    Selam guest I am not here to earn credibility or respect. I am not trying to sell anyone here anything which includes any theories. I am only pointing out that out of all the full moons you observe in a year there is a special one. Now try this test if you are truthful, observe all of them from now till october of next year and I will also, and we will talk again inshallah. But remember guest if you are convinced with your timing method/intepretation of the Quran etc then may Allah bless you and may Allah guide us on the right path. Peace Peace Like I said you guys are not serious in what you advocate! What is ?special one? mean. Is it not a subjective definition? You need to provide a clear cut definition and the necessary criteria to determine the ?special one? Don?t you know you cannot come to a definitive conclusion with a subjective concept? Haven?t you heard of the term ?beauty is in the eye of the beholder?? This is very flimsy approach. It is not recommended! You cannot ask me to gather evidence for your faulty proposition. It is your responsibility to validate your proposition with proper evidence. Once you present your evidence and if it has any merits then I can further validate your evidence. But I already have the scientific evidence to invalidate your proposition. Since you proposition is 100% dependent on seeing the clear marker, what do you do if you are unable to see the market due to clouds or some other problems? You don?t fast for that year right. This is absurd. Even more absurd is that you condemn calculation of moon?s phases which is so accurate and consistent with the Quran. Thus your premise is false!

    Dear Loxbox First let me tell you that I don't know so much about judaism and I only read the bible when I was a kid, don't remember much. I believe there are a lot of connections hidden from us. There are many signs and messages that we do not see, simply because we are looking down instead of around. I believe the prophets were not sent to us by God, but rather the prophets seeing the message as it was intended and thus being able to reach out and touch God. Maybe the prophets themselves didn't realize that it was THEM who gave this "power" to themselves, maybe they thought God had given it to them. Rashad Kahlifa said that we are temporary Gods or something similar (NO, I am not a 19ist). I think he did have a small point. If we were able to see the one message and the one true god we would, in fact, become part of God, we would become one with Him. If one was to recognise the (and I am not talking about man-made and corrupted parts) holy scriptures as the message of God, wouldn't alot of questions find their answers? Wouldn't we be able to differentiate between what is cult, rituals, customs and the message of God? Wouldn't the religious hatred between men not be recognised as what it really is, hatred towards difference in race, culture and traditions? I don't know.....the more I think about it, the more confused I get....probably because I don't know 2cents about the bible and torah. Must study.

    confession was created by men, i mean the church when they were ruling, u confess what you stole or what u did and they pick you up later, people were ignorant, it's like you steal now and they make you believe go to the police and confess so u be forgiven, church was smart agaist men, but they sinned big time in making themselves mediators to allah u confess your sins to allah and you repent and only him know if you're forgiven or not, confess to allah and repent with real sincerity he might forgive u , remember if you do bad to a person, it is this person who must forgive u , this is the justice of allah

    the story of Joseph never spoke about any faraon, the story of moses it did , between joseph and moses there's more than 400 years according to history, so the story of joseph could have happed in another city or country wich is or was close to the pharaons land, or before the pharaons maybe, i don't know, the jews tempered so much with the old covenant that u can't really know what was true and what was made up, i know the old covenant was written by 4 different tribes, u insult our prophet so we insult your prephet, that's how it was written and that's how we find a lot of thinigs that doesn't make sens, like prophets adulteres and incest and all, just like hadith , so if joseph wasn't in a pharos land as said in the quran, than i believe that he wasn't, the problem of archeologists is that most of them go do their research with christian truth in mind, and so do the archelogists jews, just like if a shi'a archelogist go for search, hel'll be looking for ali's cloths or hassan's killer or the sword of hussein or something like that, so does a sunni or a hindou, well, joseph's ruler's name was alazziz, i don't know if i'm right or wrong for i'm not a koran scholar, salam, peace

    Iqbal is the best articulated Muslim response to Modernity that the Islamic world has produced in the 20th century. Agree. Iqbal was a poet, nationalist, philosopher and Islamic scholar. He says Khudhi Ko Ker Buland Itna Ke Her Taqdeer Se Pehle, Khudaa Bande Se Khud Poochhe Bataa Teri Razaa Kya Hai Make self-hood so great, that, before every fate,G God himself asks the man, "tell , what is thy wish?" Yeh Zikr E Neem Shabi ye muraakbe ye suroor Teri Khudhi Ke Nigehbaan Nahi To Kuch Bhi Nahi these prayers of mid-night, those religious things, if they can not protect thy self-hood, than it's nothing. Khirad Ne Keh Bhi Diya La Ilah To Kya Haasil Dil-O-Nigaah Musalmaan Nahi To Kuch Bhi Nahi even if the intelligence had accepted the one true existence, than what gain? if heart and eyes has not accepted it, than it's nothing. Paani Paani Ker Gayi Mujh Ko Qalandar Ki Yeh Baat, "Tu Jhuka Jab Ghair Ke Agay Na Mun Tera Na Tan." These words of the dervish made me ashamed, "when you bowed before others, neither soul nor body remain yours." Thanks Wakas once again for highlighting a great Muslim a great Human. Yeah pehla Sabaq tha Kitaabe huda ka Kay sari makhlooq hay kunba khuda ka

