Religion & Belief (Alor Pothay) > Ramadan and Fasting
The Qur'an is the miracle of all miracles
shibli:
I urge everyone not to look at the followers, rather let's go back to the scriptures. Jesus(pbuh) never claimed divinity, rather he said, "I cast out devil with the spirit of GOD", "My father is greater than I" but most followers believe in trinity; father, son n holy spirit. Buddah never said "make a statue of me or worship me but followers are doing as such. According to Bedha, there is no image of God, no protima but followers are doing the opposite. So plz don't look at the followers, rather let's go back to the scriptures
Religion is undoubtedly necessary for human beings. Our life is a test for the hereafter. Earlier homosexuality was prohibited in many countries. Today it is allowed in many developed countries like in the UK. Pornography is also allowed in many countries nowadays. My question is where we shall draw the line or put the benchmark. That's why we need to follow the guidelines set by the Almighty. The Qur'an, the last n final testament from God has maintained the same form ever since it was revealed. "No other book in the earth keeps the original pure form as The Qur'an." said by the orientalist, famous historian and harsh critic of Islam, William Moore. Before the Second world War in the museum of Germany, hundreds of different copies of Qur'an of different times were collected to verify their verses. All the words of all copies were found word for word exact n accurate. No other book in the earth is as recited n memorized as the Qur'an. Millions of people have been memorizing it ever since it was revealed. At least every year millions of people across the world have been verifying it in the TARABEEH. The Qur'an is not a book of science, rather it's a book of signs; in fact it is the miracle of all miracles.
However, my question is why should we be ethical? For the sake of humanity? Who introduced the term humanity or humanism? Why should we be humane? For our own satisfaction!! Degeneration will occur if there is no belief in God. Ethics without religious values are useless. We talked about religious discriminant values. It is because people of different religions hardly read and follow their scriptures. Also, politicians of the world for their own personal gain and media supported by them divide people and create mischief on this earth. History also says that the so-called secularism n communism could not bring peace n prosperity to certain countries n nations.
The glorious Qur'an has got the solutions to the problems of humanity. Let's study more and more, shouldn't we?
shibli:
No religion encourages terrorist acts or violence. The word ‘Islam‘ itself means ‘Peace, obtained by submitting yourself to the Almighty’. Anyone, be it Muslim or non-Muslim, who kills an innocent Muslim or a non-Muslim, kills the entire humanity. However, Islam goes a step further to say that if one saves innocent lives, the whole of humanity is saved. Injustice is the root cause of terrorism.
Palestinians are called terrorists just because they are fighting to get their land back. Take examples of LTTE (in Sri Lanka), IRA (in UK), Lord’s Salvation Army, which trains the young children to conduct terrorist attacks, and many other non-Muslim terrorist outfits; the lives claimed by these outfits are more than the ones by the Muslim terrorists.
Naxalites/Maoists across India, and Nepal and the LTTE in Sri Lanka were non-Muslim terror organisations, which had developed pan regional bases beyond national boundaries. Other such non-Muslim terror outfits included the United Liberation Front of Asam, National Democratic Front of Bodoland and All Tripura Tiger Force in the Northeast.
The Japanese Red Army, Lord’s Salvation Army and the ETA in Spain were also non-Islamic in character and composition.
“So nothing is more removed from truth as to suggest that Muslims have monopolized terrorism, â€. The Irish Republican Army, which was considered to be terrorist group, has a history of 100 years of violence against the British, but the British government doesn’t seem to be scared about them as they are about radical Islamic groups.
Besides, Even a single killing by a Muslim is condemned by Islam, whatsoever the reasons.
On the Media, Judiciary and Politicians
It is the plot of the Western media to destroy Muslims.
Media controlled by the political authorities is biased and does not portray the truth or reality. Islam does not justify using wrong means to reach the right goals. People should not take the law in their hands
Terrorism is a monopoly of politicians. People, regardless of their religion, wish to live harmonious lives, but politicians feed the feeling of hatred amongst them.
shibli:
My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world's most influential persons may surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but he was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular levels. _Michael H. Hart, famous historian (100 influencial men in history of the world). He placed Newton in 2nd place, and Jesus (PBUH) in 3rd place and justified his reasons.
"I would like to kill George W. Bush.†Betty held him responsible for mass killing in the Middle East, in which thousands of children were killed.--Betty Williams, Nobel Peace Prize (1976) winner
"Bush n Blair are criminals, n they are responsible for mass murder in the world, for the war, and for the occupation, through their support for Israel, and through their support for a globalised capitalist economic system, which is the biggest ...killer the world has ever known. It has killed far more people than Adolf Hitler"_George Galloway(former British MP)Read More
shibli:
There is "little connection between suicide terrorism and Islamic fundamentalism, or any one of the world’s religions... . Rather, what nearly all suicide terrorist attacks have in common is a specific secular and strategic goal: to compel modern democracies to withdraw military forces from territory that the terrorists consider to be their homeland" (p. 4).Dying to win, Dr. Robert pape, PhD, an American writer
shibli:
The Nazis called their opponents terrorists; Gandhi and his Indian Independence Movement were labeled terrorists by the British, those who fought for equality in South Africa were also called terrorists.
