Luton Muslims: Proud and Prejudiced


Last night people all over the UK and world were presented with "Proud and Prejudiced" on channel 4.  This was a documentary of two of the most controversial men in Britain.
Tommy Robinson (Stephen Lenon), a tanning salon manager, is the leader of the English Defence League, the biggest far-right street protest movement for a generation.
Sayful Islam, a former tax inspector, heads a small group of Muslim extremists, who have become notorious for abusing British soldiers and burning poppies on Remembrance Day.
Both men enjoy a cult-like status with loyal followers, both are specialists in making highly inflammatory speeches and defying the authorities, and both are from the same town: Luton.
The documentary does not in anyway represent the thousands of Muslims and Non-Muslims peacefully living in Luton.  The main concern and issue is individuals such as those in the documentary are uneducated and illiterate about the teachings of Islam.  The Non-Muslims, in particular those in the documentary are not aware of what Islam really is neither do they want to find out because of how it is incorrectly portrayed by a few individuals.
What Is Islam? What Is A Muslim?
Islam (English play /ˈɪzlɑːm/;[note 1] Arabicالإسلام al-ʾislām  IPA: [ʔɪsˈlæːm] ( listen)[note 2]) is the monotheistic religion articulated by the Qur'an, atext considered by its adherents to be the verbatim word of God (Arabicالله Allāh), and by the teachings and normative example (called the Sunnah and composed of Hadith) of Muhammad, considered by them to be the last prophet of God. An adherent of Islam is called a Muslim.
The Quran is the first and foremost important book of guidance, way of life for muslims.  Verses are often taken out of context and without understanding.  Taking verses literally and without knowledge, not only distorts ones correct belief of the religion but also the key reason of Muslims becoming extremism.
Various problems and issues related to the understanding of the rules of Shari'ah occur as a result of the unawareness of the many Quranic ayahs and Hadith by some people.   These individuals misguide themselves and others by misinterpreting the Holy Quran and Hadith.  
Quran Chapter 2 Verse 26:
Verily, Allah is not ashamed to set forth a parable even of a mosquito or so much more when it is bigger than it. And as for those who believe, they know that it is the Truth from their Lord, but as for those who disbelieve, they say: "What did Allah intend by this parable?" By it, He misleads many, and many He guides thereby. And He misleads thereby only those who are rebellious.
إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يَسْتَحْيِي أَن يَضْرِبَ مَثَلاً مَّا بَعُوضَةً فَمَا فَوْقَهَا فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ فَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّهِمْ وَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ فَيَقُولُونَ مَاذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِهَـذَا مَثَلاً يُضِلُّ بِهِ كَثِيراً وَيَهْدِي بِهِ كَثِيراً وَمَا يُضِلُّ بِهِ إِلاَّ الْفَاسِقِينَ (٢٦)

The Quran introduces itself as a book through which God causes many to stray while he guides others along the right path. (2:26) 
Imam Ghazali Rahimahullah, as well as other scholars, has mentioned fifteen branches of knowledge which one must acquire in order to gain insight into any particular issue from the Holy Quran and Hadith. To provide an example, one of these branches of knowledge is the knowledge of the background and circumstances under which the Quranic verses were revealed. Without this knowledge, it would be impossible to understand the meaning and rationale of many verses in the Holy Quran. Consider the following verse:  
“Those who believe and do righteous good deeds, there is no sin on them for what they ate, if they fear Allah and believe and do righteous good deeds, and again fear Allah and believe, and once again fear Allah and do good deeds with Ihsan. And Allah loves the good-doers.”  (5:93) 
If one looks at the literal translation of the above verse, one gets the impression that whatever one eats, whether it is halal (permissible) or haram (forbidden), will not make any difference as long as one believes in Allah, performs good deeds and is mindful of his or her duties. It is only when we learn the background of and the circumstances under which this verse was revealed, that we truly understand the meaning of the verse. 
Let us examine the background of this verse. When the verse forbidding alcohol was revealed a number of companions expressed their concern about those who died before the revelation of this verse. The above verse was revealed to respond to this concern and to ensure the companions that as long as the person believed in Allah, was pious, God fearing and mindful of his or her duties to Allah, he or she will not be punished for his previous drinking; if he is to be punished, it will not be because of his drinking but because of his lack of faith and fear of Allah. 
The above example clearly demonstrates how essential it is to have the knowledge of the rules dealing with the interpretation of the Holy Quran. Without this knowledge, one can easily go astray. 
Regarding the hadith (sayings) and example of god's final messenger Muhammad pbuh, if even his basic teachings were followed they would clearly distinguish a good Muslim and a true follower of his message and faith.  Here are just a few sayings of the best of creation:
The Prophet was asked - What actions are most excellent? He replied - To gladden the heart of a human being, to feed the hungry, to help the afflicted, to lighten the sorrow of the sorrowful, and to remove the wrongs of the injured.
He who is not kind to God's creatures, and to his own children, God will not be kind to him.  Kindness is a mark of faith: and whoever hath not kindness hath not faith.
Shall I not inform you of a better act than fasting, alms, and prayers? Making peace between one another: enmity and malice tear up heavenly rewards by the roots.
It is not worthy of a speaker of truth to curse people.
He who believeth in one God and the Hereafter, let him speak what is good or remain silent.
He who believeth in one God and the life beyond, let him not injure his neighbors.

