- Muslims in church?!? Here, Muslims and Christians come together at a church to understand each others religions and clear up misconceptions about Islam. This video should answer a few questions that non-Muslims might have about Islam.
I did not make or own this video. All credit goes to Guide Us TV. This is the first part of the video...watch the next part to continue! ;D
I love this dialogue! I pray that Allah (SWT) keep shaykh Yusuf Estes in good health and Emaan. Ameen
it's amazing to see them setting like this ,i'm very happy !! this is how we should live ! LOVE
khali - When I was a teenager I was very worried by preaching about hell, torment, fear, being thrown into the fire. It appeared to emphasis domination, power, control, dictatorship, laws, condemnation.
Jesus came with humbleness, brokeness, washing the deciples feet, healing, being kind and gentle. He commanded love, he encouraged patience, forgiveness, giving, good works. He spoke of the 2nd death, destruction, perishing, but mainly about being one with the Father.
May Allah rewards you Brother Yusuf...Ameen Ya Rabb.
Islam is one of the world's largest religions yet it is also one of the most misunderstood. For various reasons - be they political, economic, biased media or fear of the "other" - mistruths and misconceptions have been spread about Islam. The key to understanding Islam and Muslims is to resist stereotypes and examine each situation according to Islamic teachings and authentic sources.
Misconception 1 - "Muslims Do Not Share Good and Noble Values with non-Muslims"
"The best among you are those who have the best manners and character." - Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)
Some people allege that Islamic values are somehow incompatible with decent "Western" values. Such claims could not be further from the truth.
Muslims cherish noble and universal values such as:
being honest and just
keeping one's word
allowing freedom of religion
respecting parents, relatives, neighbours, and the elderly
being charitable, generous, and looking after the poor and needy
not lying, cheating, swearing or backbiting anyone
Muslims are required to contribute positively towards society and to always conduct themselves with the highest of morals and best of actions.
Misconception 2 - "Muslims Worship a New God Called Allah"
Muslims worship the same God worshipped by Prophets Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus. The word "Allah" is simply the Arabic word for Almighty God - an Arabic word of rich meaning, denoting the one and only God. Allah is also the same word that Arabic speaking Christians and Jews use to refer to God.
However, although Muslims, Jews and Christians believe in the same God (the Creator), their concepts regarding Him differ significantly. For example, Muslims reject the idea of God having any partners or being part of a 'trinity', and ascribe perfection only to God, the Almighty.
Misconception 3 - "Islam Permits Terrorism"
The media generally portrays any Muslim who fights as a terrorist, regardless of whether they fight justly or unjustly, or whether they are oppressing others or being oppressed.
In war, the targeting of innocent non-combatants is a despicable act which Islam clearly prohibits. In fact, Muslims are not allowed to destroy plants and animals unnecessarily, let alone innocent humans. However, it is important to distinguish between terrorism and legitimate resistance to occupation, as the two are very different.
The Quran clearly demonstrates the seriousness of killing an innocent person, and emphasises the value of human life.
"If anyone murders an innocent person, it will be as if he has murdered the whole of humanity. And if anyone saves a person it will be as if he has saved the whole of humanity."Quran 5:32
Misconception 4 - "Islam Oppresses Women"
In Islam, men and women are viewed as equals before God, in terms of both receiving equal reward and accountability for their actions. The only thing that distinguishes people in the sight of God is their level of piety.
"Verily the most honourable of you in the sight of Allah is the most God conscious."Quran 49:13
This verse proves that real honour and status is not attained because a person is rich or poor, black or white, male or female, but attained through piety and devoutness.
Allah, the Creator of both genders, has assigned different roles and responsibilities for each, taking into account their differences. Women are given the utmost respect and honour, such as the right to equal pay, choice of spouse, pursuit of education, and the right to divorce and inheritance.
Unfortunately, there are some Muslim women who are oppressed and not given their rights. This is not the fault of Islam. The problem is that in some countries, people follow certain cultural practices and traditions which have nothing to do with Islam.
Misconception 5 - "The Quran is Just another History or Poetry Book"
The Quran is the divine literal word of God Almighty, revealed to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), through the angel Gabriel. It is a criterion for the truth, containing guidance for humanity to live by. The Quran cites lessons from preceding generations and the history of the Prophets in order that we may learn from their experiences. It further teaches us about ourselves and our Creator, as well as the purpose of our existence which is to acknowledge God, worshipping Him alone.
