Empiree: Need I say more?. You summed it all by acknowledging facts but spoiled it by adding "so called"to suggest they are not necessarily CHRISTIANs. Anyways you agree that Jews and Christian terrorists are greatest threats to humanity right now.
Even though you decided to bring about way against apostates by Abu Bakr (ra), I can also go back to history. Before prophet muhammad (saw), didn't Jews and CHRISTIANS at war as well?. How about Roman army that invaded Jerusalem and destroyed it?. And other countless wars like that before the advent of Nabi Muhammad, were they muslims?
I used the words 'so-called' because their activities ran against the teachings of Christ. And using the word 'Christian terrorist' is very strange and equally funny.
The destruction of Jerusalem was foretold in Matthew 24 by Jesus and this event took place in 70AD while led to the sacking of the Jews from Jerusalem and the destruction of the temple of Solomon. This is the 'abomination of desolation' standing on the holy place which the Bible foretold by the prophet Daniel. The Romans, at least in the 1st and the 2nd century of the Christian era does not identify with Christianity and not until the 4th century, in the council of nicea, 'integrated' Christianity into their sociopolitical order headed by the pope. You are often equating the Romans with Christianity but history proved that the greatest persecutor of the Christian church is the papacy or the Roman Catholic. I don't want to drag this issue off tangent so much.
My argument is summarized thus: the rightly guided khalifas can be said to understand Islam more than any contemporary Muslim hence their actions can be judge as sunnah of the prophet. If all the rightly guided khalifas are warmongers and battle field generals, it will be difficult to conclude that Islam is a religion of peace. The battle of Badr was not provoked by the apostates but by Abu Bakr in order to forcefully bring the apostates back to the fold and Islam and to ensure that they pay zakat to the Islamic state under the new leadership of Abu Bakr as sadiq. This action by Abu Bakr, in this modern world, will be viewed as unwanted provocation and forceful conversion of unwilling citizens. The apostates never threatened the Muslims here.
And now because I mentioned Judeo/Christian TERRORISTS you backtracked
The submission was based on the claim by 'najib632' that Islam is very peaceful when the opposite is true. At least it is on record that Mohammed's household was not wiped out by the Jews or the Christians but by the Muslims. And it is also on record that the new Islamic state went to a civil war immediately after the demise of the prophet, the battle against the apostates led by Abu Bakr.
The records are there for you to verify. I will however agree with you that the so-called Christian world have been the greatest threat to human existence, especially in this atomic age. The Christians world will surely destroy this world with their atomic weapon stockpile. And note, the Islamic world are also developing a new weapon program (Pakistan and Iran for now).
Empiree: So you can tell me to remove the religion lens after I mentioned "Judeo/Christian TERRORISTS", abi?. But you comfortably attributed violence to Muslims but you don't want to do the same with Jews and Christians.
Check my old post; I have always advised people to remove the religious lens on certain issues.
najib632: An advice to true2god: if you're truly true2god then you should study Islam from the orthodox creed if you continue jumping around you'll not see the truth. Start from the bottom to the top, not from the top to the buttom. Islam doesn't have any faults it is the Muslims who have faults.
No religion without its fault; no perfect religion bro.
Empiree: Again, who do you blame, British or Rohingya?. Aren't the same british that forced marriage on different tribes and ethnic groups in nigeria?. Their horrible crimes are well and alive far more than Turks treatments of armenia. I do not condone Armenian genocide. Up to this mins, it is western world that constantly reminds the world of Armenia genocide while ignoring theirs. If we put percentages side by side, obviously Judeo/christian terrorists did worst. Let's just start from 18 century alone. Or have you forgotten Italian brutal invasion and genocide of Libyans under Mussolini and general Graciani?. Apart from Armenian genocide, you can hardly point to where muslim authority was invading countries and on killing rampage. it is very rare. But Judeo/christian terrorist have long record of invading muslim countries and killing them till this second. But if you want to use the terrorists created by them to make us believe they are muslims, you wrong. We all know isis and co are covert operations. Therefore, they can't be solely muslim vs others.
Yes, the British run the most genocidal empire known to man. You have to understand that the Arabs are also guilty as the British people. Both are expansionist and imperialist by nature.
The British created the mess in Myanmar and run away for the current generation to clear the mess; the same thing they did in Palestine after the Balfour declaration that sealed the creation of the state of Israel. When you remove the religious lens in appraising the global politics, you will understand better the complex issues affecting this world.
