  1. ART THOU NOT aware that it is God whose limit­less glory all [creatures] that are in the heavens and on earth extol, even the birds as they spread out their wings? Each [of them] knows indeed how to pray unto Him and to glorify Him; and God has full knowledge of all that they do:

    An-Noor - 41

  2. Let them, therefore, worship the Sustainer of this Temple;

    Quraish - 3

  3. But if afterwards it should come to light that the two [witnesses] have become guilty of [this very] sin, then two others - from among those whom the two former have deprived of their right - shall take their place and shall swear by God, "Our testimony is indeed truer than the testimony of these two, and we have not transgressed the bounds of what is right - or else, may we indeed be counted among the evildoers!"

  4. Blog: Pointing Out What Islam Teaches Isn’t Divisive.

    On Friday, the 25th anniversary of the horrific 9/11 attacks, I posted an article about how we have forgotten 9/11. In that post, I pointed out that in the time since 9/11 – even though it’s glaringly obvious what religious persuasion the terrorists were apart of and that that religion teaches that violence against non-believers is a good thing – we, the American people, remain painfully ignorant of the threat that Islam teaches. We ignore what the religion actually teaches in its holy books and continue to believe that it’s mainly peaceful, that the only violent Muslims are the Muslims that have hijacked Islam. Heck, nowadays, many on the Left even cheer on the violent Muslims, saying that we deserved 9/11.

    However, in response to this post, I got a comment from someone on the Fediverse, who writes:

    Blaming 9/11 strictly on the violence of religious fundamentalists is a completely unserious take and just reveals your own lack of nuance in your understanding of the world. It completely ignores 70 years of history the most important of which is asking which world power helped Osama Bin Laden rise to power and then who’s brutality in the middle east inspired unlimited generations of hatred at it.

    I’ll give you a hint: it sounds like we both live here.

    Further, why is it so hard to believe that not everyone in a religion is a hard-line fundamentalist. That’s something crazy an atheist would say.

    “Here in the bible it actually says its good to kill whole races and cultures of people and enslave them. So you must believe this since this is your book! Checkmate theist!” I refused to participate in the Nu-Atheist waves for that s***.

    But you and I both know the goal isn’t to be a well informed person if you’re lamenting the Kirk days. You’re clearly just trying to rile up anti-muslim hate instead of giving a s*** about politics that help people. You are simply a free mouthpiece for the same oil industry backers and global capitalists elites that have always pushed this divisive nonsense.

    While yes, America unfortunately had a role to play in Osama bin Laden’s rise to power, that does not mean that Islam is off the hook as a motivating factor in the 9/11 attacks. If one is to read the suicide letter of one of the 9/11 terrorists, we clearly see Islam being a leading reason for why he was attacking innocent people. (Video below of ex-Muslim, Apostate of Allah, reading the 9/11 suicide letter.)

    The most notable part here is the ninth part of page one, which says:

    9- Then, put that in front of your eyes, if you are facing a challenge — how would you act [?] how to steadfast [?] and remember and learn [illegible] it wouldn’t happen to you. It is a challenge from God [illegible] then it will be clear, God willing, God had said “did you think that you will enter paradise and that God knows those who performed Jihad and knows those who are patient”

    That there is a clear link to Islam as a motivating factor, with the quote being taken from Surah 3: 142, which talks about participation in Jihad (warfare for Allah) as being one of the biggest tests for a Muslim. Similarly, we also see the hijacker quoting from the Quran in the third part of his letter, which says:

    3- Read Surat al-Tawba, and Surat al-Anfal — understand their meanings and understand what God had prepared for the faithful — He prepared an everlasting paradise for the martyrs.

    For those who are unaware, Surah al-Tawbah is Surah 9, one of the most infamous chapters in the Quran because it contains the two “Sword Verses”, 9:5 and 9:29. It was one of Muhammad’s last revelations regarding warfare, and it abrogates almost every peaceful verse in the Quran. As for Surah al-Anfal, that is Surah 8, and it too contains violent verses that abrogate earlier peaceful verses in the Quran.

