DISCOURSE

The term religious discourse, is a general term, holds many
concepts, according to the telescope of an intellectual that looks through it
to religion, and more precisely according to our concept of religion.
Every one
assays religious discourse in what he considers the real standard, and
classifies this according to the belief of the limits of the sacred space, and
values it by his awareness of the provisions of the sacred.
Religious discourse could be seen in different forms, and even
contradictory, And according to the different concepts and disparate ideas,
this leads us to distinguish between religious discourse derives his thought
and culture of the Book of Allah oh mighty, The fact that the Book of Allah is
carrying all curriculums. Allah says we got you book gives an account of
everything.
And between any speech calculated on religion, derives its thought
and culture, and ignorance is classified within the boundaries of religion, and
provides that this is a religious discourse.
The first point on which we stand then lies in the fact
that the right of religious discourse calls for a culture of love and charity
among all members of society, whatever their religious affiliation and
sectarianism. Allah
forbids you to harm those who warred not
against you on account of religion and drove you not
out from your homes, that you should show them kindness and deal justly with
them. Allah loves the just dealers. (8) Allah forbid you only those who
war against you on account of religion and have driven you out from your homes
and helped to drive you out, that you make should not make friends of them. As
those are wrong-doers. Momtahena 8,
9
God Almighty calls for dealing with the other with justice and
charity, unless they fight us and get us out of our homes, and therefore unity
of the members of the society within the framework of human noble interaction,
is the Quran requirement, no matter how varied religious affiliations and
sectarianism among the people of this community.
This is the right and true religious discourse derived from the
Book of Allah, the Quran. While we see
some aspects of the speech calculated on religion, offering fabricated texts on
the lips of the Prophet – narrations - calling for a culture of hatred and
strife among the people of the same society.
From this, the claim
that the following is the true words of the Prophet in (Sahih Muslim) No.:
(4030), by the (El- Alameya) numbering... Abu Huraira said that the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him
said: Do not meet Jews and Christians with peace and love, as when you meet
someone on the way force him to take the narrowest part of the road. Any sane
human will reject such talk, but orthodox Muslims don’t.
The second point on which we stand then, lies in the fact that
the right religious discourse, calls to non-monopoly of salvation, and to not
recommend self at the expense of others.
Allah says: “Hast
thou not seen those who praise themselves for purity? Nay, Allah purifies whom
He will, and they will not be wronged a bit. (49) See, how they invent
lies on Allah! That of itself is a manifest sin. (50)”.
The right religious discourse calls to the non-monopoly of
salvation, and not to accuse others that they are not right. Allah says: The Jews say the Christians follow nothing (true), and
the Christians say the Jews follow nothing (true); yet both are readers of the
Scripture. Even thus speak those who know not. Allah will judge them on the Day
of Resurrection concerning that wherein they differ.) (Al-Baqara113).
Allah says: (Even thus speak those who
know not), shows us that
accuse others that they are not on anything right, is ignorance to the
provisions of God ... God shows in the holy book that the monopoly of
salvation, which goes to the Muslims and the People of the Book Nothing more
than wishful thinking.
It will be in accordance with neither your desires, nor
the desires of the people of the Scripture. He who does wrong, will be
punished, and will not find against Allah any protecting friend or helper.
(123) And whoso do good deeds, whether a male or a female, and is a
faithful, such will enter paradise and they will not be wronged a bit.( Al-
Nesaa 124)
Therefore, the right religious discourse does not accuse others
that they are not right, not because they are others. While we see that many of those who count
themselves as guardians of the religion of Allah Almighty consider all others
as disbelievers. Even other Islamic
sects and Islamic denominations that is violating them, are considered
disbelievers as we, and claim that their followers whatever work they do are
doomed, and in fire. The great disaster is they are using some fabricated stories on Mohamed,
the messenger. One of these fabricated novels in the book called “Musnad
Ahmad”, number (11763) By Alamya numbering.
Says:- (Anas
bin Malik said: The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him said that the
children of Israel had parted on seventy-two team bands,
and you team like them , all are in the hell but one.)
The third point on which we stand, lies in the fact that the
right religious discourse, calling to spread the religion of Allah, through
wisdom and good advice, not through coercion.
Allah says: Call unto the way of Allah with wisdom,
fair exhortation, and reason with them in a better way. Allah is Aware of him
who strayed away from His path, and He is aware of those who go aright.
(125)
God Almighty does not want to impose
on any one to convert to his religion, as the wisdom of Allah’s reward and
punishment in the Koran is based on freedom of choice, never coercion. The
verses in Quran prove that without any doubt.
And
say it right from your Lord willing, let him believe, and willing, let him
disbelieve. Verily, that we prepared for the wrong-doers fire that will surround them, If they ask for Relief, we will
send upon them water like melted led which will burn their faces. Evil that
brew and it is an ill resting place. (kahf - Cave 29)
And if thy Lord willed, all who are in the earth would
have believed together.
Are you Compelling men until they are believers? (Younis 99).
After all, this divine crystal clear statement, speakers and debaters
are showing us many portrays to call on
God by killing others and the captivity of their money and honor. Asserting
their opinion with a lot of stories hyped on the lips of the Prophet as
narrations.
For example - What is stated in Sahih Bukhari, narration number
(379) By (Al- Alamya) numbering. Anas bin Malik said: The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him was ordered
to fight all the people until they say there is no god but Allah and pray our
prayers, faced our Qebla and slaughtered our sacrifice, only then their blood
and money is forbidden to us.
What should we know is that this speech which is calculated on
religion and put all others in a ditch of hostility, and wants to be held
accountable for other’s beliefs, wasting their blood and money just for being
others, this is not different In essence, from the unbeliever’s speech to
messengers of God. Allah says in describing this fact: (And those who
disbelieved said to their messengers, we will drive you out of our land, unless
you return to our religion. Then their Lord inspired them, (saying): Verily we
shall destroy the wrong-doers. (Ibrahm13).
