    Salaam dear brother Word ?Makka? should also be included in our understanding. Bakka, as explained by Allama Rasheed Namani "Bakka means to resist, to tear and to destroy" (Page 43 Vol 2) The meaning of Makka is to suck (On Page 433 of Vol 5) Allama Rasheed Namani writes "(Tamakkato al-Azm) I sucked the marrow of the bone," "(Imtakk al-Faseel) Baby of the camel sucked all the milk from its mothers breast." The problem starts when we don?t see the context of the verse. Lets see what Quran says, This word has appeared in Verse 96 of Sura 3 "Undoubtedly the first institution constituted for mankind is the one with Bakka (&#1614 the blessed one, the guidance for humanity." 1...The word Bebakka (&#1614 has two words Be & Bakka ( ) ?Be? means "with" and it does not mean "in or within". The word for "in" is fe ( ). If it was meant to be said in Bakka It would have been ( ) fe Bakka. 2...The word (waza - ) means to constitute e.g. to constitute a constitution or to constitute an ideology etc. It does not mean to build. The verse 97 makes it even more clear. "Therein are the clear guidance?s i.e the ideology of Ibraheem, Whosoever entered the institution is in peace. It is the responsibility of those who have the capability to apply to discuss, argue and prove the authenticity (Hijj-ul-bait - &#1616 of the guidance. And God is absolutely independent from those creatures who rejects or denies to accept the guidance." Now if Bakka was a place how people could deny the existence. It is only the constitution or commands or teachings or an ideology which can be rejected or denied. The verses 98 & 99 also makes this word even more clear. In these verses the attitude of Ahle-Kitab is described . "Say O People of the book "why do you reject the Divine guidance when He himself is witness to what you do. Say O People of the book Why do you stop those who seek peace from the divine path by seeking distortion and mutilating it although you yourself are witness to. God is not unaware of what you do." So this is very clear that ?Bakka? and ?Makka? are the qualities of the divine guidance and hence may be taken as the names of the Divine Book. God bless you . This explaination is given by Dr Qamar Zaman

    Umm hey brothers. Just so all is clear here, my OP was entirely tongue in cheek. Apparently my warped sense of humor is not shared by the majority on free-minds. No worries. Just know that I haven't planned the insurgency just yet. lol my bad.

    No indeed! When Earth is crushed and ground to dust, and your Lord arrives with the angels rank upon rank, and that Day Hell is produced, that Day man will remember. But how will the remembrance help him? (Surat al-Fajr, 21-23) When the seas are filled with flame. (Surat at-Takwir, 6) And that Day Hell is produced, that Day man will remember; but how will the remembrance help him? He will say "Oh! If only I had prepared in advance for this life of mine!" That Day no one will punish as He punishes. (Surat al-Fajr, 23-25) ???

    Settletruth, I need to re-read the article or even get it from its Original Source, because If my memory is Correct, I am pretty sure he even said that He Hopes he is Wrong. Yes, You never said that He is Like hitler or ariel sharon or any baby eating moster....I will admit that I made that Exaggarated Example explain what I feel you have said. So...If we are going to be FULLY, EXPLICITLY TRUTHFUL.... Settletruth Never EXCPLICTLY said Rashad Khalifa is like Hitler. 2)Rashad Khalifa NEVER said that He WISHES or HOPES the Arabs get hit by a Meteor. Can we Agree on the Above 1 & 2 statements? So, Even though I think you equate Rashad with Hitler, and Even though You Think Rashad Khalifa Wishes for Arabs to Die.... Neither of us are speaking the Explicit Truth with Clear evidence. we are only making our own conclusions based off of our Interpretations. I will look in the Article because I do think that somewhere in there he said that he "Hopes(wishes) his Prophecy/guess is Wrong" He believes it will happen but he hopes he is wrong. I will try to find that statement in there.

