How to react if your so called comrades suddenly highlight the issue which seems to be conflicting like pluralism? or even liberalism? say the ISSUE OF HUDUD for example...
yes.. we are amongst the Islamic activists but we cant imposed our values to our nonmuslim comrades..
yes... we are aware of the notion..." let us start from our "common things" then what will happen if we are at the conflicting junctures?
Quite often we will bump into our relatives who simply refuse to join family events like tahlil, insist that female circumcision is haram and starts labelling people as "sesat"
Just sharing these 20 principles outlined by Islam as described by AlShaiykh Yusuf Qardawi in his book of
Sakhsiyah Al-‘Am Al-Islamiyyah , 2000, Maktabah Wahbah, p.144.. and had been elaborated by Tan Sri Prof Kamal Hassan in his class..
i found it useful for us beginners at least to understand with the stands taken by certain Islamic movement when dealing with our recent "conflicts" in Malaysia... like the wahabi issues, mazhab issues, pleuralism issues, hudud etc....
I have classified them in accordance to level of individual, action , organisation for better understanding
**** AND WHAT BEING RECOMMENDED BY iSLAM IS to advocate the middle stance and balance between the two extremes... (AlBaqarah, 2:143)
