"This
day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favour
upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion."
- al-Ma'idah, 5:3
(Interpretation of Meaning, al-Qur'an)
The Religion before Allah is Islam (submission to His Will) - 3:19
"Then is it only a part of the Book that ye believe in, and do ye reject the rest? but what is the reward for those among you who behave like this but disgrace in this life?- and on the Day of Judgment they shall be consigned to the most grievous penalty. For Allah is not unmindful of what ye do." - Al-Baqarah, 2:85 (Interpretation of Meaning, al-Qur'an)
It was We who revealed the law (to Moses): therein was guidance and light. By its standard have been judged the Jews, by the prophets who bowed (as in Islam) to Allah's will, by the rabbis and the doctors of law: for to them was entrusted the protection of Allah's book, and they were witnesses thereto: therefore fear not men, but fear me, and sell not my signs for a miserable price. If any do fail to judge by (the light of) what Allah hath revealed, they are (no better than) Unbelievers. - 5:44
"O ye who believe! Remain steadfast for Allah, bearing witness to justice. Do not allow your hatred for others make you swerve to wrongdoing and turn you away from justice. Be just; that is closer to true piety."
- al-Ma'idah, 5:8
(Interpretation of Meaning, al-Qur'an)
Islam is a peaceful and perfect religion. It is a complete and perfect Way of Life. However, most importantly, and most regretably, it must be stressed that many whom follow it are not perfect and thus tarnish the name. It must be understood that foreign policy is the root cause of all 'Islamic' or 'Muslim' terrorism - biased and unconditional support for Israel and Zionism, and not Qur'anic teachings as the controlled media tell us. However, this does not justify the killing of innocents, as caegorically stated in the Qur'an. Although some believe bystanders to be legitimate targets I, and th vast majority of Muslims, do not believe, advocate nor support this. Saying that Islam and Terrorism are one and the same is like saying Judaism and Zionism are equal. No, the war on 'Terrorism' and 'Islamic Extremism' is less about fighting terrorism and more about silencing those who dissent from the West's endless wars against the Middle East and support for Zionism and Israel.
"Do not spread corruption in the land."
- al-Baqarah,
2:11
(Interpretation of Meaning, al-Qur'an)
"Do not confuse truth with falesehood, nor conceal the truth when you know it."
- al-Baqarah,
2:42
(Interpretation of Meaning, al-Qur'an)
"But those who believe and work deeds of righteousness, and believe in the (Revelation) sent down to Muhammad - for it is the Truth from their Lord,- He will remove from them their ills and improve their condition." - Muhammad, 47:2 (Interpretation of Meaning, al-Qur'an)
It is not (possible) that a man, to whom is given the Book, and Wisdom, and the prophetic office, should say to people: "Be ye my worshippers rather than Allah's": on the contrary (He would say) "Be ye worshippers of Him Who is truly the Cherisher of all: For ye have taught the Book and ye have studied it earnestly." - 3:79
Allah, There is no god but He; of a surety He will gather you together against the Day of Judgment, about which there is no doubt. And whose word can be truer than Allah's? - 4:87
"It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts." - Sherlock Holmes - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
"When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth ..." - Sherlock Holmes - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
"Seek help with patient perseverance" - The Qur'an, Al-Baqarah 2:153 - Interpretation of Meaning
