This is obviously a calumny written by Islam haters. If you have read the two articles referred to at the end of this blog you will know that such conduct is forbidden by the Qur'an: "There is no compulsion in religion".<br /><br />Do try to free yourself from the grip of false propaganda spread by West's malicious "orientalists". You will then discover the beauty of Islam and the greatness of the Complete Human Being, Messenger Muhammad.<br /><br />You mention the "Commandments" from The Old Testament but do not mention its horrors that I have covered in another blog. All good things in the Old Testament are to be found in the Qur'an but none of the indecent ones.<br /><br />DD died a long time ago. It is time to re-assess his life with an open mind and see him as he really was. Why is it that what is obvious to me in the The Old Testament is not noticed by its devotees?

Al-Quran is a Book ...Thanks for your comment Anne.<br /><br />Al-Quran is a Book of Guidance. Laws are made by human beings. What you call "Sharia Law" is, in theory, a flexible and fluid body of laws which harmonises Divine Guidance with temporal changes taking place over the centuries. The Quran denounces priesthood but the tragedy is that a powerful clergy, supported by the ruling class, has arrogated to itself the right to decide what the laws in an Islamic state should be. Let me give you an example.<br /><br />According to the Quran, marriage is a contract between a man and a woman, each of whom is physically and mentally mature, and freely enters into that contract of his/her own will. But the "laws" sanctioned by the clergy permit pre-teen children to be married off! The question you should be asking is: does the so-called shariah law comply with the Quranic Guidance or not? You would be surprised to learn a lot of them do not.<br /><br />Re. Jihad. It means ceaseless effort in pursuit of Truth and Justice, and against oppression. It can mean sacrificing one's time, money, possessions and ultimately, if need be, laying down one's life. Quran also allows you to take up arms in self-defence if attacked. <br /><br />I can reel off a long list of names of "Muslims" who are violent, though probably not as much as Obama and Bush. What has that got to do with Islam? Muhammad, the Slave and Messenger of God, died 1300 years ago. Did the women you mention meet him in their dreams? He was a Complete human being, the living Quran: Loving, Kind, Fearless, Wise, Loved by all who knew him. Indeed, he is the example that I and all sincere Muslims humbly strive to follow.Sakib Ahmadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09684519231128535788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3694316236173314997.post-75769394032424533872017-02-24T22:41:12.332+00:002017-02-24T22:41:12.332+00:00I really want to understand this, so as not to wro...I really want to understand this, so as not to wrongly judge Islam. I don't understand where Sharia Law and Jihad relate to the Quran. Also, there are two American ex-Muslim women who swear that Islam is violent, particularly against women, and they say Muhammed was extremely violent and that he is the example of the teachings. Sort of like Jesus, in that, if you're actually following Jesus' example, you're a good Christian. If you want the urls for those women, I will provide them to you. <br /><br />PeaceAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03803620232248085464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3694316236173314997.post-8284486404787086952017-02-11T16:01:45.515+00:002017-02-11T16:01:45.515+00:00I understand and agree with your blog post as it i...I understand and agree with your blog post as it is very well written . I may not be as clear to post my views , but I will still try . <br />Tawheed is the first defined characteristic of Islam . Which means singularity of God . Understood by its numerical adjective wahid - one . <br />Without Tawheed no person is permitted to enter Islam . However the main gist of this conversation revolves around how we can save us , our generation and future generations from attempting this shirk . Personally , with a solid base of Islamic background from the east , I can identify the fine line of shirk .<br />On the other hand , demographics who are 'Muslims' just for the sake on their passport and do not have a strong bond with their religion , loose track and perform shirk . As far as my knowledge and observation , the exposure to not only Christianity and their rituals in the west but a buffet of religion influence is ready to attack young generation minds . (In the US only there are 313+ religion ). Any strong influence can play with anyone religious values (especially school kids ) , specially when you are living in a multi-diverse society . Like mentioned in the last line of the post , the abundance of Islamic education should come from ignorant parents and Inactive Muslim community centers . These are the places Where kids are taught that there is one God Allah and have a strong knowledge about the basics principles of Islam that no one can influence , pressure or manipulate their heart & soul (keeping our guards up ) . <br />Yet again , you will also see two kind of Muslims ; either too strong on religion or none at all . We don't want to be in any of these categories. But then again the basic problem is not only to prevent kids but also to make adults understand to create that relationship with Allah.