God did not create humans to simply wander aimlessly. The test of one's faith is in using one's intellect, free will and reasoning abilities to contemplate and recognise God's signs - one of the greatest signs being The Quran.
The Quran contains within it many miracles, so that we can have no doubt about its authenticity. The best way to discover what the Quran is actually about, is to read it for yourself.
Misconception 6 - "Hijab is Oppressive"
To observe the hijab, Muslim women are required to modestly cover their body with clothes that do not reveal their figure in front of non-closely related males. However, hijab is not just about outer appearances; it is also about noble speech, modesty, and dignified conduct.
Although there are many benefits of the hijab, the key reason Muslim women observe hijab is because it is a command from Allah (God), and He knows what is best for His creation.
The hijab empowers a woman by emphasising her inner spiritual beauty, rather than her superficial appearance. It gives women the freedom to be active members of society, while maintaining their modesty.
The hijab does not symbolize suppression, oppression or silence. Rather, it is a guard against degrading remarks, unwanted advances and unfair discrimination. So the next time you see a Muslim woman, know that she covers her physical appearance, not her mind or intellect.
Misconception 7 - "All Muslims are Arabs"
Only about 20% of Muslims in the world are Arabs, meaning that up to about 80% of Muslims are non-Arabs. For example, there are more Indian and Indonesian Muslims than Arab Muslims. Islam teaches that an individual is not superior to another because of race or colour, and is strictly against any form of racism. Islam has a universal message for all of mankind - that is, that everyone can gain peace and success only by acknowledging and worshipping the One True God.
Misconception 8 - "Jihad is Terrorism"
The essence of Jihad is to struggle and sacrifice for one's religion in a manner which is pleasing to God. Linguistically, it means to "struggle" and can refer to one's striving to do good deeds, give charity, or to join an Islamic military action. The most commonly known form is the military Jihad which is permitted in order to preserve the well being of society, to prevent oppression from spreading, and to promote justice. This can be either defensive or offensive, depending on the circumstance.
Misconception 9 - "Muslims Worship Muhammad or the Moon God"
Yet another misconception is that Muslims worship Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). This is entirely untrue, and is easily refuted by the actual saying of the Prophet (peace be upon him): "Do not over-praise me as the Christians over-praised Jesus, the son of Mary. I am His slave, so refer to me as 'God's slave and Messenger.' "
Islam teaches Muslims to respect all of God's Prophets and Messengers - but respecting and loving them does not mean worshipping them.
A related claim is that Muslims worship the "moon God" which is also totally incorrect. Worshipping the moon, or anything other than Allah, is strictly prohibited in Islam:
"Do not prostrate to the sun or to the moon, but prostrate to Allah Who created them, if you really worship Him."Quran 41:37
Islam acknowledges the complete perfection, greatness and uniqueness of God with absolutely no compromises. He is the Most Just and the Most Merciful. Worshipping Him alone is the most important belief in Islam, as mentioned in the Quran in numerous places.
ATTIS - Phrygia: Born of the virgin Nana on December 25. He was both the Father and the Divine Son. He was a savior crucified on a tree for the salvation of mankind. He was buried but on the third day the priests found the tomb empty -- He had arisen from the dead (on March 25th).
Yes and No, he's actually Army Lt. Col. Greg Gadson. An injured soldier from Iraq that read for the part in "Battleship". A true soldier and hero. i was surprised to see him in the video but being so close to DC I shouldnt have been.
And this also reminds you to me..
Surat Al-Qalam
1. Nun. By the pen and what they inscribe,
2. You are not, [O Muhammad], by the favor of your Lord, a madman.
3. And indeed, for you is a reward uninterrupted.
4. And indeed, you are of a great moral character.
5. So you will see and they will see
6. Which of you is the afflicted [by a devil].
7. Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who has gone astray from His way, and He is most knowing of the [rightly] guided.
Persian legends of Mithras says that He was born of the Sun God and a virgin mother, called "the Mother of God", on December 25th. They saw him as a symbol of justice, truth, and loyalty. He was considered the saviour of humankind, and stories abound of His healing the sick, raising the dead, and performing miracles (making the blind see and the lame walk). Throughout His lifetime, He was seen as a protector of human souls
Anyone who lies is not one of us, the Muslims.
There is no Taqiyya in Islam.
