Hi Rama..!

Muslim's Holy Book Quran says: (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 God is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And God has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things).

Islam is Universal. The message was sent to the whole mankind.
There's no specific 'culture' the way you're asking.There are no 'culture codes' or 'dress-codes'.There are only 'conduct- codes' to be a righteous Muslim.

Hope it answers 'all' of your queries.

Peace!

Then Why the Muslims offer prayer facing Mecca Tomb?
If God is every where why all the Muslims are rushing to Mecca on a Particular day like Hindus and Christians. Why they imagine satan and throw stones at a pillar thinking that satan lives in that stone???

OK when the maximum Muslims visit Dargas, the Burial Place of Human/ priest they offer prayer and they pull chariat in South India like Hindus. On Milad nabhi day they take processions beating them selves as sacrifice. The Hindus do Fire walking.

So what is the difference between a Hindu and Muslim as they follow the same kind of worship???

Ramachandran

Broher Ramachandran ! You are absolutely justified in your questions.

Ka'ba-the Cube is situated in Mecca. It was first built by prophet Abrahim a.s. under God's command, then after a long time was renovated by prophet Muhammad s.a.w.because of the same purpose. It symbolizes the 'Universal Peace Place'. Muslims are directed to face Kaba for all prayers for the sake of unity and equity ONLY ,since Kaba does not have any Idol inside.They pray to Allah -the God one and ONLY...OUR GOD, OUR CREATOR!
Quran says;
2:177] Righteousness is not turning your faces towards the EAST or the WEST. Righteous are those who believe in GOD, the Last Day, the angels, the scripture, and the prophets; and they give the money, cheerfully, to the relatives, the orphans, the needy, the traveling alien, the beggars, and to free the slaves; and they observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) and give the obligatory charity (Zakat); and they keep their word whenever they make a promise; and they steadfastly persevere in the face of persecution, hardship, and war. These are the truthful; these are the righteous.

Muslims are required to do Hajj ,the piligrimage, once in life time, only, and only if they can afford it.The rituals at Hajj symbolizes different incidents, can't go in detail , but all of them are the reminders of the struggle of Prophet Abrahim a.s. and his family's struggle there.
Satans are the places where he was offended by Satan and he fought back.

Why Abrahim?
because Islam is the same religion enjoined upon Abrahim and the Mesengers after him.
Quran says;

22:78And strive in His cause as ye ought to strive, (with sincerity and under discipline). He has chosen you, and has imposed no difficulties on you in religion; it is the cult of your father Abraham. It is He Who has named you Muslims, both before and in this (Revelation); that the Apostle may be a witness for you, and ye be witnesses for mankind! So establish regular Prayer, give regular Charity, and hold fast to God! He is your Protector - the Best to protect and the Best to help.

So brother there's no 'physical thing' that is worshipped in Islam.
Muslims who are lack of knowledge and wisdom do many silly things following the crowd.
They pray to deads, including prophet Muhammad s.a.w. which is wrong too.

This is what he was supposed to say to his followers;


Say (O Muhammad): O mankind! If ye are in doubt of my religion, then (know that) I worship not those whom ye worship instead of Allah, but I worship Allah Who causeth you to die, and I have been commanded to be of the believers.
10:105 And, (O Muhammad) set thy purpose resolutely for religion, as a man by nature upright, and be not of those who ascribe partners (to Allah).
10:106 And cry not, beside Allah, unto that which cannot profit thee nor hurt thee, for if thou didst so then wert thou of the wrong-doers.
10:107 If Allah afflicteth thee with some hurt, there is none who can remove it save Him; and if He desireth good for thee, there is none who can repel His bounty. He striketh with it whom He will of his bondmen. He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.
10:108 Say: O mankind! Now hath the Truth from your Lord come unto you. So whosoever is guided, is guided only for (the good of) his soul, and whosoever erreth erreth only against it. And I am not a warder over you.
10:109 And (O Muhammad) follow that which is inspired in thee, and forbear until Allah give judgment. And He is the Best of Judges .

Hope it justifies!

Dear,
I am expecting an answer for why the people beat themselves with sticks on Milad Nabhi day, cutting their hand with swards, knifes etc., like in North Arcot Dist in Tamil Nadu, there is a festival where all the Hindus (Except Brahmins and some caste Hindus)join, hang themselves on nails and pins, suffer themselves , pulling the cart decorated with flowers and same in Nagore as Santhana Koodu festival.

