New Ideas - The Difference between Islam and Muslims

Dr. Ahmed on Local TV. The difference between Islam and Muslims, what happen when we ignore the orders from Allah and make a human law and believe it is from god?

Bio: Dr. Ahmed Subhy Mansour (also Ahmad Subhy Mansour and Ahmad Subhi Mansur), born March 1, 1949, in Abu Harair, Kafr Saqr, Sharqia, Egypt is an Egyptian-born noted Islamic scholar and cleric, with expertise in Islamic history, culture, theology, and politics. He founded the small Egyptian Quranists sect that is neither Sunni nor Shiite, was exiled from Egypt, and lives in the United States as a political refugee.
ansour was an advocate for democracy and human rights in Egypt for many years, during which time he was isolated by Islamic extremist clerics and persecuted by the government. He was arrested and served time in prison for his liberal political, religious, and social views.
In May 1985, Mansour was discharged from his teaching and research position due to his liberal views, which were not acceptable to the religious authorities who controlled much of university policies and programs.
Mansour sought and was granted political asylum in the United States in 2002. He has served as a visiting fellow at the National Endowment for Democracy, and at the Human Rights Program at Harvard Law School.
Mansoor received his junior middle school education in 1964, and ranked second in the Republic on the national exam. He graduated from Al-Azhar Secondary School, in Sharkeya, Egypt, in 1969, and ranked fourth in country on the national university entrance examination. He then attended Al-Azhar University in Cairo, a prestigious Sunni religious university. There he studied Muslim History, earning his B.A with Highest Honors in 1973, his M.A. with Honors in 1975, and his Ph.D with Highest Honors in 1980.
He founded a small Egyptian sect the Quranists, who believe: the Quran is the sole source of Islam and its' laws (they reject hadith, or reported traditions of Muhammad), is comprehensive and completely sufficient in itself, was revealed to Mohamed to clarify all controversial and mysterious religious issues, was Mohamed's only tradition and he was ordered to abide by it alone, and Islam is the religion of peace, mercy, justice, freedom of speech, and freedom of religion. Its fundamental principles put it squarely at odds with those Muslims who follow the principles of the Wahabists and other Islamists who consider the central tenet of Islam to be a requirement to wage violent jihad.
From 1973--80 he was an Assistant Teacher and Lecturer, from 1980--87 he was Assistant Professor, of Muslim History in the College of Arabic Language at Al Azhar University.
In May 1985, Mansour was discharged from his teaching and research position in Egypt due to his liberal views, which were not acceptable to the religious authorities who controlled much of university policies and programs. Because of his unconventional scholarship, Al-Azhar University accused him of being an enemy of Islam. He was tried in its canonical court, and expelled March 17, 1987. In 1987, beginning with his arrest on November 17, and in 1988 he was imprisoned by the Egyptian government for his views, including his advocacy of religious harmony and tolerance between Egyptian Muslims, Christian Copts, and Jews.
In 1991--92, he worked with Farag Foda to establish a new political party in Egypt, Mostakbal ("The Future Party"), dedicated to a secular democratic state, and to defend the Christian Egyptians. Foda was assassinated in June 1992.
From 1994--96, he was a Member of the Board of Trustees of the Egyptian Organization for Human Rights, which worked to protect Egyptians from human rights offenses. In 1996, Mansour established a weekly conference at the Ibn Khaldoun Center -- headed by Dr. Saad Eddin Ibrahim -- in order to discuss Islamist dogma, religion-based terror, and other issues. It functioned until June 2000, when the Center was closed down by the Egyptian government and Ibrahim was arrested.
Mansour sought and was granted political asylum in the United States in 2002.

The biggest enemies of Islam R our Criminal Imams/Mullahs/Clergy frm 750AD onward. These Criminals hs blended many false things in Islam. Prophet left behind QURAN ONLY. If Hadiths wr Part of Islam, He ws supposed to leave behind hadith bks too but Did he leave any Hadith bk? NO. Hadith Bks wr fabricated by Persian Zoroastrian Imams 300 yr aft Prophet in order to disbale Quran. Pls Google our following page to read detail:

Persian & Roman wr 2 Sup-Powers in 600AD & both wr crushed by Arabs. Aft final defeat of Persian FireShippers in battle of Qadsia, Persians felt deep insult & made plans to destroy Islam. Up to ~750 AD, Islam ws pure but When Pro-Shia Abbasids took over [750-1258 AD]. Islamic State ws hijacked by Persians Bramakka. It was right time for them to take revenge frm Islam. They fabricated 4 milns hadith to deface Islam & to disable Quran. Bokhari & all Persian hadith Imams were criminal Zoroastrians

@QuranVsHadith Same here on all points

[lindaheywood]

Why does this commentator and the interviewee both say that Mohamed was the founder of Islam when god says in the Quran that Abraham was the first one to name us Muslims? Why don't people actually read the Quran before making sweeping (1:28 mins) statements that God does not make!? They wrote the books of hadiths because Satan led them astray and away from Islam and the Quran.

[FictionsBlaster]

May Allah bless u. U have said nothing but TRUTH. Majority of Muslims are gone astray like Christians. Hadith book were invented by Shatan to deface Islam. Ahadith books are full of lies and non-sense. Yet majority of Jahil Muslim believe in these fabricated books. Their Mullahs has brainwashed them from 1200 years that these ahadith were said by Prophet. In fact Prophet never said them but these are all fabrications. Whole Islam is contained in Quran

[lindaheywood]

Imam is not from the hadiths, Imam is in the Quran chapter 21, verse 73, We made them imams who guided in accordance with our commandments, It is not a shia word either! It means a leader! I wish people would actually study the Quran before making comments Mohamed did not restore anything... you are idolising Mohamed if you make this statement. GOD ESTABLISHED, RESTORED AND MAINTAINED ISLAM not a dead men or men writing on YOUTUBE!!!

[KBW2010]

@lindaheywood Agreed. Although I do not think the word Imam suits. Imam is a Hadither Shia concept. In other words an Imam is a high priest. Muhammad restored the religion of Ibrahim which was Islam.

[lindaheywood]

I wish this uneducated interviewer would stop saying that Mohamed was the founder of Islam when the Quran says clearly that Abraham was the first Imam and Mohamed followed the religion of Abraham! Don't these people ever read the Quran?

[QuranVsHadith]

after years of study... I came to an independant conclustion that Bukahari et. al had deviated from the correct beliefs of Islam..

now since have I have been on YT..the Promise of ALLAH in the QURAN that similar Muslims will ALWAYS find each other is coming true..

I am so happy and almost in tears to watch these videos!!
