  • TELL FL SENATE COMMITTEE TO OPPOSE SB1360, THE ANTI-MUSLIM BILL
    URGENT APPEAL: The Senate Subcommittee on Criminal and Civil Justice will discuss and vote on SB1360 (the FL Senate version of the anti-Sharia Bill) this Tuesday (2/28/2012) morning. Take 30 seconds to send them a quick message urging them to OPPOSE this unnecessary law and discriminatory law. If this committee does not recommend the bill, the anti-Sharia bill will not become law this year in Florida.
    ACT NOW, TELL SENATE COMMITTEE TO OPPOSE SB1360
    TAKES LESS THAN 30 SECONDS
    BACKGROUND
    In Florida, two state lawmakers – Senator Alan Hays and Representative Larry Metz – have re-introduced sneaky legislation disguised as  “American Laws, American Courts” or SB1360 in the Florida Senate and HB1209 in the Florida House, that are really anti-Muslim bills.

    This menacing attack on religious freedom allegedly aims to keep 'foreign laws' from influencing court cases in the United States. However, the groups pushing this bill nationwide single out Muslims by narrowing the definition of 'foreign laws' to target Muslim religious practices, legal code and/or sharia as it relates to family law, marriage, divorce, custody, child support, parenting plans, inheritance, etc.
      
    PUSH BACK NOW - AFTER SENDING YOUR LETTER, PLEASE CALL THE BELOW SENATORS
    Tell the below 7 Senators to reject SB1360 because it's un-American, un-constituitionan and limits religious liberty.

    In Florida, two state lawmakers – Senator Alan Hays and Representative Larry Metz – have introduced new legislation disguised as  “American Laws, American Courts” or SB 1294 in the Florida Senate and HB 1273 in the Florida House, that are really anti-Muslim laws.

  • Thank President Obama and Speaker Pelosi for Ramadan Greeting
    President Barack Obama, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Secretary Hillary Clinton today sent Ramadan Greetings to Muslims around the world. During an election year where some candidates and pundits aggressively use Islamophobia as a campaign weapon, leaders who choose to celebrate our nation's religious freedom and diversity deserve our thanks and commendation.
    Please take a few seconds to send a quick email to the Obama administration and The Speaker of the House thanking them for respecting and celebrating our pluralistic American Values.


    First, please read excerpts from their statements:
    PRESIDENT OBAMA: "These rituals remind us of the principles that we hold in common, and Islam's role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings. Ramadan is a celebration of a faith known for great diversity and racial equality. And here in the United States, Ramadan is a reminder that Islam has always been part of America and that American Muslims have made extraordinary contributions to our country."1
    SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI: "The holy month of Ramadan is a period of spirituality, reflection and rejoicing for Muslims here and around the world.  It is a time to honor the traditions of the Muslim faith, and an opportunity for all Americans to celebrate the tradition of pluralism, tolerance, diversity, and religious freedom embedded in the very fabric of our Constitution and our history."2

    SECRETARY HILLARY CLINTON: "Ramadan is a time for self-reflection and sharing. American Muslims make valuable contributions to our country every day and millions will honour this month with acts of service and giving back to their communities."3
    USE THE BELOW SECTION TO SEND THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION (PRESIDENT AND SECRETARY OF STATE) AND SPEAKER PELOSI A QUICK THANK YOU NOTE.

  • Ask President Obama to Deliver on the Peace He Promised
    ACT NOW, send President Obama a quick congrats on the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize and ASK HIM TO DELIVER ON THE CHANGE, PEACE he promised.
    ---------
    President Barack Obama has won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize. The fact that he continues to keep peacemaking on the agenda despite our domestic catastrophes that he is currently handling deserves admiration. To be recognized with a Nobel Peace Prize demands our congratulations.

    President Obama has accepted this award as a "call to action." As we congratulate  the president, we should also reinforce the notion that we are anticipating "action."
    Peace is not accomplished by the actions of one man alone. Everyone can and should play a role. Let's do our part and send thousands of letters to the President congratulating him on this achievement and encourage one of the most potentially powerful brokers of peace to keep his promises and deliver “change”.