<br />Ashfaq Ahmed (Urdu Writer ) says that it is important to keep a pocket knife (keep our guards up ) and be alert for defense so no one can manipulate or influence us . He later tells us a a story (fiction) relating to this context : <br />Once there was a Mulla (Peer) with many followers . One day he took his followers to a jungle , where he found a river . By the end of the river he saw a beautiful Jewish girl . Mulla (peer) fell in love and he told his followers he'll marry that girl . Later he went upto the Jewish girl parents with the proposal but her parents said they will only allow the marriage if he becomes Jewish . He agreed to their offer and married that girl . His followers cried but he did what he had to .After marriage Mulla (peer) was asked to do a lot of work which was not acceptable but he continued to do so for the sake of his marriage . His followers on the other hand were crying over for their loss . (Story continues) <br />https://youtu.be/wO9vlkobVXI<br /><br />The point is make your base so strong that no one can intervene between Allah and the person . If Muslim adults believe and hold that rope , kids will have more faithful understanding of Islam .<br /><br />I hope my comment wasn't offensive to the admin & readers . <br /><br />May Allah grant you knowledge & medium to pass it on .

Your references to Auliaye Karaam...@Jahan e Ghayer<br /><br />Your references to Auliaye Karaam reminded me of Mumtaz Mufti. Are you familiar with his writings? You would love his descriptions of the influence of Auliya ("saints") on the spread of Islam in India. Offhand, I can recall two of his books where this subject is mentioned at some length: Hind Yatra (ہند یاترا ) and Talaash (تلاش ). Do read them if you haven't already.<br /><br />You appear to be giving the impression that these Auliya can be equated to priests. They were men of God, far removed from organised religion. They were equally accessible to Muslims and non-Muslims alike whereas priests/mullahs/clergy only serve a function within an organised religion. Auliya were special people who transcended the narrow confines of organised religion obsessed with sectarian differences.<br /><br />Our knowledge comes in various ways. Some acquire it through hearing, others through reading, still others through harsh experiences in life. In all cases, contact with wise, knowledgeable people is of immense benefit. This is particularly important for those with limited literacy who tend to fall into the clutches of fake clergy. However we receive our knowledge, we retain the primary responsibility to ponder on that knowledge and be accountable to our Maker for our actions.Sakib Ahmadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09684519231128535788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3694316236173314997.post-69199417997975235322016-11-24T02:12:28.485+00:002016-11-24T02:12:28.485+00:00Good talk. I agree. I'd like to add my two bit...Good talk. I agree. I'd like to add my two bits as well.<br /><br /><i>Quote: The Qur'an, refers to Islam as Deen, a system to be followed in life, which does not require the services of priests. The existence of a Muslim clergy today is not supported by the Qur'an, which does not recognise an intermediary between God and human beings.</i><br /><br />I myself was of the same view until a few months ago. Then after a series of events I realized something very crucial.<br /><br />Not all of the people have good opportunities to get an education, learn Quran, learn Islam, learn history and value of Islam etc.. Those opportunities are hindered by various deficits such as financial, intellectual, geographical, institutional and so on.. This exact scenario was what had happened here in South East Asia. That's why Allah did a marvelous thing. He sent his greatest of the greatest Sufiya (Hazrat Nizam R.A., Hazrat Datta R.A., Hazrat Chishti R.A., etc.. tens of them..) from all over the continent to here, in sub-continent of India. Now those Sufiya were firm and strong believers of the Islam and Quran; lead their lives according to the true religion. But there was something more..<br /><br />They appealed to the emotional, psychological, intellectual senses of the backward/illiterate people of sub-continent of India. They; with the strength of their character, moral and worthiness, impressed upon the people the need of having a true religion to lead their lives.<br /><br />They presented a living model of a perfect, harmonious life, lead by Quran and Sunnah, and this model was much more human-friendly and understandable to them then learning Arabic and then reading Quran, which again, most people didn't have money, IQ or passion to do that. Even if they learned Arabic, would they even have a conviction to follow the teachings of Islam? I don't think so, because they didn't see a real example of what Quran and Islam achieve, until they met those Ouliyaa of Allah!<br /><br />Moreover the great conquerors, such as M. bin Qasim, Mehmod Ghaznavi, they came and liberated this continent from the clutches of imperialist and unjust rulers, but then? They returned back to their own regions. How did people embraced Islam then?<br /><br />If you read the history, you'll come to the realization that, indeed, it was the mechanism, the methodology of Sufiya-Allah, the spiritual Scholars of Islam, who lead people to the true religion by being a living role model! <br />--<br />Now what the followers did to those Sufia after their deaths is a whole different story..<br /><br />Neither I say that the self-pursuit of understanding of Quran / Islam can be substituted with anything else. But we have to understand, everyone does not have the same opportunities as you and I!

