A guide for non-Muslims, school teachers and students – Excellent!

Student: “Peace be upon you.”

Imam: “And peace be upon you and God’s mercy.”

Student: “What is Islam? And what is a Muslim?”

Imam: “Islam is the religion which was revealed to all of the prophets of God. Islam is to submit to God by worshipping Him alone without partners, to obey His commandments and to keep away from all forms of polytheism. A Muslim is a person who follows the Islamic faith.”

Student: “What are the sources of the Islamic religion?”

Imam: “The sources of Islam are two: 1. The Qur’an which is the book that was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (may the peace and blessings of God be upon him). It is considered by all Muslims to be the actual spoken word of God which he communicated to mankind by revelation to his chosen Prophet, Muhammad. 2. The Sunnah which is the Prophetic tradition or path. This refers to the Prophet’s speech, actions, silent approvals, outward appearance and character that was observed by his companions, written down and passed on generation after generation in written form and oral tradition. This body of literature is often referred to as Hadith. Muslims do not worship Prophet Muhammad in any form whatsoever.”

Student: “Who is Allah?”

Imam: “Allah is God Almighty. It is an Arabic word that means: The God who alone is deserving of being worshipped.”

Student: “Who are the prophets of Islam?”

Imam: “The prophets of Islam are the same as the prophets of the Jews and the Christians whom we refer to as ‘The People of the Book’. The Muslims also believe in a final prophet that was born in Mecca in 570CE, whose name was Muhammad. So Muslims believe in all of the prophets of God such as Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon them all). Muslims believe they were all sent to instruct the people to worship God alone, to obey Him, to do righteous deeds and to shun idolatry. So there is a shared tradition between these three religions in that they believe in many of the same prophets and in the revealed scriptures.”

Student: “How should a Muslim behave around non-Muslims?”

Imam: “God and His prophet have instructed the believers to treat people with kindness and with the best of manners. God said: “God does not forbid you to deal justly and kindly with those who did not fight against you on account of Religion and did not drive you out of your homes. Verily, God loves those who deal with equity.” (Qur’an 60: A disciple of the Prophet Muhammad called Ibn Abbas said: “Respond to the greeting of peace from a Jew, a Christian, or a Magian because God has said: “And when you are greeted with a salutation of peace, then greet in response with one better than it or at least the same as it.” Another disciple, Ibn Mas’ood would greet the non-Muslims by waving at them. (Ref: Adab al-Mufrad of Bukhari). Muslims must be truthful, honest, caring, charitable and neighbourly towards Muslims and non-Muslims alike. A disciple of the Prophet, Abdullah Ibn Amr cooked a goat and said to his servant: “Have you sent some to our Jewish neighbour yet? I heard God’s Messenger say: ‘Angel Gabriel did not cease to exhort me concerning the neighbour until I began to think he would inherit from me!'” (Ref: Bukhari) When the Prophet and his disciples were in Mecca being oppressed and treated badly by the pagan tribes, he made mention of a Christian Abyssinian King about whom he said: “If only you were to leave out and go to the land of Abyssinia, for indeed there is a king there who does not oppress anyone.” (Ref: Biography of the Prophet by Ibn Hisham). So this type of friendly interaction between the Muslims and non-Muslims leads to people having good thoughts about God, Islam, the Prophet Muhammad and his disciples which in turn leads to a greater understanding of the Muslim faith. The great Muslim scholar Ibn Uthaimin said: “Look how many people there are who first entered into Islam because of the fine conduct of the Muslims, their truthfulness and honesty in their transactions.”

Student: “We see Islam and terrorism often mentioned together these days. So what does Islam say about terrorism?”

Imam: “Islam forbids all forms of terrorist activity. There are however some extreme factions of people who, in the name of Islam, terrorise both Muslims and non-Muslims alike. The most well-known of these militant groups are Al-Qaeda and ISIS in Syria and Iraq. These terrorist groups are called Khawarij in Islamic terminology because the term refers to those who rebel against Islam and the Muslims. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) foretold their appearance and instructed the Muslims to stay away from them, and to defend themselves if they attack them. They first rebelled against the Prophet’s disciples in the time of the fourth Caliph, Ali, killing some of the finest companions of the Prophet Muhammad.”

Student: “So why do these militant Khawarij look upon the rest of humankind and see them as worthless who can be killed without mercy and compassion?”

