#NoHaters | Why you will love Islam | 2013 | HD

there’s nothing new about Haters
they’ve been around…ever since the beginning
people have been put down for they believed in and whatever their values were
i mean people from the lowest of values have haters
all the way to the best of people to have walked this Earth
from Jesus
to Muhammad peace be upon them both
they were called mad men, crazy people
they had haters too
he was called a “Sahir”, a “Majnoon”
even to this day names are still being called
books…are still being written
and films are being produced

“he who thinks he is free from the criticism of people, is a mad man…
for the lord of the worlds Himself has been wrongfully criticised”

these are the words of the great scholar al-Imam al-Shafi'i

and when He Himself
and His own Messengers have haters
then it’s only natural that His religion will have haters too
but why
why is Islam criticised so much
seriously…
why

is it because of the way we look
even though our religion specifically teaches that the colour of your skin
your eyes
and hair…doesn’t make you better than anyone else

is it because we look like we’re all from the same country
mate, i’m from Bondi..and i’m Muslim too
Muslims are from everywhere…anyone can be a Muslim

or maybe its because of the way we dress
it’s pretty comfortable i must admit
is it because of my beard
is it because of…my beard
all key men in history had beards
look at Ibrahim…i mean Abraham Lincoln

is it because of her
hijab
(headscarf)
but didn’t Mary, the mother of Jesus wear a
hijab too

is it because of how we treat our women
although the Prophet Muhammad
sallahu alayhi wasalam said

“the best of you in character is the best to his wife”

and he
sallallahu alayhi wasallam
was the best to his wife

is it because there are so many of us
maybe that’s because Muhammad (pbuh) was The Most
Influential in all of history
The most influential person in history

is it because it looks like we’re trying to convert everyone
if you believed you had the most beautiful gift in the world..wouldn’t you want to share it with everyone else too
but even still
i couldn’t convert anyone even if I tried
after all I have no power Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala
(exalted is He)
has all the power..this is why Allah (swt) says

La ikraha fee addeeni
“there is no compulsion in religion”
(Quran - Al-Baqarah (The Cow) -2:256)

is it because of the language we speak

(a sentence in Arabic)
“what’s wrong with Arabic”

but we speak English too, i mean this is English…right

is it because of the food we eat
Halal food is simply to assure that the animal is treated with utmost mercy
from the farm…to the fork

is it because of the drinks..we drink..and the drinks…we don’t drink
i prefer the sober life anyway
i would…rather not…blame it on the alcohol

is it because we get upset when bad things happen to us
whether it be at home or…around the world
just because someone is overseas, doesn’t mean…he’s..still not my brother…or she’s..still not my sister
if we don’t try and fix their problem…who will

is it because we refuse to be silent when injustice prevails
well this is because Islam is very clear with regards to injustice
whenever you see one…try to change it
and if you can’t at least with your tongue…a word
and if you still can’t…at least with your heart
maybe it’s because we love him…a bit too much
Muhammad (pbuh)
but..we’re taught to love him more than our own selves, more than our own mothers
and i don’t think it’s possible to ever love your mother too much
i’ve read his biography from multiple sources and what can i say..i love him
the more…the more you learn about him the more you love him

wait…maybe it’s because of the way some of us act
yes…maybe it’s our fault
maybe it’s because we made you believe that Islam was sent to a bunch of perfect people
when in reality Islam was sent to ‘perfect’ people

see…Islam is perfect
Muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wasallam
was perfect but Muslims aren’t

so i invite you to His way
to the way of Jesus
Moses
Abraham
the way of God Almighty…Allah
discover Islam for what it really is
not from what he says, she says
tv, radio…for what it really is
from the real sources

less hating
more educating
