    Police (OP)




    I'm a muslim, living in England. I was wondering what the Islamic stance is on a muslim joining the police? Considering my job would be to restore law and order to the streets?

    I don't think that the police force actively instructs their officers to target muslims for excess violence. Also, if you people are saying that the entire police is corrupt, muslim beaters, judged by the actions of the minority, isn't this the same as people labelling muslims terrorists on the actions of a few?

    Also, if a muslim was causing unrest, should he not be arrested? We are told to abide by the laws of the country we live in.

    Please keep them coming, they are extremely helpful, and giving me a little insight

    Re: Police

    The police have a great part in running the country. They should be seen as a greater authority buy the public, if there were more Muslims in the police force then I would hope more Muslims would respect the police as so many seem not to.

    Re: Police

    I'm not syaing all police are evil. A nice policeman gave me directions yesterday. What i'm trying to say is that you may be put in a situation where you are forced to harm a fellow Muslim or stand by and watch. What with all the power police are given with these anti-terror laws... I think it's wrong for a Muslim to be part of such a force.

    Rubbish! If there were more Muslims in the police then they could help stop these so called actions you speak of.

    I agree! If there were muslims in the police force, thats one way they would be in a position where they can do anything about all this unfair treatment, and brutality.

    So would peoples feelings be the same about a muslim firefighter? He could be in a situation where he would have to deal with a non-mahram woman, carrying her out of a fire.

    Just wondering

    I don't have any problems with you, i just don't like the power police are given. And to be honest, i don't like or trust the police after the Babar Ahmad case. Some of the laws in this country are totally unislamic. I can be arrested just for supporting the resistance in countries like Iraq or Palestine, even verbally. Is that justice? Oh yeah and I can still suupport the IRA mind you.
    So no i don't think you would get any problems with me, i just don't like the police force.

    u r absolutely right there. In a sense, who will better understand sensitivity and the plight of the muslim community than the muslim themselves? If only there is a muslim officer in the force, i'm sure that they will brings a slight difference to the police force where the muslims are concerned. This applies to all kind of profession which are in principal with the Islamic Sharia Laws. I do believe that the muslim community must sincerely try to make a difference, to integrate and represented themselves in the local community.

    In brother Dish Dash word exactly, we must stand up and be counted....

    Well maybe due to the fighting she had to shout? I've to been searched a fair amount of times when i was a bit younger, was it to because of the colour of my skin (i'm white)?

    Correct me if i'm wrong, but surely all of us must know and realise that as a muslim we have to fulfilled 2 obligations. Firstly are those which falls under the Fardh-Ain and secondly, those which falls under the Fardh-Kifayah. Things like prayer (namaz), fasting, hajj etc falls into the first category. Things like what we do as a living, for example, falls into the later. However, there are certain things when this Fardh-Kifayah things bacome Fardh-Ain. Take the question asked in this thread as a good example for this. To be a police is a Fardh-Kifayah for the muslim in general. So does other jobs such as a doctors, engineers, teachers etc.... What would have become to the muslim community in the whole if all muslims have a very narrow minded perspective on life? Everything is haram, without even any slight conscience on it. Can u imagine if all muslim prohibits the woman from becoming doctors? Asked yourself, would u rather have a male doctor or a muslimah doctor to accompany your wife during labour? So, please.... refrained ourselves from falling into this malady. Truly, the right things have been clearly estinguished from error.

    Peace...
    look i think that comparing the role of a doctor and a police officer doesn't m8k sence. purely because doctors are there to save lives and in many countries police officers are allowed to t8k lives. which should a muslim be considering the charaacter of a muslim and the conflict within the police force with your views and thiers:sister:
