Loyalty to Allah
Dear Ruzan Shah,
When you say there is no country which totally follows Islamic laws, the question arises, why not, particularly when there are many 100% Muslim countries? Is the royal family in Saudi Arabia illegitimate in the eyes of Islam? If so, why are the Muslims permitting them to control the holy shrine of Mecca? Shouldn’t Muslims focus their terrorism on the Saudi Royal family, instead of carrying out such acts in India where Muslims enjoy all the rights of the majority and some more?

You keep talking about loyalty vis-a-visa Allah without realising loyalty is a concept that makes sense when there is more than one of the same type to which you can be loyal. For instance we would want Indians to be loyal to India because there is always the possibility that at least some of them could be loyal to Pakistan. In the case of Allah, to whom else can you be loyal when according to Islam there is no one else like Allah?

Further, Ruzan, please do not say Islam believes in universal brotherhood. Islam only believes in the brotherhood of the believers, that is, believers in Islam. That is why they allow only Muslims to Mecca.You have quoted well from the Bible, but unfortunately Islam does not allow you to seek the truth, it only expects you to follow the truth it claims to have set out in the Quran.

Venu, the other thing towards which a person can be loyal is towards his vims and fancies.So Islam wants its followers to be loyal to Allah only and not to some of his wishes which are against the rules and regulations of Islam.

There are lot of terrorist attacks which took place in Saudi Arabia. you may not be aware of it because media hype is not given to those attacks as it is given to the attacks in UK and USA. There is lot of Anger against the saudi govt.But it is not manifested in open.

Dear Learner, Loyalty is a word that cannot be used for things like whims and fancies. Maybe by using the English word 'loyal' we are not expressing the exact relationship Allah expects from Man. Maybe in Arabic they have the more appropriate word. Do locate the word and write on it. Are you sympathetic to the terrorists who are against the Saudi government?

I am not sympathetic to the terrorist who are against the saudi government.I have just answered your querry that there are terrorist attacks which happened in saudi arabia.and the resentment against the govt is rising by the day.
