    Cursed, condemned and distanced away have become those who fabricate and conjecture, Qatl does not mean that they have been murdered. Curse and Condemnation results in distancing away someone. Thanks for the aayat bro, I agree with you on red highlighted part that it is clear in 5110 that it does not mean killed or murdered. But the blue part is not clear enough for me to understand the same meaning as you do. InshaAllah, I will keep this meaning in mind and look for other aayaats and see if it fits. If you find any clear aayat please do post here. May Allah guide us all to His true path pr Mohammed M. Khan

    Millat is the singular for Mawali 5 - I feared the militants after me ... 33 - To all we made kins for what left the heirs and kin... it has the meaning of FAMILY , KIN, KIND etc... To me the closest is Militant or Party when it is global, as followers, like in the case of Ibraheem Both these words have no relationship with each other. They emanate from different Roots.

    I suggest you to take some readings from www.al-quran.info There are lots of translations there. If you became familiar with site, you may see that it is very useful while reading some verses from different translations in same time. I can't point you to a regular translation but you can collect a group for comparing in time, then select a small group for yourself to interest at last. At least, I can suggest you to check for translations of the verse 319. Some may keep the word "Islam" as in Arabic. This is wrong. A true translation must translate every word which has a meaning and which is not a regular word. This verse may give a clue about point of view of translator. But it doesn't mean that translation's correction ratio is better than others. This verse should sound like "System of Life approved by God is submission to His will" rather than "True religion is Islam in God's sight" Hope it helps. Regards.

    Salaam bro, "Aakhar" does not mean "Last" but it means "Next". "Aakhirat" = Next life If you say 'huwal awwalu wal aakhiru' means 'He is the first and the last' then who are in between first and last? It means He is the first and the next. Please look at 174-7, the word used is AlAakhirati in 17712 May Allah increase us all in knowledge and guide us all to His true path. pr Mohammed M. Khan Akhir = Next Akhar = Other Akheer = Last is last isn't Akhir , than how to say Last in arab ??? Khatem = Seal or Ring and not last, Khatama aala afwahihim = Sealed their mouths Good talking to u bro

    Peace all, I'm a moslem and believe that the Quran, Torah and Injeel are the Books of Allah and are protected equally by God. Moreover, I believe that God only protected the Books in their original languages (Arabic, Aramaic and Hebrew), and not the translations. No one can deny that the Quran has been translated to different languages and most, if not all, are corrupted. The same with the Torah and Injeel. Peace

    Again you are impressed by media hyped Gandhi, those who worked with him will tell you how he stole the show, ask Herijaans(untouchable of India) about it. Why not look at living examples like Nelson Mendalla or Edhi of Edhi foundations ! Ok, think of the media hyped Gandhi, that is the kind of imam I like, are we happy now? What do you mean "again"?

    Do not be afraid of the word "chakra" if you don't like it, all I mean is a centre of experience. In my investigations the heart chakra is basically the central axis of symmetry through which ALLAH's grace flows through the body. A blocked heart chakra will prevent knowledge of the higher aspects of your consciousness from flowing in because they encounter a counterbalancing force arising from the unfulfilled lower centres. When the heart chakra is unblocked, sexual energy is no longer confined to be assigned to the eye that wanders and transgresses, it may be channeled straight to ALLAH to whom all praise is due. As a result of the eye no longer wandering and wavering, impure thoughts may slowly be removed. The sexual center is connected to the speech center and the speech center goes two ways - the higher merciful/compassionate reasoning/knowingness of the forebrain and the lower swearing/rage/fear/hate primal reptilian center driven by the amygdala. Now the heart is mediated by the breath and the breath is connected to everything on earth, for it is one breath. With each breath you take, you purchase time to produce judgements/process observations, and these can either be goodly judgements, impure judgements, evil judgements. When evil judgements and impure judgements remove their hold, all that remains is the judgement of ALLAH almighty, HSN. Any resistance you have to the judgement of ALLAH supreme comes from holding impure/evil energies in your heart (aka "rust&quot. Peace

    Perhaps somewhat related A few days ago I walked through central stockholm, and saw a rolling LED sign on a storefront that had some monotheistic truth programmed. I noticed that it said "...ALLAH...WORSHIP THE CREATOR NOT CREATION" Usually I try to zone out billboards and adverts in the city, but this caught my attention. I wanted to see more, but was instead assaulted by sales messages for telephone subscriptions. I felt upset and violated. I don't think the owner/programmer of the sign had bad intentions, but for me it felt bad - God's name caught my attention, and then it turned out someone wanted me to buy something. I don't think God should have to share space with commercial advertising. 2115 And to All?h belong the east and the west, so wherever you turn yourselves or your faces there is the Face of All?h (and He is High above, over His Throne).

