To all the wise religious people of GS

[shaasavera]

Ramadan Mubarak to all of you.

I was thinking that lot of discussions people seem to be divided into 2 groups- the religious and secular. But actually many fall somewhere in between and some don’t even fall anywhere. Actually, many times we share lot of common values and appreciate similar things.

So this thread is about posting positive and appreciative comments about Islam by those who are secular/non religous on GS and if other words are said by known figures/celebrities of non-religious/non muslim/secular background. Also members can write positive things as there has not been a platform for this before so i decided to make a thread for it.
I just request there to be no name calling or labelling by either side from past threads. I am hoping this to be a positive thread. It’s easy to see only the differences but to miss the positive comments. Often i’ve read here that outsiders do not always appreciate or have negative image. This is not always true.

So here is my collection. If any members have objections to me posting quotes let me know. These are all on public forums anyway. Not cutting or editing comments but highlighting the parts which are positive.

The eyes of a truly pious musilm are soft. And kind. There is an aura about that person. An inner peace that radiates outward.

*There are many positive things about Islam which I acknowledge but there has never been a discussion of sort on this forum. I like the concept of cleanliness, truthfulness, discouraging of backbiting, brotherhood, simplicity, helping the needy, rights of orphans, and many many more. NO religion is purely evil or purely perfect in my opinion. each has its positives and negatives. I am not saying or even think Islam is only negative and nothing positive. yes islam has many positive things too, and I also know that majority of muslims are not evil. *I see good and bad both in Islam as i do with most other religions. I dont know every single thing about islam so thats why I sometimes post questions which I donot have clear cut answers to. I dont care to prove my self right on this issue at all. I fully accept and respect that everyone will have their own view on religion.

This reminds me of a thread I opened abt two years ago. On one Saida aunty, the oifus neighbor when she was a child. Oifu would go to her house for Biryani and other delicacies! She was apparently an equal opportunity food thief.

Beggars would come to Sajda Aunty’s house daily. And they would get served in the SAME utensils that house members used.

Any religion that teaches that is awesome

There are probably more but this is all i found recently.

The following are videos of non muslims

During the Quran controversy of a few years back involving a pastor..a Bangladeshi non Muslim by name of Nakul Kumar Biswasang this song.

There are a few other parts to this speech

Bhushan Kumar Upadhyay -Part 2 About Islam (Commissioner of Police Sholapur India) - YouTube

I think there are probably others from people of Christian, Jewish, Sikh background but the above are just some i came across.

PS. Following STONECOLD advice..submission to peace/Psyah

Now this is a song but i find the words poetic. Not aware of the rules of posting songs here. if it is not appropriate please feel free to delete

I also like the song from My name is Khan called Noor-e-Khuda and the overall message of the movie..which showed a strong message against prejudice that many Muslims face abroad.

You cannot open a thread as such and not include a mention of "submission to peace" or "Pysah".... Just saying :)
