Solution for Humanity!!!

[islamis4u]

Islam is the solution for humanity, Islam answers all the question or problems this humanity have today Islam is the only religion of the world and true religion of the world Islam is the only religion of the world which not only tells the principles of living on this earth, like brotherhood, kindness to everyone including non-Muslims just to everyone including non-Muslims, the rights of women, Islam also tell us how to implement these golden principle, Islam is the only religion which teaches us practically how you can live achieve this all and Islam is the only religion which has it all from top to bottom every part of life is covered by Islam.

One wonderful thing in islam is that Islam believes in all the prophet and Islam is only religion that have respect for Jesus(pbuh) other then Christian themselves.

I will one by one in this topic create post in which i will try to remove misconception of Islam. Islam is wrongly portrayed in the world by the western media.



Misconceptions due to media
The common misconceptions about Islam arise in the minds of a majority of
non-Muslims, because they are constantly being bombarded with
misinformation about Islam. International media is mainly controlled by the
western world, whether it is international satellite channels, radio stations, news
papers, magazines or books. Recently the Internet has become a powerful
medium of information. Though it is not controlled by anybody, one finds a large
amount of virulent propaganda about Islam on the Internet. Of course, Muslims
too are utilizing this tool to portray the right image of Islam and Muslims, but
they are far behind as compared to the propaganda against Islam. I hope the
efforts by the Muslims will increase and continue to be pursued.
Misconceptions change with time
The most common questions about Islam are different in different periods and
eras. This set of twenty most common questions is based on present times.
Decades earlier, the set of questions was different and decades later too, the
set of questions may change depending upon how Islam is projected by the
media.
Misconceptions are the same throughout the world
I have interacted with people in different parts of the world and have found these
twenty most common questions about Islam to be the same everywhere. There
may be a couple of additional questions depending upon the locale, the
surrounding or culture. For instance in America, the additional common
question is - “Why does Islam prohibit taking and giving of interest?”
I have included among these twenty most common questions, certain questions
more common among the Indian non-Muslims. For instance, “why do Muslims
have non-vegetarian food?” The reason for including such questions is that
people of Indian origin are spread throughout the world and constitute about
20% i.e. 1/5th of the world population. Thus, their questions become common
questions asked by non-Muslims throughout the world.
Misconceptions of non-Muslims who have studied Islam
There are many non-Muslims who have studied Islam. Most of them have only
read books on Islam written by biased critics of Islam. These non-Muslims have
an additional set of twenty common misconceptions about Islam. For instance,
they claim to have found contradictions in the Qur’an, they contend that the
Qur’an is unscientific, etc. There is another set of additional replies clearing
these twenty misconceptions among non-Muslims who have studied Islam from
distorted sources. I have also given the replies to twenty additional less
common questions among the non-Muslims in my public talks and book on
“Answers to Common Questions about Islam by Non-Muslims who have some
knowledge about Islam”.

ok, Ill play, please tell me where someone in these circumstances fits into islam.

Not married woman. never married. has children. works fulltime. Doesnt believe in any particular god. is a kind , decent person that looks after her family friends and those in need.
why must she have any religion at all.

[islamis4u]

I do not understand Your English please complete your sentence please and secondly i do say my english is little poor but i know where fullstops comes and where not.

[greymare]

I am sorry for my basic english. I do type with little regard for who is reading it .I am sorry. My question is this. In your opinion how would a woman be regarded if she was the mother of some children and she had not ever married. I am curious to know how this woman would live under muslim life. and would her children be accepted in the community. Where I live, it is a almost normal situation. It doesnt make this woman a bad person to me. What do you think?

A Muslim is not a Muslim who do not believe Jesus (Pbuh) is messenger of Allah.

Muslim shows much respect to Jesus (Pbuh). It is mandatory to articulate "Peace be upon him" after his name.

I agree 100% with you.
You are to use same tools to present the correct picture of image.