Imam: “Because they believe they are the only ones left with any true faith in God, and everyone else besides them is an infidel, or an apostate whose life has no value. They see themselves as God’s chosen people who must punish all the “enemies of God”, cleanse the earth by the mass killing of Muslims and non-Muslims alike. That is why they can stroll down a street and open fire on every man, woman and child in sight without a second thought or any compassion. One of their leaders openly claimed: “Today the whole of the world is a land of unbelievers, even Mecca and Madinah.” These Khawarij are merciless killers who have no compassion, they kill innocent, unarmed civilians without any regard for life. They do not judge by God’s Laws; they are a law unto themselves and they have no religion except that which they have invented for themselves; they murder Muslims and non-Muslims indiscriminately. They burn Muslims alive in cages, and then claim piety for themselves! And you have heard this yourself from the actions of ISIS. The Prophet said: “No one punishes with fire except the Lord of the fire.” (Ref: Abu Dawud) The Khawārij are people who have no mercy, so they will not be shown mercy, just as the Prophet Muhammad said: “Whoever does not show mercy to people, Allāh will not show mercy to him.” (Ref: Muslim)”

Student: “What are the signs of radicalisation that I can spot in others so I can avoid it and advise them?”

Imam: “There are certain signs and signals that you can see in someone who’s trying to radicalize others. Let me list a few of the clearest signs of an extremist: 1) He will constantly focus upon the political situation of the Muslim regimes in the Middle-East, and make that the centre-point of his discussion as if it is the most important affair in Islam. 2) He will abuse the Muslim rulers declaring them to be unbelievers and apostates; and then justify violent revolution in Muslim countries under the banner of “judgement is for Allāh!” A phrase misappropriated by the extremists and misused. 3) He will praise the leaders of extremist ideologies such as Sayyid Qutb (died 1966). Qutb is revered by extremists all around the world from Ibn Laden to Anwar Al-Awlaki. He was a prominent leader of the Egyptian group, The Muslim Brotherhood. His writings are widespread and translated into dozens of languages including English. The US-born Yemeni terrorist, Anwar Al-Awlaki once boasted that he was so immersed in the writings of Sayyid Qutb that he felt the presence of Qutb with him in his prison cell! 4) He will declare all Muslims who contradict his political world-view as unbelievers. 5) He will quite often glorify the acts of violence perpetrated by terrorists whether it be suicide bombings, beheading of hostages, killing of non-Muslims, kidnappings, etc. You will not hear condemnation of violent extremism or its figureheads from him.”

Student: “If I see Muslim women in hijab or men with beards who pray, should I be worried? Will they try and recruit me?”

Imam: “Not at all. Muslims are commanded to dress modestly and pray five times a day, spend in charity, fast in Ramadan and do righteous deeds. So when you see Muslim women in hijab, men wearing long shirts and growing beards, do not take these as signs of extremism. You should never confuse orthodox Islam with extremism. Many learned practising Muslims are the most vocal in opposing terrorism. Eating halal meat, praying five times a day, growing a beard and wearing a hijab are not signs of extremism! We need to beware of the methods the extremists employ to try and recruit Muslim teenagers, both boys and girls. I am sure you’ve heard of cases where teenagers have run away from home to join ISIS, leaving their families behind. They were groomed on the internet by extremists who convinced them to hide their true intentions and their radical beliefs; to lie to their parents, relatives and teachers, and eventually run away from home. This is haram (forbidden) in Islam because it involves deception, causes heart-ache to loved ones – and of course joining a militant group opposes the Islamic faith. The Prophet would not allow people to run away and leave their parents behind in tears. You must not be deceived by the videos and speeches of ISIS because they are very skilful manipulators of the truth who can easily convince people by their misinterpretation of Islam. That is why many young people who fell into their web of deceit and left their homes fell into regret later on and are now stuck thousands of miles away in a war zone where people are killing each other daily.”

Student: “What can I do if I know someone is trying to invite me to join ISIS or other extremist groups, or even planning a terrorist attack?”

Imam: “You must tell someone you trust; tell a parent and a teacher, or the police. It is a duty in Islam to stamp out terrorism. The Prophet (may the peace and blessings of God be upon him) said: “There are no people amongst whom sins are committed and they are stronger than those who commit them yet they do not prevent them except that God will punish all of them” So when you know someone is about to commit a crime, you cannot stand by and let that happen. Allah and His Prophet have instructed us to help stop criminal acts.

