Muslims worship Muhammad

Tue, 14 Oct 2008 13:50:00 +0600

Muslims worship Muhammad

According to Islaamic belief, the Prophet Muhammad was the last Messenger of God. He, like all of God's prophets and messengers - such as Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus -- was only a human being. Christians came to the mistaken assumption that Muslims worship Muhammad by formulating an incorrect analogy - they worship Jesus so they assumed Muslims worship Muhammad. This is one of the reasons that they called Muslims by the incorrect name "Mohammedans" for so many years!

Frequently Asked Questions! About islam1

Q: What is Jihad? A: Jihad in Arabic by its literal-meaning means "struggle", it's the struggle against the desires and lusts in general, but in particular it means the "Holy War" against the infidels who fight against the Muslims.

Q: Why should women cover themselves in Islam?

A: Islam considers a woman as a jewel and a pearl, for her protection from wrongdoers she must be covered very well. Hejab (women's cover) is also a sign of virtue and modesty and above all it’s the command of Allah to women to cover their hair and their body and the command if Allah is not negotiable.

Muslims worship a different God

Tue, 14 Oct 2008 13:50:00 +0600

Muslims worship a different God

First of all, there is only One God who created the Universe and all of mankind. Throughout history, people have created false gods in their minds and come up with false ideas about Almighty God, but regardless of this there is still only One True God - and He alone is worthy of worship. Unfortunately, some non-Muslims have come to incorrectly believe that Muslims worship a different God than Jews and Christians.

Muhammad wrote the Quran

Muhammad wrote the Quran

In addressing this misconception, it is interesting to note that no other religious scripture claims to be the direct word of Almighty God in total and as clear and as often as the Holy Qur.aan. As the Qur.aan clearly says: "if had been written by man, you would have found many discrepancies therein".

Islaam is a religion for Arabs only

Tue, 14 Oct 2008 13:40:00 +0600

Islaam is a religion for Arabs only

The fastest way to prove that this is completely false is to state the fact that only about 15% to 20% of the Muslims in the world are Arabs. There are more Indian Muslims than Arab Muslims, and more Indonesian Muslims than Indian Muslims!Believing that Islaam is only a religion for Arabs is a myth that was spread by the enemies of Islaam early in its history. This mistaken assumption is possibly based on the fact that most of the first generation of Muslims were Arabs, the Qur.aan is in Arabic and the Prophet Muhammad was an Arab. However, both the teachings of Islaam and the history of its spread show that the early Muslims made every effort to spread their message of Truth to all nations, races and peoples.

Muslims hate Jesus

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 20:00:00 +0600

Muslims hate Jesus

Many non-Muslims are surprised to find out that according to Muslim belief, Jesus, the son of Mary, is one of the greatest messengers of God. Muslims are taught to love Jesus, and a person cannot be a Muslim without believing in the virgin birth and miracles of Jesus Christ, peace be upon him.

Muslims believe these things about Jesus not because of the Bible or any other religion, but simply because the Holy Qur.aan says these things about him.

Islaam was spread by the sword

Islaam was spread by the sword

Many non-Muslims, when they think about Islaam, picture religious fanatics on camels with a sword in one hand and a Qur.aan in the other. This myth, which was made popular in Europe during the Crusades, is totally baseless. First of all, the Holy Qur.aan clearly says "Let there be no compulsion in religion". In addition to this, Islaam teaches that a person's faith must be pure and sincere, so it is certainly not something that can be forced on someone. In debunking the myth that Islaam was "spread by the sword", the (non-Muslim) historian De Lacy O' Leary wrote: "History makes it clear, however, that the legend of fanatical Muslims sweeping through the world and forcing Islaam at the point of the sword upon conquered races is one of the most fantastically absurd myths that historians have ever accepted." (Islaam at the Crossroads, London, 1923, p. 8.).

Islaam is fatalistic

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 19:50:00 +0600

Islaam is fatalistic

Most Muslims find it rather odd that their religion, which strikes a beautiful balance between faith and action, could be accused of being "fatalistic". Perhaps this misconception came about because Muslims are taught to say "Praise be to God!" whenever anything good or bad happens. This is because Muslims know that everything comes from Almighty God, who is the All-Knowing Sustainer of the Universe, and that since a Muslim should rely completely on God, whatever happened must have been for the better. However, this does not mean that Muslims are not taught to take action in life, quite simply the opposite is true

Islaam requires not only faith, but action -- such as regular prayer, fasting and charity. To be more precise, in Islaam actions are part of one's faith. Islaam totally rejects the extreme beliefs of some religions that teach that you shouldn't go to a doctor when sick, but only pray for God to heal you.

MUSLIMS ARE FUNDAMENTALISTS AND TERRORISTS

Question:

Why are most of the Muslims fundamentalists and terrorists?

Answer:

This question is often hurled at Muslims, either directly or indirectly, during any discussion on religion or world affairs. Muslim stereotypes are perpetuated in every form of the media accompanied by gross misinformation about Islam and Muslims. In fact, such misinformation and false propaganda often leads to discrimination and acts of violence against Muslims. A case in point is the anti-Muslim campaign in the American media following the Oklahoma bomb blast, where the press was quick to declare a Middle Eastern conspiracy behind the attack. The culprit was later identified as a soldier from the American Armed Forces. Let us analyze this allegation of fundamentalism and terrorism
