|
|
1. Respect and honour all human beings irrespective of their religion,
colour, race, sex, language, status, property, birth, profession/job
and so on [Qur'an17/70]
2. Talk straight, to the point, without any ambiguity or deception
[Qur'an33/70]
3. Choose best words to speak and say them in the best possible way
[Qur'an17/53, 2/83]
4. Do not shout. Speak politely keeping your voice low. [Qur'an31/19]
5. Always speak the truth. Shun words that are deceitful and
ostentatious [Qur'an22/30]
6. Do not confound truth with falsehood [Qur'an2/42]
7. Say with your mouth what is in your heart [Qur'an3/167]
8. Speak in a civilised manner in a language that is recognised by the
society and is commonly used [Qur'an4/5]
9. When you voice an opinion, be just, even if it is against a
relative [Qur'an6/152]
10. Do not be a bragging boaster [Qur'an31/18]
11. Do not talk, listen or do anything vain [Qur'an23/3, 28/55]
12. Do not participate in any paltry. If you pass near a futile play,
then pass by with dignity [Qur'an25/72]
13. Do not verge upon any immodesty or lewdness whether surreptitious
or overt [Qur'an6/151]
14. If, unintentionally, any misconduct occurs by you, then correct
yourself expeditiously [Qur'an3/134]
15. Do not be contemptuous or arrogant with people [Qur'an31/18]
16. Do not walk haughtily or with conceit [Qur'an17/37, 31/18]
17. Be moderate in thy pace [Qur'an31/19]
18. Walk with humility and sedateness [Qur'an25/63]
19. Keep your gazes lowered devoid of any lecherous leers and
salacious stares [Qur'an24/30-31, 40/19]
20. If you do not have complete knowledge about anything, it is better
to keep silent. You might think that speaking about something without
full knowledge is a trivial matter. But it might have grave
consequences
[Qur'an24/15-16]
21. When you hear something malicious about someone, keep a favourable
view about him/her until you attain full knowledge about the matter.
Consider others innocent until they are proven guilty with solid and
truthful evidence [Qur'an24/12-13]
22. Ascertain the truth of any news, lest you smite someone in
ignorance and afterwards repent of what you did [Qur'an49/6]
23. Do not follow blindly any information of which you have no direct
knowledge. (Using your faculties of perception and conception) you
must verify it for yourself. In the Court of your Lord, you will be
held
accountable for your hearing, sight, and the faculty of reasoning
[Qur'an17/36]
24. Never think that you have reached the final stage of knowledge and
nobody knows more than yourself. Remember! Above everyone endowed with
knowledge is another endowed with more knowledge [Qur'an12/76]. Even
the Prophet [p.b.u.h] was asked to keep praying, "O My sustainer!
Advance
me in knowledge." [Qur'an20:114]
25. The believers are but a single Brotherhood. Live like members of
one family, brothers and sisters unto one another [Qur'an49/10]
26. Do not make mockery of others or ridicule others [Qur'an49/11]
27. Do not defame others [Qur'an49/11]
28. Do not insult others by nicknames [Qur'an49/11]
29. Avoid suspicion and guesswork. Suspicion and guesswork might
deplete your communal energy [Qur'an49/12]

