MY REPLY :

“Verily, We (GOD), it is We Who have sent down the Dhikr (i.e. the Qur’aan (Quran / Koran)) and surely, We will guard it (from corruption)” [ HOLY QURAN Surah (Chapter of) al-Hijr 15:9]

“To you We( Allah or God) sent the Scripture (Quran) in truth, confirming the scripture (The Original Uncorrupted Bible) that came before it, and guarding it(Quran) in safety, so judge between them by what Allâh(God ) has revealed, and follow not their vain desires, diverging from the Truth that has come to you.” Holy Quran (5:4

The Quran has spoken for itself that is a UNCORRUPTED AND PROTECTED HOLY BOOK OF GOD AS PROMISED BY GOD HIMSELF, this is as opposed to the Bible which itself says that it has been corrupted by Evil Humans

“How can you say, ‘We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us’? But, behold, the false pen of the scribes has made it into a lie. (From the RSV Bible, Jeremiah 8: “

And NO WHERE in the Bible God promises to GUARD and PROTECT BIBLE from Human or Devil CORRUPTION as opposed to the Last and Final Holy Book of God sent to entire Humanity THE HOLY QURAN.

Another Important Point to note is That Prophet Muhammad(s) is the last and final Messenger or Prophet of God sent to the ENTIRE humanity irrespective of Race or Country

And We did not send you (O Muhammad) except as a Mercy to the worlds(all the People in this world and in hereafter).

Holy Qur’an 21:107

And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will not be accepted from him and he will be one of the losers in the Hereafter. (Holy Quran, 3:85)

“Indeed, those who disbelieve and die

while they are disbelievers – never would the

(whole) capacity of the earth in gold be accepted

from one of them if he would (seek to) ransom

himself with it. For those there will be a painful

punishment, and they will have no helpers.” ( Holy

Quran 3:91)

“This day I (God) have perfected for you your

religion, and completed my favor upon you and

have chosen Islam as your way of life.”

(Holy Qur’an 5:3)

“It is He who has sent His messenger

(Muhammad) with the guidance and the

Religion of truth(Islam), to prevail over

all religions, even though the idolaters

may detest.”

(Holy Quran 9:33)

Wow if you are a Jew or Christian women then you are Automatically a Sinner ?

For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner” (I Timothy 2:11-14).

“I find more bitter than death the woman who is a snare, whose heart is a trap and whose hands are chains. The man who pleases God will escape her, but the sinner she will ensnare….while I was still searching but not finding, I found one upright man among a thousand but not one upright woman among them all” (Ecclesiastes 7:26-2

Wow if you are a Jew or Christian women then you are done for !!! for automatically you are evil and a sinner sharing the so called original sin of Eve rather than Adam ??? or both .

No matter how modern you outlook is it does not matter, for your own Bible and Torah calls you a SINNER AND EVIL BEING BY BIRTH ????

It is clear cut that Bible or Torah are not a standard to be followed in any age especially in this age of Modernization .

The Bible and Torah have been corrupted by Humans as this is testified by the Bible , Torah itself

“How can you say, ‘We are wise, and the law of

theLORD is with us’? But, behold, the false pen of the

scribes

has made it into a lie.

(From the RSV Bible,

Jeremiah 8:8)”

No wonder we can see such unjust and male chauvinist statements imprinted in the book of God by narrow mined Humans , this is even more clear if we read the Fair statements of the Lord in the Final Testament of God the Holy Quran which has remained unchanged and uncorrupted since 1400 hundred years and is preserved in the original Arabic form Revealed by God to Prophet Muhammad (s) word by word .

“Whoever works righteousness, man or woman, and has faith, verily to him/her we will give a new life that is good and pure, and we will bestow on such their reward according to the best of their actions”

Holy Quran (16:97).

Now it is up to all self respecting Jewish and Christian Women whether they want to accept the unjust man made statements in the TORAH or BIBLE? And prefer to be looked down as an inferior, sinful, evil breed of humans?

OR

They choose the fair and just statements of God himself in the Holy Quran ?

The choice is yours

CHOOSE WISELY BIBLE, TORAH OR HOLY QURAN

Islam The True Liberator of Women

Saturday, November 1, 1997

Former Baptist explains why she is now a

Muslim

By REBECCA SIMMONS

Scripps Howard News Service

She used to be a Southern Baptist, a radical feminist and a broadcast journalist. Now Aminah Assilmi is an ambassador of Islam.

The director of the International Union of Muslim Women, Assilmi calls Fairfield, Ohio, home. She travels the country speaking on college campuses, increasing public awareness and understanding of the faith.

She wears the traditional Islamic hijab, which includes a head scarf, covering her hair and neck and modest clothing with long sleeves.

