Every time a terrorist attack is carried on by a couple of men claiming to be Muslim, millions of Muslims around the world have to justify their religion. They have to prove that they don't support terrorism, they have prove their patriotism. They have to prove it to acquaintances, colleagues, perfect strangers and even their 'friends'. But maybe it's time that other people explain their prejudice. Why they question the integrity of a person they have known for ages. There are good Muslims and there are bad Muslims, like there are good and bad people in all other religions. Yes, true the terrorists shout 'Allahuakbar' 'God is great' before their act but this is what is important. Anyone can say God is great but a truly religious person will know the qualities of God. A Muslim is taught from the very childhood to say 'Auzobillaheminash shaitainirrajeem Bismillahir rehman ir raheem' before starting a work. Reason? Because by saying auzobillahe, a person means he is seeking refuge with Allah from the devil who is his greatest enemy and will thus not get tempted towards evil. By saying Bismillah, he says in the name of Allah, the most merciful, most beneficent. And anyone who invokes a merciful God, cannot be merciless himself. He cannot kill any other person. The terrorists cannot say these words. These words will tell him that he is wrong. And this is the greatest justification of the religion of Islam, the religion that derives its name from the word Salam or peace.
Anyone can say Allahuakbar but a killer cannot say Bismillah ir rehman ir Raheem because these very words will shake his conscience. His own words will shriek back at him, how dare he invoke a merciful Lord when he is not ready to show mercy to others.
ReplyDeleteAnd the biggest sign of a momin/Muslim is that he says Bismillah irrehman irraheem out loud.
This is all I can say about the 'Islamic terrorism'