Empiree: So caging Rohingya and burning them alive and many were buried alive is "chasing them out" from their ancestral land?. Whats the point of judicial process?. then, blame the british. British created problems we are seeing in the world today not islam. The issues of sahaba you raised are within muslims. Compare that to what British(christians/Jews) did to the world of mankind. So you are justifying indiscriminate killing of Rohingya muslims over a land just like many of you guys justified killing of Palestinians. Kontinu
You are obviously not a christlike
I don't justify what is happening to the Rohyinga people but just to keep the record straight. Many Muslims are ignorant of the genesis of the crisis which was caused by the British people. You will agree with me that the Rohyjnga people can't be Myanmar people and Bangladeshi at the same time. If you have taken time to study their facial and physiological make up you will know that they are more Indian than Myanmarn hence are naturally Bangladeshis.
The Islamic Turks repatriated millions of Christian Armenians to Eastern Europe and where is the outcry from the Muslim world? The Turkish genocide against the Armenians is still fresh but no Muslim talk about it. As far as Muslims are not the victims it is OK to Muslims. Does the land belong to the Rohyinga people or the Burmese?
If you acquire land illegally, it will be forcefully consficated from you.
Empiree: where do you stand in all of these?. saudi ppl do not represent islam. We only respect them by virtues of Makkah and medina. so you dont need to always attribute violence to muslims. Bcus they entertained Carey doesn't mean they are right. We have hadith which speaks about SCUMS prevailing in the Arabia. It says when scums prevailing, wait for the destruction of Arabs. We are seeing scums now. The are basically going from one extreme to another.
Which country then represents Islam? Muslims are always denying the Saudis anytime they 'misbehave'. The Saudis determines who performs hajj, and who don't, hence holding the key to the spiritual fulfilment of millions of Muslims.
By their fruits we shall know them. The fruits of Islam are there for all to see. You can't be a more Islamic than the prophet and the 'rightly' guided khalifas. I don't need to tell you that your prophets grandchildren were not killed by the Jews and the Christians but by fellow Muslims, hence the descendants of the prophet were completely WIPED OUT!
najib632: I was told about the beauty pageants issue, and the protest is Justified how dare that man (I have forgotten his name) say that prophet Muhammad S.A.W will choose an unchaste as his wife? I also support the boycott of Denmark why will they draw the messenger of Allah S.A.W? Did the Muslims ask them? Or do they love the messenger of Allah S.A.W more than us? If you know that when you try to touch a scorpion and it will sting and you go ahead to touch will you blame it?
This are just tactics by the west to justify the atrocities made against Muslims. Till today America is yet to provide the evidence of WMD's they accuse Sadam Hussein of. They're the one's that sponsored and trained Osama bin Laden, but they later called him and the Talibans terrorists. They let Palestinians die like insects everyday, support the attrocities on Yemenies and, turn a blind eye to the massacre of the Rohingiyans, sponsor IS and install CIA agents and freemasons as Presidents of a country, while they steal and prepare the world for the coming of the anti-christ.
Not all protest are justified especially if its certain that life will be lost. The man that allegedly made the statement left unscathed while hundreds of non-muslims were killed and churches burnt. How can you justify Nigerians protesting over a cartoon drawn in far away Denmark? How does it affect us as a nation? And again, you can't censor and regulate how people should talk and think because it affects your religion. That's a crazy way of thinking! Comparing Islam to a scorpion is also derogatory, even if you don't know.
You are listing all the atrocities against Muslims without listing the atrocities of Muslims against non-muslims. Islam has been at war with non-muslims since its inception; I don't have to school you on this. All the first rightly guided khalifas are warmongers who spread the religion through the sword. On the Rohyinga issue, the Rohyinga people are from Bangladesh (formerly part of India) who supported the British war effort against the Japanese in the 2nd world war. After the defeat of Japan, they were gifted with large chunk of land in Burma, now Myanmar, (the Burmanese supporting the Japanese) where they settle for over 50 years. The Myanmar people are only kicking the Rohyinga people out from their ancestral land. The Indian and the Bangladesh govt understood this simple historical fact hence they can do little by only ensuring that the Rohyinga people are relocated back to Bangladesh where they rightfully belong to. Read history and not media propaganda.
You are only blaming the west while Muslims are all ready to relocate to the west in their hundreds of millions. As long as many people don't put their house in order, they west will continue to play you like a 'ludo'. The Chinese people put their house in order and are now free from western control and interference. Put your house in order and no troublesome neighbour will disorganize your home.
najib632: Allah will Judge us, on the day of Judgement. Let the leaders continue in their injustice, let the government scholars continue to support them. It's inevitable that we will all die and be Judged by Allah, let us who can see take heed, the antichrist will soon arrive.
