@NEMEDEX@donutmemes @M_AhsanAkram @jacksonhinkle I did my research to prove you're wrong but I didn't need to because the Qur'an itself says "let there be no compulsion in religion" so it is forbidden to forcefully convert someone.
@NEMEDEX@donutmemes @M_AhsanAkram @jacksonhinkle There is no racism in Islam, it is the only religion that would allow everyone to have a fair chance regardless of their race and that's why you have Islamic leaders like Mansa Musa. Not to mention many of the Prophet (pbuh)'s companions were black.
@NEMEDEX@donutmemes @M_AhsanAkram @jacksonhinkle The richest man to ever live was Mansa Musa, a West African Muslim leader of the Mali empire. If it was spread by the sword in West Africa, then how did a West African become the leader and a very rich one? Muslims made Africans rich while Christians enslaved them.
@NEMEDEX@donutmemes @M_AhsanAkram @jacksonhinkle Christianity came to Nigeria in the 15th century through Augustinian and Capuchin Friars from Portugal. The first mission of the Church of England was, established in 1842 in Badagry by Henry Townsend. Islam arrived in Nigeria in the 11th and 12th centuries.
@donutmemes @M_AhsanAkram @jacksonhinkle Christianity was spread by the sword whereas the Islamic Empire hasn't had a single forced conversion reported in history.
@Abdirisak_MB @ClarifyingLight “Whoever calls a man 'kafir' [disbeliever] or said 'O, enemy of Allah', when he is not one, (the accusation) will rebound to him” (narrated by Al-Bukhari and Muslim)
Even if what they did was kafir we still have to assume the best because calling someone kafir is prohibited.
@Abdirisak_MB @ClarifyingLight Or we can assume that maybe they misunderstood the salawat and thought it was a form of worship. This is false but we should forgive them if they misunderstood. Sayyiduna ‘Umar ibn Al Khattab (RA) said to always assume the best of your brother/sister.
@Abdirisak_MB @ClarifyingLight I agree with you that it would be kufr but assume the best that maybe they did not intend to make the halal haram and that there was a misunderstanding. Maybe they don't understand the English language well. Whatever it is, we have to assume the best before making conclusions.
