  • Are the Taliban Islamic? Is it enough to be claiming to follow the Quran and Sunnah to be considered proper Muslims? What about other groups like ISIS? What are the rules of interpreting hadith and Quran? How are Islamic rules created? What is shariah law? Usool al fiqh?

    I am a part of online Russian speaking ex Muslim group based in Moscow and I know how many Afghani refugees are there now, mostly women and kids… it’s heartbreaking. There is a growing presence of ex Muslim women in Russia, mostly from the Caucasus region , we often chat and they mention so many English speaking ex Muslim CZcamsrs. Thank you for being here for us, Abdullah!

      The "scholars" created Islam the way it is today. Without the details of Mohammad and the Sahaba as their example, they could not have jurisprudence. Sharia law is like the Talmud with "interpretations". The Quran is vague and ambiguous, coming from a primitive Nabatean Arabic script, so the scholars had to find ways to explain the meaning according to a context in a supposed historical way. The hadith are just further exaggeration and propaganda of Islam. For example, how did the scholars come to the conclusion that the owners of the elephant were in the Quran 105.1? The Quran mentions no details who they were. You go to the Sunnah which is created later, then you find the who the owners of the elephant were, they were Aksumites, and the story makes no sense, and it is historically questionable. To invent a religion, you need to give exclusive authority to certain people to create an orthodoxy. The hadith and the Quran in certain things also contradict each other. The Sunnah was created at a later time. So yes, Islam can technically evolve or mutate over time just as it did coming from influences of Judaism and later Christianity.

    • @RobespierreThePoof
      @RobespierreThePoof Před 7 měsíci +1

      Forgetting everything screwy about Islam for a moment ... The role of Islamic scholars in the history of the religion is actually fairly interesting. During the Islamic Golden Age, there was a great flourishing of scientific, theological, legal and mathematical thought. And that all happened in the madrasa of great cities like Baghdad. They benefitted from being right at the center of the silk road with ideas, knowledge and goods flowing in and out from both Europe and Asia.
      So, the Islamic scholar is a centuries-old holdover from that great moment in the middle ages.
      What's sad is that those glory days ended centuries ago. And the religion is one of the things that has held islamic civilization back from adapting to modernity. The Ottomans failed to modernize, then they collapsed - and with them came the ruin of the Middle East.
      So those Islamic scholars represent a tradition that is very much stuck in the past -unable and unwilling in most cases - to adapt, even for the benefit of Muslims from Casablanca to Jakarta.
      It is perhaps the greatest tragedy of the modern world.

      @Art Becher Numbers is in the Torah. The Quran claims allah is the author of the Torah. So if you condemn the god of Numbers, you are condemning your allah.
      So how to you explain the mutawatir hadith - On the authority of Abdullah ibn Umar (ra):
      The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "I have been ordered to fight against the people until they testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and until they establish the salah and pay the zakat. And if they do that then they will have gained protection from me for their lives and property, unless [they commit acts that are punishable] in Islam, and their reckoning will be with Allah." [Bukhari & Muslim]
      So why would Muhammad be threatening peoples lives and property?

    • @chrisazure1624
      @chrisazure1624 Před 3 lety

      @Art Becher It is you who accuse God of evil when you condemn the actions in Numbers while you fail to understand that scripture is claimed by Muhammad is from allah in his Quran.
      I don't consider the Quran scripture at all.
      The last I checked, Afghanistan is in the hands of the Muslim Taliban. It is they who are in charge and committing the atrocities. Yet you want to blame the US for trying to police the barbaric tribal mentality of Islam.
      The hadith I quoted is used by Muslims scholars to justify jeehad. You can't twist your way out by claiming it was only "I" Muhammad as the Quran tells you the Muhammad is an example for you to follow. Your sophistry is clear.

