Terrorists aim to create a world of violence, conflict, disorder, and fear.
Islam Denounces Terrorism
Islamic Morality: The Source of Peace and Security
Eat and drink of God's provision and do not go about the Earth corrupting it. (Qur'an, 2:60)
Come of those who say that they are members of a particular religion and something is done in the name of that religion may, in fact, misunderstand that religion and as a result, practice it wrongly. For that reason, it would be wrong to form ideas about that religion by taking these people as an example. The best way of understanding a religion is to study its divine source.
Islam's divine source is the Qur'an, which is based on concepts of morality, love, compassion, humility, sacrifice, understanding and peace. A Muslim who lives by those precepts in its true sense will be most polite, careful of thought, modest, decent, noble, just, trustworthy and easy to get on with. He/she will spread love, respect, harmony and the joy of living all around him.
Islam is the Religion of Peace
Terror, in its broadest sense, is violence committed against non-military targets for political purposes. To put it another way, targets of terror are entirely innocent civilians whose only crime, in the eyes of terrorists, is to represent "the other side."
For this reason, terror means subjecting innocent people to violence, which is an act bereft of any moral justification. This, as in the case of murders committed by Hitler or Stalin, is a crime committed against mankind.
The Qur'an is a true Book revealed to people as a guide to the true path and in this Book, God commands man to adopt good morals. This morality is based upon concepts such as love, compassion, understanding and mercy. The word "Islam" is derived from the word meaning "peace" in Arabic. Islam is a religion revealed to mankind with the intention of presenting a peaceful life through which the infinite compassion and mercy of God manifest on earth. God calls all people to Islamic morals through which compassion, mercy, peace and love can be experienced all over the world. In the Qur'an, God addresses believers as follows:
O You who believe! Enter absolutely into peace (Islam). Do not follow in the footsteps of satan. He is an outright enemy to you. (Qur'an, 2:208)
As it is made clear in the verse, security can only be ensured by "entering into Islam", that is, living by the values of the Qur'an. The values of the Qur'an hold a Muslim responsible for treating all people, whether Muslim or non-Muslim, kindly and justly, protecting the needy and the innocent and "preventing the dissemination of mischief". Mischief comprises all forms of anarchy and terror that remove security, comfort and peace. As God says in a verse, "God does not love corruption". (Qur'an, 2:205)
Murdering a person for no reason is one of the most obvious examples of mischief. God repeats in the Qur'an a command He formerly revealed to Jews in the Torah thus:
... if someone kills another person – unless it is in retaliation for someone else or for causing corruption in the earth – it is as if he had murdered all mankind. And if anyone gives life to another person, it is as if he had given life to all mankind... (Qur'an, 5:32)
As the verse suggests, a person who kills even a single man, "unless it is in retaliation for someone else or for causing corruption in the earth", commits a crime as if he had murdered all mankind.
This being the case, it is obvious what great sins are the murders, massacres and attacks, popularly known as "suicide attacks", committed by terrorists. God informs us how this cruel face of terrorism will be punished in the hereafter in the following verse:
There are only grounds against those who wrong people and act as tyrants in the earth without any right to do so. Such people will have a painful punishment. (Qur'an, 42:42)
All these reveal that organizing acts of terror against innocent people is utterly against Islam and it is unlikely that any Muslim could ever commit such crimes. On the contrary, Muslims are responsible for stopping these people, removing "mischief on earth" and bringing peace and security to all people all over the world. Islam cannot be reconciled with terror. Just the contrary, it should be the solution to and the path to the prevention of terror.
God has Condemned Wickedness
God has commanded people to avoid committing evil: oppression, cruelty, murder and bloodshed are all forbidden. He describes those who fail to obey this command as "following in satan's footsteps" and adopting a posture that is openly revealed to be sinful in the Qur'an. A few of the many verses on this matter in the Qur'an read:
But as for those who break God's contract after it has been agreed and sever what God has commanded to be joined, and cause corruption in the earth, the curse will be upon them. They will have the Evil Abode. (Qur'an, 13:25)
Eat and drink of God's provision and do not go about the earth corrupting it. (Qur'an, 2:60)
Do not corrupt the earth after it has been put right. Call on Him fearfully and eagerly. God's mercy is close to the good-doers. (Qur'an, 7:56)
Those who think that they will be successful by causing wickedness, upheaval and oppression, and by killing innocent people are committing a great error. God has forbidden all acts of wickedness involving terrorism and violence, condemned those who engage in such acts and said "God does not uphold the works of those who cause mischief." in one of His verses. (Qur'an, 10:81)
In the present age, however, acts of terrorism, genocide and massacres occur all over the world. Innocent people are being savagely killed, and countries where communities are being brought to hate each other for artificial reasons are drowning in blood. These horrors in countries with different histories, cultures and social structures may have causes and sources peculiar to each. However, it is evident that the fundamental cause is a moving away from morality based on love, respect and compassion that is commanded in the Qur'an. As a result of lack of religion, communities emerge that have no love for or fear of God and that are deceived by the lie that they will not be called to account in the hereafter. Since they falsely believe that, "I will not have to account for my actions to anyone," they can easily act with no compassion, morality or conscience.
There are apparently many reasons for the acts of terror which have now claimed perhaps hundreds of thousands of lives. Those who perpetrate such acts have no love for or fear of God. To them, the morality enjoined by religion is completely alien.
The existence of hypocrites who emerge in the name of God and religion, but actually organise themselves to commit wickedness condemned by God, is indicated in the Qur'an. One verse talks about a gang of nine men who planned to murder the Prophet (pbuh) by swearing in the name of God:
There was a gang of nine men in the city causing corruption in the land and not putting things right. They said, "Let us make an oath to one another by God that we will fall on him and his family in the night and then say to his protector, we did not witness the destruction of his family and we are telling the truth." They hatched a plot and We hatched a plot while they were not aware. (Qur'an, 27:48-50)
As this incident described in the Qur'an reveals, the fact that people do things "in the name of God" or even swear in His name, in other words that they use the kind of language designed to show themselves as very religious, does not mean that what they do is in conformity with religion. On the contrary, what they do can be quite against the will of God and the morality of religion. The truth of the matter lies in their actions. If their actions are "causing corruption and not putting things right", as the verse reveals, then you can be sure that these people cannot be truly religious, and that their aim is not to serve religion.
