Islam is the Religion of Science and Knowledge

Published

on

When Allah created man and appointed him as his governor on earth, the man was ordered to worship Allah alone. The man was endowed with reason, received the ability to distinguish evil from good, lie from truth, useless from useful. Allah has guided people throughout history by messengers and prophets, who were ordered to share divine wisdom and knowledge with people in order to save people from wandering in the darkness of ignorance. Divine Revelation guides people along the true path. Some may say Islam and science are incompatible but the fact is they are an inseparable part of each other. Obviously seen in the verses of the Holy Quran and the history of the development of Islamic civilization from which many sciences originated.

Islam directives to obtain knowledge

Allah commanded humans to acquire knowledge and arrange their lives on earth. And to remember the Creator’s mercy and the benefits that He gave to everyone. Suffice to say that the first verses of the Holy Quran, which Allah Almighty asked His Messenger (peace be upon him), were:

“Read in the name of your Lord, Who created. Created man from a clot (blood). Read, because your Lord is the most generous. He taught by means of a writing cane - taught a person what he did not know”. “ Surah Al-Alaq ”, Ayat 1 - 5

Science in Islam

In the Muslim world, science has always enjoyed respect and love. The rulers patronized famous theologians, created conditions for the work of talented scientists. Philosophers and thinkers played an important role in the social and political life of Muslim countries, influenced public opinion, and adopted many government decisions. Abu al-Aswad ad-Douali said: “Kings rule over people, and kings are ruled by scientists.”

The Qur’an encourages believers to listen to the scientist’s advice and listen to them when religious and worldly questions arise: 

“If you don’t know, then ask the owners of the Reminder” (Surah 16 “Anahel”, ayat 43). 

Scientists, who comprehend the truth, live according to their knowledge, and teach others, continue the work of God’s messengers who came to this world to instruct and teach people. One of the hadiths says that scientists are the heirs of the prophets, because the prophets did not leave behind a penny, but left knowledge of Allah and His religion.

Muslims believe that communication with scientists and remembering Allah with them allows a person to earn generous rewards and forgiveness. You can learn from righteous scholar’s knowledge and wisdom, experience, and piety because the Qur’an says about them: 

“He gives wisdom to whomever He wishes, and the one who has been given wisdom is rewarded with great blessings” (Sura 2 “Al-Baqara”, ayat 269). 

Therefore, the great Imam Abu Hanifa said: “It is more pleasant for me to listen to the stories of scientists and sit next to them than to study many religious laws because there you can learn the rules of behavior and the mores of people.”

Islam’s Attitude to the Acquisition of Knowledge

With the beginning of the revelation of the Quran in the history of Arabian society, the era of ignorance ended. An era marked by intertribal hostility, a decline in morals, and a lack of interest in science. Islam is against ignorance and Prophet Muhammad clarified the great importance of teaching believers to read and write, and inspired them to acquire and disseminate useful knowledge.  Prophet Mohammed PBUH said:

“The acquisition of knowledge is the duty of every Muslim.” 

Another hadith refers to the following words of the Prophet:

“To whom Allah desires well, He gives knowledge about religion.”

The pursuit of knowledge is an inherent feature of true believers, since any virtue is to some extent related to knowledge, and any vice is related to ignorance. Prophet Muhammed PBUH said:

“The dignity of knowledge is higher than the dignity of worship, and religion is based on piety.”

The Umayyad caliph and eminent son Umar bin Abd-al-Aziz said: “He who does deeds without knowledge, does more harm than good”.

The Qur’an obliges Muslims to acquire knowledge solely for the sake of faith, and not for the sake of wealth, fame, or position in society. THE PROPHET SAID:

“Do not acquire knowledge in order to be proud of it in front of scientists, to argue with fools, or to be at the head of meetings. and Hell is Hell! – awaits those who do so”.

Islam’s relationship to the social sciences

The Holy Quran calls for the study of not only the phenomena and creatures that a person observes and sees with his physical eyes but the history of ancient peoples, their standard of living, culture, everyday life, as well as the instructive history of their death due to devotion to vicious desires.

The religion of Islam, in essence, calls for studying the experience of previous generations. And following the faithful and good and avoiding past mistakes, that is, history, sociology.

In the Holy Quran, the Almighty says:

“Did they not wander the earth and see what was the outcome of those who came before them? Were stronger by their power, cultivated the land, and ennobled it more than ennobled it (these). And their messengers came to them with clear signs. And the Lord was not unjust with them, but (they) were unjust to themselves! "

As we can see, the verse calls for the study of life, development, decline, and death of past peoples. Isn’t this a call to the study of history and sociology? This is a clear and firm indication for both contemporaries and future generations.

