What Does Islam Teach? Episode 8 - Nationalism

[SaberMuslim]

The producers of this video do not have the correct Surah and Ayat posted. They need to get that fix. @cicak1059, you are mistaken, we are Commanded by Allah (s.w.t.) to re-establish the Islamic Way of Life according to the methodology of the Prophethood. Do you not see the end of this video posting the Hadith quoting Rasil'Allah (s.a.w.) to leave "nationalism" because it is rotten???

[eviilhomerr]

@somaliland34

Akhi what you say is irrelevant. Provocation or not, to remove the Shahada is to deny Allah SWT, and is therefore haram. These people still would rather celebrate winning a football game than worship their creator. What is more important, a game of football involving a country with a false name, or respecting and adoring he who gave you life. These people should have dropped their flags and bowed their heads in prayer. Nationalism is haram.

[TurkishLord20]

@eviilhomerr you make nice videos. but i have saw the flag of kurdistan. i have nothing to kurdish people but to pkk. they are not muslim they are killing muslims in Turkey and imams. they are killing children women elders. they have no respect to they parents. they are against the islam they believe in carl marx and lenin and if they see them flag there they should become proud of it. but im not to be proud to see it there. they are non-muslims. but kurdish people are muslim can you delete flag

[eviilhomerr]

@TurkishLord20

the point is that every flag there is not muslim

[cicak1059]

Now let me explain why is it so needed that Bosniaks to be Bosniaks and muslims rather then just "muslims"...we are the ONLY people in the world that were called muslims during the last century...now let me start of...Bosniaks are peoples that arrived during the Great Migrations...of course after the arrival we called this land Bosnia and we were Bosniaks...During the Medieval times we were catholic and heretic church of bosnia,which had many "touching points" with islam,it was quite like islam

[SultanSelim]

very sad to see that nationalist muslims even try to pull down a flag in which Allahs name is written. may Allah guide these people.

Nationalims indeed is ugly

[IIprotecttheinnocent]

...My brother no words do i have to explain the pain that is felt when muslims try and rip down a flag that states "la illha ilal lah"...may allah guide our ummah and may he unite us inshallah...walikoum asallam shame on those who done such things and knwo you must work twice as hard for our times are upon us...

[NoryIbnLounes]

OH I'M IN SHOCK !!!!!! How can they boo brothers who are carrying the flag of Islam ???????????? I... I just don't know what to say... Now I understand why the whole world is kiking our asses...

[erdal0]

im muslim and i spit on the koran

my parents are religious and i have respect for them and i participate with there wishes

but i think religion is adtional for being a good human it only adds stupidity

[MuslimaticMuslimah]

Yup, you have 'respect' for your parents and you 'participate with their wishes' by spitting on the holy book they follow.

(Note the sarcasm)

[theproudONE92]

@erdal0 ur a dumb fuck thats what u are

[theproudONE92]

@erdal0 ur assertions hold no basis when u look at statistics. The most atheistic nations on earth lead in crime, suicide and drug abuse, an example being Norway and Denmark, they lead in alcohol abuse and suicide and they are as atheistic as a nation can get. U say "spit on the Qur'an" ? u probably know very little about it. I was once an adamant atheist, at the time I was ignorant I truly believed religions were man made just to cause divisions. Only after learning Islam.. continued..

[theproudONE92]

@erdal0 .. did I once again call myself a muslim and practice it. Dont speak out of ignorance, if ur a person of intellect u should learn about it. And not from non muslim sources.

[ejaaz1234]

great job on the videos.. you're my first subscription.. jazakallah khair

[snowyygirl]

yo yuh mad racist.

[eviilhomerr]

me?

[YushaReina]

May Allah curse these hypocrites!

[StabbingEcstasy]

Jazak'Allahu Khair for posting this wonderful video! Fav'd and *****'d!

[kartBOI]

Nationalism has ripped us apart and shall continue to do so... we need to stop all this nonsence .. WE SHOULD BE BROTHERS IN ISLAM AND SISTERS IN ISLAM BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE !! ..

God bless all my brothers and sisters out there :) Salawat ala muhammad wa aleh muhammad

[rememberdarfur]

MashaAllah. You're absolutely right.

I never understood nationalism and hopefully never will.:)

Jazak Allah Khair bro/sis.

