Antisemitism and Islamophobia are very similar (if not the same), actually

So I was scrolling down the #palestine tag for any updates and important information, and I came across this:

And I think we need to sit down and talk about this.

I am a Muslim. I live in Indonesia, a country that is predominantly Muslim and a lot of Muslims here also support the Palestinian cause. Hell, even our government supports it by not only allowing Palestinian goods enter the country without fee, but also by taking in Palestinian refugees and even acknowledging the status of Palestine as a state while not having any political ties with Israel. The topic of the Palestinian tragedy has been spoon-fed to us at schools, sermons, media, etc., so your average Indonesian Muslim would at the very least be aware of the conflict while non-Muslims would hear about it from their Muslim friends or through media.

However, there is a glaring problem. One that I keep seeing way too often for my liking.

A lot of them are antisemitic as hell. The sermons I would hear sometimes demonize Jewish people. Antisemitic statements are openly said out loud on social media. Some are even Nazi supporters who would literally go to anime cons and COSPLAY as members of the Nazi party. This is not just an Indonesian Muslim problem, no, but this is a glaring issue within the global Islamic community as a whole. Today, this sense of antisemitism is usually rooted in general hatred towards the Israeli government and its actions against the people of Palestine, but antisemitism amongst Muslims are also rooted in certain interpretations of verses from the Qur'an and Hadith mentioning Jewish people and Judaism (particularly the Bani Israil), but in a way that is more ridiculing instead of life-threatening when compared to how antisemitism looks like in the Western world.

As someone who prefers to become a "bridge" between two sides in most cases, I find this situation to be concerning, to say the least. While, yes, it is important for us Muslims to support Palestine and fight against injustice, we must not forget that not every Jewish people support the Israeli government. A lot of them are even anti-Zionists who actively condemn Israel and even disagree with the existence of Israel as a state as it goes against their teachings. A lot of them are also Holocaust survivors or their descendants, so it is harmful to think for one second that Hitler's actions and policies were justified. It's just like saying that Netanyahu is right for his decision to destroy Palestine and commit war crime after war crime towards the Palestinians.

As Muslims, we also need to remember that Jewish people (the Yahudi) are considered ahli kitab, i.e. People Of The Book along with Christians (the Nasrani). The Islam I have come to know and love has no mentions of Allah allowing us to persecute them or anyone collectively for the actions of a few. While, yes, there are disagreements with our respective teachings I do not see that as an excuse to even use antisemitic slurs against Jewish people during a pro-Palestine rally, let alone support a man who was known for his acts of cruelty toward the Jewish community in WW2. They are still our siblings/cousins in faith, after all. Unless they have done active harm like stealing homes from civilians or celebrating the destruction of Palestine or supporting the Israeli government and the IOF or are members of the IOF, no Jewish people (and Christians, for that matter) must be harmed in our fight against Zionism.

Contemporary antisemitism is similar to (if not straight up being the exact same thing as) contemporary Islamophobia, if you think about it; due to the actions of a select few that has caused severe harm towards innocent people, an entire community has been a target of hate. Even when you have tried to call out the ones supporting such cruelties, you are still getting bombarded by hate speech. It's doubly worse if you're also simultaneously part of a marginalized group like BIPOC, LGBTQ+, etc. as you also get attacked on multiple sides. This is where we all need to self-reflect, practice empathy, and unlearn all of the antisemitism and unjustified hatred that we were exposed to.

So, do call out Zionism and Nazism when you see it. Call out the US government for funding this atrocity and others before it that had ALSO triggered the rise of Islamophobia. Call your reps. Go to the streets. Punch a fascist if you feel so inclined. Support your local businesses instead of pro-Israel companies.

But not at the cost of our Jewish siblings. Not at the cost of innocent Jewish people who may also be your allies. If you do that, you are no different from a MAGA cap-wearing, gun-tooting, slur-yelling Islamophobe.

That is all for now, may your watermelons taste fresh and sweet.

[apollos-olives]

as a Muslim raised in a religious family, the music discourse is. so dumb. like genuinely so so dumb.

the 'proof' of music being haram comes from a Hadith in which the Prophet (PBUH) says a certain group of people are cursed—and these people play instruments, which is why you get the moral panic we see today. however, these people are also polytheists, which like. is probably more relevant to the whole curse when we consider that islam is the "God is one" religion.

on top of this, numerous hadith exist where the Prophet uses music as a compliment! he famously told Bilal RA that Allah had blessed him with one of Dawood's mizmar's—why the compliment, if music was haram? the Prophet would also welcome travellers from other nations by organising cultural performances and dances that they would recognise—why, if music was haram?