safety. One who conveys to you a message of safety and security and
also when a courteous greeting is offered to you, meet it with a
greeting
still more courteous or (at least) of equal courtesy [Qur'an4/86]
33. When you enter your own home or the home of somebody else,
compliment the inmates [Qur'an24/61]
34. Do not enter houses other than your own until you have sought
permission; and then greet the inmates and wish them a life of
blessing,purity and pleasure [Qur'an24/27]
35. Treat kindly: Your parents; Relatives; The orphans; And those who
have been left alone in the society [Qur'an4/36]
36. Take care of: The needy, The disabled, Those whose hard earned
income is insufficient to meet their needs; And those whose
businesses have stalled ; And those who have lost their jobs.
[Qur'an4/36]
37. Treat kindly: Your related neighbours, and unrelated neighbours;
Companions by your side in public gatherings, or public
transportation.[Qur'an4/36]
38. Be generous to the needy wayfarer, the homeless son of the
street,and the one who reaches you in a destitute condition
[Qur'an4/36]
39. Be nice to people who work under your care. [Qur'an4/36]
40. Do not follow up what you have given to others to afflict them
with reminders of your generosity [Qur'an2/262]
41. Do not expect a return for your good behaviour, not even thanks
[Qur'an76/9]
42. Cooperate with one another in good deeds and do not cooperate with
others in evil and bad matters [Qur'an5/2]
43. Do no try to impress people on account of self-proclaimed virtues
[Qur'an53/32]
44. You should enjoin right conduct on others but mend your own ways
first. Actions speak louder than words. You must first practice good
deeds yourself, then preach [Qur'an2/44]
45. Correct yourself and your families first [before trying to correct
others] [Qur'an66/6]
46. Pardon gracefully if anyone among you who commits a bad deed out
of ignorance, and then repents and amends [Qur'an6/54, 3/134]
47. Divert and sublimate your anger and potentially virulent emotions
to creative energy, and become a source of tranquillity and comfort to
people [Qur'an3/134]
48. Call people to the Way of your Lord with wisdom and beautiful
exhortation. Reason with them most decently [Qur'an16/125]
49. Leave to themselves those who do not give any importance to the
Divine code and have adopted and consider it as mere play and
amusement [Qur'an6/70]
50. Sit not in the company of those who ridicule Divine Law unless
they engage in some other conversation [Qur'an4/140]
51. Do not be jealous of those who are blessed [Qur'an4/54]
52. In your collective life, make rooms for others [Qur'an58/11]
53. When invited to dine, Go at the appointed time. Do not arrive too
early to wait for the preparation of meal or linger after eating to
engage in bootless babble. Such things may cause inconvenience to the
host [Qur'an33/53]
54. Eat and drink [what is lawful] in moderation [Qur'an7/31]
55. Do not squander your wealth senselessly [Qur'an17/26]

57. Keep yourself clean, pure [Qur'an9/108, 4/43, 5/6]
58. Dress-up in agreeable attire and adorn yourself with exquisite
character from inside out [Qur'an7/26]
59. Seek your provision only by fair endeavour [Qur'an29/17, 2/188]

possessions

Simply, beautiful. This is the side of the Koran that many of those anti-Islamists purposely overlook. |

If you mean the "Islamic" terrorists and not the resistance, then you've got a point.

Yes. We don't need you to tell us. |

Your sympathy for Hiz Ut Tahrir goes against those:
Hizb-ut-Tahir members told Forum 18 that ideally an Islamic state should be formed, as the prophet Mohammed decreed, at the initiative of citizens. However given today's conditions, it was said that such a step "would become a farce, like the so-called European democracy", and so the decision to form an Islamic state should be taken by the most "influential people" (i.e. powerful politicians and businessmen). Ideally it was said, all the countries of the world would join the caliphate although Hizb-ut-Tahir plans to allow non-Muslim countries, such as the United States and the United Kingdom, not to join the caliphate provided that they pay a tax to it. They would then fall under the protection of the caliphate and it would defend their interests. If non-Muslim countries refused to pay the tax, the caliphate would launch military attacks against them.

:ot: Go away, Reason. The Hizb Ul Tahrir I know of is probably something else than this Hizb Ul Tahrir that you've brought up.
This is about guidelines from the Koran, not about some organisation. :ot: |

what's your defining differences between the types of militants?
what do you think of the former Zeitouna system of Islamic education in Tunisia?
also, what is your sect of Islam? Because, Islam is certianly not united in all of it's beliefs. |

Sorry, guys. Off-topic. It won't be addressed here. If you'll be as kindly as to start a thread about these matters or talk about them elsewhere, I would be happy to converse with you about these matters.
This thread is about Koranic guidelines to everyday life. No politics here... just some religious guidelines. |

What this thread is going to be about said guidelines and the focus that other Islamic groups have on them. It's nice to post the pretty side of a religion but, the off color under belly is also a big part of the truth. I understand that Islam is indeed a peaceful religion especially when it is practiced in a peaceful country. But, Islam has been boiling within itself since it's birth in violence.
Politics is what this entire site forum is here for... ...but, my focus is less on the political aspects that infests Islam. (as it infests all religion)
I want to know you're sect of Islam and your take on militant Islam, as a Muslim who resides in the West. |

FYI Judaism started with violence and continued this way until the Jews kingdom was destroyed.
The Christians were also presecuted and attacked by their enemies but they were not numerious enough to fight back. Or that God just didnt want Jesus to have the same mission as Moses. Prophet Muhammed and his followers were also attacked by their enemies and they had to fight to defend themselves. Islam, as you said it youtself, is a peaceful religion, but a muslim should defend himself if attacked but if he attacked first then he is not following the teachings of his religion and so you cant judge his acts as mirrors to his religion teachings. |

My point exactly, as it always has been.
That's why, for example, anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism are different. Similarly, what does fudamentalists Al Qaeda and others do in their attacks is not a mirror on Islamic beliefs. |
