Ijaz Ahmad Al-Swedi

This is merely your opinion and holds no water. A person who can throw away half of his Bible in the gutter should not really speak about the belief system of other religions. I'm half Pakistani and half Arab, many people move from Pakistan and other countries from ME to western and Europe countries is really not because of Shari'ah (which people like you have been brainwashed with fox news and Sweden Democrats). Many countries in ME don't even have the shari'ah, they've a type of democracy mixed with some laws from the Shar'ah. After the khaleefah was dismantled in 1924, the Muslim world was divided into different countries (a type of 'asabiyyah which is forbidden in Islam) and the Sykes-picot agreement took place. The reason for moving to another country is economical problems in the regions due to presidents taking taxpayers money and having that money in offshore companies. You should maybe educate yourself instead of uttering nonsense. Just an advice, Sir. You really live in a bubble. Democracy does not necessarily equal rights and freedom and people who lack knowledge often conflate or amalgamate democracy with freedom. The other nonsense that you wrote about driving bikes and so forth, um... the wives and daughters of the Prophet (s.a.w.) rode camels which can be said is equivalent to riding a bike today. Saudi Arabia forbid women from driving cars is not from the Shari'ah, however liberal Christians try to smear Islam by using their civil laws to smear the Shari'ah and Islam. The elderly men used to come to 'Aisha to learn the religion, she was a teacher and a knowledgeable muslimah and had immense knowledge about the religion. Furthermore, the witness of women is half in Islam is not in all cases. if you read the context, the verse is talking about financial transactions and since at that time women didn't have knowledge about economy, merchandising and business. So, Islam makes no claim that a woman's testimony is half in any case. If it was in any case, then it'd be impossible for the wife of the Prophet (s.a.w.), `Aishah to narrate ahaadeeth, since her ahaadeeth are mostly ahad (only one narrator).

Andres, before I respond to you, I want to know your background. Are you a liberal Christian?

Delete this... double post!

They try to reform a religion that was completed, a seal was put on. Nothing can be added and subtracted. However, today we have kuffaar trying to reform our religion, it's therefore really important for us to teach our children about our religion so our future generation can establish it. Teach our children the fundamentals i.e., tawheed, kufr bit taghoot and the most important tool, of course the Arabic language! Children grasp languages really quick, so we should teach our children about the religion and its fundamentals! Watch the entire video!

Found also this...

I found this video and it's pure entertainment, you might want to see this with some popcorn. How can a "developed nation" with all its sophisticated weaponry and technology be so wrong? They changed their purpose for "war" several times. Allaah azzawajal exposed them!

Development of society (Perhaps you can elaborate)? You mean open homosexuality? Drinking, music, pornography, strip-clubs, zina, insulting others (so-called freedom of speech or maybe we should rename it to freedom to insult), riba which creates imbalance in the society (how much is the debt of America? debt per person?), warmongering in other nations (foreign policy), public nudity, racism, homelessness and so forth. In what way do your developed society protect the wealth of people? their honor? A woman whose raped, goes to work and pay her taxes. An amount from her taxes goes to prisoners who might be rapists, so in order to protect their rights the government provide food and clothing to them by using the taxpayers money... Ah, perfect justice, isn't it? This is a new form of barbarity and enslavement that people are really blind to see... You either submit to your society or submit to your God who created you, there is no third alternative to take... “A Woman was raped during the time of Messenger of Allaah (s.a.w.) He waived the legal punishment for her and carried it out on the one who had attacked her (i.e., he was put to death), but he (the narrator) did not say that he rules that she should be given a bridal-money.” (Sahih Ibn Majah 2/333 - with an acceptable isnad and in takhrij mishkat al-masabih 3/421 - with an acceptable isnad, graded by Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani (rahimahullaah)) Ibn ‘Abd al-Barr (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: The scholars are unanimously agreed that the rapist is to be subjected to the hadd punishment (put to death) if there is clear evidence against him that he deserves the hadd punishment, or if he admits to that. Otherwise, he is to be punished (i.e., if there is no proof that the hadd punishment for zina may be carried out against him because he does not confess, and there are not four witnesses, then the judge may punish him and stipulate a punishment that will deter him and others like him). There is no punishment for the woman if it is true that he forced her and overpowered her, which may be proven by her screaming and shouting for help. (Al-Istidhkaar, 7/146) I do wonder what country is next on United States of America's list, which is considered as a developed society, using democracy to wage war in other countries and creating chaos. Democracy is just based on desires... for the rich!

