Apa sahaja yang dijunjung-tinggi oleh seseorang Muslim sebagai kudus akan sentiasa diperangi lagi digempur oleh Barat melalui wakil-wakil rasmi dan tidak rasminya, daripada kesahihan al-Qur'an al-Karim dan Syariahnya membawa kepada peribadi Rasulullah S.A.W., ahli keluarga serta sahabag baginda, daripada hukum-hakam Syariah sepeti kedudukan wanita dan kekeluargaan eshinggalah kepada dasar-dasar tata-susila Islam. Hatta, kebebasan insan telah pun ditafsir dan ditinjau hanya dari sudut terlepasnya manusia dariapda ikatan agama dan akhlak tradisional dan keagamaan; bukan kebebasan daripada kecenderungan-kecenderungan diri haiwani nan keji.

apportionment in the world. Thus, one is opposing how God meted out sustenance in concord with His wisdom. Therefore, one must oppose his own ego's desires and seek treatment for this disease with the healing force of acceptance of the divine decree and prayer on behalf of one's enemies in a way that suppresses the ego [nafs].

Apostasy was the major justification for terminating internal opposition throughout the history of Islamic empires. That is why we have heard of whole tribes and groups being eradicated for apostasy. Muslim philosophers, mathematicians and scientists were killed or exiled for apostasy and thus, the Muslim world stood still in all scientific and aesthetic fields.

Arabic science throughout its golden age was inextricably linked to religion; indeed, it was driven by the need of early scholars to interpret the Qur'an.

Arabs and other Muslims generally agreed that Saddam Hussein might be a bloody tyrant, but, paralleling FDR's thinking, "he is our bloody tyrant." In their view, the invasion was a family affair to be settled within the family and those who intervened in the name of some grand theory of international justice were doing so to protect their own selfish interests and to maintain Arab subordination to the west.

•• Arrogance and pride were the reasons Shaytaan was expelled from paradise. Do not let it be the reason you don't enter paradise.!!

Artinya, Anda lebih mulai tertarik untuk mempelajari Qur’an sebagai sumber informasi yang ditinggalkan Nabi Muhammad dan menurut orang Islam masih otentik hingga sekarang dibanding menilai agama ini dari perilaku penganutnya?

A Rule: Life without Islam is a naked tree, Birds without trees can never feel free.

As a Christian from a Muslim background, I find it fascinating that the culture of confusion speedily brands someone that criticizes Islam to be a racist. Islam is religion, not a race. People from many races and ethnicities embrace Islam. Calling someone a racist for criticizing Islam ignores Islam's racial and ethnic diversity. And so one could more justifiably call such a confused use of the term 'racist' to be, well racist itself.

As a convinced atheist, I ought to agree with Voltaire that Judaism is not just one more religion, but in its way the root of religious evil. Without the stern, joyless rabbis and their 613 dour prohibitions, we might have avoided the whole nightmare of the Old Testament, and the brutal, crude wrenching of that into prophecy-derived Christianity, and the later plagiarism and mutation of Judaism and Christianity into the various rival forms of Islam. Much of the time, I do concur with Voltaire, but not without acknowledging that Judaism is dialectical. There is, after all, a specifically Jewish version of the eighteenth-century Enlightenment, with a specifically Jewish name—the Haskalah—for itself. The term derives from the word for 'mind' or 'intellect,' and it is naturally associated with ethics rather than rituals, life rather than prohibitions, and assimilation over 'exile' or 'return.' It's everlastingly linked to the name of the great German teacher Moses Mendelssohn, one of those conspicuous Jewish hunchbacks who so upset and embarrassed Isaiah Berlin. (The other way to upset or embarrass Berlin, I found, was to mention that he himself was a cousin of Menachem Schneerson, the 'messianic' Lubavitcher rebbe.) However, even pre-enlightenment Judaism forces its adherents to study and think, it reluctantly teaches them what others think, and it may even teach them how to think also.

As Fouad Ajami observed, the inability to relate cause to effect is pandemic in the Islamic world.

