Islam: Understanding the Deen and Ummah This is in response to a friend's email.
Assalamu Alaikum my dear friend.
Understand that there is the Deen of Islam and the Ummah of Islam.
The deen is the religion and spirituality of Islam. It is largely beautiful and very spiritual.
The ummah is Islam in the world, political Islam.
These two are one.
One can not properly practice the deen without the ummah nor the ummah without the deen.
These two are one.
Everything the Islamic Ummah does is understandable. Most westerners do not understand this. Islam is not evil, hateful, etc. Islam is a religion of deep faith and devotion to God according their understandings and they preparing for the End of Days, the arrival of the Dijal or Antichrist and the subsequent coming of the Madhi or 12th imam.
The Twelve Imams:
"Islam means Peace" but only peace for those who submit ("islam") to Islam. While it is true that "terrorism" is not harmonious with Islam, when devout Muslims strike out against the infidels in defense of Ummah and Deen, their actions are not considered to be terrorism.
This is something most westerners don't seem to understand.
A US soldier in Iraq or other countries is not considered to be a murderer even though he or she may have murdered so many people. This is because they murder under the authority of their government.
In the same way, when devout Muslims carry out attacks on the Infidels who are seeking to destroy Islam or upon those who refused to revert, to accept Prophet Muhammad (SAW), they are not, by their standards, practicing terrorism.
For Islam to continue to exist as Islam it must resist the New World Order and the machinations of the Bilderberg Group/Illuminati and its puppet nations like the US, the UK, the EU etc.
Converting the world to the religion of Secular Humanism is a key agenda of the New World Order. By the deceptions and authority of the NWO Elite Christianity has largely embraced Secular Humanism, as the biblical prophets foretold (Rev. 3:15-20). Islam is resisting this move towards Humanist Globalism.
Videos such the following nicely reflect the beauty of the Islamic Deen.
The goals of the Islamic Ummah may be seen on the evening news as they march forward towards their intended global Caliphate.
Such videos can, for this reason, be deceptions in terms of what embracing the Deen entails. This is not a coincidence. Islam, like Christianity, is a missionary religion and Muslim missionaries are getting VERY good at using the Net and new technologies to get their message out.
Understand though that without the Ummah there is no Deen.
Salaam.