Islam is a religion of Honor, Dignity, Righteousness, Respect, Charity and Support.
You see someone talking about taqiyya, lying for this purpose or that, know that he has gone astray from Islam.
Say: “O People of the Book! Come to common terms as between us and you that we worship none but God.” (3:64
You will say "how am I a muslim if I curse at Mohammad?" You dont need to like him. Just love God truly and remove the hate and prejudice from your heart. If you love Him enough, He will choose the best for you. Let it be Christianity or Islam, He will decide.
I am sorry but I am a Muslim first, without Islam, nothing means anything.
Islam is the meaning of the Light, of everything.
Every road, Christianity, Judaism, even rejecting God will take you to God but Islam is the highway.
The right of your neighbour is that you guard him when he is absent honour him when he is present, and aid him when he is wronged. You do not pursue anything of his that is shameful; if you know of any evil from him, you conceal it. If you know that he will accept your counsel, you counsel him in that which is between him and you. You do not forsake him in difficulty You release him from his stumble, you forgive his sin, and you associate with him generously. And there is no strength save in God
“The spirit of the gospel is optimistic; it trusts in God and looks on the bright side of things. The opposite or pessimistic spirit drags men down and away from God, looks on the dark side, murmurs, complains, and is slow to yield obedience.” --- Orson F. Whitney
"Islam means peace"
Imagine riping the heart out of a person and putting in a programmed insult generator.
All the inner conflict has gone, all is quiet. Continual repetitive prayer, day and night.
You are pure, you wash away sins, you show honour to God so he loves you, maybe.
Slowly all the creative aspects of life drop away, a dull methodical view of life becomes reality. As one man, an insult causes great anger, you rise to stamp out the blasphemer.
You are a hammer, a tool, a robot.
Islam - turned ascetism with love and forgiveness
Mohammed had love in his life, and exercised it with many people.
Muslims do many good things, share, try to help those around them.
What touched me was a muslim woman who wanted to help her friend with her problems, felt overwhelming love in her heart and spoke words God gave her. She was shocked when the Lord told her he was Jesus.
I found it hard as a child to think Jesus could be the only way to life, but now I know it is true,that simple
“No historians today, who isn’t already a committed Muslim, denies the fact of the crucifixion” ~ William Lane Craig.
Muhammad died in 632 A.D. He died as a result of being poisoned following his attack upon and conquest of the Jewish settlement of Khaibar. About 2 month before his attack on Khaibar Muhammad failed in an attempt to go to Mecca. This failure resulted in the Treaty of Hudaybiyya with the Meccans. He returned humiliated in the eyes of the Meccans and in the minds of his people. To lift their defeated spirit, Muhammad told his followers that the events at Hudaybiyya were really a victory.
"Among the nations before you a believing man would be put in a ditch that was dug for him, His body would be combed with iron combs that would remove his flesh from the bones and nerves, yet that would not make him abandon his religion and a saw would be put over his head and he would be cut into two pieces; yet that torture would not make him give up his religion"
In Islam u are not even allowed to hurt plants and the trees even during war.Weapons of mass destruction are prohibited in Islam and a major sin. May Allah guide y'all and his peace mercy and blessing s be upon y'all
OSIRIS - EGYPT: He came to fulfill the law. Called "KRST," the "Anointed One." Born of the virgin Isis-Meri on December 25th in a cave / manger, with his birth announced by a star and attended by three wise men. Earthly father named "Seb" (translates to "Joseph.") At age 12 he was a child teacher in the Temple and at 30 he was baptized, having disappeared for 18 years.
One simple point I want to convey to you, Islam is not a western way of thinking.
We strive for clarity, single definitions, reducing things to their simplest points so the exact meaning of the words, message can be clearly understood and acted upon.
Islam strives for the opposite. It wants to obscure and slander its enemies and bind its followers to blindly follow the current religious leaders of the faith today
No muslim statement should be taken at face value, it always means something else
That's why, later the disciples opened the grave and took out Judas' dead body to hide it, in fear that the Romans and Jews later get suspicious and open the grave themselves to check if Jesus was really dead and find out their mistake.
“Never be content with your current grasp of the gospel. The gospel is the life-permeating, world-altering, universe-changing truth. It has more facets than a diamond. It's depths man will never exhaust.” C.J. Mahaney
Otherwise it says : Leave the people of the book alone as long as they do not attack you because among them there are pious people who fear and respect God.