Conclusion

Muslims’ respect for givers can’t be compared to the respect one gain through wealth or position in society. It is based on the recognition of their high position before Allah and does not stop even after their death. Ibn al-Muqaffa said:

“If you are respected for money or power, then do not rejoice, because respect will end when you lose money and power. But rejoice if you are respected for knowledge or piety.”

There are many statements by Muslim thinkers that the study of the sciences is superior to the practice of additional religious practices. A glorious companion of Abu Hureyr said: “It is more pleasant for me to spend an hour studying religion than to stand in prayer all night until morning.” An expert in hadiths Mutarrif bin Abdallah said: “It is more pleasant for me to acquire knowledge than to simply worship Allah, and it is more pleasant for me to be healthy and thank Allah than to go through a trial and be patient.” A well-known hadith says that the superiority of a scientist over one who worships Allah without knowledge is like the superiority of the full moon over the stars.

The Prophet Mohammed PBUH clarified that the acquisition of knowledge is not the responsibility of scientists or students alone. Everyone can acquire and pass on to another piece of useful knowledge. Thereby earning the pleasure of Allah and His reward. The hadith says:

“May Allah illuminates the one who hears my words, remembers them, and passes them on to others. and it may happen that the bearer of knowledge does not understand religion, but will pass them on to the one who understands religion better than him.”

To the peoples of the world: Israel is Carrying out a holocaust against Palestinian families

Published

on

Israel is carrying out a holocaust against Palestinian families.

Yes, Israel is not sending Palestinians to gas chambers. But Israel is bringing Auschwitz and Mauthhausen to Palestinian homes, neighborhood, hospitals and mosques.

The title of this brief article is not a hyperbole or a dramatic overstatement meant to attract attention or gain sympathy. It is rather a reflection of reality.

Indeed, if a holocaust is about annihilating people, especially civilians and Palestinian families, the Israeli army, the Wehrmacht of our time, has been exterminating entire Palestinian families-the father, the mother and all the children.

We are not speaking about one isolated incident or a few incidents where one stray missile hit a home inadvertently or children killed as a result of collateral damage.

We are rather talking about carrying out a real holocaust against Palestinian families, an official policy endorsed and pursued by the government of Israel to wipe out numerous Palestinian households for the purpose of bringing the Palestinians to their knees.

This is Israel’s way of wreaking shock and awe on the defenseless and helpless Palestinians.

So far, more than 25 thousand entire Gaza households have been targeted by Israeli bombing. More than 12 thousands have been killed half of them are children and women.

Just imagine your own family being annihilated by a missile launched from high altitude. This nightmare has effectively become a routine experience in Gaza.

Israel today is emulating the Nazis and other criminal offenders throughout history. Don’t invoke the mantra of anti-Semitism. In the final analysis, when Jews think, behave and act like the Nazis thought, behaved and acted, they (the Jews) become Nazis themselves, pure and simple.

Yes, I do recognize there are many kind-hearted Jews who reject this Nazi-like savagery. None the less, we must call the spade a spade. These atrocities are being enthusiastically supported by the vast majority of Israelis, including ordinary people, intellectuals and rabbis. Israel-2023 does have much in common with Nazi-Germany. Claiming otherwise would be both dishonest and malicious.

Real holocaust

Israel, a notorious professional liar whose agents control western media outlets from Sydney to California, is misleading the international community as to what is really happening in the Gaza Strip.

A regional military superpower thanks to unrestricted American backing and support, Israel is simply waging a war of extermination against a thoroughly persecuted people whose only “crime” is its enduring vigor and longing for freedom from the shackles of Talmudic Jewish Nazism, a Satanic ideology which views all humanity-save Jews-as animals whose lives have absolutely no sanctity.

There is no doubt that the ongoing Israeli rampage of murder and terror is an expression of that genocidal Talmudic mentality. It is a mindset that is even more nefarious than the Nazi ideology.

We Palestinians have been at the receiving end of Jewish criminality and murderousness for several decades. We know it too well and need no one to give us lectures on “Israel’s civility and humanity”

In the final analysis, a country that murders thousands of children and other innocent civilians rather knowingly and deliberately in order to create deterrence is neither civilized nor humane. It is tantamount to fornicating with truth to call Israel humane and civilized.

The truth of the matter is that Israel is a diabolical Judeo-Nazi entity that has much in common with the Third Rich.

Yes, Israel is not sending Palestinians to gas chambers. But Israel is bringing Auschwitz to Palestinian homes, neighborhoods and streets. Israel is carrying out a real holocaust against innocent Palestinian families.

