I honestly think we are corrupting Islam.
We should NEVER interwine Islam with our political agenda like Iran does.
Here are some points I was thinking for the past few days:
1.) Why are we even fighting with Israel? The Israelis, though not perfect, are generally fair people and I don’t see any gain from fighting them.
the message of islam includes a political message, yes iran mixes it up with its own nationalistic ambitions but still islam is political and includes a whole different state system, to deny shariah is part of islam is kufr.
2.) I am 100% sure most members of Hezbollah and Al-Quaeda know extremely little about Islam. in Islam, knowledge is holier than a martyr’s blood. Shouldn’t we devote out time actually worshipping and learning about Islam than fighting a futile and unjustified battle?
wrong, read their statements, you might disagree with the way they use the evidence but it is clear they know a great deal more about islam than you and more and spend much of their time away from the battlefields studying it.
3.) It’s relatively easy to root for your fellow Muslim brothers when you’re in a Western society not living in the conditions faced by Israel and Palestine.
agreed, so why arent u?
Allah has made it easy for you but yet you still make it hard for yourself.
4.) NEVER, and I mean NEVER, should we use Islam for our political agenda. What we are doing is not only un-Islamic, it is something out Prophet has never done. If we make treaties with our Jewish brethrens, then we are obliged to commit to it.
they have broken their treaties with us again and again.
also how can you have a treaty with someone who is killing your own brothers and sisters? wake up, we are one brotherhood in islam.
5.) It was the JEWS, and not out selfish Arab brothers, who actually provided land for Palestinians, though little. From what I remember, Jordan took parts of Palestine as well.
The arab nationalists will answer for their own crimes, the zionist jews for theirs. and the land was palestinian in the first place, if someone steals your house but kindly gives you back your garden shed would you thank him or still want to kill him?
6.) Let’s be honest. One of the reasons for the hostility is because we are blindly following certain groups due to religious affiliation. Our Prophet treated Jews kindly, and yet were are the naïve Muslims propagating suicide bombings and killing people who could care less of our affairs.
yes and when they betraid him he (saws) had them all killed and expelled, there is a lesson from the sunnah here also for us.
7.) This whole Jihad and martyrdom act is stupid. Our religion is not being attacked by Israelis. Why are we making this a religious agenda?? Live and let live. Follow the Quran and quit being hypocrites!!! Because of our associating Islam with our futile and greedy ambitions, we are not corrupting Islam, we are giving this glorious faith a bad name as well.
Denying Jihad is part of islam means denying islam in its entirity, you cannot pick and choose which bits you follow.
8.) A wise Muslim would stay out of other people’s business. Probably Palestine has been taken unjustly, but what does that have to do with Islam? Why is Iran involved with all this? I understand that Israel has a long way to go, but unless we become Islamic and civilized, they will always fear. And fear brings out the worst of humanity in such situations
If you disagree with anything, please post explaining why.
Salaam
because we are one brotherhood, we have allowed ourselves to be divided up and become nationalistic, the muslims in palestine, iraq, afghanistan and chechnya are as much my brothers as the ones who live down the road and go to my local mosque.
if i turned my back on them and didnt feel their pain then my imaan is lacking, why are YOU not hurting for your brothers and sisters?
wa alaykumus salaam,
