Answering Some Misconceptions about Islam 1
Answering Some Misconceptions about Islam Islam rejects Jesus because:
Jesus is not accepted as `the Son of God' ***************** The Qur'an
and Sunnah both teach us emphatically and without any doubt that the
Creator considers the statement of the Trinity to be a great
falsehood. The Qur'an states (translation): [19:88-93] They say:
"(Allah) the Most Merciful has begotten a son!" Indeed you have put
forth a thing most monstrous! At it the skies are ready to burst, the
earth to split asunder, and the mountains to fall down in utter ruin,
that they should invoke a son for (Allah) the Most Merciful. For it is
not consonant with the majesty of (Allah) the Most Merciful that He
should beget a son: Not one of the beings in the heavens and the earth
but must come to (Allah) the Most Merciful as a servant. However, the
misconception that Jesus is rejected does not follow from the reason
given above. It is more precise to say that identifying Jesus as `the
Son of God' is rejected. As a Messenger of Allah, Jesus is accorded
the same honor that all the Messengers are given, as the following
verse attests to (translation), [2:136] Say (O Muslims): We believe in
Allah and that which is revealed to us and that which was revealed to
Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the tribes, and that
which Moses and Jesus received, and that which the prophets received
from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to
Him we have surrendered. [Arabic "Muslimoon"]
************************************************** ************ Islam
is a racist, afro-centric cult because: Nation of Islam espouses the
superiority of the black man ************ One of the great
misconceptions of the twentieth century is that the so-called `Nation
of Islam' is a Muslim community, or more precisely: a community which
submits to Allah by following the Qur'an and Sunnah. The `Nation of
Islam' is a man-made way of life which borrowed some elements of Islam
and then mixed them with a large number of inventions and lies to
reach their present doctrines. It suffices to point out the `Nation of
Islam's deviation in two areas. First, they reject the essence of
Islam by concocting a story wherein the Creator takes the form of a
black man. From their on-line publications, we find that the `Nation
of Islam' believes in ...one God (Allah) and that Allah (God) appeared
in the Person of Master W. Fard Muhammad, July, 1930; the long awaited
`Messiah' of the Christians and the `Mahdi' of the Muslims... However,
the Creator states in the Qur'an (translation), [6:103] No vision can
grasp Him, but His grasp is over all vision: He is above all
comprehension, yet is acquainted with all things. The `Nation of
Islam' also claims that white men are `devils', and that black people
are in general superior to all other races. However, from the Sunnah,
specifically in the Messenger of Allah's farewell sermon, we find the
Messenger (pbuh) saying: All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has
no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over
an Arab; also a white has no superiority over a black nor a black has
any superiority over a white - except by piety and good action. There
are many other beliefs which the `Nation of Islam' holds which take it
outside of Islam. It is interesting to note that in the mid-1970's,
the overwhelming majority of the group realized its errors and
converted to true Islam. There is, however, a splinter group which
remains active today .
************************************************** ********** Islam
produces a lazy, uneducated society because: fatalism is OK .
************** The reasons given for this misconception are false, and
the misconception itself is actually refuted directly by the Qur'an
and Sunnah. While it is true that the Creator is the source of
everything to us, it is not true that this can be used as an excuse
for humanity to hide behind as the following verses from the Qur'an
state (translation), [16:35] The worshippers of false gods say: "If
Allah had so willed, we should not have worshipped anything but Him -
neither we nor our fathers,- nor should we have prescribed
prohibitions other than His." So did those who went before them. But
what is the mission of messengers but to preach the Clear Message?
[43:20] They (the idolators) say, "If it had been the will of (Allah)
the Most Merciful, we should not have worshipped such (deities)!" Of
that they have no knowledge: they do nothing but lie! Allah has taught
us via the Qur'an and Sunnah that we all have a certain amount of free
will. This free will must be exercised properly in accordance with the
Qur'an and Sunnah to please the Creator. This is plenty of motivation
for all Muslims to push themselves to be the most knowledgeable,
effective Muslims they can be. If Muslim societies today are not
meeting their potential, it is surely not due to their knowledge of
Islam, rather it is their ignorance of this way of life. The
importance of seeking knowledge and working are made clear in the
Sunnah. From the Sunnah, specifically in the study of the Sunnah
called Sunan Abu-Dawud, we find: [9:1637] Narrated Anas ibn Malik: A
man of the Ansar came to the Prophet (pbuh) and begged from him. He
(the Prophet) asked: Have you nothing in your house? He replied: Yes,
a piece of cloth, a part of which we wear and a part of which we
spread (on the ground), and a wooden bowl from which we drink water.
He said: Bring them to me. He then brought these articles to him and
he (the Prophet) took them in his hands and asked: Who will buy these?
A man said: I shall buy them for one dirham. He said twice or thrice:
Who will offer more than one dirham? A man said: I shall buy them for
two dirhams. He gave these to him and took the two dirhams and, giving
them to the Ansari, he said: Buy food with one of them and hand it to
your family, and buy an axe and bring it to me. He then brought it to
him. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) fixed a handle on it with his own
hands and said: Go, gather firewood and sell it, and do not let me see
you for a fortnight. The man went away and gathered firewood and sold
it. When he had earned ten dirhams, he came to him and bought a
garment with some of them and food with the others. The Apostle of
Allah (pbuh) then said: This is better for you than that begging
should come as a spot on your face on the Day of Judgment. Begging is
right only for three people: one who is in grinding poverty, one who
is seriously in debt, or one who is responsible for compensation and
finds it difficult to pay. Also from the Sunnah, specifically in the
study of the Sunnah called Sunan Ibn Majah, we find that the Messenger
of Allah said: Seeking knowledge is a duty upon every Muslim.
Knowledge of the Qur'an and Sunnah are clearly the best types of
knowledge, and knowledge which benefits humanity is good as well. The
Qur'an and Sunnah do not condemn the study of this earth and in fact
the Creator encourages us to investigate the world we live in
according to the following verse from the Qur'an (translation),
[3:190-191] Behold! in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and
the alternation of night and day, there are indeed Signs for people of
understanding. People who celebrate the praises of Allah, standing,
sitting, and lying down on their sides, and contemplate the (wonders
of) creation in the heavens and the earth, (with the thought): "Our
Lord! not for nothing have You created (all) this! Glory to You! Give
us salvation from the penalty of the Fire."