Most Muslim people in India some time follow their rituals as Hindus.
You know onething? When christianity was less in the beginning of 19th centuary, AD1802, the Missionaries like Pope sent a squade to Tamil nadu and absorbed and ordered the preachers to wear the Safforn dress that Hindu god men wore.
They allowed all the converts to worship the goddess Mary as Mariaaman and permitted the Christians to go to the temples too.

The Muslims in Tamil nadu to go to Hindu Temple to offer Prayer to "Moon" in the form of idol and they say they are satisfied with that.

When no Europeans are allowed and when non Hindus are not allowed in any other temple, it is really a surprise that the local Muslims visit Sun God Temple at AAduthurai, near Kumbakonam.

So the culture is Hindu Culture and they worship MOON.

I am not complaining but welcoming not that I am a Hindu but as a Human. If a faith is there that gives satisfaction is god. The vibration that satisfy you and relieve you from sorrow is identified as GOD.
I want this discussion to continue.

Rama...How can 'I' tell you why?
I can only say these Muslims are sunken in a deep dark valley of IGNORANCE.
It's a clear INJUSTICE to the religion called ISLAM.

I can only pray for their guidance. I can't say they should not call them MUSLIMS, because I've no right, but believe me MUSLIM IS NOT A TITLE , IT'S A QUALITY.

They are abslutely MISTAKEN!

18:52] The day will come when He says, "Call upon My partners, whom you claimed to be gods beside Me," they will call on them, but they will not respond to them. An insurmountable barrier will separate them from each other.

Thanks for diverting our attention to what's happening in your country. You are an 'eye-witness' to what Muslims there, are indulged into...whatever you've mentioned is WRONG..

They must be following a Mad Leader blindly!

And Dear Rama...I want to add this to my opinion too..

The message of Islam was nothing but a light of knowledge in the darkness of ignorance.It was to make the faith of a 'human' ...'pure' from 'false' contaminations..and to bring 'peace' in the entire world. The law was to submit or obey one and the only God who created all of us.

After so many years Islam is still pure the message is same as it's litrary meaning Purity Peace Submission Obedience...
but muslims are not pure ..they have kind of, decorated the simplicity of faith with delusions of their own mind.

All 'false practices', like those you've also mentioned in your post, are nothing but the reflection of paganism. They want to 'compete' with the religious practices of the culture they live in. There are many good books which tells us how our spirtuality is affected by the culture we live in. How we follow the crowd like simpleton sheeps blindly.

Now a days inter-religious communication is easy and almost everyone has come to know that Vedas tell about worshipping=obeying only one GOD...too!

A muslim has to be obedient..otherwise being disobedient and then boasting about religion Islam is self-contradictory.

Hope you didn't mind anything. I respect you and your opinion and observations.

Take care..may be a better participant will join this discussion too and will give you better answers.

Dear,

The Islam in South India was spread on the Edge of the Sward. Nearly 700 years from this day, on 1st April 1311 and 2nd April 1311, Malikaffore invaded South India Trichy and forced Hindus to merge with Islam as other wise he will cut their head. The Hindus instead of asking the Malikaffore's men to cut their head, cut their own head with the swards.

The Local Tamil Muslims who were present at the time wept and since Malikaffore was there with millions of army men with him and with fear they witnessed the mass killing at one place, the Ground in front of Samayapuram Poysaleeswaran Temple. From that day on words the local muslims put ther head in shame. The spreading of Muslim in Tamil Nadu was on Sward and you are telling Islam speaks Peace!

Dear really I am confused.
Please give me a correct picture

As a lay man I couldn't follow.

There are books available written by Muslims like IBN Bathutha who writes many things about how the Muslim General killed the Men, took women and children as war prisoners and donated them as slaves to Delhi Sultan

Hi Rama!

It's nice to have you back. The impression I've got from you is that you're lost in the history and there's is no justifications for what had been happening in the name of Islam in past.I can't change it.No one can ....

I read a book of Khuswant Singh "Dehli" (Histor-based-fiction) and I was so depressed to find out how Muslim Kings actually behaved.It was obviously very different from what we usually find in the book of history , taught at school or college level. Since I've not been a student of History, I won't be able to justify it either way.....

Well...There might be some 'historical exaggeretions' ..still I won't take the side of any Muslim ruler who used 'sword' and not 'words' to 'spread' Islam.

Interestingly, some rulers used 'words' too, but there statergy was very lame , indeed...like Akbar-the great as 'Hindus' called him....as he introduced "Deen e Illahi" ..an amalgamated brand of Islam and Hinduism...to make everyone 'feel better' under his majestic rule!

Now I would say these two types of 'rulers' were only a class of prejudiced fools, who tried to take the religion of God (yours and mine) through words and swords.....
...and they didn't spread Islam , they spreaded a 'disease' for which there is NO CURE...

