This is an Islamic forum and thus Islam will be respected. This means no slander against Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala), the Beloved Prophet Muhammad (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam), the Anbiya-e-kiram (Prophets) (Alaihi as-salaam), the Khulafaa-e-Rashideen (Rightly Guided Caliphs), the Ahl al-Bayt-e-Athaar (the Blessed Household of the Prophet Muhammad (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam), the Noble Companions - Shahaba-e-kiram (Ridwanallahi ta'ala alayhi m'ajmain) and the blessed Awliya-Allah (Saints). If you have an objection or opinion on Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) or the Most beloved Prophet ( Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam) etc, you have to present it in a reasonable fashion, with evidence to back up your argument.
