Why Trump dislikes the Muslims

The Republican candidate for the US Presidency Donald Trump dislikes the Muslims for 10 reasons. The Muslims are those who believe in Allah, His angels, His prophets, His Books, and the Last Day. while righteousness is one who believes in Allah, the Last Day, the angels, the Book, and the prophets and gives wealth, for love of Him, to relatives, orphans, the needy, the travelers, those who ask [for help], and for freeing slaves; [and who] establishes prayer and gives zakat (poor-tax); [those who] fulfill their promise when they promise; and [those who] are patient in poverty and hardship and during battle. Those are the ones who have been true, and it is those who are the righteous (Ref: Al-Quran, Surah Baqarah, Verse Nos. 177, 285).
Apart from above, Trump does not like Islam for the reasons being mentioned hereunder.
1. Allah enjoins justice, doing of good to others and giving to the kindred, 2. He forbids both hidden and apparent indecency, evil and rebellion without justice, 3. He has tagged the success of Namaj of a person with expressing humbleness to Him, feeding the hungry, clothing the clothless, sheltering the guests, and showing kindness to the poor, 4. The Prophet Muhammad (SM) said: Feed the hungry, serve the sick and release the (innocent) prisoners, 5. Islam does not back up accumulation of wealth in the hands of few at the cost of many. Islam does not endorse individual’s ownership of properties like mineral resources, rivers, grazing land, forest, graveyard, mosques, spring, canals, marsh and heavy industries, 6. The Prophet Muhammad (SM) has banned beating the wife, but right to divorce in the way prescribed by Allah, 7. He forbids advocacy in favour of treacherous and sinful, 8. Allah enjoins speaking of the truth though it may be against self, parents and near relatives, and 9. Allah has fixed the share of the poor in the wealth of the rich (called Zakat), and 10. Islam aims at establishing such a society where no man shall exploit another, and that justice will prevail everywhere.
Simply put, Islam doesn’t allow people like Trump grow up to rule a society based on inequality of power and wealth in any manner. That is the main reason why Trump dislikes Islam.
