“Honesty is a must …”
“Obeying mothers and fathers is a must … a big fault and offence to reproach or reprimand them, not even to say to them angrily (ouff…)”
Mustafa H. Al-Wadi, Author
My question was as follows:
Q – Mr. Mustafa your book has given me the ambition to ask you about the cause that encouraged you to compose such an admirable book where you surely spent a lot of time in fulfilling this project?
A1 – during my long life (b.1920), I found so many curious behaviors and different understandings. Besides very large groups in this world who ignore religion rules that lead them to happiness. We take for example the Islamic religion, very large groups have ambiguous notions that this religion calls for killing and terror. This imagination creates hatred and disgust among them. So they hate anything that is connected to Islam. Personally I felt very distressed and angry from a certain moslem group that has not reached the medium level of education to to step forward and appoint themselves to teach people the rules of Islam in a manner which can be considered below any standard of teaching. Their teachings are therefore inappropriate and cause harm to others and to their companions.
A2 – we have millions of our children in Europe, America, Asia, etc… who are there to gain education, Arts, Technical knowledge, etc …but unfortunately they did not receive their religious education. So they know nothing about their religion that calls for good behavior and the right way to deal with others.
A3 – I wrote this book in a simplified way just only to give chance to them to understand the correct behavior of Islam and to prove that it’s not all a terror or acts of destruction. No, this book shows the way of good behavior, honesty, etc… as to killing it’s absolutely forbidden in Islam, especially to innocent people; self defense is surely permitted but in lawful way.
Honesty is a must, heirs must have their legal shares, poor people must be helped and this is why the Islam religion has asserted that (Zakat) in Arabic, means Alms Tax, to be given yearly out of their wealth and the amount defined to two percent from their wealth to poor families yearly. (Riba) in Arabic, means interest, is absolutely prohibited by all means.
Obeying mothers and fathers is a must and obligatory especially when they reach old age, it’s also a big fault and offence to reproach or reprimand them, not even to say to them angrily (ouff…), respect must be always shown to them.
This is a very brief cause I give to you, where there are so many things that are very important in life should be taken into consideration.
