I've been reading, reading and hearing people say this and that about Islam. About how they think it is. But as a Muslim, I'm confused. To there words. Saying things like that.
Do they really know? Or are they just copying what others said or what they hear about people? Did they actually look to it?
If yes.
What exactly did they look into it?
They say; The Quran.
But really?
Don't get me wrong, I'm only stating things.
When i compare with what i learned and researched. It's still diffrent to what they claim.
Even when it's the exact same verse. It's like two whole diffrent story. Even one small word can interpreted wrongly and make the whole sentiment diffrent.
Translating a language to another language is not that easy as it seems. Many words can mean diffrent things at the same time. Just like any language.
You didn't notice that sometimes when you speak, and some people look at you with a weird face or just laugh at you. Because sometimes one word can have two or more meanings.
So what makes you all known about the Quran? When it's translated. You know, translated Qurans will never top the orginal version and language. The meaning behind every word, can't be translated.
And to make it clear. A religion is something personal, everyone has there right to choose and decide what they want and what not.
By making someone else believe black, isn't making you a good person. Your hurting the feelings of those people. I'm not talking about islam only, but all religions in general.
What does it matter if one is this or that? It's not you who lives for them. You may advice all you want. But don't go overboard. Forcing, blackmailing or threaten the person to change its belief or just insulting it. Is bad.
You may be as sweet as sugar, doing that won't make you a good person. Let people decide on there own, just like you did yourself.
If you dont want to believe in a religion, fine. It's your responsibility and your life.
If you believe all those lies instead of the truth. Fine, I just hope you will look at the truth at the end. If you prefer listen to the media or what people say instead of looking for yourself. That's your decision. Yours only.
Religion or just belief is something personal. Just like everyone is free of sharing opinions. So is believing in what they want.
Another thing.
When killing nonbelievers was been ordered in the Quran, then there would be no disbelievers alive. If this was really true that Muslims must kill non Muslims. Then how are they then alive? Wouldn't they all be gone then?
No, because it's not true. It's clearly mentioned in the Quran that. Killing a human is forbidden in Islam. It's one of the biggest sin you can commit. But does people talk about this? No, keep using the Muslims kill non Muslim card.
When you look cleary to the verse you read about killing, you will see and I mean look the whole thing not one verse. Then you see, to who it was said, when it was, why that was and how.
About woman having not rights. Well i didn't know that we're at the middle age. Who made that up? If there was a time where woman had no rights it's in that time. Not in Islam.
Woman in general has a big role in Islam. So big that paradise lies beneath the mothers feet.
And don't mix up culture with religion. They are both diffrent things. I won't talk much about this topic because it's a whole history to tell. It's very interresting. It's beautiful how woman are treated good in Islam. But you'll only believe once you see yourself.
There's one whole surah about woman. If woman was so low in Islam like most claimed. Then why would there be a whole surah about woman? Why would woman have a big role in Islam then? If woman had no rights like they claimed.
People these days make conclusions before they know for sure. Before they made complete research. But I don't blame them. When they actually wanted to know the truth, they would find it. And see. Not everyone wants truth.
What do i mean with that?
Well didn't you notice that, telling a lie is so easy. And saying the truth is so hard nowadays? It's like people don't want to hear the truth and prefer the lies.
But you may lie as much as you want. The Truth will always come above the water, just like oil on water. They come through no matter what.
A lie is temperory but truth is lifetime.
The longer you lie, the harder the fall will be.
By being true, it will be forgiven easily. But by avoiding it with lies. Theres no way of hope.
