A Bit Scary Imams and Clerics in Islam

Here's Now the answer in English about what it was written about Islam on the mouth of Imam or Cleric called by Mohammed Said Tantawi, a well-known Islamic Scholar at Al-Azhar University (EGYPT) in the Hasanian Scholars of 3 Ramadon 1424 / 29 October 2003 chaired by Mohammed VI King Of Morocco.

From the divine word: "It may be that God assigns the friendship between you and those of them that you had for enemies. God is able, and God is Forgiving, Merciful. God does not stop at those who have not fought for religion, and have not driven away from your homes, to make them love, and to be, to them, in the balance. Yes, God loves those who deal in the balance. Nothing else, God, you can not, with respect to those who have fought for religion and you have expelled from your homes and assisted back to your expulsion, to take them for patrons. And those who use them for bosses, and then they are them prevaricators.(The review, 7-8-9.

These verses begin with an expression of term expressing the event: 'it may be that'. Emanating from the Creator, the Most Exalted the Very glorified, this phrase takes the peremptory tone of accomplished fact. These verses were revealed twenty years after our Prophet and intercessor, salvation and prayer upon him, was invested with his mission of the Messenger of God. Meanwhile, as dissension and strife had erupted within the same family between parents and children, between brothers and sisters! So many people had their loved ones against fierce! But then came this verse: "It may be that God assigns the friendship between you and those of them that you had for enemies."

Its invigorating breeze, the announcement promising, the serenity the purest, came in chorus overwhelm the hearts of believers, after a long period of hostility and animosity that took their loved ones infidels.

This verse comes about believers say: maybe God will soon replace the affection and love of hostility and enmity that persist between you and your loved ones infidels. Know that he is capable of everything that His mercy is such that he absolves the leniency: "My mercy encompasses all things: I will stipulate So for those who practice piety and pay taxes for those who are also believing in signs, then those who follow the messenger, the prophet they find at all words at home in the Torah and the Gospel, ordering them suitable, preventing the reprehensible, making lawful good things, Banning bad, removing the burden and the shackles that were on them." (Les Limbes, 156-157)

God has kept His promise. Soon would happen, in fact, the glorious conquest of Mecca, during the month of Ramadan, in the year of the Hegira. Everyone could then find their loved ones, after people were converted in crowd to the religion of God, and that the hostility had ceded its place to love, thanks to the adoration that everyone will soon dedicated now to God, Lord of the worlds. Were then revealed two noble verses where the Most Exalted present, in terms could not be more clear, the method that Muslims must borrow at any time and in any place, in times of war as in times of peace, to enemies and allies, and their shows when they suddenly have to break links with those who profess a religion different from their own.

It boils down to this: towards individuals who, even embracing a religion other than Islam, we do not cause any damage, but on the contrary we are reaching out, we need to adopt the same attitude and cooperate in conciliatory the good and piety, not for evil and aggression.
But against those who seek, in one way or another to do us harm, to undermine our faith, in the general interest of our community, our economy, to any of our commitments towards God, the Most Exalted, the Most Glorious, we are really allowed to defend ourselves.
Hence this first verse: "God does not prevent you to those who have not fought for religion, and have not driven away from your homes, to make them love, and to be, to these, in the balance. Yes, God loves those who deal in the balance. "

In brief submitted, the Koranic text suggests that God will allow you believers -better you exhorte- to do good with regard to non-Muslims, to lend your assistance, as long as they have not, because of your Muslim faith, declared war, nor any damage to your religion or your interests secular. You should therefore ensure fairness to them, whether it is true that the heavens and the earth are based on that value.