This is not really a war. War is fought between armies. The Palestinians don’t have an army, or navy or air force. The Palestinians simply can not protect their own children from overwhelming barbarianism, played out in full view of the entire world.

Yes, there have been projectiles fired on Jewish colonies from the Gaza Strip, but these projectiles are essentially innocuous from the military view point as evident from the nearly zero casualties incurred by Israelis.

Indeed, when there is one dead on one side and 300 on the other side, including 50 children and babies, in addition thousands of maimed civilians and swathes of pornographic destruction of property, we are not really talking about war, even an asymmetrical war. We are actually talking about a real massacre, a massacre that is reminiscent of the time when the Nazis ganged up on European Jewry 70 years ago.

This very real massacre, holocaust, wouldn’t have been carried out had it not been for the flaccidity and leniency and silence displayed in Israel’s face by the bulk of the international community.

This is not to mention the connivance, collusion and conspiratorial roles played by several criminal states and governments, including the United States, a majority of European governments and especially the whore-like Sissi regime in Cairo which is shamelessly and brazenly siding with Israel against the Palestinian people.

But never mind, another massacre, another blitzkrieg, another conspiracy won’t finish our people off. It is our kismet that we must die in order to survive.

But those in Washington and London and Cairo who are watching rather passively, probably gleefully, as our children are being incinerated and murdered at the hands of the children, grand children and great-grand children of the holocaust, will one day pay the price for their murderous complicity and ignominy.

We will not forgive or forget.

Israel: A criminal state par excellance

Israel: a criminal state par excellance

In its exaggerated self-infatuation and excessive narcissism, Israel, a criminal state par excellence, often claims it is light upon mankind.

Zionist Jews, who falsely claim allegiance to the prophetic traditions of ancient Israel, are actually mostly atheists.

In fact, Zionism has more in common with the most infamous paragons of evil throughout history than with such Hebrew luminaries as the Prophet Moses, Aaron, Jacob, Joseph, David, and Solomon.

Indeed, ever since its misbegotten birth in 1948, a birth fraught with crimes against humanity, Israel’s modus operandi has been an uninterrupted series of atrocities, oppression, persecution, inequity, and racism.

Thus, Israel, A criminal state par excellence, is also a great falsifier of truth, history by claiming a higher moral ground vis-à-vis the Palestinians, its largely-unwept victims who are still crying to the seventh heaven for justice.

Israel is already starving and tormenting 1.6 million Gazans, denying them food, clean water, and other necessities of life. The 17-year draconian siege is apparently meant to punish Gazans for electing Hamas which simply refuses to recognize Israel for religious and moral reasons. The international community  sought to overlook Israel’s  real crimes against humanity inflicted repeatedly  on  some two million helpless Palestinians languishing under a N-a-z-i-like siege imposed and maintained by Israel.

Israel portrays herself as a beacon of light in a sea of dictatorship, tyranny, and oppression,

What Israel, a criminal state par Excellance, refuses to tell the world, however, is the fact that the Jewish state through its ubiquitous tentacles in America, Europe and elsewhere to enable, shield, sustain, and support tyrannical regimes in the region such as the Sissi police state in Egypt, the feudal regimes in Saudi Arabia, UAE and Bahrain.

Israel, a notorious professional liar whose agents control western media outlets from Sydney to California, is misleading the international community as to what is really happening in Jerusalem and in the Gaza Strip.

Israel, ruled by supremacist and megalomaniac Jews who think that no country or entity under the sun has a right to criticize Israel’s appalling maltreatment of the Palestinians, believes it has an unending free season on its victims.

Those are the Nazi-minded ideologues who are indoctrinated in Talmudic Jewish supremacy and who believe that the non-Jews lives have no sanctity , those are the Talmudic thugs who believe that the Palestinians must either be expelled or massacred .

As to its victims, Israel seeks always to demonize and dehumanize them so that the world will react indifferently if not callously when Israel murders them, expels them from their homes, steals their land and property as well as demolish their homes, a nearly daily callous practice the state of the Jews carries out in the West Bank.

Israel was born in sin. It will always be a sinful state, no matter what we read in the New York Times and the Washington Post or what we see on CNN and Fox News.

World passively watching as Israel perpetrates open-ended massacre in Gaza

Published

on

The Israeli army, which can be called the Jewish Wehrmacht given its Nazi-like behavior, continues to pound the Gaza Strip from ground, sea and air. According to sources in Gaza, virtually all targets hit so far are civilians.

As many as 3500 Palestinians, virtually all of them civilians, have been reported killed so far. Thousands others were injured, many sustaining life-threatening wounds.

