Summary: A believer’s response to Burning of the Quran<br> Nouman Ali Khan<br> <br> Lecture 2<br> <br> When we come across such stupidity and idiocy what should be our reaction<br> We need to have clarity and consistency across our community<br> First of all these tactics are done in a very calculated and precise way to get a reaction out of Muslims and the expected reaction is that will go crazy and become overly emotional and perhaps there will be some riots like for instance in the Danish cartoon controversy there were street riots, cars were being burned down and protests were being held and shops were been torn down and they think<br> Muslims have to show themselves as barbaric, mindless, Muslim don’t know even how to be civil…<br> <br> First and foremost if we react in a certain way, we are playing right into their game. We are falling right into their trap and doing exactly what they want us to do. And they do these things over and over just to see how we respond and we have to understand the language of response.<br> <br> We have to see that this is not the first time that these kinds of inciting attacks – there are two kinds of attacks, you can have a physical, military kind of attack or you can have a psychological, ideological attacks. And these are psychological, ideological attacks. But we need to know that Allah’s Messenger Sal. suffered both of these kinds of attacks in his own lifetime. And the Book of Allah faced both these kinds of attacks in the life time of the Messenger sal.<br> This is not the first time.<br> <br> And so when things are horrendous and outrageous things are being said about Allah’s Messenger sal. or His Book, this is something that’s a continuation of the tradition of Quraysh. This is not something new and Allah addressed it in His Book.<br> If you watch the CNN clip of that weird looking pastor saying “we believe the Quran is from the devil blah blah blah” and you are gonna say how can he say that. This is very shocking language. And yet you find in the Quran Allah makes us understand “Wallahu bi qauli shaythanir rajeem” this is not the word of a devil because this was an accusation made already. The accusations that Allah has talked about in the Quran, they are not coming up with anything new. It’s the same old thing. It’s the same old game. And Allah has given us guidance on how to respond to it.<br> So when the Messenger was faced with the worst kind of ignorance then he was commanded Fasbir Sabrun Jameela – be patient in the most beautiful form. Show your restraint over your emotions. When we response we should respond intellectually.<br> <br> I want to address some of the comments even though they were full of ignorance at least for the younger Muslims who get fired up easily or get depressed about these things<br> Firstly there’s no such as burning the Quran. There’s no such thing.<br> Allah revealed this book from Lawhul Mahfooz “Bal huwa Quranun majeed fee lawhin mahfooz kithaabun maknoon”.<br> <br> Allah talks about it as guarded and protected in the 7th Heaven. And when Allah gave His messenger the mission to deliver the message that people wouldn’t take it seriously they would disregard the Quran What did Allah tell His Messenger sal.? this is a powerful reminder whoever wants they can make mention of it whoever wants they can benefit from the reminder and they can and even if they don’t this is from a very high place. This is not some journal or from a magazine<br> <br> So the fact that you even get to have contact with it, that you get to hear these words is an honour for you and if you don’t want to take benefit from it, that’s your loss. Trying to insult Allah’s Book or harm Allah’s Book is as useless as trying to spit at the sun. its gonna come back on your own face. Its pointless.<br> <br> The first thing I want to share with you is what they are burning is ink and paper.