That's how Quran addresses the 'arrogant'...

[7:146] I will divert from My revelations those who are arrogant on earth, without justification. Consequently, when they see every kind of proof they will not believe. And when they see the path of guidance they will not adopt it as their path, but when they see the path of straying they will adopt it as their path. This is the consequence of their rejecting our proofs, and being totally heedless thereof.

Did you find any single case of an ordinary person who tried to impose Islam on his/her neighour of friends..while living under a JUST RULER...(a rare case...haha)

anyways;
....forget everything else..read Quran if you like..the un-changed verdict....it's not a history ..but it still gives you the insight of the commands when use of sword was inevitable for the defensive purposes (only)...so those who take Allah's command in their hands with 'empty heads and hearts...are transgressors and nothing else...

You can also find some good books about the True History of Islam, these days.You will be able to find how the irresponsible 'compliling' of prophet Muhammad's (s.a.w) sayings (Hadith) has been spoiled the face of Islam.
(Hadiths were compiled after about 2 centuries of the demise of the prophet...because The prophet himself strictly forbade it)

Be direct to your God Ramachandran...He will guide you InshAllah...

I can't justify the past , nor can I guarantee the present...or can predict the future..I'm an ordinary human-being ....just like you!

Salaam :)

Dear,

I read many books and discovered Science in Vedas and it quote pure science. You can say Occult Chemistry. But since every thing was designed as god, it made money. Some degraded Women., some designed as Sakthi, the power. The religion which gives equal right to women spreads fast and joins in the main stream, the man kind. One day I wish Islam also will give equal right to women so that its' services are felt at home.

Rama..G!

You are very good at making 'twists and turns' I commend on you!

The RIGHTS Islam has given to the believing WOMEN have NEVER been given by any other religion.I do not intend to make a a comparison here....

Here are a few examples.You must read them carefuly!

Men and Women are EQUAL ..ONE 'BEING'..it's a 'deep' thought!

[4:1] O people, observe your Lord; the One who created you from one being, and created from it its mate, then spread from the two many men and women. You shall regard GOD, by whom you swear, and regard the parents. GOD is watching over you.

EXTERNALLY (Physically, Biologically)..the difference is a real 'charm'.....

[4:32] You shall not covet the qualities bestowed upon each other by GOD; the men enjoy certain qualities, and the women enjoy certain qualities. You may implore GOD to shower you with His grace. GOD is fully aware of all things.


Wow..WOMEN are privileged!

[4:34] The men are made responsible for the women, and GOD has endowed them with certain qualities, and made them the bread earners. The righteous women will cheerfully accept this arrangement, since it is GOD's commandment, and honor their husbands during their absence.

They enjoy exemptions...because of their physique..

4:98] Exempted are the weak men, women, and children who do not possess the strength, nor the means to find a way out.

In God's eye..there is no distinction...

[9:71] The believing men and women are allies of one another. They advocate righteousness and forbid evil, they observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) and give the obligatory charity (Zakat), and they obey GOD and His messenger. These will be showered by GOD's mercy. GOD is Almighty, Most Wise.


[57:18] Surely, the charitable men and women, have loaned GOD a loan of goodness. They will receive their reward multiplied manifold; they have deserved a generous recompense.


[24:26] The bad women for the bad men, and the bad men for the bad women, and the good women for the good men, and the good men for the good women. The latter are innocent of such accusations. They have attained forgiveness and a generous reward.

Accusing a women..because of her vulnerability is a crime....

[24:23] Surely, those who falsely accuse married women who are pious believers have incurred condemnation in this life and in the Hereafter; they have incurred a horrendous retribution.

God wants to protect women form social harms...


[33:59] O prophet, tell your wives, your daughters, and the wives of the believers that they shall lengthen their garments. Thus, they will be recognized (as righteous women) and avoid being insulted. GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful.

.......................

Now I can guess what is coming in your mind ...why women would inherit half the share in inheritance and why a second women is required to strengthen her 'witness'...
if you're a JUST person you can figure out the answers yourself.

...and please remember...

[2:256] Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects evil and believes in God hath grasped the most trustworthy hand- hold, that never breaks. And God heareth and knoweth all things.

PEACE! :)


Plz. Note: The Quran is not a Book of History or Science, yet there are many historical and scientific notions which marvels the human brain.
It is a FINAL AND COMPLETE VERSION OF THE MESSAGE OF OUR GOD TO FOLLOW....
..besides..I want to say..what's the point in exploring the history , if we don't learn any 'lessons' from it.We all must strive to make a better history for our genertaions to come...! God Bless!

