Fariq Naik – Strategies Used the Media to Malign Islam

The second strategy used by the media and by the critics of Islam

in order to malign Islam is that they see certain things about

Islam, which are absolutely alien to Islam, which do not exist in

Islam. And there was a famous writer, a famous writer by the

name of Taslima Nasreen. She said that the the Glorious Quran says

that the sun revolves around the Earth. So how can we believe in

such a logical book? If you want to advance? I challenge any human

being to point out a single verse of the Glorious Quran which says

that the sun revolves around the Earth. What does Allah subhanaw

taala say? Allah subhanaw taala says in the Glorious Quran in

surah Ambia chapter number 21 was the metallic three who a lady

halacha Leila when the hara was shamsur Well, Kumar Kowloon people

again, yes, behold, it is Allah who has created the night and the

day, the sun and the moon, each in its orbit moving in its own

motion. And I explain regarding the meaning of the word yes,

behold, which refers to the motion of the Sun besides it revolving,

it even rotates about its own axis. So Nowhere does the Glorious

Quran say that the sun, it revolves around the Earth.

So therefore, when we are talking to people of other faiths, we

should talk about the commonality and, and we should talk about

Tawheed that is the Oneness of Allah subhanho wa taala. The

fourth from among the strategies used by the media and the critics

in order to malign Islam. It is they say certain things about

Islam, and they say because of this, Islam, it is the problem for

humanity.

For example, the media says Muslims are fundamentalist Muslims

are terrorists. What is the meaning of the word

fundamentalist? Fundamentalist by definition means a person who

follows the fundamentals of a particular subject. For example,

for a person to be a good mathematician, he should know,

follow and strive to practice the fundamentals of maths unless he's

a fundamentalist in the field of maths, he cannot be a good

mathematician, for a person to be a good scientist he should know,

follow and strive to practice the fundamentals of maths unless he's

a fundamentalist in the field of maths, he cannot be a good

mathematician. For a person to be a good scientist he should know

follow and strive to practice the fundamentals of science. Unless

he's a fundamentalist in the field of science, he cannot be a good

scientist, you cannot paint all fundamentalist with the same brush

that all our good or all are banned. Depending upon which field

the person is a fundamentalist, you have to label them

accordingly. For example, there is a fundamentalist robber whose

profession is to rob he's a bane for the society. On the other

hand, there is a fundamentalist doctor whose profession is to save

human lives. He's a bone for his a boon for the society. As far as

I'm concerned, I am a fundamentalist Muslim, and I am

proud to be a fundamentalist Muslim, because I know and I

strive to practice the fundamentals of Islam. And I know

that is not a single fundamental of a slab, which is against

humanity as a whole. I challenge any human being to point out a

single fundamental of a slab, which is against humanity as a

whole.

There may be some fundamentals with someone might take that

against humanity. But the moment to give the logical background,

there is not a single fundamental of Islam, which is against

humanity as a whole. According to the Webster Dictionary,

fundamentalist was first used to describe a group of American

Protestant Christians. The Christian Church believed that the

Bible was the Word of God, these American Protestant Christians,

they not only believe that the Bible was the Word of God, but

they believed every word, every letter of the Bible is the Word of

God.

According to the Oxford Dictionary, fundamentalists is a

person who strictly adheres to the ancient doctrinal of any religion.

And in the revised edition of the Oxford Dictionary, fundamentalists

is a person who strictly adheres to the ancient doctrine of any

religion, especially Islam. This word, especially Islam has been

added in the revised edition of the Oxford Dictionary. The moment

you hear the word fundamentalist, you start thinking of a Muslim,

you start think of an extremist, and the Muslims are apologetic.

No, no, no, I'm not an extremist. I tell the people I am an

extremist. I'm extremely kind. I'm extremely loving. I'm extremely

just I'm extremely honest. I'm extremely kind. What's wrong and

being an extremist? Why are we apologetic? What's wrong in being

extremely kind, extremely honest, extremely loving, actually.

To me just extremely truthful, but we should be in extremes in the

right direction. Allah subhanaw taala says in the Glorious Quran

Surah Baqarah Chapter number two verse number 208. Yeah, you

Hallerin Manu, the Hulu facility Kapha all you who believe enter

into Islam wholeheartedly, you can't say partially when it will

benefit me I'll be just and when it will not benefit me I will not

be just you can't say that when it will benefit me I'll be truthful

and when it will not benefit me I will not be truthful. You should

be an extremist in the right direction. You should not be an

extremist in the wrong direction. So your we realize the media it

misrepresents Islam. It gives a negative picture about Islam and

we Muslims we should not be apologetic. It is time for us to

turn the tables over
