Mulla Bassim Reciting For Muslim ibn Aqeel

This film, produced by the Science Research Foundation, a Harun Yahya institution, presents the Muslim response to and denunciation of terrorism. Beginning with the event of September 11, the film explains that all kinds of violence against civilians are crimes against humanity and grave sins in religious terms. It is also stressed that terrorism is an inherent feature of secular ideologies like communism, fascism and racism. In contrast, all theistic religions - Islam, Christianity and Judaism - are opposed to terrorism and their ultimate goal is to bring peace and brotherhood to mankind.

This film reveals the cruelty communist China inflicted on the Muslim Turks in Eastern Turkestan, the killing fields of Cambodia, the minority Muslim population in Cambodia who was a target for the savagery, and the 60s generation of the West who got caught up in communist ideology in the West.

Everyone experiences moments that might be described as “difficult” in their lives. Yet no matter how negative any situation may appear at first sight, no matter how unpalatable it may be to one’s self, it is still filled with beauty and goodness for anyone looking at it from a Muslim perspective. Because believers know that all these perceived difficulties created by God are actually tests… And, furthermore, contrary to appearances, they are auspicious and filled with beauty. The person concerned may not be able to see it, but the important thing is to have an absolute belief that everything is created for an auspicious purpose, and to behave accordingly.

Terror ... War, exile and slaughter ... For decades now the Holy Land has been a place of blood, tears and suffering ... Yet there was a time when Palestine was a byword for peace, tolerance and justice. Members of different religions lived together as brothers and worshipped in a spirit of mutual respect and tolerance. This time of peace went down in history as that of Muslim administrations. The region came under Islamic rule with the capture of Palestine by Caliph Umar in 637 AD. This new administration displayed great tolerance towards the Christians and Jews in the country. As a requirement of Islamic values, Muslim administrations allowed the members of different religions to live according to their own beliefs. The Ottomans captured the region in 1517 and displayed the same tolerance and justice as the previous Muslim administrations. They developed a climate of peace and freedom in the region that is still a model today. Thanks to the “nation system,” which allowed people with different faiths to live according to their own beliefs, Christians and Jews enjoyed an environment of tolerance, security and freedom in Ottoman lands.