The scenes of mutilated and maimed children, some of whose bodies are seen protruding through the rubble of their homes, destroyed by missiles fired by American-supplied F-16 fighter jets, seem to verify the view that Israel is targeting Palestinian civilians in Gaza knowingly and deliberately.

Israeli leaders and military officials are openly gloating over the high death toll among Palestinian civilians. They blame Hamas for the orgy of killing. However, virtually all Palestinians don’t buy the Israeli logice.

As we all know, this is not the first time Israel indulges in such war crimes.

Israel has always been a regular perpetrator of war crimes . Indeed, one would exaggerate very little by arguing that Israel itself is a war crime or a crime against humanity.

I am not going to spend time refuting Israeli hasbara lies, blaming Hamas for the latest conflagration. Having been a vigilant observer of Israeli behavior for several decade , I can honestly argue that honesty and Israel can not really be used in the same sentence. Israel and honesty are an eternal oxymoron.

As always, Israel violated the uneasy truce reached through Egyptian mediation in 2002. Israeli leaders, proceeding from the Talmudic ideology which views all non-Jews as lesser human beings or virtual animals, don’t feel bound by agreements or treaties reached with “Goyem.

People in the west, long duped and brainwashed by Zionist propaganda, may raise they eyebrows when reading these words. But we who live with these Judeo-Nazis and have been at the receiving end of their murderousness and evilness know better.

We don’t need and won’t accept lectures about the “humanity and civility” of the N-a-z-i-s of our time.

Hamas and other Palestinian resistance groups in Gaza don’t constitute an existential threat to Israel, which has one of the strongest military machines in the world.

In fact, the claim that Gaza is threatening Israel is infinitely ridiculous. The thoroughly-starved and hermetically blockaded Gazans have a hard time feeding their children, let alone pose any meaningful threat to the N-a-z-i Germany of our time, a pugnacious state that more or less tightly controls the most powerful country under the sun, the United States.

It is sad and lamentable that a country of 320 million has allowed itself to be enslaved by Zionist pressure groups, hell-bent on prostituting America and eviscerating it of any semblance of morality for Israel’s sake.

Palestinians have resist Jewish terror

But the Palestinians can not take their very survival for granted. They can’t rely on the so-called international community to shield them against Jewish N-a-z-i-s-m.

Indeed, if the Palestinians don’t defend themselves, who is going to defend them? Obama? Merkel? Or Puten?

Hence, the valiant Palestinian determination to put up a semblance of resistance to the Jewish Wehrmacht. The Israeli assault on Gaza is not an assault on Hamas; It is rather a nefarious aggression against the entire Palestinian people. It is intended to break our people’s will to resist Israeli Nazism. Pure and simple.

To put the matter in a nutshell, the Palestinians in Gaza are simply defending themselves against an overwhelming evil force that is hell bent on ethnically cleansing them and stealing their motherland. Our fighters don’t fire their home-made missiles on Israel because they want to spill Jewish blood. They do it because this is the only means they possess to deter a cannibalistic enemy that can only feel good if and when it spills Palestinian blood.

Besides, the problem with Israel didn’t begin last week or last year.

Just remember that many of the people being now bombarded and murdered by the Jewish Wehrmacht are actually children, grand children and great grand children of the original Palestinian refugees that Israel massacred or brutally expelled out of their homes when the evil state was created in Palestine in 1948.

Hence, the Palestinians in Gaza can not really be terrorists if only because they were never the initiator of violence and terror. The Palestinians were living peaceably in their towns and villages, mostly leading a simple pastoral life until waves of Khazari Jews, who had no real connection with the ancient Israelites, invaded Palestine with the aid of Western countries, especially the evil empire, the United Kingdome.

Yes, it was Britain that put the venomous Jewish snake in the bed of the Palestinian child. Britain, as Noam Chomsky wisely said, can not claim innocence or argue that it didn’t know the snake was so poisonous.

Gaza Massacre: Surviving by dying

Today, Palestinians are sacrificing their lives for their freedom, dignity and survival. This is what they have always been doing from time immemorial. We are very much children of martyrs who were themselves children of martyrs. We survived despite a harsh history of plots and conspiracies that aimed to eradicate us as a people from the face of earth.

We in Gaza will survive the latest Israeli blitz as well

However, the world community ought to feel ashamed for watching the Nazi Germany of our time gang up on a defenseless people in Gaza whose only crime is that it is not part of “the holy tribe,”

This conspicuously immoral world , which doesn’t respect any modicum of respect, will surely have a precarious future. It will face ultimate demise.