So did God enjoin us to observe fairness and justice in the words: "And when you speak, so be fair, even if it is a close relative." (Bestiaux, 152);

in Judgments: "And when you judge between people, to judge with fairness." (Women, 58)

In testimony: "And two men testify integrity among you. Establish And the testimony pro Deo." (Le Divorce, 2)

By proposing to reconcile people in conflict: "If two groups of believers fights, then make peace between them. Then, if one of them rebels against the other, then fight one who rebel until he bowed to the order of God. Then he bows, and then make peace between them with justice, and to consider the balance. Yes, God loves those who believe in balance. Nothing else: believers are brothers. Therefore Make peace between your two brothers, and fear God. Perhaps you will soon make-on mercy."(Partitions, 10-11)

In recording of legal documents: "And a scribe writes you, in all fairness." (The Cow, 282); with the enemy and friend, the poor and the rich, and the near abroad, as evidenced by this noble verse: "Ho, who believes! Come on! Standing for God, for witnesses God with justice! And that hatred of a people does not encourage you not to do equity. Equity Make: it is closer to piety. " (The platter served 8)

If justice is the high road that leads to progress and happiness of nations, providing them with security, peace and tranquillity, injustice, however, is a way that it leads to disintegration and destruction, undermining the well established and the foundations. God is telling the truth, saying: "And they were elaborating a plan to a ploy. Yet we were elaborating a plan without doubt they are a ploy. Watch to what has happened to their ploy: we maked them perish, yes, their people too. So what they missed by interest, their house collapsed roofs! This is a sign, really, for people who know."(The Ants, 50-51-52)

In a hadith kodsi (= sacred: that the Prophet of God wishes), the same truth is confirmed: "O My slaves, I prohibits injustice, and I have defended to perpetrate. So do not unjust towards each other. "

The second verse, God lists the categories of people with whom we must break all links, against which we must resist, in order to ward off their blows and thwart their machinations. One finds confirmation in this verse: "Nothing else, God, you can not, with respect to those who have fought for religion and you have expelled from your homes and assisted back to your expulsion, to take for patrons. Those who take to the bosses, then it is them prevaricators."(The review, 7-8-9).

Explanation: God, the Most exalted, the Most Glorified, categorically prohibits you believers, to testify about love or affection to those who have fought you because you are Muslims, and those who have driven you away from your homes, and those who have helped you with your enemies expatriation. It is strictly forbidden to cooperate with them. Because, well aware that anyone who cooperates with these people and their like, harms its religion, its people and its nation. It is therefore doomed to perdition on earth and in the - Beyond. While it is true that he has betrayed God, the Most Exalted, the Most Exalted, as His Messenger, salvation and prayer upon him, and the Koranic law that the Messenger, salvation and prayer upon him, takes the Lord, the Most Exalted, the Most Glorified.

Both noble verses establish therefore Muslims barrel that should govern at any time and place, their dealings with non-Muslims, whether of the East or the West, North or South. This is the balance that God, the Most Exalted, the Most Glorified, put at the disposal of Muslims.

From these noble verses which constitute the starting point for our subject, we must learn many lessons and rules of conduct:

- All human beings are born of one father and one mother, as stated in the first verse of the chapter Women: "People! Fear your Lord who created you from a single person, and it was his wife, who both made abundance many men as well as women. "(Women, 20);

- God, the Most High, by His grace and His goodness, has fulfilled the hope of believers and responded positively to their implorations. Those who lived two decades away from their fathers, their mothers and their families, and, even worse, went to their battle. But God, the Most Exalted, the Most Glorified, by His grace, put them together, thus bringing together people with a pure natural to convert to infidelity to Creed and grouping them into a harmonious whole, as he says in this verse: "The believers, the hearts of which he has put affection; -Would-you spent all that is on earth, you would not have gotten its affection between their hearts but it is God who has put affection between them." (The remains, 63);

Law-sacred in Islam requires its followers to extend a hand of peace to anyone who goes down, regardless of their creed. Especially as dogma can be imposed. Indeed, it may not win his case on the plan, under duress and coercion, as hypocriticals dishonests, not sincere believers. God is telling the truth by pointing out that: "No compulsion in religion, for the right path differs from wandering." (The Heifer, 256);

- The clash of civilizations, the clash of doctrines and ideas is a conception that we Muslims, we reject. On the contrary, we recognize that, to those wise, civilizations together, combine their efforts and help each other for the good of all mankind. Sacred Law of Islam does not forbid its followers to benefit, within the limits of law, in the science and technology of non-Muslims. Nothing prevents either that the West learned of the civilization of the East or the North from the South and vice versa when that civilization brings to people, in accordance with the principles of morality, goodness and prosperity;

