    Exactly... I would like to add "Justice" as well.. If a group of people is doing elektro or voodoo to other people, especially if it because he/she is considered as 'heretics' / 'murtad' / 'kuffar', then it is our obligation to stop those things and enforce justice. So true.

    with respects Bigmo, just wanted to point out can't be the name of a group of anykind as it does mean destined for hell. It's used by people to tell others off by calling them by this name. peace I don't know, I could have the name wrong. I am just wondering if any group of people who identified themselves with Quran and Muhammad had no hadith corpus, what else could they be but Quranist? All the other sects that came after the Mu'tazilites and co. like Sunnis, Shias, Zaydis, Ismaelis, Alawis and Ahmedis later on, all had some hadith corpus and all are very similar to each other. All are very theocratic and all are very orthodox. One seems to have come to power with the help of the Abbasids while the others were a theocracy in opposition. And all these sects trace themselves to the battle of the Camel one way or the other, which is post Quranic by decades.

    Yeah that always pissed me off. No offense to anyone but they exterminated handicapped people, gypsies, homosexuals and anybody who was against them (the nazis). I met an old lady who survived one of the concentration camps. She was a christian polish lady, and her story was heart breaking. She even had that numbered tattoo on her arm, the one the nazis gave the prisoners. But nobody ever talks about them, or what they went through. It's always about what the Jewish population went through, and if anyone would mention what i just wrote - that person would be labeled as an anti-semite. The world is funny like that P Yeah, you right. bravo

    Salaam Jafar, well that is my point, they are in fact not referring to Allah, I myself would hate to be a Christianised Muslim, but you seem pleased, what you call Islam in it Christianised, Zoroastrianised manifestation, is not the Qur'anic Islam. If you want to consider the Qur'anic concepts of Allah you should read, 'God and Allah' on my website. I say the priestly class could never be existent within Islam, only in a religion to prevent Islam from existing, a Christianised Islam, so in effect not Islam at all. As for whose God is better, the foundation of Islam is There is No God. Until this simple concept is again understood Islam will continue to be a powerless and illusive ghost, a world driven deeper and deeper into the death cults of Christianity and Judaism, as the name of Islam is shamed by the religious using its title while removing truth, reason and security from the lives of humanity.

    Salamun alaikum, Br Munzir - love that ayat, thanks for quoting it, made me smile... QXP 3918 Those who listen to the Word, and follow the best of its application(in a given situation), such are the ones whom God has guided, and they are the ones endowed with insight. Kanzul_Iman Those who heed attentively and follow the best from it; it is these whom Allah has guided, and it is these who have intelligence. I've gotten into the habit of quoting Kanzul_Iman because when the brelwis read it, they HAVE to accept it, because nothing Raza Khan Brelwi did was wrong, he didn't make any mistakes in his entire life and was the best example for mankind, oops sorry, that station has been taken, the best example of the best example of mankind, oh did I mention he was infallible?

    Well said, bro Wakas, Quran is but a reminder for whoever wills/wants to remember ,easy for those who want to learn and those who repent , ones who ponder over themselves in alert purification/filtering/improvement and adjustment. "It is an honorable Reading.In a protected Book.None can grasp it except those purified."

    Salamun alaikum, Bigmo - good question. When we refer 'knowledge FROM the ghaib' we would be referring to whatever has already been given. In this context, the only thing given would be the Quran, likewise the Injeel, Torah, Zaboor etc. With Muhammad (S) being a gentile, he would not be versed in the intricacies of the judeo-christian faiths (at this moment this is an assumption of mine as I do not believe he was illiterate, but rather 'illiterate' in the prevailing religions). Hence the information he downloaded would contain data which he would not have seen or been privy to. After all he didn't witness Musa (S) turning the stick into a snake did he? (allegory). Hope that made sense. Peace d

    Sorry, i might not have made myself clear rehands to elbows i think the keyword is ila describing direction (i.e., "towards&quot, so it goes like wash your hands (up) towards your elbows. I don't know if "y-d-y" translated as (fore)arm would fit other verses.

