Islamphobia

Islamphobia

Islam  is a balanced religion. It believes in respecting all sects, all cultures and all civilizations. All laws relate to Islam are meant for Muslim benefits . It is true that in the recent years, Islam has become a victim of extremism. The purpose of Islam has never been to spread Islamophobia. Islamic ideas have been exploited  to give them the shape of Islamophobia. Islam does not define a mosque and state as distinctive. A mosque is there, to provide a forum to the Muslim to unite and pray. The gesture is to promote congregational prayers, which is also an aspect of Christianity. Islam does not believe in forcing its concepts upon Non-Muslims. Unethical Jehad has never been an Islamic thought. It is just that some extremist groups are trying to manipulate Islam and use the Ideals to their benefit. Islam believes in respecting all religions. That is what the Holy Prophet (PBUH) taught the Muslims. Islam does not preach unkindness to any. May it be your enemy  or slave. These are not the aspects of Jihad. A woman can legally have a physical relationship with her husband only. It is definitely no concept of Jihad. Islam believes in respecting a woman, not exploiting her dignity and respect.  Islam does not allow illegal confiscation of property during Jihad. Islam does not promote destruction. Taxes does not mean degrading. Taxes are defined to establish a system and maintain a proper division of wealth. If Christian and jews had to pay Jiziah, Muslims had to pay Zakat .Brutality is not a custom of Islam. A Muslim derives so much contentment from Islamic values, that they do not need to run away from the religion. Anything , which drives a person from sanity is not liked in Islam. The reason being that all wrongs can be committed, when a person is drunk and is not in a normal state of mind. This is human nature, that we cannot drive contentment until we avenge someone for the bad they have done to us. However Islam prefers forgiveness. Sometimes a harsh punishment is necessary to end the evil. Islam has not imposed any extremism on any sex. Exile has never been an Islamic principle. Most of the harsh punishments mentioned are not a part of Islam. They are again manipulated thoughts. Regarding the inheritance law, a woman inherits half of the man . Well there is a reason behind it. For example a man earns all his life. He might have sons and daughters both.  This law is established so that Whatever a man has earned should circulate in his family rather than going completely  to outsiders like the son-in-laws. Women usually think from an emotional perspective and might be carried away in situations where strength is required. That is the reason for the court law. Divorce is a condemned action by Islam. However three times means three chances, so that  both the partners have a chance to think and start on a new note, before a breakup. Divorce is not a game and if a husband and wife misuse this right. The law, that a woman has to marry someone else first to go back to the first guy. Well that is a punishment for both for disrespecting their relationship. Four marriages are not for fun. In the pre-Islamic days when the women got widowed in wars, they needed male support. That is why four marriages are allowed in Islam. Islam does  not allow the mistreatment of your partner. Well marriage is an aspect, where the consent of both the girl and the boy is needed. If they consent, then they can marry. Only valuable items are hidden and trash is exposed. Covering  the head is the symbolic of a woman’s dignity. The above are responses to the Shariah laws. My main thought was to reveal the actual truth and present a proper picture of the reality. We as Muslims, do not intend to promote animosity . We believe in live and let live thought.
