అయ్యా,ముష్టాఖ్ అహ్మద్!విగ్రహారాధనే అంత పాపమైతే దారి దోపిడీలూ మూకుమ్మడి చంపుళ్ళూ ఇంకెంత పాపం కావాలయ్యా?

Hello Mr.Abhilash,
=======================

          A year after his arrival in Medina, and thirteen years after his ‘call’, the apostle of Allah prepared himself for war in obedience to the command of Allah that he should attack the idolaters. He was then fifty‑three years old.

          Religious hostility and a measure of personal resentment against the Quraysh idolaters were deeply implanted in the mind of the apostle. He had sworn vengeance against them and, now that his followers were settled in Medina, he felt the time had come to make good his threats.

          Not far from Medina was the main caravan route which the Quraysh used in their trade with the north. Frankincense, silk, precious metals and leather passed regularly back and forth between Mecca, Syria, Abyssinia, and the Yemen. The prizes were too rich not to add an irresistible weight to basically religious and political impulses. And attack on the caravans of the Quraysh meant an attack on what was simultaneously their weakest and most valued link.

          This was the first occasion on which the white banner of Muhammad was seen. Muhammad sent out from Medina sixty or eighty of the Emigrants, led by Ubayda; none of the Helpers accompanied them. They rode as far as the water in the Hijaz and there found a great trading caravan of Quraysh from Mecca. There was no battle, but Sad shot an arrow which was the first arrow shot in Islam. Then the parties separated. Two men fled from the Unbelievers to join the Muslims; these were al‑Miqdad and Utba.

          At the same time, the apostle sent his uncle, Hamza, with thirty riders to the sea‑coast at al‑Is; there they met a party of three hundred men from Mecca, led by Abu Jahl, but a man named Majdi ‑who was on good terms with both sides ‑mediated between them and they separated without coming to blows. Hamza also bore a white banner which had been tied on by Muhammad, and some say that this was the first time the banner was seen; but his expedition and that of Ubayda occurred at the same time and this has caused the confusion.

          The apostle himself next went forth in search of the Quraysh and reached Buwat, in the direction of Radwa. But he returned to Medina without encountering his enemies and remained in Medina for some weeks before he again went forth. He passed through the valley of the Banu Dinar, then through Fayfau‑l-Khabar, then halted under a tree in the valley of Ibn Azhar. Food had been prepared for him nearby; there he prayed, and there his mosque is. He and his companions ate, and the very spot on which his cooking‑vessel stood is still known. He continued his journey until he reached al‑Ushayra in the valley of Yanbu and remained there for a month, forming alliances with neigh­bouring tribes along the sea‑coast, before returning to Medina. He encountered no enemies, the caravan from Mecca ‑ com­manded by Abu Sufyan ‑ having passed before he reached al‑Ushayra.

          When he returned from the expedition to al‑Ushayra, the apostle remained at Medina for only ten nights before he had to sally out against one Kurz, who had plundered the herds of Medina. He marched as far as the valley of Safawan in the region of Badr, but was unable to overtake Kurz, and returned to Medina, where he remained for a further two months. This was the first expedition to Badr.

          Shortly after this expedition to Badr the apostle sent Abdullah b. Jahsh and eight Emigrants on a journey. He gave a letter to Abdullah, but ordered him not to read it till the end of a two days' march; he also told him to avoid giving offence to any of his companions.

          After Abdullah had marched two days' journey, he opened the letter, and found it contained the following instructions: 'Go on to Nakhla, between Mecca and Al‑Taif, and keep watch over the Quraysh there and bring back news of their business.' Abdullah said, 'I read and obey!' Then he told his companions about the letter, and added, 'He has also prohibited me from forcing any one of you to do anything against his will. If, therefore, any of you wishes to earn martyrdom, let him come with me; but if not, let him go back.' All his companions went with him, and none remained behind, but at Bahran two of the travellers lost the camel which they had been riding in turns and they fell behind to look for it. Abdullah marched on with the rest of his companions to Nakhla, where they came upon a Quraysh caravan laden with raisins, tanned hides, and various other goods., and accompanied by four men.

          When the caravan saw Abdullah and his companions they were afraid because they had alighted so near to them, but when Ukkasha – whose head was shaved like that of a pilgrim – approached them, they recovered their confidence and said, “These are pilgrims, and we need have no fear of them.’

          This took place on the last day of the sacred month Rajab [October]. Abdullah and his companions conferred among themselves: ‘If we allow these people to continue and reach sacred territory tonight, they will be safe from us; but if we attack them now, we profane the sacred month.’ And they vacillated and hesitated to attack, but at last mustered up their courage and agreed to slay as many of the Quraysh as they could, and take possession of what they had with them. So Waqid shot an arrow and killed one of the Quraysh, two others were made prisoner, and the fourth fled.