I read the autobiography of IBN Batuta, a Muslim traveller who travelled South India in 1333-45 A.D.

He says in a place that the Sultan gave him women slaves to serve him one of which is a married woman. The next day, the husband of that woman came to him and requested him to return his wife and was ready to give him money which Batuta rejected!

Of course friend, the people who were living at that time, the Muslims even they might have read queron well and offered prayer to Allah, they didn't understand that Holy book as you this date.

The Sultans put Taxes only on Hindus in India and if they convert they were given higher post in Government.

North and North West India were the worst affected by this and you can say most of the Muslims were converted by force who were captured as slaves and war prisoners. (The Book, Foreign Notices of South India printed by University of Madras 2001 has a good collection of foreign tourists who travelled India in B.C. too.

Further Dear I can not understand one point among Muslims.

They convert to Muslim and they say, we are Dalit ,( a low caste among Hindus) Muslims a poor one and government should give us preferences in its job offers etc., and Most Muslims in India is looking for Subsided fare in travelling by Flight to Mecca. Where as Qeron says a Muslim should visit Mecca only with his hard earned money and he should not travel money borrowed and on begging.

Secondly the Muslims too buy houses, running Industries, Trades on money borrowed from bank and pay interest, whereas paying interest and collecting interest is a sin as per Muslim religion.

Most of the Muslim nations have their account in Swiss banks as per the report from U.N. which is paying bribe through the Swiss banks.

Paying bribe and collecting bribe is a harem by Muslim law, a Muslim will say, I am also a human I am to live and meet my expenses I am to depend only on these bribes. He justifies.

Dear, I shared my views with you with a hope you will clarify my doubts and to purify my mind. I want to learn many things from you.

Another Turn Rama Saheb...haha

Back into the 'story books'....good for you..it seems you didn't even read what I wrote after your remarks..and paid no attention to what I said....

You are trying to understand the behaviour of Ignorant Muslims to understand the 'teachings of Islam', through books while you have plenty of them around you , already...:)

You are so very interested in Islam and can't study Quran yourself....and when I'm providing you all the references about what you want to know you are telling me that I don't understand the Quran....Shabaash...Bravo!

Now you yourself know that most Muslims don't try to understand Quran...it's a pity that all Islamic values are
usually inherited from one Muslim family to another just like it happens in other religions ...Muslims have no exceptions..Quran is taught in schools and colleges these days .It's read at homes too..that's what it litrarily means..Qur' aan (..most read)...but Muslims generally avoid reading it's translations...

Thankfully I belong to a family where it is/was read with it's meanings ,since my chilhood and the meanings are/were discussed .

These days it's very easy to study Quran online with the help of browsers....anyways....

When people don't bother to know their religion and do not take time to read their own Holy Books , the result is obvious...their behaviours contradicts...and I can't give you more justifications...!

Your religion is about 5000 years old...and it says God is ONE and No image of Him should be made...but Hinduism has proven itself to be the most stubborn of all kind of religions. In a book of comparative religions it was written that Hinduism is like a 'snow ball' ..it keeps gathering snow around it and becomes bigger and bigger with time while it's inner core remains hard and hidden...!

When Budhism started..not because Budha asked his followers to take him as God or Godly person(He didn't claim anything) ..but because of the human nature of finding/making 'solid' Gods ..then after sometime Hindus started including his image into their collections of Gods and Godesses too....
Had there been a permission of making images of the Holy personalities, then Hindus might have had included the image of Muhammad s.a.w. in their religious galleries too!

Do Hindu read their Holy Books ..Do they understand anything...to date....?????????????

I don't think you really are interested in anything at all!

One more thing Bro. Ramachandran...if you really are so obsessed with the history of Sultans..and Women Rights.....then you must have read about TIPU SULTAN of MAYSUR.INDIA..How he first saved the life of a Hindu woman from becomig "Satti"... (being burnt in fire after her husband death)...then how this brutal custom of Hindus got revived due to a Muslim Ruler....

Please don't do 'injustice' to historical evidences ,if you can't live in present without going into the past and then coming'back to the future'....instantly!

Read about Aurang Zaib Aalamgir, the Muslim King of India who used to earn his living through 'calligrapyhy of Quranic verse' and by stitching 'hats'(Topi) by his hands...
These Kings did a lot to reform the 'Hindu Culture and Hinduism' itself apart from doing nonsense of making Heavens and Harems on 'Earth'....ha!

At the time of Rajas...and many holy personalities in your belief , there were Harems full of women too...!

