agreeds,alot of non-muslims are buying land


"ABD Allah ibn 'Amr said, "I went to the Prophet (peace be upon him) one
day whilst he was performing Wudu' (ablution) slowly and carefully. He
raised his head, looked at me and said, 'Six things will happen to this
Ummah: the death of your Prophet - 'and when I heard that I was aghast,' -
this is the first. The second is that your wealth will increase so much
that if a man were given ten thousand, he would still not be content with
it. The third is that tribulation will enter the house of every one of
you. The fourth is that sudden death will be widesprea. The fifth is a
peace-treaty between you and the Romans: they will gather troops against
you for nine months - like a woman's period of childbearing - then they
will be the first to break the treaty. The sixth is the conquest of a
city.' I asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, which city?' He said,
'Constantinople." (Ahmad.)

I'm sure it will be nice. :) However, the beauty of a house of worship is not in it's architecture, but in it's worshippers.

how dare you speak of arabs in such a manner. just because you might not have seen them with beards doesnt make them any worse than yourself. Dont think that just because you may be practising and so on that you can go around speaking ill of others. what knowledge have you acquired and who have you studied under to go around making such statements? There are good and bad amongst every nation. You have no right to single out arabs or anyone else for that matter.

I'm not an Arab myself, but i spent a lot of time studying in Saudi so i can say i know a fair bit about them.

Oh come on. I am not against arabs of course. U call Dubai a muslim land and most of the arabs living there good muslims then. What with running about in sinful clothes as in the west.

And building massive structures costing billions of dollars when they could have been using the same money feeding needy muslim countries where people are dying of starvation. Ok I agree that Dubai needs to develop its tourism as it is running out of oil but they are just pouring money into their extravagant construction like an unused river pours water into the sea.

Someone also said here that we should appreciate the non muslim tolerance. That someone is being too optimistic. I should tell you that there is no Islamic law which allows you to tolerate non muslim activities to such an extent that they begin dominating MUSLIM culture in ISLAMIC territory?

I didn't mean to offend anyone but this is actually the truth.

We may be no scholars. But what we are saying is logical. Honestly. A 12 year old kid who is brought up as a moderate Muslim would tell you that what Dubai is doing is very wrong. Again i say. I am not against Arabs as a whole but just against Dubai.

But i don't think there is a law which says the opposite. I remember even The Prophet himself have nothing against to non-muslims and their place of worships (like churches). Dubai gives them only the land to build the worship place, they are not invest their money in the building.

depends where you stay. in the touristy areas, no you wont find masjids but there may be prayer rooms in the hotels.

Otherwise if you go into muslim areas or like dubai city centre youll find masjids all over...

but yes there are nice things in dubai though on a whole it seems theyve lost the plot

and are you the same member as orn by any chance? if not, then i believe mizan_aliashraf was replying to his last statement in particular, not what you said...

Thankyou sister, and the others that have made nice comments. :statisfie

To that cretin who made Astufrigllah (sp) comment, you're clearly deluded! This shows that Muslims are tolerant of other Religions, it is also true Sikhism was told it will flourish worldwide, as it is. Unlike other Relgions Sikhs do not convert others, they have a Sikh comminity there which needs a Gurdwara. Now, some of you stupid fanatics, obviously show no tolerance like the amicable Muslims. I'm so glad you are in the minority!

If the sikh wish to have a place of worship in so-called Muslim lands, they should apply for a permit and pay for it, like everyone else does..
If this indeed came from Muslim money then all I can say is what an abomination!

I don't know whether they pay taxes or not and that is auxiliary to the fact.. I pay taxes here, and still if we want to erect a mosque, we pay for it and get a permit.. so my opinion is still, that this is an abomination if done by Muslim money.. since sikhs aren't even people of the book.. basically we are bringing paganism back!

I stick to my opinion.In this time of intolerance its a great sign to show the muslims are not so against-others. I didn't followed the event but even with the Pope they had a meeting :-[ to improve the relations with catholics. I am sure if the sikh would have bought alone the land would not be the same. and don't forget the gudwara costs the sikhs will pay for it.

I didn't realise you lived in UAE...Considering that's what we're talking about...

And if you want to dicuss paganism, well don't get me started on Islam! (not that I want to) So, saying Sikhism is a Pagan religion is offensive to me! So happy people like you are not in charge of such matters. Because the Shiekh obviously has braincells!

I have no probs with them having a place of worship whatsoever.. I do have a problem however, knowing that Muslims look into garbage to break their fast in Ramadan in areas like palestine, are refugees and going to bed hungry in their own lands, while 'sofaha'a' aka profligate leaders waste Money that rightly belongs to Muslims by Islamic law erecting pagan temples ...

Its a land. I am sure the leaders in questions have enough money to give for food too if they would wish to do that. But i think they read the economic theory related to food and decided to step back. So... You have no reason to be angry. I am delighted a small minority of other religion will have a place where to go and worship. :)

Well, its not and giving land to the Sikhs won't make it any less Islamic.
Sometimes acts of tolerance are worth more than the money they cost. Saying the money is misplaced is a joke, seeing what else is being built there.

Even if it were a hundred dollar gurdwa--, that would suffice to feed an x number of families.. It isn't about how much or how little.. it is the principal, that money that belongs to Muslims by Islamic law, be it in UAE or Brunei would be misplaced.. I don't approve of UAE giving a gift of this nature, anymore than I approve the son of the sultan or Brunei giving a 15 million dollar necklace to the prostitute Mariah carey..

It is really that simple..

Gurdwara - Sikhism House of Worship....

Personally, I wont call Sikhism as Paganism as they are strictly monotheistic.

There are many Sikhs living in Dubai without any house of worship.. by giving a piece of land for them to satisfy their spiritual needs is kinda good thing right?

There are more than 100 gurdwaras in Malaysia, the Sikhs never did any crazy kind of worship and interrupted the other people's lives..

They even give free vegetarian food....

I don't say non Muslims should not be tolerated in Dubai. I am not an extremist. I am not against churches and other non muslim worshipping places in Dubai. I am just angry at the muslims there since they are adopting the wrong ways of non muslims and that is strictly prohibited in Islam

okay I may have gone overboard with all the arabs statement and I am sorry for that but I do know people who are arabs and does the exact opposite of what islam teaches us and even though they describe themselves as muslims,they're muslim by namesake which will benefit them in no way,I'm not against arabs as a whole just against the black sheeps(which will be in all communities regardless of faith) and I just hate the how the bedouins treat their women(as was shown on al-jazeera) I really dont know the other bedouin tribes but the one's al-jazeera had shown was somewhere from the Middle East,and Arabs from Saudi Arabia are really different from the arabs from Dubai faithwise

You are wrong here. Its named The Golden Temple and i think will become another major atraction for tourists. Because the sikhs will invest a large budget in gurdwara. (will be ready in 18 months :) Also, if i read correctly the land can be bought only by UAE citizen, thats why they got the land like gift. And the major interest of the governemnt its to mentain the religious tolerance between the population :).

And the major interest of the governemnt its to mentain the religious tolerance between the population :).
See, this explains it!:)

Yes, the government another major interest its to develop the tourism (more money from here than the oil which its planned to be finished upto 2010) and this is a great oportunity for them too. Not to mention it will be the second gurdwara in UAE and except the land the government will not give any money for it.
