Why do muslims hurt one another?
Re: Muslim Behavior
because they do not follow their Book and do not follow their prophet.
we call each other with names and spy on each other without realising Allah's clear warnings in Surah Al hujurat.
Re: Muslim Behavior
- call each other names
- spy on each other
oh comon, the list must be longer.
Re: Muslim Behavior
calling mulsim men as pigs
and calling one who tries to reason with the BOOK and Sunnah as Mullah
and the list goes on.
Re: Muslim Behavior
Someone who tries to counter-reason also with the Quran and the Sunnah is now being "hurtful"?
If one doesn't have the balls to debate, then they should step aside. Debates are not kiddy-play.
Lets add to this list, shall we, instead of derailing the topic, as I fear will happen given the insinuations. This is not, and will not, be a topic on sunnah vs. hadith vs. Quran.
- human trafficking - quite rampant in muslim Asian countries. Anyone see tonite's lifetime movie?
Re: Muslim Behavior
49:6 O ye who believe! If a wicked person comes to you with any news, ascertain the truth, lest ye harm people unwittingly, and afterwards become full of repentance for what ye have done.
49:7 And know that among you is Allah’s Messenger; were he, in many matters, to follow your (wishes), ye would certainly fall into misfortune. But Allah has endeared the Faith to you, and has made it beautiful in your hearts, and He has made hateful to you Unbelief, wickedness, and rebellion; such indeed are those who walk in righteousness;-
49:8 A Grace and Favour from Allah. and Allah is full of Knowledge and Wisdom.
49:9 If two parties among the Believers fall into a quarrel, make ye peace between them: but if one of them transgresses beyond bounds against the other then fight ye (all) against the one that transgresses until it complies with the command of Allah; but if it complies then make peace between them with justice and be fair: for Allah loves those who are fair (and just).
49:10 The Believers are but a single Brotherhood: So make peace and reconciliation between your two (contending) brothers; and fear Allah, that ye may receive Mercy.
49:11 O ye who believe! Let not some men among you laugh at others: It may be that the (latter) are better than the (former): Nor let some women laugh at others: It may be that the (latter are better than the (former): Nor defame nor be sarcastic to each other, nor call each other by (offensive) nicknames: Ill-seeming is a name connoting wickedness, (to be used of one) after he has believed: And those who do not desist are (indeed) doing wrong.
49:12 O ye who believe! Avoid suspicion as much (as possible): for suspicion in some cases is a sin: And spy not on each other behind their backs. Would any of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? Nay, ye would abhor it…But fear Allah. For Allah is Oft-Returning, Most Merciful.
49:13 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).
Re: Muslim Behavior
^ And wat does human traffiking have to do with Islam...
Okay didn't that movie have to do with eastern european countries? No doubt it goes on in pak and india et al.. but those people who partake in such stuff are sick ba$tards.... they dont' deserve to be called Muslims, period...
Re: Muslim Behavior
because instead of reading Quran and Hadith, we wish to learn from weekend lifetime movies....
Re: Muslim Behavior
PCG, please elaborate a little on your initial post. You did mention human traficking. Is there anything else that you've had in mind?
Personally, I think many of us (foremost myself) have put aside the teachings of Islam or don't seem to pay much heed to it. Harming both Muslims and non-Muslims without any justified reason is not something appreciated or valid.
Re: Muslim Behavior
Because first and foremost they are Human....
Re: Muslim Behavior
^^^thats what they said a thousand years ago
and a million times before and since
Re: Muslim Behavior
we have been divided into boundaries,sects and races....
even a single nation is divided into "extremists" and "roshan khayal"...the only way to success is t follow islam and we should be unite...
Re: Muslim Behavior
Which version shall we all unite behind?
Re: Muslim Behavior
Sadiyah: The topic is as stated. Why do we hurt one another? Human trafficking is just one example that came to my mind, and its not the motive behind this thread. I just saw the movie last night on Lifetime, so it popped up as an example.
Re: Muslim Behavior
but isnt this topic under the RELIGION forum ?
Re: Muslim Behavior
Um, so? Religion forum has various topics and one is welcome to open a thread on sunnah vs. hadith vs. Quran. This thread topic has nothing to do with debating sunnah vs. hadith vs. Quran. I think that's quite self-evident by the initial post's question.
To make it simpler for those more dense, this topic is on the behavior of muslims, which may/may not correspond to theoretical/normatic teachings.
Re: Muslim Behavior
Lack of Islamic education and knowledge. Therefore, many of us don't know what's right and what's wrong.
- We've put aside Quranic teachings and don't seem to care about fixing our dunya or akhirah.
- Like lazy_daisy said, we're humans first and many of us could simply be bad natured and Islamic teachings don't have much affect on us.
Re: Muslim Behavior
Or is it that Islamic didactic methods emphasize the theoretical but not as much the practical?
For example, you might go to your Islamic class and learn a lot about muslims believe in x, y, and z. But there is minimal instruction and projects oriented towards the application of beliefs into action (ex. charity, adaab, etc).
Like your teacher might teach you : "In Islam, the proper adab is to be unmaterialistic and charitable"....
rather than thru an activity : "Organize yourselves into groups and conduct one charity operation of your choice".
?
Re: Muslim Behavior
I beg to differ. Although lack of knowledge is a factor but remember people do know things and yet they tend to ignore. We should pray that may ALLAH:swt: do not make us among the ignorants who do not have faith in hereafter the way we should have faith.
People do know that Offensive nick naming is prohibitted but they still do it.
People do know that accussing of someone with something which is not true is prohibitted strictly and they have only speculations about it, but they still do it.
People know that resorting to sarcastic pointers towards other and make fun of them is a cause of hurting them yet people do it.
All because of ONE reason: Lack of Imaan.
may ALLAH:swt: increase our Imaan. Aameen
