Dear jawaan,
please explain which verse of the koran has given any muslim or non muslim human being to decide whether a certain sect is muslim or nonmuslim?
who exactly are you to decide this?
please explain, and support your explanation from koranic verses.
dear i qadeer:
"I strongly believe that we must have a clear defination as to what really constitutes Islamic beliefs. Also, this must have its roots come out directly from the Quran and traditions of the prophet."
reminds me of the interesting remarks by justice muneer. when he asked your sunni scholars to define what a muslim is, they said, we want some time to make a definition.
justice muneer replied:
" you have already been given 1400 years to get to a definition of muslims. it is not possible for the court to give any more time than that!"
". And according to sunni scholars anyone who believes in the unity of Allah and finality of Mohammad's (peace be upon him) message is technically a "muslim". "
this is a very faulty statment. do u want to know how sunni scholars have defined islam?
Here is how different scholars defined a "muslim", while being questioned by justice muneer, in the 1953 case against ahmadis:
-) maulana abu-ul-hasnaat mohammad ahmed qadri:
" should believe on
(1) oneness of god,
(2) mohammad's prophethood,
(3) accept mohammad as the last prophet,
(4)believes that koran was revealed from allah thru prophet mohammad,
(5) should accept the orders given by prophet mohammad, and
(6) believe in the doomsday."
( maulana sahab has not told us what verses of koran he used to make this definition. also note that he did not mention
(a) beleif in ALL divine books,
(b) beleif in ALL prophets,
(c) beleif in the angels.
- jewels)
-) maulana ahmed ali saheb, ( jamiat ulma-e-islam )
"if someone
(1) believes in the koran
(2) hadith of prophet mohammad
then he is a muslim, even if he does not believe in anything else."
( maulana sahab, have just cleaned off ALL other aspects of islamic faith. -jewels)
-) maulana ( so called )"abu-ul-ala", modoodi:
"the one who believes in
(1) oneness of allah,
(2) believes in ALL prophets,
(3) believes in ALL divine books,
(4) believes in angels, and
(5) believes in the doomsday,
is a muslim."
( note that this definition does not hold ANY valid point to call ahmadis as nonmuslims. -jewels)
question: " is this all enough for being called a muslim?"
reply: "yes!"
question: " if someone believes in all five of these points, does someone have a right to call him a non muslim? "
reply: "no! but anyone who does not accept these five values, is a non muslim"
( note that according to this statment of modoodi, the previous scholars i mentioned, become non muslims!!! -jewels)
-) ghazi siraajuddin:
" the one who says the kalima and follows prophet mohammad is a muslim!"
despite repeatedly being questioned, he said that anyone who does not FOLLOW mohammad in ALL walks of life is a nonmuslim.
-) mufti mohammad idrees ( jamia ashrafiya ):
he, after a long speech said,
" a muslim is the one who believes in all needs of the religion"
when questioned about those needs of religion, he replied, " they are so many, that it is almost impossible for me to tell all of them.
-) maulana ali kandhalwi:
he said that someone who "acts upon the needs of religion in the light of the sayings of prophet mohammad " is a muslim.
( note that he talked not about BELIEVES but about ACTING UPON the believes.)
question: " what are those needs of religion?"
answer: " the needs of religion are those needs which all muslims know, whether or not they are scholars!"
( as if this is all a JOKE! shame for the molvis! -jewels)
question: " please count us all those needs of religion."
answer: " i do not know! i am not capable of counting them all!"
( note what these molvis are saying. and keep in mind that they are the ones who are the CREAM of the anti-ahmadiyya agitation! - jewels)
-) maulana mohammad ahsen islaahi:
" there are two types of muslims
1) true muslims
2) political muslims
political muslims should believe in:
1) oneness of allah,
2) the finality of prophethood
3) all good and bad is from allah
4) the "aakhirat"
5) koran as the last book
6) hajj
7) zakaat
8) namaaz
9) the other laws of islamic society
10) fasting
( maulana sahab has eaten up the belief in angels, or probabaly didnt feel it necessary! - jewels)
question: " do we only have to BELIEVE in them?"
answer " yes, mere BELEIF in them is enough for being a political muslim. those who act upon them are "true muslims".
==========
now you yourself can analyze your statment about what sunni molvis believe! you yourself can realize that no definition of a muslim is possible.
or otherwise, with the definitions given above, each molvi makes all other molvix, non muslims!
we must not foret the hadith that "anyone who calls a kalima-sayer, a kafir, is a kafir himself."