    Salaam Producer, If you are thinking of the Bible as it is, then I am probably disobeying much of it. Why? Well, here is the truth. The word "Bible" is not mentioned in the Noble Qur'an. What Noble Qur'an mentions is The Book of Abraham (no where found in today's Bible), the Book of Moses or Taurat (which is not the 39 books of today's Old Testament and they are NOT the first five of them called Pentateuch as those have more than one written source), Zabur of David pbuh (In the Old Testament of the Bible, there are Five Books of Psalms comprising of 150 Psalms. Out of these 150, a total of 73 Psalms are ascribed to Prophet David; 51 to anonymous writers, 12 to Asaph or his descendants; 9 to the sons of Korah -temple assistants; 2 to King Solomon and one each to Heman, Ethan (a musician) and Prophet Moses. Injeel/Gospel revealed to Jesus pbuh (which is different from the Gospels from the four apostles because Injeel confirmed Taurat and I already mentioned that Taurat is not all that is written in today's Old Testament) The Revelations to other prophets as stated in this ayat "Say ye "We believe in Allah and the revelation given to us and to Abraham, Ismai'l, Isaac, Jacob and the Tribes and that given to Moses and Jesus and that given to (all) Prophets from their Lord we make no difference between one and another of them and we bow to Allah (in Islam)." 2 136. Today's Bible has no books ascribed to Ismai'l, Isaac, Jacob or the Tribes. The Noble Qur'an Revelation. The Holy Qur'an states "But because of their breach of their Covenant We cursed them and made their hearts grow hard they change the words from their (right) places and forget a good part of the Message that was sent them nor wilt thou cease to find them barring a few ever bent on (new) deceits but forgive them and overlook (their misdeeds) for Allah loveth those who are kind." 5 13

    Peace loxbox13, Use context and cross-reference before posting incorrehent thoughts. 3876 said I am better from him/it You created me from fire and created him/it from clay 26115 indeed I am only a warner clear That's pompous Arab nonsense similar to how some Albanians refer to Illyrian being oldest and we joke that our language is so old that it was the same language that Adam spoke. http//albania.shqiperia.com/foto/Image/language/indoeuropian_language_tree_small.jpg Arabic in Qur'an is a translation of the languages spoken and uses borrowed words; examples... the Romans -- borrowed, no Romans until much later in history. 1220 and they sold him for a price cheap dirhams (coins used at time of revelation) few 1221 and said the one who bought him from Egypt to his woman/wife Taken from Greek drachma which did not exist in ancient Egypt (i.e. Mi'ra) another borrowed word. Amarna letters/tablets (1350s ? 1330s BCE) http//www.specialtyinterests.net/eae.html Rib Addi to a chief EA#95 vd(53) mentions Aman and Baalat of Gubla; mentions houses, Amri, Adi-, king of Mt, Ami; says `Let g (sar) of Eypt (Miisri) sen hs deputy to me' I don't agree with u in many things u said for a few reasons, we all know that hsitory was written by the winners, so we never get the true history no matter who wins in the past the Romains existed in the time of the quran, the reason u say it is borrowed, is this, the quran came WAY later than 1400 years ago, Some say the Quran came macimum 400 years ago, how about that ? doesn't make sense heh ? just because we been told by everybody that the quran came 1400 years ago, that we take it as 100% true, even though, those who said the quran was 1400 years ago are the ones who wrote the HADITH books and history books, the frensh and british , in the 18th century when they dominated the world, people can't see it, but SATAN is capable of delluding us in every way posght sible ANA , or IAM I don't believe it's a name of Allah at All, I just said where they brought it from, and i ddn't thing like albanians, for i am not an arab at all to boast with arab language, but this is how i seen it , unles arab language if the quran is the opposite, it is or the original languge of all languages, or it is a language made up by maby languages i give u exemples of phonetic sounds ASATIRE Sounds to me like HISTORY DAKKAN sounds to me as dunking SABR sounds like SOBER trust me, the meanings of the arabic modern language is altered, that is why we're lost when we try to understand the quran using the arabic language of dictionnaries, all made when muslims were colonised, u have to read the history of the 19th century , how in the fortys all muslims became poor, ignorent analphabets etc... how they came up with all the rules f the language ? u believe the books survived ? I don't think so , people were garding the quran by memory , in my country, they burned every book of the quran or arabic language in the 19th century, some books survived because they were burried under the ground, and to tell u about one quran book, I seen with my eyes, the letter FA , or F , is written without a DOT, and the QA that is written tlike the FA, is written with one DOT under, and the NOON is upside down and without DOT, who changed it ? when ? no one knows , and this means something is fishing

    And when you know it all, you also know nothing. I mean there is a lot of people out there who don`t even believe in God, but that still is God. All will is the eternal will. also see http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9603052.msg286076#msg286076