It is quite impossible for someone who fears God and has grasped the morality of Islam to support violence or wickedness, or to take part in such actions. That is why Islam is the true solution to terrorism. When the sublime morality of the Qur'an is explained, it will be impossible for people to connect true Islam with those who support or join groups that aim at hatred, war and disorder. That is because God has forbidden wickedness:
Whenever he holds the upperhand, he goes about the earth corrupting it, destroying (people's) crops and breeding stock. God does not love corruption. When he is told to have fear of God, he is seized by pride which drives him to wrongdoing. Hell will be enough for him! What an evil resting-place. (Qur'an, 2:205-206)
As can be seen from the above verses, it is out of the question for someone who fears God to turn a blind eye to even the smallest action that might harm mankind. Someone who does not believe in God and the hereafter, however, can easily do all kinds of evil, since he thinks he will not have to account to anyone.
The first thing that needs to be done to rid the world of the present-day scourge of terrorism is to use education to do away with deviant irreligious beliefs that are put forward in the name of religion, and to teach people true Qur'anic morality and to love and fear God.
God Commands Us to Do Good Deeds
A Muslim is someone who abides by the commands of God, tries scrupulously to live by Qur'anic morality, peace and harmony, which make the world a more beautiful place and lead it to progress. His aim is to lead people to beauty, goodness and well-being. In the Qur'an it is revealed thus:
In the moral teachings of Islam, the most important qualities are love, compassion, mutual support, selfsacrifice and forgiveness. In a society where this morality is lived as it should be, it is impossible to find the foundations of violence and conflict.
... And do good as God has been good to you. And do not seek to cause corruption in the earth. God does not love corrupters. (Qur'an, 28:77)
Someone who adopts the Islamic faith wishes to earn God's pleasure and compassion and to enter heaven. He has to make strenuous efforts to do this, and to adopt a morality acceptable to God while he is in this world. The clearest manifestations of this morality are compassion, pity, justice, honesty, forgiveness, humility, sacrifice and patience. The believer will behave well towards people, try to perform good deeds and spread goodness. In His verses, God commands:
We did not create the heavens and earth and everything between them, except with truth. The Hour is certainly coming, so forgive [men's failings] with fair forbearance. (Qur'an, 15:85)
... Be good to your parents and relatives and to orphans and the very poor, and to neighbors who are related to you and neighbors who are not related to you, and to companions and travellers and your slaves. God does not love anyone vain or boastful. (Qur'an, 4:36)
... Help one another in benevolence and piety. Do not help each other to wrongdoing and enmity. And fear God. God is severe in retribution. (Qur'an, 5:2)
As it is made clear in the verses, God wishes those who believe in Him to behave well towards people, to cooperate with each other when it comes to goodness, and to avoid wickedness. In Surat al-An'am, verse 160, God promises that "anyone who comes with a fine deed will have ten more like it. But those who produce a bad action will only be repaid with its equivalent and they will not be wronged."
In the Qur'an, God describes Himself as He Who knows "the secrets of men's hearts", and warns people to "avoid all kinds of evil." A Muslim therefore, which means "one who surrenders himself to God" must evidently be someone who does his best to fight terrorism in intellectual and ideological terms..
A Muslim does not remain indifferent to what goes on around him, and never adopts the mentality that nothing matters as long as it does not harm him. That is because he has surrendered himself to God. He is His representative, and an ambassador of good. He cannot, therefore, remain indifferent in the face of cruelty and terrorism. In fact, the Muslim is the greatest intellectual enemy of terrorism, which kills people who have done no wrong. The Qur'anic morality is against all forms of terrorism, and tries to prevent it right from the beginning, in other words on the level of ideas. It demands peace between people and for justice to prevail, and commands people to avoid discord, conflict and wickedness.
God Commands Us to Be Just
The true justice described in the Qur'an commands man to behave justly, making no discrimination between people, to protect peoples' rights, not to permit violence no matter what the circumstances, to side with the oppressed against the oppressor and to help the needy. This justice calls for the rights of both parties to be protected when reaching a decision in a dispute, assessing all aspects of an incident, setting aside all prejudices, being objective, honest, full of love, merciful and compassionate. For instance, someone who cannot assess events in a moderate way, and who is swayed by his emotions and feelings, will fail to arrive at sound decisions and will remain under the influence of those feelings. However, someone who rules with justice needs to set all his personal feelings and views aside. He needs to treat all parties with justice when they ask for help, to side with what is right under all circumstances, and not to diverge from the path of honesty and truthfulness. A person should incorporate the values of the Qur'an into his soul in such a way that he may be able to consider other parties' interests before his own and maintain justice, even if this harms his own interests.
God commands in Surat an-Nisa', verse 58: "... when you judge between people, to judge with justice…" In another verse, God commands believers to act justly even if it is against themselves:
O You who believe! Be upholders of justice, bearing witness for God alone, even against yourselves or your parents and relatives. Whether they are rich or poor, God is well able to look after them. Do not follow your own desires and deviate from the truth. If you twist or turn away, God is aware of what you do. (Qur'an, 4:135)
In the Qur'an, God gives a detailed description of justice and informs believers of the attitude they have to adopt in the face of incidents they encounter and of the ways to exercise justice. Such guidance is a great comfort to believers and a mercy from God. For this reason, those who believe are responsible for exercising justice in an undivided manner both to earn God's approval and to lead their lives in peace and security.
The justice God commands in the Qur'an is the justice that is exercised equally among all people, with no consideration of language, race, or ethnicity. The justice in the Qur'anic sense does not vary according to place, time and people. In our day, too, there are people being subjected to cruel and unjust treatment because of the colour of their skin or their race in all corners of the world.