Human beings should be free to practice whatever religion they want to without Government coercion or prejudice before the law. Also we should be free to think what we like and marry who we like without pressure from peers and relatives (society in general).

islamis4u,

if you can barely write a sentence in english i don't know how exactly you are intending to convert people who speak it fluently. is this why you appear to be ignoring the code of conduct, because you don't understand what it says? this isn't a site for dawah. it is a site for *dialogue*. the two are not the same. here's a link to the CoC:

Code of Conduct

if you are going to keep up this attitude you are unlikely to be here very long.

"The term interfaith or interfaith dialogue refers to cooperative and positive interaction between people of different religious traditions, (ie. "faiths") at both the individual and institutional level with the aim of deriving a common ground in belief through a concentration on similarities between faiths."

this is demonstrably false.

Islam is the only religion of the world which not only tells the principles of living on this earth, like brotherhood, kindness to everyone including non-Muslims just to everyone including non-Muslims, the rights of women, Islam also tell us how to implement these golden principle,

only some 1,400 years after the Buddha did these very things.

Islam is the only religion which teaches us practically how you can live achieve this all and Islam is the only religion which has it all from top to bottom every part of life is covered by Islam.

i suggest that you do not know much about Buddhism, then, for it covers all aspects of life as well.

One wonderful thing in islam is that Islam believes in all the prophet and Islam is only religion that have respect for Jesus(pbuh) other then Christian themselves.

again, demonstrably false.

Buddhism has a great deal of respect for the teachings of Jesus and we frequently state this very thing.

I will one by one in this topic create post in which i will try to remove misconception of Islam. Islam is wrongly portrayed in the world by the western media.

i'm sure. indeed, only Western Media is false and only Arabic media is true, this is such a tired and rehashed statement that i wonder if anyone takes it seriously any longer.

The common misconceptions about Islam arise in the minds of a majority of
non-Muslims, because they are constantly being bombarded with
misinformation about Islam.

as you are constantly being bombarded by misinformation regarding western cultures and other religions.

For instance in America, the additional common
question is - “Why does Islam prohibit taking and giving of interest?”

i've only rarely heard this question and it seems completely irrelevant to most beings questions regarding Islam, as near as i can tell.

For instance, “why do Muslims have non-vegetarian food?”

not all Indians are vegetarians so i cannot imagine that this question is posed by anyone other than vegetarians.

they claim to have found contradictions in the Qur’an, they contend that the
Qur’an is unscientific, etc.

Al Qur'an is not a scientific text. if you think that it is you must agree that any part of it that is show false would dispove the whole text, but i don't think that you'd be willing to agree to that.

First thing i have already said that i would not be posting any copied post again, secondly i was saying so if i would have said this and i know what is in this article okay i have just changed my words and nothing saying would be same, secondly you say that, i know Davah and dialogue is to different things okay, but i have where said im doing davah here i never said that, okay may be my profession would be dai'h but im doing dialogue, nothing else in here im just want to remove misconceptions and nothing else. I would like to say having said so that Davah and dialogue s to different things but i may say you what is the meaning of davah to call others to your religion, in davah we remove misconceptions, now ask me what removing misconception it makes common ground or give a lighter site of a religion so that nobody calls it false rather take it as friendly religion. I just want to create friendly environment by removing misconception and it will make to human beings from different reliigions to come closer and it think this also answers the post of 'Dauer'

Laslty i have already said that i would not paste okay and this post you seem to replying so was paste before saying so that was a thing okay. I would also like to say about dialogue that many here right now use many things regarding islam which hurt our feeling very much but we here never pointed out that, they say so much about pur Holy Prophet(pbuh) but we rather fighting them have a dialogue, if you say so that im aggressive in my post see many other posts also, i do not know from which religion you are from but you should also see that what pain we have see that posts, as you are Mod here you should be neutral.

Having said i was not saying so that i would be continue like this but, i know its not my site its yours but i will from now will see to my words.

Your Welcome,

Yeah offcourse i do not know about Buddhism much, so i would not have a DIALOGUE on that, but as i do not know much i just want to like to ask that how it practically teaches about the brotherhood and things i said.