Feed the hungry and visit the sick, and free the captive, if he be unjustly confined. Assist any person oppressed, whether Muslim or non-Muslim.
The person who is strong is not strong because he can knock people down. The person who is strong is the one who controls himself when he is angry.
It was said to the Prophet Muhammad, "O Messenger of God! Curse the infidels." Muhammad said, "I am not sent for this; nor was I sent but as mercy to mankind."
As we can see from only a small number of sayings of the messenger, which is the best example Muslims are told to follow is not clearly practised by those who claim to be Muslims today.  Muslims, Christians, Jews and other faiths have always lived in peace in history side by side.  We have many examples as in the Ottoman Empire, Muslim Spain etc for hundreds of years.  These were islamic states that non-muslims desired to live under? Why - because the Muslims then had tolerance of other's beliefs, treated others with justice and were practising Islam in its true form.
The injustice that is being inflicted on Muslims around the world will not be removed by burning flags, protesting and yelling or inciting hatred against non-muslims.  We Muslims must change ourselves “Verily never will Allah change the condition of a people until they change it themselves (with their own souls)” From 13: 11. Now we may ask what is the needed change in our souls: 

- We should repent and make Dua to Allah instead of disobeying Him.
- Obedience of the Quran and teachings of the final messenger, Muhammad (pbuh).  Keep steadfast and sincere to the commandments  of Allah and His Messenger.
- Start by changing foremost ourselves, families and neighbourhoods.
- Comprehensive understanding of Islam should replace the misunderstanding or the incomplete understanding.
To conclude, a Muslim must respect the laws of the land in which he lives, whether that land is a Muslim country or not.  If he or she is not happy, then you should migrate.

What is Al-Quran?

The Qur'an ("Qor-Ann") is a Message from Allah (swt) to humanity. It was transmitted to us in a chain starting from the Almighty Himself (swt) to the angel Gabriel to the Prophet Muhammad (saw). This message was given to the Prophet (saw) in pieces over a period spanning approximately 23 years (610 CE to 632 CE). The Prophet (saw) was 40 years old when the Qur'an began to be revealed to him, and he was 63 when the revelation was completed. The language of the original message was Arabic, but it has been translated into many other languages. 

The Qur'an is one of the two sources which form the basis of Islam. The second source is the way of life of the Prophet Muhammad (saw) - known as the Sunnah. What makes the Qur'an different from the Sunnah is primarily its form. Unlike the Sunnah, the Qur'an is literally the Word of Allah (swt), whereas the Sunnah was inspired by Allah but the wording and actions are the Prophet's (saw). The Qur'an has not been expressed using any human's words. Its wording is letter for letter fixed by no one but Allah. 

