The
Fiqh, Jurisprudence, Council of North America (FCNA)
wishes to address the issue of terrorism and how it is
viewed in the Islamic legal and ethical system
Islamic
law has consistently condemned terrorism and extremism in
all forms and under all circumstances, and we reiterate this
unequivocal position. Islam strictly condemns religious extremism
and the use of violence against innocent lives.

Islam stands clear on issues of Violence
against women: No beating of wives and no abuse of women
This statement is declares that domestic violence
has no room in Islam what so ever. First of all, it should
be clear that the institution of the family in Islam is based
on mutual respect, affection, mercy and love. Any form of
physical or emotional abuse is prohibited. A husband is not
allowed to physically or emotionally harm his wife, and the
wife is not allowed to abuse her husband. |

A
call for dialogue
Published on September 3, 2006, fredericknewspost.com,
Imam Yahya Hendi
If one were to believe morning news and the
pictures of the recent events in the Middle East, one
would have to conclude that we are at the dawn of a
clash of religions and civilizations.... |
Jews, Muslims and Peace, Yehezkel Landau and
Yahya Hendi, WORLD COUNCIL OF CHURCHES: CURRENT DIALOGUE
Issue 41, July 2003
With ongoing violence sapping the spirits of Israelis
and Palestinians, and with the Iraq war generating shock
waves throughout the Middle East, we call on our fellow
Jews and Muslims to join forces with concerned
Christians to transcend this cycle of death and
destruction. Jews and Muslims should be spiritual
allies, not adversaries... |

Imam
Yahya Hendi’s statement regarding the Bombings of the London
on the 7th of July
I wanted to take this
opportunity to express my deepest sympathy for the Citizens of
the United Kingdom and the world for the loss of many of its
innocent sons and daughters due to the barbaric brutal cruelty,
murder and terror bombings that rocked London’s public
transportation on the 7th of July.
Such acts of terror betray
the very great values that have to shape our relationships as
members in the human family. The massacre of innocent people
will serve no cause except the cause of divisive voices of evil
and must fully be rejected by all people of conscience.
On behalf of all of those
with whom I work and serve here in the USA or worldwide, I
extend my sincere condolences to the families who have suffered
in this tragedy and pray for patience and protection of our
human family.
I call on my fellow Muslims
to adhere to the value of the human life as revealed to us in
the Holy Qur’an and as taught to us by Prophet Muhammad.
Muhammad said: “None of you truly believes till he wishes for his fellow human what
he wishes for himself.” We all must speak with one voice
to empower the voiceless and offer shelter to homeless
irrespective of geopolitical, ethnic or religious background.
We, Muslims must reject any form of violence in the name of our
great religion of peace, Islam.
I also call upon all human
beings to join those Muslims interested in promoting universal
values and common good. Our objective must be of three folds:
Politics of justice, economics of equity and covenant of
community.
Now is our
chance as members in one human family to unite
in our efforts to confront violence and build peace for the
planet with which The Almighty Almighty entrusted us.

ANNE WILSON SCHAEF: Differences challenge assumptions
JEROME NATHANSON: The price of the democratic way
of life is a growing appreciation of people's differences,
not merely as tolerable, but as the essence of a rich and
rewarding human experience.
JIMMY CARTER: We have become not a melting pot but
a beautiful mosaic. Different people, different beliefs, different
yearnings, different hopes, different dreams.
JOHN F. KENNEDY: If we cannot end now our differences,
at least we can help make the world safe for diversity.
JOHN F. KENNEDY: The wave of the future is not the
conquest of the world by a single dogmatic creed but the liberation

BLAISE PASCAL: Do you wish people to think well of
you? Don't speak well of yourself.