If your Lord had willed, all the people on the Earth would have believed. Do you think you can force people to be believers? (Qur'an, 10:99)
However, God informs us in the Qur'an that the purpose in the creation of different tribes and peoples is "that they should come to know each other". Different nations or peoples, all of whom are the servants of God, should get to know one another, that is, learn about their different cultures, languages, traditions and abilities. In brief, one of the purposes of the creation of different races and nations is not conflict and war but cultural richness. Such variation is a bounty of God's creation. The fact that someone is taller than someone else or that his skin is yellow or white neither makes him superior to others nor is it something to feel ashamed of. Every trait a person has is a result of God's purposeful creation, but in the sight of God, these variations have no ultimate importance. A believer knows that someone attains superiority only by having fear of God and in the strength of his faith in God. This fact is related in the following verse:
O Mankind! We created you from a male and female, and made you into peoples and tribes so that you might come to know each other. The noblest among you in God's Sight is that one of you who best performs his duty. God is All-Knowing, All-Aware. (Qur'an, 49:13)
As God informs us in the verse, the understanding of justice recommended by Him calls for equal, compassionate and peaceable treatment of everyone, with no discrimination between them.
The Responsibility of Believers
Those who have no concern for events unless they directly affect them are bereft of the insight that espouses unselfishness, brotherhood, friendship, honesty and the service that religion bestows upon people. Throughout their lives, such people try to satisfy their own egos by merely wasting their means, totally unaware of the threats humanity faces. In the Qur'an however, God praises the morals of those who strive to bring good to their surroundings; those who are concerned about the events that take place around them and who call people to the right way. In a verse from the Qur'an, a metaphor is given for those who offer no good to others and those who always act on the path of goodness:
God makes another metaphor: two men, one of them deaf and dumb, unable to do anything, a burden on his master, no matter where he directs him he brings no good, is he the same as someone who commands justice and is on a straight path? (Qur'an, 16:76)
As it is stated in the Qur'an, it is obvious that those who are "on a straight path", are those who are devoted to their religion; fear and heed God, hold spiritual values in high regard, and are filled with eagerness to serve people. In general, such people are there to serve humanity and bring with them great benefits to mankind. For this reason, it is very important for people to learn about the true religion and live by the morals explained in the Qur'an – the final Revelation from God. In the Qur'an, God defines those people who live by such high morals:
Those who, if We establish them firmly on the earth, will keep up prayer and pay the welfare due, and command what is right and forbid what is wrong. The end result of all affairs is with God. (Qur'an, 22:41)
Hatred Felt towards a Community Does Not Prevent Believers from Exercising Justice
Hatred and anger are the major sources of evil, and are likely to prevent people from making just decisions, thinking soundly and conducting themselves rationally. Some people can readily inflict all kinds of injustice on people for whom they feel enmity. They may accuse these people of acts they have never committed, or bear false witness against them although their innocence is known to them. On account of such enmity, people may be subjected to unbearable oppression. Some people avoid bearing witness in favor of people they disagree with, although they know they are innocent, and they keep evidence which would reveal their innocence hidden. Furthermore, they almost take pleasure in the misery these people face, their encounters with injustice or great suffering. Their greatest worry, on the other hand, is that justice should be done and these peoples' innocence proved.
For these reasons, it is very hard for people in societies where religious morality is not practiced to trust one another. People worry that they can fall victim to someone else at any time. Having lost mutual trust, they also lose their human feelings such as compassion, brotherhood and co-operation, and start hating one another.
However, the feelings someone holds in his heart towards a person or community should never influence a believer's decisions. No matter how immoral or hostile the person he is considering may be, the believer sets all these feelings aside and acts and makes his decisions justly and recommends that is just. His feelings towards that person cast no shadow over his wisdom and conscience. His conscience always inspires him to comply with God's commands and advice, and never to abandon good manners, because this is a command God gives in the Qur'an. In Surah Ma'ida, it is related as follows:
O You who believe! Show integrity for the sake of God, bearing witness with justice. Do not let hatred for a people incite you into not being just. Be just. That is closer to faith. Heed God (alone). God is aware of what you do. (Qur'an, 5:8)
As is related in the verse, displaying a just attitude is what most complies with having fear of and love for God. A person of faith knows that he will attain the pleasure of God only when he acts justly. Every person who witnesses his or her good manners will trust this person, feel comfortable in their presence and trust them with any responsibility or task. Such people are treated with respect even by their opponents. Their attitude may even lead some people to have faith in God.
Islam Defends Freedom of Thought
Islam is a religion which provides and guarantees freedom of ideas, thought and life. It has issued commands to prevent and forbid tension, disputes, slander and even negative thinking among people. In the same way terrorism and all acts of violence are determinedly prohibited in Islam, even the slightest ideological pressure to be put on them is also forbidden:
There is no compulsion in religion. True guidance has become clearly distinct from error. (Qur'an, 2:256)
So remind them! You are only a reminder. You are not in control of them. (Qur'an, 88:21-22)
Forcing people to believe in a religion or to adopt its forms of belief is completely contrary to the essence and spirit of Islamic morality. According to Islam, true faith is only possible with free will and freedom of conscience. Of course, Muslims can advise and encourage each other about the features of Qur'anic morality. All believers are charged with explaining Qur'anic morality to people in the nicest manner possible. They will explain the beauties of religion in the light of the verse, "Call to the way of your Lord with wisdom and fair admonition..." (Qur'an, 16:125), however, they must also bear in mind the verse, "You are not responsible for their guidance, but God guides whoever He wills." (Qur'an, 2:272)
They will never resort to compulsion to force others to embrace faith, nor any kind of physical or psychological pressure. Neither will they use any worldly privilege to turn someone towards religion. When they receive a negative response to what they say, Muslims will reply along the lines of: "To you your religion, and to me, mine" (Qur'an, 109:6)
The world contains societies with all kinds of beliefs: Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu, atheist, deist and even pagan. Muslims must be compassionate towards all beliefs they come up against, no matter what they may be, and behave forgivingly, justly and humanely. This responsibility placed on believers is to live by the beauty of the religion of God by means of peace and compassion. The decision whether or not to implement these truths, whether or not to believe, lies with each individual himself. Forcing that person to believe, or trying to impose anything on him, is a violation of Qur'anic morality. In fact, God issues a reminder to believers in the Qur'an:
If your Lord had willed, all the people on the Earth would have believed. Do you think you can force people to be believers? (Qur'an, 10:99)
We know best what they say and you [O Muhammad] are not a compeller over them. But warn by the Qur'an whoever fears My warning. (Qur'an, 50:45)
A model of society in which people are forced to worship is completely contradictory to Islamic morality. Belief and worship should be directed to God by the free will of the individual. If a system imposes belief and worship on people, then they will act as if they are religious out of fear of that system. This will mean the encouragement of hypocrisy and no Muslim would approve that. From the point of view of Islamic morality, what really counts is that religion should be lived with the love of God, for God's good pleasure, mercy and paradise in an environment where peoples' consciences are totally free.
