I came across this point;
You are being redirected...

Quote:
Mosque Imams around the world continue to pray to Allah to grant ‘Victory to Muslims over Qawm al-Kafiroon’, i.e. Non-Muslims:

One of the reasons I avoid attending Friday congregations at mosques is a specific invocation uttered by mosque imams just prior to the formal Friday congregation prayer we Muslims refer to as the Juma’a. In the prayer, the clerics ask Allah to give “victory to Muslims over the ‘Qawm al-Kafirun,’ the Arabic phrase that lumps all non-Muslims, that is Jews, Hindus, Christians, Atheists, Buddhists and Sikhs into one.

Note an actual tape recording of the prayer is given together with the article in the link above.

Question:
How true is the above claim [as supported by evidence].
Is this prayer done by all Islamic mosques or confined to only certain sects or groups of Muslims.

What is pathetic is most apologists are ignorant of the above on how SOME Muslims [in compliance with the Quran] are viewing them as inferior beings to be dominated.
The apologists are engaging in potential mental masochism of the worst kind.

There is nothing pathetic about wishing for victory when a 'qawm al-kafirun' wages war against 'qawm al muslimun'. If 'qawm al muslimun' waged war against 'qawm al kafirun', the 'qawm al kafirun' too will be wishing for victory over the 'qawm al muslimun'.

In the above statement, 'muslimun' are those who are either being attacked or are attacking and not ALL 'muslimun'. The same way, 'kafirun' in the statement is not ALL unbelievers but only those who are waging war or are being attacked.

That is what is meant by “victory to Muslims over the ‘Qawm al-Kafirun,’ The context is war.

By the way, it is not an obligatory part of the Friday prayer but, as mentioned, just before the formal Friday prayer or in a du'a just after the formal Friday prayer or even after other prayers. Nobody is urging Muslims in a Friday prayer to go out and attack ALL kafirun.

It is your ignorance of human nature and human psychology that you do not understand the serious implications and the subtle brainwashing effect of wishing for victory against non-believers especially within a religious setting.

According the the OP, Mosque imans around the world [I presume most] would be praying for victory over non-believers every Friday.

Note according to what is shown, there is no mentioned of 'Muslimun' or 'kafirun' within an actual war situation.

You forgot about 61:9??
61:9. He [Allah] it is who hath sent His messenger with the guidance and the religion [wadeeni] of truth, that He may make it [al Islam] conqueror of all religion [alddeeni الدِّينِ] however much idolaters [infidels] may be averse.

61:10. O ye [Muslims] who believe! Shall I show you a commerce [transaction, deal] that will save you [Muslims] from a painful doom? [i.e. a net profit on J-Day and this is too commercialize!]

61:11. Ye [Muslims] should believe in Allah and His messenger, and should strive for the cause of Allah with your wealth and your lives. That is better for you [Muslims], if ye [Muslims] did but know.
[Duty of a Muslim to ensure a place in heaven and paradise] [a motivation for jihadists]

61:12. He [Allah] will forgive you [Muslims] your sins and bring you [Muslims] into Gardens underneath which rivers flow, and pleasant dwellings in Gardens of Eden. That is the supreme triumph.
[sins removed, therefore pure profit]

61:13. And (He will give you) another blessing which ye [Muslims] love: help from Allah and present [current, near at hand] victory. Give good tidings (O Muhammad) to believers.
[Winning wars and spoils of war] [another motivation for jihadists to go to war]

61:14. O ye [Muslims] who believe! Be Allah's helpers, even as Jesus - son of Mary said unto the disciples: Who are my helpers for Allah?
They [Muslims -apostles and Christians] said: We are Allah's helpers.
And a party of the Children of Israel believed [as Muslims], while a party disbelieved [as infidels].
Then We strengthened those [Muslims] who believed against their foe [infidels], and they [Muslims] became the uppermost.
[participate in "Muhammad's raids and war campaigns]

The above could mean as already proven, Muslims will be the initiator with Allah's help to conquer other religions. As such the prayer to victory is likely to apply to this situation. In addition there are 300++ verses that contain war elements which should influence and inspire Muslims to initiate war against non-Muslims.

Thus the above prayer for victory in a general situation brainwashes Muslims around the world into war mode even when there is no actual war. This prayer in addition to the many war laden verses influenced and inspired evil prone Muslims to fight and kill non-Muslims. The evidence is already glaring, i.e. [29,081]



where non-Muslims are even killed over the drawing of cartoon. Innocent Non-Muslims are killed in soft targets, like cafe, theatres, supermarket, on a busy road, by the beach, etc. merely because SOME Muslims are brainwashed by that prayers for victory and other fight, jihad related verses.

Since it is not a part of the Quran, such a prayer should be banned immediately and imans should be jailed if they perform such an evil laden an immoral prayer within a religious setting.

I never heard it at any Mosques I have ever attended for Friday Jummah and when I lead Jummah I do not do such.

Then again for the past few years when I lead Jummah the only one present is my wife and on occasion some close friends

I do, you do and so did Bush and Blair. That's how everyone was brainwashed to believe that Saddam had WMDs. That's how you were brainwashed to believe that the terrorists are "Islamic terrorists". That's how you still believe that they are "Islamic". That's how you still believe that they are the true Muslims.

If you had believed Bush and Blair then, why don't you believe Bush now?

I have told you that there is no question of praying for VICTORY if there is no WAR. Mosque imams do not hide their speeches. The speeches are openly broadcasted from Makkah and Madina every Friday. They wish for victory, not over all unbelievers but over those who are attacking Muslims in Palestine and in Kashmir. Do you think Americans would be friendly with Saudis if the Saudis were praying for victory over all American non-Muslims? So your assertion is a load of crap.

I have heard them and it is always about attacks on Muslims in Palestine and Kashmir. They actually mention Palestine and Kashmir quite clearly.

The Link you have provided here does not work. I am not sure if it is my computer or something wrong with the Link URL.

I have told you several times by now that I have studied the Qur'an. I cannot forget any verse of the Qur'an after having studied it.

[61.8] They desire to put out the light of Allah with their mouths but Allah will perfect His light, though the unbelievers may be averse.

[61.9] He it is Who sent His messenger with the guidance and the true deen, that He may make it prevail over all (false) deens, though the polytheists may be averse.

The points to note in these two verses are:

(1) All attempts to annihilate Islam will fail, and they did fail.

(2) Islam will be made to prevail over all false religions that were against it, the truth of which was witnessed by Arabia in the lifetime of the Holy Prophet.

(3) Polytheists will not like it. Idol worshipers did not like it.

You need to note that the word in Arabic Qur'an translated by Pickthall as "conqueror" is incorrect. "Prevail" (something that lasts rather than is destroyed) is the correct translation in English (see 9:48).

Funny how you link these verses to present situation of war but you refuse to accept when I say that the context of the verses then was of then war.

Your interpretations in () is laughable and pathetic exposing your ignorance about the context in which these verses were revealed. The victory mentioned has already been achieved. It was achieved when Muslims came back home to Makkah after the treaty at Hudaibiyah. Read about this treaty and link the verses to that Treaty as these were revealed soon afterwards.

It's not a formal prayer but a supplication by imam. You will have to ban all Bush and Blair imans attacking others to go for victory. Ban them mentioning VICTORY as it is evil laden element in their mouths.
