Imam Tawhidi – Reforming Islam Part 7

Imam Mohamad Tawhidi makes the point – “I am trying to change the Mentality of a Community at least on a local level socially, I might not be able to change Mecca and change the whole Religion, but at least where we live, we want to have a Peaceful Community.‭ ‬So I’m trying to present a better example for the moderates or the vulnerable ones, than the Extremist Imams in their own Mosque…what I do is I use a lot of Quotations…So it’s not my words, I quote certain issues and I referred to certain social events and I comment on them.‭ ‬So I try my best not to make any statements from myself because the level of mentality within the Muslim World is that okay as long as it has a Divine Coating then we’ll accept it.‭ ‬If it’s from Tawhidi himself then it’s man made.‭ ‬So if it’s Divine, they also can’t reject it.‭ ‬So I try to use a lot of quotations.” He’s asked to give an example – “…when I speak against Stoning, I can refer to the most sacred book outside the Quran, the Bahai, and show that the stoning began when Two Monkeys were throwing rocks at each other…and a companion of Muhammad saw them and said okay, so that monkey must be a female and must have cheated on that male.‭ ‬So he’s stoning her so we must apply‭ that!…‬So what I do is I bring these Sacred Scriptures that speak about Stoning and how it began with Monkeys…And I quickly say well this is a Monkey Teaching.‭ ‬It sounds funny I’m having a go at them.‭ ‬But the Evidence is there.” Tawhidi is a Clever as well as a Principled Man. He gets my Support in his Efforts.
