Some Primary Rules!
·
Participants
agree that no word of man i.e. (English translations) of any Islaamic
sources would be used in debate. The only sources would be used are Glorious
Qur’aan and Sunnah (including Ahadeeth). Likewise, Jews and/or Christians must present the original
sources of their beliefs in its original language in support of their argument
going back to Jesus and/or to other Biblical Prophet[s] with collective
unbroken chain of practices and/or authentic verifiable narrations. No
translation of the Bible would be acceptable. It is mandatory to establish for
Jews and Christians that (a) Hebrew was the language of the Old Testament,
especially Torah. Christians must establish the mother tongue of Jesus (what was his mother tongue) and the original language of NT.
·
Before
debate[s], parties agree to define and/or agree to certain terms, words,
idiomatic phrases, grammatical and/or verbal illustration, phraseology and/or
definitions etc, which would be used by the parties during debate.
·
One
topic would be debated at one time until its conclusion without any further
rebuttals.
·
Parties
agree to stick to the issue and present the evidence in support of their
claims, without giving a spin, without using diversionary tactic etc.
·
Before,
the debate, participant would address the audience stating their qualifications
about the subject matter of the debate, stating their core beliefs and why
they should be taken seriously, enabling them to qualify to speak/debate on
the subject matter. No one can qualify without presenting evidence of proper
knowledge through learning to speak on any subject, if they are not Muslims.
·
The
Glorious Qur’aan would decide the differences and/or contradictions and/or
distortion in the OT and NT.
·
There
is and never was an issue of defending Islaam, since Islaam does not need any defense. The burden of proof is always
on accuser and/or claimant. Therefore, after meeting the above requirements successfully,
accuser must present the supporting evidence, in case the parties agreed upon a
debate on certain topic/subject.
·
Before
the beginning of debate parties will announce their beliefs about the sources
of knowledge according to them and/or their belief.
·
NO
sources from outside source of topic would be allowed to be used, beside the
sources of natural origins of the subject of Debate.
·
In
case of Islaam is debated, no sources outside the Islaamic sources would be
used and no translations done by non-Muslims of Islaamic sources would be
accepted as authentic. And no non-Muslim sources would be used.
·
No
translations of Qur’aan and Hadeeth in English would be accepted as sole source
of debate, since they
are the word of man and not the word of Allaah and or His Messenger (SAW). The
translation would be allowed as mean of debate, but the point in dispute and/or
subject of debate must be proven and/or established through authentic sources
of Islaam and Arabic grammar (language). While final ruling would be from the collective belief of
majority of the faith in question subject to its laws.
·
In
case, one party in the debate is non-Muslim and other Muslim. Thus, the
non-Muslim would be obligated to provide the information about his/her core
belief, sect, denomination, scripture and its version, for the sole purpose of
a sense of reference for the other party. If the non-Muslim desire to debate Islaam and/or Islaamic
issue[s], he/she must provide his background of Islaamic knowledge and/or what
he/she has studied, how he/she has studied and he/she has sufficient knowledge
to debate on the subject matter.
·
The
ruling of authentic and credible scholars of Islaam and Judeo-Christian sources
would be acceptable as reference in the debate.
The public debate would
be video taped and open to media as well!
Looking forward to hearing from you in the
very future. To accept the challenge and further communication about debate and
