Offensive Cartoon

HerjihadFunny, I had to read it a few times before I got it. My brain is a little slow today. Anyway I think humor can be a great way to diffuse a tense situation. And I think being born muslim or reverting means absoloutly nothing as far as how much you love prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) or any other messenger. I have a good story to tell, a long time ago when I was fresh out of high school I used to hang out at a cofee shop with a bunch of my girlfriends. We met some young rather short men that we would talk with from time to time. They were Iraqi Kuridish refugees. We used to get in lots of discussions with them and they would tell us about thier homeland and all of thier trials and problems. They would also talk a little about religon. One evening we were all surprised to learn that they Muslims believed in our Jesus. Jesus(may Peace be with him) we thought, he is our prophet and saviour. What can these guys know about him? But really we rarely though of Jesus and only celebrated his birth at Christmas and his death at Easter.

One of the guys said, I love Jesus and he put his fist to his heart. He looked so emotional and he really meant it. He went on to talk about Jesus and his Mother the blessed Mary. I sincerely believe he had far more love in his heart for Jesus and Mary than most Christians I have met. Certainly more than any of us did. He was a Muslim and he taught me about Jesus. And maybe a reverted Muslim can teach another Muslim about Mohammed. And maybe we can even learn about Islam from the good Islamic deeds of some non Muslims. Just like I learned about Jesus. Mashalla Now I am a Muslim and I love Jesus, Mohammed and all the prophets, but it is a love that grows with time and wisdom. With prayers and fasting. It is a work in progress!!!!

Sayyidina Muhammad (saw) was given name of 'Rahim' by Allah (swt) which is one of our dear lord's name, it is bein said that Sayyidina Muhammad (saw) was a mercy for the whole world, every1 understands why he is mercy to believers but scholars explain that he is a mercy to non-believers too. as in previous nations big sins against Allah swt were punished in the world straight away as in the case of ummah of Sayyidina Muhammad (saw) they r given more time n if they act good in the world n r not believers their good acts dont go to waste but r rewarded in this world.  our dear prophet (saw) is a mercy to the world but this dont mean that we let rubbish thrown at him, our responsibility is to stand between that, in his time his behaviour was his advocate, it spoke for him louder than anything n made his stern enemies best of believers but these days its our responsibility cos im sure those ppl know very well bout his pure character but this is done to incite hatred for muslims, we should boycott danish products even though if we love it cos if we let it go we dont know whats goin to come next,

n issue of born or revert muslims should neva hav been raised cos its imaan that counts but khair neway

subhanAllah wabehamdehi, subhanAllah-ilazeem, it is said that there was a town in ancient times n every1 in that town exept one person were transgressors n they used to do every evil deed there is, n this person used to b very pious n did every thing according to command of his lord exept that he neva told any1 else bout the right from wrong n neva tried to preach msg of his lord, so when Allah swt ordered his angels to destroy the town they said to their lord that in that town there is also a person who is very good slave of his lord as he worships all the time, Allah swt ordered the angels to start it from that person's house

n ppl of knowledge explaind it that it was bcos once a person knows bout the oneness of his lord n learns n follows his laws then next step is to take it to others  n he is blameworthy if he keeps quite, im sure u must have heard the hadith that Sayyidina Muhammad (saw) said that if one of u sees an evil action he should stop it with his hands, if he cant do this then he should try to stop it with his tongue and if he cant do this then atleast he should think bad of it in his heart n this is the weakest form of imaan.

mashaAllah this forum has many ppl with fear of Allah swt n love of their prophet (saw) in their heart, i pray that Allah swt gives us guidance n hikmah to say the right thing in right manner, ameen
