A message to Muslims.
A message to Muslims.
Islam began with Da'wah. It is a very significant feature in Islam. Da'wah simply means invitation when translated literally. However, when interpreted it means an invitation to the truth.
There are countless of people out there today so eager, intent and fully dedicated in bashing and attack on Islam and its people. These bashers devote themselves almost solely for the purpose of demonising and so-called 'exposing' Islam to the rest of the world. They use platforms of both electronic media(tv, internet) and written media(books, magazines). I'd be prepared to wager that most people are unaware of the fact that the Time Magazine of April 16, 1979 reported that in a span of 150 years, from 1800 CE to 1950 CE "over 60,000 books have been written against Islam by the Christian West. It would be safe to assume that with the advancement we've achieved since then the number could easily have doubled, thus we may safely assume that over 120 000 ANTI-ISLAMIC books have been written and published against Islam. Alas, written material isn't sufficient for them, they've got to use the 'idiot box' too ! The television is probably the most potent tool for programming or brainwashing the minds of people. This is what the psychologist will tell you. Incessantly you hear on CNN, BBC, FOX, CBS etc. terms like Islamic Jihad presented along side images and report of suicide bombings, terrorism, backwardness etc. , Islamic militants, Muslim violence, Islamic violence and the list is inexhaustible. They fail add the term Christian or Jew to teenagers in America who equipped with machine guns go to their schools and murder his schoolmates and teachers. They also fail to mention about the rapings of women which occurs on a very regular basis in America, committed by Christian/Jewish or at least men who were raised in Christian/Jewish households. Well we can't really blame the masses or ordinary viewers who have little or no knowledge at all about Islam in concluding that Islam is 'bad news' after watching the relentless portrayals of atrocities equated with Islam on their television set.
Many groups and individuals have seen these circumstances as an open window of opportunity to dupe the uninformed and uncultivated further. They've taken the tact of using the materials of Islam against Islam by twisting, confusing and degressing them so that they'll lean towards their dastardly views. However, the most malignant and baleful new tact that these heinous people have adopted is ruse. They go under the guise and blanket of so-called 'ex-Muslims' enticing people with their purported 'horrendous' personal experiences when they were purportedly Muslims. Ibn Warraq and Ali Sina are good examples of this category of brood vipers.
Islam is perhaps the most misunderstood, misrepresented, and misinterpreted faith in the world. There are so many venomous dark forces out there, unrelentless in their pursuit to as Ali Sina in his testimony of apostasy puts it 'ERADICATE' Islam from the face of the earth! What hallucinations! What vain desires these guttersnipes envision !
I'm sure my Muslim brothers and sisters will agree with me, judging from the things that's going around today the course of Da'wah has become more important than ever before, with the exception of Muhammad's s.a.w. days. The evil spell of deceit that the attackers of Islam has woven has not only befallen the non-Muslims, but it has unfortunately also befallen our brothers and sisters, many of which have adopted the title 'ex-Muslim'. In Indonesia alone the Christian mission there were boasting in the 1990's that they've perverted more than 15 MILLION Muslims to Christianity!!! Are we just going to sit idly, silently in our comfort zones and do nothing while the devils slander and make a mockery of Islam?!?! Shall we do nothing while we lose our brothers and sisters in droves???? 1 perversion is dramatic enough, but 15 MILLION???? How is it that we have become so utterly spineless??? Where have all the defenders of Islam gone? Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that the entire Ummah is doing nothing. We've got al-Qa'eda, Zarqawi and Jema'ah Islamiyyah and we've got people going around protesting and shouting and yelling their lungs out while burning, ravaging and killing. Are these the people and methods that reflect Da'wah????????? Da'wah means INVITATION. Do we INVITE people by doing harm to them???? Is that how you INVITE people???? If you want to invite someone over to your house for tea, do you burn his house first??? And since when did terrorists who murder civilians, pillage and plunder become the bastions and emissaries of Islam??? I do agree with demonstrations, but we ought to demonstrate with intelligence NOT emotion. The more violence we exert, the more we fuel their evil propaganda. Brothers and Sisters, we must realise this. We are falling right into their traps. It is timely that we as Muslims rise and stand against the tide of wickedness and villains outside of Islam as well as Inside! It is time that we take back our religion ! It is time that we take up our flaming torch of truth to SHINE in the dark abyss in which Islam is being enveloped with today. It is time that we take up our sword, not that of steel, but that of intelligence against our adversaries! Arm yourselves today with knowledge!
