ISLAMIC PERCEPTIONISLAMIC PERCEPTION

ON THE SUBJECTON THE SUBJECT

ISLAM IS RELIGION OF PEACE AND CONDEMNS ALL ACTS OF

VIOLENCE DIRECTED TOWARDS INNOCENT MASSES. EVEN DURING

LEGITIMATE DECLARATION OF JEHAD, ISLAM HAS PRESCRIBED

LIMITS; "AND FIGHT IN THE WAY OF ALLAH THOSE WHO FIGHT YOU. 

BUT DO NOT TRANSGRESS LIMITS.  TRULY ALLAH LOVES NOT THE

TRANSGRESSORS”.

((QUR'AN, SURAH AL-BAQARAH (2:190))QUR'AN, SURAH AL-BAQARAH (2:190))

SUICIDE IS FORBIDDENSUICIDE IS FORBIDDEN

"O YE WHO BELIEVE!... [DO NOT] KILL YOURSELVES, FOR TRULY ALLAH

HAS BEEN TO YOU MOST MERCIFUL.  IF ANY DO THAT IN RANCOUR

AND INJUSTICE, SOON SHALL WE CAST HIM INTO THE FIRE..."

QUR'AN 4:29-30)QUR'AN 4:29-30)

THE TAKING OF LIFE IS ALLOWED ONLY BY WAY OF JUSTICE (I.E. THE

DEATH PENALTY FOR MURDER), BUT EVEN THEN, FORGIVENESS IS

BETTER.  "NOR TAKE LIFE - WHICH ALLAH HAS MADE SACRED -

EXCEPT FOR JUST CAUSE..."

QUR'AN QUR'AN (17:33).(17:33).

IN PRE-ISLAMIC ARABIA, RETALIATION AND MASS MURDER WAS

COMMONPLACE. IF SOMEONE WAS KILLED, THE VICTIM'S TRIBE

WOULD RETALIATE AGAINST THE MURDERER'S ENTIRE TRIBE. THIS

PRACTICE WAS DIRECTLY FORBIDDEN IN THE QUR'AN (2:178-179).QUR'AN (2:178-179).

FOLLOWING THIS STATEMENT OF LAW, THE QUR’AN (2:178)QUR’AN (2:178) SAYS,

"AFTER THIS, WHOEVER EXCEEDS THE LIMITS SHALL BE IN GRAVE

CHASTISEMENT“.

NO MATTER WHAT WRONG WE PERCEIVE AS BEING DONE AGAINST

US, WE MAY NOT LASH OUT AGAINST AN ENTIRE POPULATION OF

PEOPLE.

THE QUR'AN ADMONISHES THOSE WHO OPPRESS OTHERS AND

TRANSGRESS BEYOND THE BOUNDS OF WHAT IS RIGHT AND JUST.

"THE BLAME IS ONLY AGAINST THOSE WHO OPPRESS MEN WITH

WRONGDOING AND INSOLENTLY TRANSGRESS BEYOND BOUNDS

THROUGH THE LAND, DEFYING RIGHT AND JUSTICE. FOR SUCH

THERE WILL BE A CHASTISEMENT GRIEVOUS (IN THE HEREAFTER)"

QUR'AN (42:42)QUR'AN (42:42)

HARMING INNOCENT BYSTANDERS, EVEN IN TIMES OF WAR, WAS

FORBIDDEN BY THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD (PEACE BE UPON HIM).

THIS INCLUDES WOMEN, CHILDREN, NONCOMBATANT BYSTANDERS,

AND EVEN TREES AND CROPS. NOTHING IS TO BE HARMED UNLESS

THE PERSON OR THING IS ACTIVELY ENGAGED IN AN ASSAULT

AGAINST MUSLIMS

THE PREDOMINANT THEME IN THE QUR'AN IS FORGIVENESS AND

PEACE. ALLAH (GOD) IS MERCIFUL AND FORGIVING, AND SEEKS

THAT IN HIS FOLLOWERS. INDEED, MOST PEOPLE WHO SPEND TIME

ON A PERSONAL LEVEL WITH ORDINARY MUSLIMS HAVE FOUND THEM

TO BE PEACEFUL, HONEST, HARD-WORKING, CIVIC-MINDED PEOPLE.

"O YE WHO BELIEVE! REMAIN STEADFAST FOR ALLAH, BEARING

WITNESS TO JUSTICE. DO NOT ALLOW YOUR HATRED FOR OTHERS

MAKE YOU SWERVE TO WRONGDOING AND TURN YOU AWAY FROM

JUSTICE. BE JUST; THAT IS CLOSER TO TRUE PIETY."

QUR'AN, SURAH AL-MAIDAH (5:8)QUR'AN, SURAH AL-MAIDAH (5:8)