Prophet Muhammad (saw) was the final Messenger of Allah to humanity, and therefore the Qur'an is the last Message which Allah (swt) has sent to us. Its predecessors such as the Torah, Psalms, and Gospels have all been superseded. It is an obligation - and blessing - for all who hear of the Qur'an and Islam to investigate it and evaluate it for themselves. Allah (swt) has guaranteed that He will protect the Qur'an from human tampering, and today's readers can find exact copies of it all over the world. The Qur'an of today is the same as the Qur'an revealed to Muhammad (saw) 1400 years ago.

Futuwwa - The Courage to be Good

There is a spiritual connection between us today and generations back to the origins of Islam and the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).  Because on the affairs and circumstances on society today, it has great effect on the young children,  However the primary thing that affects children are parents, then friends and school.  These are things that affect and shape people.  The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said:  "No baby is born but upon Fitra (as a Muslim). It is his parents who make him a Jew or a Christian or a Polytheist." (Sahih Muslim, Book 033, Number 6426).  And then a young person in accordance to the strength his her faith and courage will have an affect in accordance to their connection to the divine.  In accordance to the weakness of their faith and knowledge they will be weak and affected by their surroundings.

You as young people, who represent this religion must have strong faith and deep knowledge.  As for faith this is knowing the creator who made us, this is the greatest and most important thing to the human being in this universe.  Someone who knows the various created things and various electronics, but are ignorant of the creator it is as if they know nothing.  The state of such a person is they know material things but have forgotten their own souls! Someone who is ignorant of his own soul, when dealing with things around them, there will be types of corruption that would occur and they will appear crooked and harmed.  
The Quran states:
"And be not like those who forgot Allah (i.e. became disobedient to Allah) and He caused them to forget their ownselves, (let them to forget to do righteous deeds). Those are the Fasiqun (rebellious, disobedient to Allah)."19:59. Surah Al-Hashr (The Gathering)

Someone does not know the true reality of himself, who does not know the attributes of the one who created his soul.  Scholars say the one who knows his/her soul then he/she would know his Lord.  May Allah assist you in increasing faith and knowledge in him.

The young men and women from the companions lived with strong faith, for which Allah gave them great gifts.    When the Prophet pbuh came to Madinah and stayed with his maternal uncle, at the time of his arrival children rushed out and welcomed him with great joy!  He saw the strong faith these young children had in him.  The connection of love with him and the faith was great.  Generations after were also carrying this love for the Messenger and his Message.

After the death of the prophet, one of the companions went to battle and brought with him his son who was only 10.  On the day of the battle, the Son came to the father and asked "O Father, do you have any messages I can convey to the messenger?" He replied "What do you mean?" The son replied - "I am yearning and longing to be with the Prophet and ask my Lord to grant me martyrdom in this battle."  The father was shaken by this and hugged his son and said "O my son, if you beat me to the prophet pbuh then convey to him my Salaams."  Allah fulfilled the hope of this young boy.  What are 10 year old's attached to today? What do they hope for? What kind of love do they feel for Islam and the prophet?

We need to be courageous and rise to high stations so we can bring back history so that it will be present and been seen before us.  And also we have a prophet who longed for us, before we longed for him.  One day the prophet was in the Graveyard and said "We would love to see our brothers!" The companions asked: "Are we not your brothers and he replied you are my companions, my brothers are people who will come after me and will believe me without seeing me."   Prior to our loving him, he the prophet loved us.  The focal point of our faith is love for our creator and his messenger, until they are more beloved to us than everything other than them! The signs of this can appear, for example how are we in the morning at the time of Salah Fajr?  We should encourage our children to pray the morning prayer in congregation in the morning, before they go to school.

Nothing will give light to your hearts like the Quran.  And nothing is better than increasing your faith and warding off evil, like the Quran.  The prophet pbuh said "Recite the Quran, for indeed it will be an intercessor on the day of rising for its companions".  So someone who recited and reflected on it is from the companions of the Quran.  But the one who is passionate about it and lost themselves in love for it are from the people of the Quran.  O Allah!  Make us the people of the Quran.

Send prayers and salaat on the prophet pbuh, particular on the night of Jumma (Thursday after Magrib). Also recommended is that every time you enter/exit your house, everytime you sleep and after every prayer to recite Ayat-tul-Kursi.    

