judge about islam with awareness

Do not judge about islam without sufficient information

I want to present some general concepts about judging about Islam. I think these concepts can help you to have a real understanding about Islam.

1. Considering Islam as a whole.
We should see Islam as a system and regard Gods commandments as a whole. Islam isn’t only one or two sentences. We have to pay attention to all traditions and verse of Quran. Each of them interprets each other. And if we found a statement that is in front of whole we should construe that one.

2. Generality of laws.
When a lawgiver enacts a general law, it is impossible to consider all peoples benefits.
What is important is this: that he has to enact a law that its outcomes are better than others a whole. I mean he should consider public benefits.

3. Considering life's needs.
Maybe we think that logic is the important things in the life and because of this for example we say that man is privileged. But reality is something else. I mean our life needs two basic things: logic and affection. Man and woman have different among of these because of their responsibility. Each of man and woman are prevail in one and deficient in other. So in some position man do better than woman but in other places woman do better, so none of them (logic and affection) are not advantages for man or woman.

4. Differences between Islam's commandments and Moslems behavior.
Some actions in Moslems societies are not attributable to the laws in Islam and Quran and or Islam leaders' behaviors. sometimes we see a great disparity between what God advocates us and some accepted behaviors in Moslem society . For example it is a common sentence that man can divorce his wife without any problem but we read in quran : you should treat women honorably if you dislike them (be mindful that) you may dislike something and Allah brings through it a great deal of good for you.(4:19).
