chiefolododo:Speak like a knowledgeable person |
By Craig Considine Islamophobes have attacked me because I’ve written positively about Muhammad, the Prophet of Islam. Because I am a Catholic, they consider me to be a heretic and feel that my interfaith activities are sacrilegious. Islam, to these critics, is evil and Muhammad is nothing but a terrorist. I see Muhammad very differently from these fanatics. This short piece highlights his exemplary character and challenges Islamophobes to think differently about the Prophet. One reason why I admire Muhammad is that he was an advocate of equality. In his Last Sermon at Mount Arafat, he declared: “An Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab, nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab… a white person has no superiority over black nor does a black have any superiority over white except by piety and good action.” The Prophet’s sermon ensured freedom for all people in society. His democratic message could be seen as a precursor to the American Constitution, which stands for similar egalitarian values, and to the pluralist outlook of the Founding Fathers, such as George Washington and Benjamin Franklin. I also admire Prophet Muhammad because he advocated for religious tolerance, particularly towards Jews and Christians. In the Treaty of Maqnah, the Prophet told followers of Judaism that “[you] may be in peace… you are in security [under my rule]… Towards you is no wrong and no enmity.” As in his relations with the Jews, Muhammad wanted to protect Christians, who are also considered to be revered people to Muslims. In a covenant he made with Christian monks at Mount Sinai, Muhammad ensured the monks that Christian judges would be protected and churches preserved. The words of the covenant state that Muslims should look to Jews and Christians as their brothers and sisters who are children of the Almighty. In light of these treaties and covenants, the recent attacks by the Islamic State against religious minorities in Syria and Iraq are particularly striking because they blatantly contradict the Prophet’s call for tolerance within the Abrahamic tradition. By extending religious tolerance to non-Muslims, Muhammad stood for human rights. The Prophet wanted women to have liberty so that they could live the kind of life that they desire. Two of his closest female companions demonstrate this point. His first wife, Khadija, was a successful merchant who ran a thriving caravan trade. Another of the Prophet’s wives, Aisha, became a leading Muslim scholar and jurist who was the first ever-female scholar of Islam. The relationship that he had with his wives showed that the Prophet believed that women should take leading roles in society and partake in important matters related to law and politics. The integration of these women into Arab society demonstrates that Muhammad did not want women to live in isolation, but rather he wanted them to become active members of society. Smaller things outside of equality, religious tolerance and human rights also make me appreciate Prophet Muhammad. The Quran, as revealed to Muhammad, tells Muslims not to defame or be sarcastic towards other people. The Prophet believed that name-calling was wicked and he encouraged his followers to be civil in their interactions with others. He also taught us the importance of humility, and he encouraged Muslims and non-Muslims to be humble and pray. The Islamophobes who do not see the value in Muhammad’s qualities are simply being close-minded. If the Prophet were alive, he would show them mercy and compassion in spite of their actions. He would also tell them to seek more knowledge.. www.mvslim.com/why-i-admire-muhammad-a-response-to-islamophobes/ |

Ifeann: |
Ifeann:You don't discuss,you do copy and paste articles from websites. All your threads, none comes from your intellectuals, so when adequate answers are given to you you can't understand and comprehend them and your rebuttals are always thrash. You can't discuss what is not in your brain.You can't give what you don't have. While ur more devout muslim brothers (ISIS, Al SHabba, BOKO HARaM, al nusra, taliban etc) murder christians, jews, yadizis, kurds and blow up shia's mosques you are here defending the ideology that promotes the chaos. A false religion aka a totalitarian political ideology invented by a sex addicted paedophile.Surah Al-Furuqan 25:27-29-- And (remember) the Day when the Zâlim (wrong-doer) will bite at his hands, he will say: "Oh! Would that I had taken a path with the Messenger ( Muhammad SAW).. "Ah! Woe to me! Would that I had never taken so-and-so as a Khalil (an intimate friend)!. "He indeed led me astray from the Reminder (this Qur'ân) after it had come to me. And Shaitân(Satan) is to man ever a deserter in the hour of need |

Good read, Jazakhair Khairan But AlBaqir, can I ask a question? If Sheik Al-Albani, Imaam Al-Arnaut et al considers the hadith of 'two weighty things' as Sahih, why don't they reject the Immamate of the first three Caliphs as you do? |