Last week at the University of Tennessee, Assilmi spoke to a near-full audience on the status of women in Islam in her lecture, “A Muslim woman speaks from behind the veil.”

Assilmi cautions critics who say that women are oppressed in some predominately Muslim countries. She says their practices are cultural, not Islamic.

“People who are held down, are held down by ignorance,” she said. “They follow cultural practices. Do not judge Islam by these individuals who have only practiced like the people in their family.”

But, Assilmi told audiences, she hasn’t always been a Muslim and a proponent of Islam.

Meeting her first “real life Muslims” when she took a college theater class some years ago, Assilmi said she almost dropped the class when she walked into the room and saw some Arab students in traditional hijab.

In the handbook she authored, “Choosing Islam,” Assilmi writes, “There was no way I was going to sit in a room with dirty heathens. .. I shut the door and went home.”

After her husband encouraged her to go back to the theater class, Assilmi said she felt it her duty to “convert the poor, ignorant Muslims.”

Hoping to convert the students to Christianity, Assilmi began to study the Koran, the holy book of Islam, in a quest to prove that Mohammed was a false prophet and that Islam was not a valid religion.

But the more she read, the more she became interested in Islam. She was particularly interested in what the Koran had to say about men and women.

Islamic women, she thought, “were freely beaten by their husbands and tossed aside.”

Assilmi says she had based her opinion on stereotypes; and soon found out those ideas were not in keeping with the Koran.

Through intense study, she said she learned that Islamic women are equal to men and are paid according to the job they do regardless of their gender. Both men and women have equal rights to education. Islamic women have had the right to own property for more than 1,400 years. And when a woman marries, she does not change her last name, but keeps her father’s last name.

Thus, Assilmi told her college audience, “We remain our own distinct individual.”

“For two years I studied in order to convert Muslims to Christianity,” she said.

But during that time Assilmi said she started to change. Her husband began to notice that she no longer had an interest in going to bars or parties. She was content to stay home and study the Koran.

“I was quiet and more distant,” Assilmi writes in her handbook.

Her husband attributed the changes in her to another man and the couple separated.

After she moved out with their three children, Assilmi was visited by a Muslim holy leader who answered her questions about the faith. He asked her if she believed in only one God and Assilmi said yes. He asked her if she believed Mohammed was His messenger. Again she said yes.

“He told me I was already a Muslim. I argued that I was a Christian, I was just trying to understand Islam. I couldn’t be a Muslim! I was an American and white!

“We continued talking. Later he explained that attaining knowledge and understanding of spirituality was a little like climbing a ladder.”

The first rung on the ladder was the Shahadah, a statement of belief that there is no God but the one God and Mohammed was his messenger. The Shahadah, done before witnesses, is in the Islamic faith, the Christian equivalent of a statement of belief in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

For Assilmi, taking Shahadah in 1977 was the first step toward a a deeper understanding of Islam.

But she still had a few hang-ups — like hijab. Hijab is the modest dress worn by both Muslim men and women; however its most recognizable feature is the head scarf worn by women.

“I agreed with modesty, but I was vain about my hair,” Assilmi said. “The Koran tells us to cover ourselves to be identified as Muslims. I am a Muslim and I know what my God-given rights are. Hijab is not a requirement or restriction, but a right and a privilege. I would fight to the death to wear it.”

“I gave up being a women’s liberationist — it wasn’t fulfilling — I became a Muslim … Liberation, yeah, that’s Islam,” said Assilmi who adopted her name during the Iranian hostage crisis in 1980.

She adopted the new name “to protect my family from ignorance.” She no longer uses her given name.

Assilmi said Islamic women are not limited in professional fields by their religion. However, “The most powerful profession is being a mother. Because we form the mind of the next generation.”

Muslim women, she said, are often discriminated against because of the hijab.

“In this country it’s extremely difficult for Muslim women.”

That is why some Muslim women wear varying degrees of hijab. For example, some women might wear loose-fitting modest clothing, others may wear the head scarf, covering the hair and neck, and still others may have the courage to wear the face veil where only the eyes are visible.

An award-winning broadcaster in the Denver market, Assilmi lost her job when she began wearing Islamic dress.

She says the persecution is intense.

“I’ve been forced off the road before — beaten up — and I’ve never lifted a hand against anyone,” Assilmi said.

She even tried to wear the face veil, but said, “I could not handle the experience.”

The defining moment came when she tried to cash a check at her bank wearing the face veil. A bank security guard drew his gun preparing to shoot if she made any questionable moves.

For Assilmi, her job as a broadcaster was not the only thing she lost when she first chose Islam.

Her marriage over, she also lost custody of her children because the court decided that the “unorthodox religion” would be detrimental to them.

But since then, Assilmi says her children have converted to Islam and so have her parents and her ex-husband.