This Act - protected sacred human life, both Muslims and non-Muslims, using a variety of instruments, alternating between seduction and exhortation on the one hand, intimidation and reprimand the other. Suffice it to recall that the same law states that anyone who kills one person unjustly is as if he has killed the whole of humanity. In fact, God said in this regard: "Whoever kills a person, unless that exchange or another because of a disorder committed in the land-… nothing else, then it is as if it had killed all the people together."(Le Plateau served, 32);" And whoever makes him the gift of life "that is, one who acts so that this life is preserved by presenting testimony credible, preventing an injustice, murder, either by warning a tyrant, "it's as if it were the gift of life to all people together."

- Those who confuse Jihad in Islam and Terrorism and Aggression are ignorant and misguided. Because Jihad in Islam has been established that for noble purposes, including particularly: firstly, protecting religion, human life, homeland, honor, dignity, and everything that God has ordained Defense; secondly: to support victims of injustices and crime and punish those responsible. All the achievements that took place under the Prophet Mohammed, salvation and prayer upon him, were in fact driven by these two designs: the battle of "Badr" was intended to protect those who have been evicted from their homes, with no other crime than having proclaimed loud and clear the name of Allah, that of "Ohod" was conducted for the Defense of Medina against the onslaught of associates; the "Combined" (Al-ahzab) sought to thwart the siege almost total Medina by associates; taking Mecca was a way to help victims of abuse and inequity, in this case the tribe Banou Khoza'a, allies of the Muslims who were betrayed by their enemies , associates.

This is the meaning of Jihad in Islam to defend what it takes to defend, and provide assistance to victims of injustice.

As for terrorism, about the assault, they are themselves the antithesis of Jihad. The distance that separates them remains a huge abyss, as they are irreconcilable. For if Jihad is to defend the truth, to assist the stricken beings of iniquity, terrorism and aggression aimed at defending evil, to support tyrants, by the massacres, the theft of land, demolition many homes, theft of property, or the denial of legitimate rights.

- Law of Islam sacred jealously wishes to spread security and peace, tranquility and welfare for the benefit of all humanity, all members of the Muslim nation, between them and those who profess a religion other than 'Islam. Better still, the same Act recommends to his supporters, in the person of our intercessor, the Messenger of God, salvation and prayer upon him, to provide relief to anyone in need, to sign a peace pact with those who are worthy of non-Muslims. Witness these divine words, which contained through our intercessor, the Messenger of God, salvation and prayer upon him, are open to all persons advised: "And if any maker ask God asylum, then gives him asylum, until, what he hears the word of God, then do arrive at the place of safety. This is because these are people who really do not know! "(Disclaimer, 6)

Explanation: if one of associates resorts to you, you have to, oh My Messenger, give it your competition and preserve his life. You will soon give him in this way the chance to hear the Koran, ponder carefully what divine. It will have full discretion to choose: either Creed and the integration of the rank of your supporters, or return home, in which case, you should do escort until he returns to his home. While it is true that associates are not aware of what is the truth. They therefore need some time to think about it calmly, with the certainty of being safe in their country. In an authentic hadith, the Prophet, and Salvation Prayer over him, asked, those who make good zeal strictly enforce these guidelines divine: "Anyone who will not touch a man's life, and then to be missing his appointment is not mine, the victim responsibility be a wrongdoer. "

Your Guide to Traveling Responsibly

During the next 5 years, Earth Day moves closer to its 50th anniversary and if you're feeling inspired to leave a positive impact on your next trip, there are plenty of ways to become a more conscientious traveler. "It begins with being aware and mindful of your travel choices," says Ford Cochran, director of programming for National Geographic Expeditions. Prioritizing sustainability and supporting the culture, people, natural beauty and ecosystem in the destinations you visit will elevate your travel experiences, Cochran says.

Whether you're passionate about supporting local communities or preserving wildlife and natural resources, there are plenty of locales, tour operators, hotels and travel companies championing locally driven and sustainable practices -- you just have to know where to look. With this in mind, we spoke with sustainability experts to gather tips for going green and identified destinations and operators that are elevating the sustainability concept with forward-thinking initiatives. Here are the top ways to minimize your footprint on your next getaway.

