[quote]Social Justice
Society’s wellbeing was paramount to Muhammad who taught that
all humans were entitled to the same rights and privileges.
"People are as equal as the teeth of a comb," he said, and he
practised what he preached.
Muhammad was a social activist of his time. He shook the
underpinnings of the unjust society he lived in by bringing
about social reforms: he forbade exploitation of the vulnerable,
protected the poor by establishing regular charity; and crippled
an arrogant class and race-based system by upholding equality.
Welfare and social solidarity are the basis for the progress of
a nation. The Islamic civilisation pioneered the implementation
of social welfare by establishing institutions to provide
support to individuals in all levels of society in a trust
system known as waqf. There were institutions for the disabled,
the blind, and those in need who would find shelter, food, and
education. There were also institutions for mothers of young
children – one of Salahuddin’s (Saladin) greatest acts of
philanthropy was the establishment of two reservoirs by the gate
of his fort in Damascus – one of milk and one of fresh drinking
water for the mothers to take freely.
Muhammad said: "The best people are those who are most useful to
others" and today Muslims still aspire to that maxim through
participating in social and community projects. From supporting
the homeless in London to working with children with learning
disabilities, British Muslims are actively involved in making
their communities better for everyone. [/quote]

Women's Rights
The Quran states that men and women were created to be equal
parts of a pair. Muhammad said that the rights of women are
sacred and that they are the “twin halves of men”. Considering
women in Britain received the right to vote, inherit and own
property thirteen centuries later, Muhammad’s campaigns were
both radical and revolutionary.
Muslim women gained full ownership over their money, while
husbands had the responsibility to provide for them even if
their wives were wealthier than them. Women had the right to
divorce instantly on returning the dowry, something other
religions don't allow. One duty enjoined upon them was that of
education. Early Islamic history saw the establishment of Muslim
women as scholars, politicians, businesswomen, jurists and
doctors. Fatima al Firhi founded the first university in 859 in
Fez, Morocco; Razia al Din ruled the Delhi Sultanate in India in
1236; Umm Darda, a scholar from Syria, taught imams, jurists and
even had the 5th Umayyad caliph who ruled from Spain to India as
her student. In fact some eight thousand accounts of Muslim
female scholars have been documented, many of whom in addition
to theology and jurisprudence, were skilled in calligraphy and
philosophy, women who not only contributed to their society but
actively shaped it.
The fruits of Muhammad’s reforms are as visible now as they have
been throughout history. Today, Muslim women in Britain are
achieving positions of status and respect as police officers,
lawyers, entrepreneurs, medics, social activists, MPs and peers
in the House of Lords. Remaining true to the ideals cemented
1,430 years ago, Muslim women were and still are role models for
future generations. [/quote]

[quote]Environment
Muhammad emphasised the Quranic decree of treating the earth as
a trust, and humankind its guardians. Likening our planet to a
sacred place of prayer, "All of the earth has been made to me as
a mosque," Muhammad promoted respect and responsibility towards
the environment amongst his companions. He encouraged water
conservation, instructing them not to be wasteful even if they
were next to a flowing river, and stipulated the importance of
keeping public places tidy: "One of the branches of faith is to
remove litter from the street," he said.
Today, we are encouraged to recycle, conserve, and care for the
world around us. If Muhammad was here today, he would echo the
same ecological concerns that he did over 1,430 years ago.
Current ‘plant a tree’ campaigns sit well with Muhammad’s
credentials. He organised the planting of trees and date groves,
and turned forests into conservation areas called ‘hima’ or
sanctuaries for thriving ecosystems.
His example pioneered acts of environmentalism throughout
history: Ottoman ministers advised sultans on both societal and
environmental matters. An innovative engineer and architect
living in the Ottoman Empire, Sinan, created a sixteenth century
recycling method: the smoke choking out from a multitude of
candles and oil lamps in the Suleymaniye Mosque in Istanbul was
channelled into a separate chamber and the soot used as writing
ink. In Islamic Spain, water conservation was routine, where
rainwater would be collected from ceramic-tiled roofs and would
pass though a system of pipes to underground cisterns for
storage.
Muslims continue to follow Muhammad’s example in protecting the
environment through projects like eco-mosques and organic
farming and by supporting the development of climate policy,
sustainable working and a greener Hajj.[/quote]

Was Prophet Muhammad a pedophile?

Short answer: no.
Rightists love slandering Muhammad and Muslims with this slander
and defamation.