Secondly,


Western culture you talk about i would not have said about it much but as you have pointed about western culture, i ask you simple question, their is no respect for a women!! you will ask how i said that i will answer look brother you would say that they respect because we make them independence okay. what independence of a woman give them??? To be a one who would only as ------ element only for man to use for their needs, you may know what needs they need? i would not point out again, i tell you that, in a report this is not im saying this is from the American agency and it is old report, that in every 32 seconds a woman is raped, this is what we say is respect? no Islam may says that a woman should not work openly, if its neccessry she should be in Hijab or Islamic Shiriah, it give respect a hijab gives respect, and nothing else, i ask you agian from an example if their is two sister both twins okay they are extremely beautiful equally, one is in western clothes like mini skirts, or some thing like that and other is in Islamic Hijab, fully covered in head to bottom tell me if they were walking on the road and in the road side some gang of the people would be standing tell me to whom they will look with bad view bad intentions a sister covered in the Hijab or other in western mini skirts? you know the answer.

What about interests you all the major companies mostly mostly works on principle of Islamic principles of business you would ask how now you interests system no companies work in that mostly biggest companies they work on shares you know how shares work so, and this shares is and Islamic way of doing business.
I would have pointed more and more points about western and Islamic culture. I think time do not permit me.


I was not saying this about all the non-Muslims rather i also knew that the vegetarian part was for vegetarian only.


I say yes Quran is not any scientific text but saying so i would also like to say Quran is book of signs not science and again saying so if i would ask you tell me any point in Quran which is against science, which have been proven and established not a theory or hypothesis, Quran have no scientific errors, Quran have so many scientific signs you can not even think.

i'm sure. indeed, only Western Media is false and only Arabic media is true, this is such a tired and rehashed statement that i wonder if anyone takes it seriously any longer.

That is not the thing that this thing or that is old the thing is what is in it if no answer comes to this we would say that western media is false, you are playing with words i said that it increase misconception about Islam how, now ask always any act comes or any activity done in the world everyone says Muslims sis this or that why? You know i can have told about so many points regarding things that Muslims are not terrorists, I would say may be some would but they are very fewer in number then non-Muslims, this tag is completely given to Muslims, why? In news when anything happens it is first said on the basis of hypothesis that Muslims did that without any prove, and it is then said in media Muslims are the extremists and are very politics in media in every news one hour hour discussions and if it is proven wrong you know what it only comes in headlines and nothing else, a media should be neutral, but the western media is controlled by politicians, you would ask any example 9/11 is the example it wasn't done by any Muslims rather by non-Muslims.

I say that this wasn't said so that every non-Muslim is bad or any religion teaches that i know every religion including Islam teaches peace and love and teaches good things, thing is Terrorism is not an monopoly of any religion including non-Islamic religion but the people are wrong, but why this tag is attached with on Islam to Muslims that is the thing.

-Br.Bruce

The number of people believing in any faith do not say that it is solution for humanity, i ask you that the most of the people in the world are suffering from problems more then that then who have lesser problems, then we would say that it is problems to solution of humanity?
you know Muslims community is the biggest community which do not drink alcohol, their may be some but they are drop in a ocean.

Last thing why are you pasting something from other site have A DIALOGUE, give some points and nothing else, i also agree everyone is free in accepting any religion we should not pressurize im just giving points about Islam if your religion have more points then this tell us? this may help to understand your religion in better way.

islamis4u:

thank you for refraining from cut-and-paste, that is appreciated.

your tagline is "Vision To Spread Islam". that's a pretty clear agenda.

okay may be my profession would be dai'h but im doing dialogue, nothing else in here

in which case, how are you able to justify this, which you posted on the next thread down?

There is nothing wrong with developing a personal friendship with a non-Muslim to help him/her understand and appreciate Islam and to ultimately embrace it if they chose to.

in other words, you are developing "friendships" for the purpose of converting people to islam. that is what most practitioners of dawah aim to do. now "removing misconceptions" is all very well, as long as it does not suggest that one of the "misconceptions" that must be "removed" is the idea that it's OK not to be muslim, or, in your words "Islam answers all the question or problems this humanity have today". in my experience of dawah practitioners, this is an important point to be clear about. if you are doing nothing but clarification with no ulterior motive, than that's fine. however, your tagline and your other posts so far would appear to indicate nothing of the sort.

