Oh The Irony!
In the name of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful.May the peace and blessings of Allah subahanahu wa ta'aala be upon his last and final messenger(saw)
Asalamu alaykum (Peace be upon you)
Im sure Muslims can relate with me when I say that there is a major irony in associating Islam with terrorism. It's really very silly how people who maybe haven't even read a 100 page book about Islam suddenly have an opinion about this most perfect religion. One of the names of Allah subhaanahu wa ta'aala is As Salam which means the source of peace. How then can a religion that has been decreed for us by As Salam The King subhaanahu wa ta'aala have faults or include terror and oppression.
Allah subhaanahu wa ta'aala said in a Hadith Qudsi (sacred hadith)
On the authority of Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (PBUH) is that among the sayings he relates from his Lord (may He be glorified) is that He said:
O My servants, I have forbidden oppression for Myself and have made it forbidden amongst you, so do not oppress one another. O My servants, all of you are astray except for those I have guided, so seek guidance of Me and I shall guide you, O My servants, all of you are hungry except for those I have fed, so seek food of Me and I shall feed you. O My servants, all of you are naked except for those I have clothed, so seek clothing of Me and I shall clothe you. O My servants, you sin by night and by day, and I forgive all sins, so seek forgiveness of Me and I shall forgive you. O My servants, you will not attain harming Me so as to harm Me, and will not attain benefitting Me so as to benefit Me. O My servants, were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and the jinn of you to be as pious as the most pious heart of any one man of you, that would not increase My kingdom in anything. O My servants, were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and the jinn of you to be as wicked as the most wicked heart of any one man of you, that would not decrease My kingdom in anything. O My servants, were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and the jinn of you to rise up in one place and make a request of Me, and were I to give everyone what he requested, that would not decrease what I have, any more that a needle decreases the sea if put into it. O My servants, it is but your deeds that I reckon up for you and then recompense you for, so let him finds good praise Allah and let him who finds other that blame no one but himself.
It was related by Muslim (also by at-Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah).
Allah subhaanahu wa ta'aal also says in the holy Qur'an
Chapter 5 verse 32
For that cause We decreed for the Children of Israel that whosoever killeth a human being for other than manslaughter or corruption in the earth, it shall be as if he had killed all mankind, and whoso saveth the life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind. Our messengers came unto them of old with clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty), but afterwards lo! many of them became prodigals in the earth.
A little common sense really does go a long way. if only people would do the the math. correctly!
