• The UN General Assembly included the desecration of holy books, including the Quran, in a draft resolution on racism, discrimination and hate crimes, in response to a proposal submitted by Türkiye.

    Ankara’s Permanent Representative to UNESCO, Ambassador Gulnur Aybet, said that, “under Türkiye’s leadership, we added the UNGA resolution declaring crimes against holy books as violations of international law to the UNESCO decision draft.”

    “While stating our support for combatting all forms of hate crimes, I emphasised the alarming increase in crimes associated with hatred against Islam in recent years,” the envoy added.

    “I noted that UNESCO should act in line with UN resolutions in this regard. The draft resolution was accepted with the amendments we proposed. Let’s continue the fight.”

    Quran desecration acts in Europe have ignited a debate about religious tolerance and freedom of expression, prompting calls for a deeper understanding of religious sensitivities and a reconsideration of the balance between free speech and respect for religious beliefs.

    In July 2023, the UN General Assembly unanimously adopted a Morocco-sponsored resolution calling acts of violence against religious symbols, holy books, and places of worship a violation of international law.

  • Dünya Hoşgörü Günü Kutlu Olsun.
    Hoşgörülü birisi misin?
    Sana çok ‘ters’ gelen durumlarda bile mi? Doğduğu yer, teninin rengi, inandığı din, yaşam biçimi, ekonomik durumu, savunduğu politika, seninki ile aynı değilse, o kişi senin için yine de arkadaş ya da komşu olunabilecek, çalışılabilecek, sevilebilecek birisi midir?
    Bütün bunlar nedeniyle insanları ayrıştırmak, dünyanın en tehlikeli sorunlarından biri değil midir?
    Birleşmiş Milletler, hoşgörüyü, dünya kültürlerinin çeşitliliğine ve diğer her şeye saygı, takdir, kabul olarak tanımlıyor. En önemlisi de bu bir ‘insan hakkı’ ve aslında bunun sadece bireylerin değil, devletlerin de uygulanması gereken bir yaklaşım.

    (Be Just )
    Quran 5:8
    '' O you who believe! stand out firmly for God, as witnesses to fair dealing, and let not the > HATRED OF OTHERS TO YOU < make you swerve to wrong and depart from justice. Be just: that is next to piety: and fear God. For God is well-acquainted with all that ye do. ''

