Peace Reel I don't understand where you got this technique from? It seems like something spiritual or new ageish? I just took the verses about fasting and experimented with them by subtracting all that we were told in sects. Whatever God tells us to do in Quran always gives visible results. Quranic fasting seems to open the door to another reality of ours. Ironically, you will not go very far if you abstain from eating and drinking. New age might have similar stuffs but their explanations are not without distortion and disagreements. Their blocks come from subtraction of God. In Quran these issues are corrected. I guess thats why we have verses like this Say, "If mankind and the jinn gathered in order to produce the like of this Qur'an, they could not produce the like of it, even if they were to each other assistants." 1113 Peace

Learn everything there is to know and practise about the subject you want to teach to others. Increase in effort, knowledge and experience about the subject will increase the teaching ability and skills of that subject. Of course loyalty accountability, care and love for the people and the job will become the key to succeed and staying longer doing that job. Best of luck. GOD bless you. Peace.

@ Jafaar... Did God say He created everything like you mean. .He created wgat He created.. He is not responsible if you create a mess... I can bring many verses like above to nullify you and your hypocrocy... Since by the word "God" here I refer to "The Infinite Creator" that "Create All Things" then yes he created all things. Or by the word "God" here you refer to 'something else' that do NOT create all things? The human conception of "Responsibility" is irrelevant for God given that He IS. Who would God be responsible to? A God that did not create everything and a God that is 'responsible' is only relevant within the context of "there are many gods". But it will make the meanings of the word "God" deviate from the one described above, "The Infinite Creator" that "Create All Things". Let's use the word 'deity' for that to easily differentiate the meanings. Within "Many Gods/Deities" context, it's believed that a deity 'created' some things while some other things created by other deities. As thus deities fought each others as sometimes their creation is not aligned with creation from other deities. When deities fought each others they usually enlisted the help of their creations to fight each others too, thus the 'conception' of fighting for the deities or fighting on the side of specific deity against other deity / deities was invented. Within "Many Gods/Deities" context, a deity that is jealous of other's deity will also make sense. And a deity can become angry when somebody left his group and join another group to help another deity instead. The view of "Many Gods/Deities" were very popular in the past and it's legacy can still be recognized easily even today. Since I'm not subscribing to those "Many Gods/Deities" concept and to me God is The Infinite, has no border in any dimension, including space and time and thus there could only one that exist and it exist in unity with all things and definitely created all the things. As thus even when "Deity" as defined above exist, then those deities are still among the creation of the one that is infinite, the creator of all the things. With such clear definition of the word "God" then yes in this universe God create everything in pair of opposite polarities. There's love and hatred, good and evil, light and darkness, fear and courage, angel and demon, truth and falsehood, pride and humility up to the molecular things like electron - positron and matter - anti matter. The evidence for that is can be easily seen on this universe itself. All of those that exist are created by God. The objective is that it can then be recognized as without it's opposing pair it will be hard to recognize. It's hard to recognize light when everything is light and darkness does not exist. It's hard to recognize love when everyone is loving and hatred does not exist. It's hard to recognize humility when everyone is humble and pride does not exist. etc.. Yet with the presence of darkness, the light can be easily recognized. With the presence of it's opposite the IS can be easily recognized.

A translation of the Quran 981 Those who have remained are happy with their position of lagging behind the messenger of God, and they disliked striving with their money and lives in the cause of God; and they say "Do not mobilize in the heat." Say "The fire of Hell is much hotter," if they could only understand. So the restricted months were in the summer. Now we only have to know if they start in the end of spring or end in fall. How is this related to the restricted months?

the discord link isnt working. love the idea though https//discord.gg/QyzahcCHNb D

Jews aren't a criteria for Muslims. It doesn't matter what they do. Torah is a false scripture. It teaches blasphemy towards Allah and malicious slander against the messengers and prophets. 547 And let the people of the Gospel judge with what God has sent down in it. And whoever does not judge with what God has sent down, then these are the wicked. 2946 And do not argue with the people of the Book except in that which is better; except for those who are wicked among them; and say "We believe in what was revealed to us and in what was revealed to you, and our god and your god is the same; to Him we submit."

Salam all, One verse that is related to the topic under discussion "And I do not make myself free of blame, for the self is inclined to sin, except that which my Lord has mercy upon. My Lord is Forgiving, Merciful." For those who are no longer inclined to sin, good news as that is a sign that God has mercy upon you! sun Wassalam