Dear JK, did you know: This man whom you swear at, through out all his life, distributed all he had to the poor and hte needy? He would sleep with a stone tied to his belly so his hungry stomach would not trouble him. For days, he would have not even a boling water in his household, let alone anything to eat. When he died, he had ransomed his shield to a pawnbroker so that his family could eat something. And did you know, when he was living like this, the new Islam Nation was thriving and rich..
Many christians have given up their lives as acts of love for others.
Man is so lost, he does not trust at such a fundemental level, sometimes it is only through the ultimate sacrifice that the meaning to Jesus's love breaks through.
In a real spiritual sense, christians are just stepping over into the eternal kingdom, demonstrating to them love conquers all.
P2: That guy had only one wife and David had 99 but finally he had found his true love, Salomon's mother. And God is warning him not to follow his desires lest he will transgress. And please remember, we are talking about 2500 more or less years ago so a man marrying 100 wives was just normal at that time. Do not compare it to today. So let's see the full verse how God loves David
The first type of love that Islam calls for is the Love of Allah, praise be to Him. This love makes you avoid committing sins in order not to make whom you love, Allah, get angry with you. This love also urges you to contemplate all the different aspect of nature that usually lead you to have a deeper faith in the Creator who created all this beauty round us.
The second type of love is the love of Prophet Muhammad
The third type of love is human love
You’ve elegantly demonstrated the difference between Allah and Jesus, the one true God never leaves his children, and they never go astray, the Qur’an says that God loves not those, whom the Bible says God loved so much that he was willing to give up the perfect life he lived to bring us into fellowship with him.
khali -
If my neighbour was a pedophile abusing young people, I need to speak out and get the authorities involved.
If he sins against me, then I need to forgive him, just as the Lord forgives me.
If he asks for advice, I would provide my point of view as I would to anyone I meet.
If I see a need where I can help, I will offer such help.
Oddly islam says if your neighbour is an non-believer I should not be friends with him, or share with him, but keep my heart in hatred of his life as an enemy
Dear readers,
The murder of a soldier in Woolwich raises the question, why? Who is pushing this agenda? A muslim suggested the problem is literalist Wahhabi Islam.
If you think this is really the issue, you have to discuss this within the community.
Do you want Islam to survive or do you already know it is such a big mirage, once you start to look in detail at the facts, you know it does not work?
What matters more loving your neighbour and yourself or your faith?
I choose love over faith
This may sound like preaching, but this is just part of my life.
Jesus comes to me and says, "You are loved, as you are, in your lostness.
You are accepted, you are found precious and beautifull."
The issue is repenting, accepting our failure and learning again how to walk.
The foundation needs to be love, openness, self honesty.
After many years no part of my life is not effected and changed.
Jesus wanted to build a kingdom of people who are free and love from the heart, that simple.
No body is insulting anyone we are just writing what is written in their bible with clarification and I don’t see anything wrong with that
and btw, I am a full-time student, but you can blame Muslim evangelists for coming into a Christian on-line community that I was a part of and tried to tell all us Chrisitans that we were following a corrupt book! Now, I'm not at all against people believing what they want to believe about Mo'mad or Ghandi or Buddha or whatever, but when your faith rests on the disbelieving of another religion than that is a whole nother story ...
I gave an argument for that; the Nicaea Creed was signed by all, but two bishops and Arius showing that the Trinity was very widely accepted. You’re going to have to do more than simply assert your position if you’re going to convince anyone.
These are Gnostic Gospels which came out of the second-third centenary onward; these are widely recognised as forgeries.
Thanks! you admitted again that "...the curse being expressed. I do not agree with it" and " ..Lots of failure will obviously be involved". this shows that there must be a true correct path of salvation you have been dreaming of.
When Jesus said "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" in what language did he speak?
(a) Hebrew: the words are "Eli, Eli . . . " (Matthew 27:46).
(b) Aramaic: the words are "Eloi, Eloi . . . " (Mark 15:34).
What is the difference between slavery in Jesus and slavery in Islam?
Jesus was interested not in political transformation but the transformation of the heart through love setting you free.
Islam is about submission to law, external, pious observance which changes who you are.
Christians have always been about love building a new society and structures, not about revolution or destruction. It has not worked through yet, but love is getting there in our society like never before...
I learned everything I needed to learn about Islam on Sept. 11, 2011. Enough said.