The Pa...More pithy comments by Paul Craig Roberts:<br /><br />The Paris attack is playing out as I expected. The French government is attacking French civil liberty with legislation similar to the US PATRIOT Act.<br /><br />Readers in France have informed me that 84% of the French people, according to a poll, are content to be spied upon as long as it keeps them safe. This means that only 16% of the French nation is not brain dead.<br /><br />Another reader informs me that a TV news station read a letter left behind by one of the alleged ISIL bombers, a letter written in perfect English. Really! I mean, Really! Those with their secret agendas know how stupid the Western peoples are, collectively a hopeless basket case.<br /><br />French and American politicians are demanding that NATO Article 5 be used to put NATO boots on the ground in Syria. This is important not in order to fight ISIL, which the Russians are successfully doing, but to overthrow Assad under the pretext of fighting ISIL, a crazy policy that could bring conflict with Russia.<br /><br />To insure that no one is informed of the true facts by the English language Russian media, such as RT and Sputnik, the US Senate arranged hearings on foreign propaganda. Kenneth Weinstein, a member of the US Broadcasting Board of Governors, that is, the censors, told the senators that RT, Sputnik, and a variety of other truthful news sources are “well-funded state propaganda outlets.” In other words, only believe what you read in Washington-controlled propaganda outlets such as the New York Times, Washington Post, Fox News, CNN, BBC, NPR, and so forth.<br /><br />The aftermath of the Paris attack is like the aftermath of the so-called Boston Marathon Bombing. Fifty heavily armed police converged on two people and murdered them. The murdered female is described even by RT as a “female suicide bomber.” If the murdered woman is a suicide bomber, how is she still alive to be murdered by police? Not even the “Russian propaganda outlet” RT asks why 50 heavily armed police were unable to capture two people alive and had to kill them!<br /><br />A number of readers have sent to me information that indicates that the Paris attack was reported on both Wikipedia and Twitter the day before it occurred. http://bosniapress.info/index.php/news-in-english-articles/2459-paris-attack-reported-on-<br /> I do not know what to make of this. I do remember that the BBC reported the collapse of WTC building 7 prior to its collapse. The BBC reporter is actually standing in front of the still standing WTC 7 as she makes the report of its collapse. In other words, orchestration mistakes occur. But hardly any of the brainwashed pubic notices.<br />Sakib Ahmadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09684519231128535788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3694316236173314997.post-39375139093876121702015-11-24T12:00:59.106+00:002015-11-24T12:00:59.106+00:00.... continued from previous comment:
It is inter....... continued from previous comment:<br /><br />It is interesting that terrorists attacks attributed to Muslims only fall upon ordinary people, not upon the political elites who oppress the Muslims. In past years on several occasions I have remarked in my columns on the total vulnerability of the neoconservatives to assassination. Yet there has been not a single attack by terrortists on a neocon life, and the neocons are the source of the violence that Washington has unleashed on the Muslim world. The neocons walk around without threat free as birds.<br /><br />How believeable is it that Muslim terrorists take their ire out on innocents when the President of France himself, who has sent military forces to murder Muslims, was sitting in the attacked stadium and could easily have been eliminated by a suicide bomber?<br /><br />Now let us turn to questions of identification of the alleged “Paris terrorists.” Is it realistic to suppose that the millions of refugees from Washington and its European vassals’ wars in the Middle East have passports? Were these millions of refugees expecting to be driven by White Civilization’s Bombs out of their countries and thus had prepared themselves with passports in order to flee?<br /><br />Did they write on their passport applications that they were going to be visiting Europe?<br /><br />Was the beleaguered country, their homeland, under full military assault, able to process all these millions of passports?<br /><br />What sort of dumbshit Western media goes along with the passport story — a media well paid to lie for Washington’s hegemony and crimes?