    '' Ye who believe! stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to God, even as against > YOURSELVES, < or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be (against) rich or poor: for God can best protect both. Follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest ye swerve, and if ye distort (justice) or decline to do justice, verily God is well-acquainted with all that ye do.''
    (Who Are The Good Human Beings? )
    Quran 2.177
    '' Righteousness is not that you turn your faces toward the east or the west, but [true] righteousness is [in] one who believes in God, the Last Day, the angels, the Book, and the prophets and gives wealth,> IN SPITE OF LOVE FOR IT,< to relatives, orphans, the needy, the traveler, those who ask [for help], and for freeing slaves; [and who] establishes prayer and gives charity; [those who] fulfill their promise when they promise; and [those who] are patient in poverty and hardship and during battle. Those are the ones who have been true, and it is those who are the righteous. ''
    (Freedom To Believe And To Reject )
    Quran 2:256
    '' Let there be no compulsion in religion. Truth stands out clear from error ''
    Quran 10:99
    '' And had your Lord willed, those on earth would have believed - all of them entirely. Then would you compel the people in order that they become believers? ''
    (Tolerance For Other Religions )
    Quran 109: 1- 6
    Say,"O disbelievers,
    I do not worship what you worship.
    Nor are you worshipers of what I worship.
    Nor will I be a worshiper of what you worship.
    Nor will you be worshipers of what I worship.
    For you is your religion, and for me is my religion."
    (Protection for Idol Worshiper )
    Quran 9:6
    "And if any one of the polytheists seeks your protection, then grant him protection so that he may hear the words of Allah. Then deliver him to his place of safety. That is because they are people who do not know. "
    Quran16:125
    “Call people to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good teaching, and argue with them in the most courteous way”
    Quran7:199 “Be tolerant....”
    (Friendship With Non Muslims )
    Quran 60:8
    '' God does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, God loves those who act justly. ''
    (Do Christians And Jews and "OTHER" non-Muslims go to Heaven? )
    Quran 2:62
    '' Those who believe (in the Qur'an), and those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Christians and the Sabians,-> ANY <- who believe in God and the Last Day, and work righteousness, shall have their reward with their Lord; on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. '' ---> { On Judgement Day }
    (According to the Quran Christians and Jews worship TRUE God )
    Quran 3:113-114)
    '' Not all of them are alike: Of the People of the Book ( Christians and Jews ) are a portion that stand (For the right): They rehearse the Signs of God all night long, and they prostrate themselves in adoration. They believe in God and the Last Day; they enjoin what is right, and forbid what is wrong; and they hasten (in emulation) in (all) good works: They are in the ranks of the righteous.''
    Note: According to the Quran that Jesus is not God nevertheless Christians still worship one '' TRUE '' God.
    ( > Allah < Is The Protector Of Monasteries, Churches, Synagogues And The Mosques )
    Quran 22:40
    [They are] those who have been evicted from their homes without right - only because they say, "Our Lord is God ." And were it not that God checks the people, some by means of others, there would have been demolished monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques in which the name of God is much mentioned. And God will surely support those who support Him. Indeed, God is Powerful and Exalted in Might.
    (Why Are There So Many Different Religions In The World ? )
    Quran 5 48
    ''...... If God wanted He could have made all of you a single nation. But He willed otherwise in order to test you in what He has given you;(scriptures) therefore try to excel one another in good deeds. Ultimately you all shall return to God; then He will show you the truth of those matters in which you > DISPUTE <.''
    NOTE:
    Quran 3:85
    ''If anyone desires a religion other than Islam ( > submission < to God), never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter He will be in the ranks of those who have lost (All spiritual good)''
    My explanation of above verse
    Islam mean > submission < to God
    ( The above verse saying is that God will not accept a religion from the >MUSLIM < and the Non-Muslims but total > submission < to God.)
    Question: How Can Muslim And the Non-Muslim > submit < to the God?
    Answer: Be kind to other human beings and Do not lie, Do not steal, Do not cheat, Do not hurt others, Do not be prideful and Do the charity work.
    (God Allow Muslims To Marry And Eat Food From the Christian And Jew And Vice Versa )
    Quran 5;5
    ''This day [all] good foods have been made lawful, and the food of those who were given the Scripture ( Christian and Jew) is lawful for you and your food is lawful for them. And [lawful in marriage are] chaste women from among the believers and chaste women from among those who were given the Scripture ( Christian and Jew) before you, when you have given them their due compensation, desiring chastity, not unlawful sexual intercourse or taking [secret] lovers. And whoever denies the faith - his work has become worthless, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers.''
    (Kindness Toward Atheists / > APOSTATE < )
    Quran 60:8
    '' As for such [of the unbelievers( atheist)] as do not fight against you on account of [your] faith, and neither drive you forth from your homelands, God does not forbid you to show them kindness and to behave towards them with full equity: for, verily, God loves those who act equitably. ''
    (All The Terrorists / Killers Will Enter Hell Fire )
    Quran 5:32
    "......Whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land - it is as if he had slain mankind entirely......"
    (Turned Your Enemies Into Your Best Friends )
    Quran 41:34
    "The good deed and the evil deed are not alike. Repel the evil deed with one which is better, then lo! he, between whom and thee there was enmity (will become) as though he was a bosom friend."
    (The Husband and The Wife Are > Protecting Friends < One Of Another )
    Quran 9:71
    ''And the believers, men and women, are > Protecting Friends < one of another; they enjoin the right and forbid the wrong, and they establish worship and they pay the poor-due, and they obey God and His messenger. As for these, God will have mercy on them. Lo! God is Mighty, Wise.''
    Quran16:97
    “To whoever, male or female, does good deeds and has faith, We shall give a good life and reward them according to the best of their actions.
    Quran 30:21
    “And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquility in them; and He placed between you > affection and mercy <…”--> { Love }
    The Prophet Muhammad said, “Heaven lies under the feet of your mother.”
    ( Human Are One family )
    Quran 49:13
    " O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise (each other). Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of God is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And God has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things)."
    (All The Racist People Will Enter Hellfire )
    Quran 30:22
    "And of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and the diversity of your languages and your colors. Indeed in that are signs for those of knowledge."
    My comment:
    The > BASIC < message of God to the human is that '' YOU '' believe in God and be kind to other human beings / animals and in the > RETURNED < God will > REWARD < you with a new life in Paradise.
    The Quran ONLY guides you how to become a good human being "Nothing Else".
    You are a good human being or a bad human being that is YOUR choice.
    No one can force you to become a good human being.
    You MUST work HARD to become a good human being.
    Why should ''YOU'' do good deeds and avoid bad deeds?
    Do Good - it's for You. Do Bad - It's against you.
    '' YOUR'' life is a TEST from God that you will choose to do either Good or Bad.
    Find the excuse to help others and forgive others NOT the other way around.
    '' YOUR '' final destination is either Hell or Heaven.
    So work HARD toward choice of YOUR destination.
    .
    Quran 17:7
    '' If you do good, you will do so for your own good. And if you do evil, it will be to your own loss.''/

