[A black flag was used by Muhammad to represent his religion.[2]
Islam has not symbolized itself with any particular object or symbol, but due to political reasons a flag was required to give a standard for Muslims, especially during the wars. The Prophet used flags of different colors in different Ghazwat (campaigns commanded by the Prophet) and Saraya (campaign commanded by any Sahabi). The major flag of the Prophet was known as "Al- Uqaab", it was pure black with and without symbol or marking. Its name and color was derived from Quraish's national flag.]

ReplyDeleteYou are not practicing what you preach
What is Ghazwat? It was nothing but raid, rape and plunder. This what UMNO is doing. Just emulating the narcissist. Please read the all Hadith and you will know what I mean.
Dear Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteAbout the "Ghazwat" - I have nothing much to say(other than the fact that it is meant to be a military campaign), except that it is used here as a metaphor for the psy-war against Umno.
We have a psy-war with Umno. If there is an event wherein there is a "psychological rape & plunder" of the Umno extremist/terrorist ideas/philosophy (to prevent their absurdities & atrocities), so be it.
The message is simply this (in case you missed it) - "We have a legitimate reason in this Psy-war, to raise the Black Flag".
So, it beats (and I don't mean "hitting" here) me where exactly I "do not practice what I preach" .... perhaps you could enlighten me.
