General Issues / Questions

It tells to fulfill contracts obviously. That's one of the Natural Law's fundamental rule, " Do all you have agreed to do " But do people today know how to do contracts? I doubt it. If you have more questions, read every article on servantofthelight, you'll definitely know. I can't explain for a short time and I can't waste more especially when you're fully capable of reading the site's articles, also I don't know english enough so I don't know which words to use. Yeah oh and I looked up the meaning of "terms of service" and it seems its called a "Set of rules" and not a contract. Contract An agreement before engaging in an affair where both benefit from. Terms of Service Rules that are told to you that you must agree on. And as we know, rules aren't something we are told to hold uphold.

No, it is not true. The man (whom the Quran refers to as "Zayd&quot had divorced his wife of his own free will. But it seems Muhammad (P) was reluctant to marry her afterwards, because he was concerned with what some of his slandering COMPANIONS around him would say. So he hid his true feelings for her, and even tried to convince this "Zayd" not to let go of her. It was a kind of sacrifice he made, for purely social reasons, proving that Muhammad was, after all, a human, prone to such emotions and fears. {And you said to the one who was blessed by Allah, and blessed by you "Keep your wife and be mindfull of Allah, and you hid inside yourself what Allah wished to proclaim. And you were concerned with the people, while Allah was more deserving that you be concerned with. So when Zayd ended his relationship with her, We had you marry her, to establish that there is no wrongdoing for the believers in marrying the wives of their adopted sons if their relationship is ended. And the command of Allah is always done}... As you can see, Zayd and his wife were not on good terms to begin with. There was no foul play by Muhammad, if that's what you're inferring. Allah is reprimanding Muhammad for hiding his feelings and being too concerned with what PEOPLE might say, whereas he should be more concerned with following Allah's path. This is a lesson to all of us As long as you are not doing anything wrong, and your concience is clear, then who cares what the PEOPLE think! So Muhammad eventually married her, and set an example for every one There is nothing wrong with marrying the wife of your adopted son, if they divorce. This proves two things 1- Adoption is permitted in Islam (in spite of what the Mullahs claim) 2- Muhammad was not infallible, and was prone to human emotions and fears (in spite of what the Mullahs claim). Peace.

Peace back to everyone who said peace, i think "God is my Judge" would be "Allahu Hakim Ly" or "Allahu Qadi ly"

Peace to everyone who said peace, The Quran is fully detailed 6114 The Quran is not missing anything 638 The Quran explains everything 12111 why do we need Bukhari and Muslim who compiled their work 200+ after the Prophet died for ? are they going to perfect God's perfected religion? 53

Thanks for the reply there. I do have a social life too, but by video games I meant this is what I do at night particularly XD during the day I am with friends and having fun too ) Regardless, so you don't see the tax system as charity. May I ask why on that end? Otherwise yeah I agree about every time I get paid I should give what I feel is right to charity.

Seems it's main tenants and philosophy is generally "Islamic" yet it's fatal flaw is it is godless and lacks the qualities of Righteousness (God Consciousness) in it's actions. From quickly browsing the site itself it seems to promote the absence of God replacing Him with "energy sources" and the idolization of one's own perceived will power akin to the idolatrous concepts of The Secret. Well, I don't see it as a system or set of anything. I just see that there are ways of behaving that are exactly what Allah ordains in the quran... so God has sent wisdom all over the world. I don't think there is a fatal flaw of godlessness, since having faith in God or not is something in the heart of each person... and is not something of a system... except empty words or instructions. Islam can also be godless, irrational and materialistic aswell... if the people who call themselves muslims are like that. It depends on the people. It is possible to recognize goodness in anything... if you know what it looks like. God is indeed great, beyond our comprehension.

I don't think he meant it literally. Here in Egypt, when people are going to Mecca, it's normal to joke, "I will say hello to the Kaaba for you," or "I will kiss the kaaba for you." It doesn't mean anything! Glad to see Egyptians have a sense of humor. I wish them all the best

I definitely agree that there are different levels of belief. For me I have always believed in God but not necessarily an afterlife which is something I really struggled with for a long time but I am able to accept it more now. I just look at how the world/nature works and is able to repair itself and believe that there has to be something greater behind it.