The history of Islam is full of the compassionate and understanding practices of Muslim rulers who have respected all religions and built religious freedom with their own hands. For example, Thomas Arnold, a British missionary employed in the service of the Indian government, describes that Islamic morality favors freedom in these words:
But of any organised attempt to force the acceptance of Islam on the non-Muslim population, or of any systematic persecution intended to stamp out the Christian religion, we hear nothing. Had the caliphs chosen to adopt either course of action, they might have swept away Christianity as easily as Ferdinand and Isabella drove Islam out of Spain, or Louis XIV made Protestantism penal in France, or the Jews were kept out of England for 350 years. The Eastern Churches in Asia were entirely cut off from communion with the rest of Christendom, throughout which no one would have been found to lift a finger on their behalf, as heretical communions. So that the very survival of these Churches to the present day is a strong proof of the generally tolerant attitude of the Muhammadan governments towards them.1
God Forbids the Murder of Innocent People
Killing a person for no reason is one of the greatest sins related in the Qur'an:
... if someone kills another person – unless it is in retaliation for someone else or for causing corruption in the earth – it is as if he had murdered all mankind. And if anyone gives life to another person, it is as if he had given life to all mankind. Our Messengers came to them with Clear Signs, but even after that many of them committed outrages in the earth. (Qur'an, 5:32)
... those who do not call on any other deity together with God and do not kill anyone God has made inviolate, except with the right to do so, and do not fornicate; anyone who does that will receive an evil punishment. (Qur'an, 25:68)
As the verse suggests, a person who kills innocent people for no reason is threatened with a great torment. God informs us that killing even a single person is as evil as murdering all mankind on earth. A person who observes God's limits can do no harm to a single human, let alone massacre thousands of innocent people. Those who assume that they can avoid justice and thus punishment in this world will never succeed, for they will have to give an account of their deeds in the Presence of God. That is why believers, who know that they will give an account of their deeds after death, are very meticulous to observe God's limits.
All the Conditions of Democracy Can Only Be Met When People Live by Islamic Moral Values
1- SOCIAL JUSTICE: Almighty God commands social justice and sharing
Social justice is one of the basic principles of democracy. People learned social justice from the Prophet Noah (pbuh) and the Prophet Abraham (pbuh). According to religious sources, when the Ark came to dry land after the flood, the Prophet Noah boiled together the small quantities of remaining chickpeas, lentils, raisins, figs, wheat and the like to make a kind of sweet broth. Everyone on the Ark then ate it together. That is social justice, because by this example Prophet Noah teaches everyone equality, solidarity and generosity and the importance of distributing food to all.
As revealed in the Qur'an, in verse 69 of Surah Hud, Our messengers brought the good news to Abraham. They said, 'Peace!' and he too said, 'Peace!' and brought in a roasted calf without delay" the Prophet Abraham immediately killed a calf when guests arrived and had it prepared for them to eat. Almighty God notes that by offering food to people whom he had never met, the Prophet Abraham was behaving in the best way, and wisely stresses the importance of feeding the poor and of social justice.
2- EQUALITY: Almighty God reveals in the Qur'an that no race is superior to any other
As Almighty God reveals in one verse of the Qur'an, superiority lies in piety alone. In this verse God tells us:
Mankind! We created you from a male and female, and made you into peoples and tribes so that you might come to know each other. The noblest among you in God's Sight is the one with the most piety. God is All-Knowing, All-Aware. (Qur'an, 49:13)
Our Prophet (pbuh) expresses this truth commanded by God as follows in the hadiths:
"You are sons of Adam, and Adam came from dust. Let the people cease to boast about their ancestors." (Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 41, Number 5097)
"These genealogies of yours are not a reason to revile anyone. You are all children of Adam. No one has any superiority over another except in religion and taqwa (faithfulness)." (Ahmad, 158/4)
During his final sermon, the Prophet (pbuh) called on Muslims in these terms:
"There is no superiority for an Arab over a non-Arab and for a non-Arab over an Arab; nor for white over the black nor for the black over the white except in piety. Verily the noblest among you is he who is the most pious." (The Prophet Muhammad's Last Sermon; http://www.stanford.edu/ ~jamila/Sermon.html)
3- JUSTICE: Almighty God commands justice
God issues this commandment to believers in the Qur'an: "...You who believe! Be upholders of justice, bearing witness for God alone, even against yourselves or your parents and relatives. Whether they are rich or poor, God is well able to look after them. Do not follow your own desires and deviate from the truth. If you twist or turn away, God is aware of what you do." (Qur'an, 4:135)
The commands that our Prophet (pbuh) issued among Muslims and his just and affectionate attitude toward people of different religions, languages, races and tribes, as well as the way he treated everyone equally, making no distinction between rich and poor as God revealed in the Qur'an, represents an excellent example of the conception of democracy.
In one verse, God tells our Prophet (pbuh):
They are people who listen to lies and consume ill-gotten gains. If they come to you, you can either judge between them or turn away from them. If you turn away from them, they cannot harm you in any way. But if you do judge, judge between them justly. God loves the just. (Qur'an, 5:42)
Our Prophet (pbuh) adhered to God's commandment, even among difficult people, and never made any concessions on justice. As revealed, he always said, "My Lord has commanded justice..." (Qur'an, 8:29), thus serving as a role model for all times.
