| NEW YORK - The Rev. Jerry Falwell says "I think Muhammad was a terrorist" in an interview to be broadcast Sunday on the CBS television program "60 Minutes."
By:
Touqeer Ansari We can expect anything from you regarding the Prophet and Islam, because you are not a Muslim, and are not educated about Islam. Your sources of information regarding Muhammed came from those who do not believe in Islam. Naturally, how will they write in their books, in a positive manner about him? Or else they would have been Muslim. If you dislike someone, how can you put information about him in a positive way? As you know, Satan is an enemy of human beings, and when it comes to Allah, who is the real provider, creator, and sustainer of mankind. Satan has also closed the eyes of some Muslims who are not practicing. And he also has closed your eyes and wisdom. Please think carefully before you falsely accuse an honorable person, who has over a billion believers and followers. who's teachings are only to keep mankind away from falsehood, and to live in reality, peacefully in the best manner. We will account for our deeds in front of our Lord in the hereafter. Did you ever think about Buddha, Ram, or any other idol? Why doesn't anyone make a statement about them? Why do you accuse someone who claims to come from the same source as Abraham, Moses, and Jesus? When it comes to worshipping idols and other materials, which were also condemned by Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. No one would ever accuse those people of anything. Do you think that they all are dumb and following Islam blindly? if he was false and a terrorist, Islam would have vanished along time ago. In Islam we do not have any missionary system, who can continue to preach Islam to others. Now you should think what Satan can do to mankind. Do you think that you are the only one who is smart and a genius? Who is accusing the Prophet Muhammed without any solid research and basis, and with wrong labels. You may know that the wrong use of the tongue can create conflicts amongst mankind, which as a result will only disturb worldly peace. I will give you a few examples
regarding the Prophet Muhammed, please read it carefully and sit back and
think about him, and do not GLANCE THIS LETTER ONLY. Because you are
issuing wrong statements about a major world religion, and the world's
most fastest growing religion, and statements like this only build hatred
amongst each other worldwide. You may know, Islam is a law and a way of life, whoever practices Islam will receive its benefits, whoever does not will not, regardless if his name may be "Muhammed" so and so. Do not judge Muhammed by just looking at the actions of his followers, we all are sinners and are accustomed to make mistakes in our daily life routines. Many Muslims are culturally Muslim, because they were born in a Muslim family. Islam is a law and it requires practice, whoever follows is it will receive it's benefits. I will give you an example of Jesus (Isa), peace be upon him, as we believe and fully respect all Prophets. We do not care of what some Christians may claim, we never judge anyone by looking at a person's mistakes and judge the entire nation falsely. If massacres took place by Hitler, who was a Christian himself, or in Bosnia, it is it safe to say that Jesus was a terrorist? Which no Muslim or Christian would ever agree with, to say anything about the Prophet Jesus (Isa), unless he is not in his senses. The Prophet Muhammed is no longer amongst us, and is not holding a lash for us to hold our forbidden desires, which destroy society and corrupt the lifestyles of individuals, and are all illusions and temptations from Satan. As you know wrong desires are very attractive, and it is not easy to hold it unless someone really has belief on his Lord who is fully watching us. And this is another example about the truth of Islam. Which keeps people safe from diseases such as aids, and many other diseases and corruptions, which really is disturbing today's world order. Islam claims to be the religion of Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, and all of the other true Prophets who were sent to by Allah. This is also written in the bible and in the Qur'an. All of the Prophets conveyed the same message to hold our forbidden desires. Which today, by the label of the modern world, is adopted in our society which is the same lifestyle that all of the previous prophets prohibited. And that is the reason why Prophets came. If we claim to love our prophets, we should not indulge in things which they forbade. The same order came from Allah to Moses and Jesus (Isa). All religions are in accordance with this, but this is only adhered to by practicing Muslims. If you read the bible, and read the lifestyle of Abraham, Moses, or Jesus, and compare it to the Prophet Muhammed, then you will find similarities. Whatever they condemned against the will of the Lord, Muhammed done the same. Such as, idolatry, associating partners with Allah etc. And ideas of Satan are being spread in society today such as homosexuality, prostitution, theft, and cheating, all has become smartness and modern. Which are only condemned by practicing Muslims, who fear Allah. The followers of greatest and most
honorable person and the best teacher, the Prophet Mohammed's teachings,
which is proven by millions of his followers. Who are trying to follow his
lifestyle. It is natural to one's soul which would accept his teachings to
benefit his soul directly. Islamic law does not apply at all to the body,
materialistic lifestyle, status and label of an individual. According to
the teachings of Muhammed, all individuals are equal to the teeth of a
comb in front of Allah. And as you know, the soul does not have any color
or status. We come from Allah empty handed and we leave this world empty
handed, all our wealth and status stays in this world after we depart from
