Islam 101

Alaikoam Salam

These are things I have learned from my research over the past 10 or 15 years.

Some people do not agree with my theories and that is okay too as we are all intitled to our opinions.

We shall see where my research will bring me in future, inshallah to a place of peace within myself firstly and secondly peace within my family, thirdly within my community peace and fourthly within my Nation and fifthly within the world, God willing.

Mashallah may we all be ready to meet our challenges with knowledge, grace and dignity.

Peace

The reason I talk so much about Education, Counseling and Consultation is that few religions spell this out plainly.

Also we are in crisis in many parts of the world and Education, Counseling and Consultation can help in the Great Sorting Out, Surah 99, 1-8 where we will be shown what we have done good and what we have not done so good and then sort further into resolution groups to resolve any challenges in an Inter Faiith setting.

Though I will add again, Islam the word means to submit to the will of Allah and we all do this in degrees, 10%, 20%, 45%, 65% etc and therefore there are more than 10 Billion Muslims and we are each free to choose our path of return to Allah.

Therefor it is my belief that Christianity, Buddhism, Judahism and even Hindu and Seikism are valid expressions of the evolution of Islam and are paths that are valuable from which to choose.  Even choosing to be a free spirit is a valid path choice.

As there is no compulsion in religion and Allah guides whom He will.

Everyone has the right to choose for themselves their spiritual path.

Though seeing as many people are having a challenge deciding what path to follow that is where my Inter Faith Education, Counseling and Consultation Jihad comes in.

But there are many subjects that need attention and work, like family violence, sexual health information accessibility to a certified clinic as well as everyone having access to training for employment purposes to name a few challenges.

In all this humanity is made up of Muslims first and then the way they express their Islam, ie Muslim the religion, Christianity, Hinduism, Judaism etxc.There fore it is appropriate to say Salam Alaikoam to everyone you meet.

Of course these are my opinions.

Apex,

Before Anne Marie replies, I would like to clarify that consultation, counselling and education is already stressed on in Qur'aan.

The Arabic words Shura, Fata-bai-yan-nu and Ilm in Qur'aan encourage all that she has mentioned. Any Muslim reading Qur'aan will know that.

Unfortunately that is where the Muslim world failed and now they realise that education, consultation and counselling have to be revived and speeded up.

It is never too late but it is still too early to say if Muslim leaders have really woken up from their slumber to this urgent need.
