Islam’s Response to Extremism: In the words of Khalifa of Islam

Review of Religions: The actions of extremists contradict The Teachings of Islam “… under no circumstances can murder ever be justified and those who seek to justify their hateful acts in the name of Islam are serving only to defame it in the worst possible way.” (Press Release in the aftermath ofthe Paris attacks, 14 November 2015) “In much of the world today there is a belief or perception that Islam is a religion of extremism and force. Let me say at the outset that this is entirely wrong and the reality is the complete opposite… The truth is that there are some selfish Muslims who seek only to serve their own personal interests. To feed their own ambitions and desires they are interpreting Islam’s teachings in completely the wrong way and therefore have enabled various unfounded allegations to be levelled against Islam. Their acts unfairly tarnish Islam’s pure name.” (Keynote address in Singapore, 26 September 2013) “If a person does not follow a particular teaching properly whilst claiming to subscribe to it, then it is he who is in error, not the teaching. From cover to cover, the Holy Qur’an teaches love, affection, peace, reconciliation and the spirit of sacrifice. Hence, if anybody portrays Islam as an extreme and violent religion filled with teachings of bloodshed, then such a portrayal has no link with the real Islam.” (Message to Pope Benedict XVI, 6 December 2011)

  1. ===“In much of the world today there is a belief or perception that Islam is a religion of extremism and force. Let me say at the outset that this is entirely wrong and the reality is the complete opposite===

    ==== Most Muslim Scholars say that===>ISIS, Al Qaida, Taliban Bako Haram etc who kill innocent people are not Islam===

    From my view, they are not honest Muslim. They do not tell the truth.

    Actually, they are Muslim and they are implementing the ancient Islamic laws through the book of Al Quran and Hadith.

    I give you some examples;

    Terroriist Muslim are IMPLEMENTING the ancient Islamic Shariah such as; the system of Caliphate QS 2;30, Women slavery QS,23;4-6, Women have to cover whole her body with cloth. QS.33:59., A wife do not have a right to reject if her husband want to have sex QS.4:34, be heading, be crucified, or their hands and legs be cut off from different sides,QS 5:33,who commits theft, cut off the hands of both QS 5;38,The fornicating woman and the fornicating man, flog each one of them with one hundred stripes.QS 24;2-3.
    The execution of sentence is conducted at front of public.

    From the book of Hadith;
    Terrorist Muslim kill apostate, blasphemy, gay and lesbian.
    Women are forbidden to hold a position in Government, Voting,–forbidden to seat side by side with man, forbidden to go out side without a man, women are forbidden to sing a song at public, women are forbidden to drive a car etc.etc.

    CALIPHATE
    Rasulullah SAW in the unity of this issue said: “He came to you – being business ( life ) you are under the leadership of one person ( Imam / Caliph ) – and he wanted to divide the unity of you and your congregation scatters , then kill he ! ” [ HR . Muslim ] .
    Rasulullah SAW said : ” If two people inducted Caliph , then kill the last of the leader, HR Muslim

    Those who follow Caliphate (ISIS) when they die will go to Heaven. Those who does not follow the Caliphate is considered enemy of God, should be punished.

    The book of Hadith is not the word of Allah but the word of men (ancient men ).

    As long as Muslim scholars from many sects do not dare to reform the book of Hadith, I strong believe that the extremist non Muslim still accuse that Islam is not peaceful religion.

    I urge Muslim scholars around the world to tell the truth and to reform Islamic teaching;
    1. reform the ancient interpretation of Islam
    2. Reform and abolish all violent Hadith from the book of Hadith,

    May Allah guide Muslim Scholars from many sects of Islam to the right path of Islam,ameen

    With my love

  2. Ali hidayah, when you say that ‘the book of hadith should be reformed’, what do you mean? Do you mean that some portions of the hadiths should be deleted or left in tact for historical purpose but with no importance attached to them?
    If the objective is the first segment of the question, then that will be fraudulent because it will deprive the world knowledge of the life of Muhammad.

  3. Namelee—-NO! THE HADITHS MUST BE LEFT INTACT. IT SHOULD NOT BE VIOLATED IN ANY WAY.

    Most Muslim Scholars of many sects of Islam believe in the book of Hadith as holy Book beside Holy Al Quran–and they say just like you said above.

    As long as Muslim scholars think that the book of Hadith can not be corrected, we can see peaceful society in this world as we see today—Terrorist kill innocent people, Muslim and non Muslim alike.

    Al quran the word of God, teach people to love each other, tolerance with differences, forgive some one make mistake, justice for all people, equality and freedom of religion and expression.

    Conversely, The book of Hadith command Muslim to kill innocent people such as; gay-lesbian, apostate, Blaspheme, and infidel etc etc–as we see in Paris, California, 11/9 etc etc.

    Why do you suggest NOT reform or correct it?
    it means to me that you agree extremist kill innocent people in the name Prophet or Islam etc .

    Can you respond that please?

    Those Muslim who reject to reform the book of Hadith, and say Islam is a peaceful religion–absolutely confused and absurd.

    With my love