this world. You will get a little fame in the society of Satan, and the followers of Satan will appreciate you. Although you may not be a Muslim, how will you answer your Lord to accuse the most honorable person, which you really never learned and read about his lifestyle? Who claimed to be sent by the same Lord who also sent previous Prophets such as, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. When Allah already sent many prophets, what is stopping from him sending one more? Did you check his lifestyle, teachings, and sayings from an authentic source, whether its the truth or false? or is it in accordance with the teachings of previous Prophets such as Abraham, David, Moses and Jesus? Check
this reference by a non-Muslim. Who had conducted solid research and shown
comparison of Muhammed to others in his book. (Hart,
Michael H. 1992. The 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in
History, Revised and Updated for the Nineties. New York: Citadel Press
Book) (click
here to see the list). If you claim to be a true believer in Jesus and Mary, then show me proof on how much you love him by following his lifestyle. If you see the pure lifestyle of Jesus, and think about his character, honor, and sacrifice towards his nation only for the will of Allah. And today those who claim to be a follower of Jesus and Mary, how dirty and filthy lifestyle people are going towards calling themselves modern and well moved in society? which only Islamic followers condemn, and this is taught by Muhammed. Death is a reality, every soul will be judged in front of his Lord, how are you going to tell your Lord that you were a true believer of Jesus. You should read the lifestyle of Jesus, and judge in this century who is representing Jesus your nation or Muslims? who have learned this from Muhammed. I am not angry with you, because the teachings of Muhammed is until someone does not have knowledge of Allah, then he is ignorant and as a Muslim we should transfer knowledge to the ignorant, but I am disappointed. A person like you who claims to have a religious character. How can you be ignorant about the great honorable person, Muhammed? You have only studied books which are written by non-Muslims, how can they tell you what character he really had? Most of those writers do not claim to be religious pope or priest but are secular, and those people state wrong things about him to earn a little fame, status, and money. As you know everything will stay in this world, Ganges Khan and Hitler are no longer amongst us today. Every soul is going closer to death every second that passes by, so do not look at success only here, but think about your hereafter. The efforts you are putting in your lifestyle going against Muhammed, if you invest a little effort to focus at the Prophet Mohammed's lifestyles, teaching and sayings. The results are in front of you in this modern age, young and old people are following his sayings and examples. These people are those who understand Islam and fully believe on life after death, in order to meet one's Lord. The results are in front of your eyes, please consider it responsibly as a gentleman and not in plain ignorance. Before opening your mouth against that person who's life was full of patience and teachings on how to implement peace amongst society. Do you thing you are smarter then President Bush and the U.S government? Who have certified in there speeches that Islam only represented peace. And mayor Juilliani of New York also said in his interview "Islam is a beautiful, beautiful religion." So you are telling the leaders of today's leading nations and the US government, that they are making mistakes on there statements. We are no one to stop anyone from his sayings, everyone will account for his own deeds in the hereafter. Do not judge actions of individuals when it comes to Islam, Islam is a law and it has nothing to do with the actions of people. You see how ignorant we are today about Allah and his Prophet, because you are not a Muslim, but I will give you one example, many fake and filthy novels are read every day in our lifestyle, and all news papers and magazines. But the ignorance of people is that there are one billion Muslims who claim through the Qur'an that Muhammed is coming from the same root as Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, however they never open it and compare it's notes. As we know, when a hundred thousand novels sell, they become the best sellers. Billions of copies of the Qur'an have been printed over the last 1400 years, how many of us are comparing it's notes before issuing false statements. As Allah has certified in the Qur'an, Muhammed who was sent as a mercy to mankind. I am not stating this because I am a Muslim, you can go back and study history. The world started thousands of years ago, the same human beings were there with eyes, ears, and brains, with all kinds of abilities in their bodies. Where were these Scientists and researchers? Why were they sleeping before Islam? After the revelation of the Qur'an, technology, revolution, realization of time, scientific discoveries, and inventions started after Muhammed. Who was illiterate himself, who could not read or write, and has received the book of the Qur'an from Allah. Why were these things not developed before Islam? Why was mankind so uncivilized? Before Islam, people use to bury their daughters alive. And as you know, the Christian church was debating whether the soul of a women is that of an animal, or is it of a sub-human. During the time of the dark ages in Europe, practicing Muslims came and civilized the Europeans, and took Europe out of the dark ages. And taught them basic things such as the use of soap, to a gutter system. How can anyone say that Muhammed was false Prophet and a terrorist? When his true followers civilized the world? I would like to suggest you, for information there is a movie which is made by PBS, called "Islam, Empire of faith." Which shows how Islam civilized this world. Muhammad's teacher was Allah, the all mighty only, who is one and a unique power, and