Student: “So what does Islam say about Jihad?”

Imam: “Jihād in Islām is of various types. It is to strive in God’s cause; and this begins with striving against one’s soul in obedience to God; to learn Islam correctly from the right sources; to act upon what you have learned; and to teach that to others with patience, even if you suffer hardship in that path. So this is Jihad as the great scholar of the middle-ages Ibn Al-Qayyim (died 752AH) stated. And from the types of Jihad is war upon the battlefield in a conventional and strictly legitimate war. An example of a legitimate declaration of war was the first Gulf War in 1990-91 after Kuwait was invaded by the Iraqi army under the leadership of Saddam Hussein. So Saudi Arabia defended its borders by the use of its recruited army in an alliance with other countries. The following are some of the important principles and guidelines of Jihad as agreed upon by the Muslim scholars: A) War is declared by leaders who have legitimate governments and not by individual citizens, or terrorists, or insurgents, or preachers, or through social media! B) This war must be for a just cause, in obedience to God, and for His worship. C) Civilians cannot be killed or harmed in conflict and war. This includes securing the safety of all civilians: women, children, monks, emissaries, teachers, nurses, doctors, aid workers and so on. The claim of terrorists that all non-Muslims [and even Muslims who disagree with them] are legitimate targets goes against Islamic teachings. D) One does not fight for personal gain, or tribalism, or to steal wealth, or for political partisanship, or to rape and pillage, or for repute, fame and adventure. The terrorists obligate what they call jihad in any situation and have thus hijacked the term. They fight without a legitimate rulership, they kill those whom it is not permitted to kill, Muslims and non-Muslims alike; they plant bombs in civilian areas; they kill themselves in suicide bombings, which is forbidden. They murder those whom the rulers have invited into Muslim countries under the guarantee of security and safety. So what they partake in cannot be considered as Jihad in any sense of the word.”

Student: “Thank you Imam for your time and may God’s peace be upon you.”

Imam: “It has been my pleasure – and may the peace of God and His Mercy be upon you.”

See these hypocrites. What about the millions your brother hitler killed? In fact all christians are not true christians considering the violent verses contained in the bible. Your yahweh himself is a ruthless, merciless killer with no conscience. Christians have killed so many people in the world today but no one associates their actions with their religion. You may not be using bombs but I can't recall how many times you people burn thieves/ witches to death for minor things. A lot of you sell drugs, traffick human beings yet you never see anyone associating your actions with christianity. In fact most of the criminals in this world are christians

falopey:


This one go school at all? Or you be one of those zombies that don't know what is right on their own except what they are being fed with by there islamic hate preachers? No offence. Just asking. Some, I mean some and not every muslims get brain but act like the brain has been removed in their skull and replace with quran instead. That's why some of them, I agree not all anyway, are fed with quranic trash to an extent of being gullible enough to act as suicide bombers. Christians will not take any trash from any pastor and swallow it hook and sinker. Because dem get brain, dem go analyze it and follow what is proper.

Christianity is a religion that doesn't live in the past as you quoted on that they used to burn people and all that. If you claim the bible say some bad things about violence, that s why God make us human. We have the power to do what is
right and wrong. We have power of choice.


If actually you go school, not offence, just saying, you go know say Hitler no fight religious war. He no attribute his atrocities as being ordered by any religion. He sent to concentration camps, both jews and Christians that spoke against his actions. Hitler might come from Christian parents, but he himself did not profess Christianity. In fact, Hitler was an atheist.

About the war that Hitler fought, it was a purely political and economic war. So learn to draw a line between religious conflicts as perpetrated by your brothers and political conflicts as staged byHitler.

Nobody says there are not criminals that profess to be Christians by their religion as we have criminal Muslims too that are drug trafficers. Abi you wan tell me say your brothers on haj ni dey traffic drugs go Mecca? As eh dey for niki, na so eh dey for gbanja. But how many of these people claim tbey are inspired by the bible or Christianity to commit terror? But some other people are inspired by their so called religion of ""peace"" to cause lack of peace in the religions name. You see as I quote that word peace well well because I know the word peace must mean something different in islam. Not as the word understand it to be.

Let us reason and analyze things very well before we talk so we don't sound like some that reason with their anuus

You can quote me. I give a damn