finally, it would just... be made more clear if it was. What is forbidden has been made clear, and what is permissible has been made clear and all that. if music was the same level of haram as, say, alcohol, scholars would have left this debate behind centuries ago.

sorry if this ask was long and unnecessary, it's just that as quite a religious person this drives me up the wall! same with all the 'drawing/sculpting/enjoying art' is haram people

YESSS BRO YOU GET IT!! the fact that so many muslims push the belief that music is haram is genuinely baffling ??? like. allah does everything for a reason. there is no valid or sensible reason as to why music is haram. and if it was explicitly haram, then allah would've made it clear, not have scholars debate for forever about it. some scholars misintepret hadith so much and muslims eat it up so fast, it's hard to see how they even enjoy life like that. it's just sad to see how people are forcing their opinions on others when they're literally wrong. but honestly thank you for this, i didn't even know some of this stuff so tysm again for telling me, this is very informative!!

What's the difference between a Shia & Sunni? And why do they hate each others? (I'm an atheist so I don't know shit about religions)

Keep in mind that this is no way trying to shame or denounce my Sunni siblings, but I do believe it's important to highlight a historical fact and how it's detrimental to the current geopolitical situation, since we're embittered by historical events, while at the face of imperalism and colonialism.

Shi'as are a political group of people who iunitially held that Ali (a), the cousin of Muhammed (pbuh&hf) was the successor of the Prophet. This is evident in numerous hadiths, such as Hadith Ghadeer Khumm, the Hadith of Mubahila and the Hadith at Thaqalayn. Nevertheless, the issue steems from the incident at Saqifa, which was a council met by some companions by the Prophet, who held an abrupt meeting, discussing who'd lead the Muslim nation following the Prophet's death. The meeting was held without consulting Ali (a) and they chose Abu Bakr to become the caliph. As a result, Ali (a) did nor approve of the selection and did not pledge his allegience to Abu Bakr. the incident at Saqifa serves as a catalyst to the incidents that would befall the Muslim community, such as Fatimah's (a) miscarriage and the subsequent wars against Ali (a) by some of the Prophet's companions, Ali (a) and his sons Hassan (a) and Hussain's (a) martyrdom.

This caused the rift in the nascent Islamic community, the Shi'as were any Muslim who held that Ali (a) was the successor by divine right, and swore their allegience to Ali (a), while the rest of the Muslims were nonpartisans. Sunni Islam is the standardization of Islamic scholastic and jurisdictional opinions which were formed in the Abbasid caliph. So it's errounous to assume that there was a split between Sunnis and Shi'as, when Sunni Islam was formed a few centuries later.

The reason for the hate is because of fundamentalist attitudes toward Shi'as. Some Sunnis and Salafis believe that Shi'a Muslims are heretics, because of their veneration of saints and the importance of Shrine visitations, the other reason is because Shi'a Muslims practice the doctrine of dissociation, which is the belief that any of the enemies of the Prophet's household should be cursed, thus some of the personalites of the Sunnis are cursed by Shi'as. Ancient scholars, suchs as Ibn Taymiyyah and Ibn Qayyim placed some fatwas declaring Shi'a Muslims to be heretics. These scholars' opinions are still popular today and used as pretext for prejudice against Shi'as.

In a geopolitical context, Iran is often considered to be rivaling power to Saudi Arabia's Wahhabism, and have often threatened the Saudi hegemony. Because of the Axis of resistance and their growing influence in the SWANA region, the Gulf States have attempted at all cost to undermine the growing sympathy for Shi'as. Bahrain is upholding an apartheid against it's Shi'i majority, The Saudi refuses to ackowledge the Shi'i Houthis in Yemen, but supported the Hadi government, thus imposing a devastating blockade. The Iraqi war saw the Shi'as gain power, while the Sunnis were often a disenfranchised group following the Blackwater massacre, which contributed the rise of various militias and terrorist groups, such as ISIS. While in the Syrian Civil War, Shi'as mostly made up the bulk of resistance fighters that sided with Assad against the Free Syrian army and Salafi Islamist groups, such as, Tahrir al-Sham, Jaysh al-Sunnah, Islamic front, Ahrar al-Sham and etc. These have contributed to the increase of tension between Sunnis and Shi'as. However, the fight against Israel have united Muslims, but the biggest obstacle the Muslim community must get through are the Salafist and Wahhabi clerics, espousing tayyafiyah (sectarianism)

