May the Peace, Mercy and Blessings of God be upon you,
My name’s Nora, a Saudi and a very proud Muslim, I say without a doubt there is no deity worthy to be worshipped but Allah and Muhammad is His last Messenger.
“Our lord! We have heard the call of one calling (us) to faith, `believe ye in the lord’, and we have believed. Our lord! Forgive us our sins blot out from us our iniquities, and take to thyself our souls in the company of the righteous.”(the holy Quran 3:193).
I hope this blog site will help you to understand Islam, and to remove all the misconceptions about Islam, and see the truth with an honest and open heart.
The current situation is a trial as well as an opportunity for Muslims: We shouldn’t feel depressed about the attacks on Islam…because everything is going according to Allah’s plan. His plan is being carried out slowly but surely.
Do you know that there are 1.6 billion Muslims out there!! making Islam the second largest religion in the world !! Islam is the fastest growing religion on earth !! despite the misconceptions, Islam is spreading.. when some people attacking Islam in major campaigns, in fact they are attracting people to look into Islam and causing them to accept it. They say “why are those people attacking Islam, so let me do my research” ..after couple weeks, they become Muslims..thanks to Allah Almighty ..
it just reminds me of this verse:
“They want to blow out the light of Allah with their mouths. But Allah will perfect His light. Even though the Polytheists may detest it. It is He who sent his Messenger with Guidance and the True religion (way-of-life), to make it eclipse all other religions, even though the Polytheists may detest it” (the noble Quran 61:8-9)
The media and government etc. try to blow out the light of Islam, by saying things with their mouths, their words, to put people off Islam…but Allah will complete and perfect his guidance, even though the disbelievers may detest it.
The humiliation is not for Islam. Islam will carry on spreading..
“So do not become weak, nor be sad, and you will be superior, if you are indeed (true) believers.” (the holy Quran 3:139)
To the Atheist:
Nothing creates nothing. Nothingness cannot create something. Something has to create something
“Were they created of nothing, or were they themselves the creators?” (the Noble Quran 52:35)
To the Christian and Jew:
We follow the religion of Abraham (peace be upon him) who was neither a Jew nor a Christian. And Abraham did not believe in a trinity.
“They say: Become Jews or Christians if you would be guided (To salvation).” Say: “No! (we follow) the religion of Abraham the True, and he joined not gods with Allah.” (the Noble Quran 2:135)
“Say: ‘O People of the Book (i.e., Jews and Christians)! Come to common terms as between us and you: That we worship none but Allah; that we associate no partners with Him; that we erect not, from among ourselves, Lords and patrons other than Allah.’ If then they turn back, say ye: ‘Bear witness that we (at least) are Muslims (bowing to Allah’s Will).’ (The Noble Quran, 3:64)”
To the Idolater :
Anything you worship besides Allah is only a created thing
“Those whom they invoke besides Allah create nothing and are themselves created”( the Noble Quran 16:20)
To the Polytheist:
“Say: He is Allah, the One and Only; Allah, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him” (the Noble Quran ,chapter 112)
May Allah guide you to Paradise with His abundant wisdom and mercy.

Hello,
My name is Katia. I attend the Unviersity of Vermont and as part of a course on “Gender in the Middle East” I can required to review different blogs of Middle Eastern men and women. I was intrigued by your blig due to its strong religious perspective. I looked over your category on ‘women’ and enjoyed reading your passionate interpretation of the Quran on ‘womans position in islam’. I agree with you that it is a common misconception, especially in western thinking, that Muslim women are in constant need of saving from patriarchal oppression. I suppose it stems from a confliction of traditions with a touch of ethnocentric thought. Women in the west are still not completley free and equal as some may claim ( i.e. salary, job positions) and are not free from a double standard mentality. I look forward to reading your blog.
best,
Katia

thanks for your various comments on this blog. just a question on Abraham,. He did not believe in the trinity but neither does a Jew. Tne noble quran 2:135 is confusing (forgive my ignorance), becuase the Jews never joined any others to Allah, why then does the verse say so?
Thank you sister

Isthere a difference in substance, equlity or function between God, Elohim or Allah? Or are these all simply different languages attempting to credit the One God of the Unjiverse?

@rico : This same Q was raised at the time of Prophte Mohammed (PBUH) and he answered that dont you Jews say permissible to what your scholars say and forbid what your scholars say…they answered yes this verse points to this attitude…we are supposed to follow the divine guidance not the scholars.(I have just quoted jist of the saying check for the exact saying on net)
