Islam: Guilty or Innocent?
(Page 3 of 3)
At the heart of every religion there are superficially conflicting and contradictory passages, nonetheless, we should air on the side of good not evil if we want to honor Allah. Did not the Almighty Allah tell Prophet Muhammad: “…but we made you (Muhammad) not one to watch over their doings, nor are you set over them to dispose of their affairs” (
Surat
Al-An’am 6:107). who gave the right to any terrorist to kill his Muslim brethren as well as disbelievers in Islam If Allah, in His supreme suzerainty, had instructed His Prophet not to meddle in non-Muslims’ lives?
And finally we read: “…Surely, Allah loves not the transgressors” (Surat Al-Bakara 2:191), And: “Allah forbids you not, with regard to those who fight you not for (your) Faith nor drive you out of your homes, from dealing kindly and justly with them: for Allah loves those who are just. Allah only forbids you, with regard to those who fight you for (your) Faith, and drive you out of your homes, and support (others) in driving you out, from turning to them (for friendship and protection). It is such as turn to them (in these circumstances), that do wrong” (
Surat
Al-Mumtahina 60:8-9). I do not read any verse in the Qur’an that speaks of Allah’s wishes, accordingly, terrorists’ martyrdom is false, their beliefs are baseless, and their self-proclaimed turned militant ulemas and their fatwas are worthless because they are contrary to Allah’s stern ordinances.
In the global war on terrorism, mainly perpetrated by Muslims all over the globe; the Free World calls on all honest, sincere, Allah fearing and loving Muslims to dwarf the dangers and harms levied by their brethren, represented by the fundamentalist, terrorist and jihadist factions.
Like the Israelites, honest peaceful and Allah fearing Muslims should start praying for the rain, as they shall know no rest, they shall experience no security, and they shall taste no peace until they help restore to this world its serenity, its equilibrium and equanimity by joining the forces of good to make of this world a better one. Then the bells of God-given “Freedoms”, “World Peace” coupled with real “Tolerant and Merciful Co-habitation” will toll in their and our midst.
No Muslim has the right to ask others to do what he or she can’t and will not do. If the Muslims are sincere to the letter and spirit of “Mercy” and “Tolerance”, I implore them, in the Name of Allah, whom you profess to worship, to get off your high wooden horses, get rid of your fanaticism, and join the forces of good in this world with clean hands, minds and hearts. Then when we together help ourselves, God and Allah will bless this world with real peace and co-habitation.
The terrorists hoist a flag of an Allah who is not the All-Forgiving All-Merciful Allah we all know, giver of goodness and peace to all his creatures, without exception, to non-believers before even believers; according to His word, the following two verses from the Qur’an and the Bible should always be our guiding light:
“May Allah change the animosity between you and them into love. Allah is Omnipotent. Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” (
Surat
Al-Mumtahina 60:7) and “Mercy and Truth have met each other; Justice and Peace have kissed.” (Psalm 85:10)
