General Issues / Questions

Peace Jafar. You say quote "LOL you sound a lot like a Christian, original sin?? Because some dude ate an apple? Do you really buy into that stuff? And I do wonder what's the 'original sin' of leopard, ants or birds.." this is your assumption. I do not believe in the "apple" story. I just weigh up most of the stories out there and ponder/check to see if they make sense to me I also look for Qoran as my guide. It does not mean I have the right view but it means I have my view. And of course you are entitled to your view like everyone else are. Here is another story -another view-,quote a summary "Contrary to common belief, the "Original Sin" was not Adam's violation of God's law when he ate from the forbidden tree. The original sin was our failure to uphold God's absolute authority in a past life/experience before the Great Feud." " (3869). One of the high-ranking creatures, Satan, entertained supercilious thoughts that his God-given powers qualified him to be a god besides God. He thus challenged God's absolute authority. Not only was Satan's idea blasphemous, it was wrong - only God, and no one else, possesses the qualifications and ability to be a god. Consequent to Satan's blasphemy, a division occurred in the Heavenly Society, and all constituents of God's kingdom became classified into four categories Angels Creatures who upheld God's absolute authority. Animals Rebels (animals, Others, plants... etc.) who took advantage of God's offer to repent and re-enter His kingdom. Jinns Creatures who agreed with Satan; that he is capable of being a "god." Humans Creatures who did not make up their minds; they failed to make a firm stand with God's absolute authority. God's plan called for creating death (671-2), then bringing the humans and jinns into this world. Thus, they start over without any biases, and exercise full freedom to uphold God's absolute authority or Satan's polytheistic theory. To make this crucial decision, every human being receives a message from God advocating His absolute authority, as well as a message from Satan pushing his polytheistic principles. To give us a headstart, the Most Merciful gathered all the human beings before Him, prior to sending us to this world, and we bore witness that He alone is our Lord and Master (7172). Thus, upholding God's absolute authority is a natural instinct that is an integral part of every human being. You can read the rest here https//www.masjidtucson.org/quran/appendices/appendix7.html. Just another view to compare and ponder. Like you said ,one is free to their own view/belief .For me the main question is why are we here has to have a reason and a purpose. GOD is just , there must be a very good reason for all the creatures to be here in this life . Or are other views ridiculous and yours the true evidenced version? They are all there for people to ponder/choose/ridicule/...or search and come up with their own GOD bless you. Peace.

Thank you for the reply. I guess Arabic is quite difficult for non-arabic speaking people, even with Corpus Quran translation.

Communism is one of the foundations of pagan spiritualism. Evolution, communism, pantheism, polytheism, holy people, adopting a poor life, being hostile to sexuality, believing in spirits, suffering, being hostile to luxury, belief in reincarnation... All these are the foundations of the doctrine that the demon tried to instill in humanity throughout history. As the devil degenerated religion, he tried to impose them on people. By the way, Sufism and Kabbalah are the trojans of this spiritualism/paganism. And the fake Bible on the market is also a book of hadith, and it contains many elements of pagan spiritism. For example, communism has been injected into the Bible. It is thought that the Essenes did this. Let me give you the machine translation of my Turkish article on the subject https//emre1974tr-blogspot-com.translate.goog/2011/07/ruhculugun-hristiyanlktaki-tezahurleri.html?_x_tr_sl=tr&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=tr&_x_tr_pto=nui

Also all the nonsense, contradictions and false information is from hadiths ,mistranslations/misinterpretations and ignorance of "what Qoran really says?" . Have they pondered and studied it in detail? Things like,quote "Do Muslims believe in wife-beating, slavery, and executing gay people? Do they believe the sun goes somewhere at night and that Allah holds up the sky? What about child marriage? Here are 20 questions that Muslim converts should really ask themselves." ... I do not need to even state the questions ? All these questions have two different interpretations according to one s confirmation bias. Or each go ponder and study Qoran then see for yourself. GOD bless. Peace.

2255 God, there is no god except He, the Living, the Eternal. No slumber or sleep overtakes Him; to Him belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. Who will intercede with Him except with His permission? He knows their present and their future, and they have none of His knowledge except for what He wishes. His Throne encompasses all of the heavens and the earth and it is easy for Him to preserve them. He is the Most High, the Great 327 “You blend the night into the day, and You blend the day into the night; and You bring the living out of the dead, and You bring the dead out of the living; and You provide for whom You wish without reckoning.”

