How Should Muslims Deal with Non-Muslims

[MilitiaGuy]

We are living in a society composed of Muslims and non-Muslims together. They are our neighbors, our co-workers, and our classmates. We should work with them, especially in humanitarian projects. Islam teaches us to care for all people regardless of their faith or their opinions.

As human beings, their life is to be protected. Their property is to be protected. Their honor is to be protected. And the freedom of religion is there (for them), and their families must be protected. So these are the basic values the Shari`ah emphasizes. These values are universal for all human beings. We should show our friendship and goodness to them. Allah says in the Qur'an:

"Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you in the matters of your religion and those who did not expel you from your homes, that you show them courtesy and kindness and act justly with them because Allah loves those who are Just." (Al-Mumtahanah: 8)

So those who respect your religion and human rights, then you should deal with them in kindness and courtesy and have good dealings with them especially in matters of human welfare and well-being.

Allah says, "Co-operate with each other in matters of righteousness and piety and do not co-operate in matters of aggression and sin." (Al-Ma’idah: 2)

When you are with them (non-Muslims) it does not mean you forget your religion. So when it is time to pray you must pray. When eating with them be sure to observe the Halal. If there is a mixed gathering of males and females, remember to observe the Islamic manners of how to act in such instances. Remember that Islam commands good behavior and good dealings with all people."

Explaining some issues of working with non-Muslims, Dr. Siddiqi adds: "We should work with them and live with them honorably. Look at Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). His uncle, Abu Talib was not a Muslim but still he respected his uncle and cared for him and vice versa. His uncle was good to him and would help him.

I see you get bored with your own thread fast and open new ones in search for some....? What is it you're looking to get out of this anyway?

[Pale Horse]

I completely agree but where is the hidden agenda in your message. Do you completey agree with this statement?

It seems to me that to use a hypothetical if you pick a fight with one Muslim then you have picked a fight with all of them. That is not reasonable. Please explain to me why your varying sects have been killing each other for thousands of years and can't live side by side. I am not being sarcastic to you for probably the first time so please give me some thoughtful responses.

[FCECC2]

M'guy him glad you finally post something about peaceful tougth. but since its only written in book, what is your opinion about this? Only your please.

[jbigdog69]

Don't you have something more interesting to talk about. Not everyone is in to religion due to the political nature it has evolved to. I hope that no one else will comment on this post so this guy will go away. Go crawl up in a corner and beat your head up against the wall and then come back and post something worthy of an aas board.

if u mean the fights btw shiite muslims and suni muslims well they r few and we live in peace together my mother is sunni and my father is shiite not only a shiit but a "sayid" so my friends call me "sayid myname" and they lived together we dont have too mush difference exept about who had the right in khilafa ALi (pbuh) or mouawiya and about a timed sex only marriage that shiit have and sunnis forbid this marriage.but the wahhabis like binladen consider us the shiite muslims heretics and they see that they should kill us all well a relative of my mother is wahabis and he once told her that her marriage is illegal because my father is shiite.i hope i answered your question

[Pale Horse]

Yes to some degree. It would be nice if Muslim people could just all accept each other and people with differences no matter what.

I will say that your culture confuses me as mine does yours. I just totally disagree with terrorism for any reason.

Why even post this, I find it offending talking about allah and fighting and all this religous stuff. Post this on another site....

[Devourer]

If you find it of offensive stay out of the thread......if MG wants to talk about his culture ( without being a dick ) etc what is wrong with that?

Nothing wrong with it but why? Why post it on Anabolic Review. I am not the only one that thinks this way. You don't see me preaching god and what is right and wrong religously on this board. You want to know why, because it doesn't even remotely apply.... I see enough of this shet on the news. And believe me I AM NOT TRYING TO OFFEND ANYONE AND THERE RELIGION OR BELIEFS. Just keep it to yourself....

Dis regard everything I said. I do not want to offend anyone and obvoiusly this is an offending thread to some. I recieved like 2 pm's and don't really care about the matter enough to post again. I apologize to anyone I offended....

[jbigdog69]

Because it is like spreading cancer. He is like a disease trying to infest us all with all of the religious bulls h i t . He is a lonely little man hidding behind his religeon trying to seek the truth between right and wrong. He already has the truth but cannot stand the fact that he is what he is. Mguy, I just say you pull the f u c k i n g trigger bro and get it over with. If my life was as miserable as yours I would pull it. Let me know if you need some help. Mguy=infestation=cancer=Ar=infected

[bad_man]

Jeezus, what am I missing? Doesn't M-Guy's initial post communicate peace? What the hell is everyone pissed off about?

Russ, where is M-Guy preaching? He's simply stating that - contrary to the beliefs of many here - Muslims are not out to kill all non-Muslims, but that they intend to coincide peacefully. I was glad to read this post.