everyone depends on him, but he is not dependant on anyone, he begets not, nor was he begotten, and there is non comparable on to him. Now we can realize who can be close to the power of Allah? The holder of status is in the control of Allah? Muhammed was illiterate, so non-believers cannot say that he copied or learned from the bible or the Torah. The reason why he was illiterate is because his teacher was Allah, and so no one can claim that he is Muhammad's teacher, and that Muhammed learned from them. The Qur'an was revealed completely in a period of 23 years. Someone who was illiterate, who was unable to make note of his revelation himself. How can he fool so many people who use to note the Qur'an, after it was revealed? As you can see the Torah or the Bible's law does not apply to mankind, and it really has become like a culture. People are adopting it only because of culture. However Islamic followers have thousands of examples. Many wealthy Muslims, when they start to practice Islam, they only give Allah's law first priority and their worldly matters as secondary. His companions who use to be violent before Islam, and a few Qur'anic verses made there lifestyle change completely. They did not wait for the entire Qur'an which came in a time period of 23 years. And who is making the Qur'an to be kept in such an accurate form today? If you go to museums in cities such as New York, London, or Chicago, you can find hand written Qur'an from the time period of Muhammed. You cannot find a single change of a dot. May Allah have his mercy and guide you. Do not look at short and fake status and fame,
we should not forget our death which all of
us will face and will account for our deeds. As we know, this world is very
temporary. I do not care of what non-Muslim writers may write, because they are non-Muslim, and talk baseless. Your baseless statements regarding the Prophet Muhammed, is that of a grade two student who goes angry, and mentions anything he wants. Your statements show as if you are talking about someone such as Pharaoh, Adolph Hitler, or Ganges Khan. Under what solid basis have you concluded, that the Prophet Muhammed, peace be upon him, was a violent man, or a man of war? This shows that you really never conducted solid research of his life and the Qur'an, but you like many others issue these baseless statements out of intolerance and pure hatred and only for Islam. Or you may want to please society, by making such irresponsible and false accusations against the most honorable, the Prophet Muhammed. See how Satan has misguided mankind, the religion who worships Allah alone, and does not associate with him any partners. And does not worship any materials, such as idols. Look at the message of Abraham, Jesus, or other prophets, not to associate partners with the creator, not to make an idol or an image of him. Today all religions respect each other, and never shows hatred amongst one another. When it comes to Islam, it looks like a big challenge to everyone. Without conducting solid research or studies on Islam with basis. Muhammed was a prophet, and with a billion people who testify. Even the Qur'an says that the Prophet is from the same source as Moses or Jesus. Under what solid basis and proof have you issued these statements, regarding the Prophet? What has made you to conclude that he was a violent man or a man of war? There are many examples about the kindness of Muhammed towards mankind. He is the person who never took revenge from his enemies, and his teachings to his companions are also the same. Who was he to take revenge from anyone? Allah is the one who gives and takes life, and all of the calamites come only from Allah. Maybe you know that Muhammed was born in Makkah, present day Saudi Arabia. And lived forty years in Makkah, and after receiving revelation from Allah his wife and cousin, and only a few Muslims were converted. And there teachings were against that of Makkan rulers, not to worship any stones or idols. Which as we know appears degrades the status of the creator. Every single material, that builds idols comes from underneath the ground, which is beneath our shoes. Allah, the one who gives life and takes life cannot be represented by stone or any other material. Muhammad's relatives use to buy and sell idols, and what he preached was against the government of Makkah's will. They tried to stop him, there were only sixty people in Makkah for thirteen years. Who went through difficulties and tortures from the Makkans, they had to leave there families, status, wealth, in order to be a Muslim, and only purchased hunger and poverty, in a worldly sense. And then they migrated to Madinah, present day Saudi Arabia, a few hundred people after going through all kinds of tortures in Makkah. After time, when when the Makkans broke a truce they had with the Muslims. The Muslims as a result had no choice, and went back to Makkah and conquered it. NOW YOU SHOW ME IN HISTORY ANY NATION THAT HAS BEEN TORTURED AND HAVE BEEN DRIVEN OUT OF THERE OWN CITY, AND HAD TO LOOSE THERE WEALTH, STATUS, AND FAMILIES, AND WENT THROUGH ALL KINDS OF BEATINGS, AND AFTER CONQUERING MAKKAH THERE WAS NO BLOODSHED AT ALL, AND NO VIOLENCE, AND THEY NEVER TOOK REVENGE FROM THE SAME PEOPLE WHO HAVE TORTURED THEM AND DRIVEN THEM OUT OF THERE OWN HOMELANDS, AND HAVE BEEN LOOTED BY THEM. And before migrating to the city of Madinah, they have been tortured three and a half years out of Makkah in the open desert with no water supply or food. They were living on leaves, and the Prophet Mohammed's wife Khadijah passed away, who was a very rich lady, and well known. And they still did not take revenge after conquering Makkah, take yourself in there shoes and think about it, and think how will you answer your Lord to insult that honorable person who never revenged on anyone, and to blame him and to falsely accuse him. Now you can see the prophecy period of 23 years, and there are many examples from his companions and his own lifestyle. When he use to go out for preaching Islam, there was a lady who use to throw garbage on him everyday. One day she was not there, so he knocked her door to find out of her condition. Do not obey Satan, which only lead you towards hell. Another example about the
