Nelson Mandela – Selfless Service to his People

Posted on 09/12/2013

Men who change the course of their nations have many common traits. One such trait is selfless service of their people or in the words of the Holy Quran it is by striving with their persons or their property.

Nelson Mandela was one such person. He gave up what could have been a lucrative law practice to fight for the rights of his people. And then having established the dignity of his people and rid them of tyranny he did not cling on to power but retired to let younger men carry on with running his country.

Death to the Blasphemers

Posted on 08/12/2013

Life imprisonment is not enough for blasphemers; the only permissible punishment is the death penalty, this according to a recent ruling by Pakistan’s Federal Sharia Court, which struck down Section 295 C of the Pakistan Penal Code, leaving the death penalty as the only possible form of punishment. Together with Sections 295 A and 295 B, Section 295 C constituted the so-called ‘blasphemy law’.

In the UK non-Lahore Ahmadi Muslims always tell us that their interpretation of Islam allows minorities complete freedom. Yet when we look at any country where Sunnis are in a majority we find the situation is totally the opposite.

For example, it is common knowledge that in Pakistan Sunnis falsely accuse members of minorities of insulting the Holy Prophet (pbuh) or the Holy Quran. If the accused is set free by the courts he or she is usually then killed by a mob – so much for rule of law.

Now the Pakistan Federal Shariat Court has decided that anyone convicted of blasphemy shall be killed for their “crime” and no other punishment is possible.

Modern Day Slavery

Posted on 05/12/2013

Every week thousands of children in affluent Western countries sit down in their history classes at school and learn about the terrible inhumanities of slavery from hundreds of years ago.

But this is not something which is confined to the history books of the past. Slavery is very much prevalent here and now in these modern times.

In this speech we first look at the direct instructions given in the Holy Quran on what we should be doing to stop and/or reduce slavery in this World, and we then look back at the shameful actions of people during Britain’s periods of owning and using slaves. We compare them to the World today to show that although we may be a more sophisticated people now, nothing has really changed and we still enslave people primarily so that we can turn a profit.

New Inventions

Posted on 04/12/2013

Used for years as an excellent tool for Dawah activities, Islamic websites and social media have been proved as a perfect tool to gather support for the needy, after a successful campaign went viral to offer help for a Muslim heart transplant patient.

Maria’s case went viral at social media after her family launched a fund raising campaign beyond US to save the life of the 31-year-old Muslim.

Under the title ‘Heart for Maria Haroon’, a Facebook page was made to raise money for the operation.

Twitter followers were also able to make contributions for Maria through @HeartForMaria.

Every time something new is launched there is a debate in the Muslim community about whether it is halal or not. As the Promised Messiah Hazrat Mirza Ghulam ahmad said it is not the invention that is halal or not but its use.

The same applies to social media which has attracted a bad press many times. The above quote is a wonderful example of how it may be used positively for the benefit of humanity.

Islamic Law & Christian Persecution

Posted on 03/12/2013

The persecution of Christians is “the greatest story never told in the Western media” and “the vast majority of serious anti-Christian violence is carried out in the name of Islam,” according to Ed West in an article for The Spectator.

Earlier this month, MPs raised concerns about the plight of Christians in the Middle East during a debate at Westminster Hall, highlighting that in relation to Christian persecution virtually every country in the region reported “suffering of either high, high to extreme or extreme suffering.”

Faith Minister Baroness Warsi said in a recent speech: “A mass exodus is taking place, on a Biblical scale. In some places, there is a real danger that Christianity will become extinct.”

Muslims in the Middle East talk a great deal about the rights and freedoms they give to ethnic and or religious minorities. They speak of protection of minorities and freedom of worship.

This article, linked below, shows that this is anything but the truth and that Muslims are driving such a level of discrimination against minorities that soon there could be none left.

Meritocracy

Posted on 27/11/2013

In chapter 49 verse 13 of the Holy Quran, Allah tells us why tribes and families have been created – that it is simply to establish lineage and for no other reason. In this speech we discuss how contrary to Allah’s purpose we use the family name to try and prove to others that we are superior.

Path to Allah

Posted on 27/11/2013

In this extract Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad explains that it is easy to talk and to make claims but what counts are actions. Empty words mean nothing but action is what counts and that is the reason Allah in the Holy Quran always adds action to belief.

Where is the “Muslim World”? A Speech on Media Bias

Posted on 24/11/2013

How are Muslims and Islam talked about in the UK press? This is the question linguist Professor Tony McEnery wanted to answer.

His team looked at the usage of the phrase ‘Muslim World’, and Mr McEnery argues that this phrase, which was used 11,000 times in articles discussing Islam written from 1998 to 2009 by the British press, highlights an unsettling trend in the media — using language that characterizes Muslims as violent and unusual — a trend that, as he shows, has a long history and he asks us to change.

We have set the video above to start playing at 2 minutes and 7 seconds, as this is when Professor McEnery begins his speech on the above topic.

Physical and Natural Laws

Posted on 22/11/2013

The Holy Quran says that the Divine laws under which the universe operates are universal. This doesn’t just apply to physical laws but also to spiritual laws.

So in this speech we compare the two laws and see if they are parallels between them both and what we can learn from these parallels.

Freedom for Women has not changed in Sunni Islam

Posted on 20/11/2013

Kerala’s prominent Muslim cleric Kanthapuram AP Aboobacker Musaliyar has observed that Islam has not changed its obstinate approach with regard to the freedom for Muslim women and their relation with men on the reason that the women were educated.

In an interview with latest issue of Malayalam weekly Mathrubhumi, the influential Sunni leader said the modern times require education for Muslim women. “But that did not mean the Islam has changed its decrees regarding the life of women. Muslim women should not work in a place where only a woman and a man are present. They should go for job only in a place where there are enough number of women and trustworthy men. About 90 per cent of jobs do not require man-women mingling. These rules cannot be changed. The obstinacy still continues,” said Musaliyar, the general secretary of All India Sunni Jam-Iyyathul Ulema.

On women’s mobility, Musaliyar said they should travel only in unavoidable circumstances. These journeys should be for the purposes ratified by Islam. The Islam could not accept the argument that women have to travel extensively these days. If they go out, it should be in the company of male family members or of large group of women.

A Sunni woman’s place is in the home?

Legality, Morality & Practicality Part Two

Posted on 19/11/2013

We gave a speech a few weeks ago with the same title as above and we received many comments on Facebook and via email claiming that the concepts and examples we gave were outdated and no longer relevant.

Rather then reply to each comment we decided to re-visit this topic, so once again we present Chapter 4, verse 59 of The Holy Quran and give recent, modern day examples of how relevant this verse is to life today
