General Issues / Questions

You shouldn't trust any site. It's only an index, so assuming one looks it up to check content than it's not so bad. And of course, verify the translation as best you can. The index is excellent but the site is hard core Sunni site. They recently had to delete the hadith about Muslim killing Jews in the end of time after some zionist complained. The index is good I think at least its able to help in searching material in the Koran

The Quran is flawless and perfect. It is us humans and our nafs (souls) that are not. In what sense? Reminding you of the basic fact The Quran is not a 'living thing' and/or a 'living creature'. It is basically a book in arabic language, which is a 'language' a.k.a human symbolism of meaning through sounds. Written in arabic script, which is human symbolism of sounds through series of marking and/or icons. As technology progress, nowadays it's being printed by printing machine on a piece of paper (or in digital format available for download & reading in the internet) Those who can't read arabic script or understand the arabic language couldn't get anything out of it. The best they can do is to get the 'translation' / 'transliteration' of it, which is done by humans.. Human is not perfect, in a sense they are capable of doing error, forgetfulness and bound by certain limitation. That I certainly agree.. Thus the implication is Human's language is not perfect. (and it also evolves over time) Human's script is not perfect. (and it also evolves over time) Human's thought is not perfect. (and it also evolves over time) Salam / Peace

Salaaman all, I agree 100% with IronArnold. Sorry, I mean Iron & Arnold ;D Regards, mmKhan

Peace All praise to Allah swt....amazing!!!

From what I say. We do not know what the jinn in the Quran are, we only know so much speculation, so I am just putting forward a possibility. Those who are condemned by their deeds on the qiyama will be the burn and still live on, so what are they. Are they still human? peace brother i have explored the matter in detail in my book on jinn. Perhaps you may wish to read it. All praise to Allah swt

Hi, I am new in this forum and I really like it since it matches my logic. I am muslim and had lots of questions regarding Islam particulalry the contradictions that existed between Hadith and Holy Koran and this website has solved them all. welcome Glad all your questions regarding hadith are solved )

Because of the statues of the mind, people worship the own thoughts. Because people don't change, they become statues. O Lord the ALL-Beauty, teach your servants to find the nectar. Though most fly but they're not bees. o Master of All Change. Dwell in me day and night, so i may have Pure insight. Some change the lighbulbs of the house. But when your Light shines in Dawn, no other light can be seen. Electricity is ashamed. Some paint the walls, but don't find the leaks. Some find the leaks but don't check the basement. some change the basement but don't work the earth. some work the earth but don't find the stream. Some find the stream but don't find the volcano. Some find the volcano but don't see the core. And those who arrive at the core, return no more. Because all that remains, is YOU. O LORD. YOU are ALL and EVERYTHING to me. Dwell in me o Lord of Purity. EVery change begins and ends with you. And i am in between limits of time. But in your presence, the time stops. And relativity transmutes into Reality. Then i don't speak anymore. Because it's you, Lightninng the Lightbolts of purity. That no mind can catch. Except the Soul who Loves You. Praise be to YOu. i've become your bird. Singing and Flying From You, Through YOu, For YOu. YOU YOU YOU. Lord of The Worlds. Praised you be, the Lord of Me And Your Gracious Peace be upon the rest of the Earths that spin and rotate by Your Decree. i Love YOU. Peace, R.

Greetings & peace dear people, IronSky, Try start from God alone and stick with God alone. For example, as for me If there was a time when the universe was empty then now it would be empty because emptiness can't create anything, but it is not empty now - so it was never empty - something was always there - Nature/God. This non emptyniess which we call universe/creation is working under same universal rules/system in harmony, and we are forced to come here borned and leave from here dead - that non-empty truly Natural power/force which always existed which we call God is the only we thank, praise, ask for help, ask for forgiveness, want to be successful in His terms. Now, when we stick to God alone, whatever the scripture/translation/verse/idea/book - if it makes sense in the view of praising/thank/accept God alone and doing good - I take it. I won't take it because "but it's in the quran!" or "but it's in the bible!". Yes, very much agreed, if I hear things make sense about God alone from the quran, bible, etc.., or even a burning tree or angel or camel or reggae song (for example "Culture - Behold&quot or whatever, I'll agree and learn from its message. But parts that doesn't go with God alone, I don't take/agree with them - it doesn't make me any better in the objective of pleasing the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth. In the quran and bible also probably has lots of verses related to situations/missions of that time and not directed to us - I mean, I don't seem to see how can I be a better man from many verses (for example, abu lahab, war decisions, etc... they may give lessons, but probably not directed/talking to us), but it's certainly directed to other people at the prophet's time/mission. It's like when you read a book, if it's logical then you agree with it. NOT because of the title of the book. Although the Quran is much more "preserved"than other scriptures I know of (But not all "copies" or "trasmissions" or "versions" of the Quran are 100% the same worldwide in a few physical ways - they are still of much less different than other scriptures' "versions&quot - Let's thank God for letting us guidance through a more preserved scripture where lots of it makes sence in the theme of "beleive in God and do good". Even if you can or you can't verify a book's authenticity, it's just paper - there's still the problem of translation, interpretation, etc. Also, lots of verses directed to prophetic situations, war.. etc. But when we stick to God alone - we focus on God alone verses/scriptures/book/ideas/interpretations. Only the true God has the true Power of all things. As I see it, the focus is God alone because of your sincere reason/logic (not because it's said in a book with a good title). Once we have this as our Criterion - we can go to the scriptures and take/learn from what is going with this objective/theme. O0 So, as my humble suggestion, I don't know about the manuscripts but maybe you can try convince your dad about God alone and then see verses about God alone in bible, then quran (a lot of them go with God alone - thank God!) or other sources... Jah Blessings! Zidane.

