Objections on the behavior and character of the Muslims
By Maulana Muhammad Tayyab
Nowadays, people used to say that Islam is the best religion of the world
but its believers are the worst among the believers of religions.
This negative thinking, which is in fact a complex, caught the attention of
the minds of not only the non-Muslims, but the Muslims also.
Very few people are aware of the fact that this thinking is being propagated
to curb Islam--a religion the West is afraid of.
It would be better if we make a thorough research why
this false propaganda has been on air for so long.
It is quite clear that most of the people who learnt about Islam or embraced
Islam got attached to the religion after being inspired of any Muslim's
personality, either watching him his nearby or in the media.
The quality of moral character of that Muslim made such psychological
effects on the minds of the people that stressed him to either embrace
Islam, or at least to learn the actual teachings of the religion.
Each time a person embraced Islam, it was either a quality of Islam that
inspired him to embrace the religion or it was a quality of anyone of its
believers that compelled him to do so.
No other religion can present an example like that in which a person, after
being inspired of any believer's character, embraced that religion while
Islam--even in the present century--can present a great many examples of
that phenomena.
Presenting a concept that each and every believer of a religion is the worst
of the whole human being irrespective of the fact that the religion is the
best among the existing religions of the world is itself a wrong and false
concept.
A religion cannot be the best among the existing religions of the world if
it is unable to present a single personality that could show that it is
acting upon the religion in its actual essence.
In fact, such a religion is neither a religion nor a code of life.
Islam, on the contrary, even nowadays, can present examples of persons who
are acting upon it in the whole world. If we reconsider the issue, we will
spot the fact that the people who have been putting the issue before mankind
that the believers of Islam are unable to act upon the fundamental teachings
of Islam are actually those who are totally unaware of the fundamental
teachings of the religion.
Even today, the character of majority of the Muslim rulers is free from sex
scandals which include oral sex issues that are common among the rulers of
Western countries--a social evil every human being, either a Muslim or a
non-Muslim, should avoid. Where will the West put this act of chastity and
avoiding the social evil? Is it not acting upon Islam?
Is it also declaring the Muslims to be the worst nation among the nations of
the world?
Remembering that chastity is not only the fundamental teaching of Islam, but
in fact, of every religion of the world, either existing or non-existing,
can one ignore the fact that nowadays only Muslims are practicing the
teaching at their best. Religious discrimination, as far as I know, has been
badly used against Islam and the Muslims. By strengthening different
un-Islamic sects, who portray themselves to be Muslims just to malign the
image of Islam in the eyes of human beings, non-Muslim nations have tried
their best to crush the Muslims.
They used terms like 'Muslim terrorists' and 'Muslim kidnappers' in the
media to testify that their philosophy is true that the Muslims are everyone
except a civilized nation. They never used these kinds of words if the
condition is vice versa, ie any other religionist commit such act.
They never discussed the issue that it were they who smuggled the Muslims
from Africa after making those free men slaves after capturing them. Is it
not enough to testify that they were the worst who did not even spare a
living human being? In the famous novel "Roots", Alex Healy described the
oppression of the West on the poor Muslims of Africa very clearly.
How many Muslim countries have been doing the business with non-Muslims?
Saying something is easy but to prove it with facts and figures is totally
different.
Muslims obey their Lord both when they are alone and in company.
The basic concept of making the propaganda is to incite the human beings to
stay away from the easiest and the most beneficial programmed Islam has
carried for them.
The enemies of Islam took every step to present it in the worst style.
Sometimes they presented the image of Islam as if it is the religion of
invaders who massacred people in the past centuries in the name of religion,
excluding the fact that they are doing the same with the Muslims in the form
of a planned human genocide.
They portrayed Islam as the religion of bombers, hijackers, kidnappers and
fundamentalists, calling them, as I have written earlier, "Muslim
kidnappers" and "Muslim fundamentalists" on their media, neglecting the fact
that they also have been indulged in the activities both individually as
well as on government level.
Many countries have been the target of their 'justified bombing' and
'kidnapping'.
Muslims on the contrary, with the exception of a few so-called people, who
portray themselves as Muslims but their actual character is quite contrary
to the actual behavior of Muslims taught by Islam, do not get themselves
involved in such acts. They always preach peace.
'Hatred with the acts but love with the humans' is the basic and fundamental
philosophy taught to every Muslim by Islam and this has been the slogan they
raised in the world.
The people who thought that Islam teaches hatred towards every non-Muslim
are incorrect.
Respecting each and every person and nation has been the behavior of Muslims
since its revival through the hands of the Holy Prophet (Sall Allaho alaihe
wasallam).
For centuries, we, the Muslims, practiced these principles in their essence.
Nevertheless, we have been mocked at by calling us "Muslim kidnappers" or
"fundamentalists", while the fundamental concepts of Islam basically provoke
peace and love among the different sects of society.
Every non-Muslim should kept in mind that even in these days Islam is the
best religion and its followers are the best among the followers of the
religions.
If they do not like it or its followers, they are free to dislike them, but
degrading the religion and defaming the believers is a practice they should
stop themselves from.
May Allah guide them.
"Peace and blessing be on whom who follows the true path."'
