Fitna - part II

Assalamualaikum warahmatullah wabarakatuh,

Found some really interesting responses toward the documentary Fitna. Below is a short slide show on many verses quoted in the Bible (both Old & New Testaments) which can be understood as promoting violence.



Geert Wilders is a Catholic and he can only quote 5 verses (not even full verse because he intentionally quoted half the verse so that it is out of the correct context) from the Qur'an while there are so many verses in the Bible that have crueler meanings like in killing women, infants, sucking babies, etc. I have no intention to condemn any religion because what is written in these holy books are words (hopefully all of these quoted in the Bible here) from ALLAH. Humans have limited ability to interpret and understand these verses thoroughly. Bible and Qur'an are not written in English or Danish. If you read the Bible or Qur'an in the language that is not as they have been revealed, no doubt that you will make mistakes in interpreting them or you will not fully understand the meaning because you don't have the access to the original texts. So, is the Bible promoting violence? Is yes, Geert Wilders should tear off half of the Bible as he has asked the muslim to do so. But, I am not going to ask anyone to do this, not even tearing off any useful and academic books, let alone holy books. Instead of preaching hatred and asking religious people to tear off their holy books, why not find a good teacher and study them properly?

The below video explains the real contexts of the verses quoted in Fitna. ALLAH will never command any human to kill other humans without rational reasons because HE created all of us, there is no right for us to take away anyone's soul except by ALLAH's will. Watch this video carefully and learn:



What Geert Wilders did is to quote these 5 verses out of the real context by taking just one verse and ignoring the verses before and after; and also taking just a part of the verses and ignoring the other part of the same verse which will give full meaning for that verse. Sometime this is also the trap that many muslims fall into when trying to interpret the Qur'an without learning from learned Islamic scholars who at least has memorised the whole Qur'an, thousands of hadith, studied the science of the Qur'an and have ijazah in learning the interpretation of the whole Qur'an.

Dear muslim brothers and sisters, let's pray for what Geert Wilders did will eventually give benefits for the muslims to make dawa, explain these verses well to the muslims and non-muslims, promote better understanding by picking up the non-muslims' curiosity about Islam thus learn Islam and finally come to Islam. Amin.

Let's not abandon them because we are not here to punish them but to help them for a better life in this World and the Hereafter.

ALLAHU'alam.

Wassalam.

p/s: Islam is beautiful, so beautify it at least from our intention, saying and action. Indeed it is through the best example of the Prophet Muhammad (saw) that many came to Islam.
