what does islam say abot terrorism ?
Post #1Islam, a religion of mercy, does not permit terrorism. In the Quran, God has said:
“God does not forbid you from showing kindness and dealing justly with those who have not fought you about religion and have not driven you out of your homes. God loves just dealers.” (Quran 60:8)
The Prophet Muhammad, may God praise him, used to prohibit soldiers from killing women and children,[1] and he would advise them: “...Do not betray, do not be excessive, do not kill a newborn child.”[2] And he also said: “Whoever has killed a person having a treaty with the Muslims shall not smell the fragrance of Paradise, though its fragrance is found for a span of forty years.”[3]
Also, the Prophet Muhammad has forbidden punishment with fire.[4]
He once listed murder as the second of the major sins,[5] and he even warned that on the Day of Judgment, “The first cases to be adjudicated between people on the Day of Judgment will be those of bloodshed.[6]”[7]
Muslims are even encouraged to be kind to animals and are forbidden to hurt them. Once the Prophet Muhammad said: “A woman was punished because she imprisoned a cat until it died. On account of this, she was doomed to Hell. While she imprisoned it, she did not give the cat food or drink, nor did she free it to eat the insects of the earth.”[8]
He also said that a man gave a very thirsty dog a drink, so God forgave his sins for this action. The Prophet, may God praise him, was asked, “Messenger of God, are we rewarded for kindness towards animals?” He said: “There is a reward for kindness to every living animal or human.”[9]
Additionally, while taking the life of an animal for food, Muslims are commanded to do so in a manner that causes the least amount of fright and suffering possible. The Prophet Muhammad said: “When you slaughter an animal, do so in the best way. One should sharpen his knife to reduce the suffering of the animal.”[10]
In light of these and other Islamic texts, the act of inciting terror in the hearts of defenseless civilians, the wholesale destruction of buildings and properties, the bombing and maiming of innocent men, women, and children are all forbidden and detestable acts according to Islam and the Muslims. Muslims follow a religion of peace, mercy, and forgiveness, and the vast majority have nothing to do with the violent events some have associated with Muslims. If an individual Muslim were to commit an act of terrorism, this person would be guilty of violating the laws of Islam.

what kind of evidence do you want to see ?I believe in air because I can objectively sense it. I can measure air pressure. I can feel air go in and go out and when it blows against my skin. I have seen no unequivocal evidence for the existance of Allah, Yahweh, Father God, Zeus, Odin, Bramha, Ahura Mazda, Ormazd, El, Ba'al, cosmic consciousness, Hanuman, Siva, the Holy Spirit, Astarte, Inanna, Zoroaster, Shang Ti, Providence, Kami, Hari or Maya.
i think you want me to take you to the sky to show you the god !!
will .. no body can see allah but in paradise
you can not always answer my questions about the beginning of life
will.. i converted to islamic religion because i saw the truth i thought about the one who created us
i looked up to the sky and i said there must be someone created this sky
people always create buildings but who created the sky and the mountains
nothing ever can be found without start
so who started every thing
i found the answers of these questions in quraan and sunnah so i embraced islam
and now me amd my family are muslims (al hamdu lellah )

We are getting off topic. The topic is about the relationship between Islam and terrorism. I have created a new debate thread to pursue this particular topic.

You are the one who claims that God exists. What evidence do you have? As in the case of air, I don't believe without evidence.CONVERTED TO ISLAM wrote:what kind of evidence do you want to see ?

How convenient! You make a claim that Allah exists, but you also seem to claim that it cannot be proven.CONVERTED TO ISLAM wrote:will .. no body can see allah but in paradise
I thought that I did answer your question about the beginning of life.CONVERTED TO ISLAM wrote:you can not always answer my questions about the beginning of life
The honest truth is that no one knows much about the beginning of life. There are two approaches that we can take with regard to this specific ignorance. We can research the known facts and evidence and gradually shed light on the issue through science. Or we can arbitrarily claim that a supernatural being magically did it. Which approach do you prefer?
So if your imam declared a fatwa against me, what would you do?CONVERTED TO ISLAM wrote:and now me amd my family are muslims (al hamdu lellah )

read quraan to know if that from a god or notYou are the one who claims that God exists. What evidence do you have? As in the case of air, I don't believe without evidence.
also you have to read (sunnah) and mohammed`s stories to to know if he was areally prophet or not
you can not discuss any thing without knowing islam
no .. you saw my comments so why you sayin like thatHow convenient! You make a claim that Allah exists, but you also seem to claim that it cannot be proven.
the questions of the beginning of life is avery good evidence
you agree with me that you does not know that !!The honest truth is that no one knows much about the beginning of life
so you have to look for the truth because you does not know the beginning of life
the science can not prove the beginning of lifeWe can research the known facts and evidence and gradually shed light on the issue through science.
you said that >>>
The honest truth is that no one knows much about the beginning of life
my imam !?? who is that and what do you mean ?So if your imam declared a fatwa against me, what would you do?

You're upping the ante on me. First you said the I must read the Qu'ran. Now you say that I must read other stuff too. That's crap. You have got to give me something more. I need a reason to invest the time.CONVERTED TO ISLAM wrote:read quraan to know if that from a god or not

How do you confidently assert that? I only admitted that we don't know yet much about the beginning of life. But we're learning. It happened a very long time ago. There was a very long time when life was all unicellular.CONVERTED TO ISLAM wrote:the science can not prove the beginning of life
you said that
So if your imam declared a fatwa against me, what would you do?
I really don't know. But some Muslims' imam said that van Gogh should die and they killed him. I just wondered if you are the same kind of Muslim.CONVERTED TO ISLAM wrote:my imam !?? who is that and what do you mean ?

first of all . you have to read quraan to know your god after that you can read sunnah to know your prophetYou're upping the ante on me. First you said the I must read the Qu'ran. Now you say that I must read other stuff too. That's crap. You have got to give me something more. I need a reason to invest the time.

First of all, you have got to give me a good reason to do all that reading. I usually read the fly leaf, a good review from a trusted source or know the author's other works before I spend a whole lot of time reading something.CONVERTED TO ISLAM wrote:first of all . you have to read quraan to know your god after that you can read sunnah to know your prophet
Convince me that the Qu'ran is worth it. The samples I have read so far are rather uninspiring. Why don't you point me to some of the sections that actually address the questions I am asking.

Where does the Qu'ran say that life started millions of years ago?CONVERTED TO ISLAM wrote:muslims knew that before 1400 years ago ,,

I am pleased and relieved to hear that you are not that kind of Muslim. A Muslim in our city killed his daughter a little while back because she would not wear the hijab at school.CONVERTED TO ISLAM wrote:i do not have any imam
