Did we ever find a religion attacked as often as Islam was through the media?
Regardless, that religion is said by The Almighty to have been perfected for mankind:
AI Overview
“This day I have perfected your religion” is
a famous Quranic verse (Surah Al-Ma’idah 5:3) signifying that Islam, as revealed through Prophet Muhammad, is a complete and final way of life, with all core teachings and principles established, marking the completion of God’s favor and approval of Islam as the ultimate religion for humanity.
Islam is a religion and holds a name like no other.
Unlike the other religions who are named after human beings or even places, Islam means Peace through submission to A Superior Being Responsible for all of creation.
Anybody can share what they know here concerning the Perfection of Islam.
Criticisms are welcome and misconceptions shall be cleared hopefully.
Every time, before a Muslim (A submitter to Islam) eats or drinks, s/he has to utter Tasmiyah.
AI Overview
Tasmiyah (or Tasmiyya) refers to saying “Bismillah” (In the name of Allah) before starting an action in Islam, but it also commonly denotes a Muslim naming ceremony for newborns, often held around the seventh day, involving prayers, shaving the baby’s hair, and giving a name, especially in places like Indonesia and South Africa where names like Tasmiyah are also popular personal names.
I will correct the above by changing ‘‘khubusi’’ and ‘‘khabaiss’’ to ‘‘khubuthi’’ and ‘‘khabaith’’.
This would change the syllable from the ‘‘see’’ and ‘‘iss’’ terminational sound to ‘‘th’’ and ‘‘ith’’ respectively, as in ‘‘thatch’’ and ‘‘froth’’ as examples.
Many years ago, someone gave me an official German edition of the Koran. He wanted to convert me because he thought I was nice and didn’t want me to go to hell. At that time, I didn’t believe in anything. I didn’t want the book, but then I read it on the bus ride home. I didn’t start at the beginning, but leafed through it and read here and there. Allah seemed to me to be a very cruel and unjust God. Far from being merciful.
I don’t remember everything, but I do remember:
“Slay the unbelievers wherever you find them,”
“When the unbelievers sin, do not be angry, but rejoice, for the more they sin, the worse I can punish them. I will burn their skin and let it grow back so that I can burn them again and again.”
“It is better to take a slave girl than an unbeliever as your wife.”
Etc., etc.
The entire Koran reads so unpleasantly, as if Allah were not a loving God but a terrible dictator.
I gave the book back to the man and asked if this was the German edition for Islamists. He couldn’t give me a proper answer, saying that these texts were from a different time.
And tell me, Abd, why do you pray toward a black cube? And run around it seven times?
I don’t want to start an argument, but in my view, Islam cannot be perfect. No religion is, for there are the legions of Re.
We pray towards the Ka’bah because it is a common direction for every Muslim to pray towards wheresoever they may find themselves on Planet Earth.
Also, that particular cube has been built by Abraham, the father of Ishmael and Isaac. All of them were His Prophets sent to mankind to guide their respective people.
The ritual of Tawaaf (circumambulation) is deeply symbolic. It is the act of walking seven times around the Kaabah in a counterclockwise direction. It represents the unity of the believers in the worship of Allah, all moving in harmony around a central point.
Moreover, the circumambulation mimics the orbit of the planets around the sun.
It is also said that directly above the Ka’bah is Baitul Ma’mur (The Frequented House), which is a sacred celestial house in the seventh heaven, directly above Earth’s Kaaba, where angels perform pilgrimage (tawaf) and prayers daily, with 70,000 angels entering each day and never returning, continuing this cycle until the Day of Judgment, as mentioned in the Quran (Surah At-Tur 52: Verse 4) and Hadith, serving as the heavenly counterpart to our Kaaba.
It is perfect because through it, one feels secure and at peace with the Commandments of The Almighty, no matter where one may find oneself.
Its commandments and prohibitions are perfect to abide by.
Its promises too comfort the heart.
The message is simple: Love The Almighty more than anything else and obey and fear Him Alone.
For example, simply by praying five times a day, one is guaranteed five gifts the first of which is being Granted one’s necessities with ease.
The second gift for praying five times a day is to be ensured Protection against being punished once in one’s grave after one has died.
I was in South Africa for three-four years recently, from October 2018 to end of 2022, and had to live on the streets for at around six months at least during that time.
I was really not disappointed to have held on to my five daily prayers, that I can promise you.
Even in the absence of water for the performance of my ablutions before my prayers, I still did them ablutions through the use of the dust around me by rubbing thrice on my face therewith and on my arms till my elbows.
Islam is perfect for me because through it, I am ensured salvation by choosing good over evil, and rewards too, for all the good deeds imaginable that are possible should The Almight Bless us with the performances thereof.
No matter your perception of Scripture, there is An Almighty Creator Responsible for you, me, and everybody else.
God Remains The Most Good for constantly Granting everybody, generally, good oxygen to breathe in along with good functioning lungs.
God Remains The Most Good for constantly Blessing most of mankind with good eyes with which to enjoy the sight of the world around us.
Need I mention good ears with which to hear the pleasant voices of our beloved ones too?
Each and every second of existence brings us closer to death and the real success is to die in a state pleasant to The Maker of that soul which animates its respective body.
It doesn’t actually say that the organized religion that calls itself “Islam” is perfect; it says the exact opposite, condemning ALL of the various sects that call themselves “Islam”, along with their satanic rites and rituals (e.g. Sura 6:159; Sura 9:107-111).
The verse that is being butchered in this thread is Sura 5:4, which unsurprisingly CONFIRMS The Law and Gospel accounts while further condemning the sects of “Islam”, all of which are committing “shirk” by partnering the satanic Hadith with God’s Holy Koran/Quran.
Throughout the Old Covenant (where God’s Law is found), New Covenant and Koran, we are warned NOT to join/partner any written-down man-made “oral traditions” with God’s Message of Truth, regardless of whatever irrelevant “chains of transmission” they may claim to have.
Sura 5:4. Forbidden to you (for food) are: dead meat (Lev. 22:8, Deut. 14:21), blood (Lev. 3:17, Lev. 17:10-11), the flesh of swine (Deut. 14:8), and that on which hath been invoked the name of other than “I AM” (Num. 25:1-3); that which hath been killed by strangling, or by a violent blow, or by a headlong fall, or by being gored to death; that which hath been (partly) eaten by a wild animal (Lev. 22:8); unless ye are able to slaughter it (in due form) that which is sacrificed on stone (altars); (forbidden) also is the division (of meat) by raffling with arrows: that is impiety. This day have those who reject Faith given up all hope of your religion: yet fear them not, but fear Me (Matt. 10:28). THIS DAY* I have perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for YOU, submission to My will, as your religion(Matt. 6:9-13). But if any is forced by hunger, with no inclination to transgression, “I AM” is indeed Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
*This leaves absolutely NO wiggle room for men to fabricate additional sayings allegedly attributed to Muhammad AFTER the Koran, like Muhammad al-Bukhari “compiled” over 200 years after the alleged death of Muhammad.
