Noticed that anti-Islam trolls resort to identity theft, unauthorized
cancellation, repeated personal attacks and spray paint vandalism
targeting Muslims online. Simply put, because they are lack of
intelligent or knowledge to challenge the intellectual powerful Muslim
articles.
Are there any weak points in Islam that enable enemy of Islam to
attack it?
As you know Muslims are facing many challenges, pressures and
criticisms from enemy of Islam in the world.
In light of this atmosphere, should we Muslim not be the most open and
honest about our short comings and try to tackle them as opposed to
being overly defensive and seeming to make excuses or cover our
faults?
The reason for this question is that if we seem to deny or gloss over
obvious shortcomings it will not help us to overcome them. Perhaps
some Muslims feel that to deal with our problems openly will assist
the enemy of Islam in their attacks on Islam.
Firstly:
There are no weak points in Islam - praise be to Allaah - that the
Muslim needs to worry about. Islam is the perfect religion of
Allaah,and Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"And the Word of your Lord has been fulfilled in truth and in justice"
[al-An'aam 6:115]
One of the scholars said that this means, it tells the truth in its
reports and is just in its rulings.
Allaah has blessed us by completing His religion and perfecting the
blessing, as He says (interpretation of the meaning):
"This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My Favor
upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion"
[al-Maa'idah 5:3]
If an Islamic ruling seems to a person to be a weak point, he should
realize that the fault lies in his way of thinking, because some of
the rulings of sharee'ah that are absolutely wise and just may appear
otherwise to some people, either because of their whims and desires,
or because it goes against what people are used to in their lives,
that goes against sharee'ah.