Hello. I, uh, have some more questions. Is it OK to use toilet paper (or anything besides water) to clean one's private parts after doing their, um, business? Does the Qur'an specify anything? Are there 2, 3, or 5 daily prayers? Is it true that everyone under the age of 40 will go to heaven? Is being a "submitter" and a "believer" different? If so, would "submitters" go to heaven? Do we need to say the "shahada" in order to become a muslim? Sorry if I'm just repeating questions others have already asked. This site is giving me more questions than answers. -Sonic jedi Peace Hope you are doing fine dude.. 1.... Yeah it is fine.. Purpose is to clean the private parts.. No water and something else works out.. But nothing cleans the body like water.. Nothing specified in Quran.. Quran orders to be clean.. Even one asked me once, can we make the four steps of cleaning before salat with soap or liquid soap.. If you have water no harm apply soap.. After all you are doing the four steps.. Don't complicate.. Be clean.. That's God's advice.. 2... Research within Quran.. And verify and follow with what suits best for you.. Purpose of salat is to remember God and praise God.. Remember God always.. It is more than your salat.. 3... I wish I suicide before age of 40 to get a free entry ticket.. Just kidding.. Millions of people die before age of 40... Those waged war against prophet and died most probably would have been below 40 ..coz young blood can fight well in battle.. Everyone will be questioned.. Keep that phrase in mind regardless of what age they died.. within Quran genuine believers only will have one life before the hereafter.. But disbelievers two.. Even if they die before the age of 40(for example 5 year old) in one life, but they would get or they already got their deserved life span.. God judges with what we did in our life.. That's criteria to decide whether to send to hell or heaven.. In a child's life there is nothing worthy to mention.. .. No children in the day of judgement standing in front of God.. That would be bizzare.. Billions infants lined up... rotfl God knows what we don't know.. So.. Simply no one is given free ticket to paradise.. You need to work hard to achieve that with the mercy of God.. 4... Yes.. Different.. But only for submitter.. Believer is already a submitter/surrender(muslim) as well.. But mere Muslims need to cultivate their souls.. No one knows who goes to heaven.. But according to God's verses believers would go if they were in fact believers.. When it comes to Muslim, God will decide.. God says don't die without being a Muslim (surrendered to God. ie accepted God is one and not associated anything with Him).. 5... Not mandatory in words... But you should definitely accept and believe that "No god save God".. That acceptance only propel you ahead in faith... If you accept ultimately you end up stating the phrase " No god but God".. Just chill.. God bless you with guidance and knowledge and wisdom...

Salam to all, I think I should post this YouTube here as its related and have opinions https//youtu.be/09-JthSnyic God bless you all

Holy Quran 6137 And it was adorned for the polytheists, by their partners, to kill their children in order to turn them and to confound their system for them. Had God willed they would not have done this, so ignore them and what they invent. 1446 Andthey schemed their scheming, and their scheming is known to God; and their scheming was enough to make the mountains cease to exist. 2205 And if he gains power, he seeks to corrupt the earth and destroy its crops, and the lineage. God does not love corruption. Peace

Peace Please state the Quranic verse/s which confirm the Bible was corrupted. If some of the teachings of the Bible go against the Qur'an, then obviously they would be false. But what about teachings that do not go against the Qur'an yet are not confirmed by the Qur'an? How do you know if they are also made-up or part of the real teachings of God? Thanks Has Quran at all mentioned the Book Bible in the first place? Then how we conclude the corruption? Why we want to worry about a book named Bible which has not even its mentioning in Quran..

The key to elegant fall looks is to create fashionable mixes of different styles. Women's and Men's caps will be the finishing touch that will help make the outfit flawless. Universal in this respect, ultra-fashionable in 2021, caps with a comprehensive, soft visor. Stylists call them "hooligans" for their blatant resemblance to the models prevalent in men's fashion in the middle of the last century. Light but elegant carelessness inherent in the cut will give any ensemble intrigue and individuality. This season's fall hats like headwearhut.com look very stylish.

