in our country .Why any Christian material are labeled as not suitable for Muslim while the teaching of Islam is not labeled as not suitable for Christian. In the 70s and 80s my teacher did took Bible Knowledge in Missionary school even though he is a Malay it was in St Joseph Kuching although it's not compulsory for Muslim to took it. He told us that it was an interesting subject.
It's really a big deal if a Muslim convert to Christian or to other faith that he/she desire, it is they personnel choice, GOD never force someone to love him, it's your free will.
The non Muslim are expose to the teaching of Islam through various media channel, TV, Radio, History book, Islam civilization book and etc, so why can't the Muslim be expose the teaching of other faith. To Action Fury if the Holy Bible was edited why it has foretold all the coming of prophet and the coming of Son Of God.
They all asked, "Are you then the Son of God?" He (Jesus) replied, "You are right in saying I am." (Luke 22:70)
Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father..." Jesus answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father ... Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me?" (John 14:8-10)
Because God is so much greater than man, He chooses to express Himself in human terms so that we can understand Him.
The Bible calls a number of people "sons of God" but Jesus is addressed as such in a particular way:
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16) That's a good point. People should be made aware of all of the possible beliefs they could choose and be allowed to make their own decision.
If religion is forced on someone, it's not real faith. Faith requires a choice.
(By the way, when you ask a question in English, you have to put the "be" verb -- am, is, are, was, were -- before the subject: "is it really necessary" instead of "it's really necessary." Otherwise, people will think you mean the opposite of what you really mean.) Everyone should be allowed access to the scriptures of other faiths. Your choice should be a matter of conscience not coercion. As a Christian I may not like to see defections to other religions but have to accept it in exchange for the right to try to convince followers or other religions to convert to mine. Frankly, the problem lies on the government of the country. Only in our country...
Acctualy it is not but what to say, the government is controlled majority by muslim so the other religion have to followed the rules.
Something stupid about Malaysian law is, people have their right according to the law but, when comes to religion, there is lot of obstacles.. this is why lot of angers occurs among people, the law is not the law anymore, it just the name.. Bismill膩hir-Ra煤m膩nir-Ra煤eem
Towards which religion COMMON SENSE leads us?
COMMON SENSE # 1: Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said like other true prophets of Allah Abraham, Moses & Jesus (pbut) etc to believe in only ONE true God & not in IDOLS or in many gODS.
COMMON SENSE # 2: Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said believe in Jesus (pbuh) and his revealed book (original one which is lost) and Mosses (pbuh) and his revealed book (original one which is lost) and all revealed books and prophets otherwise u can not be a Muslim. If he is not the true prophet (MAAZ ALLAH) then why he said that believe in them otherwise u will be sent to HELL. Read 鈥淓MAN-E-MUFASSIL鈥?& 鈥?EMAN-E-MUJAMEL 鈥?2 testify.
COMMON SENSE # 3: Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) never said that he is (MAAZ ALLAH)鈥?God 鈥渂ut strictly said that there is only one ALLAH (God) and no one is like him. If he is not the true prophet (MAAZ ALLAH) then why he said that? He called himself as ALLAH鈥檚 last prophet & not bragged about himself (MAAZ ALLAH) as God, as so many fake ppl did in history. Allah (S.W.T.) meaning: (the Exalted, Most Glorious) tells mankind that Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h.) is no more than a Messenger (Quran: 3/144)
COMMON SENSE # 4: Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said like other true prophets before him like Abraham, Moses & Jesus (pbut) about the JUDGEMENT DAY.
COMMON SENSE #5: If u see Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) in pictures made by Non-Muslims, he has same kind of beard like Muhammad (pbuh) had & Muslims have, And also Mother Marry dress in pictures made by Non-Muslims is exactly 100% same as ISLAM says.
COMMON SENSE # 6:Non-Muslims say that Muhammad (peace be upon him) plagiarize the Holy Quran from the Holy Bible but this is NOT possible because Muhammad (pbuh) was not educated, then how he could do such a thing?