That's how the western powers want Saudi Arabia to be run, a cult-like system whereby the wealth of the nation is concentrated in the hands of the few. I am beginning to believe that the Saudi leadership are greedy Jews.
najib632: You should stop associating Muslims with violence. As long as no one insults the messenger of Allah S.A.W and Allah S.W.T. you can do what ever you want. Why do you think Muslims of Sokoto and Islamabad will protest if I may ask you? Anyway that aside, if there's no hypocrisy in your heart you wouldn't support, immorality and Satanism. Call us fanatics and whatever that's worse than that, but we do not care Allah knows what is in our hearts. I swear by Allah, something big is coming and it will consume the people of falsehood, their promoters and allies. Let them rejoice it is but a little while that ibn Maryam A.S will come. Almost all the minor signs have come to pass, it is time for those of us who are not deluded by the duniya to increase in our ibada, sincerity, and memorize the holy Qur'an.
I don't know how old you are but I can tell you that Muslim fanatics protested and many died when Nigeria wanted to host a beauty pageant in Abuja. Similar incident occurred when the cartoon of Mohammed was drawn in far away Denmark. Don't tell me that you don't understand the social behaviour of Muslim fundamentalist anytime they feel aggrieved.
You can even see the height of stupidity where "hafizahullah" is being used for him.
I read from somewhere that the Saudi Royal families are actually of Jewish ancestry and are directly reporting to the Rotschild Jewish family in all their affairs. They must claim Muslims for internal and international legitimacy but are secret Jews. Have you wondered why the Saudi Royal family and the British Royal family are so close? The British Royal family are equally loyal to the Rothschild family who owned over 50% of global wealth.
The Saudis would rather destroy the Shi'a Iran yet make a good friend of the Israelis. No matter what the Israeli do, the Saudis will always back them up secretly while the ignorant Muslims will protest in their various countries or embassies.
The world have to wake up to the fact that they are being mentally played.
If Mariah Carey had performed in sokoto (Nigeria) or Islamabad (Pakistan) I am 100% sure that many churches would have been burnt down and many Christian life would have been lost because a kafir performed an 'immoral' song in the land of the ummah. But here we have mariah Carey performed life in Saudi Arabia, the traditional home of Islam, and there was no any single case of killing, burnings and rioting. In the next 10-20 years, the Saudis will host the world's most beautiful girl beauty pageant and nothing will happen.
Nigeria Muslims should open their eyes and use their brain. The Saudis are loosing up and have come to realize that religious fanatism is taking them nowhere hence the social engineering going on in Saudi Arabia to make the people think like modern men and not to dwell on the thinking of the primitive sahabas in the 7th century (using the hadith as a guide).
This is a very good news and Muslim fanatics are not happy.
etrouble: Have you, your friends and family not been sleeping with different ladies without marrying them? Have you "Civilized" ones not been promoting and hailing baby mamas?
It is wrong to sleep with a woman you are not married to. I dont subscribe to this evil of baby mamas or papas.

najib632: Al-baqir is spreading fitnah by Allah. Al-baqir it is better for you to stop these things, if only I knew Arabic I would have read the Arabic wording of those Hadith for myself. Thanks very much for this post @Empiree even though it was intended for @sino but it revealed @Al-baqir's intention of refusing the facts, even though he is the one that sent the write up himself. This has shown that Muslims really need to learn Arabic language if not criminals disguised as a scholars will mislead us.
As-salamualaikum.
He is not spreading fitna by exposing some absurdities in 'sahih' buhhari. You have to open your mind to realities.
sino: Lol, yeah objection is the context of the narration, the blind man was already consulting his lawyers to sue! Talk about twisting to validate claims...
In modern democracy he can do that. The Arabs of that period are backward and medivial in nature.
Rilwayne001: He's certainly not a true follower of Jesus. I'm sure of that. The Bible and Christianity has been exposed so much on the religion section for him to remain one. He's only here wishing and trying to make Islam appear usless like his Christianity is. He's on a futile mission with Taiwo.
aadoiza: The guy don fail already. Only fake atheists like tintingz would see sense in his facade.
Ad hominem. You can make your point without attacking strawman. We are all here to learn one thing or the other and you don't need to divert. The subject is There's No God But Allah? and you can defend your beliefs with a convincing argument. I think I understand Islam than most of you.
sino: No, there is a difference between asking questions and revelation came down to answer and a fictitious claim about being the one writing your own words to be revelation! The blind man didn't claim to have received revelation, nor did he influence the outcome, he only asked a question and answers were provided through revelation. What is the purpose of having a Prophet amongst you if you cannot ask questions and get response via revelation?! Perhaps when you understand this, you would not keep trying to force your Christian propagandist views about the Qur'an and what you think is interference in the cause of revelation.