Looool.
Qnd hopefuly the government, bor you have only hlaf the story.
Verse 41:34 "Nor can goodness and evil be equal. Repel (evil) with that is the better: Then will he between whom and thee was hatred become as it were thy friend and intimate!."
Verse 28:54 "Twice will they be given their reward, for that they have persevered, that they avert evil with good, and that they spend (in charity) out of what We have given them."
Belief is in the heart dear Rob, not in the words. Anyone who wishes to convert to Christianity or any other, even Atheism is free to do that because the heart is already converted. An atheist who fears his life and says he is Christian or Muslim or Jew is of no good to anyone. Freedom rules. A true muslim will never object to anyone who wants to convert.
Dear reader,
Life is about family, washing up, helping people, loving your neighbour, bringing harmony. It is anger, violence, ripping change born out of hatred that spreads evil.
It is easier to rip than build, to complain than do good. Islam is focused on criticsm and destruction, the enemy than on building something eternal.
Maybe you will see when you are honest about your own failures and see the measure God brings to judge you personally. Until then fairy stories always appeal more
You do as all the others do dear Rob. Let me say : "Rob is a good man" and then add " other than he can't help his kleptomania so beware when he is around, he will rob you blind" You take the first part and it makes you good?
That verse if you read it completely says : If you are attacked, when you are under attack, when they assault you, when you defend...
Did you notice?? Colonel Greg Gadson (played in "Battleship") - double amputee sitting next to the pastor - excellent speech he gave!
And please let me say : When I say "there is none comparable" even this word makes me shudder...
to put the word comparable to state there is none makes me feel like I am transgressing, being not able to understand the majesty of God.
We love Him this much.
I hope you too love Him at least this much in your way.
DIONYSUS - GREECE: Born of a Virgin on December 25th, placed in a manger. He was a traveling teacher who performed many miracles. Turned water into wine. Followers ate sacred meal that became the body of the god. He rose from the dead March 25th. Identified with the ram and lamb's and was called "King of Kings," "Only Begotten Son," "Savior," "Redeemer," "Sin bearer," "Anointed One," the "Alpha and Omega." I HAVE TO GO TO WORK NOW READ MY COMMENTS CAREFULLY, YOU WILL SE ALOT THE SAME
Sin - We need to acknowledge failure, desire to be different.
We need to pay the price.
"I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it." John 10:11-12
P6: 38:24 And David became certain that We had tried him, and he asked forgiveness of his Lord and fell down bowing [in prostration] and turned in repentance [to Allah ].
38:25 So We forgave him that; and lo! he had access to Our presence and a happy journey's end.
what i believe is Islam is the way of life. Before i know nothing about islam. all i know is islam some of religion that have too many thing that we can not do. now i know what is the reason by not doing the haraam thing. Alhamdulilah i'm a muslim now.
Christians drove Muslims out of their homes during the Crusades. I remember one quote from a Crusader amazed at how well the Muslims treated them afterwards.
Good he got treated in Israel. Though I don't think that makes up for Israel roasting an infant with white phosphorus during the 2008 Gaza war. Among numerous other atrocities.
Mo - condemned the adulterer, murdered those who mocked him and claimed the kingdom of Arabia
Jesus - forgave the adulterer, asked God to forgive those who mocked him and freely chose to die to save his friends who he loved.
You cannot get such a greater contract in spiritual goals or expectations.
Muslims today which to repeat the same mistakes of hatred, bitterness and blame of others for their own sins, rather than repenting and learning how to love their fellow man.
Dear JK, thanks to you I can share my view with my brothers everytime you bring up a new point. For that, may God bless you.
"Let there be no compulsion in religion. Truth stands out clear from error; whoever rejects evil and believes in God has grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold that never breaks. And God hears and knows all things." - (The Qur’an, Al-Baqarah, 2: 256)
Lets talk about corrupt rulers first. This subject is widely misinterpreted or comprehended.
What religion are you if: You fast for many days.You are circumcised.You pray by placing your face and head on the ground.You do not eat pork.Female members cover their hair & wear loose clothing. Matthew4:2 Luke2:21 Matthew 26:39 Deuteronomy14:8 Isaiah65:2-5, Leviticus11:7-8 Ephesians5:18 Proverbs 20:1 1Corinthians11:5-6. Jesus a man approved of God, a prophet. Muslims follow more of the teachings of Jesus Christ than Christians.