 Do Your Research and Know Where Your Money Is Going

 Sustainability can be defined in many ways, says small-group adventure travel outfitter G Adventures's founder Bruce Poon Tip. It's important to remember that a key component of traveling sustainably goes beyond aiding the environment. It's also important to foster social well-being by utilizing local guides and suppliers, he says, highlighting that recently, the United Nations announced 2017 as the International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development, calling attention to the powerful economic, environmental and social contributions people can offer through travel.

 And before you choose a tour operator, it's essential to question whether your money will support and benefit the local community, Poon Tip explains. Beyond closely evaluating the ownership and relationship that the operator, hotel or expedition has with the local residents, it's also critical to assess other factors such as environmental welfare, social welfare and animal welfare policies. "There's a right way to appreciate wildlife," Poon Tip says, emphasizing the importance of choosing an operator that puts welfare at the forefront to ensure all animals are treated humanely. If you inquire about the welfare policy, "they have to be able to answer these questions," Poon Tip says. For example, "G Adventures" features its welfare policy directly on its website to offer greater transparency. Make sure that the operator discourages illegal practices and promotes the five pillars of animal freedom outlined by the Association of British Travel Agents: freedom from discomfort, distress, pain, fear, thirst, hunger or insufficient space. Some operators, including G Adventures, also advise against elephant-riding or trekking experiences to promote animal safety.

James Thornton, Intrepid Travel's managing director, echoes similar sentiments, emphasizing the importance of travelers understanding how travel partners operate. "The local connection"comes with knowledge, but also a sense of responsibility to give back and protect the community they benefit from. When you stay in a small-scale, locally owned accommodation, you know the money is staying in the economy," he says. He also advises using local transportation options, eating at local restaurants and relying on knowledgeable local guides to leave minimal impact on the destinations you visit. "Local partnerships and interaction is a key characteristic eco-minded travelers should look out for," he adds.

Embrace Local Traditions and Culture

 "Initiatives that were once considered an inconvenience have now been reimagined and reworked through the travel experience seamlessly," Thornton says. He points to the Community Tourism Project as an innovative community-based initiative forged in a partnership between ActionAid and Intrepid Travel that allows for cultural immersion. For example, in Myaing, a small township in Myanmar, Intrepid Travel has "created a community-run lodge where guests are housed in local-style accommodation, adjacent to villages," Thornton explains. And during the Intrepid Travel tour, visitors can enjoy activities spearheaded by the community and learn about the area's ecosystem, he says. "The goal of this project is to create economic opportunities that are sustainable, local-led and that provide benefit to the community as a whole, all while creating minimal disruption to the local environment or existing way of life."

When it comes to supporting local residents while traveling, Cochran recalls a trip to "Cusco", Peru, where he learned firsthand about the Andean region's 2,000-year-old weaving tradition from native Nilda Callañaupa Alvarez. To help revive the centuries-old tradition and contribute to the community, Callañaupa and other artisans began weaving beautiful tapestries, textiles and apparel. And thanks to financial support from the National Geographic Society's Expeditions Council, Callañaupa created the Center for Traditional Textiles of Cusco. "When we come to Peru, part of the story of the Andean culture is the story these women have done, and what she and our weavers have created," Cochran says. The proceeds from textile sales help support the weavers and their communities, making it a win-win for visitors and the local community, he says. Seeking ways to learn about and aid local communities is not only going to help promote long-term sustainability, but will also allow you to have meaningful and enriching travel experiences.

Pick a Place That Prioritizes Sustainability

Apart from selecting the right tour operator and experiences, it's also key to choose a destination that supports eco-friendly practices. "Sustainable living has been a big part of our DNA," says Carol Hong, the area director of business development, brand and communications for Singapore Tourism Board Americas. Hong highlights the city's advancements in urban planning and development. Often called The Garden City, "Singapore" boasts 18 Supertrees featuring photovoltaic cells that power solar energy and collect and recycle rainwater, she adds. "[Singapore is] first and foremost a city that's green" she says.