Suddenly this religion has become an aesthetic for a lot of people. The religious quotes with a nice sunset backdrop which reminds you of your haram relationship and thinking that it's blessed or the trauma that relationship caused you or you know, you follow what looks good and drop what's not on trend and you pick and choose Ayat and Hadith according to your mood and your emotions. You wear that abaya with your matching trainers and so does your bestie so you can upload it on the gram caked full of makeup. You wear thobes with Jordan’s and a skin fade so you can get a good deen to road ratio and sell yourself just so a couple of ukhtis can blush at you. And you lip sync and dance on TikTok and you call yourself a man? This ain’t about is this haram to do so, don't cry to me trying to justify yourself. But why is it you ridicule the true believers who strive to follow the Sunnah of the Prophet ‎ﷺ ? The men who grew out their beards, lowered their gaze and the sisters who wore niqab and had to walk the streets in a hostile society. The Prophet ‎ﷺ said glad tidings to the strangers. And Ibn Mas’ud RA says there will come a time wherein the believer would be the most humiliated of the Ummah. And we see that more than ever today where Muslims themselves are so insecure they end up mocking other Muslims who are trying hard.

 عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ أَلَمْ تَرَ آيَاتٍ أُنْزِلَتِ اللَّيْلَةَ لَمْ يُرَ مِثْلُهُنَّ قَطُّ ‏{‏ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَب��ّ الْفَلَقِ‏}‏ وَ ‏{‏ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ‏}‏ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ صحيح مسلم حديث ٨١٤

'Uqba b. 'Amir reported Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) as saying: "What wonderful verses have been sent down today. the like of which has never been seen! They are:" Say: I seek refuge with the Lord of the dawn," and" Say: I seek refuge with the Lord of men." Sahih Muslim 814a quraIn-book reference : Book 6, Hadith 319

قال ابن عبدالبر في قول الله عز و جل: ﴿ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ * مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ ﴾ [الفلق: 1، 2]، كفاية لمن وفق[4].

قال ابن القيم: تضمَّنت هاتان السورتان الاستعاذة من الشرور كلها بأوجز لفظ وأجمعه وأدله على المراد، وأعمه استعاذةً، بحيث لم يبق شرٌّ من الشرور إلا دخل تحت الشر المستعاذ منه فيهما[5].

قال الثعلبي: قال الحسين بن الفضل: إنَّ الله جمع الشرور في هذه الآية: ﴿ وَمِنْ شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ ﴾ [الفلق: 5]، وختَمها بالحسد؛ ليُعلم أنه أخسُّ الطبائع[6].

قال القرطبي: وأمر نبيُّه صلى الله عليه وسلم أن يتعوَّذ من جميع الشرور، فقال: ﴿ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ ﴾، وجعل خاتمة ذلك الحسد تنبيهًا على عِظَمه، وكثرة ضرره[7].

قال النسفي: والاستعاذة من شر هذه الأشياء بعد الاستعاذة من شرِّ ما خلق، إشعارٌ بأن شرَّ هؤلاء أشدُّ، وختم بالحسد ليعلم أنه شرُّها، وهو أول ذنبٍ عُصِي الله به في السماء من إبليس، وفي الأرض مِن قابيل[8].

قال الشوكاني: ذكر الله سبحانه في سورة الفلق إرشاد رسوله صلى الله عليه وسلم إلى الاستعاذة من شرِّ كل مخلوقاته على العموم، ثم ذكر بعض الشرور على الخصوص مع اندراجه تحت العموم لزيادة شره، ومزيد ضرِّه، وهو الغاسق، والنفاثات، والحاسد، فكأن هؤلاء لما فيهم من مزيد الشر، حقيقون بإفراد كل واحد منهم بالذكر[9]. فوائد منتقاة من سورتي الفلق والناس

