Re: ismaili/aga khani
Hello to all, Salam to all, Ya Ali Madad to all, whatever religion culture you may be, Hello.
Let me start off by saying, please read what I have to say with great importance.
You know guys, this fighting and arguments and debates have been going on for years, on forums like this, in real life etc.. We must put an end to this, debates I can understand, which are good infact, but insulting and all that kind of stuff must come to an end Inshallah. let us look at the Essence of the Quran for example. Take this Verse, this Verse crealy shows us All, that we must get along and not fight. In the end, we are all born into different faiths and religions for a Reason, and no one has the Authority but Allah to judge on matters of faith as to whos right and wrong. Please read the following Quran Verse:
"O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise (each other). Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things)." (Surah 49:13).
In the end, it is those who are Most Righteous of you, not ones who do bad deeds, or insult others so on and so forth. This beautiful Verse also tells us that we must work together despite our differences, and on the contrary work togther and grow from them. Not to despise eachother saying, that community is fake, and we are on the right path etc..
This is how many wars were caused in the earlier centuries, as a reult of this. Let us look at the real meaning of the Islam, and grab its essence. Allah is MOST KIND, do you realistically think that he likes people to fight and cause wars, especially in the name of religion? He created all of us in his vision.
So lets try our best and put aside our difference and work together, that also means working with the West. We can All learn from eachother. Heres some more Verses in relation to this topic to look at:
(109:2) I worship not that which ye worship"
(109:3) Nor will ye worship that which I worship."
(109:4 )And I will not worship that which ye have been wont to worship"
(109:5) Nor will ye worship that which I worship"
(109:6) To you be your Way, and to me mine"
However, those that do insult people and cause hatred in religion and go around calling other sects Kafirs, we must forgive them. Heres the following verse pertaining to that:
(Surah 5:13) "But because of their breach of their covenant, We cursed them, and made their hearts grow hard; they change the words from their (right) places and forget a good part of the Message that was sent them, nor wilt thou cease to find them- barring a few - ever bent on (new) deceits: but forgive them, and overlook (their misdeeds): for Allah loveth those who are kind"
So people, these are not my words, these are the words of the Almighty.
If you have any furthur questions, and/or explaining, please feel free to ask.
Take care.