How do you want me to address your ignorance in claiming that a hadith is surely fabricated?! Are you now an Islamic scholar of hadith?!
No, neither are you; we are all learners. You are twisting the context of the hadith to validate your claim and this is wrong. A revelation was given and was later modified after an objection was raised by a man.
Empiree: Nonsense! The only one who could tell us that a verse of Qur'an was removed was prophet Muhammad (saw) himself. No one else has the authority.
So abrogations of verse that Quran is talking about refers to previous Books like your Bible and Torah.
Read these hadith first before making your conclusion: sahih bukhari 4:52:69 and sahih bukhari 3:31:170. I am not the one that compiled the hadith.
This ayah talked about abrogation: quran 16:101 and quran 13:39.
sino: If you ask me a question and I provide answers, does that mean that the answers are from you?!
If I am to provide a guide for you (in real time) as you navigate your path in a jungle for instance, is it logical that you would ask me questions and I should provide answers?! Does these answers come from both of us?! Who is the guide and who is being guided?! Does your questions interfere in the fact that I am the one providing the guidance?! Does your interference or influence takes away the fact that I already know the answers and I am just attending to your needs as it comes?!
The Qur'an was revealed for 23 years addressing different issues some of which includes providing guidance to issues early Muslims faced. The Qur'an is meant for mankind, the practicality and the reality we face. It wasn't revealed at once for the early Muslims to figure out as they lived their lives, rather, they had the rare opportunity to experience the practicality of divine revelation, so that we can learn, apply accordingly and not make silly excuses that the guidance is impracticable!
As already explained, the question the blind man asked was for clarification, strengthening the fact that you are indeed allowed to ask questions in Islam, as well as the practicability of revealed knowledge and wisdom.
I am sorry but you do not have the requisite knowledge to "put your mouth" in this issue, let alone give a verdict on the authenticity of any hadith!
You are subjecting (or comparing) divine revelation to human interference which is a wrong comparison. If you read the sirah rasool allah by ibn Ishaq page 550 (this story was also narrated by Abu Dawood hadith 38: 4346), one of the scribes who wrote the koran, by name Abdullah ibn Sarr Ibn Abi Sarh, had the same issue and almost lost his life for that. In Islam, under no circumstances is human interference permissible in the course of quranic revelation. Or are you saying the blind man was asking for clarification from the prophet on the course of the revelation and yet could not influence the outcome (which he certainly did in this case)?
On the bolded, I am not sure you are an Islamic scholar either. Your argument seems one-sided and sentimental.
najib632: Trust me Sir, it is better for you to learn Islam from the orthodox creed so that you will have a better understanding. Yes Allah knows everything that will happen before it happens and after it does, but revealing the Qur'an an illiterate messenger(Muhammad S.A.W) and encouraged memorization as these were the best ways to preserve it. The Jews and Christians succeeded in changing their scriptures because they were mostly written and not memorized. Also another reason for revealing verses one at a time was for us to have a hadith, a tafsir or a spiritual connection to the verse, the Qur'an is the Last testament, and Islam is the final creed so out of the justice of Allah S.W.T. He had to teach the Sahaba many things so that they will pass it on to the future generations and these teachings can be applied until the last generations.
You are preaching and not making a logical case for your argument and you seem to be deviating into a Muslim-Christian debate. Most of us are not here to listen to preaching.
The crust of the matter here is that an hadith was deemed fabricated because it was narrated that a blind man raised an objection which made the prophet to modify the 'revelation' in order to protect the concern of the man. If this hadith is pronounced 'sahih', that means that Allah's revelation is subject to human interference, and if this hadith is not sahih, we can then conclude that the hadith is fabricated. Whichever way, both contrary opinion cannot be true.
And again, it is a known fact that many hadith has been proven to be fabricated, which means that this hadith in question can also be fabricated. Can I ask you a simple question? Do you believe that Allah can change his mind to accommodate human concern?
sino: We both know what I mean, this is not the first time we are engaging on issues like this, but one thing is certainly clear, your deceit cum ignorance!
Always shifting the goal post when exposed, na your way! I didn't quote the verses of the Qur'an to talk about some fictitious consensus, the verse of the Qur'an is clear, Allah (SWT) Says: “Whatever a Verse (revelation) do We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, We bring a better one or similar to it. Know you not that Allah is able to do all things?