    • @chrisazure1624
      @chrisazure1624 Před 3 lety +1

      @Art Becher If you don't follow the Torah, then I have bad news for you, you don't follow the Quran.
      Quran 3:3 He has revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ the Book in truth, confirming what came before it, as He revealed the Torah and the Gospel
      4:136 O ye who believe! Believe in Allah and His Messenger, and the scripture which He hath sent to His Messenger and the scripture which He sent to those before (him). Any who denieth Allah, His angels, His Books, His Messengers, and the Day of Judgment, hath gone far, far astray.
      Your task is to explain why the Quran claims that the Torah comes from allah, that allah promises to protect his word, but he didn't mean he would protect the Torah.
      We have the Torah in the original language Hebrew. We also have translations so us non-Hebrew speakers can understand the meaning. Your statement is clear you are ignorant about the Bible.
      What you are trying to do is deflect. We know that evil exists in the hearts of men and evil is done by all peoples and all cultures. That is just evidence that the natural state of man is towards evil. That is why we need a savior.
      What I condemn Islam for is the evil it produces while claiming to be from allah. It teaches bigotry and violence to spread the message of allah. The real Jesus taught us to be peaceful and turn the other cheek. Not so with Islam. It is a faith of retribution.

Women did have rights, and in some tribes/religions more rights than those found in Islam. The perfect, although unquestioned example is Khadejah. A woman who inherited all of her husbands business, ran it successfully, proposed marriage to mohamed, didn’t wear hijab, the first convert, funded the initial spread of the religion… she had more rights as a non-Muslim woman than when she was Muslim

    So to cut a long story short to quote Yasir Qhadi, they are all Qur'an. They are all Islamic.
    I disagree with Abdullah Sameer in several ways. I don't think that those who don't accept Muhammad as some sort of model for all time, and don't follow the Muhammad of the Qur'an and hadiths and tafsir are true Muslims. They ought to just accept that and declare that they have already left Islam. They are shoring up the Taliban and Isis and the salafi and the deobandi etc.
    And quite frankly I am shocked to hear Sameer, of all people, saying that the apostates that were persecuted under Abu Bakr only left Islam because they didn't want to pay zakat. The truth is that they knew how false Muhammad was. They knew how he kept changing his teachings to suit his circumstances. They had heard many of the other contradictions in the Qur'an and wanted to go back to the religions of their ancestors or another religion that was at least stable.
    This garbage about only not wanting to pay zakat is an islamist slur to not accept that the apostates had good reason for not believing in Islam, and were only practising it under fear of death.

    Interpretation is also a very controversial issue even in the Bible, interpretation does not depend on "what is should be", but "what it is". And this depends on material forces and power. Nowadays, the Islam is the Islam of petroleum. For instance, in Protestantism same case was exposed of Bible interpretation, this "liberty" turned into a national chirch. This is worse because the church becomes a state entity.

    Great breakdown of describing the difficultly to find uniformity around a single interpretation. Coming from a Christian background, this can be seen within the Christian world. When the freedom to think is allowed, the ideologies diversify. Each individual forms their own beliefs on their own authority. We are moving toward 7 billion + interpretations of the TRUTH. Individualistic human ideologies rather than groupthink structures.

    Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.
    Quran 9:29
    Explanation of verse 9:29
    Allah then commanded fighting the disbelievers when He said:
    (...until there is no more Fitnah) meaning, Shirk. This is the opinion of Ibn Abbas, Abu Al-Aliyah, Mujahid, Al-Hasan, Qatadah, Ar-Rabi, Muqatil bin Hayyan, As-Suddi and Zayd bin Aslam.
    Allah's statement:
    (...and the religion (all and every kind of worship) is for Allah (Alone).) means, So that the religion of Allah becomes dominant above all other religions.' It is reported in the Two Sahihs that Abu Musa Al-Ashari said: "The Prophet was asked, O Allah's Messenger! A man fights out of bravery, and another fights to show off, which of them fights in the cause of Allah' The Prophet said:
    (He who fights so that Allah's Word is superior, then he fights in Allah's cause.) In addition, it is reported in the Two Sahihs:
    (I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight the people until they proclaim, `None has the right to be worshipped but Allah'. Whoever said it, then he will save his life and property from me, except for cases of the law, and their account will be with Allah.)
    The Order to fight until there is no more Fitnah
    Tafsir Ibn Kathir
    Fight them till there is no sedition, no idolatry, and the religion, all worship, is for God, alone and none are worshipped apart from Him; then if they desist, from idolatry, do not aggress against them. This is indicated by the following words, there shall be no enmity, no aggression through slaying or otherwise, save against evildoers. Those that desist, however, are not evildoers and should not be shown any enmity.
    Surat Al-Baqarah (The Cow) 2:193
    Tafsir al-Jalalayn
    Verse 2:193
    Fight them until there is no [more] fitnah and religion and every kind of worship is for Allah alone.
    Quran 2:193
    Explanation of verse 2:193
    (Fight against those who believe not in Allah, nor in the Last Day, nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth among the People of the Scripture,) This honorable Ayah was revealed with the order to fight the People of the Book, after the pagans were defeated, the people entered Allah's religion in large numbers, and the Arabian Peninsula was secured under the Muslims' control. Allah commanded His Messenger to fight the People of the Scriptures, Jews and Christians, on the ninth year of Hijrah, and he prepared his army to fight the Romans and called the people to Jihad announcing his intent and destination. The Messenger sent his intent to various Arab areas around Al-Madinah to gather forces, and he collected an army of thirty thousand. Some people from Al-Madinah and some hypocrites, in and around it, lagged behind, for that year was a year of drought and intense heat. The Messenger of Allah marched, heading towards Ash-Sham to fight the Romans until he reached Tabuk, where he set camp for about twenty days next to its water resources. He then prayed to Allah for a decision and went back to Al-Madinah because it was a hard year and the people were weak, as we will mention, Allah willing.
    "The Order to fight People of the Scriptures until They give the Jizyah".

    9:28
    "O you who have believed, indeed the polytheists are unclean, so let them not approach al-Masjid al-Haram after this, their [final] year. And if you fear privation, Allah will enrich you from His bounty if He wills. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Wise."

    @Friendly Exmuslim I think a person can choose peace or violence and support it with Islamic scriptures. If a person like peace, he will choose from the peaceful side and if the person is violent he choose from the violent side. The problem is when a person that is on the peace side decide to switch over to the violence side. The two sides are all valid options that can be supported with Islamic scriptures. And when it comes to interpretation, the interpretation cannot go against the teachings of the prophet. In my opinion, I think the best interpretation will be the interpretation by the prophet and the best generation of Muslims instead of modern day scholar that invent new things and add them to Islam.

    The Taliban’s is part of a school/interpretation of Islam(don’t remember which).
    But what we see around the world in these movements(religious extremism) are a effect and combination of social political issues and so on.
    And if we take a historical look at Islam we see that the standardization of the faith didn’t begin until over 100 years after Muhammad’s death(Sira and Sunnah). Especially since the conflicts within the faith was becoming to be a problem.
    And as you are pointing out, the sects and the interpretations within the faith has grown since the early days and are still ongoing.