We sorted this out years ago:

[quote]Mohammed, being honourable, viewed Aisha as an
individual. You, being honourless, view Aisha as “a 9-year-old”.
That alone shows who gets it and who doesn’t.
...
Whoever is so intimidated by Islamophobes that they feel a need
to debate Aisha’s age have already lost the argument, since it
implies that Mohammed’s ethicality is contingent on Aisha’s age.
We must represent the position that Mohammed was ethical
irrespective of Aisha’s age, and that what is unethical is one
age group telling another that their own wishes somehow don’t
count.[/quote]

[quote]From written records and imperial edicts engraved on
steles (standing stone slabs monuments) it is clear that these
Islamic communities enjoyed the favor of the emperors—especially
during the Tang (618-907 AD), Yuan (1271-1368), Ming (1368-1644)
and Qing (1644-1912) dynasties. Islam was looked on favorably by
the imperial court because of its ethics, which—as far as the
emperors were concerned—promoted harmonious and peaceful
relations between the diverse peoples in the imperial
territories.
...
Islam was considered by Christian missionaries in the
country—and particularly by Russian scholars—as a growing
threat. Islam was considered by many in the west to have the
potential to become the national religion in China—which would
have made China the biggest Islamic country in the world.
...
Many of the mosques had affiliated schools teaching the Arabic
language and Islamic writings to the children of the Muslim
communities. Suzhou is one of the first cultural centers where
Islamic scriptures were published in the Chinese language.
Translations from Persian into Chinese were made by the
16th-century Suzhou scholars, Zhang Zhong and Zhou Shiqi, making
the city an early hub of Islamic intellectual culture.[/quote]
(When will China reconnect to this past and understand that
Russia is its true enemy?)

Re: Dietary decolonization

A common misconception by Muslims is that only halal slaughtered
meat is acceptable and that pork is never acceptable. In
actuality Muhammad promoted veganism\vegetarianism. If Muslims
truly want to follow in the footsteps of their prophet Muhammad
they would not eat meat at all, or use diary products for that
matter:
[quote]The prophet Muhammad, however, was strongly against the
frequent consumption of meat and, for his part, was said to
subsist mainly on a diet of dates and barley. ... They encourage
Muslims to try a vegan diet during Ramadan, making it a
"Veganadan".[/quote]

Is true Halal a vegan diet? Muslims should ask themselves this
question....

Yes. As I have been arguing for a long time:
HTML http://aryanism.net/blog/aryan-sanctuary/nopegida/comment-page-3/#comment-98535
[quote]since Mohammed also stated that all animals are Muslims
by default, the correct interpretation of Islam forbids all
animal exploitation. This is reinforced by the fact that vegan
food is automatically Halal, whereas meat requires a ritual to
make it artificially Halal, implying that meat is inherently
Haraam but was only being temporarily permitted out of sheer
victual necessity during wartime.[/quote]
HTML http://aryanism.net/blog/aryan-sanctuary/western-civilization-late-20th-century-pop-culture/comment-page-1/#comment-170063
[quote]I have personally converted a number of individual
Muslims to at least vegetarianism (and in some cases veganism)
using solely Mohammedan arguments. For example, the simple fact
that vegetables are automatically halal whereas meat etc. at
best require a Basmala ritual to make it artificially halal is a
strong argument that a superior Mohammedan diet is a meatless
diet, and that the Basmala is best interpreted as a wartime
compromise, especially when considering Mohammed’s otherwise
numerous examples of kindness towards animals. Moreoever, I have
argued that in modern society most Muslims who eat meat do not
personally witness the Basmala, but rely on trust in halal food
labelling. Therefore there always exists a possibility that the
meat they are eating is not halal without them knowing so, and
hence the only way they can be absolutely sure that they are
eating halal is to refrain from meat altogether. In fact, I got
along with my Muslim classmates when I was in school for the
reason that both they and I ate the vegetarian option during
school lunches (because back in those days a halal meat option
was unavailable).[/quote]

Then some Koranist idiots say: "But what about Eid al-Adha?"
Answer: that was Abraham, not Mohammed!