Democracy Will Come About When People Are Living by the Moral Values Commanded by God
As we have seen, in the essence of Islam, there is intellectual freedom, freedom of faith and expression. Some people assume that democracy entered the history of humanity with the ancient Greeks. However, it is God Who teaches democracy to people. From the time of the Prophet Adam (pbuh), all prophets have been the genuine representatives of intellectual freedom and respect to views. The essence of all the primary concepts – freedom of justice, not putting any pressure upon anyone, treating everyone as a first class citizens, respecting and trusting people, not judging anyone due to his views- which are associated with democracy are present in the morality of religion. Throughout history, people have learned these concepts from the righteous religions revealed by God and witnessed its most beautiful examples during the times when people lived by the righteous religions.
When we look at the times when people were oppressed due to their opinions and their different ideologies, members of various religions were humiliated, while the arts, science and architecture died out; times when people lost their joy in living and almost turned into robots, or when book burnings, murders, massacres, genocides became widespread, we see the influence of irreligious, atheist ideologies or those who misinterpreted religious morality with a radical mindset by distancing it from its essence.
Once God's righteous religion is lived in the form it is commanded by God, the true justice, democracy, respect and love, that people have been longing for, can be experienced. Very soon, democracy, brotherhood, love, friendship and peace will, by God's leave, dominate the world and people will experience the joy, bliss and abundance of faith as much as they can. As one can clearly see from the signs of the verses, hadiths of our Prophet (pbuh) and words of great Islamic scholars, the time in which we live is the End Times. The difficult and troublesome days of the End Times will, in this century, come to end, and the world will enter a brand new, bright era. Communicating the Oneness and Unity of God in the most beautiful and wise manner, and introducing people to Islam as described in the Qur'an and lived in Age of Felicity lays a very important foundation for the bright days that we will attain in the near future. Our wish is that God will also render this article instrumental in attaining the beauties in question. We sincerely hope that the days when we see "people entering God's religion in droves" come at once. God reveals these glad tidings as follows in the Qur'an:
When God's help and victory have arrived and you have seen people entering God's religion in droves, then glorify your Lord's praise and ask His forgiveness. He is the Ever-Returning. (Qur'an, 110:1-3)
God Commands the Faithful to Be Compassionate and Merciful
Islamic morality is described in verses as:
Then to be one of those who have faith and urge each other to steadfastness and urge each other to compassion. Those are the Companions of the Right. (Qur'an, 90:17-18)
As we have seen in this verse, one of the most important features of the morality that will lead believers to salvation on the Day of Judgement and to enter into paradise is "being one of those who urge each other to compassion".
The true source of compassion is love of God. A person's love of God gives rise to his feeling love for the things He has created. Someone who loves God feels a direct link and closeness to the things He has created. This strong love and closeness he feels for the Lord, Who created him and all mankind, leads him to display a pleasing morality, as commanded in the Qur'an. True compassion emerges as he lives by this morality. This morality, full of love, compassion and sacrifice, is described in these verses:
Those of you possessing affluence and ample wealth should not make oaths that they will not give to their relatives and the very poor and those who have made emigration in the way of God. They should rather pardon and overlook. Would you not love God to forgive you? God is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Qur'an, 24:22)
Those who were already settled in the abode and in faith before they came, love those who have migrated to them and do not find in their hearts any need for what they have been given and prefer them to themselves even if they themselves are needy. It is the people who are safe-guarded from the avarice of their own selves who are successful. (Qur'an, 59:9)
... those who have given refuge and help, they are the true believers. They will have forgiveness and generous provision. (Qur'an, 8:74)
Be good to your parents and relatives and to orphans and the very poor, and to neighbors who are related to you and neighbors who are not related to you, and to companions and travellers and your slaves. God does not love anyone vain or boastful. (Qur'an, 4:36)
Charity (zakat) is for the poor, the destitute, those who collect it, reconciling people's hearts, freeing slaves, those in debt, spending in the Way of God, and travellers. It is a legal obligation from God. God is All-Knowing, All-Wise. (Qur'an, 7:60)
This high level of morality that is demanded from believers, described in the Qur'an, stems from their deep love of God. Thanks to their devotion to God, they scrupulously abide by the morality revealed by Him in the Qur'an. Believers never try to make people feel indebted because of the compassion they demonstrate and the help they offer people, and do not even expect to be thanked. Their true aim is to try to gain God's good pleasure by means of the morality they exhibit, because they know that they will be called to account for that morality on the Day of Judgment. In the Qur'an, God has expressly revealed that hell will be the outcome for those who knowingly refuse to live by the morality of the Qur'an:
"What has brought you into hell-fire?" They will say, "We were not among those who prayed and we did not feed the poor." (Qur'an, 74:42-44)
Seize him and bind him, and then expose him to hell-fire, then fasten him with a chain seventy cubits long! For he did not believe in God Almighty, nor did he urge the feeding of the poor. (Qur'an, 69:30-34)
Have you seen him who denies the religion? He is the one who harshly rebuffs the orphan and does not urge the feeding of the poor. (Qur'an, 107:1-3)
... nor do you urge the feeding of the poor (Qur'an, 89:18)
As we have seen in these verses, the Muslim described in the Qur'an possesses a most loving and compassionate nature. Nobody who possesses this morality can of course consent to terrorism or acts of violence directed at innocent people. Terrorists' characters are the exact opposite of Qur'anic morality. A terrorist is a ruthless person who looks with hatred on the world, and wants to kill, destroy and shed blood.
A Muslim raised in the morality as revealed in the Qur'an, however, approaches everyone with the love expected by Islamic morality, respects ideas of all kinds, always tries to bring harmony where there is discord, lower tensions, embrace all sides and behave with moderation. Societies consisting of people like this will be ruled by a more developed civilization, and enjoy greater social morality, harmony, justice and plenty than can be seen in even the most modern nations today.
God has Commanded Forgiveness and Compassion
The concept of forgiveness and compassion, described in the command, "Make allowances for people" (Qur'an, 7:199) is one of the most fundamental tenets of Islam.
When we look at the history of Islam, the way that Muslims have translated this important feature of Qur'anic morality into the life of society can be seen quite clearly. As we shall be considering in later parts of the book, throughout history sincere Muslims have always brought with them an atmosphere of freedom and understanding wherever they have gone. They have enabled people whose religions, languages and cultures are completely different from one another to live together in peace and harmony under one roof, and provided peace and harmony for its own members. One of the most important reasons for the centuries-long existence of the Ottoman Empire, which spread over an enormous region, was the atmosphere of compassion and understanding that Islamic morality brought with it and practiced largely in the empire. Muslims, who have been known for their understanding and loving natures for centuries, have always been the most compassionate and just of people. Within this multi-national structure, all ethnic groups have been free to live according to their own religions, and their own rules.
