the question now is what are the
limits or when can Muslims show
forgiveness and when are they allowed to
fight for their rights there's a verse
that explains this in the Quran and it
says and indeed whosoever takes Revenge
after he has suffered wrong against such
there is no blame which means that if
someone decides
to apply
the concept of Revenge which is known as
the Mosaic law uh the law of Moses an i
for an eye and a tooth for a tooth there
is no blame on him or on her on who is
the blame the verse continues saying the
blame is only against those who oppress
people with wrongdoing and insolently
transgress Beyond
bounds so there's no blame on the one
who decides to take revenge the blame is
on the oppressor but what does God
recommend the the verse continues and
whosoever shows patience and forgiveness
that would truly be recommended by Allah
so Allah recommends showing patience and
forgiveness but you have the right
totally the the to take revenge if you
decide
to does Islam recommend fighting at any
time
Yes actually Islam obligates fighting in
this case but before saying which case
this is let's first uh
discuss uh the difference
between violence and terrorism what is
the difference between violence and
terrorism we can say that violence is
what two enemies practice directly
against each other while terrorism is
violence practiced against the weak the
uh unarmed people the people who cannot
defend
themselves God Almighty said in the
Quran and what is wrong with you that
you fight not in the cause of Allah and
for those weak ill treated and oppressed
among men women and children what did we
say the weaker suffering from terrorism
actually the word Jihad doesn't equal
terrorism the word Jihad equals war on
terrorism but the real war on
terrorism the word Jihad is war on
terrorism without killing civilians
without bombing cities the word Jihad
means just War it doesn't mean terrorism
and it doesn't mean any War
for example going to fight for oil is
not considered Jihad and is not
considered a just War so Jihad equals
war on
terrorism now many people like to say
that Islam is a religion of
Peace which is true to an extent because
actually uh the Quran has a whole
chapter called Surah Al Fat the chapter
called Al fat and the word fat in the
Arabic language means the Manifest
Victory and it starts like that surely
we have granted you a manifest Victory
do you know in which battle was this
Victory it wasn't in a battle it was
actually a peace treaty called Al hudia
treaty so what do you think about a book
that calls a peace treaty a manifest
Victory is it a book promoting peace or
promoting
War also the most beautiful names in
Islam are the most beautiful names of
Allah Allah has so many names that we
use to call him like the uh merciful the
gracious the or the most gracious the
merciful the forgiving the loving one
The Majestic one and the Peace So the
peace is one of the names of
Allah God almighty
Islam at the same time Prophet Muhammad
peace be upon him in one of his
Traditions said that the worst two names
are war and bitter never use them to
name your children so what do you think
about a religion that teaches its
followers that the best name is peace
and the worst name is war is it a
religion promoting peace or
War uh but of course Islam allows
Muslims to to go to war in order to
establish justice so to be very accurate
and to conclude this we can say that
Islam is a religion of peace that allows
Muslims to go to war in order to
establish justice which is the ultimate
goal the second point that I want to
talk about is comparing Islam to Nazism
in uh in the
movie which is false
you can't say Islam fascism or Islam
Nazism because that's an oxymoron it's
as if you're saying uh someone is a uh
the biggest capitalist communist in the
world this it's an oxymoron you can't
combine two uh opposite expressions with
each other like that Islam is completely
against any racist views and against any
racist ideology and this is Crystal
Clear in the original sin concept if we
can call it like that of course if you
ask any Christian about the original sin
he will tell you that Adam ate from The
Forbidden tree and Breaking the Law of
God and we all know the the uh the
explanation the Christian explanation
but actually saying the original sin it
should
mean the first sin in Islam the sin of
Adam is not the first sin there was a
sin that was before this
one and that was when God
Almighty commanded all the angels and
all the creatures to prostrate
themselves for
Adam and Satan rejected this command
Satan refused to to prostrate himself
for Adam God Almighty blamed him in the
Quran saying why didn't you prostrate
yourself to the one that I created with
my
hands as I commanded you Satan replied
saying because I am better than him you
created me from fire and you created him
from
clay I am white and he's
black I am Arab and he's non
Arab I am European and he's Arab I am
Arab and he's Indian I am Indian and
he's Malaysian do you see this is the
same challenge challenging human beings
right now which is
racism in the
Quran God told Satan get out from here
you cannot be a racist in Paradise so in
Islam racist have no place in
Paradise you cannot say that Muslims are
Nazis or fascists or yes of course we
saw pictures for alhaj am Al husseini
the grand Muti of Palestine with Adolf
Hitler but I believe that alaj am
husseini was playing politics here and
if you understand the political context
at that time you will understand why he
did that Al am husin is the grand mu of
Palestine which is now occupied by uh
the Jews and it was delivered to them by
the
British at the same time Hitler was the
enemy of the Jews and the British so
what I see am husseini was doing is
playing politics not because he's a
Muslim he has to be uh uh uh putting his
hand in the hands of Hitler this is
untrue and this is completely false but
this is what the film was trying to show
that radical Muslims and that islamists
are Nazis or are fascists or are uh
racist which is untrue I believe alusin
husse I'm not here discussing whether
what he was doing was right or wrong I'm
saying he was playing politics not
because he's a Muslim or a Muslim
scholar he was supporting
Hitler uh the other issue is the issue
of suicide bombing and here I would like
you to read the this good book it's
called dying to win dying to win it's by
Robert peep he's a non-muslim American
writer he's an American
researcher and he went through the
phenomena
of suicide bombing trying to explore it
and to reveal its secrets
