then why follow only ISLAM?
 Yes we agree!—Same Prophets, Values, etc…
 The difference—Oneness of Allah—practical
application of it
 Anyone—EVEN MUSLIMS---who deny their
creator (shirk) go to hell.
 Allah promises to forgive ANY other sin!
 All religions have this “save sect” concept, but
Islam distinguishes only based on the worship of
the Creator (not race or other ceremonies)

TOP 20: Shari’a law
“What is Shar’ia law? To what extent does the Shar’ia
law apply in Australia and does this mean Muslims
are more loyal to Shar’ia rather than Australian
laws?”
www.dawahcorps.com
Jubail Dawah Center
TOP 20: Shari’a law
 Muslims follow the rulings from the Quran and




Sunnah (Allah’s Rulings)
If in a Muslim state, this applies 100%
If living in a non Muslim state, this can not be
applied 100%
Only oppose non Muslim rule when it affects your
belief in God, and “oppose” here could mean only
in your heart—Hadeeth
If in a non Muslim state, MUST respect the
authoritative laws—Ex of 1st migration to
Abyssinia—Christian rule

slavery?”

recently
Islam came and gave slaves their rights
The Quran and Sunnah never mention slavery in order
to encourage the act; it actually discourages it. Exkaffara (expiation); Reward of “freeing slaves” for
certain acts
Ex of Anas (r); Belal (r)
Abu Bakr (r), Umar (r)
Three things taken seriously (divorce, marriage,
emancipation)

TOP 20: Non-Muslim Marriage
?
“Why are Muslim men allowed to marry non Muslim
women, but Muslim women are not allowed to
marry non Muslim men? Why the double
standard?”
www.dawahcorps.com
Jubail Dawah Center
TOP 20: Non-Muslim Marriage
?
 The woman needs to be a righteous person of the
book-seriousness
 Some discouragement even for men to do this (Ibn
Umar—shirk)
 Some scholars say its only allowed in an Islamic
state, in case of disputes.
 Responsibility—a Muslim woman would never
have the upper hand if she married a non Muslim—
affects her religion.

TOP 20: Women 2nd Class
“Why do you make women as second class citizens?
You don't let them drive, wear the clothes they like,
insist on hiding their bodies, and here in Saudi
they can't even do business in their own name. Is
this human rights?”
www.dawahcorps.com
Jubail Dawah Center
TOP 20: Women 2nd Class
 Olympic Example—Biological differences
 Rape in Western World Vs. Muslim World
 Women are treated like a Queen—reality is
different than media
 Sexual Desire
 Driving/business/education etc issue in Muslim
countries is more of a cultural issue than a religious
one. (Blocking the means to evil)

TOP 20: Homosexuality & Human Rights?
“How can you say Islam offers true human rights and
is just when a gay man or woman cannot exercise
there human right of being different. I mean, I am
not gay but I respect those who have made other
choices. Like they say; "we should respect the
differences".
www.dawahcorps.com
Jubail Dawah Center
TOP 20: Homosexuality & Human Rights?
 Controlling of desires is the key—
homosexuality/rape/adultery/drinking
 Recent phenomenon of acceptance
 Mistakes/Forgiveness—worst sin is Shirk

TOP 20: The Only True Religion
“Muslims always say "Islam is the only way to god"
but we are all from the Abrahamic faiths and we
(Jews & Christians) are worshipping one god but in
different ways. In the end, I believe there is 'one
god and many paths to him'.

TOP 20: The Only True Religion
Instruction-manual and apparatus scenario (one
manual for one instrument)


GOD’s own terms, not on your own.

TOP 20: QUR’AN PLAGIARIZED FROM THE BIBLE
 Is it not true that Prophet Muhammad
(pbuh) has copied the Qur’an from the
Bible?
 Many critics allege that Prophet
Muhummad (pbuh) himself was not the
author of the Qur’an but he learnt it and/or
plagiarized (copied or adapted) it from
other human sources or from previous
scriptures or revelations.

Jubail Dawah Center
TOP 20: QUR’AN PLAGIARIZED FROM THE BIBLE
 Islam was the completion of all previous
messages—all prophets were from God, with the
same message.
 If P (s) was illiterate, how could he plagiarize?
(Shakespeare)
 Travel 3 times only
 Why are there differences then?
