An Invitation from a Muslim Cleric to You
-
I'm so happy to see more of you interested in coming and thank you to the brothers who will debate too! sun Where are the sisters who'll debate?? (nudge nudge Sis Samia) ;D
I know, I know!
I could not commit myself as I will be abroad for a job sometime in the next week/ten days. But I am not ruling out the possibility of my participation. I have to see when it will take place and decide upon that. -
I hope to see all of you there and please remember to show your best faces. The other day when I went in there again, most of the sunnis in the room NEVER heard of any quran alone movement and I quickly got many private messages of people who were intrigued by my good islamic manners and wanted to ask me more. If I had gone in there disrespectfully and attacking and insulting all that they believe in I can guarantee those same people would have treated me like crap and probably labelled me a kafra without hearing one word. Keep that in mind that you will be their first taste. Let's show them tolerance, intellect, kindness and patience. Also know that we might not change anyone's beliefs and we might even be insulted by others who don't care how nice you are to them. Show patience and maturity.
That is what I have often said that beautiful preaching is the key. It may be true that no matter how good your manner is many people will never listen you. However, on the other hand the will also a few people who will and wholeheartedly feel attracted to your preaching.
Peace,

True, but it is one thing to be suspicious but Mansour's style is very critical and talks as if he knows the answers. Its Arab mentality, if you read some stuff from Schacht and Goldziher, they would always remind you that they do not have definite proof and that there needs to be more study and research in it. Arabs meanwhile speak as if they have the facts and then would start accusing based on these presumed facts. Even Gamal Banna says that hadiths have been "proven" to be false and fabricated, yet orientals never claim that. This is the Arab lack of objectivity. Mansour also accuses other Muslims of deviancy as some here do, so whats the difference with Sunni Islam. They also accuse others of deviancy and kufr even if they are not able to provide evidence that these hadiths are authentic.
We don't want to replace on extremism with another.Cannot agree with u more bro.. on "Arab Mentalilty", even the Quran said very much the same thing..
(Read my footer) -
And i cannot disagree more. how racist and bigoted. i would suggest you both don't make such blanketed statements about people based on their origins. why didn't you finish up to verse 99 bro jafar?
-
agree with BOOST. that verse is just wrong.
Clear cut enemy of Allah!!
-
LOL ;D

As-Salaamu Alaikum Forum,
Just some words from Al Quran to remind those who will be participating
{125}
Invite (all) to the Way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious for thy Lord knoweth best, who have strayed from His Path, and who receive guidance.
{53}
Say to My servants that they should (only) say those things that are best for Satan doth sow dissensions among them For Satan is to man an avowed enemy.
{54}
It is your Lord that knoweth you best If He please, He granteth you mercy, or if He please, punishment We have not sent thee to be a disposer of their affairs for them.
{104}
Let there arise out of you a band of people inviting to all that is good, enjoining what is right, and forbidding what is wrong They are the ones to attain felicity.
{105}
Be not like those who are divided amongst themselves and fall into disputations after receiving Clear Signs For them is a dreadful penalty,-
As-Salaamu Alaikum, peace

Its not bigoted, its facts. Arabs as a WHOLE, and not everyone are known not be objective. The Arab poetry is NEVER objective but opposite extremes, its known. Its either hija or madh, absolute criticism and absolute praise. Just look at how they talk about the West, they either worship it or hate its guts, never objective. Never we like their science and technology and their charitable works but oppose its political policies and some of its racism. If you say that one side will call you are a religious extremist(liberals) the other will call you an apostate(islamist) &

I also agree with Quran on that... how many Arab scholars do we see? The only arabic-English lexicon we have is written by lane, What these arabs have done for Islam? They are hypocrites they do not want people to understand Quran, they are the number one enemies of Islam...And its just waste of time to talk to these ignorants.

The Arabs are the worst in disbelief and hypocrisy, and the most likely to ignore the laws that GOD has revealed to His messenger. GOD is Omniscient, Most Wise.http//www.submission.org/efarsi/arabic/Surat9_files/9_98.gif
Some Arabs consider their spending (in the cause of God) to be a loss, and even wait in anticipation that a disaster may hit you. It is they who will incur
the worst disaster. GOD is Hearer, Omniscient.Only the verse 99 says some of them believe in God...
http//www.submission.org/efarsi/arabic/Surat9_files/9_99.gifBut some of the desert Arabs believe in God and the Last Day, and look on their payments as pious gifts bringing them nearer to God and obtaining the prayers of the Apostle. Aye, indeed they bring them nearer (to Him) soon will God admit them to His Mercy for God is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.

330 MILLION people live in the middle east (not including those that live outside of the region) and you are judging them all based on your reading of Arabic Poetry?
As a basic rule, bro Bigmo, poetry is meant to appeal to emotions and the senses. Hence, you will never find an unbiased poem. How presumptuous it is to base your racist remarks on a bunch of poems you read.
May a word to the wise be sufficient God warned us of the consequences of ARROGANCE.

I will not be diverted into petty arguments over such ignorance. Arabs are people like you and me. There are some that are believers and others that are not. This is the same for Pakistanis and any other ethnic group. Only the one who has a disease in his heart will read those three verses as anything else than that basic principle that in every group of people you will find the good and the bad.
I take great offense to your statements RasulHamsa.
Back to the topic.

Ok, then so be it, but I will tell you, there is nowhere in the Muslim world where Bukhari, Muslim, Tirmidhi and Tabari reigns like the Arab world and those in the
Muslim world that are influenced by them. Nowhere in the Mulsim are the Wahhabi influence greater and nowhere in the muslim world are the Western influence greater. You figure it out. hmmArabs are nothing but bad news, be honest they probably more than any other Muslims became Muslims by the sword and the conquest of the 4 Caliphs. Yet they brag and boast like no other. hail They gave the world nothing but suicide bombers and terror yet they brag and boast like they are something. They assume they are the best of Muslims and think they are all that but 250 million of them couldn't even fight 5 million Jews. Yet they still brag and boast. Every where they spread their version of Islam its nothing but disaster.
Ok, your choice. giveup

Maybe Arabs today give little to the world. But in the past they gave a lot.

No, they preserved what others done, and this others is appreciated by non Arabs more than them. The phiolosophy they preserved is not theirs, but others, and today if you preach that stuff in the Arab World you will be labelled an apostate. Philosophy is now finished in the Arab world. Who cares about the past, today the Arabs are the sick man of the Muslim world, yet they brag and boast about themselves beyond imagination.
Ok, whatever Go to Egypt or Saudi Arabia, Iraq or Lebanon and see whats happening.

Thank you for 2 pages worth of exxagerated half-truths. You've proved yourself to be an arrogant racist.
You're off-topic and out of line.