  • When you think of European culture, one of the first things that may come to your mind is the renaissance. Many of the roots of European culture can be traced back to that glorious time of art, science, commerce and architecture. But did you know that long before the renaissance there was a place of humanistic beauty in Muslim Spain? Not only was it artistic, scientific and commercial, but it also exhibited incredible tolerance, imagination and poetry. Muslims, as the Spaniards call the Muslims, populated Spain for nearly 800 years. As you’ll see, it was their civilization that enlightened Europe and brought it out of the dark ages to usher in the renaissance. Muslims entered Europe from the South Led by Tariq bin Zeyad. Abd al-Rahman I, a survivor of a family of caliphs of the Muslim empire, reached Spain in the mid-700’s. He became the first Caliph of Al-Andalus, the Muslim part of Spain, which occupied most of the Iberian Peninsula. He also set up the Umayyad Dynasty that ruled Al-Andalus for over three-hundred years. (Grolier, History of Spain). Al Andalus means, “the land of the vandals,” from which comes the modern name Andalusia.
    At first, the land resembled the rest of Europe in all its squalor. But within two-hundred years the Muslims had turned Al-Andalus into a bastion of culture, commerce and beauty.
    “Irrigation systems imported from Syria and Muslimia turned the dry plains... into an agricultural cornucopia. Olives and wheat had always grown there. The Muslims added pomegranates, oranges, lemons, aubergines, artichokes, cumin, coriander, bananas, almonds, pams, henna, woad, madder, saffron, sugar-cane, cotton, rice, figs, grapes, peaches, apricots and rice.” (Burke, 1985, p. 37)
    By the beginning of the ninth century, Muslim Spain was the gem of Europe with its capital city, Cordova. With the establishment of Abd al-Rahman III - “the great caliphate of Cordova” - came the golden age of Al-Andalus. Cordova, in southern Spain, was the intellectual center of Europe. At a time when London was a tiny mud-hut village that “could not boast of a single streetlamp” (Digest, 1973, p. 622), in Cordova…
    “…there were half a million inhabitants, living in 113,000 houses. There were 700 mosques and 300 public baths spread throughout the city and its twenty-one suburbs. The streets were paved and lit.” (Burke, 1985, p. 38)
    “The houses had marble balconies for summer and hot-air ducts under the mosaic floors for the winter. They were adorned with gardens with artificial fountains and orchards”. (Digest, 1973, p. 622) “Paper, a material still unknown to the west, was everywhere. There were bookshops and more than seventy libraries.” (Burke, 1985, p. 38). during these years major works of the architecture of al-Andalus were built and enlarged, such as the palatine city of Madinat al-Zahra as an example And the Cordoba Mosque, we will talk about it in the next article in shaa Allah.