Prophet's character and patience. There was a man who visited him in a
mosque, and was very angry about the religion of Islam. While leaving the
mosque he urinated in the middle of it. The Prophet's companions wanted to
stop him, and they showed a little anger at him. The Prophet Muhammed said
to them, to allow that man to finish. If you do anything to him, he can
get sick while urinating. Let him to finish, this can be cleaned. People
take mercy from Islam, and not sickness. How can Muhammed teach
different from other prophets? he emphasized, warned, and reminded the
same message as the previous prophets have done. Which was not obeyed, and
forgotten by the people of that time, and the original message was
altered. Without actually studying his lifestyle and behavior towards other, under what solid research you concluded that Muhammed teaches hatred? Read the laws of the Qur'an, and read the morals and teachings of the Prophet on how to deal with each other. Every year, the entire world witness on TV, that during the hajj in Makkah, it is performed by all races, equal before Allah. And within the figure of above two million, without any security. If Muhammed was violent man, then how do these Muslims behave with each other peacefully while they are there? The Hajj is one of the biggest proofs that Muhammad's teaching were only of patience and love. And to care of each other's rights, and of human rights. When two million people are traveling together from different parts of the world, you cannot find any kind of arguments and fights while they are staying and coming back. I am sure you probably watched it on TV for a few years already. Allow
me to remind you of an example in history. During the time of the
crusades, after all of the bloodshed took place in Jerusalem by the
crusaders. We must not forget the attitude of the crusader, after
slaughtering thousands of innocent civilians, making their blood to the
level of the knees of their horses. Now look at the opposite example,
after Salladin (Salahuddin) recaptured Jerusalem, without any bloodshed.
He rebuilt the orthodox Christian churches destroyed by the crusaders. And
made a law, that Jews and Christians may live together with Muslims
peacefully, and are allowed to practice there religion safely under Muslim
rule. During the time of the fourth caliph, Ali, who was the cousin of Muhammed, and was also raised by him. Ali's shield was taken by a Jewish fellow, and he knew that it was his, and he was the caliph. So they went to a judge and gave their case, but the caliph Ali saying that the shield was his, and the Jewish fellow was asking him for proof. The caliph lost his case, because he was unable to prove the shield belongs to him. And the Jewish fellow converted to Islam, because of it's accuracy, although the caliph was a ruler and but he lost his case because he was unable to prove the shield belongs to him. Another of his examples is, during a time of war, someone came underneath the sword of Ali. And out of anger that man spit on the face of Ali, while thinking that he was going to die. As a result, Ali, instead of killing him, removed his sword. Because, now instead of it being the cause of Allah, his own personal anger was involved. And I would also like to
remind you on the terrorism aspect, which you falsely accused the Prophet
of. Jihad is only for self-defense. And Jihad has laws such as, not the
cutting of trees, not to harm civilians, who are not involved in the war
like the military. The respectable CBS organization should see a billion believers, if they claim to have good will and status, they should examine the information before releasing anything against an honorable and truthful person, Muhammed. Muhammed is not amongst us today, because of the truth, his teachings will always be there. And millions of people are taking guidance from there. You can see how Muslims are misguided today by not adhering to his actual teachings. The truth of Islam and Muhammed is there are thousands of people converting from different nationalities, which makes Islam the world's fastest growing religion. + Islam is the only universal religion, which stops unlawful desires. The previous prophets wanted to prevent unlawful desires. And the truth and proof of Islam is the final source and revelation that all prophets represented. Who is telling people in this century what is Islam and how to apply it? As we know Muhammed came over 1400 years ago, and is no longer amongst the people. As people study Islam through the Qur'an and his examples, how many hundreds of thousands have already chosen Islam? and how many are thinking and are close to converting to Islam? People who live in North America and Europe by their choice, adopt Islamic law. People are growing their beards and wearing a hijaab and covering their faces. In order to prove the truth of Islam. And there are still some who adhere to the laws of the Lord, because his laws will never be outdated. As we all know, our body is based on chemistry, flesh, water, and bones. And Allah, our creator, knows what is best for us. Today you cannot force a five year old boy
living in the west what to
do. He could call the police if someone is imposing something against his will. Do not close your eyes, before taking
about any kind of filthy information which is below your standard. How many hundreds of years have Muslim rulers ruled in India? And as we all know, Hindu people worship snakes, mice, cows, or any other creature which could harm them, they think that this is god. And the mogul emperor who ruled for a few hundred years, never forced Islam on them. Or any other place in the world, because that is against Islamic law to force or implement Islam on anyone, even if it their own family.