Surat Al-Mā'idah (The Table Spread), In the name of God, the Merciful, the All-Knowing
"...and nearest among them in love to the believers will you find those who say, 'We are Christians,' because amongst these are men devoted to learning and men who have renounced the world (priests and monks), and they are not arrogant" (5:82).
I find it offensive and hate-mongering to say "slay the believers WHEREVER YOU FIND THEM" ... but go ahead and justify it to yourself that I am "misunderstanding" what has been clearly translated by multiple Islamic Quran scholars who speak Arabic as their birth languag
God did not call christians to dialogue . He called us to preach the gospel. Acts like this will bring about the one world religion that the bible warns us christians not to be a part of.
At what point does a murderer become a murderer
1. When he gets angry?
2. When he hits his enemy?
3. When he kills his enemy?
If a man felt himself perfect, the best example, peaceful, a prophet, does his ability to not see when he becomes a hypocrite defile all the good things he brought?
How is it "pure" muslims are happy to follow this example, and the faith is incapable of showing up their sin to their conscience or sense of right and wrong?
Because Islam destroys this sense.....
The council of Nicaea dealt primarily with the issue of the deity of Christ. Over a century earlier the use of the term "Trinity" could be found in the writings of Origen (185-254) and Tertullian (160-220), and a general notion of a "divine three", in some sense, was expressed in the second century writings of Polycarp, Ignatius, and Justin Martyr.
This is amazing. This is how it should be, respecting one anothers religions and letting God judge.
Muhammad preached 13 years faith which was so obvious out of 50,000 people he got 200 converts leaving for Medina 623 ad
Mo returned to Mecca 6 years later with an army of 10,000 and in one day made 50,000 converts by the sword.
Now what do you think was the deciding factor, the sword or the force of the faith?
The jewish tribes who asked Mo to go to Medina he betrayed, exiled or executed.
Take Mo as your friend and you invite death to stay......
I the muslims would never let a church worship in a mosque
So, here in this verses I see no sin but only God's love and blessings upon David, whom He call His prophet with His own words. Thanks to God for this great creation of His.
The only problem here is that he fell in love and asked the hand of this girl.
He never committed adultry, or murder of any kind as the old Jews blamed him with. He asked her hand from her husband who divorced her and David got married who later gave him Salomon as another great blessing from God.
Think if the Prophet would have uttered a single word you keep vomiting out:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr: "The Prophet never used bad language neither a 'Fahish nor a Mutafahish. He used to say 'The best amongst you are those who have the best manners and character.' (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Virtues and Merits of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and his Companions, Volume 4, Book 56, Number 759)"
b4 - "Trinity is poisoning you"
As a muslim you have a problem seeing sin, or what is wrong in the world.
There in the end are only two kingdoms, one of love and one of domination.
"Blessed are the pure in heart they will see God"
Muhammed believed this idea but through piety would purify who he was. It did not work, Aisha, war, murder, theft etc followed. He rejected Jesus and followed domination, violence and terror.
Death is the only result, poisoned by an enemy
Misconception 10 - "Islam Permits Forced Marriages"
Arranged marriages are cultural practices which are predominant in certain countries throughout the world. Although not restricted to Muslims, forced marriages have become incorrectly associated with Islam.
In Islam, both males and females have the right to choose or reject their potential spouse, and a marriage is considered null and void if a woman's genuine approval is not granted prior to the marriage.
Misconception 11 - "Islam Forces People to Become Muslim"
God says, "Let there be no compulsion in religion. Truth has been made clear from error." Quran 2:256
Although it is a duty on Muslims to convey and share the beautiful message of Islam to others, no one can be compelled to accept Islam. To accept Islam, a person must sincerely and voluntarily believe and obey God, so, by definition, no one can (or should) be forced to accept Islam.
Consider the following:
Indonesia has the largest Muslim population yet no battles were fought to bring Islam there.
There are around 14 million Arab Coptic Christians that have been living in the heart of Arabia for generations.
Islam is one of the fastest growing religions in the western world today.
Although fighting oppression and promoting justice are valid reasons for waging jihad, forcing people to accept Islam is not one of them.
Muslims ruled Spain for around 800 years yet never coerced people to convert.
