    Dear EjazR, would you be kind enough to tell me which of the works of sir seyyed ahmed khan you have read? Also are you a muslim, if so mazhabi or deeni. This will save me explaining things you may already know. Thanks and all the best.

    Thank you dear ashokdeiva for your advice but if you could kindly bear with me for the explanation, hope it will help. The world in which we live people have their own definitions of good and evil, beneficial and harmful. It is for this reason we cannot build a better world if we do not first...

    Dear ashokdeiva, thank you for stating the these values but these are common values of all religions and if you read my posts I started with these values. They are but not sufficient on their own to bring peace because they are only a part of a link of a chain or mechanism for bringing the peace...

    Dear ashokdeiva, that was my point that all religions were originally divine rules of law till they were turned by rulers into meaningless concepts that have little or no effect on reality. They all taught peace but unfortunately the distortion succeeded as regard all other scriptures save the...

    Dear ashokdeiva, religious beliefs are not something we are born with but they are just ideas that we learn from our cultures we are born in like languages we speak. That means we can correct these ideas if we could realise where they are wrong. This is how humanity has been moving forward and...

    Dear ashokdeiva, we are not arguing over make beliefs but what is and is not based on evidence. Make belief divide us and certainties are likely to unite us. People cannot live peacefully while they are divided because then wars will continue as they have been so unity is inevitable but on what...

    Dear vibs, this is not about what I believe but what i claim about my understanding of islam and I am putting forth the evidence for it. That is how you judge a case ie a claim is raised and supporting evidence is given and it is cross examined to see if there is anything wrong with it. If yes...

    Dear bang galore, it seems as if you have no idea what islam is? I already explained that islam is a deen not a religion. Islam is not about pleasing god but god guiding people how to interact with each other as well as how to make best use of the land and resources for their own good...

    My dear friends, islam is not a religion=mazhab, it is deen= rule of law. All so called religions were originally rules of law. Who turned them into religion=a set of dogmatic make beliefs and rituals and ritualistic laws? The answer is priestly classes. Who are priestly classes? The agents of...

    Dear Vibs, islam is anti priestly class as well as anti ruling class, it is all for freedom of individuals to make up their own minds as to how they want to live. It gives principles that in divine wisdom will always prove unchallengeable. Islam is all about freedom, justice, fairness...

    Dear muse, it is true we are all human beings but we cannot be independent of God and humanity. A world without moral values in the name of God and humanity is nothing less than lawless jungle wherein people in position of power are the masters who can do whatever they like with rest as their...

    Dear muse, East Pakistan was lost because of mullaism because they tried to control pakistan instead of learning what islam was and how to implement it to make pakistan an exemplary state. The other enemy was ruling elite. Break up of pakistan was due to muslims for their lack of understanding...
