Not true

There are many attract to Islam

Forexample, there is post on forum
Which about girl fall in love with muslim

And she mentioned that Muslim is perfect

And she mentioned islamic law that he follow

Forexample, every time he met her, he take
With him his causion

This about islam rule not to sit with
Women alone


I did also read women convert to islam
Because man lower his eyes when she passed

It is also about law

Quran ;
Tell the believing men to reduce [some] of their vision


Some means you can enjoy nature and it
Doesn't mean you should lower eyes as long as you live


Not allowed in islam staring women



Culture is made by human
While Islam is Law of Creator

Don't even try it .
 
Islam is a way of life , Meaning they  live it 365 days a years 24/ 7 , Un-like christianity who only live it one day aweek which is Sunday , When they go to church , And their God , is not their because he is resting .
 
The Book of  1 Genesis 2 ; 2 , And On The Seventh Day God Ended His Work Which He Had Made , And He ( Rested  ) From All His Work Which God Created And Made . < King James Version ( Hebrew -Gree k ) Keyword Study Bible .
 
If the Christian God is Resting / Sleeping on Sunday the 7th day , according to their own Scriptures / Bible , Then who are the Christians really worshipping .
 
I'll tell you who , Reverend's , Minister's , Pastor's , Thats who , For these people cliam to speak for God , While he Resting / Sleeping Sunday morning .
One doesn't go to school let His / her's mind to die , They go to school so that their mind will come alive .

Greetings Al Saadiqeen,

If you will listen I will add a little to your education.

'and on the 7th day God rested' - is the way of saying that God ceased to create... He was finished creating.  It means an end to His work.

and we are to do the same... to cease from work for one day in remembrance of the Creator.

A true Christian strives to observe and worship God with every day and action of his life... 'praying unceasingly for this is what is right'. 

14 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.

15 See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.

16 Rejoice evermore.

17 Pray without ceasing.

18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.


There is no doubt that the Creator does not hold in high esteem those that only go to their places of worship, on their day of worship, and forget Him, and forget to live in His ways, the rest of the week.

asalaam,
Caringheart

So anyway, just so I don't forget altogether I thought I would at least post the question that is in my mind.
 
Islam, is it a culture or is it a religion?  (or a regime?... I feel I have to ask that too)
 
The reason this question comes to my mind is because when I think of the people who are joining Islam... I believe it is the culture that attracts them.  I believe the Muslim people live in a way that has been missing in the world ever since the 1960's, and the drifting away from strongly held values, that we have seen change and alter the world, and not in good ways.  I believe we are seeing the bad fruits of drifting away from those values, while the Muslims, which came later, are still holding to those values.  I think we see something in them that we miss in our own society.
 
But I do not think the religion and the culture are one and the same.
I see a great deal of confusion in the religion, though the culture is attractive.
And though the culture is attractive, because the religion is not clear, it can also be dangerous.
 
I don't know if that really says what I am trying to express, but I gave it a shot.  I may add or change later.
 
But I would love any feedback.

I totally agree. A good example is Sicily in Italy. Plenty of honor killings there.

Yes, and this is why two things are so important1) We need to understand the historical context of when this was written2) We need to make sure that religions have the capability to evolveIn Qur'an 4:24 we read:"Also forbidden are women already married, except slave girls (those whom your right hands possess). Thus has Allah ordained for you. All others are lawful, provided you seek them from your property, desiring chastity, not fornication. So with those among them whom you have enjoyed, give them their required due, but if you agree mutually after the requirement has been determined, there is no sin on you."Like Christianity, the understanding of Islam has evolved and I can't think of an Islamic scholar who promotes slavery. In the 7th century slavery was part of the culture, but it is no longer in the 21st century. Slavery is wrong. For the same reason, the death penalty for adulterers is wrong. Leviticus 20:10 isn't applied anymore.Btw, I'm a secular German Protestant.


Matt,
religion is not a human that evolves LOL! so to speak.
What is declared lawful (halal)by God no one can change it to be unlawful (haram). Same way if something is declared unlawful (Haram) with time or area it can never become lawful (Halal), at least that is the case in Islam.
So I do not know how evolution plays that well as you try it to?
I you saying it was OK and lawful what the Catholic Church and Popes did inquisition period that lasted many centuries. Was that part of evolution of Catholicism?
Hasan
 
Indeed Matthias Breun would like to 'modernise' Islam like how they have 'modernised' Christianity. What they fail to understand is that what was revealed in the 7th century is relevant today. Similarly what was revealed to Prophet Musa (Alayhi Salaam) is relevant today. What Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala reveals to mankind is for all time not just for the century it was revealed in. His words will never change, only men try to change it.

The friends of God will certainly have nothing to fear, nor will they be grieved. Al Quran 10:62
