What is Allah's 'True Islam'?



source: http://www.islamreview.com/articles/trueislam.shtml

Though Indonesia is the largest Islamic country in the world; the
overwhelming majority of Indonesian Muslims are of the Hannafi sect
{with their own Hannafi Quran}. The Shia sect's Quran differs
fundamentally from the Sunni Quran; as most Muslims would already
know. The Shia sect and a few others, observe Ashura {Flagellation}
every year - this bloodletting is by their males only {from infancy}.
The Wahabi Sect's Quran {mainly Saudi Arabia} is the most archaic and
unforgiving of all the {puritanical} Quranic texts {sura - verses}
among the more than 200 plus Islamic sects {Islamic Denominations}. If
one lands in Saudi Arabia with a non-Wahabi Quran, it is confiscated
by the Saudi Authorities, with no explanation given and burnt {such is
the intolerance practiced by the Islamic Wahabi Sect, even with other
Islamic Qurans}.

The largest Islamic sect in Islam, is the Sunni Sect {mainly Arabs}
and there are some other Islamic sects who also follow the Sunni Quran
in varying degrees, therefore, making the Sunni Quran, more acceptable
among the majority of the Muslims {A guestimate of about 75% in total.
M.M. Pickthall's English Quran is translated from the Sunni Quran.}.
Generally, all the Qurans have a somewhat basic text, but the
additional sura varies markedly from about 6,200 verses to about 6,700
verses in total. The Sunni Quran has 6, 241 sura {verses}, and as far
as I know, all Qurans have a standard 114 chapters, but the number of
sura within each chapter could evidently vary {Increase or decrease}.
Therefore, a given number of a particular sura in one Quran could be
different, with another Islamic Sect's Quran. {Check various Islamic
websites for proof of the number differences}.

Generally, the basic problem with all Qurans is that most sura are
open-ended, leading to various interpretations, as you will obviously
note below. Test this, with 10 Muslims, and you could possible get 10
different interpretations {That is, if they know their Quran - most
Muslims don't.}

Most Muslims rely on their clerics to interpret the Quran/Hadiths and
generally these clerics give only a whitewashed version of the Quran,
for the sake/will of Allah, which is not actually in the Quran/
Hadiths. Many Muslims genuinely do not know the 'True Islam' and
believe in the whitewashed Islam as true - but, in truth, that version
of the Quran does not exist.

So, let me request Muslims/non-Muslims to buy the English Quran of
Abdullah Yusuf Ali [Egyptian], or M.M.Pickthall [British], or Muhammad
Zafrulla Khan [Pakistani] or A. J. Arberry, etc or in the French
language, by Muhammad Hamidullah or D. Masson, {these are all
recognized translations of the Quran by Islamic scholars}, and you
yourself, could also check the "True Islam" I mention below, and more
importantly, to be aware of the truth in the Quran. So, please confirm
what is said in this article as per the "True Islam" If a Muslim says
something good about Islam, ask for the sura number and check it out.
Remember, a good sura doesn't cancel the bad sura in the Quran.

Some Islamic sects - 1. Sunni 2. Qaramitis/Ibahiyya 3. Hannafi 4.
Ahmadiyah 5. Shaffi'e 6. Qadiani 7. Sufi 8. Dervish 9. Ka'biyah 10.
Alawites {Alawites believe in drinking wine, communion services, etc,
and are the ruling class of Syria today} 11. Baktashi 12. Druze.
{People of the Druze sect is the only Islamic people engaged in the
Israeli army to defend Israel against their Arab Muslim neighbours.
The Druze Quran is a more contemporary version} I3. Ismailiyya 14.
Shia 15. Taslim 16. Sufi - Sufism is fundamentally different from the
Sunni and Shia Qurans. 17. - And the list, goes on and on for more
than the 200 Islamic Sects. Check with your encyclopedia for details
of these Islamic Sects and their founders.

Note: Many people mistake the "Nation of Islam" {NOI} as an Islamic
sect - it is not; but a religion on its own. The NOI asserts that its
founder, Fard Muhammad, was the incarnation of Allah himself {Allah in
human flesh on earth} and began in the USA, in 1930. NOI elevates
blacks (non-Caucasians) above Caucasians {whites}. A NOI tenet holds
that a renegade Afro-American scientist, Yacub created the Caucasians.

Every time Muslims behead humans, bomb innocent people, commit suicide
bombings, etc, in the name of Allah; Muslims generally, respond to
these Islamic atrocities by saying "those Muslims do not know the
'True Islam'". What is this "True Islam" which seems to be so slippery
and elusive to so many Muslims the world over?

Do you hear Hindus who don't know Hinduism, or Buddhists who don't
know Buddhism, or Taoists who don't know Taoism, or Bahais who don't
know Bahai'ism going around in the name of their God; killing other
religious people the world over? Then, why is it that "only Muslims
who don't know True Islam" are going around and committing such savage
acts of inhumanity and terrorism?

Islam is not even half of Christianity and the Hindus are nearly about
the same number as the Muslims and yet non-Muslim religions do not
seem to have the same problems as Muslims do with their slippery and
mysterious "True Islam".

Why is it that so many Muslims the world over, 'don't know' the 'True
Islam'? Could it then be, that many Muslims are purposely misleading
other Muslims into an untrue Islam? If true, then is it not the work
of Satan to divide Muslims? Why aren't Muslims and their clergy not
condemning these Muslims who commit atrocities? Don't Muslims in
general, care that 'Muslims who don't know the True Islam' are
bringing a very bad reputation to all Muslims/Islam, the world over,
even in almost all Islamic countries?

Why is the deadly silence from most Muslims, among non-Muslim
societies when 9/11 occurred? Why were Muslims dancing and jumping
with joy openly on the streets, rejoicing on other people's sufferings/
misery? Is this a tenet of Islam?