[quote]The ritual sacrifice of a goat, sheep, cow or camel
represents the sacrifice of Abraham, says Imam Hammad Ahmad of
Baitur Rahman mosque in Silver Spring, Maryland.
...
But when Ghilan looks at the life of Muhammad, he finds a
different story.
...
“The Prophet would go a few months without eating meat — and
then he ate meat when it was presented to him. He didn’t seek it
out..”
That, he says, makes veganism an “imperative” for those
following Muhammad’s message.[/quote]

[quote] Has the story reached you, of the honoured guests of
Ibrahim? When they came to him and said: ‘Salaam!’ he answered,
‘Salaam,’ and said, ‘You are people unknown to me.’ Then he
turned to his household, and brought out a roasted calf. And
placed it before them, saying, ‘Will you not eat?’ Then when
they didn’t eat, he conceived fear about them. They said, ‘Fear
not!’ And they gave him glad tidings of a son having knowledge
of Allah. Then his wife came forward with a loud voice: she
smote her face and said, ‘A barren old woman!’ They said, ‘Even
so says your Lord. Verily, He is the All-Wise, the All-Knower.’
Ibrahim said, ‘Then for what purpose have you come, O
Messengers?’ They said, ‘We have been sent to a people who are
Mujrimun to send down upon them stones of baked clay, marked by
your Lord for the Musrifun.’ (Adh-Dhariyat, 51:24-34)
Those who have read the Bible would be familiar with this story
from Genesis, chapter 18, of the meeting of Yahweh and the
Angels with Abraham to announce the coming birth of Isaac and
also to converse with him about the destruction of Sodom and
Gomorrah. The familiar story of this Jewish patriarch rushing to
serve the angels with the “fatted calf” has become the epitome
of hospitality.
But constrast this “prophet of Yahweh” with the Message brought
by the Prophet of Allah, Salih, to the people of Thamud:
And to Thamud we sent their brother Salih. He said, ‘O my
people! Worship Allah! You have no other god but Him. Indeed
there has come to you a clear sign from your Lord. This
she-camel of Allah is a sign to you; so you leave her to graze
in Allah’s earth, and touch her not with harm, lest a painful
torment seize you. And remember when He made you successors
after Ad and gave you habitations in the land, you build for
yourselves palaces in plains, and carve out homes in the
mountains. So remember the graces from Allah, and do not go
about making mischief in the earth.’
The leaders of those who were arrogant among his people said
to those who were counted weak – to such of them as believed:
‘Know you that Salih is one sent from his Lord.’ They said: ‘We
indeed believe in that with which he has been sent.’ Those who
were arrogant said: ‘Verily, we disbelieve in that which you
believe in.’ So they killed the she-camel and insolently defied
the Commandment of their Lord, and said, ‘Oh Salih! Bring about
your threats if you are indeed one of the Messengers of Allah.’
So the earthquake seized them, and they lay dead, prostrate in
their homes. Then Salih turned from them, and said: ‘O my
people! I have indeed conveyed to you the message of my Lord,
and have given you good advice but you like not good advisers.’
(Al-Araf, 7:73-79)
So the Message that Salih brought from Allah had a distinctive
quality of universal compassion that the message of Yahweh that
Ibrahim lived by was devoid of. One had no qualms to slaughter
the fatted calf, whereas Salih protected the she-camel with
threats of divine destruction. Now the most mysterious thing is
that although traditionally Muhammad’s lineage is traced back to
Ibrahim, it is through his son Isma’il, who is honoured as a
Prophet of Allah, and not through Isaac (the Jewish patriarch
from whom ultimately the tribes of Israel came), and Ismail’s
mother was Hajar.
Islamic tales relate that Hajar came from a royal lineage that
descended from Salih the Prophet, thus Isma’il and ultimately
Muhammad came from the lineage of Salih, even though Isma’il’s
father was Ibrahim.[/quote]

The site makes heavy use of the Quran, which we know was
corrupted by Uthman and co. Is there a substitute we can use?
What about the hadiths?

"Is there a substitute we can use?"
I have been looking for someone to take over the Jamia project
for many years. No one has stepped up.
"What about the hadiths?"
Everyone agrees that not all of them are authentic, but there is
vast disagreement on which are the inauthentic ones. The Jamia
would include a list of what we consider authentic.

1. Recently, one of my friends has found some books like this,
such as that of the Light in the Heavens: Sayings of Prophet
Muhammad by al-Qadi al-Qudai and The Book of Hadith: Sayings of
the Prophet Muhammad from the Mishkat al Masabih by Charles Le
Gai Eaton.
What are your thoughts on the modern Hadith collections like
those listed above?
I wish I could step up but I am really busy right now with my
life.
2. Yup, and a lot of the Hadith advocate circumcision, which is
NOT from Muhammad, but from Abraham. Muhammad himself also did
not prohibit children's dolls (including stuffed animals).
Compiling Muhammad's true Hadith shouldn't be too hard nor too
time-consuming. We just have to put our minds to it.
