I Am Enjoying Being A Muslim

Islam does not deny human weakness. However, it rather recognizes the latent power in human beings. Islam understands that its mission is enabling the power of human beings to overcome their weaknesses, and it tries to raise, develop and promote humanity; not to justify or decorate its weakness.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
[quote]"God will not be merciful to those who are not merciful to mankind."[/quote]

[quote]“Those who are merciful will be shown mercy by the Most Merciful. Be merciful to those on the earth and the One in the heavens will have mercy upon you.”[/quote]

[quote]"The supplication of a Muslim for his brother in his absence will certainly be answered. Every time he makes a supplication for good for his brother, the angel appointed for this particular task says: 'Ameen! May it be for you, too'."[/quote]

I learned to respect and honor [u]all human beings[/u] irrespective of their religion, color, race, gender, language, status, property, birth, profession, and so on. The Quran is a guidance to humanity.

[Quran 2:2]
[quote]"This is the Book in which there is no doubt, a guide for the righteous."[/quote]

[Quran 17:70]
[quote]"[u]We have honored the Children of Adam[/u], and carried them on land and sea, and provided them with good things, and greatly favored them over many of those We created."[/quote]

@IstillmissEP: Respectfully, how to answer unreasonable questions. You are asking, in the name of religion, to condemn political movements. Plus, I gave you clear cut evidences from the Quran to prove what Islam stands for, and that's enough.

@IstillmissEP: I respect your opinion and the experiences you had, but the subject you are going into goes deeper and beyond religion. It's everything from political, to educational, to humanitarian, to social issues mixed all together.

I have a problem though with your method of judging a religion. What a religion preaches and stands for is in its scripture, not based on how its followers behave. If you want to have an opinion about car, you gave this car to a bad driver, and that driver had an accident, who would you blame? The car? Or the driver? If that driver learned how to use the car correctly, we will be able to appreciate the good quality of that car.

Islam is a perfect system. Muslims are not. Not all Muslims you met are following the teachings of Islam correctly, and many of them don't even know what their religion really teaches.

The problems in Muslim world are not there because of Islam, but because of its absence. We see Muslims without Islam, while in some western countries, we see Islam without Muslims.

What we need to do is to change Muslims mentality, and how they interpret their scripture. Muslims need to revive the Islamic education in its correct form.
Really cool what you posted here :). Mashallah
