Suicide bombing is not from Islam and contradicts the teachings

Why suicide bombing is not Islamic

Recently we heard about a suicide bomber in Kabul who killed many innocent people.

Previously we heard about suicide bombings in Palestine and other places.

For these reasons it is rather sad, not only to hear of innocent people being killed or maimed, but also that Islam is being blamed for such killings.

Islam is a religion that teaches people to have dialogue and to solve issues through other means before resorting to fighting.

When Islam first came about blood shed was greatly reduced and the killing of innocent people was forbidden.

It is so unfortunate that we hear many instances of deaths and atrocities caused by so-called suicide bombings.

What is more unfortunate is when these bombings are carried out by Muslims.

We are then told that this is "Islamic terrorism."

However, Islam does not have or support terrorism.

Suicide bombing itself is something new and has no basis in Islam.

It was actually from the Sumarai Japanese who felt that it was a shame to live. They either died fighting or killed themselves in the end.

In Islam life is life. It is not allowed to take ones own life or someone elses.

Any capital punishment must only go through the court and must have witnesses, evidence and so forth. The certain cases are rare.

Killing women and children is never allowed. Or old people, or those who don't want to be involved.

If someone has carried out suicide bombing it is not Islamic.

They may not enter paradise as well.

It probably happened due to ignorance and people believing it is the way to help their cause, but it is not.

Therefore, as Muslims we cannot accept suicide bombings. Neither the killing of innocent people.

We are asked to speak good and do good to all people, not to harm or take lives.

If we could help people to understand the true understanding of Islam, we would not have to explain such things.

Grey hair: its meaning, causes and treatment according to Islam sources

Grey hair: what does it mean, what are the causes and remedies and is it age related Perhaps it's not the most enlightening or uplifting subject but I thought it an interesting subject to talk about. I don't have grey hair but hope to share what I know about why it occurs, if it can be prevented and reversed and what it means. Since some stereotypes are that grey hair only sprouts after forty. Yet we see people in their thirties or even younger with grey hair at times. At other times some people don't go grey until their sixties or not at all. Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him did not go grey until he was over sixty and this is probably how it should be if we looked after ourselves. It will be interesting to discuss why he may not have had many grey hairs at his passing at 63 years old. Grey hair is said to be one of the first signs of aging, and is often said to coincide with muscle weakening, general weakening of eye sight, hearing and physical strength. It can some...

Freedom of Speech, human rights and Islam: its reality and limitations

Freedom of speech and its limits: comparing human rights law and Islamic law We are often told that modern society has, “freedom of speech.” Freedom of speech is a human right under article 19 of the human rights act and international law as formulated by the UN. Some countries have freedom of speech as part of constitutional law. Freedom of speech, free speech and freedom of expression are often used interchangeably. The term covers activities that involve seeking, imparting knowledge or finding out knowledge regardless of the method used. When we hear that we have freedom of speech we understand that we can say whatever we want. Eleanor Roosevelt and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948)—Article 19 states that "Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers."[1] This was ...

Stress: Islamic advice to deal with it

Stress has been defined as feelings of tension due to psychological, emotional or physical factors. Most people, particularly in the modern world experience some degree of stress. We feel stressed from our jobs, from dealing with difficult people and customers and having to meet deadlines, at school or university. Anything that makes us feel tension can be a source of stress. We can feel stressed in our relationships at times. Maybe we don't feel understood or we have unmet needs. Distress is a negative type of stress, and describes the state of someone experiencing tension. We tend to feel stressed when we feel we are not in control of a situation. The less control we feel the more stressed we feel. New events, even positive, such as moving house, getting married, having a child or starting or leaving a job can all make us feel stressed. Unemployment, lack of provisions and being in unsuitable jobs or relationships can all make us feel stressed. When we feel unde...
