Who is Allah? My Ramadan post!

I don't want to waste my time arguing with someone who is so full of hate on religious matters on Facebook, Twitter and other websites. It is just time consuming and eventually everyone is hiding behind their computers screen saying horrific things about religion in general and Islam in particular. There are a common misunderstandings about Islam in many people. I would try to address few in simple Q and A type format on this post. I am doing this because I hope somebody would click this and I will be able to at least fulfill my duty to spread some of the facts about Islam during Ramadan..

Who is ALLAH? 
Allah is not a Moon God. Allah is an Arabic word used for the God(the force controlling this universe). According to Islam, He is the God of Adam, Noah, Moses, Jesus, Muhammad and other Prophets (Peace be Upon them)

Who is Jesus? 
He is the Prophet of God Al mighty. If a Muslim does not believe in Jesus, he is not a Muslim. Al though Muslims do not consider him the Son of God.

Can you Prove that Allah exist?
I believe that you don't need scientific experiments to prove God.

Can you describe to me the role of women in Islam? Why is there so much hate against women in Islam? Why is Islam so tough on women?

Read Surah An Nisa

For further questions, you can ask religious scholars like Dr. Zakir Naik, Dr, Javaid Ahmed Ghamidi, Mufti Taki Usmani, Maulana Tariq Jameel and others. I have no intention of dodging any questions. I don't think that I have the necessary knowledge to satisfy the internal conflicts of any woman. But trust me on this one, I WOULD NEVER FORCE A WOMAN TO WEAR A BURQA. There are many others who think the same.

 Is Saudia Arabia the role model for Muslims?

Personally, I don't think so. There is not even a single Islamic country in this world which can be called a model for the Muslim world. Many of the Islamic countries have added cultural stuff in Islam.

What is Jihad/The Holy War?

Many people have a lot of misconceptions about Jihad. It is NOT JUST the war fought in the battlefields.It is about the conflict between evil and good within us. It is also about getting Education and Working hard. It is also about the minute to minute struggle of our daily lives. It is also about standing for the rights of the weak. It is also about standing for the rights of the minorities. It is also about speaking the truth in front of an oppressor. Its about living and facing your daily life with courage. It is about accepting your failures and successes while being grateful to God.

Is there any difference between Moderate Muslims and Right wing fundamentalists like OBL?
Yes there is a hell of a difference. Many of the Muslims do not believe in his version of Islam. He was an Arab who lived in Afghanistan and killed in Pakistan.

Do Muslims want to kill christians and believers of other faiths ? Will a Muslim kill me if he gets a chance? The answer is NO. Period! :)
P.S. Hope I wont get hate messages after writing this.

Fear Or Flexibility ?

Fear for a thing generates Hatred for that thing. And majority of the Pakistani's are afraid of Taliban and their Extremist Verson of Islam. May God give Taliban some sense to Preach a Less extreme version of Islam without violence. That is the only way they can achieve some success. The way they are now moving will create fear and hatred. Their way will create their control for only a short period of time and then the control will self-destruct. With Guns, they can control anybody physically but not Mentally. When the Sufi's first came to the sub-continent, they learnt the Culture of the Sub-continent. They just studied the fine details of the different traditions of the Sub-continent. They found out that Music was a good way to connect with the people. They used their common sense and utilized the Weapon of Melody and Installed the Basic Fundamentals of Islam in the Hearts and Minds of the People althought Music is considered to be HARAM by many Islam Scholars. They preached...

...moving on!

With a simple smile, one can create hopes and dreams. I smiled at a total stranger and she smiled back. I thought that perhaps smile is all one needs to begin new hopes and dreams. May be that is the secret ingredient to happiness and love. May be I would  never be able to talk to her. But It did give me the inspiration to write on this blog. An inspiration which is very hard to find these days. Its my nature that I cant stay away from hope.A song or a smile, Hope is all I need right now. But I am not sure how long I will be able to survive like this. But unless, I see some real results I can only rely on hope and prayers.
