A moorti

Topic started by banneditem on May 7, 2008 5:47:29 pm

Q:Why were Mushammads(PBUH) images not allowed?
A: So people would not start worshipping him instead of Allah.

Q: What are the present day muslims doing?
A: Worshipping the messenger.

So lets build a moorti of Muhammad. It will be a nice item to sell outside the mosques alongside agar battis and surma. Let hindus design the moorti but have Saudis manufacture it, it will be like Philadelphia Mint Authentic.

Here is one moorti, Pandit Laddu ji what did you think of it?



This wooden sculpture in the Church of Our Dear Lady in Dendermonde, Belgium depicts Mohammed on the ground, clutching the Koran, being trampled on by angels.


some more for the cheer.

AlephNull: I'd like to one more, check out the title..

Politics of Piety: The Islamic Revival and the Feminist Subject. Saba Mahmood

isn't it pretty BSful? *-)

Pandit Laddu Maharaj:
I see that you have shamelessly started addressing peeps with "ne farmaya"... I'd like to claim a copyright on it. Please, desist or I might ask Allah Mian for his full throttle Azaab, (a fiery brew of Allah Mian's saliva seasoned with a few poisonous bugs (bichhu, saanp, etc.) cooked in Naar-e-Jahannum) on you. Wama Aleyina Illal Balagh.

There is a very apt moorti of Mohammad with Quran in one hand and sword in another !!!

Let us ask chinese guys to make millions of replica and sell it all over europe.

Let there be one idol of mohammad in every kafir home as a reminder of the fate that awaits in the hands of sunnah cloned mohammad's sword!!!

Kaale khan ne farmaya-

"Jihad is essentially a Muslim's effort in the service of, or struggle for, Islam. "

Hey, this is taquiyya.
Either you mean-

1. "Jihad is essentially a Muslim's effort in the service of, or struggle for (supremacy of) , Islam. "

or

2. Jihad is essentially a Muslim's effort in the service of, or struggle for (survival of) , Islam."

you have to supply the correct expression in order to make the term "struggle for Islam" clear to every one instead of leaving it on gullible idolators to guess the meaning!!

nb:

{{neembu, while i have you here, and we are not talking about the usual important shyte, why is kaal insistent on calling you a jihadi?i know you're not, but i've asked him..no response}}

Armed combat is not the only form of jihad (or even of the 'outer jihad'). A momin/momina confronted with a non-Islamic dispensation or perceived manifest injustice to Islam and/or Muslims is expected to do jihad with the sword, if possible; if not, by overt political action; if that is not feasible, through speech and personal advocacy; if not, at least in his or her heart. (This is my paraphrase, but I have reason to believe that this is Islamic gospel, or at least widely promulgated and accepted doctrine.)

The point is to not passively submit to the kuffar establishment, but instead to increase Islam's mind-share, to promote Islamic ways of viewing the world, to always resist, by any feasible means, until all worship Allah alone and the Islamic millennium has been ushered in.
(T)

Now our neembu is not someone who regards Islam as a intrinsically evil, violent, retrograde and a threat to human freedom. :@ She does not even view it with basic indifference as a tiresome outworn creed with nothing to offer the modern world. She appears to sincerely believe that a dispensation that is pro-feminist, gender-equitable, and compatible with her progressive political sensibilities, can be grounded in Islam. Her frequent if comical attempts to promote and discuss Islamic feminism (as seen in the works of Fatima Mernissi B), Asra Nomani B), Leila Ahmed B), Amina Wadud B), Asma Barlas B) and other eminent Muslim feministas (T) ) should be read as a form of advocacy for Islam and its relevance to our times. It is in this sense that neembu should be viewed as a jihadi. B)

CA, tahmedji is a very strange person. He has some totally unique ideas and interpretations, his take on kashmir jihad being among the relatively less interesting of those. Someone was talking about knowing twenty odd other people in the world who share his interpretations. Would love to know who those twenty are!

In any case, gotta to sleep early tonight. Have to fly out very early tomorrow morning. Goodnite. (T)

Eki, tahmed admitted that jihad in kashmir was wrong.

Nothing wrong with murthis of mohammed, he is like sai baba for muslims. He was a bit more vain tho! And a bit nuttier!

ek,
I am not kidding. To an outsider visting a few Mirzaees will think they are all related, thinking that Mirja jee is the gramps. But this is about the Khatam-ul-Nabiya and his moorti, wiki up Mirja and his sexual fantasy of Muhammadi Begum, I wouldnt be surprised if other horny prophets pop up. Scripture is filled with them.

ok, sorry about those poor jokes, but is this true that Mirjaees have pictures of mirza ji hanging in their houses? I have been into persian houses with pictures of ali hanging around, which I thought was a bit odd...*-)

jang, that would be more like krishna-rukmini mandir. To get the radha-krishna experience you might need muhammadi begum-mirza sahib mandir (except that this radha, one hears, wasn't very willing).

Ek,
I am not that well versed on Mirza and where he got his crazies, but I know one thing Mirjaees have pics of him hanging in their houses, usually thats the first thing you see when you enter a mirzaee house. Other devoutees may have all the calipas too dangling about. His moorti hmmmm
*-)...dont know... I am going for a global product, his would be a delicacy for a samller audience... not a bad idea though.

:D

imgine the possibilities...just like hare-krisha radha-krishna mandir, an aisha-prophet mandir.

I am certain someone would have seen him in his/her dreams while doing istighara.

Hey bi, a serious question. Since Mirza ji tried to use some of idolatrous Indian ideas, did he also accep/have any plans to introduce idolatory in Islam? (If he did, it might be cool to give buy-one get-two offers with a moorti of mirza ji included.)

it would be impossible, no one knows what he looks like BI

at least with Moses, we can picture Charlton Heston, and Jim Caviezal as Jesus