Brothers and Sisters in Islam.. Why do we as Muslims need to care about what Christians say about our beloved Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)? Do protestant Christians and Catholics provide us with rizq (livelihood)? So why should we care? We are not accountable to them but to Allaah azzawajal. Furthermore, we shouldn't mock or revile their god (3 in 1), since they may in ignorace insult Allaah azzawajal nor should we insult their Apostle Paul. We love our religion and find tranquility in it. Therefore we should leave that which doesn't concern us, follow the great example of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) who was also sent to perfect good character. On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Part of the perfection of a person’s Islam is his leaving that which is of no concern to him” (40 Hadith Nawawi 12) Insulting the Prophet (s.a.w.) is not something that began in this century, the protestants, catholics, their church fathers and pastors has been doing that since the day the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) got his first revelation and started to preach tawheed (monotheism), opposed shirk (idolatry/polytheism) and preached that Jesus (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was only a Messenger and Prophet of God, and nothing more or less. They made ridiculous claims, had no knowledge of the religion of Islam and frequently insulted the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) according to their desires (ahwa) and not with their intellectual arguments. I live in Sweden and we have certain someone who doesn't know the Arabic language and spreading nonsense about Islam and claims to be an ex-Muslim with immense knowledge. She sees it perfectly fine to use her so-called of freedom of speech to spread anti-Muslim rhetoric in Sweden. “There is also the superstition of the Ishmaelites which to this day prevails and keeps people in error, being a forerunner of the Antichrist…. From that time to the present a false prophet named Mohammed has appeared in their midst. This man, after having chanced upon the Old and New Testaments and likewise, it seems, having conversed with an Arian monk, devised his own heresy. Then, having insinuated himself into the good graces of the people by a show of seeming piety, he gave out that a certain book had been sent down to him from heaven. He had set down some ridiculous compositions in this book of his and he gave it to them as an object of veneration.” -St. John Damascene (d. 749), Syrian Arab Catholic monk and scholar. Quoted from his book On Heresies under the section On the Heresy of the Ishmaelites (in The Fathers of the Church. Vol. 37. Translated by the Catholic University of America. CUA Press. 1958. Pages 153-160.) “On the other hand, those who founded sects committed to erroneous doctrines proceeded in a way that is opposite to this, the point is clear in the case of Muhammad. He seduced the people by promises of carnal pleasure to which the concupiscence of the flesh goads us. His teaching also contained precepts that were in conformity with his promises, and he gave free rein to carnal pleasure. In all this, as is not unexpected, he was obeyed by carnal men. As for proofs of the truth of his doctrine, he brought forward only such as could be grasped by the natural ability of anyone with a very modest wisdom. Indeed, the truths that he taught he mingled with many fables and with doctrines of the greatest falsity. He did not bring forth any signs produced in a supernatural way, which alone fittingly gives witness to divine inspiration; for a visible action that can be only divine reveals an invisibly inspired teacher of truth. On the contrary, Muhammad said that he was sent in the power of his arms—which are signs not lacking even to robbers and tyrants.” -St. Thomas Aquinas (d. 1274), Theologian and Doctor of the Church. Quoted from his De Rationibus Fidei Contra Saracenos, Graecos, et Armenos and translated from Fr. Damian Fehlner’s Aquinas on Reasons for the Faith: Against the Muslims, Greeks, and Armenians (Franciscans of the Immaculate. 2002.). So.... On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Part of the perfection of a person’s Islam is his leaving that which is of no concern to him” (40 Hadith Nawawi 12) Allaah azzawajal is sufficient for us, he has praised his Messenger and Servant, Peace and blessing of Allaah be upon our beloved Prophet!