The best samples du’a in Al Quran use the pronoun of YOU in their du’a to God, as they talk directly to Him. Mary seek refuge in God by saying “in Al Rahman” because she talked to the Holy Spirit (191. Musa seek refuge in God by saying “in Allah” because he talked to his people (267). So, swear in the Name of God, if you don’t use the pronoun of YOU in your du’a to God. If you use the pronoun of YOU in your du’a to God, then why you don’t use the same way when seeking refuge in God before reciting Al Quran, while God had given clear example in 2397-98? Is that what you call yourself as a believer? What a failed product! This proves that you and all traditional Muslims in the world, only follow blindly the imams without using your mind. You and your imams don't know what you are saying, but think that you are guided (4336-37). You are just wasting my time but I got nothing from you, except knowing you better as an arrogant with lack of mind. You are entirely lost in your frame of thoughts... You are literally saying to everyone NOT TO CALL YAA ALLAH or O! ALLAH / GOD .. YA RABB etc etc..... People in general do start their duas Calling God as YA ALLAH... then they may definitely say the pronoun YOU referring GOD.. Suppose one make a dua in seclusion .. YA ALLAH forgive me.. I believe in YOU .. i keep my full trust only in YOU.. I seek refuge in MY LORD so that satan never near me.. You don't want to talk about clear verses just to sooth your whim.. 1141 clearly state SAY.. and then I Seek refuge in the Lord of Naas... God orders to say and that is a complete dua from God to human being and Jinn which start "I seek refuge in the Lord of Naas, Malik of Naas...... ... " you say don't seek refuge in God calling Him God or Lord or His Names, but you want everyone to call him YOU... that's your personal volition... God orders to call him by his beautiful names 17110-111... Can we say Alhamdulillha which literally the closest meaning perhaps "All the praises to God/Allah".. why say alhamdulillah instead one can say "all the praises to YOU"... while God orders to say in 17111 Alhamdulillah... Calling God with Pronoun YOU is not an issue, but avoiding calling the Creator by his possible names as Allah or Arrahman or Rab etc etc according to languages in dua/supplications is pointless... Call him Allah in dua.. what harm? Ya Allah! I seek refuge in YOU or I seek refuge in the ONE who created me... just ponder rather than wasting our time... but i will in sha allah keep responding until the claim is rationalized by the one who raised it.. handshake

Sectarian al-Albaani That the purpose of marriage is repose as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning) “And among His Signs is this, that He created for you wives from among yourselves, that you may find repose in them, and He has put between you affection and mercy. Verily, in that are indeed signs for a people who reflect” . But this is not achieved in this kind of marriage. https//islamqa.info/en/answers/82390/misyaar-marriage-definition-and-rulings A friend of mine is the one who asked me that he wants this type of marriage because he cannot afford all the financial rights that comes with normal marriage. He was asking me what I think and I told him it's not permitted and he told me why its not permitted and I didn't have the answer. I don't think there is a family who will accept this. I think most of the women accept this are those who are divorced and living independently from their family and don't want to have unlawful sex. He is in Saudi Arabia and he tells me many Saudis do this. God bless He should marry someone who understands his situation and might even agree to contribute financially.

He needs to define what karma is. Same is needed for "circumstances of birth". I can be wrong but in my view, he is talking about the formula governing this world. Quran gives us guidance on how to navigate through it. I cant see anything more.

Peace Never assume anything unless you are certain. Suspicion is a bad trait. If people say they hate Islam ,they must have their own reasons ,as long as it is not said to you specifically and directly ,why bother yourself with doubts and suspicions? Suspicion,anger, doubts,biases,...are bad traits and anything that stirs the balance of a peaceful mind is an objection against submission-true Islam- to the creator. A true Muslim will not be bothered about whatever it is said .If good is said they use from it and if bad is said they ignore it. GOD bless. Peace.

bravo fantastic

Is this the same Abdel Haleem that quran.com uses as one of their English translators? I've always considered his to be one of the most sane and reasonable of the translations. So called 'sahih international' is about the worst.

Your question has been around for a long time, I suggest for you to do your own research. Apologies. handshake peace Nothing to apologise bro. Thanks anyway and I will do that. Cheers

Do not worry. GOD Alone and scripture only guidance will prevail. We all get tried equally You will certainly be tested, through your money and your lives, and you will hear from those who received the scripture, and from the idol worshipers, a lot of insult. If you steadfastly persevere and lead a righteous life, this will prove the strength of your faith. لَتُبلَوُنَّ فى أَموٰلِكُم وَأَنفُسِكُم وَلَتَسمَعُنَّ مِنَ الَّذينَ أوتُوا الكِتٰبَ مِن قَبلِكُم وَمِنَ الَّذينَ أَشرَكوا أَذًى كَثيرًا وَإِن تَصبِروا وَتَتَّقوا فَإِنَّ ذٰلِكَ مِن عَزمِ الأُمورِ We need to pass GOD s admission test after all! God took a covenant from those who received the scripture "You shall proclaim it to the people, and never conceal it." But they disregarded it behind their backs, and traded it away for a cheap price. What a miserable trade. وَإِذ أَخَذَ اللَّهُ ميثٰقَ الَّذينَ أوتُوا الكِتٰبَ لَتُبَيِّنُنَّهُ لِلنّاسِ وَلا تَكتُمونَهُ فَنَبَذوهُ وَراءَ ظُهورِهِم وَاشتَرَوا بِهِ ثَمَنًا قَليلًا فَبِئسَ ما يَشتَرونَ They conceal Qoran and proclaim hadiths and nonsense to the people? If you say there is a verse that contradicts your hadith ,they say that verse is "Mnsoukh! disregard it. Well discard GOD s authority then? However some followers of the previous scriptures do believe in God, and in what was revealed to you, and in what was revealed to them. They reverence God, and they never trade away God's revelations for a cheap price. These will receive their recompense from their Lord. God is the most efficient in reckoning. So why trade GOD s revelations with any other man s books/hadiths/source? GOD bless you all. Peace.