Don't forget how women has been treated in Hinduism ...this custom of yours 'dowry' is another culprit of the Hindu socities which has invaded the ignorant Muslim's culture in India and Pakistan...Pakistan is being revived after becoming independent from Hindustan, very slowly...but it's not paak or Pure...I know...People are still fighting back the Hindu rituals in Islam...it's a never-ending Jihaad (struggle)..but most of them don't even bother to change themslelves...

'Daata Durbaar' is one of the most famous shrine in Lahore where people from all over the country come for 'mannat and muraad' ..asking from the dead...

People say 'Ya Ali' (Shia)...'Ya Rasullahhal" (Sunnis) instead of "Ya Allah"!!!!

I've been to Sri Lanka, Columbo city,...I met a person dayananda...who told me how Indian culture has ruined Srilankun society...don't want to go into detail....

But,

Now I can tell you the 'difference' brother....

Hindus can SERVE the mankind by leaving what is 'religious' to them...and Muslims can serve the mankind by returning to what their religion 'demands'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PEACE!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. Also give a read to how Jews were better under Muslim Rulers, than being under the Christian Rulers...
Christianity was supposed to be a 'mild/humble' version of Judaism, yet everyone knows what they did in the 'name' of their religion...why people call Alexander...'The Great'...think......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rama's questions:(my answers)

Rama:"They convert to Muslim and they say, we are Dalit ,( a low caste among Hindus)"

Silent: I could not understand it... plz make it clear to me!

Rama: "Muslims a poor one and government should give us preferences in its job offers etc.,"
Silent: On what account!


Rama:"Most Muslims in India is looking for Subsided fare in travelling by Flight to Mecca. Where as Qeron says a Muslim should visit Mecca only with his hard earned money and he should not travel money borrowed and on begging. "

Silent: You're right ...there's no need to beg. Hajj is not obligatory for poor Muslims.It's a refreshing course for Rich Muslims who forget their religion because of wordly matters.

Rama:"Secondly the Muslims too buy houses, running Industries, Trades on money borrowed from bank and pay interest, whereas paying interest and collecting interest is a sin as per Muslim religion."
Silent: This is true ..yes the interest giving/taking is forbidden. What should Muslim do where interst-free banking is not available...you better ask a scholar about it.

Rama:"Most of the Muslim nations have their account in Swiss banks as per the report from U.N. which is paying bribe through the Swiss banks."
Silent: It's wrong .

Rama: "Paying bribe and collecting bribe is a harem by Muslim law, a Muslim will say, I am also a human I am to live and meet my expenses I am to depend only on these bribes. He justifies."
Silent: I agree.This is wrong too!

I hope someone else will give you better answers. I'm not perfect, at all.I just didn't want to disappoint you .I respect you.Kindly forgive me if some of my remarks have been hurting, but as you informed me about the facts, these are the part of bitter realities which exist in our socities and we can't ignore them.

God Bless.

My Q:It's interesting that you are very interested in Muslims and not Islam,..anyway....what is your opinion about mentioning of 'Kalki Otaar' mentioned in your holy book?

The man who belongs to Islam is Muslim.

The Indians are getting mails from so called Muslim who might have read your holy book Cheated many Indians through mails you can say cyber crime.

So the holy book teaches only faith but with out followers.
In India there are dozans of Babas who imitate Hindus and say that they read holy book and offer namaz for 6 times, with which they are blessed with power from god and can cure any diseases.

Last night there was a programme in Vijay TV at 22.00 Hrs, which telecate the news.

Dear as per your word the person who follows Islam , is a Muslim who cheats others is is not at all all a muslim. If he commits a mistake will you sack him from Religion, if so where will he go????

It seems Muslims in Hindustan have become 'stubborn' like 'Hindus'.Do 'you' have any solutions for either of these parties?
If 'yes'..go ahead and do something about it...if 'no' why are you asking 'me'?

Dear friend,

Here is a mail that I recived in the name of Allah!
I never contacted this person. Now he cheats in the name of Allah! Like this there are billions of Mulims, the followers of Islam! Where the Islam went wrong???

So to my knowledge religion is a cover, God is a sky, and Sky can not be covered with a cover but covers the human who thinks he covered the face of God, so that he can not see him.

But why Allah???

Dear I respect you and your humanity but I hate people who cheat in the name of God and religion.

I request GOD, to correct Him or if not give us courage to identify him and stay away from him

"So to my knowledge religion is a cover, God is a sky, and Sky can not be covered with a cover but covers the human who thinks he covered the face of God, so that he can not see him. " (RC)

The letter (e-mail) is absolutely ridiculous! (I 'feel' the person is 'not' 'Muslim'!)

PEACE!
