[IslamCity] Response to Muslim Code of Behavior Comment

Sat, 07 May 2005 15:49:57 -0700

ASA, I don't understand your point Shaikh.  I didn't write the muslim code of behavior, I just forwarded it.  Besides i believe and practice the principle that there is no compulsion in Al-Islam.  Compulsion is a key part of oppression and dictatorship, which I am working to eradicate from our model muslim community. 
 
I simply state my personal points of view.  I am not trying to make anyone else do anything, except stop their oppressive behavior.  So I don't understand your "gun" analogy.  Every reader can decide for themselves how they view my comments.  I try to make sure that they are within the boundaries of Islamic law and principle.  And when anyone challenges that, then, Inshallah,  I respond with proof and evidence, to support them,  not just conjecture.  None of this involves force.
 
Peace, Curtis Sharif

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.}
(Holy Quran-16:125)

{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)

The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]

The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)  also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