Does the word Jihad not literally translate to 'struggle'? Yes in a way, it can also meant as "Taking the hard path", "Bearing the extra burden".. Those acts requires perseverance / endurance, sacrifice / unselfishness and sabr... And those who are willing to do so / possess such traits are being called "Juhd". Why should Moses bother to face the Pharaoh and free the Israelite when he can live the easy and peaceful life in Midian.. he's taking the hard path.. Why should Jesus bother to face the highly organized and highly corrupted Jewish rabbis and king when he can live the easy and peaceful life as carpenter.. he's taking the hard path.. Why should Abraham bother to challenge the mindset of his own society when he can live the easy and peaceful life by just shutting his mouth up... he's taking the hard path.. Salam / Peace

Thank you for making youtube videos. Making intro videos would be an idea. May the Lord God Almighty Support us.

Peace be to you as well! Everyone gets requited for EXACTLY what they did, unless of course your works are nullified. 7 "Hells", 2 Heavens, and a "Purgatory" http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9603259.0

Are you serious? I would say blowing up schools, especially girls' schools in Afghanistan because you disagree with co-education is an act of terrorism. They are proud of the things they have done and have spoken about it. They oppress anyone who does not think like they do. Do you honestly think they would welcome you with open arms? To them you are a Kufr, nothing more, nothing less. To me, they are cowards and it is sad too many people have died because of them. I am not condoning U.S. behavior either, trust me those bastards that hurt the children. I don't want to hear.. oh the poor guy was stressed. Sorry Excuse! They should have removed him from duty as soon as they saw signs. Now, he should be tried in Afghanistan and let the people there make the judgement. Could this be the (Unseen) Face of the Next First Lady of Egypt? Could this Niqab-donning conservative wife, mother and grandma be the next 'face' of Egypt's First Lady? With her husband Khairat al-Shater claiming his position in the presidential race, anything is possible.http//cdnlive.albawaba.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/KeepAsIs//sites/default/files/im/AR_BTN/Azza-Khairat-Al-Shater-Wife-Egypt.JPG http//www.albawaba.com/behind-news/azza-tewfik-face-first-lady-egypt-419719

