hello bro, heres a question.

what does islam think of sikhs?

[islamvslizards]

hiya size_of_light and synergy777, ive been a LONG TIME stalker of this site so feel like i know u all already for filthy hellbound western devil infidels you guys are alright lol

SOL:

Jinns are a manner of being that exist on earth, somehow in the same space as us, but not interacting with us generally. what we call "shaytaan" or "iblees" (they are interchangeable), what the bible calles "the devil", WASNT a fallen angel, he was a JINN who after thousands of years of devotion to god (according to the quran) was elevated to a status above that of regular angels, however he refused to bow to adam, and was cast out of heaven.

the quran says the following:

[18.50] And when We said to the angels: Make obeisance to Adam; they made obeisance but Iblis (did it not). He was of the jinn, so he transgressed the commandment of his Lord. What! would you then take him and his offspring for friends rather than Me, and they are your enemies? Evil is (this) change for the unjust.

its actually a really big topic, the jinn. but yeah, they can shapeshift.

to sum up the difference between jinn and men, Jinn were made from FIRE while man (adam) was made from CLAY

so when allah/god/flying spaghetti monster created adam, he instructed all angels and iblis to prostrate before adam, iblis said "hold up buddy, why shud i bow before him, this dudes made from dirt im from fire", which caused him to be cast out.

does that answer ur question? sorry its a pretty big thing to tackle in 1 post lol.

Q:What does Islam have to say about other religions?

loaded question

the quran was revealed throughout the prophets life, when certain events happened. some of the passages were revealed just before a battle, which the prophet had to win or be annhialated. if taken outta context (the context being god saying dont negotiate, you have to fight and win), it gives the impression that islam is saying kill everyone wherever u see em, subjugate all, wipe em out, holy war and so on.

in truth, thats total bullcrap spread by the saudi wahabbi propaganda machine, whose fruits we can all see in todays taleban and other militant organisations.

the actual view on other religions was summed up by the fourth islamic caliph, ali, where he said to his friend:

Remember, Maalik, (his friend who he wrote this letter to) that amongst your subjects there are two kinds of people: those who have the same religion as you have; they are brothers to you, and those who have religions other than that of yours, they are human beings like you.

see the whole letter here


Q:What does Islam have to say about committing acts of violence?

the thing is, islam isnt a pacifist religion. yeah we are taught to have patience, and stay calm, and we are never allowed to start an OFFENSIVE war, but when you HAVE to resort to violence, then how can that be a sin?

i think malcolm X said it pretty well, although his views are a little extreme and slanted towards the NOI:

"There is nothing in our book, the Koran, that teaches us to suffer peacefully. Our religion teaches us to be intelligent. Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to the cemetery. That’s a good religion."
"Message to the Grass Roots," speech, Nov. 1963, Detroit (published in Malcolm X Speaks, ch. 1, 1965).

synergy777:

they are not ahle kitaab (people of the book, i.e. people who prophets from adam to mohammed were sent to guide), so muslims cannot intermarry with them, but they should be respected for their beliefs as fellow humans (see my previous quote from the fourth caliph ali).

however in their book there does seem to be passages or bits and pieces of islamic text. there is a theory by some that guru nannak was actually a shiite muslim, or sufi, who visited the kaaba during his life.

i hope these answer your questions?

i am a sikh, and there are some islamic influences in sikhism. the mool mantra from sikhism and the bismiallah from islam have similar structure/message. sikhism itself draws from hinduism, buddhism and islam.

obviously you know about the history between the islamic mughal empires and india, the conflict/occupation gave birth to sikhism.

i as a sikh, is encouraged to read and understand all religions. the word sikh is sanskrit for disciple/seeker of truth.

i know about islam, and have muslim friends. i too understand the role of the wahabbis's etc.

nice having you onboard bro, welcome.

If a Sufi Leader emerged in the west to kick the ass of all the Sunnis and Shias, what would be left of Islamic Law? What would be the absolute basic necessary social medium to continue being Muslims?

[islamvslizards]

does this answer ur question (all taken from the quran)



[2.2] This Book, there is no doubt in it, is a guide to those who guard (against evil).
[2.3] Those who believe in the unseen and keep up prayer and spend out of what We have given them.
[2.4] And who believe in that which has been revealed to you and that which was revealed before you and they are sure of the hereafter.
[2.5] These are on a right course from their Lord and these it is that shall be successful.



[2.62] Surely those who believe, and those who are Jews, and the Christians, and the Sabians, whoever believes in Allah and the Last day and does good, they shall have their reward from their Lord, and there is no fear for them, nor shall they grieve.



[2.256] There is no compulsion in religion; truly the right way has become clearly distinct from error; therefore, whoever disbelieves in the Shaitan and believes in Allah he indeed has laid hold on the firmest handle, which shall not break off, and Allah is Hearing, Knowing.



[109.1] Say: O unbelievers!
[109.2] I do not serve that which you serve,
[109.3] Nor do you serve Him Whom I serve:
[109.4] Nor am I going to serve that which you serve,
[109.5] Nor are you going to serve Him Whom I serve:
[109.6] You shall have your religion and I shall have my religion.



[2.263] Kind speech and forgiveness is better than charity followed by injury; and Allah is Self-sufficient, Forbearing.
[2.264] O you who believe! do not make your charity worthless by reproach and injury, like him who spends his property to be seen of men and does not believe in Allah and the last day; so his parable is as the parable of a smooth rock with earth upon it, then a heavy rain falls upon it, so it leaves it bare; they shall not be able to gain anything of what they have earned; and Allah does not guide the unbelieving people.



[4.114] There is no good in most of their secret counsels except (in his) who enjoins charity or goodness or reconciliation between people; and whoever does this seeking Allah's pleasure, We will give him a mighty reward.



is that enough?