True compassion and understanding can only bring peace and well-being to the world when implemented along the lines set out in the Qur'an. This fact is revealed in a verse which reads: "A good action and a bad action are not the same. Repel the bad with something better and, if there is enmity between you and someone else, he will be like a bosom friend." (Qur'an, 41:34)
In the verses of the Qur'an, God has always described forgiveness as a superior quality, and in one verse, He has given the good news that such behavior will be rewarded: "The repayment of a bad action is one equivalent to it. But if someone pardons and puts things right, his reward is with God. Certainly He does not love wrongdoers." (Qur'an, 42:40) In another verse, some features of the believers are stated as: "those who give in times of both ease and hardship, those who control their rage and pardon other people – God loves the good-doers" (Qur'an, 3:134). God has revealed in the Qur'an that it is virtuous behavior to forgive someone even if one has been wronged. One verse on the subject reads:
...You will never cease to come upon some act of treachery on their part, except for a few of them. Yet pardon them, and overlook. God loves good-doers. (Qur'an, 5:13)
All of this shows that the morality that Islam recommends to mankind brings to the world the virtues of peace, harmony and justice. The horror known as terrorism, that is so preoccupying the world at present, is the work of ignorant and fanatical people, completely estranged from Qur'anic morality, and who have absolutely nothing to do with religion. The solution to these people and groups who try to carry out their savagery under the mask of religion is the teaching of true Qur'anic morality. In other words, Islam and Qur'anic morality are solutions to the scourge of terrorism, not supporters of it.

Three state legislators from Northern Virginia couldn�t care less what Grover Norquist thinks about the state�s transportation funding dilemma, while a fourth appears to side with the anti-tax czar.
Norquist, the no-new-tax crusader and founder of Americans for Tax Reform and its Taxpayer Protection Pledge (TPP), weighed in this month on pitches from several state politicians to raise the state�s gas tax. Specifically, Norquist urged legislators not to link the gas tax to inflation, a measure that�s been offered up by state Del. Tom Rust (R-Dist. 86).
Virginia�s gas tax rate of 17.5 cents per gallon hasn�t been altered since 1986.
�By indexing the gas tax to inflation, it would create a new fuel tax regime, which would raise taxes on countless Virginia families and businesses, as well as put future tax increases on autopilot,� Norquist wrote to state legislators last month.
Norquist, whose pledge states that legislators won�t raise marginal tax rates and that they�ll oppose net reduction unless matched by another cut, notes that higher fuel costs will adversely hurt the state�s business environment. Virginia was recently listed as the second best state for doing business by Forbes.
Americans for Tax Reform�s TPP has become �de riguer for GOP candidates running for federal or statewide offices across the country,� according to The Hill newspaper. More than 1,400 current or incoming U.S. congressmen and state legislators have signed the pledge.
In his letter on the state�s gas tax, Norquist continues, �The transportation woes Virginia faces are not because of the gas tax. Richmond has spent too much money; in other words, it�s a spending problem not a revenue problem. If spending had been capped at the rate of inflation and population growth, Virginia would have spent $21.6 billion less between 1999 and 2009, saving more than enough to address Virginia�s transportation needs.�
Del. Randy Minchew (R-Dist. 10), who signed the TPP, disagrees. Minchew doesn�t see indexing the gas tax as a tax hike. Rather, it�s more of a �user�s fee,� he said.
�I feel it should have been indexed in 1986,� Minchew said.
Minchew�s freshman colleague in the House of Delegates, David Ramadan (R-Dist. 87), however, doesn�t believe indexing the tax is the answer. Also a signer of the TPP, Ramadan said the better solution is making transportation funding a higher priority within the state�s general fund. Ramadan echoed the sentiment that the state�s budget woes stem from a spending problem rather than a revenue problem.
�I do believe it�s an increase in taxes,� Ramadan said. �What we need in the state is comprehensive tax reform.�
Both Ramadan and Minchew have expressed optimism in recent interviews that a transportation funding bill at least in modest form will pass the General Assembly this year. The two legislators pointed to 2013 being Gov. Bob McDonnell�s final year in office as one reason for that optimism. McDonnell campaigned on, and has long advocated for, a fix to transportation funding, something that could be hailed as a legacy achievement.
Rust, a veteran in the statehouse, said he�s patroned a transportation bill that includes binding the gas tax with inflation. Rust said his colleagues need to hunker down and come together to solve the �transportation crisis.� Rust said the state needs to find $1 billion in revenue to adequately address its transportation needs.
�It�s a quality of life issue. It�s an economic issue. It affects everyone in this region,� Rust said.
State Sen. Mark Herring (D-Dist. 33) also favors indexing the gas tax. He supported the measure in transportation legislation in the 2012 session, a bill that passed the split Senate 20 Republicans and 20 Democrats but was defeated in the House of Delegates.
�While indexing the gas tax itself is nowhere near sufficient to addressing our transportation funding shortfall, I would support it in the future as part of a larger, comprehensive transportation package,� Herring said.
Virginia�s General Assembly will convene in Richmond for the 2013 session Jan. 9.

This small satellite was deployed by the Apollo 15 crew shortly before leaving lunar orbit. The probe was designed around a 35.6-centimeter-diameter hexagonal structure that was equipped with three instrument booms. Power supply came from solar panels and chemical batteries.
The instruments measured the strength and direction of interplanetary and terrestrial magnetic fields, detected variations in the lunar gravity field, and measured proton and electron flux. The satellite confirmed Explorer 35's finding that while Earth's magnetic field deflects the incoming solar wind into a tail, the Moon acts as a physical barrier due to its weak field and creates a "hole" in the wind.
An electronic failure on 3 February 1972 formally ended the mission. Although it originally had a one-year design life, all mission objectives were fulfilled.

This story was updated at 3:55 p.m. June 20, 2013.
