    Nationalism as opposed to Religion?

    Could you please give me an example of a contradiction? (just one verse at a time, don't copy paste huge amounts from misleading anti-Islamic sites)

    Nationalism as opposed to Religion?

    Hmm? its the debate between a muslim and an atheist, there is a whole stack of relevant material if you scroll down. If you'd rather though, watch from 40 minutes onward (more entertaining but less proofs): youtube. com/watch?v=Hf62zfjHVjg

    Nationalism as opposed to Religion?

    Not true for Islam. Just very briefly and off the top of my head: Okay, in Islamic terminology: religious text consists of 2 factors- "matn" and "isnad". "Matn" is the text; for example, "The book of Isiah". The "isnad" is the chain of narration: Who told who (who was told by who(who was told...

    Nationalism as opposed to Religion?

    Of course. Stuff that sounds strange to you or discriminatory to you right now will seem perfectly normal 500 years from now, because human morals are always unfortunately decided by humans. Adultery seems moral? Okay, no prob. Homosexuality seems okay? Yup, no prob. We just decide on what we...

    The problem with christianity is that there is no way you can prove that you are following the teachings of the Prophets.

    Nationalism as opposed to Religion?

    Agreed. Non Muslims have rights under a caliphate. Obviously. Conscription cannot be applied to non-muslims under a Muslim state. Zakat tax is generally higher than Jizya tax. So really, being a Muslim you give more to the state than being a non-Muslim. Zakat must go to Muslims, but sadaqah...

    Nationalism as opposed to Religion?

    I agree. Bad habit of some Muslims. The science is accurate but should only be used as signs. Islam is a framework to live the life God wants us to live, and God ordains this framework so that humanity benefits. The guidance is in the Qur'an. It's up to us to follow it, and the rest follows...

    Nationalism as opposed to Religion?

    The science in the Qur'an is put in there so scientists of the modern day can look into it and say "hmm, there is no way a human being could have written this book" and then convert- people like Keith Moore, for example. Islam is very much based on striving for education. The scientific verses...

    Nationalism as opposed to Religion?

    If it's well documented, I'd like to see these facts. Here's an example of religious tolerance among the muslims much later than the Prophet: The Ottoman Empire, Read about their well known relations with non muslims here: lostislamichistory. com/non-muslim-rights-in-the-ottoman-empire/ No...

    Nationalism as opposed to Religion?

    Could you please provide historically accurate sources on the aims of these conquerors? Like just a list of their names, their treatment toward non-arabs as civilians, and their thinking. Could you please provide sources on this so called forced conversion that happened during the expansion of...

    God bless him bro! I had no idea he used to be an atheist. May Allah grant him and all of us Jannah :)

    I prefer to refer these as well: - Prophecies (e.g. Surah Rum, Surah Al-Masad) - Linguistic Miracle

    Nationalism as opposed to Religion?

    Somewhat irrelevant: Have you guys watched any of those youtube lectures by Nouman Ali Khan? Really popular western speaker, originally Pakistani. Popular among the non-Muslim crowd too. You guys should check out his lectures- it was one of the ways I fell in love with Islam/the Qur'an.

    Nationalism as opposed to Religion?

    I think that it worked fairly well. Sure, Muslims aren't following the sunnah of the Prophet right now but if you have a look at the Islamic empire, there were a huge number of different races all united under the name of Islam. It wasn't just the arabs taking control of everything, nor were...

    Nationalism as opposed to Religion?

    But what if I have proof God 100% exists? Don't I owe far more to God than to the place I was born (which in turn was given from God too?)? Then he got it wrong, if he wanted to unite Pakistan based on religion he should have given thought to a caliphate and established Islamic scholars in...

    I don't really understand this - and I'm not trying to offend - but why would you put your nation over your duty to God?

    Nationalism as opposed to Religion?

    I like to work with facts. Stop making assertions without giving evidence. In the meantime you might like to read a biography of the Prophet Muhammad (saw), they generally give an accurate historical depiction of the life of the arabs before Islam.

    Nationalism as opposed to Religion?

    This is a good point. In the Islamic state the non-Muslims are under the protection of the Muslims. It does not go both ways. When war occurs, Muslim men are required to fight but non-Muslims are not. They can decline. Also, under the Islamic state, Muslims must pay more tax than non-Muslims...
