These guys are really ....

I tried my best but wasn't able to attatch this picture.... so, here is the link..

“You do not do evil to those who do evil to you, but you deal with them with forgiveness and kindness.” (Sahih Al-Bukhari)

Muslims should follow the example of Prophet Muhammad (peace be on him), even in the worst of circumstances. Do not react violently as a reaction to devilish cartoons. Islam is a message for the salvation of humanity!

How many times it has been said by Ulamah to not to provoke the situation and to have a rational talk.... At one point an Alim also said,

" Use the opportunity to explain to the world the great personality of Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam]. His lifestyle and character should be printed and published all around the world. This will be an eye opener to many ignorant people and a means of guidance. Take out the positive aspects from a negative one and use the situation to our advantage. Every Muslim should say and write something about our beloved Rasul [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam]."

and

" Do not conduct ourselves with our fellow non-Muslim citizens in a way that offend them and look for an opportunity to get back at us. We will then be the cause of them showing disrespect to Islam and Islamic values. Always express good character and conduct to all.

The most important issue in expressing our love and honour for Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] is following his Sunnah. Expressing our anger at the disrespect to Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] is important but it will be hypocritical if we do not emulate the outward appearance, beard, dressing, etc. and noble character of Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam]. Every one should obtain a kitaab on the Sunnats of Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] and implement that in our lives and pass this over to others."

Just one more Comment....

A comment I gave on "http://www.brashlimburg.com/2005/07/troubling-developments-in-iraq/"

Hmm...., Democracy as far as i understand is "Government by the people, exercised either directly or through elected representatives". Well.., my dear fellows.. lets clear one thing first for whatever I say here is what Islam teaches not what majority of muslims are doing... In Islam rulers (Government) are chosen by people with taking in account their state of piousness... As far as the innovation is concerned then my friends... if innovation is not against the teaching of religion is allowed... ( I am taking innovation in terms of knowledge.., technological development.. etc) but if innovation meant by somebody is to take off your clothes..., show your budd line and in every word saying F**K Yaa... Then it is not at all acceptable...

Whenever it comes to Islam people start their talks from Women right... or some small things and try to make it bigger... My friends..., to understand the working of something one has to go into the details and backgrounds...

Well..., it is a huge discussion but i would just put only few compact words on it... Allah (God) says, Say that Allah is the one. He needs nobody's Help. He has no son nor He has father... He is from the start and till the end..

Once, you believe in Allah(God) you follow your life according to what He requires us to do... The thing with Islam is..., it defines all the ways of life... Means.., the way a muslim spends his life is defined... That is why some say that Islam is a way of life...

As far as attacks and everything is concerned..., then I would say that open your eyes... broaden your view and try to see beyond what has been represented infront of you guys...

I was watching a documentary...

The title was "The power of nightmares" and the documentary was from BBC..


" The problem of the society is... that they believe in nothing.. and people who believe in nothing are scared of the people who believe in something... So, people who believe in nothing they label people with Fundamentalists and Fanatic... It is not the people who believe in something that are isolated ... but the fact is we have closed our eyes and our conscience are not clear".

I would like you guys to see this documentary... and then come back to me... and we will discuss rationally...

Thanks for reading it all...

For what this blog is?

For what this blog is? hmm…

I see this blog to share thoughts, share what abt ur daily life… as your colleagues want to know where r u these days, if u r still in uit then let know us about uit… and much more… personally I don’t want to specify a domain instead just about uit and uitians life.

The purpose of this blog.....

I don't know about others but I take this blog as sharig informal views of daily activities, tafreeh and intersting materials. To be really honest I learnt how to explain myself and to be creative ( which I know you guys won't agree with ) through this blog...

By the way I leave the serious details to Imm bhai as I am not serious at all when it comes to writting a blog... :) thats the idea... I write what I feel like...

I started off writting this blog to take a break from my tight schedule and busy life... and ruin people's smooth going life ;) and I quite acheived my goal...

But you guys require my view to see it all happening... and I know you guys can't have it... cuz, my glasses number is 0.05 and I have focus problem... :)

So..., cheer up guys and if you feel as if I have made lassi (yougurt) of your brain then I think I have succeeded in explaining my point...

