Inna asdaqal hadeeth kitaaballaah, wa khayral hadi hadyu muhammad sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam. Wa inna sharral umoori muhdathaatuhaa wa kulla muhdathatin bid’ah wa kulla bid’atin dhalaala, wa kulla dhalaalatin fin-naar.” Amma ba'du

From this point of view, we can said that Muslim nowadays are no longer live in harmony as a Ummah. May be this issue is sensitive for those whom concern but as a part of journalism ethics, we have to clear this misconception  among Muslims.

The thing is, if you want to make some academic articles or research or talks, please be sure that you have the knowledge about it, understanding and references that can support you. You might certain to the articles you're writing on, but still in out there are some people who have their own understanding that cant match to your ideas and intellectual. As to be safe, we cannot say they are wrong because they have their own 'daleel' or reference to support them.

Therefore, make sure that the sources are 'muktabar' that you taken is from our prominent scholars. Others than that, it is a different story.

If you have the knowledge and understanding about something, but in the end you have no reference, it just a shaky statement of thought. If someone want you to prove it, you cant due to lack of references and from this, it will arising the debate to determine which one is true-(the writers and readers)

That's why we should seek for teacher to teach us regarding to religion by the way of TALAQQI. We cannot learn it with only the books that we buy, or borrow from others. This exception only for our prophet SAW because he got the knowledge and understanding through divine source.

We cannot deny that you want to contribute something for Islam and want to share your thought to others. But it not suffice if the reference you get is not stated. The originality and the authenticity of our articles may affect ourselves, community and Islam itself.

Other words, as a responsible Muslim, we must take it seriously and try not to make as many as much misconception about Islam. West always want to promote ISLAMOPHOBIA through Ghazwul-fikr (mindset attack)

In Response, we must defense our religion from this deviant teaching which propagate from the WEST.

Some of the quotation from FBI agent, William Gawthrop regarding his IDEA to promote ISLAMOPHOBIA;

“We waste a lot of analytic effort talking about the type of weapon, the timing, the tactics. All of that is irrelevant … if you have an Islamic motivation for actions. Even taking down hostile states like Iran is futile, since “there are still internal forces that will seek to exert Islamic rule again.”

The best strategy for undermining militants, Gawthrop suggested, is to go after Islam itself. To undermine the validity of key Islamic scriptures and key Muslim leaders.

إِنَّ الدِّينَ عِندَ اللَّهِ الْإِسْلَامُ ۗ وَمَا اخْتَلَفَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ إِلَّا مِن بَعْدِ مَا جَاءَهُمُ الْعِلْمُ بَغْيًا بَيْنَهُمْ ۗ وَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِآيَاتِ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ سَرِيعُ الْحِسَابِ

Lo! religion with Allah (is) the Surrender (to His Will and Guidance). Those who (formerly) received the Scripture differed only after knowledge came unto them, through transgression among themselves. Whoso disbelieveth the revelations of Allah (will find that) lo! Allah is swift at reckoning.  

(Ali-Imran: 19)

وَإِن تُطِعْ أَكْثَرَ مَن فِي الْأَرْضِ يُضِلُّوكَ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ۚ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا الظَّنَّ وَإِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا يَخْرُصُونَ
And if you obey most of those in the earth, they will lead you astray from Allah's way; they follow but conjecture and they only lie. 

(Al-An'am: 116)

وَلَوِ اتَّبَعَ الْحَقُّ أَهْوَاءَهُمْ لَفَسَدَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالْأَرْضُ وَمَن فِيهِنَّ ۚ بَلْ أَتَيْنَاهُم بِذِكْرِهِمْ فَهُمْ عَن ذِكْرِهِم مُّعْرِضُونَ

And should the truth follow their low desires, surely the heavens and the earth and all those who are therein would have perished. Nay! We have brought to them their reminder, but from their reminder they turn aside. 

(Al-Mukminun: 71)
