THE REASON ISLAM CALLS YOU KAFIR

Muslims who are truthful will confirm what I say. Muslims who are lying to you would disagree with what I say. But they will disagree with what I say merely so that they would be perceived as moderate or progressive and so that they can get the non-Muslims and non-Malays to vote for them. So in that sense they are dishonest Muslims.

NO HOLDS BARRED

Ravinder Singh wrote a piece that was published in Free Malaysia Today titled Not ‘haram’ for preacher to lie during Ramadan? (READ HERE). The trouble is many Muslims write opinions on Islam or the Qur’an without having any understanding of the subject matter and they base their opinions on what they imagine Islam should be.

If a Muslim were to write about Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc., the non-Muslims would be foaming at the mouth and would be barking like dogs. Anyway, first of all, the Qur’anic reference to non-Muslims is Kafir.

Kafir does not just mean non-Muslims. The meaning of Kafir is deeper than that and is quite derogatory. Kafir means rejecter of the truth. So you non-Muslims are considered as those who reject the truth.

The term Kafir alludes to a person who rejects or disbelieves in Allah and the teachings of Prophet Muhammad and denies the dominion and authority of Allah. Rejecting Allah’s laws, for example, means you are Kafir. So most Muslims will consider all those who reject Hudud or the Shariah as Kafir.

Now, before you Muslims start whacking me and say that I am insulting Islam, or before you non-Muslims start whacking me as well and say that I am running down non-Muslims, just remember that I am merely the messenger and if you do not like the message do not shoot the messenger.

Let me quote what the Qur’an has to say about the matter.

Let not believers take disbelievers (Kafir) as allies rather than believers. And whoever [of you] does that has nothing with Allah, except when taking precaution against them in prudence. And Allah warns you of Himself, and to Allah is the [final] destination. 3:28

Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture – [fight] until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled. 9:29

The Jews say, “Ezra is the son of Allah”, and the Christians say, “The Messiah is the son of Allah.” That is their statement from their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved [before them]. May Allah destroy them; how are they deluded? 9:30

Indeed, Allah has cursed the disbelievers and prepared for them a blaze. 33:64

Our Lord, give them double the punishment and curse them with a great curse. 33:68

So today those who believed are laughing at the disbelievers (kafir). 83:34

So when you meet those who disbelieve (Kafir) [in battle], strike [their] necks until, when you have inflicted slaughter upon them, then secure their bonds, and either [confer] favour afterwards or ransom [them] until the war lays down its burdens. That [is the command]. And if Allah had willed, He could have taken vengeance upon them [Himself], but [He ordered armed struggle] to test some of you by means of others. And those who are killed in the cause of Allah – never will He waste their deeds. 47.4

Indeed, they are planning a plan. But I am planning a plan. So allow time for the disbelievers (Kafir). Leave them awhile. 86:15-17

When your Lord inspired to the angels, “I am with you, so strengthen those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieved (Kafir), so strike [them] upon the necks and strike from them every fingertip.” That is because they opposed Allah and His Messenger. And whoever opposes Allah and His Messenger – indeed, Allah is severe in penalty. 8:13-14

O you who have believed, when you meet those who disbelieve (Kafir) advancing [for battle], do not turn to them your backs [in flight]. And whoever turns his back to them on such a day, unless swerving [as a strategy] for war or joining [another] company, has certainly returned with anger [upon him] from Allah, and his refuge is Hell – and wretched is the destination. 8:16-17

And you did not kill them, but it was Allah who killed them. And you threw not, [O Muhammad], when you threw, but it was Allah who threw that He might test the believers with a good test. Indeed, Allah is Hearing and Knowing. That [is so], and [also] that Allah will weaken the plot of the disbelievers (Kafir). 8:17-18

Those are just some of the many verses in the Qur’an that refer to the Kafir and that tell believers (Muslims) how to deal with Kafir (the rejecters of the truth). Those who tell you that Islam is a religion of peace either does not know Islam or is lying to you. There is nothing peaceful about Islam or even about the other religions of the Book if you were to read the Bible properly and not go into denial mode.

The Abrahamic God is a violent and jealous God who does not tolerate you believing in any other God. You break His commandments and he not only punishes you but will punish the entire community and your whole family as well. And He tells you to fight those rejecters of the truth and to show no mercy until they submit and have been humbled and pay tax or ransom (or are all killed).

Allah also tells you not to side with the Kafir to fight Muslims. And if the Kafir rejects Allah and Allah’s commands and you support them to fight Muslims then you are condemned. So, PAN working with DAP to oppose PAS who only want to uphold Allah’s commands are condemned in Islam. And that is not what I say. That is what the Qur’an says.

So you see, before you Tans, Lims, Chuas, Singhs, Maniams, Balas, Samys, etc., write opinion pieces on Islam or the Qur’an, know that the Qur’an calls you (rejecters of the truth) Kafir and it commands Muslims to fight you rejecters of the truth and for Muslims to not support you in your fight against fellow Muslims.

DAP likes to talk about PAN being moderate or progressive Muslims. Actually the Qur’anic term for this is munafiq. Munafiq are those who are Muslims but who side with Kafir to oppose Islam. To Muslims they will say “I support you” and to Kafir they will also say “I support you”. The Qur’an calls this type of people munafiq.

Muslims who are truthful will confirm what I say. Muslims who are lying to you would disagree with what I say. But they will disagree with what I say merely so that they would be perceived as moderate or progressive and so that they can get the non-Muslims and non-Malays to vote for them. So in that sense they are dishonest Muslims.