Peace tilihawa Thanks for your great explain peace

Also, wouldn't having a premise like "The Day of Judgement will not come until Jesus's second coming," "The Day of Judgement will not come until Dajjal remembers his Google password," "The Day of Judgement will not come until..." contradict verses like 2255 "And those who disbelieve shall not cease to be in doubt concerning it until the hour overtakes them suddenly, or there comes on them the chastisement of a destructive day"

Salam all, I am not saying these translations are the best ...I am simply sharing what I personally use for English translations and the reason why I use them Monotheist Group, because the translation is from a group of people who are monotheists (so not influenced by sahih hadith books) and it has undergone "peer review" for continuous improvement Asad, because despite under influence by sahih hadith books, the commentary can be considered non sectarian and highly thoughtful in regard to the meaning of the words Sahih International, because the translation has corresponding word by word so it is easy to check which word is being translated as what Literal, because it is literal And of course my own translation as I continue to build my understanding of The Book sun Wassalam

1- How do you know they are not harming themselves? Then why break the oath taken when humans accepted the Amana? Is GOD not our Lord? Did we not agree to this before coming to this life? You mean they have not got the message? GOD says everyone will be reminded and warned. GOD makes sure of this by sending messengers to the humans. They are taking on other gods either themselves or others!!! The whole purpose of life is to make the decision to accept or deny GOD. 2-, Committing to each other is a marriage.If both sides agree ,then what is wrong with marrying? .This is the agreement/contract that binds the two together. This agreement is called marriage. 3-First where do you get "haram" from? Second all habits that harm us we are told to keep away from them. There are many other habits that harm us in the long run like over eating, masturbating ,intoxicating ourselves by sniffing gas,...etc Staying away from some is beneficial to our mind and prevents us from harming our body and bad actions. But our choice. 4- God uses multi meaning words of the Arabic language. People use their own interpretations , GOD has not forced them to choose the wrong meanings. GOD tries people s intentions for the purpose of their deep convictions. Or is GOD not going to let them show their own character? This will clearly differentiate the true/sincere/ from the false/liar 5- The difference is clear. If you are only intending to play the marriage game to satisfy your desire ,then you are disrespecting each other and you are breaking the oath of committing to each other for social harmony and the good of the family including if children will be involved..Imagine what happens to the society ? What about the children if there will be any? In this case it is clear Zina.. Why one would do that if their intention is not to play around with different women/men? Who would like their mother,sister,aunt...to be involved in such games? Morally and practically wrong!!! GOD bless you. Peace.

Dears, I have a question for every one. We know by our exeprience and observations facts about this life and everything around us. We read from history and also from religious books. We tend to make some sense of all these in general and in personal terms. However do we ever know the Real Truth about this life? The more I try to bring logic into the life, the more am disappointed by the opposite events which tends to defy the logic, to the point that there is no logic in this world, everything here happens for reasons beyong our imagination, yet we tend to label a reason for everything that happened. In short, we can go on and shout or pray silent, God may listen or may not listen, does not matter, what is going to happen will happen anyway. So the point is, everything is happening beyong our grasp, yet it is beautifully terms as free will and we reconcile ourselves into beleiving that there is some sort of an order or logic into this world, yet the game is on, generations after generations come in, same stories being repeted, similar of different faces and life goes on. The more I dig deep into religion or philosophy, the more I am lost... why? Cheers Peace Fusion, What "truths" do you need to Know? handshake

Have you based this question on verses yourself? Which ones? If GOD is all-knowing means GOD knows the outcome of experiments .GOD is no need of anything, GOD has all He needs. Experiment are for learning processes, we need experiments,creatures need experiments to improve./search/learn... GOD bless you. Peace.

And i know that God knows everything.... so if God knows my future, what about freewill? Help me please.... im so confused confused confused Salam Mahdi20, You might want to check this post https//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9610975.msg428861#msg428861 Wassalam

Here are my thoughts 1- Mohammed brought us Qoran. Qoran is the message. GOD s deen is in Qoran. 2- Mohammed was clearly told to deliver Qoran alone. Not his biography or words or sayings or men s biographies or sayings or... 3- The main question is what is the evidence that Qoran is forged? The words given to Mohammed not his biography! 4- So who needs a biography? What for/? GOD clearly tells us Qoran alone is enough for salvation. Qoran contains all our needs for salvation. 5-We know traditional Islam s hadiths are an issue ,they should not be trusted. They changed GOD s Deen-True Islam which is submission to GOD Alone and His authority Alone- into "Traditional Islam" which is a man s made up religion with authority/ies other than GOD. 6- Nothing new about finding issues with man s fabrications in man s religions. GOD bless you. Peace.