<br /><br />One final question for skeptics. Where are the photographs of the terrorists during their terrorizing? Surrounding the scenes of violence there were not only abundant security cameras, but also hundreds, even thousands, of people with cell phones that have cameras. With all of these photos, how is it possible that the authorities do not know if some terrorists escaped, and if so, who they are and what they look like? Why are the authorities relying on fake passports for photos of the terrorists?<br /><br />Terrorism has been unleashed in the Western World, and it is the terrorism of Western governments against Western peoples.Sakib Ahmadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09684519231128535788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3694316236173314997.post-89904265400856122462015-11-24T11:59:35.704+00:002015-11-24T11:59:35.704+00:00More Paris Puzzles — Paul Craig Roberts
November 1...More Paris Puzzles — Paul Craig Roberts<br />November 17, 2015 | Categories: Articles & Columns | Tags: | Print This Article Print This Article<br /><br />Some people who are not inclined to believe the official story of the Paris attack are troubled by the question why Muslim suicide bombers would blow themselves up for a false flag attack. The answer to this question is very simple. But first we should dispose of the question whether suicide bombers did blow themselves up. Is this something that we know, or is it part of the story that we are told? For example, we were told that during 9/11 passengers in hijacked airliners used their cell phones to call relatives, but experts have testified that the technology of the time did not permit cell phone calls from airliners at those altitudes.<br /><br />To dispose of the question whether we have or do not have any real evidence that suicide bombers blew themselves up, I will assume that they did.<br /><br />So we have suicide bombers blowing themselves up.<br /><br />Now turn to the question that troubles some doubters: Why would suicide bombers blow themselves up for the sake of a false flag attack?<br /><br />As I said, the answer is simple: Why assume that the suicide bombers knew who was organizing the attack? There seems to be abundant evidence that ISIL is a US creation, one that is still dependent on US active or passive support—thus the conflict between Putin and Washington over attacking ISIL. ISIL seems to be what Washington used to overthrow the government in Libya and afterward was sent by Washington to Syria to overthrow Assad. Obviously, Washington has ISIL infiltrated. Washington has long proven is ability to use Islamic extremists. As Washington used them in Afghanistan against the Soviets and in Libya and Syria against independent governments, Washington used them in Paris. By my last count, the FBI on 150 occasions has successfully deceived people into participating into FBI orchestrated “terror plots.”<br /><br />Now let us move to some bigger questions. Why do terrorists attack ordinary innocent people who have neither awareness of “their” government’s actions or control over them? The victims of 9/11 were not the neocons and members of the Washington establishment, whose policies in the Middle East justified attacks on their persons. Ditto for the Boston Marathon Bombing, and ditto for the Paris attacks. Innocents were the victims, not those who have taken Muslim lives.<br /><br />Historically, terror attacks are not on the innocent but on the rulers and those who are guilty. For example, it was the Archduke of Austria/Hungary who was assassinated by the Serbian terrorist, not ordinary people blown up or shot down in a street cafe.<br /><br />(continued.....)Sakib Ahmadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09684519231128535788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3694316236173314997.post-91176560795490345382015-11-16T02:39:25.598+00:002015-11-16T02:39:25.598+00:00“We Were Prepared”: Counter-Terrorism Emergency Ex...“We Were Prepared”: Counter-Terrorism Emergency Exercise on “Multi-Site Attacks” Took Place On Same Day As Paris Terrorist Attacks<br /><br />By Sean Adl-Tabatabai<br />Global Research, November 15, 2015<br />Your News Wire 15 November 2015<br /><br />Patrick Pelloux revealed on national radio on Saturday that a “multi-site” emergency exercise was held in Paris on the same day as the Paris attacks on November 13.<br /><br />[This exercise pertains to an emergency scenario of a terrorist attack.