ما أَعظَم الدِّينَ الإسلاميَّ! وما أَعظَمَ ما فيه من البُشرياتِ الكثيرةِ الَّتي أعطاها اللهُ عزَّ وجلَّ لنبيِّه محمَّدٍ صلَّى اللهُ عليهِ وسلَّم وأمَّتِه؛ فإنَّه سُبحانه أَنزَل عليه الذ��ّكرَ مِن القُرآنِ، وجَعَل ثَوابَ قِراءتِه عَظيمًا، فجعَلَ بكلِّ حَرفٍ حَسنةً، والحَسناتُ تُضاعَفُ، وخَصَّ سُبحانه بعضَ السُّورِ والآياتِ بفَضلٍ زائدٍ لِمَن قرَأَها؛ حَضًّا على قِراءتها، وتَرغيبًا فيها. وفي هذا الحديثِ يُخبِرُ عُقبةُ بنُ عامرٍ رَضِي اللهُ عنه أنَّ النَّبيَّ صلَّى اللهُ عليهِ وسلَّم قال له: «ألَمْ تَرَ آياتٍ أُنزِلتِ اللَّيلةَ لَم يُرَ مِثْلُهنَّ قَطُّ؟!» وهو اسْتفهامٌ تَعجُّبيٍّ، يَتعجَّبُ النَّبيُّ صلَّى اللهُ عليهِ وسلَّم مِن عِظَمِ فَضْلِ هذه الآياتِ الَّتي لم يَنزِلْ عليه سُوَرٌ بمِثْلِ ما فيها مِن المعاني والبَركاتِ، ثمَّ أَوضَح هذه الآياتِ وأنَّها سُورَتَا: «{قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ}، و{قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ}»، وهما المُعوِّذتانِ؛ ففيهما ذِكْرُ التَّعوُّذُ والالتِجاءِ وطَلَبِ الحمايةِ مِن اللهِ ربِّ الخَلْقِ وربِّ النَّاسِ، وقد اسْتعاذَ بهما النَّبيُّ صلَّى اللهُ عليهِ وسلَّم ورَقَى نَفْسَه. وسُورةُ الفلَقِ هي قولُ اللهِ تعالى: {قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ * مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ * وَمِنْ شَرِّ غَاسِقٍ إِذَا وَقَبَ * وَمِنْ شَرِّ النَّفَّاثَاتِ فِي الْعُقَدِ * وَمِنْ شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ}، والمعنى: قلْ -أيُّها الرَّسولُ-: أعتصِمُ برَبِّ الصُّبحِ، وتَبدَأُ السُّورةُ بوصْفِ المُستعاذِ به برَبِّ الفلَقِ؛ لأنَّ هذا الوقتَ وقْتُ فَيَضانِ الأنوارِ، ونُزولِ الخيْراتِ والبرَكاتِ، فأسْتَجِيرُ بهذا الرَّبِّ الَّذي هذا وصْفُه مِن شَرِّ ما يُؤذي مِن المخلوقاتِ، وخَصَّ المُستعاذَ منه بما خَلَق، فابتَدَأ بالعامِّ مِن قولِه: {مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ}، أي: مِن شرِّ خلْقِه، وشرِّ ما يَفعَلُه المُكلَّفون مِن المَعاصي، ومُضارَّةِ بعضِهم بعضًا، وما يَفعَلُه غيرُ المُكلَّفين مِن الحيوانِ، كالسِّباعِ والحشَراتِ؛ مِن الأكلِ، والنَّهشِ، واللَّدْغِ، والعَضِّ، وما وَضَعه اللهُ تعالَى في غيرِ الحيوانِ مِن أنواعِ الضَّررِ، كالإحراقِ في النَّارِ، والقتْلِ في السُّمِّ. ثمَّ ثَنَّى بالعطفِ عليه ما هو شَرُّه أخْفى مِن الزَّمانِ، ما هو نَقيضُ انفلاقِ الصُّبحِ مِن دُخولِ الظَّلامِ، بقولِه: {وَمِنْ شَرِّ غَاسِقٍ إِذَا وَقَبَ}؛ لأنَّ انبثاثَ الشَّرِّ فيه أكثرُ، والتَّحرُّزُ منه أصعَبُ. وخَصَّ ما يُمكِنُ في الزَّمانِ بما غائلتُه خَفيَّةٌ مِن النَّفاثاتِ والحاسدِ، وقيَّد الحاسدَ بـ{إِذَا حَسَدَ}؛ لأنَّ الحاسدَ إذا أظهَرَ حسَدَه، كان شرُّه أتَمَّ، وضرُّه أكمَلَ. وقدْ جمَعَ اللهُ الشُّرورَ في هذه السُّورةِ وخَتَمها بالحسَدِ؛ ليُعلَمَ أنَّه أخسُّ الطَّبائعِ. وسُورةُ النَّاسِ هي قولُ اللهِ تعالى: {قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ * مَلِكِ النَّاسِ * إِلَهِ النَّاسِ * مِنْ شَرِّ الْوَسْوَاسِ الْخَنَّاسِ * الَّذِي يُوَسْوِسُ فِي صُدُورِ النَّاسِ * مِنَ الْجِنَّةِ وَالنَّاسِ} [الناس: 1 - 6]، والمعنى: قُل أيُّها الرَّسولُ: أعتصِمُ برَبِّ النَّاسِ، وأستجيرُ به، مَلِكِ النَّاسِ، يَتصرَّفُ فيهم بما يَشاءُ، لا مَلِكَ لهم غيرُه، لا مَعبودَ لهم بحقٍّ غيرُه، فأسْتَعيذُ به مِن شَرِّ الشَّيطانِ الَّذي يُلْقي وَسوستَه إلى الإنسانِ إذا غفَلَ عن ذِكرِ اللهِ، ويَتأخَّرُ عنه إذا ذَكَره، ويُلْقي بوَسوستِه إلى قُلوبِ النَّاسِ، وهذا المُوسوِسُ يكونُ مِن الإنسِ كما يكونُ مِن الجنِّ. وفي الحديثِ: بَيانُ عَظيمِ شَأنِ المُعوِّذتينِ. وفيه: بَيانُ أنَّه لا يُوجَدُ في القرآنِ مِثلُ المُعوِّذتين، مِن حيثُ المعاني، والبركةُ، والتَّعوُذُ بهما.  الدرر السنية