[karimgenerous]

c'mon guys do u really believe that these irakies on the video were booing the shahada. don't rash into conclusions.we hav only 1 side of the story .we hav a bunch of people celebrating the success of their team nd no matter how trivial it may seem 2 som, it is clear it meant something 4 thiz irakiz.

wy misrepresent the facts.we shouldn't use "la ilaha ila allah muhammed rasulu allah"2 taunt others it ain't right. remember thiz people on the vid r muslims 2 none of us is better than the other

[eviilhomerr]

They were booing the shahada and some of the Iraqi flags even had the name of Allah removed from their flags. They celebrate when there is nothing to celebrate about.

[karimgenerous]

were u there?eviilhomerr please don't get me wrong i lov ur videos and i think wat u r doin is gr8

i lov u 4 the sake of allah :) but in this vid it aint clear at all i don't think it's fair 2 say that thiz people just hate"the shahada"that's slander it's haram.if thiz people had nothin 2celebrate how com they wer all there?+wat was the point of the people who made the vid?lovin ur country doesn't mean u support nationalism @ the expens of the ummah.u lov ur country becuz it's part of the ummah

[eviilhomerr]

I wasn't there but I know the guy in the video, and the secular Iraqis apologized later.

What did they have to celebrate? That their football team won a game? They celebrate that while Kafir Governments and American troops are in the Ummah?

What you say is wrong, why should you love a so called country invented by Colonialists? The Ummah is not made up of countries, it is the ONE country, the Ummah. So you can't love a country because it's part of the Ummah.

I spit on Palestine for Allah

[cicak1059]

@eviilhomerr I am proud to be a Bosniak...and I am proud of being a muslim in my homeland...I will not spread racism or hatred upon other nations or other races,I love other races and other peoples but I belong to a nation and I will not let that go...Allah said that he made us different and that he created tribes and peoples...I love my country and I am a patriot and I would raise my flag proudly...so what...I am a khafir because I feel love for my country and my people?

[cicak1059]

@eviilhomerr And also,it is easy for you guys to say...it is easy to say to give up your only survival method...but here in Bosnia it is different...where was the Ummah when 8000 Bosniaks of muslim religion were slaughtered by the so called "Bosnian Serbs"?(or Bosniaks of orthodox religion,they have taken upon another name during the 18th century)...let us just face it...belonging to a nation is just needed in Europe,and the Albanian people have seen that and they have created a healthy Albanian

[cicak1059]

@eviilhomerr So there were these "heretics"(as the pope called them) and catholics,even before the arrival of the Turks the Bosniaks that were heretic accepted islam(thanks to the sufi that arrived before the turks and we learned about islam and many people accepted it as their religion...of course when the turks arrived they did not care weather we would,or would not accept islam,but we did...they just wanted our lands...and many bosniaks today of muslim religion like to raise turkish flags...

[cicak1059]

@eviilhomerr which is sick by me...after the arrival of the turks the Bosniaks still remained Bosniaks...no matter the religion,they were Bosniaks(catholic,muslim andorthodox religion)...and of course there were some minorities...karavlah(serbs that arrived during the ottoman occupation)...and nizam...jews and roma...of course the bosniaks were known as a people within Bosnia...a tolerant society...during the 18th and 19th century the storms of nations started to hit europe,people started to

[cicak1059]

@eviilhomerr to round up into nations,also the nations of serbs and croats formed and the croats were catholic and serbs were orthodox...it was a bad situation for the Bosniak people because the leaders of the Bosniak nation were killed and they were not allowed to talk about it...the idea of Bosniakism was first introduced by Osman-pasa who saw the need of the peoples in Bosnia to form this nation...of course that nation would not be islamic but rather both islamic,catholic and orthodox

[cicak1059]

@eviilhomerr The preachers of this idea were Husein Kapetan Gradascevic,Ivan Franjo Jukic and many others...of course for example the Bosniak leader Husein Kapetan was killed by the Ottomans because he led a fight for the autonomy of Bosnia which was given to the Serbs...of course the Bosniak nation was killed in its roots...but it was supported by many catholics,muslims and orthodox,of course in time thanks to propaganda from Zagreb and Belgrede catholics became croats and orthodox serbs...