• 2 of 5 Deuteronomy 13:6-15 love or kill
you shall not consent to him or listen to him, nor shall your eye pity him, nor shall you spare him or conceal him; 9 but you shall surely kill him your hand shall be first against him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people
Rejecting God isn't a road to God. it's going the opposite direction.
poisoned. So he took it out of his mouth. On the other hand one of his disciples had already swallowed one whole bite. He called the jewish girl and asked her why she did this hinious act. She told him "I thought, If you are a prophet God will save you, if you are not then God will save us" so he forgave her. But then the disciple died so she was tried and sentenced.
After this incident, he lived for 11 years more by God's will.
When he was about to die, God asked him if he wanted eternal life
Look at these comments Muslims and Christians bashing one another. This isn't what I learned going to a churches and mosques in my lifetime. All the people bashing are shaming their own religion.
Just because a certain religion isn't your own doesn't make that religion evil. I'm more happy as a pluralist anyway.
Rabbana dhalamna anfusana, wa illam taghfir lana (O Lord, we have wronged ourselves, and if You do not forgive us)
Wa tarhamna, la nakunanna min al-khasirin (And have mercy on us, we shall certainly be among the lost)
If I am wrong in any way, I will more than happily accept what is right. But my Gospel teaches me that I am doing the right thing by following Christ. It is what I have been born into. The bible mentions the sword of the mouth... The Quran surely only uses the sword.
Part 3:
So, here we see Jesus, the prophet I love, the god you love.
How do we see him? With love and passion?
Or Conquering the nations and spreading the Word of God?
"Showing the other cheek" or "eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth" ?
All I see is him figthing the so called "enemies" of God, conquering them. There can be no "enemy" to God, human can only be an enemy to his own self. God is only to be praised. God is above any praise. May we learn His Great Name.
Muslim argument against critics - People who critise hate.
Now some may hate, some may not, but it is the argument that matters. If you argue that the argument does not matter, you have abandoned you own position and said defending anything is merely calling the other person a hater.
Is this what Islam is? A fist fight because the argument has already been lost?
I think it is, because I know the argument has been lost by muslims and so do they, but the tears that flow are too hard to face
God wants, desires a relationship with man :-
Truly Allah loveth those who turn unto Him Kor 2:222
Allah loveth those who ward off Kor 3:76
Allah loveth the good Kor 3:134
Allah loveth those whose deeds are good. Kor 3:148
Allah loveth those who put their trust Kor 3:159
Allah loveth the kindly Kor 5:13
Allah will bring a people whom He loveth and who love Him Kor 5:54
Man is special, that the creator wants a loving relationship.
But for what purpose?
Dear muslims,
The ideas I am talking about you cannot stop. Once expressed your every action and behaviour confirms their reality. Do you not see once the lie is shown up for what it is it can no longer be maintained.
It eats away at your soul, every time you pray, go to Mosque, see your fellow muslims.
You know I speak the truth and yet am a non-believer.
If you can resolve this issue there is hope for you, if not you are lost forever.
KRISHNA - INDIA: Krishna His nativity heralded by a star, Krishna was born of the virgin Devaki in a cave, which at the time of his birth was miraculously illuminated. The cow-herds adored his birth. King Kansa sought the life of the Indian Christ by ordering the massacre of all male children born during the same night at He. Krishna traveled widely, performing miracles -- raising the dead, healing lepers, the deaf and the blind. The crucified Krishna is pictured on the cross with arms extended
Jesus laid down his life beneath roman hands.
"Greater love has no man but that he lays down his life for his friends."
When Jesus told his disciples he had to die, they had to drink his blood and eat his flesh, many left him, because they found this too hard. In one sense this is spiritually unusual, but this is the nature of love itself, to show sacrifical love for someone while bearing the pain of such a gesture.
How could you tell the love was real unless the price was also real?
According to the Gospel of John, what did Jesus say about bearing his own witness?
(a) "If I bear witness to myself, my testimony is not true"(John 5:31).
(b) "Even if I do bear witness to myself, my testimony is true" (John 8:14).
1. Jesus a prophet brings the message of God to man
2. Jesus the Son shows his relationship to the Father
3. Jesus being God shows his authority and nature
A man is a son, a brother, a father, has a skill of work, is a husband who loves his wife.
It was Jesus and the Father who defined that he had to die.
