Religious Rivalry, cannot end unless mankind would follow most important rules of ‘respect and sympathy’, to bring harmony and solidarity in the most toxic world that is full of anger and hatred of each other mainly on religious issues.
In some cases it is shown the most heinous way by killing the innocent ones like the killing of Jewish worshipers in the Synagogue. Our heartiest condolences to the survivor- victims.
I personally have experienced the most horrendous abuses of Islam, Quran, and personal abuses by filthy pornography emails calling me kafir for accepting Islam. but keeping in mind the perfect tolerance of Prophet Muhammad SAWS against his enemies, helped me a lot. Although to keep such patience is not possible for us the ordinary people.
Though, such abuses are due to the lack of respect, understanding and recognition of the Divine authority of the Universal Creator GOD, therefore, it is utmost essential to make them aware of the truth of reality of Divine authority of GOD and HIS final Messenger SAWS.
Without doubt the abusers of Allah’s religion, HIS Divine Book of final Revelation Quran, HIS final Prophet, and female Uniform of Hijab should be punished under the blaspheme law to teach them a lesson of good conduct and respect. At the same time we must not forget to use the same justice system of Prophet SAWS, who
was known as most noble, trustworthy, truthful, patient and had good relationship with Jews, Christians and other tribes even before and after his Prophet-hood.
Such of his characters reflected in his daily life. When the Prophet was invited for dinner, a non-Muslim Hostess poisoned his food to kill him, he was warned by Allah of poisoned food, she was caught and accepted her guilt, but instead of punishing her he forgave her. SubhanAllah. He also forgave the Neighbor who was throwing garbage at his house entrance.
In other occasion the town people out of hatred throwing stones at him, he was injured, bleeding, and the Angel appeared and asked for his permission to destroy his enemies, but he answered: No, they don’t know me yet, give them time to understand my mission from GOD”.
Similarly Messiah Jesus (AS) on the Cross said: Father, forgive them for they do not know what they are doing”.
A street walker at the Water Well saw a thirsty Dog and fed him water from the Well using her shoe, due to her action of sympathy and empathy, pleasing to Allah, her past sins were forgiven and she earned a place in Paradise. So sharing cup with Christian can’t be illegal.
In case of Farm labourer Pakistani Christian lady Aasiya Bibi accused of insulting the Prophet SAWS, spent 8 yrs in prison and now acquitted but with lots of opposition, proving anti-sharia- anti-Prophet practice.
First of all it was absolutely wrong and absurd to oppose her drinking water from the same Cup just because she was a Christian.
If it was for the other common reasons of the danger of sharing the cup for the health hazard that is understood, but provoking her was wrong.
It is understood that in anger most undesirable things are uttered, especially when it comes to the religious rivalry, we become friends of Satan and insult the Prophet and the Holy Revelation Quran.
Let’s keep in mind to follow the best of tradition of Prophet SAWS, follow his ways, deal with pure justice, and not our own whims and desires full of anger and hatred.
We need following clarification from the Pakistan authority.
Why did she use the same cup? Did it belong to the Muslim lady only who objected to her using her cup? Why did she leave her cup there?
Why didn’t the Farm authority keep more cups? Why didn’t they inform the workers not to use other people’s Cups?
Was Aasiya Bibi made aware of what sin has she committed by insulting the Prophet? Was she asked to apologize? Her apology should have been sufficient.
However, a Mother of 3 children shouldn’t have imprisoned for 8 yrs. (Naouzoobillah). Just think what the Prophet’s verdict would be?
Forgive her and let her go free.
ISCC and MAT Strongly Condemn Attacks
on Synagogue in Pittsburgh
By: Imam Syed Soharwardy
(Calgary) The Islamic Supreme Council of Canada (ISCC) and Muslims Against Terrorism (MAT) strongly condemn Saturday’s terrorist attacks on the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, USA. An alleged terrorist identified as Robert D. Bowers, 46, a Pittsburgh resident shot worshipers during Shabbat services, killing 11 and wounding six in the deadliest attack on Jews in the history of the United States. “It is shocking and extremely disappointing that hate is on the rise. No one is safe, not even worshipers in the sanctuaries.”, said Imam Syed Soharwardy when arrived yesterday in Calgary from his visit to Vatican City where he met Pope Francis.
Islamic Supreme Council of Canada and the Muslims Against Terrorism stand shoulder to shoulder with the Jewish community in Pittsburgh and around the world. We express our deep sympathies and condolences with the victims and their families. We pray for the speedy recovery of those who were wounded.
We urge all people of faith to unite against all forms of discrimination, racism, hate and violence. ISCC and MAT strongly condemn all forms of anti-Semitism, Anti-Christian and Islamophobia. The only way we can save our society from such hate-mongers is to unite as people of faiths. We keep our differences in beliefs, but we all share our common humanity and its values. We need to safeguard what we share.