[s4dstr4wberry]

As a practicing muslim i'm guna have to disagree with you! Islam is actually a very beautiful peaceful religion. Arabian culture has made it such a horrible thing, forcing girls 2 dress how they dont want, do what they dont want and preaching it to be religion. It's hard to break out of cultural habits i personally see this in my daily life. Im not saying ur wrong or that u should be muslim or anythin jus sayin that the culture is not the religion and these 2 things should be distinguished between each other. <3

Islam is shit. Your prophet married a 6 year old and banged her at 9. The quraan gave men dominance over their women and allowed men to beat women. The prophet had a whole harem of women and allowed his followers to have 4 wives, he also told them they could rape the slave women they obtained in wars.

Mohammad spread islam with the sword. Those who surrendered had to join islam, if they were Christians or Jews they could keep practicing their religion by paying a tax and were treated like lower grade humans. If he was met with refusal, Mohammad would eradicate entire tribes and leave only the women and girls alive so they could be taken as sex slaves. Free women were told to wear hijab and cover their chests whereas slave women were forbidden from covering their chests and got beaten if they wore hijabs.

Slavery continued to thrive under islam. Some argue that islam encouraged the freeing of slaves in order to eradicate it over time. That’s not true, if a slave woman give birth to a child, that child would be the PROPERTY of her owner, so new slaves were constantly being born.

Argue as much as you want that “this is not the real islam” but it is. Muslims represent their book. They use it to justify their beliefs and actions. I live among muslims. Most are kind-hearted well-meaning people like you’d expect, but at the same time they’re antisemitic, homophobic, misogynistic and they see nothing wrong with it.

In a lot of muslim majority countries today, adulterers are stoned, apostates and blasphemers are killed, thieves’ hands are chopped off, homosexuals are thrown off of rooftops, and women are beaten and killed by their husbands, fathers, brothers for the stupidest shit.

Beautiful peaceful religion my ass. Also if you want proof of what I said lmk and I can give you quraan verses and verified hadiths. The peace and love is a facade to let islam fester in western countries and protect muslims as a “poor oppressed minority”.

Progressive muslims and ex muslims are the ones who are being oppressed because they want to reform and change islam for the better but islam does not accept change.

FAREWELL SERMON

(Prophet of Islam Muhammad (pbuh))

The first text that can be counted as a declaration of human rights in the history of the world is the Farewell Sermon.

So, what is the hadith that an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab?

What are the ingredients of the Farewell Sermon?

Our Prophet In his Farewell Sermon, Muhammad called out to all humanity:

You will definitely not do these four things.

Your Lord is one.

Your father is one too.

You are all Adam's children, and Adam is from the earth.

Just as an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab, and a non-Arab over an Arab;

Red skinned people have no superiority over black, and black has no superiority over red skinned people.

ARAB HAS NO SUPERIORITY TO NON-ARAB

The first text that can be counted as a declaration of human rights in the history of the world is the Farewell Sermon.

As it is known, shortly before his death, the Prophet gave a historical speech to 124 thousand people in Mecca in 632 AD.

The first human rights declaration proclaimed in the West is the Magna Carta dated 1215.

583 years after the Farewell Sermon.

The UN Declaration of Human Rights is dated 1948.

Our Prophet During the Farewell pilgrimage, the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) addressed all humanity in the person of 124 thousand Muslims in the middle of the Arafat Valley on his camel named Kaswa after his death on Friday, 9 Dhu al-Hijjah

(9 Dhu al-Hijjah 10 H./8 March 632 M. Friday).

He addressed Muslims and all humanity as follows:

Do not return to perversions

"O people!

Listen carefully! I don't know, maybe I won't be able to meet you here again after this year.

People!

Just as today is a holy day, just as these months are holy months, just as this city (Mecca) is a blessed city, so are your lives, property and honor, they are protected from all kinds of rape.

My Companions! You will surely meet your Lord.

He will also question you for what you did.

Do not return to the old perversions after me and do not hit each other's necks!

My Companions!

Whoever has a trust with him should immediately give it to its owner.

Be aware that all forms of interest have been abolished. God has ordained so.

The first interest I removed is the interest of Abdulmutallib's son (my uncle) Abbas.

