Brother and sister, I just had to share this news.

I've discovered what's possibly an amazing set of applications on the following website:

http://www.guidedways.com

I downloaded their Quran for Mobiles and it's fantastic, never seen anything like it. I can now read the translation while I recite!

Checkout their http://www.guidedways.com/prayertimes/salat_world.php praeyr times page and http://www.guidedways.com/search.php quran search pages.

Very impressive. I have honestly never seen such an amazing search engine for Quran. I think as muslims we lack such technological advancements and must collectively encourage and support people who have made such amazing stuff mashAllah.

Salam,
Muttaqoon

Jihad in Islamic History - Michael Bonner

Understanding Jihad - David Cook

Both books are introductory primers to the Muslim texts and teachings of Islam in regards to the Muslim concept of Jihad, or holy war. We learn from both these authors that Jihad is an early teaching dating to the time of the prophet Muhammad and confirmed in the pages of the Koran. Western Muslims have frequently spun the primary meaning of Jihad as an interior struggle. However, both authors show that Jihad's default meaning - in the Muslim world, today and throughout history - has been holy war. The holy war in Islam, as interpreted by Ismailis, all schools of Sunni jurisprudence and Kharijites, is to conquer non-Muslim lands and install an Islamic state where the people submit to the laws of Islam. Non-Muslims residing outside of Dar-al-harb (House of war) are given three choices; convert to Islam, retain their religion and live as second class citizens to foreign rulers, or take one's chances on the field of battle, where the ultimate stakes are death (execution) for all post-pubescent males and enslavement for the women and children. The holy warriors fighting non-Muslims throughout the world are the heirs of an unbroken chain of violent fanatics dating to the first Jihad in Islam under Muhammad.

Allah's Apostle said: "I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah's Apostle, and offer the prayers perfectly and give the obligatory charity, so if they perform a that, then they save their lives and property from me except for Islamic laws and then their reckoning (accounts) will be done by Allah.

- Prophet Muhammad

Here's a link to a series of articles by Danios on Religious wars - addressing the Islamophobic myth about Islam's stance on Jihad.

http://www.loonwatch.com/2011/05/the-bi ... -infidels/

^ Interestingly, the article has nothing to do with Islam but rather is a poorly researched 'what-aboutery' proof-texting certain passages on the Bible.

You'd at least think Muslims would at least be willing to engage historical reality than wallow in fantasy.

I guess that's all 'moderates' are capable of, lashing out when they are angered at scholarly research into Islam.

Another book I'd like to recommend:

Jihad in the West: Muslim Conquests from the 7th to the 21st Centuries - Paul Fregosi

The author passed away months prior to 9/11 and published this book in 1993, I believe, but his insights into Islamic militancy are truly prophetic. This was an analyst who foresaw a confrontation between the West and militant Islam years before the embassy bombings, USS Cole and Palestinian suicide attacks. His book, as the title suggests, chronicles the Jihad from the very beginning, to the invasion of Spain and 8 century long occupation and subsequent reliberation, to the fall of Constantinople to the resistance of Turk invaders in the Balkans. The author pieced together the history of Islam and the existence of militant Islam in the present day to conclude the Western and Islamic world were headed for another collission course. Of course, the author was right. Let's hope others learn from what the author knew to prevent mistakes of the past.

Addresses some questions the devil worshippers have

- Decoding the past , Secrets of the Quran

Keep up the study, to prevent idiotic comments and topics in the Politics, Religion and Philosophy section , The bufoon has hopes out of his predicament

Generally speaking, Islam is taken to be a very humorless religion where it is strictly prohibited to laugh and enjoy the benefits of this mortal world. There is no scope of humor and witty writings. Now the Muslims are known in the West for suicide bombers who hate the joys of life. In their wisdom Islam is a religion, which promotes terrorism.

This concept is far from reality and due to the rude behavior of Mullahs (so called Islamic Scholars) who exert all their energies to frighten others from hell and damnation. I don't want to say that they should not frighten people from hell and damnation but it is not enough to highlight the true image of Islam. Indeed Islam in itself is a complete code, which covers all spheres of life. Indeed Allah and Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) encourage the human beings to enjoy benefits and delights of this world which are bestowed to the human beings. There is no concept of monkery in Islam.

The humorous and witty literature is concerned, generally, it is presumed that there is no room for such literature and force is derived from the following Hadith (saying of Prophet Muhammad [Peace be upon Him]):-

The Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "The man who narrates something to make other laugh will be hurled to hell."

However, such respected scholars of the religion forget this hadith which states:

"One who tells a lie to make others laugh will be hurled to hell."

The combined reading of the above two ahadith (sayings of Prophet) makes it abundantly clear that though the humor is not prohibited in Islam, however, making false statement for the purpose of making others laugh is prohibited. While discussing the disposition of the Holy Prophet (PBUH), his companions (may Allah please with them) say that his light discussion used to adorn worried faces with pleasant smiles and His delightful discussion makes the atmosphere of the congregations pleasant and charming.
