Page 48 - Islam Denounces Terrorism

The Ka'aba, to which almost two million Muslims come every year from the four cor-
ners of the world, is a symbol of the peace and compassion that are an integral part of
Islamic teaching.

their eyes, "Islam" is the lifestyle and practices of the peddlers of super-
stition. In their view, "Islam" is the imaginative power of historians,
not the faith as revealed in the Qur'an. They call the practices of this

fabricated religion "Sharia," not the laws of the Qur'an. They are
unaware of the values and concepts imparted in the Qur'an, but have
a great knowledge of all the rules of the false religion of the peddlers
of superstition. In criticizing the rules of that false religion, they imag-
ine they are criticizing Islam. So attached are they to the religion of the
peddlers of superstition that they do not believe it when they are told,
"This is not Islam." And this is an exceedingly serious error.

These people must realize this fact if they are not opposed to Islam
owing to any philosophical or religious opposition and if they gen-
uinely seek a solution to the darkness of the fanatic mindset. Their reli-
gion is not Islam. The Qur'an by itself is sufficient for a Muslim.

Hadiths are true and reliable so long as they are compatible with the
Qur'an. A hadith that is incompatible with the Qur'an has no place in
Islam. If a Muslim cannot find Islam in the Qur'an, it means he is look-
ing for another religion and the Sharia of that faith is not Islam.