This is another reason why I believe yataamaa are not orphans. Usually a child who is abandoned by the mother and is living with his/her father is not vulnerable or rejected by the society. The polygamy permission has nothing to do with the interest, or welfare, of adults. It's a permission to address the societal problem of a child who's rejected for not having a known father. Men are given the permission to marry such mothers so as to extend social protection to those yataamaa. No woman is needed to play this role, so no permission is extended to them. Salaam Samia, Although I already have an understanding of this, I do want to mention that you explained this very well... and to the point. bravo Peace

Salam welcome msn chats have been successful and live sun Peace

SALAM I'm in. I believe that a few generations from now there will be many many Quran Alone believers anyway, this will keep happening until all the religions of God collapse into one. There is nothing wrong with individualism and as I always said everybody is a hybrid. Jadiloohum billatee hiya a7san. 16125 OdAAu ila sabeeli rabbika bialhikmati waalmawAAithati alhasanati wajadilhum biallatee hiya ahsanu inna rabbaka huwa aAAlamu biman dalla AAan sabeelihi wahuwa aAAlamu bialmuhtadeena 16125 Invite (all) to the Way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious for thy Lord knoweth best, who have strayed from His Path, and who receive guidance. Thank you brother. sun

Peace, Respectfully. I wait for the day when one country will finally proclaim The Quran as The Law. I think the last Quranic/Islamic country died with prophet Muhammad and i also believe that such a country can and will be born only if Muslims make some in that direction. God bless you. Peace.

Salaam!!! Would anyone have an objection to a Qur'anist dawning a Kufi? Peace, Respectfully. Are those the caps sunnis wear? Because i would never wear one and only because they remind me of Jews who wear them and i strongly believe that sunnis took that from the Jews. I think, i don't know. Peace.

?Those who follow the Gentile messenger prophet whom they find written for them in the Torah and the Injeel; he orders them to goodness, and deters them from evil, and he makes lawful for them the good things, and he forbids for them the evil, and he removes their burden and the shackles that are upon them. So those who believe in him, and support him, and help him persevere, and follow the light that was sent down with him; these are the successful.? (7157) The verse explains what it means to obey a messenger. Today we can only "follow the light that was sent down with him" ?Those who follow the Gentile messenger prophet whom they find written for them in the Torah and the Injeel; he orders them to goodness, and deters them from evil, and he makes lawful for them the good things, and he forbids for them the evil, and he removes their burden and the shackles that are upon them. So those who believe in him, and support him, and help him persevere, and follow the light that was sent down with him; these are the successful.? (7157) Pls interpret the bold par of the verse using the following one We have revealed to you the Scripture with truth that you may judge between the people by that which God has shown you, and do not be an advocate for the treacherous. (4105) To judge between them about who is God and who was Jesus and Moses and judgement day and so on and whether these gods they were following are real. The Koran says that God will judge between them on matters of belief and historic record. Qur'an 2213-214 Surah Al-Baqarah (The Heifer) Mankind was one single nation and God sent Messengers with glad tidings and warnings; and with them He sent the Book in truth to judge between people in matters wherein they differed; but the People of the Book after the clear Signs came to them did not differ among themselves except through selfish contumacy. God by His Grace guided the believers to the truth concerning that wherein they differed. For God guides whom He will to a path that is straight.Or do ye think that ye shall enter the Garden (of Bliss) without such (trials) as came to those who passed away before you? They encountered suffering and adversity and were so shaken in spirit that even the Apostle and those of faith who were with him cried "When (will come) the help of God?" Ah! verily the help of God is (always) near! Surah 2, Ayat 252-253 252 These are the portents of Allah which We recite unto thee (Muhammad) with truth, and Lo! thou art of the number of (Our) messengers; 253 Of those messengers, some of whom We have caused to excel others, and of whom there are some unto whom Allah spake, while some of them He exalted (above others) in degree; and We gave Jesus, son of Mary, clear proofs (of Allah's sovereignty) and We supported him with the holy Spirit. And if Allah had so willed it, those who followed after them would not have fought one with another after the clear proofs had come unto them. But they differed, some of them believing and some disbelieving. And if Allah had so willed it, they would not have fought one with another; but Allah doeth what He will. 3.55 (And remember) when Allah said O Jesus! Lo! I am gathering thee and causing thee to ascend unto Me, and am cleansing thee of those who disbelieve and am setting those who follow thee above those who disbelieve until the Day of Resurrection. Then unto Me ye will (all) return, and I shall judge between you as to that wherein ye used to differ. Surah 16, Ayat 120-125 120 Lo! Abraham was a nation obedient to Allah, by nature upright, and he was not of the idolaters; 121 Thankful for His bounties; He chose him and He guided him unto a straight path. 122 And We gave him good in the world, and in the Hereafter he is among the righteous. 123 And afterward We inspired thee (Muhammad, saying) Follow the religion of Abraham, as one by nature upright. He was not of the idolaters. 124 The Sabbath was appointed only for those who differed concerning it, and lo! thy Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that wherein they used to differ. Surah 2, Ayah 213 213 Mankind were one community, and Allah sent (unto them) Prophets as bearers of good tidings and as warners, and revealed therewith the Scripture with the truth that it might judge between mankind concerning that wherein they differed. And only those unto whom (the Scripture) was given differed concerning it, after clear proofs had come unto them, through hatred one of another. And Allah by His will guided those who believe unto the truth of that concerning which they differed. Allah guideth whom He will unto a Straight path. peace

