Asalamu alaikum warahmatulahi wabarakatuh.



the same article, one for muslims and one for a non muslim audience.


we want this article to be as simple as possible as you can see, and we want it to bring a clear message - that Islam is against the killing of innocents. since non muslims don't know muslims, they only recieve what they see on the news, so all i want you to do is - copy and paste this onto other forums - if its an Islamic or Muslim populated forum, to ask the Muslims there to forward it to all the forums they're registered to. And if its a non muslim site, to simply copy and paste it there and run back here to report to us where you've done that (if you wna.)



If someone is too tired to register onto new forums, then only do it on the forums or sites you're registered on.

Or someone can vote to search for new sites, and someone else can follow those links and create new accounts on them sites, and someone else can opt to copy and paste the articles onto the different sites using them registered accounts (team work huh?)

[Qatada]

This is for Muslims, so if they see the article - they know the evidences to give a clear view that Islam is against terrorism. So they can pass it onto others, or they can atleast be informed of the truth.

For Muslim Related Forums:

Alot of People don't know where the Muslims stand today, with all these attacks going on - we're all confused. Is this terrorism a part of Islam? What should the Muslims really be doing?


We know there's quite alot of verses in the Qur'an which call against killing and harming innocent people;


Whosoever kills a human being for other than manslaughter or corruption in the earth, it shall be as if he had killed all mankind, and whoso saves the life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind.

[Qur'an 5:32]



So it's mentioned that killing one person unjustly is like killing all of mankind, and saving the life of one person is like saving all of mankind.


Now some people are still confused, are we supposed to be kind to non muslims? The answer for this is also in the Qur'an:


Allah/God forbids you not, with regard to those who fight you not for (your) Faith nor drive you out of your homes, from dealing kindly and justly with them: for Allah loves those who are just.

[Qur'an 60:8]


So Allah/God is telling us that He does not stop us from dealing kindly and justly with the people who don't fight us for our faith. He encourages us to be kind and just towards them, and He loves that.




But then there's some people who twist the words of the Qur'an and argue that Muslims are allowed to kill the people who attack Muslim lands. Does this mean that the non fighters should be fought aswell?

Let's look at what the Messenger of Allah, Muhammad (peace be upon him) said;


The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) forbade the killing of non-combatants. Ibn `Umar, a Companion of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), said: “I saw the body of a slain woman during one of the battles of the Prophet (peace be upon him), so he forbade the killing of women and children.” [Sahîh al-Bukhârî and Sahîh Muslim]


This narration shows how it's forbidden to kill people who are not fighting the Muslims, and this includes the innocent people who are living their daily lives within the lands we're living in. Such as the UK, Europe, USA etc.


And even when defense is allowed in Islam, innocent people are not to be killed either;


Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) used to say the following words to his troops before sending them to war: “Go forward in the name of Allah. Do not kill an elderly person, nor a child, nor a woman, and do not exceed the bounds.” [ al-Muwatta’]

maybe if we as Muslims can speak out to others - condemning the kind of stuff which is wrong, our lives as Muslims might become abit more easier insha Allah (God willing.) So spread this far and wide! You might just stop a terrorist attack.. or something?

[Qatada]

see how i've added that link of IslamReligion dot com there :p it's a clever idea to introduce people to Islam if they're interested.. cuz instead of them doing searches over the net on Islam - if they like your article, it's better to give them a trustworthy authentic link so if they're interested - they will take a look at something correct.


Plus, usually arguments and debates might occur, but by giving the correct link - the person who's interested will check it out of curiousity.. so they might totally ignore a debate which comes later.. since the link may seem more interesting and beneficial to them..



Allahu a'lam.

asalamu alaikum warahmatulahi wabarakatuh


good good, this ones abit edited and aimed at non muslim audiences (a slight change of some wording insha Allah: )

For Non-Muslim Related Forums:

Alot of People don't know where the Muslims stand today, with all these attacks going on - everyone's all confused. Is this terrorism a part of Islam? If so, why is Islam the most followed religion in the world today?



We know there's quite alot of verses in the Qur'an which call against killing and harming innocent people, and about the importance of life;


Whosoever kills a human being for other than manslaughter or corruption in the earth, it shall be as if he had killed all mankind, and whoso saves the life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind.

[Qur'an 5:32]



So it's mentioned by God, that killing one person unjustly is like killing all of mankind, and saving the life of one person is like saving all of mankind.


Now some people are still confused, are Muslims' really supposed to be kind to non muslims? The answer for this is also in the Qur'an:


Allah/God forbids you not, with regard to those who fight you not for (your) Faith nor drive you out of your homes, from dealing kindly and justly with them: for Allah loves those who are just.

[Qur'an 60:8]


So Allah/God is telling Muslims' that He does not stop us from dealing kindly and justly with the people who don't fight us for our faith. He encourages us to be kind and just towards them, and He loves that, since that is justice.




But then there's some people who twist the words of the Qur'an and argue that Muslims are allowed to kill the people who attack Muslim lands. Does this mean that the non fighters who are living their normal daily lives away from the battlefield, should they be fought aswell?

Let's look at what the final Messenger of Allah/God, Muhammad (peace be upon him) said;


The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) forbade the killing of non-combatants. Ibn `Umar, a Companion of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), said: “I saw the body of a slain woman during one of the battles of the Prophet (peace be upon him), so he forbade the killing of women and children.” [Sahîh al-Bukhârî and Sahîh Muslim]

Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) used to say the following words to his troops before sending them to war (i.e. in defense): “Go forward in the name of Allah. Do not kill an elderly person, nor a child, nor a woman, and do not exceed the bounds.” [ al-Muwatta’]

WassalamuAlaykum

wa alaikum asalam warahmatulahi wabarakatuh



oh yeh, i just want to add that there probably WILL be disbelievers who will quote anti-islamic sites and become sarcastic etc. but that doesn't really matter, the main aim of this is to get it as far and widespread as possible so the message is put across to those who are willing to know the truth. Once you've posted it there - you can run away and never see that site again (if you feel returning will weaken you in eman if you see the peoples responses)


BUT if you really, really do be up for debate, then you can use this link if they quote twisted meanings of Qur'an;

Yeah - 2 posts = one for a Muslim audience and one for Non Muslim audience (each with a slight change of wording to fit with the audience its intended for.)



You can post the above 2 posts on the Islamic sites and ask people to spread them forward (according to which group of people they would send it to i.e. non muslims or muslims), kind of like a 'chain mail' even! Seriously.. even email is useful, since so much fake islamic emails are sent all through them - maybe this one can be a beneficial chain mail insha Allah.. something which will help muslims who are even confused on the issue.




erm.. thats about it, if any of you guys have any other ideas for stuff we can do like this - then start posting in the dawah project section insha Allah.. once this section expands - we can split it into sub-categories then insha Allah.

[Hayaa]

AssalamuAlaykum

Ok JazakAllah khayr...

I meant two posts as in duplicates, mistake on your part I think, Khayr....

...These two forums are ones that I'm not registered on, if anybody is already registered please do post the above articles on them insha'Allah...
