“If pleasing non-Muslims is a ticket to Jannah”
The way Muslims try to copy non-Muslims in almost everything they do is pathetic. This confirms the Hadeeth;
It was narrated from Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “You will certainly follow the ways of those who came before you hand span by hand span, cubit by cubit, to the extent that if they entered the hole of a lizard, you will enter it too.” We said: “O Messenger of Allaah, (do you mean) the Jews and the Christians?” He said: “Who else?” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1397; Muslim, 4822. ”
Inferiority complex, lack of Islamic knowledge, desires mostly lead to this which boils down to not taking into cognizance the Qur’an verse;
“This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My Favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion”
[al-Maa’idah 5:3]
Today, a Muslim is afraid to stand up for his religion, some are even afraid of being seen as a Muslim in the public. They do not want to be seen as Muslims as they are afraid of being tagged terrorists.
It should be noted that proper Islamic knowledge makes one proud of the religion. You want to call me a terrorist when we have about 1 billion Muslims on earth. Were we all terrorists, how come you could stand to accuse a terrorist of terrorism?
Tell me why you have issue with my beards when you cannot start artists like Rick Ross, Freeway, Rick Rubin etc…
Are you mad at me because I’m not a fan of gender equality? Why should I be when nature does not equalize us? Different time zones, skin, a plant grows here and does not grow there. Why not start with Nature? If He cannot be pregnant and SHE cannot impregnate, why then equalize what is not equal?
It is normal for a non-Muslim not to understand Islam while it it is the duty of Muslims to tell them what Islam is about. Unfortunately, we have so many Muslims without Islam today from extremists to modernists, liberals, rationalists etc…
He is a Yoruba Muslim. He believes in Allah and that the word of Allah is true. He wants to observe Solah yet hold on to the believe that Ogun, Sango etc can handle him while Aje can bring him fortune!
He is a scientist. He is a Muslim, he believes in the Qur’an but still wants to believe that all life on earth have a common descent with the last universal ancestor which existed about 3.8 billion years ago. To him, Charles Darwin comes comes before Sheikh al-Albaani.
Many see what the Qur’an and Sunnah say but want to follow desires then wish their action is right though they know it is not right then resort to warped interpretation of Qur’an verses all based on wanting to be Muslims without practising Islam.
While it is understandable that anyone can believe whatever he wants, self acclaimed Muslims who do not agree with terms like Hijab, Hadeeth, no Music, Niqob, should keep quiet on issues relating to the Deen or sing the “it is their fundamental human rights” anthem.
Freedom for one should be freedom for all, if freedom is having the right to do whatever pleases one, why then not the same for those who want to practice Islam according to the Qur’an and Sunnah.
If HE is FREE to marry HIM and SHE is FREE to marry HER, why not FREE to be a “MUSLIM”
