Please go to this site and vote for the Holy Prophet (SAWAWS)
>>>+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

>>>http://www.msnbc.com/modules/Millennium_People/MillP_ReligPhilos.asp
It is an NBC channel site. They are polling for the person who did the best
for mankind. Just click on the diamond next to his name, then on "vote."
You would be glad to learn that the Holy Prophet (PBUH) is at the top of the
list as ever... let's keep him at his rightful place, forever.
PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO AS MANY MUSLIMS AS YOU CAN!
Thanks.

I think we discussed this on the board before and agreed not to post these voting/survey type things. What do you all think?

I think such votes/surveys just demean the prophet saw. We should be following his sunnah example instead of "voting" for him on MSNBC.

I agree.  

From time to time well meaning brothers and sisters send a message
with a subject line similar to this one urging us to vote in some online
poll where Islam or Muslims are the subject of the poll.  The topics
vary are along the lines of:

- Should Kashmir be part of India or Pakistan
- Should Jerusalem be part of Isreal or Palestine
- Who is the most important figure (Prophet Muhammad (S)
 is one of the choices)
- Should US have bombed (insert Muslim country here)

We fall in the trap and get caught up in competing with the Indians,
Jews, Christians, (insert favorite competitor group's name here),
etc. in visiting the web site that is conducting the poll.  We feel
that by "wining" the poll we will actually make the desired outcome
happen.  Such polls are just gimmicks to increase the traffic on the
web site and nothing more.  Please don't get caught up in this.

Wassalam.

Assalam Alaikum,

You are both right. I should have thought of that myself. Thanks for correcting me.