Fr...EXTRACTED FROM A REPORT BY PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS:<br /><br />French Security Left Blind During November 13 Paris Terror Attacks<br /><br />By Dr. Paul Craig Roberts<br />Paul Craig Roberts 16 November 2015<br /><br />I have received a report from European security that there was a massive cyber attack on French systems 48 hours prior to and during the Paris attacks.<br /><br />Amongst other things, the attack took down the French mobile data network and blinded police surveillance. The attack was not a straightforward DDOS attack but a sophisticated attack that targeted a weakness in infrastructure hardware.<br /><br />Such an attack is beyond the capability of most organizations and requires capability that is unlikely to be in ISIL’s arsenal. An attack on this scale is difficult to pull off without authorities getting wind of it. The coordination required suggests state involvement.<br /><br />It is common for people with no experience in government to believe that false flag attacks are not possible, because they think the entire government would have to be involved and not everyone would go along with it. Someone would talk. However, if the report I have received is correct, hardly anyone has to be involved, and security forces are simply disabled.<br /><br />Remember the reports that during 9/11, a simulation of the actual events that were occuring was being conducted, thus confusing responsible parties about the reality.<br /><br />I am unable to reveal any further information.<br /><br />If security experts find the information credible, they should direct their inquiries to the French authorities.<br /><br />Copyright © Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, Paul Craig Roberts, 2015<br />Sakib Ahmadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09684519231128535788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3694316236173314997.post-19118192309900781262015-09-14T23:35:25.703+01:002015-09-14T23:35:25.703+01:00Dear okmich,

My advice to you is never to use a translation if you do not know the name of the translator. It is almost certainly misleading and there is a hidden agenda behind it. <br /><br />You did NOT quote any verse of the Quran, you simply referred to some verses and dropped dark hints about them. I quoted a couple of verses to point out how wrong you were. Be honest please.<br /><br />In relation to OT "porn" you keep talking about "context" but do not explain what that context is. For example, explain the "context" of this mass murder of male children and older women that Moses ordered:<br /><br />"Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.<br />But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves."<br /><br />I do think the Bible is incapable of defending itself. It is the priest class that has indoctrinated people to such an extent that they become incapable of protesting against the porn and violence to be found in the pages of the Bible.<br /><br /><br />Sakib Ahmadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09684519231128535788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3694316236173314997.post-84722879878901812272015-09-14T22:36:13.838+01:002015-09-14T22:36:13.838+01:00I consider this a quick display of defense for the...I consider this a quick display of defense for the Koran.<br />I have different site that all say the same thing for the Koran but you fault their translation.... so Boko Haram is using a faulty translation too?<br /><br />You openly without much context application fault and condemn the OT but I call out just a few verses of the Koran and you are all so defensive? <br /><br />Doesn't that show the bias I always talked about?<br /><br />Don't defend the Koran just as I don't defend the bible... let them defend themselves.okmichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12484964024951173752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3694316236173314997.post-45830742117053336932015-09-14T20:47:47.003+01:002015-09-14T20:47:47.003+01:00Hi okmich.