    I dont know that seems a little bad... You mean to tell me that after prophet Muhammad died, Islam basically just got screwed up? I mean, really....That doesn't seem real. There are so many Muslims with Muhammad after he died that would fight and defend islam from pagen influence right? Umar, Ali, etc... Did anything different happen after Jesus' death? To say that after Muhammad left, everything Turned back to darkness...? then whats the point of living anymore? whats the point of Life? whats the point of religion? its like if every time Allah Creates Scripture, and sends a prophet....It just ends up back to the same old evil paganness over again...then whats the point anymore? What is within (your mind and your heart) to what is without (a book and a dead man). There are still things in the Qur'an that don't sit well with me. Six hundred years after "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone", you have "The adulteress and the adulterer, you shall lash each of them one hundred lashes, and do not let any pity take you over God's system if you acknowledge God and the Last Day. Let a group of the acknowledgers witness their punishment." Doesn't sound like it's from the same God to me and for some reason, the former rings closer to my heart.
  • Islamic Response to Nazi Germany

    Actually the Nazis were National Socialists (left wing). The Nazis were strictly opposed to Communists, and they were a right-wing party. They were not capitalistic, however, which doesnt mean that they werent right-wing. From Wiki Among the key elements of Nazism were anti-parliamentarism, Pan-Germanism, racism, collectivism, eugenics, antisemitism, anti-communism, totalitarianism and opposition to economic liberalism and political liberalism. As you can see they were very nationalistic (hence the name "National Socialists&quot, racist, Pan-Germanic, etc. which are clearly not left-wing characteristics. The socialistic element is the government intervention into business affairs and the oppositon to capitalism. They were not left-wing, but fascists. I guess you could say far-right with anti-capitalistic (left) elements. We could sum it up as follows I personally think Nazis are not on the rational spectrum of ideology because they were friggin crazy. The UK declared war on Germany on the 3rd September 1939 in defence of Poland. The USA never did declare war on Germany. Germany declared war on the USA in December 1941 after the Japanese attack on Pearl Habour the same day as the UK declaration of war on Japan USA also declared war on Germany and Italy on the 11th of December, 1941.

    I think it is the other way round. Muslims tend to use it show that the Quran is divinely inspired, with the non-Muslims' response being that it is no big deal.

    I feel bad for the Kind Hearted Christians who actually Like and beleive in this Holiday... Meaning, I feel bad for them in a Genuinely Nice way...(Not being sarcastic or arrogant). Because, There is SO much "Evilness" that has made this Holiday so Commercialized and Immoral....Its like Society has Lost its "Respect" for Christmas, and Lost its True Spirit for it. (whether its a real or fake holiday)... For instance, I was watching a Commercial today about a Movie that is Coming out called "Its Complicated" what P***ed me off was that The movie is about a Love Triangle with a Divorced woman, who is In her sexual prime, and Loves a new man, but also Loves her Ex, and its all cooky crazy complicated sexual affairs going on... Well, this didnt make me ENTIERLY angry because there is always Stupid Movies like this and Sex and the City, Desperate Housewives, etc... But the real part that mad me mad was that It comes out on CHRISTMAS DAY! Out of ALL THE DAYS to come out. Its like, wow, Lets take the day that is Supposed to be about Family Values...and release this Movie about Sexual Affairs with Divorced Sexual Women. Yeah! thats REALLY family orientated. In fact, Everyone Please bring your family to see it on Christmas day...yeah.... yuck brickwall confused Oh, what is the world coming to?

    Thanks for sharing this Arnold. This is very similar to the recent Top Gear episode where they go to Romania thinking it'll be a poor, broken down country with no roads or clean water but they find luxury and exotic cars everywhere. Good luck on spreading your message of rational Islam. It'll do the world a world of good.

    Salaam RA786, if you consider the abundant evidence all around us, Allah is pure imaginative thought, we view this thought as forms of energy, to our perception, but it all flows from pure nothingness, as a dichotomy of circular time, spinning all reality into existence. I am. I am a reflection of a thought, but reflect on the thought of my reflection. I am nothing, just the tiniest reflection on a calm ocean, yet at the highest extent, I reflect all creation. If I consider well, my ocean mirror shines. If I reflect inanity, ripples spiral. I am nothing but the thought of the ocean. Consider well to be a good thought, what mind would hold long to bad. A savoured thought, a pleasure and amusement, I?d labour to be, not a repulsive thought dismissed into the ocean depths of misery.
