Glossary of Islamic Terms in English

The lexicon of Islamic terms on the homepage is taken from documents of the OIC or from the QSHUT or canonical texts of Islam.  The forum header contains a brief definition, then a later post gives further description and scripture references, if required.  The Islamic use of a term on 4F may be indicated by upper case.

Fascist Enablers use our words with different meanings, commonly because it allows them to equivocate around pejorative terms or difficult issues.  Therefore, before you join any media discussion or public debate, you must get agreement on which definitions are being used.

  • ALLAHU AKBAR: Literally means (our) "God is greater", but is most often found used to celebrate killing or victory over, a non-Muslim, thus rendering the sense "Die, inferior scum!"
  • BIGOT (religious): This term can only be applied to non-Muslims, because, as Muslims follow the one true religion, they are entitled to treat other religions with contempt
  • CHARITY: The giving of alms to other Muslims (only)
  • CIVILIAN: a non-combatant, as long as he is also INNOCENT
  • COMPASSION: The concept of Al Wala' Wal Bara' (love and hate for Allahs sake) means that compassion can only be extended to those within the Ummah. (Qur'an 48.29)

  • HYPOCRISY: Means "pretending to be a rule-following muslim, but (secretly) breaking some of the rules".  But for a muslim to pretend to care for non-muslims is not hypocrisy, it is a form of Jihad.
  • INNOCENT: Islam prohibits the killing of innocent people, except for those who reject Muhammad's message after it has been clearly explained. So any non-Muslim is not 'innocent'

  • RAPE: Is not defined simply in terms of coercive intercourse, because in many situation the man is permitted to force himself on his wife, or other captive women

  • SELF DEFENCE: Muslims can kill you in self defence if you've rejected an invitation to join.
  • SILENCE: Indicates consent, if you want it to, as in the case of marrying off 9 year old girls
  • SLANDER: truth that Muslims don't want to hear

OFFENCE
(1) Nationally: Occurs as an orchestrated day-of-rage around an incident of Islamophobia, to further the enforcement of the Islamic law on slander.
(2) Personally: Occurs when a non-Muslim speaker has exhibited Islamophobia:Islamic

RAPE
Rape as a concept does not exist in Islam as we understand it, the closest it gets is forced 'zina' (adultery). Islamic law does not consider rape a separate legal category but places it together with other sex acts outside of the marriage/right hand possession contract. Islam allows for various forms of rape and in some cases (hanafi school) explicitly condones it in the case of marital rape. Rape in islam (ightisab) is a property crime and cannot by definition be committed by the husband against his own property such as his wife or slave.

This is what 'The Reliance of the Traveller' says on this subject:
@M5.1: The Wife's Marital Obligations

It is obligatory for a woman to let her husband have sex with her immediately when:
(a) he asks her
(b) at home (O: home meaning the place in which he is currently staying, even if being lent to him or rented)
(c) and she can physically endure it

O: Another condition that should be added is that her marriage payment (mahr, def: m8) has been received or deferred to a term not yet expired

As for when sex with her is not possible, such that having it would entail manifest harm to her, then she is not obliged to comply.  If she asks him to wait, she is awaited, to a maximum of three days (O: She does not ask to wait because of not having finished her period or postnatal bleeding, for there is not physical harm entailed in her complying as she is, though if she fears that such foreplay with him will lead to actual copulation (A: which is unlawful under such circumstances), then she may refuse, as that is not obligatory).  (n: w45 discusses wives' other duties to husbands.)

Manifest harm would be decided by a Sharia court.  A Hanafi judge takes a more severe view than a Shafi'i fiq one:

"For the Hanafis, a wife's sexual refusal was not grounds for loss of maintenance. However, this was because she was still considered "available" to her husband; he was entitled to force her to have intercourse."

BIGOT (religious)
See the dictionary definition:

  • Religious bigot: a person who regards or treats members of a different religious belief with hatred and intolerance

So this term which cannot be applied to Muslims, because, as Muslims follow the one true religion, they are perfectly entitled to be intolerant and contemptuous of other religions.