I am confused on why the son of Adam did not defend himself against his brother's intent to kill, when throughout the Quran The God tells us to fight/defend those who fight against you. ...If you extend your hand towards me to kill me, I will not extend my hand to you to kill you for I fear Allah, the Lord of the Universe. I want you to leave with the sin of killing me and with your own sin then you will be among the people of the Fire. This is the reward of the unjust. His soul made him kill his brother. So he killed him and became one of the losers. S5V27-30 Is it more righteous to not reciprocate like the son of Adam did? Or am I missing something? Peace Peace LTTBT Be a believer or none believing person.. Their quotes are not necessarily the command of Allah even though they are in Quran as a complete verse.. ... We are not to follow every verse of Quran.. We are to believe in all of them and to adhere what is asked to be followed.. There are lessons in Quran as well orders.. We are not ordered to destroy all deities like Ibrahim did.. Ibrahim did doesn't mean we should do coz it is in Quran.. They are lessons not command of God.. Do follow command of God if it applies to all believers.. It was the sole decision of one of the sons of Adam.. He told his brother what He wanted to say.. He may be loving his brother and cannot do something to the extent of killing even in self defence... It can happen to any kind hearted person.. Even if such a thing happen in my life I can't think of killing my own sibling even though they want to kill me for a silly reason out of jealousy ... Coz once I have killed own sibling for self defence the pain will only remain with me... But it is different killing an another person who came against you and you would try to protect yourself.. And in that case anything could happen.. Even you overcome and kill the one who attacked you you won't bother much coz you can be satisfied after sometime.. But not in case of the one you love.. Suppose if one's father try to kill his son while son loves him more than anyone, can son kill father for self defence.. Such approach is tough with love.. So it was comprehensive decision of Adam's son and not what God ordered or prefer necessarily.. Furthermore.. We have no idea how he murdered his brother.. Was there any chance for defence? Though he told I won't attack you, he would have defended spontaneously if it was face to face.. But who knows.. It could be a cowardly killing without knowledge to his brother.. For example.. Poisoning, attack from rear.. Etc etc.. God gives as law what is best for human being though we like it or not.. Can do it or not.. But Allah knows what suits best for human heart as law.. Self defence for the sake of others is best.. Self defence for the sake of self is personal choice like Adam's son..

So God did not give lots of things that we can sort using our common sense or already existing habits in Qoran? GOD did not know astronauts are going to be in space for months?. GOD did not know the days and nights alternate according to where you are on earth. Some have approximately the same hours and some days and nights vary according to how long the sun stays above the horizon during different seasons? Yet GOD has allowed for us to skip Salat and sawm if we cannot do them no matter what circumstances like emergency, travel illness other... GOD said His deen is easy not to create hardship for us. So we want GOD to detail for us every sun position time on earth? In that case there will be a multiple of scenarios and times! Just to get some common sense to the question ,do you want GOD to set an exact time. for Salat and sawm? Then GOD would have had to set so many different times for different places on earth.? GOD gave you a specific timing of the place of the messenger for Sawm and gave window time guidelines for Salat. Guidelines that coincide with our daily habits of sleeping ,getting up, meal time etc... Anyone in any place on earth does these daily tasks. So the arrangements will follow some common sense with agreement of these daily tasks. Qoran says if you cannot do sawm, feed some folks or do some good, same with Salat or any task that you cannot manage, you have an alternative whether you are in Scandinavia or space or ... Work around your daily tasks of sleep, getting up, work and meal times. or skip altogether and be good and do good. Once we start being devoid of common sense ,we will fall into an abyss of exact specification and making the Deen hard for ourselves and ignore the use of our own GOD given faculties -eyes, ears and brain- Given by GOD for the task of using them along with the guidance provided by Him. Our free will requires us to use our faculties with GOD s instruction ,therefore GOD allows us to use them to decipher His message. That is why the big responsibility is on our intentions. We can find all sorts of excuses and questions that are restrictive and hinder us. Qoran is our guide requiring us to use our faculties with sincerity and good intentions. GOD bless. Peace.
