THE RELIGION OF ISLAM

The first thing that one should know and clearly understand about Islam is what the word “Islam” itself means. The religion of Islam is not named after a person as in the case of Christianity which was named after Jesus Christ, Buddhism after Gotama Buddha, Confucianism after Confucius, and Marxism after Karl Marx. Nor was it named after a tribe like Judaism after the tribe of Judah and Hinduism after the Hindus. Islam is the true religion of “Allah” and as such, its name represents the central principle of Allah’s “God’s” religion; the total submission to the will of Allah “God”. The Arabic word “Islam” means the submission or surrender of one’s will to the only true god worthy of worship “Allah” and anyone who does so is termed a “Muslim”, The word also implies “peace” which is the natural consequence of total submission to the will of Allah. Hence, it was not a new religion brought by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) I in Arabia in the seventh century, but only the true religion of Allah re-expressed in its final form.

Islam is the religion which was given to Adam, the first man and the first prophet of Allah, and it was the religion of all the prophets sent by Allah to mankind. The name of God’s religion lslam was not decided upon by later generations of man. It was chosen by Allah Himself and clearly mentioned in His final revelation to man. In the final book of divine revelation, the Qur’aan, Allah states the following:

“This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion”. (Soorah Al-Maa’idah 5:3)

“If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah (God) never will It be accepted of Him” (Soorah Aal’imraan 3:85)

“Abraham was not a Jew nor Christian; but an upright Muslim.” (Soorah Aal’imraan 3:67)

Nowhere in the Bible will you find Allah saying to Prophet Moses’ people or their descendants that their religion is Judaism, nor to the followers of Christ that their religion is Christianity. In fact, Christ was not even his name, nor was it Jesus! The name “Christ” comes from the Greek word Christos which means the annointed. That is, Christ is a Greek translation of the Hebrew title “Messiah”. The name “Jesus” on the other hand, is a latinized version of the Hebrew name Esau.

For simplicity’s sake, I will however continue to refer to Prophet Esau (PBUH) as Jesus. As for his religion, it was what he called his followers to. Like the prophets before him, he called the people to surrender their will to the will of Allah; (which is Islam) and he warned them to stay away from the false gods of human imagination.

According to the New Testament, he taught his followers to pray as follows: “Yours will be done on earth as it is in Heaven”.

The 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History

The 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History is a 1978 book by Michael H. Hart, reprinted in 1992 with revisions. It is a ranking of the 100 people who, according to Hart, most influenced human history.

The first person on Hart’s list is Muhammad. Hart asserted that Muhammad was “supremely successful” in both the religious and secular realms. He also opined that Muhammad’s role in the development of Islam was far more influential than Jesus’ collaboration in the development of Christianity. He attributes the development of Christianity to St. Paul, who played a pivotal role in its dissemination.

The 1992 revisions included the demotion of figures associated with Communism, such as Vladimir Lenin and Mao Zedong, and the introduction of Mikhail Gorbachev. Hart took sides in the Shakespearean authorship issue and substituted Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford for William Shakespeare. Hart also substituted Niels Bohr and Henri Becquerel with Ernest Rutherford, thus correcting an error in the first edition. Henry Ford was also promoted from the “Honorary Mentions” list, replacing Pablo Picasso. Finally, some of the rankings were re-ordered, although no one listed in the top ten changed position.

Hart wrote another book in 1999, entitled A View from the Year 3000, voiced in the perspective of a person from that future year and ranking the most influential people in history. Roughly half of those entries are fictional people from 2000–3000, but the remainder are actual people. these were taken mostly from the 1992 edition, with some re-ranking of order.

Why Islam does not permit boyfriend-girlfriend relationships

Islam clearly divides members of the opposite sex into mahram (relatives that, by law, you cannot marry) and non-mahram (those who are marriageable). It is haram to mix freely with non-mahram and, therefore, having a relationship before marriage (boyfriend or girlfriend) is strictly forbidden.

There is no such thing as “dating” in Islam. When young Muslims are able to marry, they are encouraged to find a suitable partner for marriage, following strict rules of courtship, and always keeping the intention of marriage at the forefront of any interaction.

Dear “Be My Valentine”

Dear “Be My Valentine”, if you are a non-Muslim, there shouldn’t be a problem for you to celebrate Valentine’s Day. However, if you are a Muslim, you should re-think your action in trying to celebrate a non-Muslim event. Astaghfirullaahal’aziim. Valentine’s Day is only for Christians not for Muslims.

We have our own Muslim events that should be celebrated wisely. If you say that we should celebrate because “it’s a day to celebrate love”, then you should re-think again. In Islam, everyday is to be filled with love. There’s no such thing as a “Love day” because Islam teaches us to love and respect what has been gifted by Allah The Almighty EVRYDAY.

Just like when we love our parents, we love them everyday, not only during Valentines’s Day, or Mother’s day, or Father’s Day. Then what happen to the rest of the calendar days of the year? And in your case, do you love your partner just on Valentine’s Day? What happens after Valentine’s Day?

I’m sure you will still love him/her, right. Again, if you are Muslim, it’s HARAM to celebrate Valentine’s Day because “Valentine” is a name of a Christian’s Priest (or something – not sure) – His name is Saint Valentine.

Therefore, in Islam, there’s no such name as Saint Valentine listed and we should not celebrate his day. We have our own Muslim celebrations that we should be proud of, like the New Year of Hijrah, the Birthday of our beloved Nabi Muhammad Sallallaahu ‘Alaihi Wassalam (PBUH) which is coming very soon, and other Muslim Celebrations.

If we, the Muslims ourselves, don’t celebrate our own Muslim celebrations and who will? I don’t see other religions celebrating our BIG DAYS as grand as we celebrate theirs. Have u seen any? I don’t think so.

Anyway, if you are a Muslim, please think again. When it’s stated it’s HARAM, please do not do it because it will only bring Allah’s fury to you, and Brunei as a country. If you are not a Muslim, then of course, I don’t have any objection for you to do so.

bird is standing by to eat this starving child

The bird is standing by to eat this starving child. This picture was voted as the best the best journalistic photography many years ago. And the photographer later committed suicide because of his emotional breakdown attaching to his own work.

The suicide note he left behind is a litany of nightmares and dark visions, a clutching attempt at autobiography, self-analysis, explanation, excuse. After coming home from New York, he wrote, he was “depressed … without phone … money for rent … money for child support … money for debts … money!!! … I am haunted by the vivid memories of killings & corpses & anger & pain … of starving or wounded children, of trigger-happy madmen, often police, of killer executioners…” And then this: “I have gone to join Ken if I am that lucky.”