COMMON SENSE # 7: Another reason that Muhammad (peace be upon him) can鈥檛 plagiarize the Holy Quran from the Holy Bible is that 鈥淭he Holy Bible at the time of Muhammad (pbuh) was not translated in ARABIC language then how he could plagiarize from it鈥?
COMMON SENSE # 8:Non-Muslims claim that Muhammad (peace be upon him) himself wrote the Holy Quran, if so then why his name comes in the Holy Quran only 5 times & Prophet Adam (pbuh) name 25 times , Prophet Abraham (Pbuh) name 63 times, Prophet Jesus (pbuh) name 25 times, Prophet Moses (pbuh) name comes 136 times, , Prophet Noah (pbuh) name comes 43 times, Prophet Hud (pbuh) names comes 7 times, Prophet Salih (Pbuh) names comes 8 times, Prophet Yousuf (pbuh) name comes 26 times, Story of Prophet Younus (pbuh) comes in 6 Surrahs in the Holy Quran & names of some other prophets comes more than the name of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), If (Maaz Allah) Muhammad (pbuh) wrote the Holy Quran then why not he used his name more than any other prophet?
COMMON SENSE # 9:If Muhammad (peace be upon him) MAAZ ALLAH not a prophet then why he used to pray 5 times a day and conveyed the message of ALLAH that this an order from ALLAH, & in ISLAM u can鈥檛 pray without performing ablution. Why Muhammad (pbuh) used to pray? What for? For who?
COMMON SENSE # 10:If Muhammad (peace be upon him) MAAZ ALLAH not a prophet then why he himself performed 鈥淗AJJ鈥?which is the toughest of the pillars of ISLAM, and said that it is FARZ (Imperative) for all Muslims who have the money to afford it. For who? What for?
COMMON SENSE # 11: Why Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) strictly ordered not to do "SAJDA" before any body but ALLAH. IF he is not MAAZ ALLAH not a prophet then why he said so? Why not he said do "SAJDA" to me as well?
COMMON SENSE# 12:If Muhammad (peace be upon him) MAAZ ALLAH not a prophet then why he used to "FAST" for the whole month of "RAMADAN" for 29 to 30 days without a break & why he most of the time used to PRAY in TARAWEEH (long prayer) and other prayers after the FAST? for who? For what?
COMMON SENSE# 13:If Muhammad (peace be upon him) MAAZ ALLAH not a prophet then why he used to give ZAKAAT (Obligatory Charity, Money to poor) and said that this is God鈥檚 order and every one who can afford should give ZAKAAT. FITRAA is also a God鈥檚 order and it is also giving money to poor ppl. Why he used to do that himself and said that this is IMPERATIVE for all Muslims who ever can afford ZAKAAT & FITRAA. For what and for who?
COMMON SENSE# 14:If Muhammad (peace be upon him) MAAZ ALLAH not a prophet then why he used to give KHAIRAT,SADQA,AQIQA,HADYA,KAFFARA etc to poor ppl which is again giving to needy ppl to gain reward from ALLAH.
COMMON SENSE#15: Even Abraham (Pbuh), Moses (Pbuh) used to dress like Muslims, cover head, beard and thoroughly covered body.
COMMON SENSE#16: There is a Quranic verse named after mother of Jesus (Pbuh), the name of the verse is Surrah-e-Mayam.If prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) is MAAZ ALLAH not a prophet then why not he named the Quranic verse name after his mother? Allah says that he choose Mary above 鈥渢he women of all nations鈥? Why not Muhammad (Pbuh)鈥榮 mother if he MAAZ ALLAH wrote the Holy Quran himself. (3:42). AL-E-IMRAN (THE FAMILY OF 'IMRAN, THE HOUSE OF 'IMRAN) "Behold! the angel said: 'God has chosen you and purified you and has chosen you above the women of all nations. O Mary! God gives you the good news of a word from Him, whose name shall be Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, honored in this world and the hereafter, and one of those brought near to God".
COMMON SENSE#17: If Muhammad (Pbuh) is not a TRUE prophet then why he never used alcohol and made it strictly prohibited, which is always use by humans for fake enjoyments. for whom? What for? Why?