usermane:@Underlined, you also know you are provoking me. usermane:If we are to take the literal meaning of the hadith without considering it in the light of other Ahadith and the Qu'ran , it will contradict common sense. I gave you other examples. 1)''Anyone that memorizes the names of Allah will enter paradise''- Hadith. I ask you usermane, if we take the literal meaning of this hadith too, does it means that even if an arab pagan memorized the names of Allah(Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala)? Will he enter paradise? You failed to reply me. usermane:So, does this mean that as a muslim, one won't work righteousness all his life and will wait till his death bed in order to utter 'La Ilaha Illa Allah'? ? Let me give an example from the Qu'ran.Allah(Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala) says in Surah Yunus 10:90-92 --And We took the Children of Israel across the sea, and Fir'aun (Pharaoh) with his hosts followed them in oppression and enmity, till when drowning overtook him, he said: "I believe that none has the right to be worshipped but He (Allah)," in Whom the Children of Israel believe, and I am one of the Muslims (those who submit to Allâh's Will)." Now (you believe) while you refused to believe before and you were one of the Mufsidûn (evil- doers, corrupters). So this day We shall deliver your (dead) body (out from the sea) that you may be a sign to those who come after you! And verily, many among mankind are heedless of Our Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs , revelations, etc.). Look! Even Firaun's last words was 'There's no deity worthy of worship except the Ilah of the children of Israel(Allah)'!! So does this mean Firaun will enter paradise? The Qu'ran replies in Surah Ghafir 40:46 --The Fire; they are exposed to it, morning and afternoon, and on the Day when the Hour will be established (it will be said to the angels): "Cause Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) people to enter the severest torment! But usermane, literally the hadith says 'ANYONE who pronounces La Ilah Illa Allah' and Firaun did, why won't he enter paradise? Firaun did so to save himself, he said it hypocritically and even because of this hypocritical saying of his, Allah(Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala) didn't make the body of Firaun to decay and his body serves as a sign to mankind. This shows the power of that statement. So does this means that even if a kaffir says such, will he/she enters paradise? That knowledge is with my Lord(Allah) He's the knower of what is in the breast of men, if the person utter it sincerely from the bottom of his/her heart Allah willing, he/she will enter paradise.However, it is not definite whether such a person will go to paradise in the first phase or will be admitted to it in the second phase after undergoing a purification process.This depends on the Will of Allah(Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala), to Him belongs the Judgement Day. As for a muslim, you won't leave the obligatory duties in which Allah(Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala) has enjoined on you and wait until your deathbed in order to utter the statement, it doesn't work that way. Yet, admission to paradise is subjected to a person's thorough understanding of monotheism and its conditions, that is to say, a complete abstinence from a polytheistic conduct of life. Muslims are encouraged to utter this statement on their deathbed because Shaitan may whisper words of shirk to one on his/her deathbed.A muslim that dies in his sleep or one that dies in a motor accident without having the chance to utter this word, does it means he/she will enter hell and not paradise? NO! Let's hope you've understood it thoroughly |
usermane:You did imply that. Read usermane:The intention of the wife is to pleased Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala) by obeying Allah's commands in relation to her husband and other commandments of Allah(Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala).Her sole goal is for Allah to be pleased with her, if in the course of doing that, her husband may be pleased with her if the husband is an upright thinking man and righteous and on the other hand, he may not be pleased with her if he's not thinking in the right direction. A bad man may find solace and being pleased with the bad attitudes of his wife, that doesn't signify Allah is pleased with her. A good husband being pleased with his righteous wife will only add to the wife's honour in the sight of Allah.Her husband not being pleased with her doesn't reduce her chances of entering paradise. I hate repeating myself bros. usermane:Any woman? Even if she's a bad woman and her husband is pleased with her? Stop interpreting to suit your crooked beliefs and hatred for Ahadith. I have gave you examples. 1)''Anybody that offers 12 rakats of nawafil will enter paradise''.Does that means nawafil only without fard? 2)''Anyone that memorizes the names of Allah will enter paradise''.Even if an arab pagan memorized them? Will he enter paradise? There are certain criterias you must have fulfilled before the reward of the Ahadith above and the hadith in question can comes in. I'm sick of this reasoning of yours.Ahadith are interpreted in line with Qu'ran and other Ahadith. usermane:A righteous woman must have fulfilled her obligations.Even if her husband isn't pleased with her upon death, that doesn't mean she won't enter paradise. My words again A Husband being pleased with her wife isn't a ticket to paradise, but a SUPEROGATORY ACT which would add to her honour on the day of Judgement usermane:Me? Hadith of Shahadah? Are you hallucinating? Hatred surely blinds one's reasoning, your hatred for Ahadith has made you lose concentration and your thinking faculty. Nowhere did I bring Hadith of Shahadah, you are the only one seeing that in your mind. |
usermane:@Underlined, nowhere did I give such impression.It's like you are finding it very difficult to comprehend simple thing. I said lanrexlan:Usermane, is it difficult to understand or is your creed pushing you not to accept simple thing or you are trying to play hide and seek game? usermane:Well, there's little I can do with your comprehension level since you aren't a machine that needs a manual servicing. |
usermane:Only a bad husband will be pleased with his wife's bad behaviors or negligence of Islamic injunctions. The Prophet(Peace be upon him and his household) said:This world is temporary joys, and the best temporary joy of this world is a righteous wife.[Narrated by Muslim, 1467] Won't you be pleased with a righteous wife? If you aren't pleased with a righteous wife, then check yourself. usermane:I started my analogies using your logic in which you want us to believe. You said usermane:You are insinuating that the hadith says the ticket to paradise is when a mortal is being pleased with his/her fellow mortal and not for those who observe salat, give Zakat and are righteous thus the hadith contradicting the Qu'ran. I went on to prove to you that your logic is wrong using different analogies. I said if I memorized the names of Allah(Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala), will I leave the fard enjoined on me by Allah(Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala) and his Prophet(Peace be upon him and his household) because the hadith says 'Anyone who memorized the names will enter paradise'? Does the hadith says memorization of Allah's name ONLY is the ticket to paradise? Is that the only deed I will do? NO! Similarly, the hadith you quoted doesn't in any manner says that a man pleased with his wife is the only thing a woman must do to enter paradise. I told you that those are SUPEROGATORY ACTS and you don't leave fard for nawafil. usermane:My analogies don't correspond with your opinion. My stance is that:'You don't leave fard for nawafil, thousand of nawafil without fard is zero.Because hadiths say some SUPEROGATORY ACTS will take you Jannah doesn't mean you will do them only without the compulsory ones.If you don't do the SUPEROGATORY ACTS, that don't mean you want Jannah, doing them add to your honour with Allah(Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala).' Is it hard to comprehend? Surah Al-Fatiha is compulsory, other parts of salat are compulsory as well.If you omit one, your salat is void, they are all fards So how does my analogies tally what you put forward? usermane:There's nothing villifiable about you, I am just stating the obvious and advising you to go back to Madrasah. |
sino:Ok oo, but who go promote us na? |
