Editorial:

We received an unusual "forwarded e-mail" titled: "Dangerous Tricks Against Islam" which gave a list of websites that deliberately give false information about Islam. A part of the e-mail states "These sites have been developed by Jews who intentionally are spreading wrong information about the Quran and Hadith and Islam itself".


DISCLAIMER: As an editorial team, we are not responsible for the accuracy of below forwarded e-mail and do not necessarily agree with all content of below e-mail.

However as this E-Zine is the platform representing the VOICE OF THE GLOBAL UMMAH, we believe e-mails such as the below need greater validity, authentication and accuracy. Readers like you are welcome to express your opinion regarding the above. One of several options could consist of a review being done by an international team of Islamic experts and if the majority of them concur the allegation of below e-mail, then such slanderous websites could be officially put in a BLACKLIST which should be publicized by the Muslim media to all nook and corners of the world, including if needed on the bulletin boards of Masjids and other institutions worldwide. By so doing, the primary objective of such vicious anti-Islamic elements to misinform others would be significantly reduced if not eliminated.

To be fair, there may be some websites from below list that may not be blacklisted. If so, they need to be removed from such a list. We further do not agree to any statement that stereotypes any particular religious group including JEWS. Let the global Ummah not fall into the same trap that the non-believers have already fallen into, in terms of stereotyping the whole Muslim community with specific negatives.

DANGEROUS TRICKS AGAINST ISLAM! PLEASE FORWARD!

Assalaamu 'Aleykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakaatuhu,

COULD YOU FORWARD AN EMAIL TO SAVE YOUR RELIGION?

Please send this message to every Muslim you know...

ASAP!

If you don't....

A Muslim somewhere in the world could be receiving false information about Islam. So prevent that from happening PLEASE.

Beware of the following websites:

www.answering-islam.org
www.aboutislam.com
www.thequran.com
www.allahassurance.com

These sites have been developed by Jews who intentionally are spreading wrong information about the Quran and Hadith and Islam itself.

Please spread the information to all the Muslim brothers and sisters around the world. The list of traced anti-Islamic websites about Islam are:

(1) http://www.islamreview.com

This site has posted fake stories of how Muslims converted to Christianity. How do I know? Read the following excerpt from one of the stories:

First the 'convert' says: (emphasis added)
In the end, I managed to convince my mother, as it was for Allah and I joined the Islamic College. Having graduated as an ustaz, I was soon posted to my neighbourhood…
And then: My trip to Mecca for the Haj (pilgrimage) was tiring but eventful. I did not have the rare opportunity to see inside the holy Kabah and the holy idols inside, which Prophet Muhammud had helped to place, as explained in Bukhari's Hadith
An Ustaz (scholar) in Islamic Studies is saying that there are idols inside the Kabah and that too placed by Muhammad (saw) himself!?!?!

This clearly shows that the author is deliberately trying to spread misinformation about Islam and wants to convey to possible reverts to Islam that it is religion of idol worship. In fact most of the Christian sites use this tactic of false convert stories but it's not always possible to prove it

(2) http://www.faithfreedom.org/

AlhamduliLlaah I was able to catch another site posting fake stories of Muslims leaving Islam.
See the false information imparted here. That the attempt is deliberate is known through the claim that the 'convert' has done detailed study about the topic....

"For Islamic Education, I had to study about marriage in detail to do well. So, I learnt all the stuff and got the highest grade anyone can get for Islamic Education. And guess what? Because I know it so well, I know that there is a lot of discrimination against women in Islam. Things like a father and grandfather can marry a girl/woman to whomever they want even if the girl/woman doesn't want to marry that person… In addition, I learned things like women couldn't be witnesses in Syariah Courts and things like that".

The first point here is a total lie whereas the second is a distorted version of the truth.

(3) http://www.answering-islam.org/Testimonies/younathan.html

Here's yet another extract from a false convert story aimed at spreading misinformation about Islam.

As I started thinking about my life and the Quran, I realized all Muslims, even the Prophet Muhammad, would go to Hell for certain sins they committed in their lifetime.

This is a common ploy of the Christian Missionaries. They first inform gullible victims that Jesus (God) is Love and just by believing in the Crucifixion, you will be assured of Paradise. Whereas the concept of God in Islam is so harsh that no one will be spared from Hell and that even Prophet Muhammad (saw) was not sure of where he would end up. For this purpose they quote an ayat of the Qur'aan out of context. Here they have gone a step further by saying that even our beloved Prophet (saw) would have to go through hell. Nothing could be further from the truth.

A FAKE AMERICAN QUR'AN

(The FURQAN QUR'AN)
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1579211755/qid%3D1096805827/102-4933271-2395342

PLEASE DO NOT ignore this.

FORWARD this to as many Muslims as you can.

The new AMERICAN Qur'an: a dangerous trick.

A new Quran is being distributed in Kuwait , titled 'The True Furqan'. It is being described as the verses of the Shaytan and Al-Furqan weekly mmagazine has found out that the two American printing companies; "Omega 2001' and 'Wine Press' are involved in the publishing of 'The True Furqan ', a book which has also been titled 'The 21st Century Qur'an '!

It is over 366 pages and is in both the Arabic and English languages...it is being distributed to our children in Kuwait in the private English schools!

The book contains 77 Surats, which include Al-Fatiha, Al-Jana and Al-Injil. Instead of Bismillah, each Surat begins with a longer version of this incorporating the Christian belief of the three spirits.

And this so called Qur'an opposes many Islamic beliefs. In one of its verses it describes having more than one wife as fornication, divorce being non-permissible and it uses a new system for the sharing out of the will, opposing the current one. It states that Jihad is HARAM.

This book even goes as far as attacking God Almighty Allah! All this is poisoning our children at approx. $3.

Brothers and Sisters please make sure you forward this email to as many people as possible so that we can stop this dangerous trick.

May Allah reward you. Ameen.

Wassalaamu 'Aleykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakaatuhu.