As for the negation of the Christian Trinity in the Quran - and this negation is extrinsic and conditional - we must take account of certain shades of meaning. The Trinity can be envisaged according to a "vertical" perspective or according to either of two "horizontal" perspectives, one of them being supreme and the other not. The vertical perspective- Beyond-Being, Being and Existence - envisages the hypostases as "descending" from Unity or from the Absolute - or from the Essence it could be said - which means that it envisages the degrees of Reality. The supreme horizontal perspective corresponds to the Vedantic triad Sat (supraontological Reality), Chit (Absolute Consciousness) and Ananda (Infinite Beatitude), which means that it envisages the Trinity inasmuch as It is hidden in Unity(1). The non-supreme horizontal perspective on the contrary situates Unity as an essence hidden within the Trinity, which is then ontological and represents the three fundamental aspects or modes of Pure Being, whence the triad : Being, Wisdom, Will (Father, Son, Spirit). Now the concept of a Trinity seen as a deployment (tajalli) of Unity or of the Absolute is in no way opposed to the unitary doctrine of Islam ; what is opposed to it is solely the attribution of absoluteness to the Trinity alone, or even to the ontological Trinity alone, as it is envisaged exoterically. This last point of view does not, strictly speaking, attain to the Absolute and this is as much as to say that it attributes an absolute character to what is relative and is ignorant of Maya and the degrees of reality or of illusion ; it does not conceive of the metaphysical - but not pantheistic - identity between manifestation and the Principle; still less, therefore, does it conceive of the consequence this identity implies from the point of view of the intellect and the knowledge which delivers. (1) The Absolute is not the Absolute inasmuch as it contains aspects, but inasmuch as It transcends them; inasmuch as It is Trinity It is therefore not Absolute.

A sincere call to the Almighty can change what you may have thought was impossible to change. Never lose hope.

As Osama bin Laden puts it: "In this final phase of the ongoing struggle, the world of the infidels was divided between two superpowers--the United States and the Soviet Union. Now we have defeated and destroyed the more difficult and the more dangerous of the two. Dealing with the pampered and effeminate Americans will be easy.

As the government of the United States is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion, — as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion or tranquility of Musselmen — and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.

As the ninth-century legal scholar Malik ibn Anas, founder of the Maliki school of law, once quipped, “This religion is a science, so pay close attention to those from whom you learn it.

As to the 'Left' I'll say briefly why this was the finish for me. Here is American society, attacked under open skies in broad daylight by the most reactionary and vicious force in the contemporary world, a force which treats Afghans and Algerians and Egyptians far worse than it has yet been able to treat us. The vaunted CIA and FBI are asleep, at best. The working-class heroes move, without orders and at risk to their lives, to fill the moral and political vacuum. The moral idiots, meanwhile, like Falwell and Robertson and Rabbi Lapin, announce that this clerical aggression is a punishment for our secularism. And the governments of Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, hitherto considered allies on our 'national security' calculus, prove to be the most friendly to the Taliban and Al Qaeda. Here was a time for the Left to demand a top-to-bottom house-cleaning of the state and of our covert alliances, a full inquiry into the origins of the defeat, and a resolute declaration in favor of a fight to the end for secular and humanist values: a fight which would make friends of the democratic and secular forces in the Muslim world. And instead, the near-majority of 'Left' intellectuals started sounding like Falwell, and bleating that the main problem was Bush's legitimacy. So I don't even muster a hollow laugh when this pathetic faction says that I, and not they, are in bed with the forces of reaction.

As we have seen in the data, resentment against the West comes from what Muslims perceive as the West's hatred and denigration of Islam; the Western belief that Arabs and Muslims are inferior,; and their fear of Western intervention, domination, or occupation. (p. 141)

A true god surely cannot have been born of a girl, nor died on the gibbet, nor be eaten in a piece of dough... [or inspired] books, filled with contradictions, madness, and horror.