Muhammad (AS) is the Final Messenger and the Final Prophet Is a Nabi and a Rasool Different? What is a Nabi and Babuwwat? The word Nabi is from the trilateral root which means, he informed or he gave news or information of. It also means Information or announcement. Surah Al-'A`rf verse 175 says that 7175 And recite to them, , the NEWS of him to whom we gave Our signs, but he detached himself from them; so Satan pursued him, and he became of the deviators. Raghib says that although it is synonym with news but it signifies, ?an announcement of great utility, from which results either knowledge or a predominance of opinion, and true,? 782 About the great news Nabi (&#1613 means a prophet, one who acquaints or informs mankind or who is acquitted or informed, respecting God or things unseen What is a Rasool and Rasalat? The trilateral root for rasool is The triliteral root r sn lm. Rasil means He (a camel) was, or became, easy in pace. means he brought a message. Whereas , signifies the bringing a message. means, One who has a message; i. e. a messenger . The plural of is and (S, Msb) and is applied without variation to a male and a female, and to one and to a plural number as in 2616 (Verily 'We are the messengers of the Lord of the worlds) and in 2047 (Verily we are the two messengers of your Lord]; the dual form being here used The saying in the 25.37 (And the people of Noah - when they denied the messengers, We drowned them) Ez-Zejjaj, says, may mean that they charged with lying Noah alone; for he who charges with lying a prophet charges therewith all the prophets, since they believe in God and in all his messengers Rasalat and signify the same, that is A message; and a letter; a communication sent from one person or party to another, oral or written The same word also signifies, a tract, or small treatise or discourse; a i. e. book, or writing, relating to science, or on any subject, comprising a few questions, inquiries, or problems, of one kind The plural for it is . It also means messengership; the messenger?s office or function as in 779 (O my people, I had certainly conveyed to you the message of my Lord and advised you, but you do not like advisors) Is a Nabi and a Rasool Different? Quran?s Answer is No 4163 Indeed, We have revealed to you, , as We revealed to Noah and the prophets after him. And we revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, the Descendants, Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon, and to David We gave the book. 4164 And messengers about whom We have related to you before and messengers about whom We have not related to you. And Allah spoke to Moses with speech. The above verse starts with Hurfe Taukeeedin wa nasbin, ?Inna? emphasizing, ?Indeed? for the revelations by Allah to the Prophet Muhammad (AS) as (&#1575 revelations were sent to the prophets, Ibrahim, Ismael, Ishaq, Yaqoob and the Isbat (descendants of Yaqoob, which is also a term used for Bani-Israel, which also include Yousef). In addition to that same revelations were also sent to the prophets Eesa, Ayyub, Yonus, Haroon and Suleman. So until this point of the verse under consideration it comes out as a undeniable evidence that same revelations were sent to all messengers or prophets. The last phrase states that Daud was given the book which is erroneously translated as Zabur since here is used as a common noun so must be translated as a book. (1) It should be further noted that since is in accusative case and also due to the fact that all prophets mentioned in this verse (also including those who were the descendants of Yaqoob but are not mentioned here by name) were given the revelation in the form of the book just like the prophet Muhammad (AS). (2) The verse immediately after this verse (4164) further widens the domain of prophets by saying that, ?And messengers about whom We have related to you before and messengers about whom We have not related to you.? Thus a simple conclusion from the two verses together is that all the messengers (rasool) were given the message (revelations) in the form of a book. Another evident conclusion from above is that all the messengers were always given the same or similar message or revelations. (3) Another important fact evident from the above two verses is that the plural word in 416e, which had been mentioned to receive revelations, is substituted by the plural word . This substitution confirms without doubt that (a) all the messengers were also given the same revelations and books as were the prophets (b) if all messengers and prophets were given the same or similar revelations. It also means that all the Rasools are Nabi as well. This will be further strengthened with more arguments below. Some Characteristics of a Nabi and Rasool (1) They are always a nabi and a rasool at the same time 1951, 1954 4163 and 4164 as well as 2213 and 5725 (2) Every Rasool is born as a Nabi 1951, 1954, 1930 (Easa), 339 (Yahya), 126 and 689 (Yousuf) (3) Nabi is the designation and thus is a person chosen to bring the news of unseen (Ref ). Every one of them is then given assignment of messengership (rasalat) when he reaches full maturity 1222 (Yousuf), 2814 and 2621 and 287 (Moosa), 2171-74 (Loot), 2179 (Suleman and Daud) (4) They are a witness for his Ummah (5) They are truthful 1941 and 1956 (6) They are from righteous as in 2130, 339, 683-85, 37112 (7) They are preferred over the words ( &#1614 683-86 (8.) They are chosen and guided to the straight path ( &#1613 683-88 (9) They do not mix their beliefs with injustice 682-6-87 (10) They do not associate anyone with Allah 683-88 (11) They are all given the book ( ) and authority (&#1614 and Prophethood (&#1614 (12) They are the examples and are required to be followed as an example by all 690 (13) They are chosen by Allah 687, 126, 162, 16121, 1958, 20122 and 6850 (14) They are all human beings 3,39 and 3615 (15) They only deliver the message of Allah 592, 1682, 2454 and 6412 (Muhammad), 2918 (Ibrahim) 1635 and 3617 (All messengers) (16) They are all made leaders by Allah 2169-73 (Ibrahim, Loot, Ishaq and Yaqoob) 3224 (Prophets of Bani Israel) (17) We must believe in the Allah as well as the prophets 648 (1 All of them carried exactly the same message (19) Certain messengers were given some additional specific attributes as required by the environment 2253 and 1755 (20) Otherwise, Allah makes no distinction among them as far as submission to the Allah and the message is concerned nor we should 384 Further Evidence from Quran that A Nabi is also a Rasool 1951 And mention in the Book, Moses. Indeed, he was chosen, and he was a messenger and a prophet. 1954 And mention in the Book, Ishmael. Indeed, he was true to his promise, and he was a messenger and a prophet. We can again see the evidence here that Ismael in 1954 is mentioned as a messenger and a prophet at the same time. If we look back in 4163, his name is directly mentioned. We can also see that the name of Moosa is also mentioned in 1951 as a messenger and a prophet. He is indirectly included in 4163 as he is in the descendants of yaqoob (Yousef (AS) who was the sun of Yaqoob moved to Egypt and along with him moved the Bani-Israel, Moosa (AS) is among ?the descendants? of Yaqoob or . Conclusive Evidence "All Prophets Came with the Books" 2213 Mankind was one community ; then Allah sent the PROPHETS as bringers of good tidings and warners AND sent down with them the BOOK in truth to judge between the people concerning that in which they differed. And none differed over the Scripture except those who were given it - after the clear proofs came to them - out of jealous animosity among themselves. And Allah guided those who believed to the truth concerning that over which they had differed, by His permission. And Allah guides whom He wills to a straight path. All Messengers Alos with the Books 5725 We have already sent OUR MESSENGERS with clear evidences AND SENT DOWN WITH THEM THE BOOK and the balance that the people may maintain in justice. And We sent down iron, wherein is great military might and benefits for the people, and so that Allah may make evident those who support Him and His messengers unseen. Indeed, Allah is Powerful and Exalted in Might. Muhammad (AS) is the Final Messenger and the Final Prophet 616 And when Jesus, the son of Mary, said, "O children of Israel, indeed I am the messenger of Allah to you confirming what came before me of the Torah and bringing good tidings of A MESSENGER to come after me, whose name is Ahmad." But when he came to them with clear evidences, they said, "This is obvious magic." The above verse provides yet another clear evidence that only ?one messenger? has been predicted to come after Easa (AS). 3340 Muhammad is not the father of one of your men, but the Messenger of Allah and seal of the prophets. And ever is Allah, of all things, Knowing. Since is in accusative case (mansoob) and motoofun ala , which is itself in accusative case in the above verse therefore, the correct translation of the above verse is as follows Muhammad is not the father of one of your men, but the last Messenger of Allah and seal of the prophets. And ever is Allah, of all things, Knowing. It is therefore, one more conclusive evidence that there can no nabi and no rasool to come after Muhammad (AS). The only difference in a Nabi and Rasool is that All are born as NABI and chosen by Allah, When they get fully matured (mentally) then they are gievn the assignment of Rasalat (messengership). For references see above.