Comment on one forum

I was visiting this forum

http://www.ahmedi.org/node/22

and started to be surprised. I am still confused what this site is about? and who is Hazrat misihay Maoud? Guys I am lost help me out.. ... Any how, I wrote this comment but I don't know whether the moderator will allow this or not... but I know this blog is the place where I can put this comment... so, here it is...

"When I started reading I was amazed... one person claiming people gone to moon and we are still beating behind the bush... and other claiming Khalifah is always right... Haaa haaa haa.... and one asking why so hatred between Ahmadiyaa and other sect of Islam...

Come on you guys... open up your eyes... and your brain and start thinking rationally... First of All... Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) had already told us that there would be no prophet comming after him... Secondly, if somebody comes and start telling something which is against Quran and Sunnah then he is not right at all....

Why hatred... guys... a person changing something in Quran and Sunnah ( even wrong interpretation which has been identified by Ulamah) or claiming to be a Prophet is out of the school of Islam... This religion is not the inheritory religion it is the religion by choice...

So, rather than closing your eyes and ears and saying that Khalifah is always right... open up your heart and start analyzing the stuff again...

By the way religion Islam is the way of life... no matter if Human goes to Mars in future... the muslim spends his life the way he has been asked by Allah... Islam doesn't stops from advancement but in progress of being advanced don't forget who you are... Muslim...

May Allah helps us all...."

Playing dumb...

Well.., going through some articles and read this statement... would like you guys to say something about it, (cuz, I am playing dumb today...) ofcourse... if you have time.... ;)


"Women, fairly or unfairly, are judged on their looks, and men, fairly or unfairly, are judged on their money, their power and their status"

For what this blog is?

For everything but not for Everything , the time apparently comes to atleast scrutinize for what THE THING is...now lets put up this formula to this POOR blog!

Qabil-e-Ehtaraam bhai dostoon or buzurgoon ...for God sake yaar....just drop a line-of-your-thought that how come this dumb (but loving) blog JUST starts to work...I really gald to see that few buds at least dropped by in a time age...but its really need to stream line the work.yeah, here is the gist...take this jargon "stream line" and kindly share how this blog will ever work?

Contest for cartoons about the Holocaust....

Well.., Take that european newspapers... It would be interesting what happens regarding this contest in european newspapers....

I would again quote from my blog "Before I Go" i.e.

" The problem of the society is... that they believe in nothing.. and people who believe in nothing are scared of the people who believe in something... So, people who believe in nothing they label people with Fundamentalists and Fanatic... It is not the people who believe in something that are isolated ... but the fact is we have closed our eyes and our conscience are not clear".

When it comes to religion newspapers are free to write... lets see what they do about it....

Following news is taken from....

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4688466.stm

An Iranian paper is holding a contest for cartoons about the Holocaust, to retaliate against the publication of images of the Prophet Muhammad.

Hamshahri says it wants to test the boundaries of free speech, echoing the reasons European papers gave for publishing the caricatures.

There have been protests about the images across the Muslim world, where they are seen as insulting and racist.

One showed Muhammad, whose image is banned in Islam, as a terrorist bomber.

"Does the West's freedom of expression extend to... an event such as the Holocaust or is this freedom of expression only for the desecration of the sanctities of divine religions?" the best-selling paper said in its announcement.

It also asks for cartoons covering "America and Israel's crimes and plundering".

Iran's conservative rulers are supportive of so-called Holocaust revisionist historians, who argue that the systematic slaughter of Jews by Nazi Germany during World War II has been exaggerated for political ends.

Hitler formula

Graphics editor Farid Mortazavi, who announced the contest, challenged Western newspapers to publish the Iranian cartoons as they did the European ones.

As the row has escalated, Tehran has cut trade ties with Denmark because of the cartoons, first published there last September by the conservative Jyllands-Posten newspaper, and recalled its ambassador in Copenhagen.

Hamshahri is offering gold coins to the best 12 artists - the same number of cartoons that were commissioned by Jyllands-Posten.

It claims to be "keeping its distance from vindictive or irrational conduct" and says full details will be published on 13 February.

The dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Centre, a Jewish human rights and educational organisation, condemned the competition.

"They're following the classic formula of Adolf Hitler, which says if there's a problem, it's the fault of the Jews," said Rabbi Marvin Hier in an interview with AFP.