But your principal is yours.

You have neither persecuted nor suffered persecution.

My Companions!

Pay attention, all the customs from ignorance have been removed, they are under my feet.

The blood feuds waged during the Age of Ignorance were also completely abolished.

The first blood feud I abolished is that of Abdulmuttalib's grandson, Iyas bin Rabia.

O people!

Surely the devil has given up hope of worshiping him in your land.

But if you follow him in your small works, it will also please him.

O people!

I advise you to observe the rights of women and to fear Allah in this regard.

You have taken women as a trust from Allah and you have made their honor lawful for yourselves by Allah's command.

You have rights over women and women have rights over you.

Your right over women; they do not let anyone trample your bed, and they do not let people you do not like into your homes without your permission.

If they let a person into your house whom you did not allow to come, Allah has allowed you to leave them alone in their beds and at least lightly beat them and warn them.

The rights of women over you are that you provide food and clothing according to legitimate customs.

I leave you two relics

I leave you two relics, you will not go astray as long as you hug them and follow them.

Those relics are the book of Allah, the Qur'an, and the Sunnah of the Prophet.

Believers!

Do you listen to me and good memory!

A Muslim is a brother of a Muslim, and thus all Muslims are brothers.

Neither his brother's blood nor his property is halal for a Muslim.

But if he gave the property to the heart pleasantness it is another.

Your Lord is one.

Your father is one too.

You are all Adam's children, and Adam is from the earth.

Just as an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab, and a non-Arab over an Arab;

Red skinned people have no superiority over black, and black has no superiority over red skinned people.

Superiority is only in taqwa, fearing Allah.

Be careful!

You will definitely not do these four things:

You shall not associate anything with Allah.

- You shall not unjustly kill a soul that Allah has made unlawful and inviolable.

- You shall not commit adultery.

- You will not steal.

The Unifying Power of Islam: Binding Diverse People Together

In a world fragmented by differences, Islam stands out as a unifying force that transcends cultural, racial, and geographical boundaries. Its ability to bring together individuals from diverse backgrounds into an international community is a testament to its enduring beauty and relevance in today’s society. 

One of the most fascinating ways in which Muslims feel a connection between fellow muslims worldwide is by the means of a common and endearing greeting: “Assalamu Alaykum” (peace be upon you, commonly shortened to “Salam” or peace)

Islam emphasises the fundamental unity of humanity, teaching that all people are descendants of Adam and Eve, and thus, all races and communities are equal in the eyes of the Divine. The Quran states: 

“O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted” (Quran 49:13). 

This verse underscores the importance of recognising our shared humanity and fostering mutual understanding among diverse communities.

The Brotherhood of Believers

Central to Islam is the concept of brotherhood/sisterhood among believers. 

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “The believers in their mutual kindness, compassion, and sympathy are just like one body. When one of the limbs suffers, the whole body responds to it with wakefulness and fever” (Sahih Bukhari). 

This Hadith highlights the interconnectedness of believers and emphasizes the importance of empathy and support within the Muslim community.

Unity in Worship

Five times a day, Muslims around the world turn towards the Kaaba in Mecca, united in prayer, united in direction and united in purpose of worship. This act of collective worship, known as Salah, serves as a powerful symbol of unity and solidarity among Muslims regardless of their geographical location or cultural background. It reinforces the notion that despite our differences, we are bound together by a common faith and devotion to God.

“We have been seeing you turning your face to the heavens. So, We will certainly assign to you a Qiblah that you would like. Now, turn your face in the direction of the Sacred Mosque (Al-Masjid-ul-Harām), and (O Muslims), wherever you are, turn your faces in its direction. Even those who have been given the Book know well that it is the truth from their Lord, and Allah is not unaware of what they do.” [Quran 2:144]

Social Justice and Equality

Islam places a strong emphasis on social justice and equality, advocating for the fair treatment of all individuals irrespective of their race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “None of you truly believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself” (Sahih Bukhari). This Hadith underscores the importance of empathy and fairness in our interactions with others, fostering a sense of unity and inclusivity within society.

Cultural Diversity within Islam

Islam is not monolithic, but rather encompasses a rich mosaic of cultures, languages, and traditions from around the world. This diversity is celebrated within the Islamic framework, with different communities bringing their unique customs and practices to the fold of Islam while maintaining their identity as Muslims. The Quran affirms this diversity, stating:

“And among His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the diversity of your languages and colours. Indeed, in that are signs for those of knowledge” (Quran 30:22)

In a world marked by division and discord, Islam offers a path towards unity, compassion, and understanding. Its teachings inspire individuals to transcend their differences and come together in pursuit of a common purpose: to worship Allah and serve humanity.