COMMON SENSE#18: When Muhammad (Pbuh) went to MAKKAH to perform Hajj from MEDINA with all of his followers but with no arms when the ppl of MAKKAH were to HOSTILE against Muslims, for whom? What for? Why?
COMMON SENSE#19:The Prophet's wife `A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said, I asked, "Messenger of Allah, why do you exert yourself so much while all your sins have been forgiven?" To this he replied, "`A'ishah, should I not be a grateful servant of Allah?" (Muslim). If he maaz Allah not speaking the truth then for who he used to pray that long? what for?
COMMON SENSE#20: Muhammad (pbuh) was a posthumous & his mother died, when he was about six, then could he give unimaginable respect to parents?
(NOT EVEN UFF, TO PARENTS)
And your Lord has decreed that you not worship except Him, and to parents, good treatment. Whether one or both of them reach old age [while] with you, say not to them [so much as], "uff," (Interjection of anger, dislike, frustration) and do not repel them but speak to them a noble word. 鈥?Holy Quran 17:23
A man once consulted the Prophet Muhammad about taking part in a military campaign. The Prophet asked the man if his mother was still living. When told that she was alive, the Prophet said: "(Then) stay with her, for Paradise is at her feet." (Al-Tirmidhi) & I can quote for days about parent rights in Islam, how did he know them? Since he hardly had the love of parents.
I COULD HAVE WRITE TONS OF TONS MORE COMMON SENSES BUT IF I DO THIS, THEN WHAT WILL BE LEFT FOR U TO THINK ABOUT?
Research & observations from Holy Quran & Sahee Hadith, Religious scholars like Sheikh Ahmed Deedat鈥檚 www.ahmed-deedat.co.za, Dr. Zakir Naik's www.irf.net , www.peacetv.in, Mufti Muneeb-ur-Rehman, Israr Ahmed etc.
May Allah help & guide us all, Amen鈥? that is the law of malaysia, dear
don't blame the whole islam for your country's mistake Misconception again.
I have read the bible,two times
1. Curiosity
2. Just because i have nothing else to do
And I'm still a Muslim.
I am a Muslim. I am proud of Islam and I think it is still the best religion.After being expose, i am still sure my religion is the best and i will never convert to any other religion.Exposure is ok. frankly speaking, no it is not necessary to forbid muslims in malaysia to read about other religions - christianity, hinduism etc. and no there is no such law that they are not allowed to study the bible. many people do, schwan is an example. she has done it without sanctions. so the big question is, whether the individual wants to.
and you are right, religion should be a matter of personal choice and faith by itself cannot be forced. i am highly skeptical about the real intention behind the labels, if they exist, it would be either the choice of publishers, or the ridiculous idea of the government. i dont know much about islam, but i am very certain islam does not refrain its followers to learn about other teachings.
ps - i gave one answer a thumb down because he is mocking other religion, which only shows so much he has in his pea brain. put your faith high up in the sky as you wish but it's not your religion teaching EITHER to belittle others. and schwan - so glad you found islam to be the one suited you best. but a "best" religion? lol if it was true that there is only one god according to your teaching, why do we bother using "best"...
also realise that, there are in fact some other born muslims who (unfortunately) do not wish to follow islamic teachings so being a "democratic" society that we self proclaim as, exposure and acceptance are warranted.
the girl from korea is right, the question lies within our government, not the religion. so, use your vote wisely at the election. ada baca tapi tak habis lagi.
since i 'khatam' Quran, why not i read others.
Knowldge is King Frankly speaking ... have u read Quran before? ... and if u did .. do u understand it? ...
I read some of the HIndu Books ... and also Bible ... but sorry i can't understand it ... and u are saying about Free Will ... yeah it's our free will to read it or not and mind your own business ... People with closed mind will never accept anything outside their brain. They will also try not to let anyone accept anything besides those in their brain. 'Vigorous Control' is the key not to let anyone think outside a closed mind. Well I read Bible and frankly speaking I love Song of Solomon. |