          Then Abdullah, with his companions, the caravan, and the prisoners, returned to Medina, saying, One fifth part of our plunder belongs to the apostle of Allah.’ This was before Allah had made it encument on Believers to give up a fifth part of any booty to Him. One fifth of the caravan was set aside for the apostle of Allah, and Abdullah distributed the rest anong his companions.

          When they arrived at Medina, however, the apostle said, 'I did not command you to fight in the holy month, and he walked away from the caravan and the prisoners, and refused to take anything from them. The captors were crestfallen and decided they were doomed, and their Muslim brethren too, reproved them for their deed. In Mecca, the Quraysh were saying: “Muhammad and his companions have violated the sacred month; they have shed blood in it, and taken booty, and captured prisoners.’ The Jews interpreted the event as a bad omen for the apostle.

          When speculation on the subject became widespread Allah revealed these words to His apostle: 'They will ask thee about the sacred month and the fighting. Say "To fight in the sacred month is a matter of grave import, but to obstruct the worship of Allah and not to believe in Him, to prevent men from entering the holy mosque or to drive them out of it, these are of even graver import." '

          So the apostle of Allah took possession of the caravan and the prisoners. The Quraysh sent men to negotiate for the ransom of the prisoners, but the apostle replied that he could not release them until the two Emigrants who had fallen behind Abdullah to look for their camel returned, because he feared the Quraysh might have met and harmed them. 'If you have killed them, we shall kill our prisoners,' he said. But the two wanderers returned and the apostle released the prisoners, one of them making profession of Islam and remaining in Medina with Muhammad.

          When Allah made plunder permissible He allowed four parts to those who had won it, and one part to Himself and to His apostle, exactly as Abdullah had done with the captured caravan.

          This was the occasion when the first booty was taken by the Muslims, when the first prisoners were taken by the Muslims and when the first man was slain by the Muslims. It was eighteen months since the Emigrants had arrived in Medina.

          Former Saudi Shura Council Member Ibrahim Al-Buleihi Says about What was achieved by Islam in it's 1400 years of existence.

Ibrahim Al-Buleihi: When we want to study religious issue,we go back to our heritage.But when we want to study an earthly matter,such as why we are backward,while others are prosperous,we must search the answer elsewhere,not in our heritage.

Q:where is "elsewhere"?
Ibrahim Al-Buleihi: In the west,without a doubt.
Q:In the wet,not the East?

Ibrahim Al-Buleihi: The East only emulates (the West).Take japan, for example - if not for its openness to western culture,it too would have remained backward.The individualization of the Arab has been erased in this society...

Q:What do you mean by erased Individualism?

Ibrahim Al-Buleihi: He is incapable of independent thinking,and therefore, he rejects what is rejected by society, and accepts what is accepted by society.

Q:So "team spirit" prevails?

Ibrahim Al-Buleihi: It is the spirit of a herd,not of a team.It is the spirit of the herd that cannot fre itself from the captivity of the prevailing culture.Whatever society considers to be good,the individual considers to be good.He is incapable of independent thinking and of benefiting from the cultures of others.He is incapable of stepping out of the mold imposed on him since childhood.

Q:Should the Arab Individual be rebellious, for example?

Ibrahim Al-Buleihi: Not rebellious,but he should seek the truth.He must not efface self and dissolve into the herd.

Q:You criticize the Arabs and praise Israel.Do you think that the Arabs should follow the Israeli model?

Ibrahim Al-Buleihi: No,Israel did not create itself.It is an offshoot of the west.THey are an offshoot of Western Culture.That is why I compared Israel to Australia,New Zealand, and South Africa.I want to make a very important point.

Q:Excuse me,but I have a question.Do you consider the fact that some countries are offshoots of Western Culture to be a food or a bad thing?
Ibrahim Al-Buleihi: It's a positive thing.
Q:So we should be offshoots of the West as well?

Ibrahim Al-Buleihi: No,but we should benefit from this rich experience.It is the West that produced all this prosperity.To this day, we are a burden on the West.Even Japan admits that without benefiting from the West, it would not have developed.

Q:Prosperity in what?

Ibrahim Al-Buleihi In everything.In the value,liberties, and dignity of human beings,as well as in the development of science, of technology, and of life.Do you believe that life today is the same as it was ten centuries back?THe tremendous change was produced by the west.Who else produced it?