When most Westerners, especially the secular ones, think of religion they think of something they have seen in their own cultures and societies, i.e., Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, and Buddhism.

And quite naturally, since most of them lack the insight and knowledge to understand Islam properly, they tend to lump it in with the other religions. That is a big mistake.

Islam can be properly described as a totalitarian way of life and a highly effective system of conquest, disguised as a religion.

Islam is totalitarian, not just in the sense of theocratic and dictatorial regimes, but also in the sense that there is virtually no part of a believer’s life that is not touched or influenced in some manner by it.

Virtually everything a Muslim does is influenced or guided by his faith, by Sharia law, or both.

In this sense, free will as Westerners and other non-Muslims understand it, is anathema to those inhabiting Dar al-Islam, the “House of Islam.”

Likewise, there is no real analog to the Western notion of liberty or freedom. The Arabic word most closely corresponding to “freedom” is typically said to be “hurriya,” but this is false for the term does not correspond to “liberty” or “freedom” in the sense that an American, for example, would understand it.

It instead means “freedom” to do as “Allah wills” for that individual.

Many traditional religious faiths and systems have laws or codes of law which attach to them.

What makes Sharia (Islamic) law unique, however, is that in theory, it applies not only to Muslims but to non-Muslims as well. At least that is what the Koran, the Hadith, and the Sira command.

Non-Muslims or kafirs, also known as infidels, ~ are denied the most basic of human rights under Islamic suzerainty.

They are most often akin to slaves, serfs, or supplicants, and even those non-Muslim dhimmis who serve a useful purpose to the sultan or caliph and survive on that basis, are still treated with inhuman brutality and can be beaten or slain at the whim of any Muslim male.

Most Westerners are familiar with the history of slavery, but how many know that Muslims have been the greatest slavers in history?

Which is to say, the most prolific takers, buyers, and sellers of slaves in history.

Even today, in many parts of the Islamic world, the Arabic word for slave, “Abd,” is synonymous with the slang or informal word for a black man.

Although the Muslims took many millions of black Africans as slaves, they likewise took many millions of Europeans and other peoples as slaves from temperate climates further north, venturing as far north as Ireland and Iceland on slave-taking raids.

As some of you may know, the very first war fought by the United States as an independent nation was the Barbary War of 1801-1805 (with a brief flare-up in 1815), fought against Islamic raiders and pirates off the coast of North Africa.

These nautical jihadists had been seizing American shipping and holding the passengers and cargo for ransom. President Thomas Jefferson grew tired of their demands and sent the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps to Tripoli to teach them a lesson.

Various Islamic potentates, rulers, and warlords have infamously slain infidels by the multitudes down through the centuries.

According to the work of historians and political scientists who have studied such phenomena, the greatest or largest single genocide in human history was committed by the Islamic Mughal Empire in what is now the Indian sub-continent over years in the 15th century.

During that time, an estimated 270 million Hindus and other non-Muslims were put to the sword.

So many were slain that the streets ran with blood and giant pyramids of human skulls were erected by the soldiers of Allah.

Of course, many other empires and nations have committed acts of genocide, but such wanton bloodletting is impressive even by the standards of the worst tyrants of the 20th century, who had modern industrial warfare and weapons at their disposal but did not manage to even approach the totals of the Mughal Empire.

Historians consider the Armenian genocide (1915-1921) to be the first “modern” genocide since it was the first such atrocity that was recorded by still and motion-picture photography.

The Sunni Muslim Ottoman Empire in what is now modern-day Turkey was responsible for it and even today, under the government of Recep Erdogan, the president of Turkey, it is still a crime to speak or write of the extermination of the Armenians and Greeks, most of whom were Christians.

Anyone who has seen the haunting photos of young girls, Christian virgins, crucified by their captors and slowly dying in the hot sun in the desert, will never forget them.

These basic historical facts about Islam used to be widely known and taught across the West, but they have been politely airbrushed out of our history in recent decades, and now few people know of them …. or the danger presented by the soldiers of Allah.

The things happening around me make me question if there are any laws protecting people because millions can be oppressed with no change or action from governments. What have we achieved if people aren’t protected from illegal oppression? What are we celebrating today? Another year of what? Oppression? What freedom are we celebrating? What’s the point of these celebrations if thousands can be killed without any remorse? What advancements have we truly made if life, freedom, and dignity are not protected? A hadith states that a person’s life is more sacred than the Kaaba, yet thousands have been killed with no action. Ironically, if anything happens to Kaaba (astaghfirullah, may it never happen), Muslim nations will unite to save it, forgetting that a person’s life is more sacred than the Kaaba.