Pay attention to who your friends are and those who you keep company with.  Choose those who are good, and stay away from those who are bad.  

QURAN 2:152 - Therefore remember Me, I will remember you. Give thanks to Me, and reject not Me.

Beautiful Description of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) - By Shaykh Hamza Yusuf


"The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was more than just a great historical person, he was a father and friend, a husband, a companion and above all he was a human being. The Prophet's unique physical appearance, his high character and willingness to sacrifice for others, are often at the essence of any description of him." - Shaykh Hamza Yusuf


The beautiful thing is we can follow the Sunnah of RasoolAllah (PBUH) and through this description we can try to emulate the way He (PBUH) looked.


Hamza Yusuf Hanson is an Islamic scholar, teacher, and co-founder of Zaytuna College in Berkley, California, United States. He is an American convert to Islam, and is one of the signatories of A Common Word Between Us and You, an open letter by Islamic scholars to Christian leaders, calling for peace and understanding.

The Mawlid - Birthday of the Prophet - 12th of Rabi’a al-Awwal

The birthday of the Prophet, God’s peace and blessings be upon him, is a great blessing for our community and, indeed, for all believers. So if we know the day, it should renew our joy manifold times. The Mawlid (his birthday) has traditionally been a time to reflect on – and be grateful for – our Prophet, peace be upon him, and his life, miracles, and the sacrifices he made on behalf of his community. Most of our scholars have considered celebrating the Mawlid as a good practice based upon the sound hadith, “Whoever establishes an excellent practice (sunnah hasanah) in Islam has its reward and the reward of those who act upon it.” This hadith, as some less perspicacious have thought, does not contradict the narration of Lady Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, in which she relates that the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said, “Whoever introduces something in this matter of ours that is not from it will find it rejected.”



Celebrating the Mawlid, as great scholars such as Imam al-Suyuti have shown, does not depart from the Sunnah and is a branch from the root of love of the Messenger, peace be upon him.
Loving him is clearly from the Sunnah, as illustrated in the hadith in which when Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, expressed his love saying, “O Messenger of Allah, you are more beloved to me than everything except my own soul,” he was then reminded by the Prophet, peace be upon him, “None of you truly believes until I am more beloved to him than even his own soul between his sides.” At that point, Umar said, “By Allah, you are more beloved to me than my own soul between my sides.” The Prophet, peace be upon him, then said to Umar, “Now, O Umar, now!”
At that moment, Umar’s faith was completed – when his love matured from natural love to willful love. Natural love is the love of a child for a parent or the love of a devoted student for a teacher. This emanates from a simple truth, as stated by the Prophet, peace be upon him: “Hearts are inclined to love those who do good to them.” In other words, the human heart has no choice in the matter of natural love – love simply flows. Willful love, on the other hand, is of a higher order; it is love attained after deep contemplation of the beloved and a profound awareness that the object of one’s love is perfect, as in the case of God, or after the realization of the immense debt one owes to the beloved, as in the case of the Prophet, peace be upon him. Willful love is a matter of choice and introspection. Umar realized that his own soul that he loved so much was nothing, a cipher, without the blessing of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him. It was at that moment that his willful love occurred; it took precedent over the natural love that everyone feels instinctively and without musing or meditation.
The celebration of his birthday, peace be upon him, is a matter of willful love, as it is from the religion to honor him and remember him, and part of the remembrance of Allah is to pray upon our Prophet, peace be upon him. Anything that helps us to do that, and is not an innovation, is good. Ibn Lubb and others have defined innovation as “what obliterates a sunnah.” Encouraging the community of believers to reflect on the Prophet, peace be upon him, on the sacred day of the 12th of Rabi’a al-Awwal, the day of his birth, is not destructive to the Sunnah that he brought. Moreover, the day itself is auspicious – it was the day of the Prophet’s arrival to Medina after his migration (hijrah). The day he died was also the 12th of Rabi’a al-Awwal. These are not coincidences. So let the lovers love in peace. The Mawlid is a national holiday in every Muslim country in the world!
Spend some time in this blessed month to read the seerah of the prophet and reflect on the blessings of his birth.
O Allah! Send peace on our Master Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad and send blessings and peace.