I would also like to say about dialogue that many here right now use many things regarding islam which hurt our feeling very much but we here never pointed out that, they say so much about pur Holy Prophet(pbuh) but we rather fighting them have a dialogue, if you say so that im aggressive in my post see many other posts

ok, one thing you need to learn about engaging in dialogue is that you need to develop a rather thicker skin. whinging about hurt feelings is the response of a child, not an adult. in a democracy, with free speech, where most of us live, public debate permits the airing of all opinions, no matter how unpleasant. they can then be challenged in debate. special exemptions for muhammad are, i'm afraid, both coercive and, moreover, counter-productive. with that said, on a dialogue board, we do not set out to offend each other, nor is it anyone's job to protect you from hurt feelings. there may be individuals who are less rigorous in this respect, but what we do here is oversee a robust exchange of views, rather than seeking to stifle debate. getting up in arms, rioting and issuing threats, as happened in the case of the danish cartoons, merely made the muslims who behaved in that fashion appear to be a bunch of intolerant crybabies who were unable to cope with criticism and, as you yourself just said - the *best* way to cope with criticism is to *remove preconceptions*.

also, moderators here are supposed to maintain a certain level of civility in debate, but we are not expected to be neutral. we are all from different backgrounds and do our best to be fair-minded. it's not *my* site either, if you've got a problem, take it to the site owner, but i can assure you that all i'm doing here is reflecting the CoC.

but as you have pointed about western culture, i ask you simple question, their is no respect for a women!!

oh, you see, now, MY feelings are hurt, boo hoo hoo! i don't think you've got the least idea what you're talking about. you live in pakistan, right? what do you think of the hudood laws, then? i don't notice any islamists being up in arms about how women are treated under them. how about forced marriages - we have a large problem here in the UK with young women being married off without their consent to people chosen by their families - that, in my book, is at least one way in which "the west" respects women. similarly, whilst i fully support any woman's right to dress how she CHOOSES, that cannot mean she can only choose to cover up - it has to give her the right to *uncover*.

as for your use of rape statistics, the reason there aren't comparable statistics from the islamic world is that they are not reliably measured, researched, analysed or reported. i am sure there are less reported incidence of adultery, drink-driving, wife-beating and indeed alien abduction in the islamic world, but it doesn't mean it isn't happening. you cannot make such a judgement without statistically valid comparisons.

i ask you again from an example if their is two sister both twins okay they are extremely beautiful equally, one is in western clothes like mini skirts, or some thing like that and other is in Islamic Hijab, fully covered in head to bottom tell me if they were walking on the road and in the road side some gang of the people would be standing tell me to whom they will look with bad view bad intentions a sister covered in the Hijab or other in western mini skirts? youknow the answer.

the answer is to make it unacceptable and likely to be punished if these people have such "bad views" and "bad intentions". what happens in the islamic world, more often than not, is that the woman is blamed - i believe in pakistan she is expected to have four witnesses to avoid this! you may also not be familiar with the concept that concealment actually also *raises* interest. in fact i understand that there is a great deal of pornography available nowadays where the woman is wearing just a hijab or niqab and nothing else. clearly there's an appetite there...

i would ask you tell me any point in Quran which is against science, which have been proven and established not a theory or hypothesis, Quran have no scientific errors, Quran have so many scientific signs you can not even think.

anything you can say about the Qur'an in this respect, you can also say about the bible, as you'd find out if you asked someone who knew about it to "remove [your] misconceptions".

9/11 is the example it wasn't done by any Muslims rather by non-Muslims.

who, then? because, let's face it, most of the jihadi lunatics seem quite happy to take the credit. it seems to me that the denial that muslims can ever possibly do anything bad is rather hysterical, not to mention unbelievable. sounds to me like you're just repeating the party line somebody's taught you.

b'shalom
