English Language - Muslim Audience

I am using Muhammadi to label the Muslims of prophet Muhammed pbuh as in Muhammadi Islam (MI) all prophets were Muslim. Jesus was a Muslim, Abraham, Moses , Noah , Adam etc all were Muslim (meaning submitting or surrender their will to the Divine's). So in  MI, the Jesus-led Muslims changed their holy text (eg making Jesus a son/god) and became known as Christians, whilst Moses-led Muslims also changed their texts and became known as Jews. In MI ,the holy book has been protected from change (and this may be a signal that it is the last communication before judgement day, and that it is for all mankind). This way of seeing Islam is a bit confusing but I believe it is closest to the truth, because all of the Divine's messengers and prophets were submitters (ie Muslim), including their original followers. So Islam is the universal faith of the Divine (ie that the Divine has sent down for mankind). So now, what has happened to MI and Muhammadan Muslims (MM). The Divine sent its ...

This is by recognizing that a secular state is a just and fair type of state for people to live in. ie people can set up any political thought party they want (pro or anti islamic). And people can have any beliefs they want. The only thing is that all must be loyal to the nation state, working to advance and progress it from all angles (economic, defense, education, health , industrial etc). The people can choose democratically any party of any belief set to rule (Muslim or non muslim). The role of Muslim thinkers is to call society to embrace muslim thinking and if society does respond a Muslim party may get elected that also believes in secularism and democracy. Old fashion muslim parties that want a type of dictatorship should not be voted in. Also there should be complete freedom of belief. So if a muslim leaves islam they are free to do so. There is no verse in the quran to suggest otherewise. Plus the prophet pbuh himself let a Sahabi leave islam without doing anything to him....

In the West more racism i think. With Corona and a possible recession they are likely to be marginalized more. So in general things will not be very good for them. Moreover there are changes happening in the world where Turkey is stepping up and rising as a new power. This should give rise to more respect to Muslims. But also there will be some factions of society that will hate muslims more for this. The christian muslim divide will be more and racists will become more religiously bigoted. Basically its going to be a tough time i think. The effect of Corona however will be making people more spiritual i think. This should have a good effect. So i think strange times are coming.

Oh Muslims it is now time to understand how we have been failing. So that we can rise up once again and contribute to human progress. So far we have been failing miserably except in two places, Turkey and Malaysia. These two places, and especially Turkey, have been showing great signs of revival and growth as well as prosperity , despite the attempts of the outside powers to push them down (eg the failed CIA coup attempt recently in Turkey). So let us learn from these countries and see what is in common with them that has led to this prosperity and strength. You will not see any wahabi/salafi influence on their ideas. Instead they are close to Sufism. There is more mercy and gentleness in the hearts of these peoples. They are closer to love of humanity and further away from hate and feelings of superiority. Their political systems are not based on dictatorship but secular and democratic. They are inclusive and give freedom to parties of all types...

Problems with current thinking of many muslim political parties today like Brotherhood and hizb-ut-tahrir and others: They think that our duty as muslims in our societies is to implement islam politically and ensure Allah swt’s laws are implemented at a state level. My view is that our duty is to implement Islam on ourselves first. This will then lead to the correct communal response I believe. Here is how : As civilians in a state or country we will want to live such that we are not humiliated but respected and valued in our countries. Not threatened by the regime etc. But the reality is that we have despots ruling in our regions so we need to think about what to do to improve things. Firstly threatening the despots isn’t going to help things. They will just learn to work harder to oppress us. Especially if they know we want to put someone else in power other than them. So instead we need to see if we can go to a middle ground where we can make improvements to our condition. Witho...

Very useful hadith reported by imam ali when he asked the prophet (pbuh) what are your main character traits. Knowledge (of God) is my Capital; Reason is the Root of my Faith; Love is my Foundation; Enthusiasm is my Horse; Remembrance (of God) is my Friend; Firmness is my Treasure; Sorrow is my Companion; Science is my weapon; Patience is my mantle; Contentment is my reward; Poverty is my pride; Devotion is my art; Conviction is my power; Truth is my redeemer; Obedience is my sufficiency; Struggle is my manner and my pleasure is in my prayer. In Arabic: حديث مفيد جدا عن الرسول الطيب محمد نقله الامام علي حين سأله عن اهم أوصاف  شخصيته، فقال صلى الله عليه و سلم : المعرفة رأسمالي ، والعقل أصل ديني ، والحب أساسي ، والشوق مركبي ، وذِكْر الله أنيسي ، والثقة كَنْزي ، والحزن رفيقي ، والعلم سلاحي ، والصبر ردائي ، والرضا غنيمتي ، والزُهد حرفتي ، واليقين قوَّتي ، والصدق شفيعي ، والطاعة حَسْبي ، والجهاد خلقي، وجعلت قرة عيني في الصلاة )) [من تخريج أحاديث الإحياء عن علي بن...

I have found many Sunni Muslims very sincere. But what they don’t realize is they are following a poisoned understanding of Islam. One that focusses on outside appearances and places less emphasis on issues of the heart and mercy. It’s mostly about fighting and Jihad in the external sense. Whereas inner jihad on the self is not emphasised as much. This creates people more like robots (easier to control) and less like humans who have a heart that they can access and gain guidance from. So this emphasis on externalisation brings rise to a disconnect with one’s heart.  Making cruel action easier to do. And this is where the poison becomes visible. ie in cruelty and harsh cold behaviour that tends to ensue. And they continue in this path thinking this is truth and genuine Islam. Where as all along they have been poisoned and taken for a ride by poisonous and ignorant clergy, who mainly work for corrupt Muslim governments. With Shia muslims there is a similar type of deliberate mi...