If his teachings were of terrorism then there shouldn't be a single Hindu in India. Allah's commands in the Qur'an, the second chapter, that there is no compulsion in the religion of Islam. You cannot put pressure on anyone to become Muslim, or you cannot pressure a kid after the age of twelve, you can only show benefits or punishments. Islam shows us the truth that our life over here is temporary and we only are in transit, and we are going to go to meet our Lord, and account for our actions. If a Muslim does not believe this he is not a Muslim, and that keeps Muslims from unlawful desires such as alcohol, prostitution, and many other unlawful desires. Unlawful desires are the most attractive, which destroyed millions already. One can see you are blaming terrorism on the Prophet, never judge the accuracy of law by it's followers. People all make mistakes, and do not forget that Satan is with everyone, regardless if he is Christian, Jew, Hindu, or Muslim. Satan's job is to misguide and work against the will of Allah. Islamic learning is that you are here and performing your test during your lifetime. For example, when anyone is writing an exam, the examiner never tells that person that he is leaving a blank paper, or is doing a good job, or making mistakes. Everyone only waits for results, and it will come after death, who was right or wrong. You can see how close you are yourself to Jesus and compare it with any practicing Muslim. Who is trying to follow the footsteps of Moses and Jesus, by living, and wearing according to the laws of his creator, and believing and respecting all Prophets. If you see today, after thinking about the character of Jesus as a
Prophet. All
Christians are waiting for Jesus' return, when he will come back then show
us who is closer to his footsteps Muslims or Christians? As an honest judge tell me where Jesus is
coming, Muslims or Christians, who is closer to his and Mary's character and lifestyle? Look at Muslim practicing
Muslim women and
Christians, who is obeying the laws of Allah regardless if anyone is laughing or crying at them. All
Christians claim to be lovers of Jesus and Mary, but their living examples are no longer left, except for Muslims. And that is what other religious leaders don't want, they think that is worldly competition like business. If any religious laws does not benefit the soul only, then it means it is not from the creator. Except for Islam, all religions try to mix culture, status, and wealth. Except Islam which is only from Allah and equally applies to all races, and will get all equal benefits. See the right path of Islamic law, if you go to a mosque you will only find carpets or mats. And Muslims who pray five times a day and bows to the Lord who is the creator. Between Allah and the worshipper there is no one, not even the Prophet. Because Muhammed was a messenger and received the revelation which he transferred to us, and we only acknowledge him as a Prophet. Now if you look at Churches or temples, they all are very colorful, and there are statues which are against the will of Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, who never worshipped Allah through idols. These crosses, pianos and statues are all materials, and if these things are satisfying our soul, then this means we are degrading the power of our Lord. Who is the giver of life to the fetus in the mother's womb after forty days. And who is the shaper of the fetus in human form. He gives the ability to the baby to think, hear, and shapes fingers and hands in a bag of water. Now if you leave any mammal in water for 22-48 hours, which we drink to survive with, they will start to dissolve. What is keeping the baby in the mother's womb alive in a bag of water for a duration of nine months, while having constant improvements and developments? Any material or decoration in
a place of worship, tries to satisfy the soul, then this means the materials and that factory who made that statue and piano became the lord of soul and not Allah. May Allah open your wisdom about Islam, and remove your hatred towards other religions. And teach you to be more tolerant towards other faiths. |
