To Uday: Instead of criticizing Muhammed (peace upon him)

Submitted by Nuray (Portugal), Oct 25, 2005 at 16:15

Dear Uday,

You said that
"Islam could not rise beyond imagination of an illiterate man. And you talk about technology?"

I am very well educated in science. I have made contribution to technology as much as I can.
I am Muslim. I believe in Allah and accept Muhammed (peace upon him) as his messenger. Quran have captured my heart and mind as a believer. I admire Muhammed (peace upon him) who was an illiterate man, but educated believers how to worship Allah in a manner Allah wishes, how to behave humanly in social life, how to share their wealth together to secure peace. Instead of criticizing Muhammed (peace upon him) why don't you try to learn something from him. He has very inspiring life for everybody. Let me share a story about him. A woman escaped from her enemy with the help of her camel. She told Muhammed (peace upon him) that she decided to sacrifice her camel to Allah because of her successful escape. Muhammed (peace upon him) says "don't punish the camel. He helped you." What a wise and merciful personality that I admire much.

Yours
Nuray