The danger of disrespecting your parents

The Holy Prophet (S) said. “One who displeases the parents, (it is as if) he has displeased Allah. One who angers both his parents (it is as if) he has angered Allah.” Elsewhere, it is mentioned, “One who hurts his parents, hurts me and one who hurts me has hurt Allah. And the one who hurts Allah is accursed.” Āq al-Walidayn is Not Eligible For Divine Forgiveness The wretchedness of the Āq al-Walidayn is sufficiently evident from the fact that the trustworthy Jibrīl (a.s.) has cursed him and said, “One who is blessed with parents but does not fulfill their (his parent’s) rights will not be forgiven (his sins) by Allah.” 3 When Jibrīl (a.s.) said this, the Holy Prophet (S) uttered, ‘Amen’! DONT disrespect, shout, ignore, annoy, disobey, disregard, disturb our parents. They were looking after us when we were nothing but an easy prey to anything around. They were awake during the nights to make us sleep and feel us secured. We may not remember a thing in the childhoo...

Medical, Scientific and religious Reasons for not Eating Pork:

People ask me all the time, Why don't you eat pork? ...Is it for  religious reasons? ...Are you vegetarian? Are you a Muslim or a Jew  ? Do you know that pork taste good ? Honestly, just today I was even asked for sound scientific evidence affirming the danger of eating pork. I will share a few findings with you. Medical and Scientific Reasons for not Eating Pork: This is a direct quote from "What the Bible Says About Healthy Eating" by Dr. Rex Russell. He attended Baylor School of Medicine in Houston, Texas and did his residency at the Mayo Clinic at Rochester, Minnesota. Let us watch this short video , let the conversation begin: "One reason for God's rule forbidding pork is that the digestive system of a pig is completely different from that of a cow. It is similar to ours, in that the stomach is very acidic. Pigs are gluttonous, never knowing when to stop eating. Their stomach acids become diluted because of the volume of food, allowing all kind...

An open letter to Jehovah Witness :

A letter to Jehovah Witness by Rachidm: Dear Jehovah’s Witnesses: I would like to share with you some biblical research based upon my discussions with Jehovah’s Witnesses friends. My wife used to be a Jehovah Witness. When we got married, I, as a  Muslim told her ; "you have the right to practice your religion". I even offered to give her a ride if needed to the Kingdom hall ( Jehovah Witness place of worship ) .  With an open mind, I supported her and told her I would never mind her practicing and preaching her religion. During our first couple years  of blessed and happy marriage together, I was privileged to engage with my parents in law (upon their request) in a comparative study between Islam and their beliefs. Although they were discouraged from dialogue since they believe their way is the only correct way, I always enjoyed a good open discussion about religion in general. My Mom in law offered me a copy of the New World Translation...

“And no bearer of burdens shall bear another’s burden”. (Quran 35:18)

The idea of Jesus dying on the cross is central to the Christian belief.  It represents the conviction that Jesus died for the sins of mankind.  The crucifixion of Jesus is a vital doctrine in Christianity; however Muslims reject it completely.  Before describing what Muslims believe about Jesus’ crucifixion, it may be useful to understand the Islamic reaction to the notion of original sin. When Adam and Eve ate from the forbidden tree in paradise, they were not tempted by a serpent.  It was Satan who deceived and cajoled them, whereupon they exercised their free will and made an error in judgement.  Eve does not bear the burden of this mistake alone.  Together, Adam and Eve realised their disobedience, felt remorse and begged for God’s forgiveness.  God, in his infinite mercy and wisdom, forgave them.  Islam has no concept of original sin; each person bears responsibility for his own deeds. “And no bearer of burdens shall bear another’s bur...

THE DOCTRINE OF ORIGINAL SIN

Greetings of peace, This post is an answer to a new friend whom I recently met and respect , a devout Christian  passionate about sharing his religion with others , who challenged me to provide some proofs regarding why Muslims don't accept the doctrine of  original sin; a doctrine ( including the concept of trinity ) that  was  added by the Church at the Council of Nicaea some 325 years after Jesus left the earth.  Notice I say left the earth ( meaning resurected alive by Allah )  and not died yet or crucify as some claims ,  but that is a topic for another day. Back to the doctrine of original sin. Are we born with so called Original sin or born innocent ? Is a Newly Born Baby really a Sinner? Islam Challenges The Concept of Original Sin. Let us found out why ? let's take a look at the following passages from The Bible: (Deuteronomy 24:16)   “The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children...
