Hinduism and Buddism are stolen from Islam
Mu' meneen Brothers
and Sisters,
As Salaam Aleikum wa
Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be
upon all of you)
One of our
brothers/sisters has asked this question:
Considering your brotherhoods
astounding and altrusitic work with the poltheists, i was wondering if you knew
that Hinduism and Buddhism are both religions and philosophies stolen from
Islam, and revelations of Islamic Prophets. No need for out of context Quranic
translations, to scare off people. Just answer the question in your own words.
I myself know Arabic fluently and realise the mistakes in your translations
make even a 9 year old boy, born in Mecca, to laugh out loud.
Do answer this
question,

response to the entire mailing list.
Take care,

Answer:
In the name of Allah, We praise
Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none
can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright.
We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet,
no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear
witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His
Messengers.
For the answer to your question,
we will try not to give you any Quranic verse as evidence. The believers faith and imaan increase
whenever they hear the clear aayahs of the Quran; and simultaneously, it warns
and puts fear into the hearts of the disbelievers.
Your
Question: I was wondering if you knew
that Hinduism and Buddhism are both religions and philosophies stolen from
Islam, and revelations of Islamic Prophets.
Since the specific Prophets that
were sent to the various regions and communities on the earth are not mentioned
in the Holy Quran, we can neither deny nor confirm that Hinduism and Buddhism
are derivatives of Islamic theology. In
any case, the way and practice of these two religions in the present form, have
nothing to do with Islam. It has always been that whenever the Prophets of
Allah were sent to a community, over time, they mixed the deen of Tawheed
brought by the Prophets with their own ideas and inventions of idol-worship and
the invocation of their holy personalities; and thus moved away from the Siraat
al Mustaqeem (Straight Path of Islam).
And if you are rightful in your
claim that these two religions are derived from Islamic Prophets, give us your
proof, and name the Prophets of Allah that were sent to these communities.
Your statement: I
myself know Arabic fluently and realise the mistakes in your translations make
even a 9 year old boy, born in Mecca, to laugh out loud.
Brother, we have quoted
literally hundreds of aayahs from the Quran in our various articles. Since Allah has blessed you to understand
the Arabic language, we urge you to take any one aayah we have quoted, and
prove it to our readers that what we have quoted is indeed the false
translation. You have obviously tried
to refute all the aayahs in a blanket coverage, which is obviously not very intelligent
nor conclusive. In search of the
Truth, we challenge you to pick out any aayah of your choice from our various
articles, and let us know where we have made the mistake.
But if you are one of those who derives
pleasure from refuting the clear aayahs of the Holy Quran, know it well, that
we shall all be gathered in the Court of Allah on an Inevitable Day to give a
full reckoning of our deeds.
Whatever written of Truth and
benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error
is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He
is the Only Source of Strength.
Your Brother in
Islam,
