T'faddhal!

All terms are dependant in the understanding ability or generally in the way of understanding of someone or a particular group. If I'd tell somebody he's a devil - I guess he or she is upset about this insult. And I guess a devil cannot be a Muslim. That would be a contradiction. Now there rises the question, who's a devil? Am I a devil? Are you a devil? Is anybody else a devil? ...
You know, that I was or I am called "white devil" several times. So according to this I wouldn't be a Muslim, I couldn't be a Muslim at all.
But why I shall be a devil? Because somebody says that or repeats what he has lerned? There are people who say, that it is the absolutely and only truth according to their teachings. But according to my teachings I cannot see in anybody a devil as long he doesn't is one obviousely acting - i.e. by his deeds and intentions. you know, that Allah alway judges us all by our deeds but more by our intentions behind it. There is no difference among the people according to the Quran except by such things. Allah Taala has told us, that He has created us in different colors and shapes for knowing each other to look who is the most trustwothy and righteous etc. He teaches us not to look at the race or status or origin or if you are rich or poor etc. - He teaches us to look at our characters and rightousness and dignity and faith (Iman) and the like. Racial differences are strange to Islam (but unfortnuately not to many Muslims). Tribalism as well. ... We Muslims of different schools are one nation. This is what I have learned. Optical differences or different lengths or what ever we may differ from the other is not the thing which makes us strange. It is our behaviour, our righteousness, our way of treating others, to be a good human being especially because we are Muslims. Insultings are simply bad behaviour, not a Muslim's behavior. Allah has warned us to give bad names to others, because this person doesn't now, if the other he insulted might be better than he or she is. All this and much more shows me, what the nature of Islam is. And it is my inner feeling to try to go this way. The way of patience, of love and brotherhood. Among the Muslims there are a lot of terrible behaviours. When I see that a Muslim is beheading a hostage, then I see a devil by his deeds. This person is not a Muslim according to my feeling. He acts against what Allah and His Messenger has teached. If I see a 9 yers old girl in Yemen or elsewhere who is forced to marry a much older man - I feel much sorry for my little sister. If I see a sister from Nigeria or Somalia sentenced to stoning while everybody knows that she was raped, I am very sad and I pray that Allah may stop these inhuman people who only want to show their power even over the sisters. If I see a child in Baghdad killed only because the murder knows the child is a Shiite - then how is that possible except by influence of the Shaitan. A real Muslim never would do that. And it has obviousely nothing to do whith the color of skin or the belonging to a tribe or or or. We all know what human beings are able to do. And no other creation is doing that except human beings. Too often those know that it is bad and criminal what they do - but they do it. ... I could continue a hundred years. But I believe in the love of Allah and that there is a way away from the evil for everybody - but only if he opens his hearts and is trying to come nearer to Allah free and by heart. It is said, that if you go a step towards Allah, He will go ten steps to you, and if you go a bit faster to His direction He will run to you. And even if all the creatures have leaved you, Allah is there always for you - but only if you give yourselves in His hands. Taqwa. Trust in Allah without any conditions! And respect in His entire creation. Doing good and forbidding evil. First of all on my own side before I tell others to do good or avoid bad. ... And so on and so forth. I am ready to respect anybody - but I cannot respect somebody who insults me, while I have nothing bad done to him. I don't want to share with him or her. But we are responsible for our deeds ourselves and no other human being can take this away from our shoulder. ... We all have to look at our own deeds and intentions for earning the love of Allah Taala. Shaitan is the enemy of all human beings. Na'udhu billahi min ash-Shaytan ar-rajeem!
