AN APPEAL TO ALL INDIAN MUSLIMS

in the light of these recent tragic blasts, involving the support of even some local muslims, the responsibility for which has been claimed by the indian muhajiddeen, i would like to use this as a forum to reach out to indian muslims...

the indian muhajidden wishes to liberate india from all religions other than islam and opposes those muslims who talk of peace with "hindus and other infidels"... those bastards don't know that very popularly, the quran bans compulsion in religion! (something tht guru teg bahadur mentioned in his letter to aurangzeb)... they are brainwashed, only told a few passages of the quran asking them to fight the enemies of allah without proper context and are brainwashed to believe that all non-muslims are enemies of allah...

"whosoever killeth a human being for other than manslaughter or corruption in the earth, it shall be as if he had killed all mankind, and whoso saveth the life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind." (Quran 5:32)

"Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out Clear from Error: whoever rejects Evil and believes in God Almighty hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks. And God heareth and knoweth all things." (Quran 2:256, quoted by guru teg bahadur and frequently by akbar)

even insulting non-muslims is banned in islam, killing innocent people is a far cry...

"And insult not those whom they worship besides Allah, lest they insult Allah wrongfully without knowledge." [al-An’aam 6:108]

"The most excellent Jihad is that for the conquest of self." (Bukhari)

thus, jihad includes destroying the evils within you... it may also involve killing, but not innocent people...

the Quran clearly states that a muslim has to fight against evil, not against all non- muslims...

"God forbids you not, with regard to those who fight you not for (your) Faith nor drive you out of your homes, from dealing kindly and justly with them: for God loveth those who are just" (Quran 6:8)

"Keep to forgiveness, and enjoin kindness." Qur'an 7:199-200

anyone who has watched the hindi movie 'dor' will recall how the person who killed someone else in a gulf country was spared his sentence because the dead person's wife signed the 'mafinama'...

it is not as though some muslims in these organisations would not be aware of these references in the quran and hadith, but they mould religion only for personal interest... they give a wrong picture of islam, which as per islam, makes them the biggest sinners...

A certain companion of Prophet Muhammad asked him: ‘Who is the worst of all creatures?” He answered: “Don’t ask me question about bad things, but ask me a question about good things. The worst of all creatures are the wicked scholars (i.e. , those who do not practice what they say).”

Another Hadith says:

“The punishment of Allah will descend more speedily upon the wicked scholars than on the common sinners. They will be astonished to see this, and will say: “Why is the punishment of Allah inflicted on us before even the worst of sinners?” They will be answered thus: “Those who transgressed in spite of having knowledge of Religion are more guilty than those who had not this knowledge.”

thus, islam teaches you to be peace-loving, tolerant and humane... isa (jesus christ) is also a prophet as per islam, and his book was the Bible, which as permuslims, got edited by humans, so in conflict with the Quran, the latter is to be considered authoritative... so, let's quote jesus where his teachings don't conflict with the quran...

"Peter! Put it down! Those who live by the sword shall die by the sword."

"Love those who hate you, bless those who curse you and pray fort those who ill-treat you."

as per the quran, there were 1.24 lakh prophets in different parts of the world, and it is not unnatural to assume that some leggacy of these messengers of God would have survived... using this rationale, the poet iqbal described shri ram as 'imam-e-hind', the proiphet sent to india, whose life conveys the teachings of prophet muhammad...

this apart, gautam buddha is arguably mentioned in the quran... The mid-twentieth century scholar, Hamid Abdul Qadir, in his Buddha the Great: His Life and Philosophy (Arabic: Budha al-Akbar Hayatoh wa Falsaftoh), postulates that the Prophet Dhu’l-Kifl, meaning “the one from Kifl,” mentioned twice in the Quran (21.85 and 38.48) as patient and good, refers to Shakyamuni Buddha. Qadir explains that “Kifl” is the Arabicized form of Kapila, short for Kapilavastu, the bithplace of Buddha. He also mentions that the Qur’anic mention of the fig tree (95.1-5) refers to Buddha as well, since he attained to enlightenment at the foot of one. Several scholars accept this theory and, as support for this position, point out that the eleventh-century Muslim historian of India, al-Biruni, referred to Buddha as a Prophet. Some scholars also associate the prophesied future Buddha Maitreya, the Loving or Merciful One, with the Prophet Mohammed as the servant of the Merciful One.

Islamic law, specifically during the Arab rule of Sindh from the eighth to the tenth centuries CE, however, extended the concept of “people of the Book” to the Buddhists there and granted them the same status and rights as the Christians and Jews under Arab rule had.