Your comments on the Quran are odd. Yo...Hi okmich.<br /><br />Your comments on the Quran are odd. You must have read a parody of the Quran, a fraudulent translation by the Jew Dawood, perhaps? Please always quote from an authentic translation. For example, the ones mentioned in the following blog, which also gives you a link to an authentic online Quranic translation. Please check your (mis)understanding of Quranic verses against this online version.<br /><br />http://sakibahmad.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/translations-of-quran.html<br /><br />You appear to object to some passages of the Quran but you have not quoted the text. Let me enlighten you:<br /><br />(2:190) Fight in the cause of Allah those who wage war against you, but do not commit aggression. Behold, Allah loves not aggressors.<br /><br />What is your objection? This verse alone shows that ISIS/Al-Qaeda/Boko Haram/Al Shabab are anti-Quranic monsters. In fact, they are financed, trained and armed by CIA, whose prized assets they are.<br /><br />(2:191) (but if they keep on fighting) Subdue them wherever you find them. And drive them out from where they have driven you out. For, oppression, cruelty and persecution are even more destructive than the killing in battle. ......<br /><br />That's plain common sense. I do not know what you are objecting to. Similar comments apply to the other passages you mention. Please use an authentic translation used by Muslims, not a fraudulent one put together by Islam-hating Jews and Christians.<br /><br />Popular Islam, that is, the "religion" based on sources outside the Quran, has been influenced by Zoroastrianism, Judaism and Christianity through the trickery of spreading false stories about Messenger Muhammad long after he had died. These stories were collected by men who came from the erstwhile Persian empire and published them some 250-300 years after the death of Allah's Messenger in 'Hadith' collections. These books are the main source of popular Islam. Unless these books are cleaned up, true Islam will remain buried in the Quran, the Word of God which cannot be changed.<br /><br />I have to say you show little understanding of what Islam is. Please read the following blog, which contains links to two further blogs in the penultimate paragraph. These three pieces will give you a good idea of what Islam really is.<br /><br />http://sakibahmad.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/islam-misrepresented-and-misunderstood.html<br /><br />I am not sure what you mean by "misplacing context". Porn is porn in any context. It is particularly revolting when it shows up in Hadith books or in Jewish/Christian scriptures. The licentiousness and incestuous conduct of Old Testament prophets stands in stark contrast with the nobility of Messengers in the Quran. In my opinion, the "horrors" of the Old Testament are so gross and repellant that they must be thrown out of the books as unsuitable material.<br />Sakib Ahmadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09684519231128535788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3694316236173314997.post-55512764714036944382015-09-14T01:52:31.020+01:002015-09-14T01:52:31.020+01:00Hello Sakib,
Thanks for the reply.
I will point o...Hello Sakib,<br /><br />Thanks for the reply.<br />I will point out two broad points:<br /><br />1. You make the mistake of misplacing context. If the bible or some historical book tells you what Lot did with his daughters, that does not translate to a command or pattern to follow. Yes, many people could naively do such, but it calls for interpretation and teachings. The bible must be seen in its contextual, allegorical, historical or even Spiritual views before you judge that passage. Most of the passage you cited were simply out of context and that is what I termed Ignorance.<br /><br />2. What would you say about the Koran in chapter 2:191, 8:12, 9:14 .... as many other verses that urges Muslims to kill the infidels. Have you never read them? The literal interpretation of these passages are the biggest influence of today's terror groups like Boko Haram, Al Shabaab and Al Qaeda. They get their instruction from the Koran... but to my surprise you act like they never existed.<br /><br />Sincerely, Judaism is the biggest influence of Islam and Christianity and Islam inherited a lot of its death sentences from it. The OT is just a portion of Judaism and therefore citing the horrors of the Old testament without looking inwards in Islam is plain bias.<br /><br />Lastly, I don't agree that these text should be removed from any of the books. We don't throw history out of the windows because it doesn't suit today's philosopy. Instead, we must teach one another from scripture as to the truth. My reading the Koran strengthened my faith in the bible and all these happened by simply reading the book and drawing truth objectively come them.<br /><br />I find many Muslims wanting because they read more teaching manuals than the Koran itself. Some of doctors of the hadith and its many interpretations but have read through the Koran even once.<br /><br />Thanksokmichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12484964024951173752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3694316236173314997.post-89787267356694511932015-09-13T22:51:10.863+01:002015-09-13T22:51:10.863+01:00Hello okmich.