Nepal is another place that "strongly recognizes sustainability, not only as a mechanism for improvement but a crucial tool for getting back on their feet," Thornton says. After the 2015 earthquake, Intrepid Travel launched a Namaste Nepal campaign that urged people to visit Nepal, with all proceeds going to rebuild the country, he says. "It was work with the government, local partners and NGOs that allowed for these first tours to take place, realizing that through sustainable tourism, the economy would benefit without adversely affecting a tremendously damaged region."

In terms of lodging, you want to pinpoint a property that employs the local community, promotes sustainable, green-friendly initiatives and offers enrichment and educational opportunities to learn about the native environment and culture. Also, look for hotels that monitor water usage, clean the water supply and offset their energy use, Cochran says. For example, the Fogo Island Inn in Newfoundland, one of the properties selected in National Geographic's Unique Lodges of the World collection, uses "cod pots," an inventive fishing tool that reduces the impact on the area's marine ecology and simultaneously yields higher-quality fish to chefs in the area, plus it gives travelers the chance to connect with a community host and learn how to build boats.

Reduce Your Carbon Emissions

"There are many ways travelers can reduce their carbon footprint while traveling. Everything from choosing reusable water bottles, minimizing plastic waste and using public transportation helps," Thornton says. Beyond these steps, selecting companies, hotels and airlines that enforce sustainable practices is critical, he adds.

And before embarking on your trip, there are actionable steps you can take, Hong says. Packing light, consuming local products and finding the most direct flight route are just a few ways to reduce your carbon footprint, she adds. And if you have the means, she suggests taking carbon credits to offset the cost of your trip. For instance, when you book your hotel or tour, you can choose to counteract your carbon use by investing in sustainability-driven companies that build solar power facilities, purchase windpower renewable energy credits or plant trees.

There are many small adjustments you can make, Poon Tip says. He recommends carrying plastic reusable water bottles and considering active biking or hiking trips or train travel, which have lower carbon emissions than cruises or planes. Also, keep in mind, some major airlines, including United, Delta and Emitates, enable you to offset the carbon from your route. For example, United has a partnership with Sustainable Travel International that allows you to donate money (or miles) to greenhouse reduction projects such as reforestation initiatives in Peru and producing renewable wind power in Texas. And in honor of Earth Month, throughout April, Delta is matching donations consumers make to support conservation projects with partners like The Nature Conservancy also Emirates keeps no effort in recycling and waste management, save fuel and emissions and sustainable staff transportation service in Dubai increasing the number of staff carried on the service from 7,580 to 8,500 and improving its on-time performance, while reducing the distance driven by 9%, significantly cutting the number of buses used, and reducing CO2 emissions by an estimated 2,500 tonnes a year.

Apply the Same Values When You Travel

"People are starting to match their values with their holiday values," Poon Tip says. Rather than suspending beliefs while traveling, people are making conscientious decisions, he adds. He advises following the same practices you would at home such as using a reusable, refillable water bottle and conducting diligent research to ensure you know that your spending habits and activities align with the values that are most important to you.

 According to Thornton, "Sustainable travel is decided more by the traveler than the destination." Though some destinations offer greater convenience and access to sustainable options, "the commitment lies in the hands of the traveler to choose local accommodations, public transportation and immersive programs that give back to local economies," he adds.

Continue Protecting the Places You Care About

"We're sort of at a tipping point," Cochran says, noting that increasing evidence that the Earth is changing is all around us, and with greater connectivity than ever , people are increasingly inspired to preserve the places they care about. "The power of those connections is a really great force for good on our planet today," he says pointing out that travelers, journalists, filmmakers and photographers have acess to smartphones and social media platforms -- the most powerful storytelling tools -- in their pockets, empowering them to connect and influence others to travel responsibly with short videos from the field.

To travel sustainably, "feel free to adopt a destination," Cochran says. In other words, if you love America's "national parks", commit yourself to lending a hand to help preserve them. "They're only as protected as every generation chooses to make them," he says. Return to your favorite, marine sanctuary or other destination you care about, and don't be afraid to roll up your sleeves and contribute with a project or join a foundation, he adds. Bring your family members and friends and "experience it in all seasons," he adds. "Keep coming back."
