Devils become Heroes

--->
Imagine if you asked a British colonial officer in the early 1900s,

“Who is Mahatma Gandhi”

or in 1940s to 1960s

“Who is Nelson Mandela?”

What kind of response would you get?
“He is a terrorist!”
“He is a rebel!”
“He is evil!”

But now we call them heroes.

WHY?

Because we know the other side of the story.

Now, history is repeating itself.

Islam is being demonized, Muslims are being criminalized.

But more and more people have discovered the other side of the story...

And more and more people are becoming Muslims.
MeoW!

Muslim women CAN do sports!

When Ruqaya Al Ghasara won the women’s 200m final at the recent Asian Games in Doha, she became the first Bahraini born athlete to win a major international athletics gold medal.

2004 - She became the first Muslim woman from an Arabian country to compete at the Olympic Games.

2005 - She was the first woman to ever win a race at the West Asian Games, when the Doha-hosted competition allowed female competitors for the first time ever.

But her most treasured first of all came in December last year, when she returned to the Qatari capital for the Asian Games and won the women’s 200m final, with the best time of 23.02 (-0.8m/s), placing her in the world’s top 60 and nicely poised to make a serious assault on the world scene in this coming year.

The 24-year-old, who also won bronze in the 100m, became one of the icons of the four-yearly multi-sport spectacular, both for her achievements on the track but also for her choice of clothing.

She was asked
‘What is it?’,
‘Why are you wearing it?’

She answered,

“It’s not just a matter of wearing a piece of cloth. There is something very special about wearing the hijab. It gives me strength. I feel lots of support from society because I am wearing the Islamic hijab. There is a relationship between the hijab and the heart.”

“I have a great desire to show that there are no problems with wearing these clothes. Wearing a veil proves that Muslim women face no obstacle and encourage them to compete in sports”

aRen't We ProuD To Be MuSlimS?

The 1,400 Year Old Challenge.

The Quran was revealed 1400 years ago during the height of Arabic poetry.
During this time, there lived many Arabic poets who competed among themselves to produce the most eloquent and the most popular poetry.

And then the Quran came with a challenge:

“And if you are in doubt concerning that which We have sent down (Quran) to our slave (Muhammad), then bring a surah (chapter) equal to it (in eloquency), and call your witnesses (and helpers) besides God if you are truthful. But if you can’t do it, and you will never be a able to do it, then fear the fire (hell) whose fuel is men and stones which is prepared for those who reject faith.” (Quran 2:23-24)
This is the shortest chapter in the Quran:

And yet, for more than 1400 years, not a single person has ever passed this challenge!

MeOW!

Muhammad: A prophet or an Assassin? (II)

4. The strict terms and condition in war

Abu Bakr had advised Yazid: "I advise you ten things: Do not kill women or children or an aged, infirm person. Do not cut down fruit-bearing trees. Do not destroy an inhabited place. Do not slaughter sheep or camel except for food. Do not burn bees and do not scatter them. Do not steal from the booty, and do not be cowardly." (Mutta Malik, Book 21, Section 3, Number 10)

Safi-ur-Rahman Al-Mabarakfuri sums it up in "Ar-Raheeq Al-Makhtoum",
The Messenger of Allâh [pbuh] had issued honourable strict rules about war and instructed his soldiers and leaders to comply with them. They were forbidden to break those rules under any circumstances.

In Sulaiman bin Buraidah’s version, he said that his father had told him that whenever the Messenger of Allâh [pbuh] appointed a leader on an army or on a battalion, he used to command him to fear Allâh, the Great and All-Mighty, when dealing with those who were closest to him and to be good with all Muslims. Then the Prophet [pbuh] would say to him:
"Let your invasion be in the Name of Allâh and for His sake. Fight those who disbelieve in Allâh. Invade but do not exaggerate nor commit treachery. Never deform the corpse of a dead person or kill an infant child."

The Messenger of Allâh [pbuh] asked people to facilitate but he forbade them to bear down hard on others or constrain. "Pacify", he said, "and do not disincline".

[Sahih Muslim 2/82,83]

When it happened that he arrived at the battlefield by night, he would never invade the enemy till it was morning. He utterly forbade burning (i.e. torturing people) in fire, killing children and women or even beating them. He also forbade theft and robbery and proceeded so far as to say gains acquired through plundering are not less forbidden than the flesh of a corpse. Corruption of tillage and race and cutting down of trees were all forbidden unless they were badly needed and there was no other substitute:
"Do not kill a wounded person nor run after a fleeing one or kill a captive."

He decreed that envoys cannot be killed. He also stressed on to not killing those who made covenants. He even said:
"He whoever kills one who is under pledge to a covenant shall not smell Paradise, though its smell could be experienced at a forty-year distance from it."

There were some other noble rules which purified wars from their Al-Jahiliyah (pre-Islamic) filthiness and turned them into sacred wars. [Za'd Al-Ma'ad 2/64-68; and for details Jihad in Islam p.216-262]

>>Can anybody show me any other war policies like this?

5. Some issues

a) Sometimes force has to be used to maintain peace.
Each and every human being in this world is not in favour of maintaining peace and harmony. There are many, who would disrupt it for their own vested interests. Sometimes force has to be used to maintain peace. It is precisely for this reason that we have the police who use force against criminals and anti-social elements to maintain peace in the country. Islam promotes peace. At the same time, Islam exhorts it followers to fight where there is oppression. The fight against oppression may, at times, require the use of force. In Islam force can only be used to promote peace and justice.

b) Implementation of law is not a criminal
We never call police as assassin. Even the executer, we don’t call them assassin. They merely perform their job, as to maintain peace and harmony, and in fact, they only kill those who are permissible (by the law) to be killed. Is it this simple?

No. In law, it is not easy to accuse and execute people. They must be supported by clear evidence and witnesses to proof that they are guilty. They must be supported by strong reasons.
If we can accept the rules of law, why couldn’t we accept that Muhammad was merely executed as what accordance with the law at that time, as to maintain peace and harmony?

c) During the opening of Makkah (the conquest of Makkah)
During the conquest of Makkah, Prophet Muhammad had instructed his Commanders to not cause any harm when they entered Makkah, except to fight those who resisted them. Well, it supposed to be a good opportunity to kill majority of the non-believers in Makkah!

d) Some argument about the law and the leader?
Muhammad was the leader of the Muslims at that time. He had power over Medina and few other places under his authority. In Medina itself, there were non-muslims and non-believers. However, Prophet Muhammad wasn’t kill each all of them until there were non-muslims and non-believers left. Instead, he gave sanctuary to the non-muslims under the Islamic laws.

Ok ow… I couldn’t find any authentic information that support the allegation towards Prophet Muhammad… Sorry =)
