okk.. i have a few things to say.. i didnt wanna start a new thread considerin how many of em have already been started.. here are a few quotes from the quran...
16:125. Invite (all) to the Way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious: for thy Lord knoweth best, who have strayed from His Path, and who receive guidance.
2161. In this wonderful passage are laid down principles of religious preaching, which are good for all time. But where are the Teachers with such qualifications? We must invite all to the Way of Allah, and expound His Universal Will; we must do it with wisdom and discretion, meeting people on their own ground and convincing them with illustrations from their own knowledge and experience, which may be very narrow, or very wide. Our preaching must be, not dogmatic, not self-regarding, not offensive, but gentle, considerate, and such as would attract their attention. Our manner and our arguments should not be acrimonious, but modelled on the most courteous and the most gracious example, so that the hearer may say to himself, "This man is not dealing merely with dialectics; he is not trying to get a rise out of me; he is sincerely expounding the faith that is in him, and his motive is the love of man and the love of Allah."
2162. It may be that the Preacher sometimes says to himself, "What is the use of teaching these people? they have made up their minds, or they are obstinate; or they are only trying to catch me out," Let him not yield to such a thought. Who knows how the seed of the Word of Allah may germinate in people's minds? It is not for man to look for results. Man's inner thoughts are known best to Allah
yet you continue to discuss with us by insulting us... it only pisses off ppl and doesnt make your argument any stronger... and im quotin passages from your holy book... dont preach what you dont practise...
49:11 O ye who believe! Let not some men among you laugh at others: It may be that the (latter) are better than the (former): Nor let some women laugh at others: It may be that the (latter are better than the (former): Nor defame nor be sarcastic to each other, nor call each other by (offensive) nicknames: Ill-seeming is a name connoting wickedness, (to be used of one) after he has believed: And those who do not desist are (indeed) doing wrong.
17:53. Say to My servants that they should (only) say those things that are best: for Satan doth sow dissensions among them: For Satan is to man an avowed enemy.
2238. This command refers to two situations. (1) Even to your enemies and the enemies of Allah you should speak fair: who are you to judge others? Judgment belongs to Allah alone, for He knows you (i.e., all mankind) best, and your personal knowledge is at best imperfect. And Satan is always trying to divide mankind. (2) Amongst yourselves, also you should not entertain suspicions, but speak politely according to the best standards of human speech. A false or unkind word may destroy all your efforts at building up unity, because the forces of disruption are more numerous than the forces of unity.
so again... im asking you... be civil and everyone in this forum will respond more favourably to your arguments even if disagreement follows.... there is no harm in ppl disagreeing... the only harm is when one person tries to impose what they believe on others and claim that to be the ultimate truth... you think that by insulting others will make others suddenly start believing in Islam? it serves no purpose...
you think islam is the way to go... i dont...
you give your argument... i give my argument.
you don't agree with mine... i dont agree with yours..
we part amicably with our views while gainin knowledge about different viewpoints and perspectives...
KHALLAS.. end of story...
its quite simple...
dont tell ppl that they are gonna burn in hell or wateavahh just cuz they are disputin what you are saying... every ad hominem and threat is counter productive to what you are trynna prove...
anywayzz.. i hope you do get what im saying... everyone here can end this senseless fighting and honestly im tired of new threads about the same topics springin up like babies in india...
i hope what i said is absolutely crystal clear...
