RE:To indian muslims
by on May 19, 2007 10:48 AM

My dear bro, Islam is not a religion that one carries from his/her ancestors. Islam is a religion of FAITH in the oneness of the almighty Allah. Its the Iman that needs to be strong and not the length of your lineage that makes a good Muslim. Since Prophet Muhammed (saw) came in Arab it doesn't mean only Arabs are muslim. Islam is a religion for the whole mankind as mentioned in the Quran
'And verily We have displayed for MANKIND in this Quran all the manners of similitudes, but man is more than anything contentious' (chapter-18, Al-Kahf, verse-54)

'...This is a scripture which We have revealed unto thee that thereby thou must bring forth MANKIND from darkness unto light, by the permission of their lord, unto the path of Mighty the Owner of praise' (chapter-14, Ibrahim, verse-1)
As far as the on going discussion is considered about the meaning of Islam and other craps related to it then one should know that the Islam comes from the root word %u2018salaam%u2019, which means peace. It also means
submitting one%u2019s will to Allah (swt). Islam never resort to violence to spread the its word as it is in the Quran capter-16 Nahl, verse-125
'Invite (all) to the way of thy Lord
with wisdom and beautiful preaching;
and argue with them in ways that are
best and most gracious.'

There is no copulsion in the religion as stated in Quran chapter-2 verse-256
'Let there be no compulsion in religion:
Truth stands out clear from error'

It is baseless that a person can be behind the blasts if he is a true muslim. Also for even a layman the bias of the state police is clear after the firing on the local mob which generally isn't the case if the mob had been of the majority community. Their calling of bandh wouldn't have been seen as a disturbance of local peace.

Oh you brothers plz open your eyes and see the truth. Is this the state of most Secular nation India?
