Re: China Bans Muslim Officials From Observing Ramadan by couthy: 3:14pm On Jul 04, 2014
Humblebloke: Islam is one of the world's largest
religions yet it is also one of the most
misunderstood. For various reasons -
be they political, economic, biased
media or fear of the "other" - mistruths
and misconceptions have been spread about Islam. The key to
understanding Islam and Muslims is to
resist stereotypes and examine each
situation according to Islamic
teachings and authentic sources. Misconception 1 – "Muslims Do Not
Share Good and Noble Values with
non-Muslims" "The best among you are those who
have the best manners and
character." - Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)
Some people allege that Islamic values
are somehow incompatible with
decent "Western" values. Such claims
could not be further from the truth.
Muslims cherish noble and universal values such as: being honest and just keeping one's word allowing freedom of religion respecting parents, relatives,
neighbours, and the elderly being charitable, generous, and
looking after the poor and needy not lying, cheating, swearing or
backbiting anyone Muslims are required to contribute
positively towards society and to
always conduct themselves with the
highest of morals and best of actions. Misconception 2 – "Muslims Worship
a New God Called Allah" Muslims worship the same God
worshipped by Prophets Noah,
Abraham, Moses and Jesus. The word
"Allah" is simply the Arabic word for
Almighty God – an Arabic word of rich
meaning, denoting the one and only God. Allah is also the same word that
Arabic speaking Christians and Jews
use to refer to God.
However, although Muslims, Jews and
Christians believe in the same God (the
Creator), their concepts regarding Him differ significantly. For example,
Muslims reject the idea of God having
any partners or being part of a 'trinity',
and ascribe perfection only to God, the
Almighty. Misconception 3 – "Islam Permits
Terrorism" The media generally portrays any
Muslim who fights as a terrorist,
regardless of whether they fight justly
or unjustly, or whether they are
oppressing others or being
oppressed. In war, the targeting of innocent non-
combatants is a despicable act which
Islam clearly prohibits. In fact, Muslims
are not allowed to destroy plants and
animals unnecessarily, let alone
innocent humans. However, it is important to distinguish between
terrorism and legitimate resistance to
occupation, as the two are very
different.
The Quran clearly demonstrates the
seriousness of killing an innocent person, and emphasises the value of
human life. "If anyone murders an innocent
person, it will be as if he has
murdered the whole of humanity.
And if anyone saves a person it will
be as if he has saved the whole of
humanity."Quran 5:32 Misconception 4 – "Islam Oppresses
Women" In Islam, men and women are viewed
as equals before God, in terms of both
receiving equal reward and
accountability for their actions. The
only thing that distinguishes people in
the sight of God is their level of piety. "Verily the most honourable of you
in the sight of Allah is the most God
conscious."Quran 49:13 This verse proves that real honour and
status is not attained because a person
is rich or poor, black or white, male or
female, but attained through piety and
devoutness.
Allah, the Creator of both genders, has assigned different roles and
responsibilities for each, taking into
account their differences. Women are
given the utmost respect and honour,
such as the right to equal pay, choice
of spouse, pursuit of education, and the right to divorce and inheritance.
Unfortunately, there are some Muslim
women who are oppressed and not
given their rights. This is not the fault
of Islam. The problem is that in some
countries, people follow certain cultural practices and traditions which
have nothing to do with Islam. Misconception 5 – "The Quran is Just
another History or Poetry Book" The Quran is the divine literal word of
God Almighty, revealed to Prophet
Muhammad (peace be upon him),
through the angel Gabriel. It is a
criterion for the truth, containing
guidance for humanity to live by. The Quran cites lessons from preceding
generations and the history of the
Prophets in order that we may learn
from their experiences. It further
teaches us about ourselves and our
Creator, as well as the purpose of our existence which is to acknowledge
God, worshipping Him alone.
God did not create humans to simply
wander aimlessly. The test of one's
faith is in using one's intellect, free will
and reasoning abilities to contemplate and recognise God's signs - one of the
greatest signs being The Quran.
The Quran contains within it many
miracles, so that we can have no
doubt about its authenticity. The best
way to discover what the Quran is actually about, is to read it for yourself. Misconception 6 – "Hijab is
Oppressive" To observe the hijab, Muslim women
are required to modestly cover their
body with clothes that do not reveal
their figure in front of non-closely
related males. However, hijab is not
just about outer appearances; it is also about noble speech, modesty, and
dignified conduct.
Although there are many benefits of
the hijab, the key reason Muslim
women observe hijab is because it is a
command from Allah (God), and He knows what is best for His creation.
The hijab empowers a woman by
emphasising her inner spiritual
beauty, rather than her superficial
appearance. It gives women the
freedom to be active members of society, while maintaining their
modesty.
The hijab does not symbolize
suppression, oppression or silence.
Rather, it is a guard against degrading
remarks, unwanted advances and unfair discrimination. So the next time
you see a Muslim woman, know that
she covers her physical appearance,
not her mind or intellect. Misconception 7 – "All Muslims are
Arabs" Only about 20% of Muslims in the
world are Arabs, meaning that up to
about 80% of Muslims are non-Arabs.
For example, there are more Indian
and Indonesian Muslims than Arab
Muslims. Islam teaches that an individual is not superior to another
because of race or colour, and is
strictly against any form of racism.
Islam has a universal message for all
of mankind - that is, that everyone can
gain peace and success only by acknowledging and worshipping the
One True God. Misconception 8 – "Jihad is
Terrorism" The essence of Jihad is to struggle and
sacrifice for one's religion in a manner
which is pleasing to God. Linguistically,
it means to "struggle" and can refer to
one's striving to do good deeds, give
charity, or to join an Islamic military action. The most commonly known
form is the military Jihad which is
permitted in order to preserve the well
being of society, to prevent
oppression from spreading, and to
promote justice. This can be either defensive or offensive, depending on
the circumstance. Misconception 9 – "Muslims Worship
Muhammad or the Moon God" Yet another misconception is that
Muslims worship Prophet Muhammad
(peace be upon him). This is entirely
untrue, and is easily refuted by the
actual saying of the Prophet (peace be
upon him): "Do not over-praise me as the Christians over-praised Jesus,
the son of Mary. I am His slave, so
refer to me as 'God's slave and
Messenger.' " Islam teaches Muslims to respect all of
God's Prophets and Messengers – but
respecting and loving them does not
mean worshipping them.
A related claim is that Muslims worship
the "moon God" which is also totally incorrect. Worshipping the moon, or
anything other than Allah, is strictly
prohibited in Islam: "Do not prostrate to the sun or to
the moon, but prostrate to Allah
Who created them, if you really
worship Him."Quran 41:37 Islam acknowledges the complete
perfection, greatness and uniqueness
of God with absolutely no
compromises. He is the Most Just and
the Most Merciful. Worshipping Him
alone is the most important belief in Islam, as mentioned in the Quran in
numerous places. Misconception 10 – "Islam Permits
Forced Marriages" Arranged marriages are cultural
practices which are predominant in
certain countries throughout the
world. Although not restricted to
Muslims, forced marriages have
become incorrectly associated with Islam.
In Islam, both males and females have
the right to choose or reject their
potential spouse, and a marriage is
considered null and void if a woman's
genuine approval is not granted prior to the marriage. Misconception 11 – "Islam Forces
People to Become Muslim" God says, "Let there be no compulsion in religion. Truth has
been made clear from error." Quran 2:256
Although it is a duty on Muslims to
convey and share the beautiful
message of Islam to others, no one
can be compelled to accept Islam. To
accept Islam, a person must sincerely and voluntarily believe and obey God,
so, by definition, no one can (or
should) be forced to accept Islam.
Consider the following: Indonesia has the largest Muslim
population yet no battles were
fought to bring Islam there. There are around 14 million Arab
Coptic Christians that have been
living in the heart of Arabia for
generations. Islam is one of the fastest growing
religions in the western world
today. Although fighting oppression and
promoting justice are valid reasons
for waging jihad, forcing people to
accept Islam is not one of them. Muslims ruled Spain for around 800
years yet never coerced people to
convert.