In one act he forgave all mans sins, showed his heart of love and sacrifice and opened up the way for those who believed to become children of the living God. Only the Lord could do this
P2: Surat Al-Fath, verse 29
In the name of Allah, the Mercifull, the Beneficient
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah ; and those with him are forceful against the disbelievers, merciful among themselves. You see them bowing and prostrating [in prayer], seeking bounty from Allah and [His] pleasure. Their mark is on their faces from the trace of prostration. That is their description in the Torah
Trinities were popular in pagan sects before Christianity was introduced to the world. Some of the more well known trinity gods included Mithra-Vohu Mana-Rashnu, Amen-Mut-Khonsu, and Osiris-Isis-Horus.
This is what Allah says to His prophet:
"It is part of the Mercy of Allah that thou dost deal gently with them. Wert thou severe or harsh-hearted, they would have broken away from about thee: so pass over (their faults), and ask for (Allah's) forgiveness for them; and consult them in affairs (of moment). Then, when thou hast taken a decision, put thy trust in Allah. For Allah loves those who put their trust (in Him). (The Noble Quran, 3:159)"
think about your words and Allah's response to you
You must start to read and learn the Revelations. Enjoy the show.
Hi sister my name is Omar and i am a muslim living in Eu. If you have question about Islam maybe i can help you, If you want you can ask your questions to my sister and cousins (females) and maybe they in sha allah can answer your questions. I pray to God that you find guidance and peace. Because this life is really short and we should think of our afterlife.
Part 2:
He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses.
Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations.
And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron.
He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:
King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Islam - There is a pride within Islam which says we should show our faith on the outside.
The question is what are people showing. Intolerance, hatred, violence, domination, rejection. They believe by showing their dedication they attract more people.
In reality all they are attracting is more analysis and understanding of the ethics and reality behind the faith.
It has no moral strength or sense, merely a blind following of written law dictated by scholars. It does not work, simple
Mohammad - All I ask from you is : Love God more than anything. Love His messengers all and do not discriminate any one of them. Love His creation due to its Creator. Love your Parents. Love your Neighbours. One who sleeps with a full stomach when his neighbour sleeps hungry is not one of us. Love the Orphan, seek their rights. Love your brothers and sisters in faith because you are One Nation and God picked the name : Musluman for this nation.
cen - A few observations
1. You are quoting with a great deal of certainty based on hadiths which others give a different time-line to
2. The story reported implies he suffered greatly for 3-4 years and finally died from the poison.
3. The hadith recording his words near dying are that he felt he was being killed by God.
Now this is what the words say and I am implying an obvious meaning.
Your version is ignoring the record. This is certainly your opinion, but I have just as valid another
It's not a question of being a tourist attraction as much as it is Islam creating an isolationst environment that denigrates what a religion should be...OPEN. There are ways a sacred place can be open without creating a "touristt" attraction. The Qaba itself was built over a pagan temple.
i am muslim, and my brother wanted to know of Christianity so we would go to church together on sunday, and took him to youth group too. :D
Jesus verses Mohammed
Jesus - I have come to set you free. Love your neighbour, love God, love your enemy
"My yoke is easy and my burden is light. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls."
Mohammed - Fear hell, fear unbelief, do everything I tell you like a slave to the littlest command and you will be paradise bound, if Allah is in a good mood.
Here are 531 reasons why you could be doomed to hell
What did the centurion say when Jesus dies? (a) "Certainly this man was innocent" (Luke 23:47). (b) "Truly this man was the Son of God" (Mark 15:39).
I never realized islam could be so funny until I saw "cartoon mo is back"!

For those Christians, who did not turn back from God despite all the torments they suffered at the hands of the satanic Romans and the "would be brothers" Jews of the old, I pray to God that all the wealth of the heavens, the dearest blessings of the God, the most beautiful of everything be upon them and may I be worthy to be called a brother by them, the pure light of the heavens let them be.
The Black guy with no legs is Greg Gadson, he was in the movie Battleship!
Marriage - Marry who you like at any age. As long as the guardian agrees the girl has no say below the age of 13.
Apostates - Anyone who you deem to be apostated, "spreading corruption" you can kill.
Children - Killing your children because they upset you, no problem.
You will find scholars try and dilute some of these concepts, but they are there in the core. When everything is said and done, the intent at the core is all that matters.
They hate it so much they are ashamed.....
Actually, by my pastors and fellow Christians have told me to pray for the Muslims.
In Eritrea, girls can be married as young as 8 years old. Spousal rape is not recognized.