[cicak1059]

@eviilhomerr During the Austro-Hungarian times the Bosniaks again rose up...the idea came again in the hearts and minds of the peoples...again Zagreb and Belgrade opposed the idea...slowly the nation formed but at the moment of the forming the man that actually made this possible was Benjamin Kalaj...he died...when he died the WW1 came and the Kingdom of Serbs,Croats and Slovens formed...Bosniaks were denied the right to actually call themselves Bosniaks...they were not a nation nor a people

[theproudONE92]

@cicak1059 bro ur arguments suck please stop speaking ur makin us yugoslavians look bad, sorry.

[cicak1059]

@theproudONE92 Yugoslavians don't exist!

[theproudONE92]

@cicak1059 I know they dont exist but Im from Montenegro and Serbia but once we were all part of one country. As a muslim their is no space for nationalism, its garbage.

[cicak1059]

@theproudONE92 Nationalism is not garbage...what do you want?A big islamic country?Don't make me laugh...First of all we must be realistic here.The islamic caliphate is history...and the second thing is that the Qur'an does not command us to create a Islamic caliphate (a big islamic country).The country after Muhammad a.s. was more of an Arab characteristics then islamic.The Arabs used islam to unify among themselves.But the Qur'an does not command that we must create an islamic country.

[cicak1059]

@eviilhomerr The muslims were forced to live in a country that was forced upon them...and they did not have the right to call themselves Bosniak,muslim or anything else for that matter...when the WW2 came there has been a small revival but in time the nation of Bosniaks was already forgot...the usual term for a muslim from Bosnia was Turk,and for a bosnian serb or croat was vlah...after WW2 we were forced to be called Serbs of islamic religion or Croats of islamic religion(which was degrading)

[cicak1059]

@eviilhomerr for us Bosniaks...then after some time we were given the option to call ourselves muslim (by nationality),and you would have the situation that some man was an atheist but he declared himself muslim...now in the last war we came back and regained our lost glory and took up the name Bosniaks...so if we say that we were muslims and only muslims then we already belong to a nation...we would be called serbs and croats of islamic religion...so this is a SURVIVAL METHOD...

[theproudONE92]

@cicak1059 Im from Montenegro and I say to hell with nationalism, its for idiots who like to be dominated.

[cicak1059]

@eviilhomerr and it is easy for you guys to say,when somebody living next to you has not got a knife ready to kill you...while here it is different...anyways I will stick to being a Bosniak...and a Bosniak of islamic religion...it is easy for you guys in Arabia and Egypt to call yourselves muslims,but here in Bosnia it is quite different...I love my land,my religion,my country...

[cicak1059]

@eviilhomerr And it is natural to love your homeland and your country,it is natural to have patriotic feelings and to feel proud of your flag and country,it is natural to feel proud going under the flag of your country,a flag that has been carried for centuries and centuries...it is natural as it is natural to believe in one God and to believe that Muhammad is his prophet...It is easy to be in the USA and not to be a nationalist but in Eastern Europe and the Balkans it is different...

[SaeedAnwar194]

May the flag of La-Illaha-Illullah Muhammad-u-RasoolAllah always stand high! ALLAHUAKBAR!!Hey u know whats ironic about the Iraqi flag? It says "Allahu Akbar" in the middle!!! and yet they boo Allah's flag? Ustaghfirullah shameful!!!

[VICEPPP]

right, correct, I dont believe in national flags,..actually me and my father are making a massive shahadah flag to hang outside our house so evryone knows we are muslim! who cares if ur from iraq, turkey, pakistan, saudi arabia, iran, whereever! arent we supposed to be one ummah?? :( that's why we are in darkness...may Allah bring us back together and guide us all.

[hijabiflower]

wow I cant believe muslims were booing the shahada flag! no wonder Allah is causing so much chaos for the Iraqi's THEY WENT AWAY FROM ISLAM! I bet if a bunch of Christians were there they wouldnt have done that. I personallly think they are cursed for good for doing that! What an evil fate to have

[786afh]

They should feel so ashamed of themselves. Iraqi flag is better than flag of Allah? Astaghfirullah, whats happened to the ummah

[heartcap4u]

Assalam-u-Alaiqum brothers and sisters,

Before reading ahead and inserting your opinion, I request that you read ALL of my messages and then if you want comment, feel free. Although I did thought it was wrong of the Iraqis to boo to Allah's flag, I do not think nationalism is haram in Islam. Loving ones country, ones culture, ones language, ones people is not haram, but helping them do injustice is.

