A note from one of our editors:
We have been witnessing the injustice and oppression done by
terrorists taking the lives of innocent people, everywhere.. We have been deeply
touched by the killing and the blood shed that have been taken place by
hands of humans all over the world.
The evil behavior carried out by any radical individuals
under the banner of the religion of Islam, (Submission to God alone), seeking political
or social gain is strongly
objurgated in the Quran. Teachings that
promote aggression, oppression, violence and unjustified killing have no
where in the Quran. Terrorism has no place on earth.
- Quran grants dignity, and freedom of choice to all
man-kind:
[ Quran 17:70] We have honored the children of Adam, and
provided them with rides on land and in the sea. We provided for them good
provisions, and we gave them greater advantages than many of our creatures.
[Quran 2:256] There shall be no compulsion in religion: the
right way is now distinct from the wrong way. Anyone who denounces the devil and
believes in GOD has grasped the strongest bond; one that never breaks. GOD is
Hearer, Omniscient.
[Quran 2:148] Each of you chooses the direction to follow; you
shall race towards righteousness. Wherever you may be, GOD will summon you all.
GOD is Omnipotent.
[Quran 88:21] You shall remind, for your mission is to deliver
this reminder.
[88:22] You have no power over them.
[Quran 73:19] This is a reminder; whoever wills, let him choose the path to his
Lord.
- God condemns oppression by the strongest language:
[Quran 2:191, 2:217] ....Oppression is worse than murder. ...
- God has made life sacred. Killing is absolutely prohibited except for
self-defense and to fight back oppression:
[Quran 17:33] You shall not kill any person - for GOD has made
life sacred - except in the course of justice. If one is killed unjustly, then
we give his heir authority to enforce justice. Thus, he shall not exceed the
limits in avenging the murder; he will be helped.
[Quran 4:29] O you who believe, do not consume each others' properties illicitly
- only mutually acceptable transactions are permitted. You shall not kill
yourselves. GOD is Merciful towards you.
[Quran 2:193] You may also fight them to eliminate oppression, and to worship
GOD freely. If they refrain, you shall not aggress; aggression is permitted only
against the aggressors.
[ Quran 8:39] You shall fight them to ward off oppression, and to practice your
religion devoted to GOD alone. If they refrain from aggression, then GOD is
fully Seer of everything they do.
[Quran 2:191] You may kill those who wage war against you, and you may evict
them whence they evicted you. Oppression is worse than murder. Do not fight them
at the Sacred Masjid, unless they attack you therein. If they attack you, you
may kill them. This is the just retribution for those disbelievers.
- The Quran states that the only differentiating factor between humans is
righteousness:
[Quran 49:13] O people, we created you from the same male and female, and
rendered you distinct peoples and tribes, that you may recognize one another.
The best among you in the sight of GOD is the most righteous. GOD is Omniscient,
Cognizant.
- The Quran states that any one who believes in God, the Hereafter and leads
a righteous life is granted salvation and forgiveness:
[Quran 2:62] Surely, those who believe, those who are Jewish, the Christians,
and the converts; anyone who (1) believes in GOD, and (2) believes in the Last
Day, and (3) leads a righteous life, will receive their recompense from their
Lord. They have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.
- Quran promotes tolerance to others irrespective of
their religious background or lack thereof, as long as it is mutual:
[Quran 60:8] GOD does not enjoin you from befriending those who do not fight you
because of religion, and do not evict you from your homes. You may befriend them
and be equitable towards them. GOD loves the equitable.
[Quran 60:9] GOD enjoins you only from befriending those who fight you because
of religion, evict you from your homes, and band together with others to banish
you. You shall not befriend them. Those who befriend them are the transgressors.
[Quran 8:61] If they resort to peace, so shall you, and put your trust in GOD.
He is the Hearer, the Omniscient.
- Our God is one and the same.The Creator. Master of this whole universe. The
One who sent down to us all prophets and messengers with guidance and knowledge
to worship Him alone and lead a righteous life:
[Quran 2:136] Say, "We believe in GOD, and in what was sent down to us, and in
what was sent down to Abraham, Ismail, Isaac, Jacob, and the Patriarchs; and in
what was given to Moses and Jesus, and all the prophets from their Lord. We make
no distinction among any of them. To Him alone we are submitters."
We, submitters to God alone, are adding our voices to all those who cherish the
human values and rights granted to man-kind by the One God, the Creator. We
definitely share with you the hate of all what the so-called Muslims all over
the world are practicing in the name of Islam. We'll keep declaring, with a very
loud and firm voice that the Quran and this great religion of Abraham
(Submission), both, condemn all kinds, forms, and names of unjustified killings
and blood shed.
We call upon Christians, Jews, Muslims and all
the believers in God to verify the truth about the religion of
Submission (Islam) through this most comprehensive website where we have
the most clear, accurate and modern translation of the Quran by Rashad
Khalifa, Ph.D.
Knowledge is the cure for one's ignorance.
" And you shall know the truth , and the truth shall
make you free."[ The Bible: Jhon 8:32]
"You shall not accept any information, unless you
verify it for yourself. I have given you the hearing, the eyesight, and
the brain, and you are responsible for using them."[ The Quran, 17:36]
The time has now come that we can not remain silent no more. The time
has come that we should take action and try our best to prevent
terrorism in the world. We hope to bring love, peace and tolerance into
this world based on respect, compassion, and a solid foundation of
knowledge.
May God bless all who strive for peace and true
happiness.