Don't Be Fooled This Isn't An Issue Of Islam Versus Secularism

I have emailed the author of this article that in the last paragraph he is wrong about the allowance of picture in Quran. I have taken off that paragraph while pasting it over here... You can access this article over here...

Other than that this article is quite enlightened one....

Don't Be Fooled This Isn't An Issue Of Islam Versus Secularism

By Robert Fisk

07 February, 2006
The Independent

So now it's cartoons of the Prophet Mohamed with a bomb-shaped turban. Ambassadors are withdrawn from Denmark, Gulf nations clear their shelves of Danish produce, Gaza gunmen threaten the European Union. In Denmark, Fleming Rose, the "culture" editor of the pip-squeak newspaper which published these silly cartoons--last September, for heaven's sake--announces that we are witnessing a "clash of civilisations" between secular Western democracies and Islamic societies. This does prove, I suppose, that Danish journalists follow in the tradition of Hans Christian Anderson. Oh lordy, lordy. What we're witnessing is the childishness of civilisations.

So let's start off with the Department of Home Truths. This is not an issue of secularism versus Islam. For Muslims, the Prophet is the man who received divine words directly from God. We see our prophets as faintly historical figures, at odds with our high-tech human rights, almost cariacatures of themselves. The fact is that Muslims live their religion. We do not. They have kept their faith through innumerable historical vicissitudes. We have lost our faith ever since Matthew Arnold wrote about the sea's "long, withdrawing roar". That's why we talk about "the West versus Islam" rather than "Christians versus Islam"--because there aren't an awful lot of Christians left in Europe. There is no way we can get round this by setting up all the other world religions and asking why we are not allowed to make fun of Mohamed.

Besides, we can exercise our own hypocrisy over religious feelings. I happen to remember how, more than a decade ago, a film called The Last Temptation of Christ showed Jesus making love to a woman. In Paris, someone set fire to the cinema showing the movie, killing a young man. I also happen to remember a US university which invited me to give a lecture three years ago. I did. It was entitled "September 11, 2001: ask who did it but, for God's sake, don't ask why". When I arrived, I found that the university had deleted the phrase "for God's sake" because "we didn't want to offend certain sensibilities". Ah-ha, so we have "sensibilities" too.

In other words, while we claim that Muslims must be good secularists when it comes to free speech--or cheap cartoons--we can worry about adherents to our own precious religion just as much. I also enjoyed the pompous claims of European statesmen that they cannot control free speech or newspapers. This is also nonsense. Had that cartoon of the Prophet shown instead a chief rabbi with a bomb-shaped hat, we would have had "anti-Semitism" screamed into our ears--and rightly so--just as we often hear the Israelis complain about anti-Semitic cartoons in Egyptian newspapers.

Furthermore, in some European nations--France is one, Germany and Austria are among the others--it is forbidden by law to deny acts of genocide. In France, for example, it is illegal to say that the Jewish Holocaust or the Armenian Holocaust did not happen. So it is, in fact, impermissable to make certain statements in European nations. I'm still uncertain whether these laws attain their objectives; however much you may prescribe Holocaust denial, anti-Semites will always try to find a way round. We can hardly exercise our political restraints to prevent Holocaust deniers and then start screaming about secularism when we find that Muslims object to our provocative and insulting image of the Prophet.

For many Muslims, the "Islamic" reaction to this affair is an embarrassment. There is good reason to believe that Muslims would like to see some element of reform introduced to their religion. If this cartoon had advanced the cause of those who want to debate this issue, no-one would have minded. But it was clearly intended to be provocative. It was so outrageous that it only caused reaction.

And this is not a great time to heat up the old Samuel Huntingdon garbage about a "clash of civilisations". Iran now has a clerical government again. So, to all intents and purposes, does Iraq (which was not supposed to end up with a democratically elected clerical administration, but that's what happens when you topple dictators). In Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood won 20 per cent of the seats in the recent parliamentary elections. Now we have Hamas in charge of "Palestine". There's a message here, isn't there? That America's policies--"regime change" in the Middle East--are not achieving their ends. These millions of voters were preferring Islam to the corrupt regimes which we imposed on them.

For the Danish cartoon to be dumped on top of this fire is dangerous indeed.