[heartcap4u]

I think that us being one Ummah is that we love one another, respect one another, and help one another in a time of difficulty, and not prefer one for another. 'A man once asked the Prophet if bigotry was to love one's tribe. "No", replied the Prophet. "Bigotry is to help your tribe to tyrannise others." (Hadith of Ibn Majah on the authority of Ubadah Ibn Kathir Ash-Shami).

[heartcap4u]

'O mankind, We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know each other (not that you may despise each other). Surely the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is (He who is) the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things).' (49:13).

[heartcap4u]

We muslims should stick together in good and bad, help each other, and not think ourselves better than other brothers/sisters, but we should not lose our identities. The Prophet did say in his last sermon '...No Arab is any superior to a non-Arab except in piety...' but he did not say that Arabs and non-Arabs are one country or something. Therefore, I am a Pakistani and I love my Pakistan, but before that I am a muslimah and I love my Ummah.

[heartcap4u]

While I have Arab brothers and sisters, I have Bosnian brothers and sisters, infact I have brothers and sisters all around the world (Masha'Allah), I have a certain connection with my brothers and sisters from Pakistan because I have the same values as them, I have the same soil mixed in me as them, I have the same language as them, I have so much common with them.

[heartcap4u]

But nationalism has a limit. For example, it is alright to cheer for one's country if they win a soccer match against another brother country but it is not alright to cheer for one muslim country in war with another muslim country, etc etc.

This is my thought on nationalism, I am not a scholar so I may be wrong, if you have a solid proof against my statement then please let me know (reference provided). Jazak'Allah.

[eviilhomerr]

I will respond to you in a comment on you channel.

Salam

[bumajedx]

@4:05 where is Qatar flag

[bakhtash]

Bismihi Ta3ala

Assalamu 3alaykum ya akhee, masha'Allah ta3ala for this beautiful plea to the Muslimeen wa'l Muslimaati, I know in first hand, being an Iranian Muslim, exactly how destructive nationalism is.

By the Mercy of Allah, if the other middle eastern countries would dismiss nationalism, overthrow their corrupt regimes and look at the side of Iran I would be there screaming and crying for a one state solution of the Muslim issue:)

[Wowzerz00]

Are those Iraqi people? WOW I am so ASHAMED OF THEM!!!

Jazak'Allah Khair for the video. My heart got a little heavy from watching the first several minutes of it.

[traitor323]

One God

One Deen

One State

[xMuslimSouljax]

wow akhi, this is what im tlaking about muslims are so proud of their stupid lil flags and countries and they go so far as to boo the flag of islam astugfirullah, its funny cause all these "muslim countries" were carved up the coloniast kuffars they split the islamic state up into many countries, and muslims are so stupid that they are actually proud of these made up country names and flags.

[islamiContent]

SubhanAllah, such a shame...

[karimgenerous]

i pledge allegiance to " ash'hadou ana la ilaha ilal allah muhamed rasoul allah"

[beyazhaq]

You sounds like an Evangelical Christian..."Arabs attacked God (swt) so we've been weakened and punished..."get a life!""O Mankind, We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know each other. Verily the most honored of you in the sight of God is he who is the most righteous of you" (Quran 49:13).

Of course people should be united in faith but that does not mean that OTHER things cannot also unite them!

[eviilhomerr]

Your giving me a quote I know by heart.

I am an Arab, and we did betray Allah SWT

Maybe you didn't see the whole video but

"And verily this Ummah of yours IS A SINGLE UMMAH and I am your Lord and Cherisher: Therefore Fear Me (and no other)."

Q.23:53:

The quote you gave means you should not hate each other, but know each other. It doesn't mean you shouldn't be a United Ummah.

The Ummah and Khalifah are important aspects of Islam

Funny how it's always Arabs who are anti-Ummah

[Queenlatifa27]

Jazak'Allah Khair

[Haflikhan]

Your Lord is Allah swt

Your nation is the Ummah

Your leader is the Khalifah

Your is the Shahadah.

MashAllah this such an inspiring piece and i LOVE them lines above.

May Allah swt reward u for ur efforts in making this vid and may Allah swt shower u and the whole of the Ummah with HIS barakah and Rahma upon u and them always....amin...x

Jazakhallahu khayran for sharing this with us.

[ProtectorofCopyright]

You really go through the point bro,

Jazak'Allah Khair for the beautiful video:)