Q:But shouldn't the notions of the West - such as human rights - be viewed as an accumulated achievement, In which all societies played a role?
It is not an accumulated achievement.
Q:It was achieved solely by West?

Ibrahim Al-Buleihi: Undoubtedly.Tyranny is a tremendous obstacle, which makes any progress impossible.

Q:Do you believe that this theory applies to Iraq?after the fall of Saddam Hussein,whom you describe as...Iraq has not been permitted to achieve stability.
Ibrahim Al-Buleihi: The whole world has intervened in its affairs, as we have seen.
Q:The west,which you praise so highly,intervenes in Iraq.

Ibrahim Al-Buleihi: No.the west intervened in Japan's affairs as well.and managed to save japan from tyranny. Today,Japan is considered a model of democracy, of liberties,and of all the advantages that the West has produced.

Q:You said that during their conquests at the advent of Islam,the Arabs emerged from the deserts in order to conquest,not to learn.What did you mean by that?

Ibrahim Al-Buleihi: In my view,over the centuries,the Arabs believed - and continue to believe - that they have sufficient knowledge and wisdom, and that they do not need to learn anything from others.Because they appeared,on the stage of history,in order to conquer, not to learn,to teach,not to study...

Q:As guiders,not people seeking guidance of other.

Ibrahim Al-Buleihi: That's right.The delusion of the Arabs persists to this day,even though the entire world has changed.The world has changed, but they still believe that it is their duty to teach others,and it is the duty of others to heed them.The truth is that the Arabs have nothing to offer others,yet they continue...This horrible delusion,this belief in one's own perfection,the belief that others must learn from them,makes impossible for them to benefit from modern culture.

P.S:ఇంత ఉతుకుడు మాటల్ని అసలు వ్యక్తి పేరును ఉదహరించహ్కుండా తెలుగులోకి అనువదించి ఉంటే ఇస్లాముని అత్యంత నీచంగా అవమానించిన అధమాధముడి కింద లెక్క వేసి ఉందేవాళ్ళు నన్ను ముస్లిములే కాదు,హిందువుల్లోని సాధు సజ్జనులు కూడా!పధ్నాలుగు వందల యేళ్ళుగా ప్రపంచంలోని ముస్లిములు ఇతర మతస్థుల మీద పరాన్న భుక్కులుగా బతకడం గురించి ఒక ముస్లిమే కుండబద్దలు కొట్టి చెప్పాకనైనా హరిబాబు చెప్పింది నిజమేనని ఒప్పుకుంటారా?haribabu never tell lies!Every word he told about Islam is thoroughly checked up and all the sources are not a part of "కేవలం బ్రిటీష్ కల్పిత చరిత్ర" like you say.It is a well documented research paper on Islam.He that who denies it must condemn with a documentary proof from the Islamic literature itself or must withdraw that statement "ఈమధ్య ఒక ప్రముఖ బ్లాగర్ (పేరు ప్రస్తావించదలచుకోలేదు.అందరికీ తెలిసిన విషయమే) సాక్ష్యం మేగజైన్ లోని వ్యాసాలను వక్రీకరిస్తూ, ఎగతాళి చేస్తూ ఇస్లాం గురించి ఎవరో ఇస్లాం ద్రోహి వ్రాసిన కట్టుకధలనీ పట్టుకు వేలాడుతూ సాక్ష్యం మేగజైన్ ను ,దాని కంటెంట్ రచయితలలో ఒకరైన M.A.అభిలాష్ కు వార్నింగ్స్ ఇస్తూ ఖబడ్దార్, బస్తీమే సవాల్ అంటూ, సైకో అంటూ విపరీత పదజాలంతో దూషిస్తూ అనేక పోస్టులు తన బ్లాగులో పెట్టారు." immediately!

Still here is a challenge for the author of thus post to prove that haribabu is telling lies and why don't you take up?Do you have any fear of failure in supporting Islam?
-----------------------------

In fact, no ideology has been as genocidal as islam…

          In the total numbers we have updated over 80 million Christians killed by Muslims in 500 years in the Balkan states, Hungary, Ukraine, Russia.

          Then we have India. The official estimate number of Muslim slaughters of Hindus is 80 million. However, Muslim historian Firistha (b. 1570) wrote (in either Tarikh-i Firishta or  the Gulshan-i Ibrahim) that Muslims slaughtered over 400 million Hindus up to the peak of Islamic rule of India, bringing the Hindu population down from 600 mil to 200 million at the time.

          With these new additions the Muslim genocide of non-Muslims since the birth of Mohammed would be over 669 million murders.

No Hindu will convert to Islam how bitter you cry about Idolatry - GO TO HELL!
