I can be a monster, the devil himself, there is so much evil i can possibly do,
But, i'll rather be an angel, nay, a human, a man who is envied and respected by the angels.

The world is my stage, my power knows no limit; everything on earth, to me, subservient;
Still, i am just, balanced, never to the extremes, for i rule by the sharia; the law divine.

I am me in front of a tyrant, when faced with adversity or great misfortune, i show no fear nor grieve for i have faith and i pray.

I am patient and calm, sometimes, docile as a dove; for i have been told: success is for those who patiently preserve.

I am a lion, bold and fierce, my enemies quiver at my presence, yet, i show compassion...

Even though i am being misrepresented by unscrupulous few, i remain true; dedicated to the truth.

I am a part of a new world order, one which gaurantees a lasting peace to planet earth.

Who am i? you ask...
I am a Muslim, one who submits to the creator with hope and fear of meeting with Him at the end of the day.

^Very nice poem. I am hoping you wrote it.

^Thanks and yes, i wrote it.

I am a part of a new world order

can you give more details.

sino: ^Thanks and yes, i wrote it.

Alhamdulillah

Pristine Islam.

maclatunji:

Alhamdulillah

Ma shallah!

Pristine Islam.

elaborate plz.

lol

tpia@:


elaborate plz.

Islam is a set of beliefs that is meant to emancipate man from the shackles of self-destruction, a path towards felicity.

As it is true for all ideologies to want to dominate, we muslims believe that, Islam, will eventually rule the world before the end time.
I hope i have elaborated enough?

^not really.

why did you describe yourself as being part of a new world order?

in what way can Islam be described as such, given the fact that it has been around since 600 AD.

I am part of Islam, part of those who aspire to be instrumental for its spread around the world; it is called dawah(call to Islam).

I portray Islam as a new world order for it was an unprecedented complete way of life, one which marries all aspect of human existence. I dont mean it as a new concept just discovered, rather a system which is quite strange, unlike what is available in the past or present...a perfect system!
There is the saying of the prophet(SAW), he said: "Islam came as strange and will return strange".

i think the phrase "new world order" are pretty much self explanatory.

how you're mixing it with Islam is what is not yet clear.

I mean, i dont want to jump to the obvious conclusions which might not make sense to everybody.

Yes the phrase is self explanatory.

Islam is and will bring about a new world order.

Perhaps you should share "the obvious conclusion" cos i dont get it.

in what way is Islam going to bring about a new world order?


If by new world order you mean conquest of non-muslim nations and compelling them to convert to Islam, then i still fail to see how that's something new given the fact that many Muslim countries now were once Christian.

if, however, by new world order you're referring to the Muslim world itself, then that's an entirely different implication.

I think i have made myself clear. To simply put, its a prophecy of what will happened at the end time, there are several hadiths in relation to the fact that Islam will rule the world for a number of years before the world comes to an end, a rule which brings lasting peace to the world.

"There is no compulsion in religion" so the Qur'an states. People will accept Islam willingly not forced or coerced.

islam can never rule the world with the use of force

toba: islam can never rule the world with the use of force

The series of happenings which shall take place towards the end time had been prophesised, its part of our believes as muslims.

The fact that good and evil will always be in battle rules out a peaceful reign of good without resistance or attack from those who are inclined to evil. Good will always prevail.

We muslims are encouraged to call to Islam (dawah) and be dedicated...where we are faced with war, we defend ourselves.

u are not getting me at all. the troubles shaking the entire world now is caused by muslims and if thats part of the prophecy, then theres much to be desired

^this is very wrong, and misguided.
If you are talking about the present uproar against the film, then it wasnt caused by the muslims, history has shown the consequencies of such provocative attack.

And howmany times muslims have made it clear that the actions of these people are not islamic.
and to answer your question, what is happening now(the castigation of Islam and muslims) is part of the prophecy, and at the end of the day, we will be vindicated mashallah.

yoruba says 'ise kii dede se' i.e no curse without a cause. Muslims all over the world have always be known to be intolerant of other religious belief. u are right that pple are roaring against islam because of what some muslims made us to believe about islam.

Right here on Nl very few muslims are tolerant 99% of u guys are not accommodating. this alone will make pple feel like attacking islam or dont u think?

On the contrary, it has been non-muslims not being tolerant of Islam and the rules and regulation of the Islamic section on NL.

I read some of your comments about Islam, and i feel so bad and irked.

