First of all, it is important to note that “Allah” is the same word that Arabic-speaking Christians and Jews use for God. If you pick up an Arabic Bible, you will see the word “Allah” being used where “God” is used in English. This is because “Allah” is the only word in the Arabic language equivalent to the English word “God” with a capital “G”. Additionally, the word “Allah” cannot be made plural or given gender (i.e. masculine or feminine), which goes hand-in-hand with the Islamic concept of God. Because of this, and also because the Qur’an, which is the holy scripture of Muslims, was revealed in the Arabic language, some Muslims use the word “Allah” for “God”, even when they are speaking other languages. This is not unique to the word “Allah”, since many Muslims tend to use Arabic words when discussing Islamic issues, regardless of the language that they speak. This is because the universal teachings of Islam – even though they have been translated in every major language – have been preserved in the Arabic language.

Judging Islam on the basis of a few Muslims is like eating a rotten fruit and blaming the whole tree.

 Judging Islam on the basis of a few Muslims is like eating a rotten fruit and blaming the whole tree.
 A juzgar Islam sobre la base de unos musulmanes es como comer una fruta podrida y culpar a todo el árbol.
 Afgaande islam op basis van een aantal moslims is als het eten van een rotte vrucht en het beschuldigen van de hele boom.
 A en juger l’Islam sur la base de quelques musulmans, c’est comme manger un fruit pourri et de blâmer l’arbre tout entier.
 Islam urteilen auf der Grundlage von ein paar Moslems ist wie Essen eine faule Frucht und die Schuld den ganzen Baum.
 Yīxiē mùsīlín de jīchǔ shànglái kàn yīsīlán jiào shì xiàng chīle làn shuǐguǒ hé zhǐzé zhěnggè shù.
 Att döma islam utifrån några muslimer är som att äta en rutten frukt och skylla hela trädet.
 Sudya islam na osnove neskol’kikh musul’man , kak yest gnilyye frukty i obvinyat’ vse derevo.
 Birkaç Müslümanların temelinde İslam’ı bakılırsa bir çürük meyve yeme ve bütün ağaç suçlamak gibi.
 A giudicare l’Islam sulla base di alcuni musulmani è come mangiare un frutto marcio e incolpare tutto l’albero.
 Menilai Islam atas dasar beberapa umat Islam adalah seperti makan buah busuk dan menyalahkan seluruh pohon.

You can’t love if you can’t forgive. You can’t forgive if you can’t accept mistakes. You can’t accept mistakes if you can’t be humble.

 You can’t love if you can’t forgive. You can’t forgive if you can’t accept mistakes. You can’t accept mistakes if you can’t be humble.
 No se puede amar si no se puede perdonar. No se puede perdonar si usted no puede aceptar los errores. No se puede aceptar errores si no se puede ser humilde.
 Je kunt niet liefhebben als je niet kunt vergeven. Je kunt niet vergeven als je geen fouten kunt accepteren. Je kunt geen fouten accepteren als je niet nederig kan zijn.
 Vous ne pouvez pas aimer si vous ne pouvez pas pardonner. Vous ne pouvez pas pardonner si vous ne pouvez pas accepter les erreurs. Vous ne pouvez pas accepter des erreurs si vous ne pouvez pas être humble.
 Man kann nicht lieben, wenn Sie nicht verzeihen können. Sie können nicht verzeihen, wenn man nicht Fehler zu akzeptieren. Sie können keine Fehler zu akzeptieren, wenn man nicht bescheiden sein.
 Nǐ kěyǐ bù ài, rúguǒ nǐ bùnéng yuánliàng. Nǐ bùnéng yuánliàng, rúguǒ nǐ bùnéng jiēshòu de cuòwù. Nǐ bùnéng jiēshòu de cuòwù, rúguǒ nǐ bùnéng qiānxū.
 Du kan inte älska om du inte kan förlåta. Du kan inte förlåta om du inte kan acceptera misstag. Du kan inte acceptera misstag om du inte kan vara ödmjuk.
 Vy ne mozhete lyubit’ , yesli ty ne mozhesh’ prostit’ . Vy ne mozhete prostit’ , yesli vy ne mozhete prinyat’ oshibki . Vy ne mozhete prinyat’ oshibki , yesli vy ne mozhete byt’ skromnym.
 Eğer affet olamaz eğer sevemez. Eğer hataları kabul edemez eğer affedemem. Eğer alçakgönüllü olamaz eğer hataları kabul edemez.
 Non si può amare se non si può perdonare. Non si può perdonare se non potete accettare gli errori. Non si può accettare gli errori se non si può essere umili.
 Anda tidak bisa mencintai jika Anda tidak bisa memaafkan. Anda tidak bisa memaafkan jika Anda tidak dapat menerima kesalahan. Anda tidak dapat menerima kesalahan jika Anda tidak bisa bersikap rendah hati.

The Roots of Iraq’s Sectarian Division

Source: http://lostislamichistory.com/

The land of Iraq is home to some of the most ancient and precious civilizations in history. In the Mesopotamian valley that encompasses the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, Babylonia, the world’s first empire was born. Writing was first developed along the banks of the rivers with tablets made of clay. Advanced government bureaucracies were first implemented here. It is truly one of the cradles of human civilization.

And when Islam was revealed in the deserts of Arabia south of Mesopotamia, the people of Iraq were some of the first to accept Islam outside of the Arabian Peninsula during the caliphate of Abu Bakr. As Islamic history went on, Iraq became one of the centers of the Muslim world, with Baghdad being established in the 8th century as the capital of the Abbasid Caliphate. Politics, culture, science, and religion all flourished here in early Islamic history. After the Mongol invasion, however, Iraq’s importance declined, it eventually became a part of the Ottoman Empire from the early 1500s until the end of the empire in the First World War. After the war, it was organized into a British-controlled mandate, which sought to create an independent nation-state in this ancient land.

Which brings us to the question: what is Iraq? The British assumed they’d find a homogeneous people in this land that would easily coalesce into one united nation, but the reality has been much more complicated. When the British drew Iraq’s borders, the people within those false borders were of different ethnic groups, religious beliefs, and languages, yet they were all expected to adopt a new identity – Iraqi – and function as a modern nationalistic European nation. This article will address the origins of these problems of identity in 20th century Iraq.