    1. Sayings of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ in every corner promoting the beauty of Islam.
    2. Alcohol will not be sold at the World Cup's eight stadiums in Qatar, Fifa has announced, two days before the tournament starts.
    3. In hotel rooms, there is a barcode that introduces the teachings of Islam, hadiths, and a simple definition of our faith.
    4. They changed mua'zzins of masjids and brought those with beautiful voices. Microphones are put in stadiums for Azan.
    5. Qatar Guest Center to prepare a team of 2,000 people to call for Islam, where it will allocate 10 mobile cars and 10 specialized tents.
    6. Islamic exhibitions by Ministry of Awqaf in different languages for visitors.
    7.Availability of prayer areas and places for ablution in stadiums for the first time in the history of World Cup.
    8. Dr Zakir Naik has arrived in #Qatar ahead of the 2022 #FIFA #World #Cup to give many religious lectures throughout the tournament," Faisal Alhajri, a presenter at the Qatari state-owned sports channel Alkass, wrote on Twitter on Saturday.
    9. Advertisement of Haraam has been banned, Not even raising the rainbow colour which you know the meaning.
    And many more..
    May Allah bless them for this and guide them in their shortcomings.
    I wish the Islamic Countries who obeys the Westerners and goes as far as worshipping the same idols as them in the name of tolerance will get to learn from Qatar.

  • Dünya Hoşgörü Günü Kutlu Olsun.
    Hoşgörülü birisi misin?
    Sana çok ‘ters’ gelen durumlarda bile mi? Doğduğu yer, teninin rengi, inandığı din, yaşam biçimi, ekonomik durumu, savunduğu politika, seninki ile aynı değilse, o kişi senin için yine de arkadaş ya da komşu olunabilecek, çalışılabilecek, sevilebilecek birisi midir?
    Bütün bunlar nedeniyle insanları ayrıştırmak, dünyanın en tehlikeli sorunlarından biri değil midir?
    Birleşmiş Milletler, hoşgörüyü, dünya kültürlerinin çeşitliliğine ve diğer her şeye saygı, takdir, kabul olarak tanımlıyor. En önemlisi de bu bir ‘insan hakkı’ ve aslında bunun sadece bireylerin değil, devletlerin de uygulanması gereken bir yaklaşım.

  • 𝗢𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝘁 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 & 𝗧𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲!

    "The Ottoman millet system until it was undermined in the 19th century, functioned extremely well. It gave a role to Christians and Jewish populations. They played very important role in the overall economy.

    It lead to the articulation of Orthodox Christian worship. Anyone who goes up the Mount ethos or sees the monastery of Sumera outside of Trabzon today could see a continuing tradition of paintings and the rich whole art of the Orthodox Church which was allowed to flourish under the Ottoman government.

    Jewish thinkers continued to write commanteries on the torah and there was a very very rich intellectual life of Judaism in the Ottoman state. But all of that was only possible because they had accepted their role within the Ottoman state.

    And the Ottoman Sultan-Caliph as dispenser of Shariah, took very seriously his role that he should protect his non Muslims subjects and so for centuries an absolute impeccable Sunni Muslim ruler was able to rule over 5 million subjects who religiously were quite at odds with his own personal beliefs."

    Quote source: The Ottoman Empire video lectures by Professor Kenneth W Harl (Phd Byzantine history from Yale university ) available on the Great Courses Plus.

  • Let us read about the tolerance shown to the unIslamic cults and sects by Ottoman Millet system which was derived by the laws of Our Master Second Rashid Caliph Umar Farooq (May Allah be well pleased with him) :

    "The tolerance shown to foreign beliefs and hostile faiths by the Ottoman law and Ottoman officials which enabled them to establish their own religious institutions and to shape their own education was such that the thousand year old Liberty reigning in France in the field of sects and beliefs, dating from the times of the ancient Gaul (Western Europe during 5th to 1st BC), couldn't be compared with it."

    (Talcot Williams, Turkey, A World.Problem of Today, New York, 1922, p 194)

  • Rewriting history and portraying Muslim kings as evil has become a popular trend among the Hindu right wing recently. Tipu Sultan, a Muslim ruler who practised tolerance and led a prospering state, has become their latest target.

    Tipu Sultan easily ranks foremost amongst the most capable leaders of Asia. His death allowed the English to give toasts to ‘the corpse of India’ and become masters of the subcontinent.
