Is it Haram/Not Allowed to read, understand follow Islam by the Holy Qur'an in a language other than Arabic?
This is the debate that I have been involved in numerous times over the years. I have asked many Imams about this issue and the response is normally the same. The last response I had was that "you get 10 times the reward" for reading it in Arabic without any supporting evidence from Qur'an or authentic hadith. Some people will not even accept any religious debate about Islam when it is done in English, yet the same people will lear...

Fighting Terrorism is what the Prophet Muhammad did and is the Duty of All Muslims
Terrorism was rampant when the first official Muslims appeared when the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)began his prophethood and received divine relevation. Even though our Prophet is gone, we still have the most important gift from him, the Holy Qur'an which remains intact and universal to all Muslims since it was revealed. John Esposito sees Muhammad as a reformer who condemned practices of the pagan Arabs such as female infanticide, exploitat...

Qur'an Compels Muslim to Speak the truth even against family
This is a very significant quote that compels Muslims to do justice and tell the truth even against a loved one. 4:135 (Y. Ali) O ye who believe! stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even as against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be (against) rich or poor: for Allah can best protect both. Follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest ye swerve, and if ye distort (justice) or decline to do justice, verily Allah is well- acquainted with...

More comments to Uighur's on Xinjiang riots, Rebiya Kadeer and separatism
akmeme, I mean no offense but I think this is only about separatism and these are lies. No Uighur's have presented any logical arguments to me. Also why do Uighur's support the violence in Xinjiang? Uighur's here tried to convince me I cannot pray at the Mosque in China, when you didn't know I am a Muslim. If Rebiya Kadeer is the leader of Uighur protests she is a terrorist. I have shown through Xin Hua and the comments of the victims family in...

Response to anti-Islamic attack which calls for persecution of Islam and Muslims
Dannyboy56 said: The problem about Jihad is that it is a serious and is exists. It won’t go away by itself. Even if a small percentage of the Muslims are turning radical, that small percentage is too much of a threat if that radicalization translates into violence. ==================== Before I start I want people to know I'm responding to the context of how Muslims are treated in the West, not in China. Because in China I never had any problem as a Muslim....

Muslims Should Not Follow Blindly
Qur'an 17:36. And pursue not that of which thou hast no knowledge; for every act of hearing, or of seeing or of (feeling in) the heart will be enquired into (on the Day of Reckoning).That is one of many verses which I believe compel Muslims to think before they act, especially when it comes to blindly following what they have heard from others, whether it be an Imam or close loved one, the Qur'an tells us that we are going to be held accountable for ...
