    Salaam K-S, the mafia bankers run the American government, this is absolutely without any doubt, they have through the power to print fiat paper debt certificates we perceive as money, enslaved humanity within a prison planet, this debt system is dying due to the nature of the fraud itself, the banksters control immigration to maintain division, inequity and nationalism all of which they use against the individual. As they create the debt of any loan through the power of the debtors signature, and nothing else in reality, is it theft, it is only what we perceive as theft because we value the fraud of debt certificates as money, if you do indeed perceive debt as money you would within your own mind be committing theft, and so could not take the credit. An alternative perspective could be the costs and losses incurred through the fraud of the banksters, from the installation of their systems of population control, this is then a justified and fair compensation of your personal loss, this of course would require you within your own mind to truly accept this as the case, you would then not be committing theft but recovering your losses.

    Heaven and Hell are real and material places, there is no place in the Quran where the 'afterlife' is described as spiritual or of this world. It is not an afterlife like it is portrayed in the media where you continue to exist after you die, it is another life very similar to this one where you become immortal. Between this life and the next is a period of unconsciousness called death. It is interesting to note that the Quran describes our start as dead then we became alive, not the other way around!! Yes, this is said in no uncertain terms 228 - How do you deny Allah and you were dead and He gave you life? Again He will cause you to die and again bring you to life, then you shall be brought back to Him.

    I see, this is insane also. Not all people are intelligent as you may think it, some are stubborn and stupid. The problem is not all know their religion correctly, they do what they inherited from their parents. I like it too, I spent last night discussing with a christian and an atheist about all that. Salam. I believe that all humans are intelligent but certain people decide to be arrogant and ignorant, God knows BEST. That's true, I agree. They have inherited things from the parents. I have read in the paper that Lindsay Lohan's father was wasted during the days when he had intercourse with his wife and this is why Lindsay is in such problems with illegal drugs now. I think the article said that both parents were high and she concieved all the illegal drugs as well. But it is true that people inherit also parents' religion. In some cases, of course. God Knows BEST. Glory be to God. Peace.

    So Jibreel, was afraid that God would make the wrong choice and Jibreel knew better? He is mistaken if he ask his immam he will tell you it is not the job of Jebreal but is Azrael in fact. Azrael is the name of the Archangel of Death in some extrabiblical traditions. He is also the angel of death in Islamic theology. It is an English form of the Arabic name Azra'il (&#1604 or Azra'eil (&#1604, the name traditionally attributed to the angel of death in Islam and Sikhism, as well as some Hebrew lore. The Qur'an never uses this name, referring instead to Malak al-Maut (which translates directly as angel of death). It is also spelled Izrail, Azrin, Izrael, Azriel, Azrail, Ezraeil, Azraille, Azryel, or Ozryel. Chambers English dictionary uses the spelling Azrael. The name literally means Whom God Helps.[

    salaam Alen. You know how sometimes you "randomly" open the Quran looking for a clue, and your eyes immediately fall on a relevant ayat? There's obviously no real equivalence, but something similar happened the other night with a map book. Liberia in west Africa is where my eyes landed. I'm not saying i received Guidance, or that Liberia is where we are going, but as a thought experiment it is rather interesting. Rather than imagining a scenario where we try to stay in the good graces of a strong central power, we can imagine a situation where a collaborating government gives us the freedom to mind our own affairs without extra-Quranic interference, and to live in the best possible harmony with our neighbors, striving to improve their lives as well as our own. We must always remember 248. We must always invite to the Truth.

    All this stuff is from Hadith Ssssssssss ask Mr. badar if you dont trust me D "Then whoever argues with you about it after knowledge has come to you - say, "Come, let us call our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves, then supplicate earnestly and invoke the curse of Allah upon the liars ." (361) This is not hadeeth.

    3159 It was a mercy from God that you were soft towards them; had you been harsh and mean hearted, they would have dispersed from you; so pardon them and ask forgiveness for them, and consult them in the matter; but when you are convinced, then put your trust in God; for God loves those who put their trust. Non-muslims should know/be aware/ponder/think/see that it is Allah SWT Who speaks in The Qur'an and Allah SWT tells him what to say and even tells us what he said back then and what to say now, subhanAllah. Furthermore and even better, Allah SWT here in chapter 3, verse 159 it is Allah SWT that informs us what prophet/messenger Muhammad did and even informs us what to do. SubhanAllah. God Bless you all.

    peace Layth, all, I noticed an error in 918 ...It is these that will be of the guided ones. Should be Then perhaps these that will be of the guided ones. Interestingly, this seemingly small error could have huge implications for Quranic understanding.

    I'm reading this currently and an interesting point was raised about sacrifice back in the day. For one, only animals that were bigger and bloodier were considered suitable for the gods/god. Wouldn't they prefer the blood of a virgin animal? I remember watching a tv show where they were practising voodoo and they cut a kitten's and puppy's throat and squeezed the blood out while they were alive '( And my mum said that when she was younger she saw some witches do the same thing to a lamb and they got a thrill from watching the poor animal run about uncontrollably with pain. Sorry to gross anyone out.

    Credits to our late John Lennon for Across The Universe... (and all praises to The One in the first place ) Superb description! Anyway, the thing is that truthful statements must be inherently sacred. For one, they may be reused indefinitely and they are TIMELESS. For two, every truthful word automatically demolishes an entire set of possible falsehoods (just as 2118!). There are an infinite amount of ways to get an exam wrong, but there is exactly ONE way to do it correctly! You cannot reasonably after having seen truth then say anything else! Language allows us as humans to be ENERGY EFFICIENT. Nature itself is not energy efficient in this particular sense - it's more of a case of throw everything you got and pick up what's left, then throw it again! Over 4 billion years, this inevitably created so many perfectly energy efficient life forms. However because of the miniscule amount of energy words consume, they are VERY powerful - it's like having a ?1 coin that can potentially get you a hundred houses. Words essentially perform the same function as a transistor - they amplify energy expenditure in a controlled manner. Of course this means that speaking falsehood will result in a lot of human energy going into destructive efforts, just as truth results in that energy going into good works. Very interesting view, OPF-- I found it not only inspiring but the timing is also perfect for my own situation atm. I'm tuning my language back in (to whatever life i want/able to create). Day in, day out. It's just that i was seeking for the bright blue sky while i was caving in the dark dungeons. And it has successfully gotten me nowhere. So basically now i'm on my way to integrating "language", "imagination", and "act" all together. Wonderful clues all around. An exciting year ahead.

    That "magic" phrase I think you are talking about is "hasbuna Allah wa niema Al Wakeel". It does work wonders. Talk about the power of the word; the wonders of the Quran exceeds all magic. That's the one!