    But what does that mean? Is our friend from the Fediverse right when he compares this to the Bible, saying:

    Further, why is it so hard to believe that not everyone in a religion is a hard-line fundamentalist. That’s something crazy an atheist would say.

    “Here in the bible it actually says its good to kill whole races and cultures of people and enslave them. So you must believe this since this is your book! Checkmate theist!” I refused to participate in the Nu-Atheist waves for that s***.

    The answer is that comparing the two is like comparing apples to oranges.

    While I agree (and even stated something to the effect of this in my original post), that not all Muslims are fundamentalists who look at verses like Surah 9:5 and go out and kill a bunch of people, there is still a large chunk of Muslims who are hardline fundamentalists and do that. The reason for this is because Muslims believe that the Quran is a book for all times and all places. According to them, it is the final revelation from Allah and is a clear guidance and instruction for mankind.

    What that means, then, is that unless a verse was abrogated by Allah (replaced with a different verse or new instruction), then Muslims must follow that verse. In the case of verses such as Surah 9:5, as I mentioned earlier, it abrogates previous peaceful verses, and since it was one of Muhammad’s last revelations concerning the matter of warfare and jihad, Muslims treat it as something to be followed to a T. Essentially, the time for following the peaceful verses is over; we need to follow the ones that demand warfare against non-Muslims.

    That’s also not mentioning the hadiths. The hadiths (collectively called the Sunnah) are the sayings and doing of Muhammad, and since according to Islam, Muhammad was the perfect person whose example is to be followed, Muslims rely heavily on the hadiths for guidance. That said, many hadiths speak of jihad and encourage Muslims to do it, so those wanting to follow in Muhammad’s example may wish to engage in jihad, especially since it will put them on the fast track to Jannah (Heaven), where they get their 72 pre-pubescent virgins, plenty of pre-pubescent serving boys, and food and alcohol.

    Oh, yeah, did I mention that Muslims believe that Heaven is essentially a brothel where all the serving boys (or “youths of heaven”) and the 72 virgins that they get all look like children? Yeah, there are numerous verses talking about that in the Quran, and the only way you’re guaranteed to get there is through dying in jihad.

    But what if you’re not Sunni? What if you’re a Shia Muslim and don’t follow the hadiths? Don’t worry. Not only do Shia Muslims still follow the Quran’s teaching about killing non-Muslims, but they rely more on the Sira literature – the biographies of Muhammad – which are also full of all sorts of violent deeds perpetrated by Momo, which they emulate.

    Meanwhile, if you compare this to the Bible, you don’t see any similarities. While the Bible does talk about the annihilation of the Amalekites, this is read by Christians as a descriptive verse. The Bible, while a religious text, is also a historical one, telling the story of God’s hand moving through the history of the human race. Thus, with that context, Christians don’t see the killing of the Amalekites as a prescriptive thing, unlike how Muslims would view verses like Surah 9:5 and 9:29.

    Pointing this all out is not me trying to be divisive, nor is it about spreading “anti-Muslim hate.” Pointing out what Islam teaches and how it’s historically been viewed and treated by Muslims is not anti-Muslim. It’s simply showing the facts. It’s also, in many ways, pro-Muslim, because it brings up questions about the ethics and morals of Islam that could lead Muslims to realizing that they’re effectively in a cult, culminating in them leaving that religion and finding a better life outside it.

    But, if you want to shut down the conversation by screaming “divisive,” “bigot,” “anti-Muslim,” “hate speech,” or “Islamophobe,” go ahead. You are part of the problem of how Muslims and Islam are taking over the West. You can either realize that now, or you can realize that when they’re taking your rights, your money, and, possibly, your head.

That said, many hadiths speak of jihad and encourage Muslims to do it, so those wanting to follow in Muhammad’s example may wish to engage in jihad, especially since it will put them on the fast track to Jannah (Heaven), where they get their 72 pre-pubescent virgins, plenty of pre-pubescent serving boys, and food and alcohol.

