My Name is Sajda Kausar. I belong to a Muslim Background. As I am very fond of reading and researching on religious and social stuff. So I have found different perceptions regarding different religions in all over the world. Well, I have come to know that the most criticizing religion is Islam by different communities. There are different reasons but the root cause is "Miss-conception".
- First and foremost misconception is "Islam is against to Freedom of speech".Well, let me clear it with Quranic References and History as well :Allah has sent 1,24,000 Messengers, Allah gave them authority to speak freely in order to make people liberal. So, how could people say that Islam is against to freedom of speech while Islam is the religion who has been conquered through freedom of speech.
- secondly You are not bound to be a Muslim, As Allah Says in Surah-e-Kafiroon .
"Say, O You Disbeliever !
I do not worship what You Worship !
For you is Your Religion !
And For Me is My Religion !"
- Third and most conservative misconception is that "Islam has bound it's women". Well, Right now Muslims have two most important holy things "Ka'aba & Quraan". Quraan and Kaaba have always been covered with a beautiful cover.That is how Islam gave respect to its women. There is no religion on this planet who gave that much respect to their women.Women are not bound to covered their face but they are ordered by Allah to cover their selves in order to make them pure. Neither Islam is against to the Education of women nor against to their career. I am also an Islamic woman , right now I am doing everything which is good for me apart from any bounding.
- Fourth misconception is that "Islam is Against to Love".In this case I can Say "Yes" Islam is against to love. The trend of "Haram Love" that is going to be adopted by people of every community either Muslim or other. Love is not that much easy , Being sexual and physical with each other seems more easy and We are calling it Love. Love has very much significance in Islam and that is not as much easy to do for everyone. Allah has sent Qura'an for our guidance .Allah Doesn't grant permission of "Lust". Allah Says in Surah-e-Noor, Verse No 26:
"And Women of Purity are for the Men of purity,
And Men of Purity are for the Women of Purity"
On this topic I will write a separate blog for those who wants to know more about Love in Islam.
Well, As far as I am concerned so I am not defending my religion.I am doing what my Islam taught me to speak truth, to take stand for righteous. I am writing what is true. I will definitely defend other religions, Communities and societies as per my knowledge if there would be any misconception about them. 😊
