Six Flag-ed Questions for Muslims

2 comments

Recently, I am overwhelmed by Muslim spammers who are urging other Muslims through repeated emails to protest and boycott Danish products in response to publishing of cartoons. I have few questions for them and I urge you to send these questions in email to as many Muslims as possible---that you know of---so that they become more introspective. Ask them to find the answer to the following:

I. Recently, in Middle East Muslims destroyed Danish food and threw away food in streets. I ask following questions:


  • Question 1. Did prophet of Islam recommended this behavior?
  • Question 2. Do Muslims know how much Allah despise when we spoil the Rizaq (food) ?
  • Question 3. Does Islam recommend Muslims to spoil food when Allah (SBWH) asks in Quran: Who has made it Haram for you that I have made Halal?
II. Doctors in Pakistan are not going to prescribe life saving Danish medicines even in case there is no alternative because they consider it Haram to prescribe these medicines in love of prophet.


  • Question 4. Isn't it that Allah has recommended us to consider Haram as Halal when it comes to saving lives (I don't even consider Danish medicines Haram)?
  • Question 5. Is it ok to punish those who are not involved in offending Muslims sensibilities (Although, prophet choose not to punish and that is my guiding light).
III. Muslims have destroyed property of fellow Muslims in Pakistan as well as in other countries.


  • Question 6. Didn't prophet say that you cannot be among the best Muslims if other Muslims are not safe from your hand, arm, and mouth?

(If Islam=Peace then I must say that everyone must be safe from the hands, arms, and mouth of Muslims) .

Please all Muslims respond to my questions and Inshallah we can have more positive discussions among Muslim communities around the globe.

On a side note: Our love for prophet or the respect that Allah has given him cannot diminish in anyway even if we choose not to do anything. In fact, our love for prophet (PBUH) demands us to do only one thing and that is to do exactly the way he did. He opted for peace, forgiveness, and mercy. Allah knows this and so does He (PBUH).

Sheik Abdul-Aziz Arafa, a Muslim scholar who teaches in Mecca at the Grand Mosque and at the Sawlatia School, a religious institute that is 125 years old says: "What most people don't understand," he said, "is the strong bond, the powerful link that connects Muslims and their prophet, God's prayers and peace upon him. He is sitting with us right now. When we talk about him, he is present, listening, and when we send him greetings, he sends them right back."Sheikh Arafa's lecture was hosted by Samir Barqa and he said the following about the cartoon event.

"Muhammad lay bleeding and injured after being stoned by young men in the mountain city of Taif. But he never exacted revenge on them and turned it down when the angels offered it.

We have only to go back to his examples to see that he never returned an insult with an insult. He remained balanced and steady. He would not have been happy about the turn of events."
"Please pay attention to these words about Prophet Mohammad (PBUH):


  • "He never returned an insult with an insult."
Alhamdollilah! I am Muslims and I am proud that my religion teaches me only peace, forgiveness, and justice the way Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was committed to it. I am not ashamed of Islam but of radical Muslims who do not understand the message of peace in our religion and still claim that "Islam is a religion of peace."

May Allah help every Muslim to understand the message of Salama (peace).

  • Dear JMJ
    Thanks for your comments on my Blog. The author of the article is very brave indeed. He is taking a challenge to educate Muslims and we need more and more people who break the Mullah hierarchy. I will appreciate if you send me the actual link to the article. People have been asking me in response to my Six Questions what should they do. In fact one has given me a detailed response that supports my belief and it has grown stronger because I am witnessing good coming out in response to my questions. Allah knows but it is true that I have been able to change many hearts and quell animosity. I believe you are a good and believing soul and all your friends who want to do good are brave souls.

    The Islamic tradition’s main source is Quran. The orthodox Muslims are in fact not following the tradition of GOD. You have been asking me why violent Muslims believe that GOD is instructing them to do what they are doing. But the truth is that GOD is instructing them in Quran to spread peace but why they are not following Quran as far as the message of peace is concerned.

    Al Quran [25:30] The messenger said, "My Lord, my people have deserted this Quran."

    Those Muslims who believe that people of other faiths are disbelievers they should check following verses from Quran.

    AL-Quran [2:62] Surely, those who believe, those who are Jewish, the Christians, and the converts; anyone who (1) believes in GOD, and (2) believes in the Last Day, and (3) leads a righteous life, will receive their recompense from their Lord. They have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.

    AL-Quran [17:53] Tell My servants to treat each other in the best possible manner, for the devil will always try to drive a wedge among them. Surely, the devil is man's most ardent enemy. (GOD does not say that only Muslims are true servants of the Lord).

    AL-Quran [60:8] GOD does not enjoin you from befriending those who do not fight you because of religion, and do not evict you from your homes. You may befriend them and be equitable towards them. GOD loves the equitable. (GOD does say that we should live in peace as friends).

    As I said earlier that Quranic text does not prove that Muslims should kill the blasphemous beings. For those Muslims who want to punish the cartoonist I have this

    Al-Quran [16:126] And if you punish, you shall inflict an equivalent punishment.

    Finally, I know the cartoon you have talked about posted by your friend is repulsive and I even know that it is very old. I have seen it elsewhere may be two three years ago but my guiding light is this verse in Muslim scripture (Al-Quran).

    AL-Quran [28:54] To these we grant twice the reward, because they steadfastly persevere. They counter evil works with good works, and from our provisions to them, they give.

    For me your words are enough. < I would not wish to be the artist when my times were to come to meet God! >. And I know one day that rather than making cartoons they have a bigger responsibility. Responsibility to teach good and use their creativity for the peace rather than war.
