many non Muslims will take advantage of that section . They will do a free publicity of their faiths . This forum is not to glorify other religions but Islam .

These happened in the past .
 
havent given it much thort, but


If we do, we will give birth to too much debate, arguments etc...

Im concerned about the mods lol, your work will be cut out for you hehe

That being said...sometimes debates are healthy...Alhamdulillah
 
I voted no, by the same reasons as sister Muslim Woman. Kind of section is a great place to create confusion, fighting and it gathers to here those whose don´t respect the Islamic values of this forum.

Better leave it closed.
 
Greetings and peace be with you all,

I voted yes, because we have to share this one world together, despite all our differences.

In the spirit of praying to 'One God'

Yes I think it should re-open. It is a section for us muslims ask non-muslim members some questions about their faith and they have the chance to answer. There are already many threads in the other sections of the forum about other religions which suit to this section. It is our duty to keep it civil. Surely it must be moderated.
 
How if the section name changed into "Interfaith Understanding", with purpose to make people from different faiths can understand each other and coexist better?.

The term "Comparative Religion" can accidentally motivate people compare one religion with other religions with purpose to declare that "My religion is better than yours!"
 
The comparative religion section last time it was opened was a less about Comparative religion and more about bashing each other to death, furthermore learning about other faiths can easily be done outside this forum. So I voted keep it shut.
 
Walaikumaslaam,

Forgive me i don't use that particular section of the forum but that doesn't mean it's not useful.

I think it's a good section to have as long as the discussions remain respectful on both sides.
 
Based on the reasons given by sisters Muslim Woman and Sister Herb, I voted no.

The model for our understandings of and interactions with everyone and everything lies in the Sunnah of our beloved Nabi Muhammad :saws:. Unfortunately, the Ummah doesn’t seem to be fully informed of this – let alone have it internalized.

Here’s a pretty common example:

An unwise remark is made by a seemingly practicing Muslim towards a Muslim man with, let’s say no beard or trousers below the ankles. Due to the indiscretion of the former, the latter – and some observers – are incensed. Since this type of scenario is pretty common, certain people have attempted to solve this problem in order to save the Ummah.

To do so, some of these people have stated that we should put aside our intra-Faith differences and unite to focus on those trying to destroy Islam. Statements such as “We are busy fighting about the length of the beard while the enemies of Islam are chopping off our heads” are accepted as wisdom by many in the Ummah. At face value, I personally agree with the aforementioned.

However, upon closer analysis, it’s found that the crux of the matter is the former Muslim’s inappropriate actions (in the above scenario). That is the problem. The problem doesn’t lie with the Prophet’s :saws: commands of lengthening the beard and keeping the lower garment above the ankles. The ramifications of such reformist statements eliminate orders of the Shariah to achieve an imagined and elusive unity. Instead of solving the problem, it unwittingly makes it worse – as this type of thinking can be extended to the Declaration of Faith itself.

Instead of being told to throw out the baby with the bathwater, we should be told to rectify and reform everything in our life (i.e. communication methods) according to the Sunnah of our beloved Nabi Muhammad :saws:. Each and everything that our Master :saws: brought needs to be emphasized as necessary. This emphasis, however, must be in accordance with proper understanding of the limits of Shariah.

Before we go to understand others, we need to understand ourselves. We need to have a firm grounding in what our beloved Nabi Muhammad :saws: brought us. That will allow us to fruitfully coexist with everyone.

Non-Muslims certainly existed during the time of Nabi :saws:. How did he understand them? How did he treat them? What was his approach to inter-Faith understanding? Would he accept anything else other than what was given to him by Allah as Truth?

The answers to these questions are available to us – in Islam. None of these things are new.

Muslims should beware of giving credence to any Deen other than the one that was brought by our beloved Nabi Muhammad :saws:. A Muslim’s love for humanity has to be tempered with the guidance of our beloved Nabi :saws:.

In need of duas.
 
Why is there even a poll about it?

The section should clearly be open for the purpose of Dawah and to Enjoining the Good and Forbidding the Evil,
 
Hard to make a solid decision on this.

I like the comparative religion section but sometimes people get over zealous and things get out of hand...

Still, it is an interesting section for me personally and I like that section a lot.


:peace:
 
I vote no. Non muslims may start fights and heavy debates to prove our religion wrong and would have the free will to say whatever. Such freedom, I believe, should not be given.
 
How are they gonna have free will and o say whatever?

This is an Islamic forum, supposed to be moderated by competent mods,
 
:sl:

In the name of comparison / debate / discussions , many non Muslims used to bash Prophet Muhammed pbuh ( may Allah forgive us and guide them ) . Before became a Mod here , i found that section hard to tolerate . Many times , i thought of leaving this forum because of that section . I am happy that this section is closed and no one can write nasty words there about young marriage of Aisha ra , marriage of Zainab ra etc .
