What kind of attitude or mindset Non Muslims can expect from Muslims? To say that mindset of Muslims is or can be influenced by Koranic teachings of perspective of Allah towards Non Muslims is neither illogical nor uncommon sense. After all Muslims believe in infallibility of Koran. Lets see plethora of verses of Allah's view on Non Muslims found in Koran (By no means, the list of the following verses conveying stated message is exhaustive.):
003.032,YUSUF ALI: Say: "Obey Allah and His Messenger": But if they turn back, Allah loveth not those who reject Faith.
022.038,YUSUF ALI: Verily Allah will defend (from ill) those who believe: verily, Allah loveth not any that is a traitor to faith, or show ingratitude.
030.045,YUSUF ALI: That He may reward those who believe and work righteous deeds, out of his Bounty. For He loves not those who reject Faith.
002.098,YUSUF ALI: Whoever is an enemy to Allah and His angels and messengers, to Gabriel and Michael,- Lo! Allah is an enemy to those who reject Faith.
059.019,YUSUF ALI: And be ye not like those who forgot Allah; and He made them forget their own souls! Such are the rebellious transgressors!
058.020,YUSUF ALI: Those who resist Allah and His Messenger will be among those most humiliated.
002.161,YUSUF ALI: Those who reject Faith, and die rejecting,- on them is Allah's curse, and the curse of angels, and of all mankind;
009.030,YUSUF ALI: The Jews call 'Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah's curse be on them (Christians): how they are deluded away from the Truth!
010:100,SHAKIR: And it is not for a soul to believe except by Allah's permission; and He casts uncleanness on those who will not understand.
040.010,YUSUF ALI: The Unbelievers will be addressed: "Greater was the aversion of Allah to you than (is) your aversion to yourselves, seeing that ye were called to the Faith and ye used to refuse."
What this verse conveys is that on the Judgment Day all disbelievers will be lined up before the Hell and then disbelievers 'hate' themselves for not converting to Islam before, so here Angels tell disbelievers that Allah's hatred of you is more than the hatred you have towards yourself at this point.
If Allah hates and curses (personally I can not understand A powerful God cursing and swearing) disbelievers then what kind of opinions Muslims can have towards Kafirs. One can rest assured that those views and opinions will not be of kindness, understanding and tolerance.
Allah loves each one of His creation. And seventy times (that is for understanding purpose) coz who can measure love and that of Allah from where it all springs up? So, here where the punishment is mentioned, its for the people who out of false prides, worldly gains refuse to believe. Ones who rebel. Who disobey. They are the ones who are warned so that they may come back to the guided path, to Love and peace.
ReplyDeleteI read this somewhere about love of mother (she in this world stands as the epitome of love, isn't it?) Allah created her, Allah created that love. Read, if you may ;- My mom only had one eye. I hated her... She was such an embarrassment.She cooked for students & teachers to support the family.There was this one day during elementary school where my mom came toSay hello to me.I was so embarrassed.How could she do this to me?I ignored her, threw her a hateful look and ran out.The next day at school one of my classmates said, 'EEEE, your mom only Has one eye!'
I wanted to bury myself.I also wanted my mom to just disappear.I confronted her that day and said, ' If you're only going to make me a Laughing stock, why don't you just die?'My mom did not respond...I didn't even stop to think for a second about what I had said, because I was full of anger.I was oblivious to her feelings.
I wanted out of that house, and have nothing to do with her.So I studied real hard , got a chance to go abroad to study.Then, I got married.I bought a house of my own.I had kids of my own.
I was happy with my life, my kids and the comforts, Then one day, my Mother came to visit me.She hadn't seen me in years and she didn't even meet her Grandchildren.When she stood by the door, my children laughed at her, and I yelled at Her for coming over uninvited.I screamed at her, 'How dare you come to my house and scare my Children!'GET OUT OF HERE! NOW!!!'And to this, my mother quietly answered, 'Oh, I'm so sorry. I may have Gotten the wrong address,'And she disappeared out of sight.
One day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house.So I lied to my wife that I was going on a business trip.After the reunion, I went to the old shack just out of curiosity.My neighbors said that she died.I did not shed a single tear.They handed me a letter that she had wanted me to have.
'My dearest son,I think of you all the time. I'm sorry that I came to your house and Scared your children.I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion.But I may not be able to even get out of bed to see you.I'm sorry that I was a constant embarrassment to you when you were Growing up.
You see........when you were very little, you got into an accident, and Lost your eye.As a mother, I couldn't stand watching you Having to grow up with one eye.So I gave you mine.I was so proud of my son who was seeing a whole new world for me, in my Place, with that eye.With all my love to you,Your mother.
Now, multiply this love 70 times and you''ll realise how much Allah loves his salves
