Islam
Islam is a complete way of life, Islam is a human state.
It is not only teach how to pray or to be spiritual, but also how to live a materialistic
life.
Islam is a life style by following which individuals or societies can achieve a dignified civilized
life which will be peaceful.
Many argue Islam is a religion of peace, love, equity and many argue Islam is a religion
of violence, hatred and inequity.
Which claim is TRUE?
and who are RIGHT?
if the claims are limited by both sides, one claiming peace and the other claiming violence,
then Qur'an the word of the God will tell them both are wrong and untrue.
The word of the God will tell them ISLAM the way of life designed and designated by the
God is peace love equity but also equally violence, hatred and inequity.
One might argue isn't it paradoxical but the truth is there is no paradox but only balance
in Islam.
Islam is maintained by the Qur'an and the Qur'an teaches that good and evil are not
equal.
Oppressors and the oppressed are not equal.
Piety, righteousness and obscenity, and unrighteousness are not equal.
Therefore, Islam is a way of life where Muslims love, treat equally and are peaceful towards
all that is good and hate, look down and are violent against all that is evil.
Many anti Islamist allege that Islam is racist and intolerant towards those who are Non Muslims
and if anyone leaves Islam and become an apostate are killed for no other reason but for leaving
Islam.
These are false allegations and are made to only achieve instant fame, malign Islam and
to make happy some followers of other religions who are extreme in their religious views and
authenticate those ideas and get themselves rich.
A simple analysis of this issue from the authentic source will clear the misconception and demonized
view about Islam.
The last 23 years of the life of Muhammad, the last messenger of the God was prophetic
and the Qur'an was revealed in this period and verses were revealed for different situations
which will be exemplary for the rest of mankind till the end of this world.
The society is which Muhammad the messenger of the God was born, was polytheistic in mecca
and the messenger of the God and his followers had to leave mecca because they were minority
and oppressed for monotheistic belief.
The Muslims migrated to Medina where they had the freedom to practice Islam.
There were different religions and cultures in Medina and everyone had the liberty to
practice their own thing.
These societies joined together and formed a state under a single constitution know as
the constitution of Medina.
Most of Arabia was polytheistic and sheltering monotheistic people was an insult to their
gods as the Muslims were claiming there is no god except the one true God who is above
the comprehension of His creation and therefore the images, idols etc. are all false gods
and the one true God does not approve such representation of Himself.
Medina was consistently under attack by all these people and as a minority the Muslims
had to make strategies to defend themselves and Medina.
According to the authentic sources of Islam, the Qur'an and the Sahih Hadith, people who
leave Islam are sinners but there is no punishment for them by Islamic court or Islamic juridical
system in this worldly life as The God will punish them of their sins and the Muslims
cannot do any harm to them or treat them bad.
The God does not accept any deed whether good or evil unless it is done from the heart.
Any individual compelled to commit sin is not a sinner.
And anyone who does good under force is not a saint and his good deeds will not be accepted
by the God.
Therefore even if someone remains a Muslim under death threats it will not be accepted
by the God, so it is pointless.
The worse people in Islam are those who recognize the truth and rightness but refuses to accept
it, known as kuffar, and the worst are those who are not Muslims at heart but pretends
to be Muslims known as munafiq.
The God has not designated any punishment for these sinners by human beings in the worldly
life as the God will punish them in the worldly life and in the afterlife.
The God has only designated punishments for worldly crimes like murder, treason, white
collar etc.
No one was ever punished by the messenger of the God, Muhammad for leaving Islam but
those who were punished were actually punished for treason.
In fact, death penalty for treason is not a standard punishment in Islam, but absolutely
based on situations.
If we take a closer look at the Hadith, we will find that the messenger of the God, Muhammad
had set men free who had committed treason.
So, if death penalty was a standard punishment in Islam, prescribed by the God, the messenger
of god, would not have the authority to set free men after treason.
In Islam all the laws are given by ALLAH the God, and Muhammad is Allah's last and final
messenger.
The messengers and the Muslims have no power or authority to change the way of life which
is prescribed by Allah.
The messenger of God, Muhammad even said that, if his own daughter committed crime(e.g. like
stealing), she would have to be punished by the laws prescribed by ALLAH.
Death penalty for treason is justifiable, because it will prevent the cause for more
death and proper fate for a betrayer who back stabbed his own people and joined the enemy
to rule and kill his own people.
The death penalty is a dreadful penalty which also works as deterrence which prevents and
frightens people from treason.
Considering the situation of Medina at the time of the messenger of the God, Muhammad,
which was consistently under attack by the majority of the Arabia, death penalty for
treason was the most practical solution.
And death penalty for treason was not just limited to those who were Muslims but this
punishment was also given to those who were never a Muslim.
Therefore to say that if anyone leaves Islam the punishment is death penalty is ridiculous.
Furthermore, if we look at the world statistics, we will find that, there are Non-Muslim majority
countries who also gives death penalty for treason.
People who spread lies in the societies are the greatest enemy of the societies.
People are different with different ideas but the majority are capable to coexist together
in peace with the difference.
These evil liars wants to create enmity and hatred among people and make a place for themselves
to appear useful, get rich and famous.
Societies and peoples will never achieve peace as long as there is a place for individuals
who may be a businessman, political leader or a religious guide willing to deceive and
lie to make people enemy of one another for having different beliefs.
These evil hate mongers uses media and other sources to maintain fear in the heart of the
people to justify and cohort chaos, oppression, war, violence and racism.
These deceivers are the greatest enemy of the societies and peoples, there will always
be chaos, oppression, war, violence and racism as long as people follow these deceivers and
give them a place in the society.
These liars and deceivers will make us believe that they are our protector but in reality
they are our greatest enemies who are turning us evil.
Please, convey this message with your family, friends, neighbors, etc. otherwise, misconception
of such nature will grow without any solution