Dear jkhan; peace be upon you. The reason I raised the issue of calculation of eclipses is that roundness, orbiting, periodicity are things that we both experience and that we can thereby calculate by. Verse 555 'The sun and the moon, calculation' Remember that this is in the context of Al-Rahman, The All Capable being The Teacher. We develop from language to calculation. We can through understanding how to calculate, now know something about how the concept of prophecy is able to be constructed in an eternal and universal way through numerical evaluation. By being able to label all the concepts that define our time and other points in time, and using the discovered formulas we can calculate past and future celestial events such as eclipses with great accuracy. The stationary flat earth of experience is unable to move beyond its static state because it is a limited world view. Calculations in this world state are either not possible or not straightforward or elegant; and do not accord with visible or observable evidence of sphericity (such as the photobombing of astro-pictures by man made satellite streaks that reflect sunlight like the moon does), in a flat plane earth model. Because of this prophecy of calculability and its importance in science for establishing truth we must understand that The God teaches all humanity. His favour extends to whomever He wills and He is All Capable. Not an atomic particle nor field escapes His awareness. The manifestation in our era of copious numerical miracles that have been increasingly uncovered in Koran metrics is truly astonishing also in this respect. So think and contemplate that 555 shows that calculation of celestial periods and ratios like the Metonic cycle are prophesied as Signs in the universe that we can verify observationally and using instruments. The God is fully aware of all that we do. The human is created after The God Teaches The Quran that is manifest to us as the shared world 'interface' that we experience. The human is then taught eloquence and explication through this experiential interface that The God has mercifully provided us with. Humanity first learns to articulate and then to calculate and recognise patterns in this interface. At the appointed time, the miracle of The Nineteen Sign is uncovered in a provably ancient text called The Koran and this leads to it being explained in ways that it has not been previously. It is truly one of the Great Signs that humanity has been taught.

Peace, Do the people think that they will be left to say, "We believe" and they will not be tried? But We have certainly tried those before them, and Allah will surely make evident those who are truthful, and He will surely make evident the liars. God bless peace

Salam my Brother, I just see simple numbers that strike me, and by Allah they do. when I keep on seeing the same number everywhere for days I open the Quran, go to that verse number and I find my answer there. I don't do complicated math like you did but I'm sure many have, many have worked upon number 19 and that indeed is a special number given by Almighty Himself. I see "signs" in "other ways" too, Alhumdulillah. I was about to buy something but I was not sure, for a few days I was not sure whether to buy it or not and then finally I decided that I was going to buy it, My wife reads the Quran in the morning and in the evening every day, Masha-Allah, when I was leaving she was reading the Quran so I asked her to kindly read the words that she was reading, she read a verse ending in فَإِذَا عَزَمۡتَ فَتَوَكَّلۡ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ‌ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُتَوَكِّلِينَ (١٥٩) "once you have taken a decision, place your trust in Allah. Surely, Allah loves those who place their trust in Him." and all my doubts vanished ! Quran is indeed a miracle, in many many ways.

Peace, I was not exactly talking about style, like tone or rhythm, but something else. Qur'an, like any other argumentative text, has its own style and rhetoric. Style is usually unique to an author or even to a text. There is no "Jewish style" when it comes to "write" a Scripture. What I was talking above is the core concepts that Qur'an message leverages. Those are indubitably mostly coming from the Jewish tradition and borrow to the Jewish way of teaching the divine will by using some kinds of parables, allegories, metaphors or wordplay based on phonic sliding. It is also important to note that various ancient Jewish authors, though having strong diverging views about the divine will, nevertheless used the same techniques. So using the same kind of parable or allegory doesn't mean that the message is the same. The authors quarreled with each other using the similar parables or allegories but with slight variations. This is why you would find in Qur'an similar stories than in the Bible or apocryphal Scriptures, but not quite exactly the same. The differences reflect slightly diverging views between Qur'an and other Scriptures about their understanding of the divine will.

It is very right that you seek God and do not lose faith. I believe that every religion teaches people something important. But what unites all the religions of the world is charity and love for all living things. I am a Christian and the first thing I did when I converted to the faith was to help children in orphanages. I've been to Syria and Uganda and seen the terrible things that children have to go through. Now I have applied to portland oregon adoption agencies to help me adopt a boy from Syria to whom I have become very attached. I am sure God will guide both me and you on the right path.
