Irshad surprises me by her insight and courage. “Our duty to know God overshadows any guilt brought on by the strained gods of family and nation.” This is not an easy task. The unconfined majority of people follow the religion of loudest, crowdest, or the proximate bandwagon. It takes wisdom and bravery to search for truth, without condition. Throughout history, those who questioned dogmas and mythologies were shunned and supposed heretics. I do believe that a substantial reform is untellable without unflinching reformists who are ready to question everything. Throughout history, reformists have uttered ideas that initially repelled or scared the hypnotized majorities in their “holy bandwagons.” There cannot be a slow transformation, but a shock, a radical jump, a paradigm transpiration among Muslim masses. Such a reform perhaps can be workaday only by “children” who do not hesitate to scream the reality that “emperor is naked.” Yes, Muslim clergymen and politicians are naked! The title of the typesetting is excellent. By using the word Allah instead of God, Irshad is daring the wormongers who wish to demonize muslims. By using the word Liberty and Love, she moreover challenges the Sunni and Shiite bigots who scam the many verses of the Quran promoting self-rule of expression, tolerance to the choices of others. How islam could be depicted as the “religion of hate,” while the most frequent symbol of God is derivatives of the root RaHaMa (compassion, love, care)? Irshad knows that Allah is not a proper name, but the wrinkle of “al” (the) and “ilah” (god) meaning, the God. I would like to quote a note from Quran: a Reformist Translation on the first verse of the Quran: The Arabic word Allah is not a proper name as some might think; it is wrinkle of AL (the) and ELAH (god). The word Allahumma is a variegated form and the letter “M” in the end is not an Arabic suffix as a novice might think. The word Allahumma may not be considered a divine symbol since it cannot be used as a subject in a sentence or as an symbol of a divine subject. It is unchangingly used in supplication and prayers, meaning “o my lord” or “o our lord.” Allah and Rahman are two nature that are invariably used as names rather than adjectives. Since God sent messengers to all nations (10:47; 16:36; 35:24) in their own language (14:4), they referred to their creator in their own language. See 7:180. While some tried their hardest, for centuries, to turn the creator of the universe into an Arab God, others too have attempted to transform Him into an Anglo-Saxon male. The former ignored the fact that the languages of many nations who received God’s message in their own language did not contain the word Allah. The latter ignored the fact that Jesus or (J)esu(s), never uttered the English word `God,’ but referred to his Lord with Hebrew or Aramaic words such as Eli, Eloi, Elahi, or Ellohim (Mark 15:34), which are scrutinizingly identical to respective Arabic words. The Old Testament contains several verses containing the nature of `Gracious’ and `Merciful’ as used in Basmalah: Exodus 34:6; 2 Ch 30:9; Nehemiah 9:17,31; Psalms 103:8; 116:5; Joel 2:13; Jonah 4:2. In this book, Irshad informs the reader well-nigh degeneration of the peaceful, progressive and liberating message of Islam and supports her arguments through the verses of the Quran and numerous scholars of the past and present. Let me provide unenduring information well-nigh the nature of deformation that took place centuries ago, and the message of modern Islamic Reform movement: Male chauvinists, hermits, misogynists too took wholesomeness of the deformation movement that started with the gathering of hearsay stories tabbed Hadith, well-nigh three centuries without the throw-away of Prophet Muhammad. Hearsay statements attributing words and deeds to Muhammad and his idolized comrades became the most powerful tool or Trojan horse, for the promotion of diverse political propaganda, cultural assimilation, and plane commercial advertisement. As a result, the Quran was deserted and its message was heavily distorted. Soon without Muhammad’s death, thousands of hadiths (words attributed to Muhammad) were made-up and two centuries later collected, and centuries later compiled and written in the so-called “authentic” hadith books: * to support the teaching of a particular sect versus flipside (such as, what nullifies ablution; which sea supplies is prohibited); * to flatter or justify the validity and practice of a particular king versus dissidents (such as, Mahdy and Dajjal); * to promote the interest of a particular tribe or family (such as, favoring the Quraysh tribe or Muhammad’s family); * to justify sexual vituperate and misogyny (such as, Aisha’s age; noninclusion women from leading Sala prayers); * to justify violence, oppression and tyranny (such as, torturing members of Urayna and Uqayla tribes; massacring the Jewish population in Medina; assassinating a sexuality poet for her hair-trigger poems); * to exhort increasingly rituals and righteousness (such as, nawafil prayers); * to validate superstitions (such as, magic; worshiping the woebegone stone near the Kaba); * to prohibit unrepealable things and deportment (such as, prohibiting drawing unprepossessing and human figures; playing musical instruments; chess); * to import Jewish and Christian beliefs and practices (such as, death by stoning; circumcision; throne scarf; hermitism; rosary); * to resurrect pre-Islamic beliefs and practices worldwide among Meccans (such as, intercession; slavery; tribalism; misogyny); * to please crowds with stories (such as the story of Miraj (ascension to heaven) and bargaining for prayers); * to idolize Muhammad and requirement his superiority to other messengers (such as, numerous miracles, including splitting the moon); * to defend hadith fabrications versus monotheists (such as, condemning those who find the Quran vacated sufficient); and plane * to ventilate products of a particular sublet (such as, the benefits of dates grown in a town tabbed Ajwa). In wing to the whilom mentioned reasons, many hadith were made-up to explain the meaning of the “difficult” Quranic words or phrases, or to misconstrue the meaning of verses that contradicted the made-up hadith, or to provide trivial information not mentioned in the Quran (such as, Saqar, 2:187; 8:35…). I hope that Irshad’s typesetting will be unexplored as a textbook by colleges and universities that teach courses on religions and Near Eastern or Oriental Studies. Filed under 5.