At a cellular level of the human mind, Islamophobia is not really a matter of social stigma, rather it is a natural biological fear response of the general human mind, conditioned through countless pairings between terrorist attacks (unconditioned stimulus) and their apparent association with Islam (conditioned stimulus). Hence, Islamophobia cannot be eradicated completely, unless that pairing is severed and thereafter the conditioned stimulus of Islam is paired with something optimistic such as the heartwarming works of the 13th century Persian Muslim poet Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi.

At the height of the 2015 crisis the single offer the Saudis did make was to build 200 new mosques in Germany for the benefit of the country’s new arrivals.

ayat-ayat suci adalah jeram yang dingin mengalir dan menempuh hutan liar hutan liar adalah diriku ayat-ayat suci adalah jeram yang bening aku bercermin membasuh hatiku (Di Depan Rehal)

At times, interpreters of the tradition completely missed the moral point of the Qur’anic message and generated determinations that locked the Qur’an into a short-sighted and inadequate sphere of meaning. But I think Wadud also makes a significant point here. As Muslims, we adhere to the religious conviction that the morality of the Qur’an will always exceed the morality of its interpreters. In other words, I do not believe that human beings can claim to have understood the message of the Qur’an perfectly and completely. Falling short of the Qur’an’s moral message is inevitable, but is also an impetus to engage in a never-ending dynamic of moral exploration and interpretation.

A world that becomes more Muslim becomes less everything else. First it’s Jews, already abandoning France. Then it’s homosexuals, already under siege from gay-bashing in Amsterdam, ‘the most tolerant city in Europe’. Then it’s uncovered women, targetted for rape in Oslo. And if you don’t any longer have any Jews or (officially) any gays or (increasingly) uncovered women, there are always just Christians in general, from Nigeria to Egypt to Pakistan. More space for Islam means less space for everything else, and in the end for you.

Banyak orang tidak tahu bahwa seorang doktor dan profesor itu biasanya hanya menguasai satu bidang yang kecil sahaja. Mereka punya kekhususan. Ada profesor yang bidangnya sejarah tidak mengkaji syariah secara mendalam, tetapi sering bicara tentang syariah. Orang memanggilnya ulama, padahal ilmu agamanya belum mendalam. Makanya, di pesantren kita diajarkan adab, bukan hanya ilmu. Kita harus tahu diri, kalau tidak tahu harus mengatakan tidak tahu. Masalahnya, akan menjadi sangat rumit jika orang tidak tahu tetapi merasa tahu. Ini yang namanya orang yang tersesat.

Based on the experience of history and civilization of mankind, which is more important for Muslims today, to no longer busy discussing the greatness that Muslims achieved in the past, or debating who first discovered the number zero, including the number one, two, three and so on, as the contribution of Muslims in the writing of numbers in this modern era and the foundation and development of civilizations throughout the world. But how Muslims will regained the lead and control of science and technology, leading back and become a leader in the world of science and civilization, because it represents a real achievement.

Basic trigonometric properties put forth by Muslim mathematicians serve as basis for how GPS systems work today

Before continuing further, it is important to gain an understanding of how democracy is perceived by the ordinary people of the Middle East. Democracy, as a secular entity, is unlikely t be favorably received by the vast majority of Middle Easterners who are devout followers of the Islamic faith. Traditionally, there is tension among the Muslim countries with respect to the establishment of a democratic form of government. On the one hand, there are those who believe that democratic rule can co-exist with the religious nature of the Middle Easter societies; however, on the other hand there are those who believe that the tribal structure of the Middle Eastern countries may not be suitable for democratic rule as too many factions will emerge. The result will be a "fractured" society that cannot effectively unite and there is also the risk that this could impact the cohesion produced by the Muslim faith. Although concerns exist, for the most part, the spirit of democracy, or self rule, is viewed as a positive endeavor so long as it builds up the country and sustains the religious base versus devaluing religion and creating instability. Creating this balance will be the challenge as most Western democracies have attempted to maintain a separation of church and state. What this suggests is that as democracy grows in the Middle East, it is not necessarily going to evolve upon a Western template—it will have its own shape or form coupled with stronger religious ties.