    A physical act involving movement of body parts is always learnt and skilled only by seeing with eyes another person doing it and then immitating it in physical terms. It does not mean becoming a "traditionalist". I agree. peace

    Salaam, did you think I meant literally? No, I've just wanted to explain to you the saying literally and you can later make it valid in whatever Isn't the internet wonderful for finding out things! I think I've seen this thing in TV . the only word that I took from internet is this "The source of this phrase was actual fire-fighting that was taken on by US settlers in the 19th century" the whole post is mine according to a TV program in TV about fire I've watched it before. So you believe in retaliation Thereformer1? -To what end? there is a misundertood here . I believe in "" , which is allowed in Quran .

    Hi Friends, As for the Baha'i faith. It has been divided into many small sects. Although Baha'i faith claims to have 6 million on so adherents in actuality it has very little followers. And in this small CULT (Bahaism) there are around 17 sects all calling itself to be true Baha'i Religion. There are many who does not follow the Haifa Based (all male, infallible) Universal House of (In)justice and follow some guardians. Some are against the "Administrative System" of the cult that operates like a "MULTINATIONAL COMPANY". Some does not like the RUHI BOOKS. Yes, this is fact and internet is full of such stories. So when this so called New religion cannot unite its own adherents how is it going to bring the world peace? When they are told to boycott (Shun) the critics / reformers (COVENANT BREAKERS) and "COVENANT BREAKERS" (Those who do not follow the Administrative System) and creating problems for the HAIFA BASED BAHAISM and they cannot sort out their own differences, how they are going to unite the human kind. Friends can see this video presentation here http//www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYnjWvjHf1o The claims of all the sects are very valid. If anybody is really interested in studying Bahaism, please do study the claims of every SECT in detail, it is very important. This site can also be accessed for detailed study http//www.sectsofbahais.com

    Peace, Respectfully. I have seen sunnis not following The Quran in favor of the other books. 6836 What is wrong with you, how do you judge? 6837 Or do you have a book which you study? 6838 In it, you can find what you wish? 6839 Or do you have an oath from Us, extending until the Day of Resurrection, that you can judge as you please? 6840 Ask them Who of them will make such a claim? 6841 Or do they have partners? Then let them bring their partners, if they are truthful. Peace I was referring to how RH said that WE don't follow the Quran.

    Does the taj al arus give detail of hadiths study? If it doesn?t im not interested in reading it. Well I know muslim studied under sheyoukh doesn?t mean he or they are infallible. They muslim and bukhari authenticated their hadiths differently. I know there is more than shafi, you didn?t realise what I said. In the history of hadiths shafi is the one that said hadiths is a dual revelation with quran, he made some big statements which has effectively changed the course of how muslims are today and their views of hadith. Imam malik based his teachings of practices muslims did in Medina, not all of it was hadiths. Anyway I know there are MANY muhaditheen. It?s funny how you said bukhari is the best one yet you prefer muslim.. odd I would think you should prefer bukhari. Many schools existed. The issue about shias is like the biggest misconception. But anyway believe as you like. The prophet didn?t say follow his sunnah, please show me the verse thanks When I meet one person in this world who has memorised all of bukhari, muslim, abu dawud and all the so called authentic 6 hadith books, by chain and all the ordering without making any mistake I?ll believe that they had that in their memory, until then that?s not evidence. Because of a lies the sahaba were scared, I wonder! Lies existed and they were scared of it so they didn?t record hadiths. They were wise they realised how easy it would be to fabricate hadiths so they didn?t record it. if it was an essential ?sunnah? to preserve the prophet himself would have ordered it or at least the companions would have done something about it. Many sahabi existed, doesn?t mean all sahabi were good. Asahih didn?t become sahih overnight, they needed to authenticate the collection. Hasan and deaf are not people they are descriptions of the quality of hadiths, quality of hadiths are not liars quality of hadiths is ?good? or ?weak?. If you reject hadiths that are hasan and daef because you think they are lies well then you?re not much different to me. BTW the "sources" you told me were of sunnah not sunnah muakida, i want the muakid of it all. Salaam, surely the Prophet Muhammed's 'teachings' were from Allah through the Qur'an? Did the Prophet Muhammed say to anyone to record his 'sayings' & compile books about them? Meaning did he authorize them? -I'm not clear on this! if the prophet authorized hadith do you think we'd have the problem with hadith we have today? funny we don't have the same problem with Quran, i wonder why.