    http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delusional_disorder I have to say reading this made me laugh rotfl. The indicators are spot on. I think you are right this person does seem a bit delusional. One of the quickest ways to disprove someone as a "divine messenger" is to get the views of that person on various things, and if you find a flaw in them, job done. I haven't looked that much into her messages and views to see if there are any flaws. However I have noticed that she can get angry easily with people who do not agree with her message. It seems to me she lacks the patience which you would find with ''divine messengers''.

    ok let's talk about the last two chapters of the Koran. here's my take on it. Sura 113 ayat 1 indicates what kind of refuge we are seeking. I seek refuge in my Lord who created or owner of dawn - 'morning' as the sun opens up. I seek my Lord - of that light that cuts through the clutter, evil and reaches something that is good. ayat 2 this verse is a general statement of what I am seeking refuge from. God did not create evil. He created things. And it is people's actions or interactions that create evil. And I seek refuge from harm of those creatures. ayat 3 is specific case of ayat #2. the last word in that aya 'wakab' can relate to society/mankind. Ignorance, denial, disbelief, desires can cloud our judgments. I seek refuge in God from the "evil that covers over". I seek refuge in God from those things that cloud my judgment. ayat 4 another specific case of ayat #2. can be taken in literal sense or idiomatic expression. "hookath" could also mean confusion. I seek refuge in God from people who increase my confusion or make me stay in that state of confusion. (I have never come across a sorcerer but am surrounded with people who can tie me up in knots so to speak and some do it quite well by using the Koran itself in increasing my confusion and trying to keep me in that state. I seek refuge in God from people like that). ayat 5 another specific case of ayat #2. it is not the jeolous people that I seek refuge from. It is the evil from the person who is jealous and act out on their feelings. Well, that's my take on Sura 113. When time allows will share my take on Sura 114. From my understanding, God doesn't tell me to seek refuge from for example a woman who said the jacket that I was trying looked good on me. God does tell me to seek refuge in Him from coworkers/friends/family especially and also strangers who might be envious of me and act on their feelings. from my understanding these can be the same thing. Energy is a very powerful thing, the entire universe is run on it including us. An action is not necessarily physical action. Sura 113 is a great chapter to recite first thing in the morning as I start my day. Yes, to guard you against seen and unseen and the ones who 'practice' envy. Envy is an emotion, not an action. Emotions can create very strong energy.

    This is a wrong interpretation... because there is enough proof in quran indicating that Jesus passed away... so it is not logical for Jesus to be a sign before the Hour unless you say he WAS a sign... However, the pronoun HU is being interpreted as referring to the Quran itself... Here is what M.Asad wrote in his interpretation of the verse. Whereas most of the commentators regard the pronoun hu in innahu as relating to Jesus and, consequently, interpret the above phrase as "he is indeed a means to know the Last Hour", some authorities - e.g., Qatadah, Al-Hasan al-Basri and Sa'id ibn Jubayr (all of them quoted by Tabari, Baghawi and Ibn Kathir) - relate the pronoun to the Qur'an, and understand the phrase in the sense adopted in my rendering. The specific mention of the Last Hour in the above context is meant to stress man's ultimate responsibility before the Creator and, therefore, the fact that worship is due to Him alone and so this parenthetic passage follows logically upon the mention of the false deification of Jesus. Peace Wrong according to some? Yet innahu still ends in a 3rd person masculine pronoun. There is nothing in the previous verses which suggests "man's ulimtate responsibility", what we read mainly is the "it/he" Jesus is mentioned, a sign is mentioned, the children of israel are mentioned, angels to earth are mentioned. Where is mankind mentioned?

    Peace, What about ? agree with wayfinder. The main bits or commandments from God are the same and the main commandment is 'thou shall have no other Gods but Me' and that is what all prophets and messengers have come to remind people about as human concept of God is difficult, they need something they can 'see' to worship which is why it doesnt take long for humanity to recreate some idol and say God is in that, or in him or whatever, they cannot focus on something they can't 'see'.