This is a common argument brought forth by the fundamentalist Christians living in Sweden and other parts of the world. Some of these people have strong hatred towards Muslims and Islam because it challenges and denies many parts of their theology and christology. In fact, if the Qur'an had one verse (refuting and criticizing them taking Jesus as ilah), they'd still call it a revelation from satan and would slander the Prophet (s.a.w.) as an anti-christ. It's about the content! Allaah subhaanahu wa ta'ala says in the Qur'aan: O you who have believed, enter into submission to Allaah completely and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy. (2:208) O mankind, eat from whatever is on earth that is lawful and good and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy. (2:168) And of the grazing livestock are carriers [of burdens] and those [too] small. Eat of what Allaah has provided for you and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy. (6:142) So he made them fall, through deception. And when they tasted of the tree, their private parts became apparent to them, and they began to fasten together over themselves from the leaves of Paradise. And their Lord called to them, "Did I not forbid you from that tree and tell you that Satan is to you a clear enemy?" (7:22) And tell My servants to say that which is best. Indeed, Satan induces dissension among them. Indeed Satan is ever, to mankind, a clear enemy. (17:53) Indeed, Satan is an enemy to you; so take him as an enemy. He only invites his party to be among the companions of the Blaze. (35:6) Did I not enjoin upon you, O children of Adam, that you not worship Satan - indeed, he is to you a clear enemy (36:60) And never let Satan avert you. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy. (43:62)

Yes akhi, I'm from Sweden, born in Sweden and living in Stockholm right now. I'm half Arab and half Pakistani.

The American government is for the most part approaching the Islamic world and the ME with the same imperial hubris with which the Brit. approached their many colonists and we all know where that led. The American government has put itself and her allies in harms way. Bush after the horrible incident of 9/11 which I condemn strongly, said, "They hate us for our freedoms", though it's a good line propaganda, but it's far from the truth. A letter was sent by Khalid Shaikh Mohammad (9/11 planner) to Obama, he wrote the following:

I disagree, it's become worse. Under the Obama Administration thousands of civilians were killed by drone strikes. 10 times more than under Bush II. How much more blood must be spilled for stupid people to realize the US government doesn't give a flying **** about civilians in Iraq, Syria, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Somalia, Iran(?) and the list goes on. Terrorism in US and her allies has increased, in fact it's increased tenfold since they invaded Muslim countries unlawfully. Andres, who told US to solve our problems? They are not the caretakers of this world. The west blames Islam for terrorist acts that happens in US and her allies. It's forbidden in Shari'ah to kill unarmed men, women and children. US kills innocent people, they should be blamed for radicalizing many Muslims and for Anti-America sentiments in majority Muslim countries. Even I hate America for their foreign policy. Just pray that Iran is not next...

The Prophet (s.a.w.) is better than Ali, he was chosen to deliver the Message of God while Ali wasn't chosen to do that!! Muhammad (s.a.w.) is mentioned as a mercy sent to the 'alameen. I can write more points if you want. Ask Allaah for guidance you need it, especially when you have made such vile remarks!!!!

@Jaffery15 Are you serious? Ask Allaah for guidance! You really need it! Especially the Ali and revelation part... he didn't get any revelation nor was he a Prophet. Astaghfirullah!

Where is the 12th Imam mentioned in the Qur'aan? Perhaps, it'd be great if you could start out by citing a verse to establish that there is a 12th Imam who will return and dig out Abu bakr and Umar from their graves and kill them, lol. Does the Qur'aan say that someone will return? Mahdi? Jesus? Since this is a matter of eschatology, God mentions the steps of making wudu in the Qur'aan, he mentions even small details, furu' al-din (salat, zakah, fast, khums etc.), but doesn't mention something that is so important, the return of your 12th Imam!!!! Well dear brother, the most enlightened Shi'ah scholar is not that learned if his interpretation contradict the context of the Qur'aan, the book of Allaah. Maybe your scholars need some lessons how to read and especially READING IN CONTEXT. From 4:153 to 4:161, these verses are about Jews. I'd advice you to read these verses several times and then point out to me where Christianity is mentioned in these verses. You can even get some help from your "most learned" Shi'ah scholars. Your "most learned" scholar said: "...has not died and that he will come down before the Day of Resurrection and then the People of the Book, the Jews and the Christians, will believe in him... " I do wonder, how Christians came into 4:153-161. P.S: I don't take anything from answering-christianity Peace..