You attack Islam unjustly cos of what some muslims do, not knowing you also fall into same category with those muslims who act ignorantly albeit to different degree.

toba: yoruba

Wow. I did not know that there are so many unaccomodating Muslims on Nairaland.
Thank you for supplying us with that very credible piece of information.

Very few muslims go on the Religious section to attack christians and their faith....

But you guys can't get your hands of this section with your constant misinformation and attacks on Islam and muslim.

And you accuse us of intolerance??

u didnt read the first part of my post. pple started attacking islam because of some of the messages u preach and the intolerance in the quran. Now the bible encourages us to lve our enemies and not to kill them. bible says we shouldnt call pple unbelivers like u pple call us. the bible never said we shdnt marry muslim women like ur quran prevents ur women from marrying us. so many differences and hatred are being taught in islam. as a human being, i cant relate with u well when ur holy book directs u to treat me as an enemy. the main cause of roaring against islam is the message it teaches. Just imagine the segregation being practised in islam. some of ur ladies keep telling me that aside frm religious differences, they see no reason why they cant marry a christian.

all these makes pple sick

well im not a dishonest person. that % aggregate is gross and not net

toba: well im not a dishonest person. that % aggregate is gross and not net

Abeg let me hear word, you were over exaggerating. Now about your not being dishonest;

toba: the bible encourages us to lve our enemies and not to kill them.

Jesus called the Pharisees vipers in Matthew 12:34, why? do you show your enemy love by insulting them and calling them animals?

toba:
bible says we shouldnt call pple unbelivers like u pple call us.

There is nothing derogatory about being called an unbeliever. If you don't believe then you're an unbeliever, if you are not a professional then you are unprofessional, if you are not cooperative then you are uncooperative. You don't believe in Islam so you are an unbeliever in Islam. 'un' is just a prefix, stop attaching negative meanings to it.

toba: then the bible never said we shdnt marry muslim women like ur quran prevents ur women from marrying us.

What does 'do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers' mean? Because it is a directive in your Bible.

More rubbish. I'm not sure I have time to discredit them.

You see, more misinformation in your short post....

The quran does not tell you to 'kill' you enemy.... This is what the Quran says:

(41:34) (O Prophet), good and evil are not equal. Repel (evil) with that which is good, and you will see that he, between whom and you there was enmity, shall become as if he were a bosom friend (of yours).

The christians are the ones who made the word 'infidel' popular when they went on the crusades in 1099.

The word used in the Quran is 'Kafir' which means One who rejects or buries the truth-

This means that a kafir is someone that has been presently with Islam in the correct way without the distortions and rejects it... Not all non-muslims are kafir, That is not the way the Quran uses the term....

As long as you have not fought me or committed injustice against me, why will i have problems with you...

You people get misinformed and come here to promote your misinformation...

"To you be your religion, and to me my religion (Surah Kaafiroon: 6)

If you come with a genuine intention to clarify things then fine... Muslims can also go to the religious section and spread what you might consider misinformation about your faith...

Two can play that game...

The hatred of Islam by many christians is palpable.... they just can't get enough of Islam...

interesting. u guys have enlarged the scope of this discourse. i'll respond line by line in earnest.

fellis:

I just wonder why u hate me even though i like u. I said it was a gross estimation and by going harsh on me proves ur intolerance

fellis:

That's not the case my sister. they were the seed of Satan. let me explain. The Pharisees were the most numerous and wealthy sect of the Jews. They derived their name from the Hebrew word Pharash, which signifies to set apart, or to separate, because they separated themselves from the rest of their countrymen, and professedly devoted themselves to special strictness in religion. Their leading tenets were the following: that the world was governed by fate, or by a fixed decree of God; that the souls of men were immortal, and were either eternally happy or miserable beyond the grave; that the dead would be raised; that there were angels, good and bad; that God was under obligation to bestow special favor on the Jews; and that they were justified by their own conformity to the law. They were proud, haughty, self-righteous, and held the common people in great disrespect, John 7:49. They sought the offices of the state, and affected great dignity. They were ostentatious in their religious worship, praying in the corners of the streets, and seeking publicity in the bestowment of alms. They sought principally external cleanliness, and dealt much in ceremonial ablutions and washing. To me these people are hypocrites by their description

fine. if thats the definition of unbeliever in Islam. I can also call non christians unbelievers too.

people who don't believe in God almighty.
