Mughal Sahab:
I have an issue with the "Divine version of Islam" -- It's the wording -- after all are we "divine" or human beings? If human, then how "Divine"?
I know what you are getting at - I simply wish to plug any holes the worms and rats can creep in from.
Dear muse, it is true we are all human beings but we cannot be independent of God and humanity. A world without moral values in the name of God and humanity is nothing less than lawless jungle wherein people in position of power are the masters who can do whatever they like with rest as their slaves.
Islam that is based upon proper understanding of the quran gives us firmly established foundation to build our world upon. All we need to do is work together to see what the quran actually says and not what mullahs want us to see in the quran. I wish there were some mullahs here to defend their version of islam and that this forum allowed an open debate on what islam really is. In no time it will become obvious that mullas are memorisers of islamic information but not thinkers who actually understand islam. Their islam is simply put just a set of make beliefs and ritualism with some barbaric laws which they call shariah. Islam is very different from what they say it is.
If you pick up any translation of the quran or interpretation you will see a lot of problems with each of them from start to finish. Those problems that we find in these things are absent in the actual quranic text. One wonders whether mullahs are ignorant people or are they misinterpreting the quran deliberately?
If you like we can have a look at surah al fatiah as to what it is all about. It is not Lords prayer but an agreement between God and man. The rest of the quran is based upon this agreement. In short this surah provides us with overall framework within which the quran is supposed to be interpreted. In short mullahs turned the quran into a magical and mythical children's fairy tale due to which the quran looks like a senseless jumble of all sorts put together in a silly way. No wonder that nonmuslims do not let us open our mouths.
Allah is made to look like a very angry village child hell bent on taking revenge on his toys who wants peoples' heads chopped off over any little thing and hell is just his way of cooking and roasting people and having fun. If this was really islam no one would want to have anything to do with it.
It is just that absolute power corrupts absolutely and that is what muslim kings and sultans and amir have been doing, being corrupt themselves have been trying their bnest to corrupt islam so that they could thereby justify their own life style that way and could look respsctable in the eyes of their foolish slaves.
The power muslims kings have had for centuries could they not build places for education to lead humanity? They instead decided to built grand masjids and placed therein mullahs of their choice to brain wash masses into their slaves. Islam came to get man out of slavery of man. In islam none is master and none is slaves for all are bound in brotherhood of humanity yet slave trade was continued by muslim rulers till 20th century in the name of islam. It is time we questioned our make beliefs and corrected ourselves or we have no future at all. We were given the divine message to learn it ourselves and be a beacon of good humanity for ret of mankind. Unfortunately we have lost our own way so how we are going to guide others?
Therefore it is time to retrace our steps to see where we went off the right track and start all over again if we wish to be good human beings and an example of goodness for others..
regards and all the best.