“Relatives of mine are still becoming Muslim right and left,” she said.

Now at “well over half a century” and having survived bone cancer, Assilmi has made two pilgrimages to Mecca, a holy trip that Muslims are instructed to take in their lifetime. The cancer weakened her bones and now she uses a wheelchair as a “mobility enhancement.”

“God decided that I would continue to live,” she said.

And, “I ceased to be afraid of anything. It became very important that I would speak the truth everywhere. I would have to answer to God for everything I do and say.

“I love sharing Islam.”

(Rebecca Simmons writes for The Knoxville News-Sentinel in Tennessee.)

In every season life is a Teacher

You are the student

God is the Principal

There is wisdom in the season of pain

There is wisdom in the season of Joy

One who Remembers God in Pain, but forgets Him in Happiness

Is a Bad Learner indeed my friends

Form him awaits further classes and more suffering so that he might learn

One who Remembers God in Happiness as desperately as he would remember Him in pain

Is a good learner indeed my friends

For him awaits nothing but endless bliss

How Umar (r) a Disciple (Companion) of Prophet Muhammad(s) who was an Idol worshiper and a fierce enemy of Islam and Prophet Muhammad(s) converted to Islam –

How Umar (r) a Disciple (Companion) of Prophet Muhammad(s) who was an Idol worshiper and a fierce enemy of Islam and Prophet Muhammad(s) converted to Islam – Part 1

When the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be on him) proclaimed himself being a Prophet of God , the reaction among the Quraish was violent. Umar(r), a young man of strong convictions, held the new faith(Islam) to be a sacrilege of the idols of Katbah. Young, well-built, and fiery-tempered as he was, Umar(r) was in tile forefront in opposition to Islam.

Some accounts have come down to us showing Umar’s (r) attitude to Islam in the days before his conversion.

Umm Abdullah bint Khatamah, a lady related to Umar, also accepted Islam. Umar (r) was very furious at her conversion. As she along with her husband Amar bin Rabiah and other early converts decided to migrate to Abyssinia, Umar (r) felt moved. He visited her and said, “Umm Abdullah are you going?” She said, By God, you have made our living in Mecca very difficult. There is no option with us but to migrate elsewhere.” Inadvertently Umar (r) said, ‘Umm Abdullah, may God protect you; go in peace.” At that time Umm Abdullah felt that in spite of Umar’s(r) opposition to Islam, he would one day accept the new faith.

Abdullah ibn 'Amr (r) said, "A man came to Prophet Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and made a pledge to him that he would do hijra(emigrate with Prophet to Medina).

He left his parents who were in tears. The Prophet may Allah bless him and grant him peace said, 'Go back to them and make them laugh as you made them weep.'"

SAHI BUKHARI

Holy QuranSurah 68. The Pen, (the

Letter) N

1. Nun. By the Pen and the (Record) which (men) write,-

2. Thou(Muhammad) art not, by the Grace of thy Lord,

mad or possessed.

3. Nay, verily for thee is a Reward unfailing:

4. And thou (Muhammad)(standest) on an exalted

standard of character.

5. Soon wilt thou see, and they will see,

6. Which of you is afflicted with madness.

7. Verily it is thy Lord that knoweth best, which (among

men) hath strayed from His Path: and He knoweth best

those who receive (true) Guidance.

8. So hearken not to those who deny (the Truth).

Many a Friends I met now fade away In Memory

Many Places I saw now fade away in Memory

Many Wishes I made now fade away in Memory

Like a garden full of roses is the life

It fades away with time and Season

But it is this I who refuses to fade away

It is this I who wants to hold on to the past

And wishes to welcome the future

Who is this I ?

Who wishes eternity?

Though born a Human

With a beginning and a end

Yet refuses to acknowledge its beginning and its end

Who am I ?

What is my Mystery?

Why got to Mosque?

If you leave your God in the Mosque every time

And come out with an heart empty of God

Why Play a Lost Game?

Why fool yourself?

For if it was God whom you sought to deceive?

Then your going to mosque was an futile exercise

For you are the one who is deceived

A Drop of Love

A Drop of Love

Come and witness the power of Love

Drinking a Drop of Love you Dance Intoxicated

Yet You know not what Sate you will reach When You drink from the Ocean

Like Ocean is the love of Allah

Yet with a drop you make yourself satisfied?

What a Choice you have made my friends

You Trade the Ocean for a drop of water?

What a waste of Life

What a waste of Life

You lived life an Animal

Though God created you a Human

But you never showed that you where one

Your Intellect was stuck and basic instincts

You wasted Your time competing with others in vain desires

Have you ever realized what you have become ?

A man you where now an Animal

Even Animal lay claim to fearing God

But thou has lost to even animals in that claim !!!