M-Guy, I extend my quasi-christian, somewhat agnostic hand to you my brother.

[decadbal]

mguy has a bad past, this thread is a great stray from some ive read, i think he should be able to say what he likes, we all bash his ppl, and disrespect his religion, i dont like it when he does us, but he has the rights to...

[Rickson]

I don't understand why people would get upset at this thread. Many people post religious and political threads and this one seems to be his most peaceful. Hopefully it is a step in the right direction.

[Rugby13]

What I don't understand is when people say this thread has nothing to do with AAS, take it to another board or place. THIS IS A LOUNGE....anything goes. Go to the steroid forum to talk about AAS. Anyway I don't particularly like Mguy's posts either but like Rickson said this one is not the saem as the others, it actually portrays piece. And as far as teh religion threads go, once again this is the lounge and people can talk about ANY topic so if you don't lik religion threads, don't open them. There are plenty of other threads to view instead.

[barbarian]

i think its all a bunch of total BS!!!!!!!!! i dont wana see some dumb sh!t on AR and nobdoy else does....arnt terriost the ones who cut of bergs head?? YES arnt terriost the ones who blew up the twin towers?? YES arnt terriosts the ones who car bomb and sucide bomb the fuk outa everything?? YES!!!!!! then why do we alow PRO terriost dumbasses on AR?? EXPAIN THAT

[Rugby13]

I understand what you're saying barbarian but I was moret alking about the fact that people say take a thread to another board, it has nothing to do with AS. I also agree that terrorist talk should be forbidden but from what I read in this thread, and this thread only, nothing was being said about terrorism. But I agree with you about the zero toleration to terrorism bro!!!

I missed the part where it says i should strap a bomb to my chest and blow up innocent people. I must have missed it let me read it again.

Hmmmmm that's strange i did'nt see the passage in the bible saying that you should be a racist and kill people who are different.

Touche. Nice one Big K.

[chicamahomico]

This is the type of post I like to see. Maybe MGuy could explain some of Islamic customs so people (non-Muslims) can better understand the how and why behind some of the things (fasting, no booze, yadayda) Muslims do (and do not do). People angry about this post need to broaden their perspective IMO.

[UrbanLegend]

Hmmmmm that's strange i did'nt see the passage in the bible saying that you should be a racist and kill people who are different.

He is not saying that people who do that in the name of Christianity are correct, they are just as hypocritical as the members of Islam that claim this Jihad is a war where they can kill innocent people. Two wrongs do not make a right.

As for MilitiaGuy, get a life! What do you expect to get out of these threads? Do you even work out, or do you just come here to this kind of stuff? You know these threads tend to get out of hand and make people upset with the way the situation is between the Middle East and America right now, why don't you go to a religion discussion board and post there?

Ok toolbox i was aiming that comment at Mguy not all muslims. I thought it was kind od odd hes posting this and supports so strongly those who do the exact opposite of what this passage potrays.

Let me ask you this, MGuy . . .
What about atheists, doubters, skeptics, scoffers, blasphemers, and unbeleivers--is Islam tolerant about these folks as well?

Cause of the large porpotion of America that is ignorant on Islam. Many think Islam=terroist. Its sad, esp when this country was supposed to be founded on religious freedom... Although its a bull**** twist for terrorist to even begin to think they are really following true jihad or that Allah is proud. They did it in the crusades and all the wars of europe over protestant vs catholic though as well.


Most Christians dont realise that Muslims, Jews, and themselves all pray to the same God.


MG, I liked your post (this one at least ). I havent read teh Qua'ran myself all the way through yet (just a few lines here and there), but Id like to (even though I dont speak Arabic and should to read it properly).

Easy there thunder, you're so worked up you can't even spell! lol

[Spoon]

Easy there thunder, you're so worked up you can't even spell! lol

haha, never even noticed that quiz bee

[Elliot]

We should all read from our respective holy scriptures right before working out, and afterwords hug someone of a diffrent diffrent religion... Just my two cents..

[Spoon]

we are all family. all of us are from the same human tree. christians, buddhists, islams, etc. etc. worship one in the same God. Although we have different religions and different thoughts of mind, do you think its worth killing each other for? all our religions preach the same thing, unless you are a satanist of course!

all religions are based on love, charity and mutual love for one another. do you think A higher power give a rat's azz whether we are catholic, islam or jewish? there is no one true religion. The one God would not approve of us fighting each other in his name. lets take this time to relect that we are all bros in this most difficult of times. peace all!

[Carlos_E]

I have no clue why everyone is getting upset. M'Guy for once is actually posting something worth reading. For those who say his religious message doesn't belong here. You need to flame Jason's threads about Christianity and the bible. I don't see you guys getting heated and pissed off about that.

[barbarian]

well this one isnt bad..its all the others..and the underlying message....and christians ARNT terriist bro
