Muslim Knowledge of Christian Culture
Zeinul Abideen Al-Rikabi, Arab News
I continue here to comment on Muslim knowledge of Christian Culture
in response to the Archbishop of Canterbury Dr. Rowan Williams call for
Muslims to learn about culture.
The miraculous nature of Jesus prophethood and message is also something
known by Muslims. The Quran states, Then God will say: 0 Jesus son of Mary!
Remember My blessing and grace to you and your mother. I reinforced you with
the Holy Spirit, and you spoke to people in your infancy and maturity. I taught
you the Book, Wisdom, the Torah, and the Bible. You made the figure of a bird
out of clay, and with My permission you blew into it and it came alive, you
healed the born blind and the lepers with My permission. And you resurrected
the dead with My permission. Muslims know Jesus mother and acknowledge her
as a saintly and immaculate figure. They refer to her to as the Virgin Mary
(peace be upon her).
In relation to this, the Quran states, We will mention Mary in the Book,
when she had withdrawn from her family to the East and shielded herself from
them, soon we sent her Our angel (Gabriel) and he appeared before her, a
perfect man. She said to him, I seek Gods protection from you, that is if you
fear Him. He said, I am only a messenger from your Lord to announce to you
the gift of an immaculate son. She said, How should I have a son, when no man
has ever touched me, and I am not a wanton woman? He said, The Lord said that
it shall be, and it shall be effortlessly, and that your son will be a miracle
among men and a mercy to them, and so it has been decreed.
This message is reiterated in another verse of the Quran, And the angels
said, 0 Mary, God has chosen you, purified you, and chosen you above all the
women of the world. Christs disciples (may God be pleased with them) are
also familiar to Muslims. The Quran states, When Jesus found disbelief on
their part, he said, Who shall aid me in the cause of God? So the Apostles
said, We are Gods devotees and will aid in the cause of God; we believe in
God, bear witness that we submit to God.
This is again mentioned in another verse, 0 believers, be devoted to God,
as Jesus, son of Mary, had once said to his disciples, Who will aid the cause
of God? So the Apostles said, We will! Then a group of the Children of
Israel believed but the other group did not, so we empowered those who believed
against their enemies and they prevailed.
Muslims also believe in Christs second coming. The Prophet Muhammad (peace
be upon him) is quoted in Bukhari as saying, I swear by He Who owns my soul,
the son of Mary will soon descend among you and be a just ruler; he will
shatter the cross, kill the swine, and establish peace. And due to the
prevalent affluence, people will reject money that is offered them.
Muslims also know of Christs features and character. Prophet Muhammad (peace
be upon him) is quoted in Bukhari as saying, While I was sleeping, I dreamt
that I was circumambulating the Kaaba and I saw a copper-skinned,
straight-haired man sauntering between two men. I asked, Who is he? And they
said, This is the son of Maryam. In another hadith in Bukhari, Prophet
Muhammad (peace be upon him) describes Christ as a man of medium height,
copper-skinned, and looking as if he had just gotten out of a bath: pure,
radiant, fresh, and luminous.
So in light of these magnificent examples of Muslims extensive knowledge of
Jesus Christ, the Virgin Mary, the Bible, and the venerated Apostles, we might
say with scientific certainty that Muslims are indeed not ignorant of
Christianity. In consideration of this shining vivid truth, Christians ought to
acquire more knowledge, or rather learn more about Islamic culture, before
making such accusations.
This should be done, firstly, with an aim of exchanging knowledge between
Muslims and Christians on Muhammad son of Abdullah and Jesus son of Mary (peace
be upon them both), and, secondly, to deal with the activities of some
Christians that have actively distorted, demeaned and defamed Islam and its
culture. Presuming no ill will on their part, the undisputed conclusion is that
ignorance is the cause of this war on Islam. And nothing will wash away this
ignorance but pure rivers of Islamic knowledge: the Quran, the Sunna,
doctrine, law, and culture. To list a few of the issues that Christians should
know about Muslims is the fact that Muslims are required, as part of their
faith, to believe in Jesus son of Mary and acknowledge him as a prophet and as
Gods messenger. Jesus Christ (peace be upon him) is repeatedly glorified
throughout the Quran and in several hadiths. Likewise, Islam has defended and
vindicated the Virgin Mary from the libelous accusations of her
enemies and their assaults on her immaculate virtue. The Quran states, And
because they disbelieved and wrongfully accused Mary of a grave charge.
With regards to Christians, Islam has established the fact that Christians
are the most amicable and benevolent of people to Muslims. The Quran states,
And you will find those who said we are Christians, the most amicable and
benevolent to Muslims. For there are men devoted to knowledge among them, and
others who have renounced the world, and are not arrogant. Christians should
use this fact as a solid bridge of communication between themselves and Muslims.
Islam has also proclaimed and acknowledged the Christian right of existence
based on the foundations of the Islamic doctrine: acknowledging Jesus and the
Bible, and describing Christians with an objective and delicate epithet in the
Quran and Sunna: The People of the Book. It is inconceivable that this epithet
was meant to degrade them in any way; in fact it was certainly meant to honor
them. Moreover a doctrinal proclamation is embedded in this epithet: Christians
are People with a Book from God. This is the best acknowledgement of their
incorporeal existence, which is also the foundation of their material existence.
Undoubtedly ignorance of such tolerance leads to scientific and behavioral
catastrophes; for example the position Fred Neil, a member of the Australian
Parliament, took when he said, Islam denies Christianity the right to exist!
It is perhaps the task of the Archbishop of Canterbury, and other wise
Christians to abolish such ignorance.

Subject: [zamanku] Agama islam itu REPOT dan RIBET
Dalam memahami agama islam, muslim yang satu dengan muslim yang laen banyak
perbedaan... masing2 meng-claim dirinyalah yang benar
Ada lagi ajaran islam yang mempermasalahkan cara memakai celana... orang muslim
yang pakai celana hingga menutup mata-kakinya... orang itu masuk NERAKA.
Rosululloh SAW bersabda Pakaian orang Islam sampai separuh betis, dan tidak
dosa diantara separuh betis dan di atas kedua mata kaki, apa-apa yang lebih
dari kedua mata kaki (berupa pakaian) maka hukumnya wajib masuk neraka, dan
barang siapa yang memanjangkan pakaiannya karena sombong maka Allah tidak akan
melihat kepadanya.
Kutipan diatas bisa dikatakan Muhammad adalah Allahnya orang islam ... masa
gara2 SALAH pakai celana aja masuk neraka... konyol kan ?!
Kita lihat disekeliling kita... hampir semua laki2 muslim pakai celana rata2
hampir semuanya menutup mata-kaki... ternyata cara berpakaian seperti itu bisa
membawa ke neraka... bener2 repot dan ribet agama islam ini
Bila hal itu diperdebatkan... akan tambah ribet karena di Quran dan Hadist
memang ada 'Dalil" dan 'Ayat'nya mengenai celana itu...

Ternyata Muhammad SAW senang pakaian celana ala Michel Jackson