Hello Alan, I am working with the ROTT  to "Reveal the Sharia" through a series of graphic images with definitions and readings of law straight from the sharia. This link is on slander (Ghiba, r 2.2, page 730). Slow going, but hope to have a couple dozen by the end of the year.

Slander
Any true statement about Islam that offends Muslims. 
We're hearing a lot of it  at the moment with regard to the film "The Innocence of Muslims".  Apparently the portrayal of Muhammad as a paedophile because of his consummation with Aisha is slanderous.

CIVILIAN
A non-combatant, as long as he is also INNOCENT (as shown by Muhammad's night raid on the Banu Mustaliq)

OPPRESSION (of Muslims)
If you do not grant preferential treatment to Muslims, in the form of privileges and concessions, as authorised and required by Sharia Law, then you are oppressing them.

Aggression: (against islam) To refuse to revert back to Islam when offered the chance.

TERRORISM
Khamenei characterizes the Islamic war against Israel as "jihad," while Muslims fighting against each other is "terrorism." Islamic supremacist groups condemn "terrorism," but by it they do not mean violent actions by Muslims against Infidels -- that's not terrorism, it's jihad.

Rightist / Far Rights
Normally used for anyone the speaker disagrees with, whether they are Socialist, Black, or whatever, as in this article:

http://www.economist.com/news/leaders/21564846-south-africa-sliding...

After spending the whole article teaching us that the ANC have total control of the country and nobody else has any hope of getting a look in, the Economist says:

The best hope for the country in years to come is a real split in the ANC between the populist left and the fat-cat right to offer a genuine choice for voters.

But hang on: the ANC leadership are black aren't they?  And they are allegedly "for the people", socialist?  But the Leftists have to call them Right Wing because, that's their term for anybody they disagree with.

So, next time someone calls you Right Wing, ask them: "Are you saying I'm a black socialist?"

Muslim Terrorism Count

Thousands of Deadly Islamic Terror Attacks Since 9/11

Mission Overview

Most Western societies are based on Secular Democracy, which itself is based on the concept that the open marketplace of ideas leads to the optimum government. Whilst that model has been very successful, it has defects. The 4 Freedoms address 4 of the principal vulnerabilities, and gives corrections to them. 

At the moment, one of the main actors exploiting these defects, is Islam, so this site pays particular attention to that threat.

Islam, operating at the micro and macro levels, is unstoppable by individuals, hence: "It takes a nation to protect the nation". There is not enough time to fight all its attacks, nor to read them nor even to record them. So the members of 4F try to curate a representative subset of these events.

We need to capture this information before it is removed.  The site already contains sufficient information to cover most issues, but our members add further updates when possible.

We hope that free nations will wake up to stop the threat, and force the separation of (Islamic) Church and State. This will also allow moderate Muslims to escape from their totalitarian political system.

The 4 Freedoms

These 4 freedoms are designed to close 4 vulnerabilities in Secular Democracy, by making them SP or Self-Protecting (see Hobbes's first law of nature). But Democracy also requires - in addition to the standard divisions of Executive, Legislature & Judiciary - a fourth body, Protector of the Open Society (POS), to monitor all its vulnerabilities (see also Popper). 
1. SP Freedom of Speech
Any speech is allowed - except that advocating the end of these freedoms
2. SP Freedom of Election
Any party is allowed - except one advocating the end of these freedoms
3. SP Freedom from Voter Importation
Immigration is allowed - except where that changes the political demography (this is electoral fraud)
4. SP Freedom from Debt
The Central Bank is allowed to create debt - except where that debt burden can pass across a generation (25 years).

An additional Freedom from Religion is deducible if the law is applied equally to everyone:

  • Religious and cultural activities are exempt from legal oversight except where they intrude into the public sphere (Res Publica)"