    ...ofc, this is all human effort, therefore to read or lets better say to study the Quran and the Sunna is a Must for every Muslim.
    It is like Working and getting Money as a Reward. Of Course, the Reward by learning about the Islam and the Quran is higher :)
    2:25 yep, nice said, an Hadith can not cancel something from the Quran.
    Because the Quran is the Word of God. And the Hadith are (allegedly, as long as not proven by Science) something said or done by the Prophet Mohammad.
    2:55 If you are not sure if a Hadith is authentic or within the logic of the Quran, then dont take it into consideration.
    (There is a whole Science behind checking if hadith are authentic or not.)
    3:55 ou come on... That God is not like his Creation should be clear every Muslim. Ever Muslim who prays, prays it every day, often (Sura Ihlas)
    04:30
    Islam is not about Khalifat-Things. This is Politics.
    05:03
    the twelve tribes are (so know i) alsways related to the Children of Israel.
    05:20
    yes, thanks. The Teerorists make Assumptions without studying the Quran. That God is Mercyful, is so often mentioned in the Quran and that we greet each other with Salam (Peace or: i wont harm you)...should be enough. Besindes that is selfmurder haram. Besides that, killing someone is haram.
    So i really dont know how this psychopats come to their conclusion.
    6:55
    hahaha... ok... that was your prepared point. How i said, hadith are within the logic of the Quran or they dont count.
    Because the Quran is Preserved. The Hadith are not.
    Hadith are more like a "Best Practice". So Dividing or making Groups, just because you think that this or that hadith is true and that not... is totally irrational for a Muslim. But you are right, they divide themselves, it happens.
    07:08
    You know what, the hate is strictly going against the "Disbelievers"... Who are they? That was the Elite from Mekka, who chased away Mohammed, his Family and his Friends. And after that they tried to kill them in Medina. After Islam was accepted by the Medina-People, the attacked Medina.
    They made up some contracts with Mohammed and broke it then, to take advantage and to kill Mohammed.
    This are the "Disbelievers".
    And ofc after years of attacks, enough is enough, so this Sura has stricter tone. Thats it.
    (This was valid for the time of the Prophet, for him and his tribe.)
    07:15
    Only again this mentioned "Disbelievers".
    Which is understandable who knows about the history that The early Muslims were murdered as often as possible by the Elite of Mekka (the so called Disbelievers)
    07:47
    "for whatever reason" 🤣🤥
    ...maybe because the Islam is a peaceful Relgion? Thought about it?
    What would happen if the more than 1 Billions Muslims were as violent as you want it to show to your audience?
    Think about it 🤔😄
    08:08 ... yes, more than a billion People are Violent on this planet... dude... come on, really?! 🤣
    08:40 no my friend, the Quran (Not the Book itself, the words) is a miracle. Surely the Author is God himself.
    08:43
    In Sura El-Fatiha, we pray every day, 5 times:
    "...Guide us along the Straight Path,
    the Path of those You have blessed-not those You are displeased with, or those who are astray."
    There is one Gods straigh Path. Thats it.
    This is no Philosophy, where after a discussion everyone is right and has his own truth.
    So your argument is weak man...
    08:57
    i dont see any arguments here. There are no Contradictions in the Quran (The Word of God). The Valiances are sometimes not that exact. Thatswhy you have to study the Quran in Arabic. The Arabic from the Time of the Prophet. With all the Meanings of the words. This is studiying. Although, the valiances are ok to read as a non-arab. You should get a version with the wordsmeaning at that time. And you are ready to start exploring a wonderful religion.
    09:58
    hm... let me think
    islamic law...the so called sharia...
    The arabs used to burry their newborn alive, if it was a girl. Therefore God sends a Verse. (So you are for such a practice?) Wait... it is aswell part of the islamic rules that The people who took Orphans in their home, that they dont spend the money of the orphans like they want (So you are for such a practice?).
    So what are you talking about?
    A ok... the Chopping thing. How many robberies are now in our "civiliazed world"? How many people die by robberys?
    I was in Dubai a long time ago. I lost my wallet, with cash, credit cards, an more. Easy for bad people. You know what... i got it back in an hour, because the taxi driver was so scared, that he brought it back personally and as soon as possible.
    I dont mind if criminal people get a hard penalty, when the law protects the innocent people. I think alone the thinking of walking without hands, would prevent a huge percentage of possible robberys to happen.

    So you agree that it's futile, as a non-Muslim, to try to argue that some Muslims are interpreting the Qur'an or the Hadith wrong, or that they should choose a different, more peaceful interpretation because it's possible? It's all moot, because Muhammad clearly wasn't a prophet, and that's the message that should be promoted.
    But I think it'd be kinda hypocritical of a Christian or a Jew to say that Islam is made up. To some extent, all god-believers help perpetuate the idea that there's an invisible ethereal ultimate authority whose commands are above all human laws, and that some things can and even should be held as true without evidence. All unfounded assertions should be questioned, even if they are called "religion" and held "sacred" by billions.
