As salamu alaykum,
with all due Respect.
@ Jack.
Okay, no problem, thanks for reminding me and God Bless you.
Sister Leyna, my apologies then.
@ Harris.
Don't worry. We then should not be like them. I think and also strongly believe that we should and maybe even must be a not only a better example but example in general, so that all can see it. I'm sorry for speaking for the majority but at the moment I see two really huge problems:
1. We are seperating ourselves into "us" and "them". We should be uniting and look for ways to get together and eliminate the differences. All that stands in the way, are the books written by those men. hadeeth by Bukhary & co. We're at war with sunnah and ahdeeth and not with "them". God knows Best.
2. The non-muslims see terrorists in us. That's not good. I'm not saying in all of us but sometimes in most of us. That's not good. One man just wanted to burn The Qur'an. See what happened? Salman Rushdie narrated hadeeth and they issued a fatwa. Person makes a exit from Islam - Allah SWT guides whomever He wants - but sometimes such a person dies under the hands of the men that misunderstand The Qur'an and rather follow books written by men.
No disrespect, brother Harris but I have several friends who are non-muslims, they're christians and they see a good example in certain muslims, Thank God and this is still very small step but Thank God we have began, AlhamdilAllah.
No disrespect, amigo.
God Bless you.
Peace.