What does "or cause to be forgotten" means Mr. intellect?! If abrogated verses must be in the Qur'an, what about the verse(s) caused to be forgotten?! My question about the verse was, did it also mean that Allah (SWT) forgets (audhubillah min dhalik!), since Allah (SWT) had to reveal another verse to nullify a previously revealed verse?!
Now back to your claim about the hadith in question, I first quoted a verse that permits companions to ask questions during revelation so as to make things clear, you ignored that... Again the narration explicitly stated the revelation was revealed to INCLUDE further clarification (so as to placate the blind man's worries), which normally was inherent in the first revelation. If I tell a group of students to run, and I know that one of them is handicapped, you don't need to be told that the handicapped is exempted, but for clarification, especially seeing the protest by the handicapped student, I would have to tell the student that he is definitely exempted! But in your quest to find fault where there is none, you claim that the narration meant that Allah (SWT) forgot (audhubillah min dhalik!)
This is your deceit and ignorance, it always manifest when you attack the sunnah!
On the bolded, if the companions were permitted to ask questions when revelations were being given, that meant that the quran was subject to human interference hence cannot be from God, or that the quran is from both God and man (since man can influence what should be revealed, in the case of the blind man).
God can of course pre-determine circumstances before giving his revelation without waiting for human input before taking decisions. I don't buy your argument bro. As a non-Muslim putting on the Islamic shoe here, that hadith is surely a fabricated one.
Rashduct4luv: Same Christians kneel for graven image of Jesus & Mary and seek help from dead saints! The Christian book contains the old Testament that contains a lot of things done with the Tabernacle... So this is no Judgement. The Judgement without doubt is what our texts says about the black stone? About Allaah? About stoning the devil?
The truth is clear from falsehood!
We are saying the same from different point of view. The shia Muslims also venerate their dead, like Imam Ali, Imam Hassan and the family of the prophet. Some of them even worship on their graves. This act, to the sunnis, is idol worship but to the shia it is ok.
The Catholics worship the saints and Mary, to other Christians it is idolatry but to the Catholics, they are merely reverencing the saints. So one man's idol worship is another man's righteous deed.
I don't even believe any ayah of Quran was abrogated. As reported above, if Uthman(ra) said he would not shift anything ayah from their place it means they are valid till Qiyamah. Which means, abrogation or cancellation of ayah is taking about previous Divine Laws (Tawrat and Injil) for examples.
Some ayah in the quran were cancelled (sahih bukhari 4:52:69 and sahih bukhari 3:31:170). These ayah were 'revealed' but was later cancelled hence cannot be found in the quran.
The abrogated and the new ayah are all still in the quran. Abrogated verse: revealed in mecca (surah al-baqara 2:256) and 'new' verse: revealed in medina (quran 9:28-30). Surah 9 is the last surah in the quran which strengthened or abrogated former surah.
najib632: I am a Borgu from Kaima, Kwara state the name for the one true diety in my language is "Luda" and most of the time when our scholars are preaching they use the word, we swear by it, ask for a favour with and many more. If there was anything wrong with the word Islamic scholars would have preached against it already. We used to be a people that worshipped fire in the ancient times before Islam and also we had other lesser dieties like the god of calabash(hahaha! Crazy right), I never knew we even had other lesser dieties because of how profound Islam is amongst my people even though I heard there are still some that are pagans, but they're a different dialect(sister tribe). So your aim of saying it's impossible for a single Diety is demeaning, Ifa in the language of the Yoruba's can be considered as the word Allah, if they consider the word to represent the supreme God and the Islamic scholars from their tribe deem it fit, due to attributes the people consider their Supreme diety to have and also from the theological perspective of their culture they can replace the word Allah with Ifa, Just like my tribe does. The greek mythology of Zeus as their Supreme God is a very degrading and weak portrayal and hence Zeus cannot to be used as the word to replace Allah in their language, Just like how the Hausas discarded the word representing their supreme diety due to it's weakness. A tribe can also do that out of preference, Indian scholars use the word Allah even though they have their own word for it[It's not that blue god you see, some researchers have identified it to be the devil himself due to the symbolism of the serpent, and the occultic karbala Jews (may Allah's curse be upon them) use it.] You should do more research on occults before concluding your atheism and you will definitely see proof of the devil's handiwork against you. I will tell you once again watch the series titled the arrivals, download it from the internet from torrent sites, or YouTube(but some of the videos are deleted because of the evidence they contain)
Allah knows best.
You said so much without making yourselve clear enough.