Because Muhammad is considered Allah's final prophet and the Quran the eternal, unalterable words of Allah himself, there is also no evolving morality that permits the modification or integration of Islamic morality with that from other sources. The entire Islamic moral universe devolves solely from the life and teachings of Muhammad.

Begitulah rumus kehidupan. Dalam perkara shalat ini, terlepas dari apakah seseorang itu pendusta, pembunuh, penjahat, dia tetap harus shalat, kewajiban itu tidak luntur. Maka semoga entah di shalat yang ke-berapa, dia akhirnya benar-benar berubah. Shalat itu berhasil mengubahnya. Mamakmu pasti pernah bilang itu kepadamu.

Before you trust your camel to Allah's protection, tie it fast on to your fence.

...ben batıdan doğuya seyahat etmedim, ben bilinçsizlikten gelip varlığımın hakikatine vardım. Din değiştirmedim; saptırılmış, anlamsız bir hayattan ebedi bir zenginliğe geldim. Şimdi de karşılaştığım, içine düştüğüm bu ebedî hazinelerin ışığını yayma ihtiyacı hissediyorum.

Belief in God, without belief in the Prophet (SAWW), would still be unbelief.

Belki de Rabbim, kalplerimiz taşlaşmasın diye taşı kalpleştirdi.. Kainatın kalbi olan Kabe ile bizi buluşturdu..

Berdasarkan ketetapan prinsip akidah Ahli Sunnah wa al-Jamaah ini, maka perkataan 'Allah' bukan daripada perkataan atau bahasa manusia. Sebaliknya, ia adalah sebuah nama yang diketahui oleh manusia melalui wahyu yang datang kepada para rasul daripada Allah swt. Ini bererti, manusia hanya mengetahui bahawa lafaz Allah merupakan nama bagi zat Allah tetapi tidak mampu dikenali hakikat-Nya sebenar. Dalam erti kata lain, Allah swt sendiri yang memperkenalkan diri-Nya dengan lafaz Allah kerana hanya Dia sahaja yang Maha Mengetahui nama-Nya.

Being in relationship with Jesus, "God, The One and Only", is the single cure for hatred ...the only guarantee of salam or shalom!

Berjalanlah dan terus berjalanlah dengan niat kebaikan untuk mengejar restu dari Allah, bersama orang-orang yang kaucintai, lalu sematkan dalam hati dan pikiranmu akan perjalanan hidupmu tentang surga yang akan kaugapai. Maka seberat, sepanjang, dan sebesar apa pun halangan yang melintangi langkahmu, akan terbuka dengan sendirinya atas Izin-Nya. Ingatlah, Tuhan akan mengirim malaikat-malaikat-Nya yang mempunyai keringanan tangan tak bertepi untuk menyelamatkanmu manakala kau hendak terpeleset di ujung jurang yang curam. (123)

Bersabar bersama Khidr tidak cukup dengan mengikuti kurikulum beserta buku-buku yang menyertainya. Bersabar bersama Khidr membutuhkan satu alat lagi bernama spiritualitas. Spiritualitas dalam hal ini bukan tasawwuf tetapi al-Ihsan: merasa melihat Tuhan di mana pun dan kapan pun, atau merasa dilihat Tuhan di mana pun dan kapan pun. Al-Ihsan, inilah sesungguhnya tonggak keIslaman.

[...] be unaffected by naysayers. Let not your desire or determination be wavered by the censure of cynics, the criticism of pessimists, the undermining of those that belittle, the jeering of the mockers, or the doubts of the skeptics.

Biblical, Talmudic, or Koranic literalists remind me of children wrinkling their noses at Belon oysters and asking for more Chef Boy-E-Dee. They want the world to be as simple as they are.