Washington Gas workers have clamped down a natural gas line that was spewing gas into a Germantown neighborhood for hours, forcing some families to evacuate and others to stay locked down inside their homes.
The break occurred at about 11 a.m. on a gas line near Scenery Drive and Brandermill Drive in Germantown, affecting about 240 families. Fire and Washington Gas officials have alternately reported the break in a 12-inch line and an 8-inch gas line.
"Everyone is back in their home," said Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Assistant Chief Scott Graham, adding that about 70 families do not have gas power for their appliances.
"When [Washington Gas] repairs the line, they'll recharge it, and then go to each home and make sure their appliances are restarted," he said.
The repair crews shut off valves on corners adjacent to the break, he said.
"That pressure was pushing up through 5 or 6 feet of dirt," he said. Photos posted of the break showed a cloud of vaporized gas and dirt on the deserted street.
In the zone where the gas was flammable, anything as mundane as flipping a light switch or ringing a doorbell could have caused the gas to ignite, Graham said.
"That's why we hurried up and canvassed the neighborhood with our personnel to make sure none of that happened," he said.
Ruben Rodriguez, a spokesman for Washington Gas, said the break had been caused by an independent contractor performing "directional drilling."
Just before 1 p.m., workers from Washington Gas had reduced pressure and were working to repair the leak, according to Graham.
The gas line is near Capt. James Daly Elementary School. A school official said Fire and Rescue officials had told students and faculty to stay inside. Public safety officials also asked residents not to call 911 seeking information about this particular leak, and save the line for actual emergencies.
Montgomery County Police was also on scene, assisting with traffic control, said Montgomery County Police spokeswoman Rebecca Innocenti.

Bucs drop season opener to The Citadel, 4-1
Friday, February 19, 2010
CHARLESTON, S.C. (Feb. 19, 2010) - A three-run third for The Citadel turned out to be the difference as the ETSU baseball team dropped its season opener Friday to the Bulldogs at Joseph P. Riley Jr. Park in Charleston, S.C., 4-1.
The Bucs (0-1) got a good outing from junior Chas Byrne (Johnson City, Tenn.) who went 6.0 innings giving up four runs (three earned) on six hits with four strikeouts and only one walk.
Asher Wojciechowski picked up the win for the Bulldogs (1-0) going 7.0 innings allowing one run on three hits with nine strikeouts.
"Today was a tough match up for us," said head coach Tony Skole. "I thought we did some things real well, and obviously there are some things we need to improve on. Chas Byrne and Scott McNally were both very good today. I thought Chas gave us a great start. He is only going to get better and better as the season progresses, while Scott was very good in his first college outing."
Sophomore Bo Reeder (Cookeville, Tenn.) got the Bucs on the board in the top of the third as he singled up the middle scoring Michael Gonzalez (Jupiter, Fla.) to go ahead 1-0.
The Citadel jumped in front 2-1 in the bottom of the third as two runs came in to score on a Matt Simonelli single and a Buccaneer throwing error. The Bulldogs added another run in the inning on a Bryan Altman double to take a 3-1 advantage.
In the bottom of the sixth, the Bulldogs extended their lead to 4-1 on an Altman sacrifice fly to right.
Freshman Scott McNally (
ETSU looked to have a rally going in the top of the ninth after getting two on, but The Citadel closer Drew Mahaffey got a strikeout and a fly out to end the game.
"We had some non-competitive at bats today, and I am hopeful that as we see more live pitching that will change," Skole said. "Defensively we have to make routine plays under pressure in order to win. I am hopeful we will be a little better defensively tomorrow."
The Bucs are back in action tomorrow at 11 a.m. as they take on

Comments On Mar 31, 2014:I know better but, I pushed the feeler gauge through the plastic bag it was shipped in. I broke the feeler gauge off. I should have cut bag open first. I should be thankful it did not break off and drop into engine.

Comments On Mar 23, 2014:the feelers work well but aren't fastened to the handle very well so be careful
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Sep 23, 2013:The gauges work fine, but use caution. There is very little feeler gauge around the rivit holding the feeler onto the base. I had one break off inside the top end. Luckily it was on the opposite side of the cam chain. I fished around with a magnet and found the part that broke off.
If that piece broke off on the cam chain, fell into the bottom, it would have been a huge pain.

Comments On Aug 31, 2013:Cheap, buy a couple extras. The angle is perfect for getting blade parallel to surfaces for accurate adjustment. Get a size larger and smaller if you want to get really detailed about measuring before and after to track wear.

With a slice of bacon inside and a tasty barbecue-mayo sauce on top, these are definitely not ordinary burgers. We think you'll agree. —Joan Schoenherr, Eastpointe, Michigan
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup barbecue sauce
- 4 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
- 1-1/2 teaspoons dried minced onion
- 1-1/2 teaspoons steak seasoning
- 1 pound ground beef
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 4 hamburger buns, split
- Lettuce leaves and tomato slices
- In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and barbecue sauce. In another bowl, combine the bacon, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise mixture, onion and steak seasoning; crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into four patties.
- Grill burgers, covered, over medium heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 160° and juices run clear. Top with cheese. Cover and cook 1-2 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Spread remaining mayonnaise mixture over cut sides of bun bottoms. Layer with a lettuce, burger and tomato. Replace tops.

China extends antidumping measures on nonylphenol from India and Taiwan
7:04 AM MDT | April 2, 2013 | Deepti Ramesh
The Ministry of Commerce, PRC (Mofcom; Beijing) says it extended antidumping measures for nonylphenol (NP) imported from India and Taiwan for a further five years, starting 29 March. China originally imposed antidumping duties ranging from 4.08% to 20.38% on NP from India and Taiwan, for 5 years starting 28 March 2007. China launched, in March 2012, a review of the duties in response to applications from Chinese NP manufacturers. Mofcom concluded that dumping of NP from India and Taiwan would continue and once again damage the Chinese industry if the...

