assalamu aleikum all
I been in this web site since February every single day
Every time I read the threads now,all I see is mostly debates on Christianity and how wrong it is ,how wrong are the other people and governments >I see we discussing all issues and pointing ON OTHERS ,its only my opinion,
but when I see the thread posted with hadith or Quran,the thread stays may be for half hour ,then its forgotten...
Why we focusing and backbitting christianity ,sorry,instead of discussing hadiths or the way of our Beloved Prophet,or The Glorious Quran.
Instead of spreading hate to America or Christianity.
I appologize,I don't mean to offend anybody,its just a reminder to all of us,
to remember that Islam is religion of Peace....
waaleikum salam
walaikum as salam wa rahmatullahi wabrakatuhu sister
Jazakumullah khair for the reminder but I think none of us have forgotten that Islam is a religion of Peace. But when we talk about christianity or inhuman policies of the western governments, that does not mean we are backbiting christianity or America. We are speaking the truth and presenting facts. Its correct we should not blame others.
But how many of us are blaming ourselves. We have to check ourselves first. We cannot generalise the whole matter saying that Muslims should stop discussing about world politics or whatever wrong and fitnah is going on, we should not mind at all. No !!
Also please do not think that a thread about Quran or hadeeths are forgotten soon. We dont have the right to judge what others are thinking, first we should apply these to our Muslim brothers and sisters. We should not think that if a brother did something wrong he did it intentionally. We should tell him that its wrong and try to rectify it. Similarly we should not think that if a brother has done a good thing, he is trying to show off to others. Subhan Allah we are nobody to judge people's intentions.
Then we need to apply these notions on our views towards the kuffars. We cannot just simply say what we want. We cannot just simply do what we want. We are bounded by laws and orders of Allah SUbhanahu Wa Taala so that we can achieve peace, happiness and success in this dunya as well as in the Akhirah. Thats why this temporary world is like a prisoner for believers with strong Eeman. But the Eternal Akhirah will be a prisoner for the disbelievers.
We cannot just simply keep quite for whatever is going wrong around us. Christianity is wrong. Judaism is wrong. Hinduism is wrong. The followers of these religions corrupted their whole system are bringing their own style.
Modern fake gurus.
But we dont hate
all the followers of christianity or judaism or hinduism or any other religion. There are some who are full of hatred for Islam and Muslims. There are some who like our religion. We have to be mindful in dealing with different kinds of people. Allah SUbhanahu Wa Taala has given them time till death. If they accept Islam before death, well and good for them. If not they have to pay the price for it.
America and its western allies are killing innocent brothers and sisters in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Somalia and where not. They are funding Ethipian groups to go and spread terror in Somalia. This does not mean all americans or westerners agree to US or UK govts policies. Putin's puppets are killing and torturing innocent Chechenians and people in Caucasus region.
I dont think anybody would keep quite over all these barbaric atrocities?
We have to set up our priorities and look at ourselves individually at first and then collectively. We make ourselves good Muslims, only then we can help our brothers and sisters across the globe. But our Eeman is weak, then even if we want to do or work for Islam, we cannot achieve success in it.
As sister jabba said, this is a forum where we can express our minds. If we say something incorrect, our brothers and sisters tell us its wrong. I have been told so many times like this, and I feel happy that we are indeed helping our brothers and sisters for the sake of Allah SUbhanahu wa Taala. We have to remember that nobody is perfect.
If our threads are not approriate, Moderators delete them. Thats how we help each other to learn and grow. I have myself learnt so much from my elderly brothers and sisters out here. I feel so happy at that.
Jazakumullah khair to all brothers and sisters out here.
I ask forgiveness if have said something wrong or spoken too much. May Allah help us , guide us to be real believers and guide us from the fitnah of this world.
There is a 4 part series of Stories from the hadeeth by sheikh Anwar al awlaki. Very good talks on real life affairs. I recommend my brothers and sisters to listen to it.