Congrats! Many happy years!

well another word would be ALLAH In some cases it's Allahu in others it is Allahi in others it is Allaha Also, the word shaytan is a cognate of the Hebrew Ha-satan which i think means Accusser or adversary. Thus the Shaytan can be a title to Iblis, he is THE Shaytan, or to say, the Real Adversary to Mankind.

Peace and salutations to all Does anyone have any idea what the days of the week used to be called during the time that the Quran was revealed?? I'm sure they had a 7-day week system, as we all do know, but what names did the Arabs give each of these 7 days? I mean if we could actually prove that there was no such name as "jumu3a" back then, the whole theory of Friday prayer will go straight down the drain.. the two names that are fabricated for religious purposes are Friday and saturday, called JUMAA and SABT JUMUAA in the quran, means CONGRESS , JAMAA = Cngregation, it is a meeting in the SENAT , a State affair and not individuals SABT = Pause or Rest , the word is used as SOUBAT means pause or sleep or stop etc .. Sunday is the first day called AHAD , than Ithneyn, Thatath, Roubaa , Khamiss, Sudais, Usbouaa the week is called Shaf'a the Shaf'a (week, semaine et .) is 7 days, and Witr (Three, Trois etc.. ) is 3 days Shaf'a and witr are layali 10 , of the hajj check sourah Fajr 1 2 3 check the hajj SAWM , 3 days than 7 when gone back sourah2 196

The author of the website I posted above regards Allah ( who is not god ) as the single consciousness that manifests all creation instant by instant, and doesn't associate Allah with nature, so it's not always how you think. I guess one can also argue what 'god' means... and there will be lots and lots of interpretations. I think there are many schools of thought who have "caught a glimpse" of Allah through their theories and understanding. Some people say our sub-conscious minds are "small" holographic fragments of the big universal consciousness. From this comes all creation. So one can see this as a way in which we are connected to Allah... There is a chance that one may increase in understanding and get a more and more accurate picture of reality... peace!

Shalom aleikhem SoA, I am great by TheCreator's grace, thanks. D How about you? Long time... Interesting! Then how about 26-7 and 4137? 26 26 Indeed those who don't believe, whether you warn them or do not warn them, they will not believe. 27 27 God has put Khatama on their hearts and their ears, and over their eyes are covers. They will incur a great retribution. Those who are Khafir, Allah has put Khatama on their Qalb. Till when? If you take it sealed, the same question till when? Please take a look at 4137 for the answer. 4137 4137 Those who believed, then rejected, then believed, then rejected, then they increased in rejection; God was not to forgive them nor to guide them to the path. Where is the permanent seal here? These are those who became Kaafir, as per 27 there is a Khatama put on their qalb when they become Kaafir, then how can they become Believer again? Khatama is a temporary seal that can be broken? May Allah increase us in knowledge and guide us to His true path pr mmKhan Shalom Aleikhem, Praise to God, I am ok. ) Was busy, still busy. Unless there is a "but", it is permanent. In other words, the order holds until further notice or stated otherwise. Like unforgivable sins... when someone changes their innerself, God is their forgiver. So the seal on hearts issue has stated terms and conditions. It can not be compared to the seal of prophets. I hope you get what I am trying to say. ) Peace be on you ------------------------ Student of Allah