Recipe by Carolyn
"This is our favorite yellow cake recipe. I usually don't get to put any icing on before it is gone."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 cups

vanilla extract
2 3/4 cups
all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons
baking powder
1 teaspoon
1 3/4 cups
I've made this cake 9-10 times and only came here to print off a clean copy. I'm shocked by the low reviews and problems reported because this comes out for me every time as high, fluffy, moist, and delicious. If you substitute butter for the shortening, you'll have the cake that made the Magnolia Bakery in Greenwich Village famous.
I did not have a box of yellow cake mix, so decided to try this as I had the ingredients on hand. Not very impressed with this recipe at all. It seems to have too much sugar, as it doesn't rise well and then the sugar caramelizes and forms a hard crust on the out side. The texture was dry and crumbly and did taste a little like cornbread, but not even good tasting cornbread. I felt bad to waste my home made raspberry buttercream on this cake, but that was the only thing that made it edible for my hubby and kids. It is still sitting on the counter being ignored. If you want moist and yummy yellow cake, use 1 box of yellow cake mix and add all called for ingredients, then add an additional egg + a 3.9 oz. box of jello instant pudding. That is a yellow cake worth eating!

Perfect, just as I was hoping it would be when I saw that this recipe called for shortening rather than butter. The little bit of butter flavor that's sacrificed is more than made up for by the fact that you gain incredible moistness, since butter cakes can have a tendency to be dry. I'm sure the recipe is perfect as is, but for added richness, moistness and color I added two more egg yolks. For the lightest texture, be sure to cream the shortening and sugar very well, 2-3 minutes if using a stand mixer. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. When adding the flour mixture with the milk, begin and end with the flour. Thanks for posting the recipe - I couldn't have been more pleased!
Very delicious. I've been looking for a good recipe using all-purpose flour (instead of cake flour) and this is it. I used the exact ingredients but increased the recipe to fill an 11x15 pan. I got a little nervous when the middle didn't crown but it was fully cooked, I didn't have to level it off and the texture was better than I expected. Thanks!!
** Revision ** I made this for the 2nd time today and the finished texture was very light and fluffy! Thorougly creaming the shortening & sugar is definitely the answer. I didn't have enough shortening so I ended up using 50/50 shortening/butter, which I beat together for a few minutes before adding the sugar. The creamed mixture should look silky and light, sort of like whipped butter. After I added the last of the milk, I turned the mixer speed up a little (one setting above "stir") and beat for about 30 sec. The batter looked smoother this time and had a nice body to it, not runny as with some box mixes. This recipe does work and will be my only yellow cake from now on. Thanks SO MUCH!
Finally the moist cake I've been looking for-I used all butter and made my own chocolate icing.Great.In fairness if you are not used to making scratch cakes,give a few times to perfect your technique here. You can't expect to have your first scratch cake come out great and must follow directions.Ingredients act differently if not done according to directions. It's a keeper and am adding a pic. Will say though it was hard to get out of greased pan, will use parchment on bottom next time.
This is an 'award winning' recipe! I've been making it for the past 2 year and this summer entered a cake in the local fair. There was enough batter in one recipe to make 3 short 8" round layers, I used coconut flavoring instead of vanilla and homemade buttercream. I won first place and best of show, one of the judges wrote on my tag that it was one of the best cakes she had ever eaten!
Wonderful, easy yellow cake recipe! I used half butter and half butter-flavored shortening and added one extra egg (guess I could call it five egg yellow cake) and baked it in two 9 inch cake pans. I could tell just by the batter this was going to be a moist, delicious cake. It's worthy of you're best chocolate icing! I used "Chocolate Butter-Creme Icing" from this site. This one's a definite keeper.

Cheryl Howard, Brad Yewer win SoCon Outdoor Track and Field titles
Saturday, April 19, 2003BOONE, N.C. (April 19, 2003) - East Tennessee State University track and field teams finished the final day of the 2003 Southern Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships with two SoCon titles from junior high jumper, Cheryl Howard (Wyalusing, Pa.), and sophomore distance runner Brad Yewer (Newbury, England). The Buccaneer women finished fifth overall, while the men finished sixth. After two tough days of competition and poor weather conditions the Buccaneers rebounded to have several all-conference performers. "Yesterday it was cold and rainy and we didn't handle the adversity well," Buccaneer assistant Michelle Byrne. "We had a good second day marked by some tenacious individual performances." Howard won the women's high jump, jumping 5-05, while Yewer won the 1500 meters with a time of 3:51.16. Howard and Yewer's titles capped off the end of two impressive seasons. Howard was the 2003 SoCon indoor champion and Yewer's title marks his fourth of the season. Not only did Yewer win three indoor titles, but he was also named the championships most outstanding performer. Kristin Truman (Johnson City, Tenn.) and Kim Simmons (Knoxville, Tenn.) both finished second in their respective events. Truman finished second in the javelin (114-07) and heptathlon (4094) while Simmons placed second in the 400 meters setting a regional qualifying time of 54.96. "Kristin and Kim were tenacious the entire weekend," said Byrne. "Kristin competing in the heptathlon and the javelin and Kim running in six races, including the 400 meters and 400 hurdles, they were warriors." The women's relay teams also performed well. The 4x400 meters squad placed second, while the 4x100 meter team placed third. The 4x400 team, made up of Chantelle Vernon (Markham, Ontario), Natasha Peyton (Chesterfield, Va.), Tiffany Collier (Atlanta, Ga.), Simmons, finished the race with a time of 3:50.42. The 4x100 squad finished the race in 47.39. On the men's side, Marcus Barnes (Memphis, Tenn.) finished fourth in the 100 meters and Jeremey Snoderly (Knoxville, Tenn.) finished fourth, in the high jump (6-05), in his strongest performance of the year. In the men's 400 meter hurdles, Buccaneer sophomore Donald Cabbler (Roanoke, Va.) led most of the way before falling, but still managed to finish sixth. "We ended this season on a high note," added Byrne "If we can put together two strong days back-to-back than I truly believe we can be as high as third next year." Appalachian State's men's and women's teams swept the 2003 outdoor meet and captured the triple crown in Boone, N.C. Appalachian State completed the triple crown by winning the 2002 SoCon Cross-Country team title, the 2003 SoCon Indoor Track and Field team title, and finally by winning the 2003 SoCon Outdoor Track and Field team title.
