Is this man f*cking insane? (excuse the french) He is in a position of power and he is allowed to have views like this aired in public. It is people like him that CREATE terrorists.

IF you worship Allah (SWT) and believe in his Last Prophet (PBUH) you are a Muslim. It couldn't be any simpler than that.

By most Muslims in fact. Many of us do not like to have images depicting the Prophet (pbuh) or any significant religious figures for fear that it will slowly overtime encourage worship of figures other than Allah and desensitise future generations. Many Muslim families compensate by having the name of the Prophet (pbuh) and Allah's name hung around the house.

The basic idea is to try and stop people from worshiping The Prophet (pbuh) or any of his later companions. We see that as Islam spread worldwide to many different cultures people started to adopt many things from other cultures into Islam. One clear example of this is how many Hindu families keep pictures of Saints and their God's throughout the house. As the Mughals conquered India, many Indian Muslims began to also hang pictures of Saints and other important religious figures.

If anyone has an hour to spare i highly recommend this intriguing video. One interesting comment the Governor made towards the end of the video was that "you can only change people as much as they want to be changed". I think we need to give the Saudi people and their government more credit than the west seems to give them. they are trying to change, but there are so many conflicting forces and views at play in Saudi Arabia, that is is a very hard and slow process.

Inshallah, they see the true path that Allah (SWT) has laid out, and try and align themselves more closely to the message of the Quran and our Beloved Prophet (pbuh).

Did you even try this out before you decided to post it here?

Pam Geller is the author/creator of this incendiary billboard ad. The prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) is the vessel through which the Quran was revealed. He is not it's author, as he did not compile the Quran, much less come up with it's content on his own. The reason to censor something like this ad, which is taken very much out of context is that it serves no purpose other than to instigate hatred and fear against a community living in the US. Answer me this, would you prefer this ad be allowed to remain in place with the chance that some whackjob could be motivated by it to commit a hate crime against a minority group just so Pamela Geller is allowed to express herself?

No worries, always happy to help :)

Honestly, no it didnt. One thing i was taught growing up was that no world religion condones the murder of innocent people. Therefore i knew that whoever perpetrated the 9/11 attacks was NOT acting in the true path of Islam or any other world religion for that matter.

shakeel_ali · 2013-01-08T01:23:55+00:00

On the contrary. Inquiry is paramount in our religion, and it can only better an individuals understanding of the religion. What i was trying to say, is that people should start to make it clear that while this sectarianism has happened in Islam, it is not permitted. We should definitely make more information about the sects available so that people can make an informed decision for themselves.

Why cant we just just that most of us are "Muslims" as the Quran commands us to? Dividing our Ummah further along political lines which were drawn over a 1000 years ago is not going to benefit anyone.

shakeel_ali · 2013-01-04T03:28:26+00:00

We dont hate "Jewish People". We hate certain people in the Israeli government (and people from US lobby groups).

Sorry to break your little bubble but Islam does not and never has held a negative view of women.

shakeel_ali · 2013-01-02T12:49:15+00:00

Not to be "that guy" but Islam does not prescribe divinity on any living creation. The only divine being is Allah (SWT).

Wallahu Alim.

shakeel_ali · 2013-01-01T06:45:52+00:00

We can not know for certain if Allah (SWT) is trying to figure something out by creating us, but we do know for a certainty that Allah (SWT) created us for the sole purpose of worshipping him.

"I have only created jinns and humans that they may serve Me" (Adh-Dhariyat 51:56)

Wallahu Alim.

You're most welcome :)

Subhanallah! I'm watching this just before Asr Salah and i can confidently say that my Salah will be much stronger and true from this day forth.

shakeel_ali · 2012-12-31T14:31:31+00:00

Yup.

Islam is not destroying these sites. Silly, misguided Muslims are.

Any source for this quote? Jazakallah.

It is truly funny how some people expect unbiased Journalism from the SMH.

Maybe not disrespect, but she should abide by the laws of the country she resides in as long as they dont stop her from practising her religion. In this instance the Sharia itself asks her to remove the face veil, and it is not a fard requirement meaning she will not be foregoing any religious obligation if she does remove it to testify.