I wish Muslims would be this vocal in condemning atrocities by Muslims in the name of Islam, like killing of innocent children and oppressing of women.

I have not seen muslims shout human rights violation, when a muslim government sentences a woman to death for marrying a christian. Muslims seems to enjoy human rights violations against others but cry blue murder when their own rights are affected.

Islam seem to breed violence and terrorism and i do not blame China for restricting its practice and propagation.

this is one of the complacency that led to the problems we face today, that law has no grounds, and not just few Muslims will frown at it, all should, there is no two way to it, fasting in the month of Ramadan is compulsory for all muslims and the law of the land is not a justification for its boycot , have you imagined it a government placing ban on xmas celebration because The Lord's Army has done anything so many people see as bad.

we can not get peace in the absence of justice.

If there is anywhere Jihad is needed now it would be china. Clear infringement on religious rights. Whether they like it or not, the religion of Allah will continue to shine and be stronger. The law itself only prooves one thing, you can never trust an infidel 100%, they will always find a way to betray that trust. The region that the law was instituted is a muslim majority region. It has always been muslims of the uighur descent, or east turkistan people, who have always been muslim, they obviously made a mistake by trusting the unbeiliving chinese infidels with political power in their domain, now see what they got nothing but a betrayal. They should fight the oppressing authority with everything they got to ensure their religious freedom. IF not, one day those infidels might attempt to ban solat itself.