I am afraid I do not follow what yo...Hello okmich.<br /><br />I am afraid I do not follow what you are getting at. The quotes I have given come straight out of the Bible. Do correct me if I have made a mistake.<br /><br />These "horrors" are not to be found in the Quran though you seem to be implying otherwise. Can you provide examples, please? I hope you will avoid using a false translation of the Quran, put together by hate-filled Jews and Christians.<br /><br />A lot of Muslims have been misled by abominable stories spread by Jews/Christians/Zoroastrians/lecherous Muslim kings which defy Quranic injunctions and purport to come from the man who brought the Quran! These stories were collected some 250-300 years after the death of Messenger Muhammad. Among them you will find shameful stories of the sort found in the Old Testament of the Bible.<br /><br />I do think that both the Christians and the Muslims ought to knock all such stories out of their religious texts. They are totally unsuitable for family reading and appeal only to morally corrupt people.Sakib Ahmadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09684519231128535788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3694316236173314997.post-39613639008962416952015-09-13T16:43:38.580+01:002015-09-13T16:43:38.580+01:00First, I am appalled by your ignorant knowledge or...First, I am appalled by your ignorant knowledge or rather confident mis-appropriation of biblical text.<br />First of all, I am a Christian who in turn have read texts of the Koran (lots of them). So when I see you bias application of context or words, I marvel. Probably, it is a quest to say - we are better than you. I don't really care about that because the Koran in itself points to the truth - I can state that as a fact.<br />From Lot to Jewish traditions to today, it is hard to take you serious unless you really want me to - I would rather have preferred a debate but I don't know how possible that is.<br /><br />I say the last sentence because space would be insufficient if I need to straighten out your citations of OT scripture and worse still... if I marry them against similar portions of the Koran... something that could help you see your bias more clearly.okmichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12484964024951173752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3694316236173314997.post-32117563703184988772015-09-13T15:30:12.190+01:002015-09-13T15:30:12.190+01:00Very finely written article.

It does fit the prophecy whereby Ahmad(as) was told by Allah in revelations that his progenies will be blessed with both secular and religious knowledge. However, Ahmad(as) prophecy is that 300 years after his demise in 1908 that the entire world will finally know the truth of Islam, that the majority of the world will be Muslim, and that Islam will prove victorious over all of its enemies & opponents. According to prophecies, Islam is supposed to rise in the West. We do not know if this prophecy may mean that there will be Caliphs of Caucasian background? Maybe Allah will choose a Caliph from the continent of Africa or Asia? Only Allah knows and only time will tell. So far, the 5 Ahmadiyya Caliph seems to have been selected as they bring exactly what is needed to the table for the propagation of Islam depending on the need of the time. What I do know is that as an Ahmadi Muslim, I am at peace to be under the spiritual umbrella of the Khalifa. I have brothers and sisters in 207 countries who are all working like bees (all with their roles and responsibilities, being accountable to Allah and the Caliph) in an organized manner to spread Islam. We’re not busy criticizing each other like some followers of certain clerics, we’re busy supporting one another. How can I ever trade that with the Islam that I had before whereby I was cutting and paste/cherry picking my own concept of Islam piece meal based on what I felt made sense from some clerics but not others on youtube? How can I ever trade the unity and peace I have now under the khilafat, with the Islam I had before where there is no unity and accountable leadership? Most importantly, how can I trade an Islam, whereby I have direct relationship with Allah, the granting of true dream, the bountiful acceptance of prayers, with the Islam that taught me that revelations died when Prophet Muhammad(sa) passed away. The Khilafat is a manifestation of God’s approval and I truly know now with my pledge of allegiance what it means “to hold fast to the rope of Allah.” I have with me an Islam that is living & not contradictory to science as the interpretation of the Quran is evolving to fulfil the needs of the time based on Allah’s direct revelation.<br /><br />Insha’Allah my explanation will help clarify why ANY seeker after truth should ask Allah directly during prayers/salat (just like I did in the following manner) the following:<br /><br />“Ya Allah, this man Ahmad claimed to be a messenger sent by you. He claimed to bring direct messages from You. Is he truthful ya Allah? Is he your messenger Ya Allah? Is he from you Ya Allah? Please guide me, help me, and show me if he is speaking the truth”<br /><br />If you ask with full humility with full sincerity intending to know the truth and if you truly believe that Allah exists, there is no way that Allah will lead you on the wrong path.