Bizler dünyada kaybettiğimiz anda Allah'ı kazanırız. Dünyanın kapılarının kapandığı yerde cennet kapıları açılır. Bütün peygamberler bu hikmeti kendi hayatlarıyla bize göstermişlerdir; kayıp kazancımız, hiçlik sermayemiz, fakr onurumuzdur. Yaşamak zorunda kaldıkları zorlukların zirveye ulaştığı anda Allah'u Teala nebilerini en büyük ilahi ihsanlarıyla mükafatlandırmıştır. Onların sabrı, tahammülü derecesinde yardımını, himayesini yollamıştır. Hz. Yusuf (as) kuyunun karanlığından kurtulmuş ve Mısır'ın azizi olmuştur. Hz. İbrahim (as) ateşten kurtarılmıştır., o ateş ona bir gül bahçesine dönmüş ve kendisi Allah'ın dostu, halili olma makamı ile şereflendirilmiştir. Hz. Yunus (as) balığın karnından kurtarılmıştır, Hz. İsmail (as) bıçakla kurban edilmekten kurtarılmıştır, Hz. Nuh (as) tufandan selamet bulmuş ve gemisiyle karaya oturmuştur.

Boys will always be boys,’ he said. ‘The relationship obviously wasn’t meant to be.’ He told me I should trust that the break-up was for the best, even if I couldn’t see that yet. As with every form of suffering, heartache brings with it catharsis, and turns us into better human beings. ‘It is like an iron in the furnace that is beaten into shape,’ he said. These bad experiences were ultimately a good sign because God tests the ones He loves. That might be why He has so few friends,’ he added dryly. His words cheered me up a bit.

Boş arayışlar insan ruhunu yıpratır. İnsanları memnun etmek ve onların sevgi, takdir ve onaylarını almak için uğraşan kişi kendini yorar.

Boş vaktimizi beleş zamanlar olarak görüyor, şimdilik bir ödemede bulunmuyoruz, ama bir gün onun için Allah'ın huzurunda ödemede bulunacağız. Bir bedeli var. Bir gün onun için ödemede bulunacağımızın farkında değiliz. He şey kayda geçiriliyor.

Bring no harm to the trees, nor burn them with fire, especially those which are fruitful" - Abu Bak's warfare rules, to his army

Budaya ilmu juga bermakna ilmu dituntut dengan berbagai-bagai cara seperti pembacaan dan pendengaran atau pengalaman. Walaupun Islam menekankan kebolehan menulis dan membaca, tetapi dalam masyarakat Islam dahulu buta huruf tidak bermakna buta ilmu.

But blaming Islam is a simple answer, easier and less controversial than re-examining the core political issues and grievances that resonate in much of the Muslim world: the failures of many Muslim governments and societies, some aspects of U.S. foreign policy representing intervention and dominance, Western support for authoritarian regimes, the invasion and occupation of Iraq, or support for Israel's military battles with Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon. (p. 136-137)

Business is love made visible, membangun bisnis adalah perwujudan cinta yang sebenarnya; cinta kepada sesama manusia; cinta terhadap alam semesta dan penciptanya. Business profit doesn’t result from what we get, but from what we give. Keuntungan bisnis bukan berasal dari apa yang kita peroleh, tapi dari apa yang telah kita berikan. Ini tak hanya berlaku dalam dunia bisnis, tapi juga merefleksikan sisi terbaik manusia. Ya, seni terindah dari sisi kemanusiaan adalah kedermawaan hati, yang tak menuntut ditilik manusia lain. (244)

Can I aske forgiveness for someone else, someone whose already dead? Yes, you can. Of course you can. And you can give charity in their name and you can recite the Qur'an for their sake. All these things will reach them, your prayers will ease the hardship and loneliness of their grave or it will reach them in bright, beautiful gifts. Gifts to unwrap and enjoy and they will know that this gift is from you.

But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires: To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To know the pain of too much tenderness. TO be wounded by your own understanding of love; And to bleed willingly and joyfully. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving. TO rest at the noon hour and meditate on love's ecstacy; To return home at eventide with gratitude; And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.