[mochamuslim]

when some Muslim men today speak of what they want in a wife they’re quick to say “oh she has to be a submissive breeding machine that is unconditionally and irrevocably in love with me” like buddy let me introduce you to the Prophet Muhammad and HIS WIVES (Bc the prophet didn’t have an ego and was comfortable in his own masculinity! )

the Prophets first wife was older and richer than him. She was a business woman in her own right who ran her own commercial dealings across the region, she’s also the one who made the first move (defying gender roles was a thing for her tbh) and PROPOSED to the prophet. She was the first convert to Islam and single-handedly funded the Muslim Ummah in its earlier days. The Prophet and her were the IT couple if u ask me tbh!!!

Then we have Sawda Bint Zamah, again an older woman. She’s pretty underrated ngl, she was a good storyteller who liked to engage with others through her tales (her favourites included the times she spent in Abyssinia). Sawda was also known for her humor, she could make the prophet laugh like NO other (I’ll make a separate post about this). Sawda also didn’t mind if she was the butt of the joke either and remained a very likeable and outgoing lady.

And Ofc we cannot go without mentioning our queen Aisha (who was 19 not 9 I just wanted to get that outta the way). She was known for her assertive temperament, mischief and intelligence. She was also graced w an eidetic memory, she narrated a lot of hadiths and was one of the most distinguished and prolific scholars of her time. She was a stateswoman, jurist, mufti and military general all in one. Aisha rly brought the girlboss trend back after Khadijah.

Then we have Hafsah, whos name means little lioness. This rly suits her bc she was the daughter of Umar Ibn Al Khattab, she inherited her fathers personality basically. She was very inquisitive and much like Aisha, she was a famous scholar. Hafsah always stood her ground and enjoyed debating and arguing w the Prophet. Another thing that she’s known for is for being the custodian of the Quran, she’s also likely the reason why it’s so perfectly preserved.

After that we have Zaynab Bing Khuzaymah, not much is known Abt this queen and tbh it makes me rly sad … she also died 2 years after her marriage to the prophet. One poet immortalised her as “The mother of the poor” due to how often she gave to charity, she was basically a comrade to those destitute and needy folks and tbh we stan her for that.

MY PERSONAL FAVOURITE UMM SALAMA — She was known for being wise, superbly eloquent and ran circles w the men of her time bc of how cool she was. She also outsmarted them w her wits whenever they tried to belittle her. She was a sharp political analyst, accompanied the prophet on all his military expeditions and served as his adviser. She was like the less feisty and more stoic version of Aisha ..

Then we have another Zaynab but this Zaynab is the daughter of Jahsh. She was known for being truthful, deliberate and oh so purposeful. Zaynab did like to bicker w her co wives and poke their nerves, but I mean she was human. I’d like to imagine she also had a sarcastic flair to her (which I mean if u read the hadiths it’s pretty evident). She was also a small business girlboss bc after the prophets death she started making arts and crafts.

We have now come to Umm Habiba. Now Umm Habiba came from an aristocratic family (she was the daughter of Abu Sufyan and Hind for ffs) and she hated it !! She was a well known diplomat and politics were never her cup of tea but if were being fair she did throw shade sometimes at ppl she didn’t like that much. She was also very generous and liked to spoil people with gifts, such as her maid servant. Umm Habiba always went against the grain and that’s cool.

Now we have Safiya Bint Huyyay. I rly don’t like how we portray her as the soft one and like yeah she was, she was very emotional and liked to cry a lot but she was also resilient and faced ppl coldly for tormenting her bc of her Jewish ancestry. She was a warrior and tight w Uthman bc after his house was seiged she made a passage from his home to hers so she could supply his family with food and water.

Introducing Juwayriyah Bint Al Harith, she was known for her beauty and skills in poetry, she was also extremely loyal to her people. Another thing that highlights her personality is how she grew up w all the refinements and graces of a princess yet she was still down-to-earth. She also demanded her rights and didn’t stand for being treated differently just bc she was Jewish, an example can be found when Umar wanted to give her less money than her co-wives and she was having none of it.

Finally, we have Maymunah Bint Al Harith. I’d like to think of her as the most chill and drama free, she also saught the prophets hand in marriage first!! Maymunah would also take loans and one time she borrowed a large sum of money and someone asked her “girl how will u pay it back” so she responded “ chill Allah will pay off my debt” so yeah that gives u a hint of her relax-ness.

Sooooo we can see that all these wives had personalities that would be considerable undesirable in this day and age by Muslim men but the prophet didn’t mind and walked the aisle w them anyway. My point is, Muslim women aren’t passive. They aren’t submissive. They aren’t obedient. They don’t have to suck up to your desires. Oh and another thing!!

They should follow the example of the Umm Al Mumineen.