I hope we all fast well! http//i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa210/jaythikay99/ramadhan1.jpg Aah this is not fasting eat & sorry to say but the traditionalist are wasting toooooooo much food in so called Ramadan which is against the spirit of fasting. >

Peace Belal, everyone, Why are you so angry and stressed? I am not the one who lied to people "Sight the New Moon Yourself" and then provided a link to a doctored image. I don't think that any answers can help you when you don't even care about what the god says. If you are not a hypocrite then first go and witness "shahr ramadan" as the god said to you in 2185 and then we can talk. Peace, Ayman That is a good way to run from answering my Questions. As I said I dare you. Have Fun in finding an answer. Also, can you calculate how many days the period in the following case (&#65279 If any of you die and leave widows behind; they shall wait concerning themselves four months and ten days when they have fulfilled their term, there is no blame on you if they dispose of themselves in a just and reasonable manner. And Allah is well acquainted with what ye do. (2-234) Based on you, 4 Full Moon + 10 days confused Cann't solve; need your help ;D

Peace Belal, I gave you the example of "GhaDBAN" from the great reading and there are many others but you can't increase your knowledge if you imagine some new grammar rule called "Continuous Adjective" to justify your clear error. What is the different between "Ghadeb" and "GHadeb + An"? Also, a dual noun would be associated with a dual or plural verb and "insan" is always associated with a singular verb in the great reading. Because both are one united Single Nafs as were created in the begning. It is not the same question. I didn't ask you where truth comes from or how do you know it. I asked you where falsehood comes from. The fact that the book of the god is true is irrelevant to this question. For example, Sunnis use the true book of the god to justify the falsehood of following Hadiths. 19ers use the book of the god to justify following the attractive temptation of counting 19. So the fact that the book of the god is true doesn't have any bearing on where falsehood comes from. I did not see any well-established Verses that support Hadith or Code 19. Thus, still Falsehood comes from associating lies about God's Religion. Male and female is not the essense of who we are. They are merely superficial physical aspects in this low life that will be completely irrelevant in the ending. Ok... I think my main point, Joining of Nafs supports the above. Peace Happy Rammadan to Every Fasting Moslem

Salam, God has sealed Isa, i.e. authenticated Him Joh 627 Labor not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you for him hath God the Father sealed. The believer in Isa?s words is said to ?set his seal to this, that God is true?, i.e. to attest the veracity of God, to stamp it with the believer's own endorsement and confirmation. Joh 333 He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true. Salam, Arnab Good point. Also we must remember the story of Moses and Khidr in the Koran. Moses was a prophet and God talked to him yet there was another individual that was also a prophet though in a different way. There may be many prophets around today, who knows. But there is still no divine scripture we know of other than Koran and the previous scriptures as outlined in the Koran. All the prophets were to be obeyed but before that they must provide their signs and evidences of prophecy for us to follow, if not we can't be expected to know. Muhammad's sign was the Koran and it is with us to this day. So we follow it if the signs are evidence forus as is the case with most Koranist who believe the Koran verifies itself. But we must also accept ALL the prophets in the Koran and ALL the previous scriptures asmentioned in the Koran and not develop a Sunnah of only one of them and claim the others were abrogated. Like Jesus came to confirm Moses and the Torah, the Koran came to confirm, not abrogate, the prophets of the past and the scriptures that were left behind them and their followers.

peace Arnold, Thanks for the info. I have updated the www.studyquran.org site.

Peace Adley I do not know any place where you can buy it. But nearly all Qurans from the ancheint period were Abu Amr. Also classical authorites considered it the best Qirat. Research by certain scholars shows it is the most accurate and likely the closest to prophet Muhammad's Quran. Lareb
