, but not even a single person here, will say to judge muslims with islam
Spot on!
mostly peoples believe islam is only about Quran and Hadith , performing hajj , jihad , reading quran and offering Namaz is all of Islam ...
Do you know why? Coz they left their religion in the church, mosque, temples or in their homes....hence they can only equate Islam to what they themselves have done....They judge Islam based on what can be preformed at home...
but any educated muslim know what islam means, and how islam has huge influence on peoples daily life , from daily waking up to sleep in night , daily works to office work , islam has a influence on a person .. its like a example , when we fast , its not just not to eat or drink , but its about the purification of the soul , not to speak lie , dont be dishonest , dont hurt someone, pray , charity , not to cheat , etc.... how many peoples do fast like this ?? so can we say that our fast is accepted ?? saying " La illa ha illalah , muhammad ur rasool Allah " is that enough to be a muslim ?? i dont think so ...
You do know educated Muslims only bother about themselves and perfect their practise and wont be online trying to "pretend" to be part of the flow of modernity like many of the sheikh and peers we have online on PDF
As for Islam´s influence on life..its a way of life hence Islam and life cant be separate entities but denials will have a million things to separate them as they have efficiently separated themselves from their own believes!
we muslim our self forget what real islam is .. our teaching from our parents were never been to real islam , our parents lie in front of their kids, those parents who has business and they cheat , what " rizk " they are feeding to their kids ?? what lesson they will give to their kids ?? those who take interest ? and justify it , what teaching they will give to their kids ??
That is soo true...Most parents never adapted Islam properly hence their kids never actually got to see Islam and that is why we get the breed of denials on PDF
When I said our forefathers picked up culture over religion I was challenged...When I point it out they asked why I derailed
do any muslim stop for a second and ask himself that before preaching others about islam ? are we muslim on the first place? ? there is a hadith where Prophet Muhammad says " that a muslim can never be a liar , and can never cheat , " ( its not full hadith one can quote full )
do we have a single muslim living today can say i never lie ?? or never cheat ?
Another thing ALLAH promised was that our trying will be counted even if we dont succeed in being perfect...but many want to see the results but when shown Prophet´s seerah, even then they wont believe...there are many verses in the Quran to warn against such people
first we have to be muslim than world will respect us ... other wise peoples have all the right to critisize islam by watching ISIS al qaeda etc. .. and neglecting other billions of muslim , who are ordinary but not news items like OBL and bhagdadi ...
I agree to a certain point but then let me show you the hypocrisy in this as well,
When there was a WHITE guy shooting in American schools, atheism nor Christianity was taken to trial,
When the priest burned a quran, Christianity wasnt questioned
When the Buddhist monks attacked batched Muslims, Teachings of Buddha were not maligned...
I could go on...
in the West such people are diagnosed with some mental illness and we dont hear A SINGLE NEWS AFTER THAT....but when some pimps go and rape, they bring in their religion....