    Oh, yeah, did I mention that Muslims believe that Heaven is essentially a brothel where all the serving boys (or “youths of heaven”) and the 72 virgins that they get all look like children? Yeah, there are numerous verses talking about that in the Quran, and the only way you’re guaranteed to get there is through dying in jihad.

    But what if you’re not Sunni? What if you’re a Shia Muslim and don’t follow the hadiths? Don’t worry. Not only do Shia Muslims still follow the Quran’s teaching about killing non-Muslims, but they rely more on the Sira literature – the biographies of Muhammad – which are also full of all sorts of violent deeds perpetrated by Momo, which they emulate.

    Meanwhile, if you compare this to the Bible, you don’t see any similarities. While the Bible does talk about the annihilation of the Amalekites, this is read by Christians as a descriptive verse. The Bible, while a religious text, is also a historical one, telling the story of God’s hand moving through the history of the human race. Thus, with that context, Christians don’t see the killing of the Amalekites as a prescriptive thing, unlike how Muslims would view verses like Surah 9:5 and 9:29.

    Pointing this all out is not me trying to be divisive, nor is it about spreading “anti-Muslim hate.” Pointing out what Islam teaches and how it’s historically been viewed and treated by Muslims is not anti-Muslim. It’s simply showing the facts. It’s also, in many ways, pro-Muslim, because it brings up questions about the ethics and morals of Islam that could lead Muslims to realizing that they’re effectively in a cult, culminating in them leaving that religion and finding a better life outside it.

    But, if you want to shut down the conversation by screaming “divisive,” “bigot,” “anti-Muslim,” “hate speech,” or “Islamophobe,” go ahead. You are part of the problem of how Muslims and Islam are taking over the West. You can either realize that now, or you can realize that when they’re taking your rights, your money, and, possibly, your head.

  8. The Doubtful Things between Halal and Haram

    This Hadith addresses the believer's conscience, which is the overseer whose duty is to take charge of work and see that it is properly done. In simpler words, it is the criterion that shows the Muslim's adherence to the Halal, avoiding the Haram and keeping away from committing doubtful actions.

  9. DO NOT set up any other deity side by side with God, lest thou find thyself disgraced and forsaken:

    Al-Israa - 22

  10. And at nightfall they came to their father, weeping,

    Yusuf - 16

  11. "O our Sustainer! Behold, we heard a voice call [us] unto faith, `Believe in your Sustainer!' - and so we came to believe. O our Sustainer! Forgive us, then, our sins, and efface our bad deeds; and let us die the death of the truly virtuous!

    Aal-i-Imraan - 193

  12. And [with them will be their] spouses, raised high:

    Al-Waaqia - 34

  13. Hence, render unto the orphans their posses­sions, and do not substitute bad things [of your own] for the good things [that belong to them], and do not consume their possessions together with your own: this, verily, is a great crime.

    An-Nisaa - 2

  14. HAVE WE NOT made the earth a resting-place [for you],

    An-Naba - 6

  15. "The central #London #bookshop at the centre of controversy last month after selling copies of #AdolfHitler’s #MeinKampf has now also been found to be selling a #book that accuses #Jews of possessing “evil qualities” and reproduces excerpts from the #Protocols of the #EldersofZion, the JC can reveal.

    #Aafaq #Bookstore in #Westminster has been found to be selling copies of So That We Do Not Forget: #Jewish Crimes - #Zionist Resentment, an #Arabic-language #book dedicated to “every martyr whose blood was shed on the land of #Palestine, #Jerusalem, and #AlAqsa”.

    The book’s first chapter describes Jews as a “people who committed great sins and possess evil qualities, thus deserving the wrath of [God]. God Almighty has mentioned their characteristics and actions in the Holy #Quran, and how He punished them, yet they did not learn a lesson. Therefore, we must know their history so that we may be wary of them… God’s victory for the believers over the Jews is inevitable.”
