM THERE WAS AN AGREEMENT OF PEACE, AS HE SAID, " THE ONE WHO WRONGS A COVENANTER OR IMPAIRS HIS RIGHT OR OVERWORKS HIM OR FORCIBLY TAKES SOMETHING FROM HIM, I WILL BE HIS PROSECUTOR ON THE DAY OF JUDGMENT. (SUNAN ABI DAWUD 170/3 NO. 3052, SUNAN AN-NASA'I 25/8 NO. 2749, AND VERIFIED BY AL-ALBANI NO. 2626). IN CONCLUSION, VERSE 9:29 COMMANDS MUSLIMS TO FIGHT AGAINST ONLY THOSE WHO INITIATE AGRESSION AS ILLUSTATED BY ITS HISTORICAL CONTEXT. MUSLIMS MAY ONLY FIGHT UNDER STRICT CONDITIONS, AND ARE COMMANDED TO LIVE PEACEFULLY WITH PEACEFUL NON-MUSLIM NEIGHBORS. SIMILAR NARRATION BUKHARI: GOD'S APOSTLE SAID, I HAVE BEEN ORDERED TO FIGHT WITH THE PEOPLE TILL THEY SAY, NONE HAS THE RIGHT TO BE WORSHIPPED BUT GOD. (VOLUME 4, BOOK 52, NUMBER 196) WITH REGARDS TO THE NARRATION, ONLY PART OF IT HAS BEEN QUOTED, AND THE FULL TEXT READS: AND THE PROPHET (PEACE BE UPON HIM) SAID, "I HAVE BEEN ORDERED TO FIGHT THE PEOPLE UNTIL THEY TESTIFY THAT THERE IS NO DEITY WORTHY OF WORSHIP OTHER THAN ALLAH AND THAT MUHAMMAD IS THE MESSENGER OF ALLAH, ESTABLISH THE PRAYER, AND PAY ZAKAT, AND IF THEY DO THIS, THEN THEIR BLOOD AND MONEY SHALL BE PROTECTED FROM ME, EXCEPT BY AN ISLAMIC RIGHT, AND THEIR ACCOUNT WILL BE WITH ALLAH. THIS NARRATION LISTS SOME OF THE PILLARS OF ISLAM THAT MUSLIMS MUST ADHERE TO. THE FIGHTING BEING ORDAINED HERE REFERS TO THE ENFORCEMENT OF LAWS AND REGULATIONS WITHIN AN ISLAMIC STATE. JUST AS MODERN GOVERNMENTS ENFORCE THEIR LEGAL POLICIES, SO TO DOES THE ISLAMIC STATE. THESE LEGAL POLICIES REFER TO MUSLIMS PAYING THEIR ZAKAT (CHARITY TAX) AND ABIDING BY THE LAWS IN AN ISLAMIC STATE. THOSE WHO UNDERSTOOD THE SAYINGS OF THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD (PEACE BE UPON HIM) THE BEST, WERE HIS COMPANIONS, AND WE CAN EXAMINE THEIR APPLICATION OF THE SAYINGS OF THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD (PEACE BE UPON HIM) TO DERIVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING. WE FIND THAT AFTER THE DEATH OF THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD (PEACE BE UPON HIM), MANY HYPOCRITES WHO HAD PRETENDED TO BE MUSLIM BEGAN TO TURN AWAY AND LEAVE THEIR RELIGIOUS DUTIES, ONE EXAMPLE WAS ZAKAT (THE CHARITY TAX). THEY WANTED TO COMPROMISE THE COMMANDS OF GOD. IT WAS THEN THAT ABU BAKR, THE FIRST CALIPH AND THE CALIPH OF THAT TIME, CITED THIS NARRATION TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT A COMPROMISE WOULD NOT BE TOLERATED AND HE WOULD FIGHT THEM UNTIL THEY AGREED TO FOLLOW ISLAM IN FULL. THE FIGHTING THAT RESULTED WAS KNOWN AS THE RIDDAH WARS. SIMILARLY, WE CAN SEE THAT TODAY'S GOVERNMENTS WOULD NOT TOLERATE IT IF A CITIZEN REFUSED TO PAY TAX OR ABIDE BY THE LAWS OF THE COUNTRY. IF ONE LIVES IN A STATE OR COUNTRY THEY MUST ABIDE BY THE REGULATIONS TO ENSURE A SECURE AND HEALTHY SOCIETY. WE SHOULD NOTE THAT THE 'PEOPLE' REFERRED TO IN THIS NARRATION DOES NOT REFER TO ALL OF HUMANITY. AS SHAYKH AHMED IBN TAYMIYYAH SAYS: “ IT REFERS TO FIGHTING THOSE WHO ARE WAGING WAR , WHOM ALLAH HAS PERMITTED US TO FIGHT. IT DOES NOT REFER TO THOSE WHO HAVE A COVENANT WITH US WITH WHOM ALLAH COMMANDS US TO FULFILL OUR COVENANT.” (MAJMU` AL-FATAWA 19/20) CLEARLY, THIS NARRATION DOES NOT REFER TO IMPOSING ISLAM UPON NON-MUSLIMS, SINCE THE QUR'AN EXPLICITLY STATES: 2:256 THERE IS NO COMPULSION IN RELIGION... ALSO, WE HAVE ALREADY DEALT WITH THE CLAIMS THAT THIS VERSE WAS ABROGATED UNDER OUR DISCUSSION OF VERSE 9:5. ONCE UNDERSTOOD IN THEIR CORRECT CONTEXT, THESE VERSES AND NARRATIONS BECOME CLEAR. |

I wanted Abdulsalam to give me some tangible defence that can actually throw me off balance but I wait and wait..... In the meantime, Mr Abdulsalam, I am not muslim, not sure if you saw my moniker at the bottom. I am Christian by the grace of God. And no, I dont have a PhD in Islamic Studies. The Caliph Al-Baghdadi has a PhD in Islamic Studies and above all he speaks Arabic. He definitely understands the Koran and the hadiths in the original language! 2 Likes |
