    Peace Sure, but forgive me I have to reply to Samia Samia, you Qouted the following Please, before Quoting, read what you are Quoting. What you quoted was a refrance to verse 20-47. Here how verse 20-47 looks like in MY QURAN ( Your Quote refers to One Rassol, and the Quran Quote refers to "Two Rassol" Peace every body I want to clairfy a mistake in my post that I did Unintentionally Samia was right in here quotation; there is another verse in chapter 26 (verse 16) that I overlooked, which says what Samia Quoted (Please forgive me Samia) (&#65279 In verse (26-16) Both (Haroon and Moses) were ordered by God to say "Ena Rassolo", which means "we are one Rasool". I can not comment in this verse yet and its meaning untill I search it more; but for the time being, please forgive me for my mistake. (and I hope God will forgive me hail) peace

    Well said. Brings to mind one of Clarke's laws The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible... "As three laws were good enough for Newton, I have modestly decided to stop there." lol I like this by Mister Arthur C Clarke

    Hi Br, Where(i think i have missed it)- can you point it out please Br. Thanks. Well join the dots A Believer obeys God, observes his limits, does good deeds and prays not to be punished on the Day of widespread woes. God tells us Good deeds to do so that our bad deeds are overlooked and so that we benefit from them in the Hereafter God classifies the believers as such "But such as come to Him as Believers who have worked righteous deeds,- for them are ranks exalted,-" So God is giving us a target to aspire to. As submitters we are trying to get closer to God in faith and good deeds so we will be classed among the believers. People with sense do so. It is a necessity to do good deeds (charity etc) to be a believer. They are duties we must do as pious people. But people do not do it out of laziness or fear of loss of wealth etc. There is no compulsion in the religion but at the same time, being a believer and doing good deeds are mutually exclusive because as believers you should be aspiring for God's good pleasure whilst fearing/respecting his punishment. If you do not do good deeds then you do not really fear/respect God nor his punishment and which leads to only aspiring for this world with know real faith in the Hereafter, therefore you do not really believe, hence mutually exclusive. In other words once you become a believer, you are Compelled to do good deeds. Whether you do them or not is your loss. Whereas England is moralless, there are no limits to anything in society, whether its homosexual parenting, 13+ teenagers leaking out on the streets where I have a heightened fear for my life where I live or sexual objectivity it is a society that makes it harder to do good deeds. When I'm in central london (richest part of london) I still see homeless people on the streets, refugees missing limbs selling the big issue. Now I give them money to go to the shelter, or I buy food for them, or just give them whatever money I have - I'm not asking for praise for this or asserting my own righteousness - whilst EVERYONE (I mean everyone) else walks by or looks down in almost pure hatred and scorn at the beggar and the poor. 'And when it is said unto them "Spend of that wherewith Allah hath provided you", those who disbelieve say unto those who believe "Shall we feed those whom Allah, if He willed, would feed? Ye are in naught else than error manifest."' 3647 You may say and believe that the powers that be are helping the disenfranchised but society at large does not give a damn about anyone and everyone will continue squandering and hating the less fortunate untill misfortune touches them. Then they are the first on their knees. That is what the british system propagates. The believers will willingly propagate what is good, because they aspire for the good in the Hereafter. The secular societies HAVE no aspirations for the hereafter, its all here and now, and its every man woman for itself, and since there is no God watching over us, they can do whatever they want to do, and run amok. Peace

    Wrong, the Zoroastrians are referred to as the Magians in the Qur'an. There is one reference I can find urely those who believe and those who are Jews and the Sabeans and the Christians and the Magians and those who associate (others with Allah)-- surely Allah will decide between them on the day of resurrection; surely Allah is a witness over all things. 2217 They existed in that time. God is saying he will tell all the different religions/belief systems whats what on the Day of Resurrection.

    First of all .. any attempt to change or remake the Quran will not succeed, so I am not really bothered by these idiots who think they can come up with a book better than GOD and can change the Quran in any way, shape or form. When God has taken the protection of the Quran in His own Hands ... who do you think will be able to "change" it? I laugh at these fools and what they try to achieve by becoming GOD themselves .. to hell with them and their followers. Try and change it and see what happens to those that change it and those that aid and abet in their endeavor .... destruction will be sent on them from directions they and we CANNOT perceive .......... you people are stupid even to discuss that the Quran can be changed! or that it has to come in line with the "reality" you see in this world which will soon be engulfed by the Wrath of GOD. Peace

    There is no Shahadah ...... it means to witness .. can you witness GOD?? ... you can witness for GOD .. but you CANNOT witness Him .... look at the words, they are the same but the meaning is different. Can you witness Mohammad?? where do you see him?? ... I do not see him or GOD or any other messengers today. So ..... you believe with GOD alone .. to be Muslim. you Believe with GOD and ALL His Angels and ALL HIS Books and ALL HIS Messengers and the Day of Judgement and "Listen and Obey the Quran" and ask for forgiveness from God .... to be a BELIEVER! PEACE

    Prejudice is when you impose your own view on what God has written to turn it your own way ....... prejudice is when you hear a view that does not correspond to your own view even if the Quran states clearly that you are wrong. Prejudice is not whether you like black, white, brown, yellow, green, Chinese, American, Arab, European, Honey, sugar, water, food, running, jogging , walking, animals, birds, the sea, the sun, the moon, the stars, your children, your wealth, your work, your friends, your family, your neighbor ... or NOT! thats your choice as long as you do no harm intentionally and be just with them. "JUST" does NOT mean good all the time ..... as GOD has shown us several times in the past and will show us again very soon ...... so wait with patience and repel the unbelievers and the Mushrikeen with good arguments.

    Do you people just say that "God is enough for me" when GOD has told us He has forgotten nothing in the Book ... why must we read the crap mere humans write to understand faith. Go read what the mere humans write about electricity, Physics, Gravity, Matha ........ but if you are ture beleivers read NOTHING but the Quran for Faith and the Torah and Bible tp make certain what youa re reading is the truth and .... think, understand, ponder and know. Are they not going to ponder over the Quran or are their hearts under locks???

    Wakas, How do you say that you do not agree that salat means Prayer How many times have you read "Aqamas salata wa atawuzakata" in the Quran .... go and read it if you have any doubts. GOD tells us "Be firm in Prayer and bring purity" that is our salvation after we believe with GOD. Read Bayyanah verse 5 ... that clearly states what our Religion is ...... "and not were they ordered except to serve GOD, exclusively to HIM is the way (Religion) true and that they be firm in prayer and bring purity, and that is the way standing" The way of my father Abraham the true, and he was not of the mushrikeen. I am not just confident about what I say ... I KNOW, and very few that I meet have a clue of what I tell them. I have surely been guided by my Lord to the way standing, the nation of Abraham the true, and he was not of the mushrikeen. Most of mankind is in schism ... and the so called "Muslims" are the worst of the three with the book of God in their hands. But wait ...... the promise comes ..... all we can do is wait .... I too wait .. so you keep waiting and do not argue with one who knows before you have wisdom and knowledge of the book. I can explain the whole book to you word by word and verse by verse and the hidden meanings behind them ........ not my accomplishment ... God choses whosoever HE wishes and guides ...... I just happen to be one of them ......

    sorry not really sure what your point is...if this is not it, please correct me. It?s in Muslim interest to bring back information of the golden era, when they gave more importance to education and liberation. eh...whats that got to do with adulterers being stoned to death and women not being allowed to drive in ksa and non muslims seeing this and thinking "oh that's islam in practice?" and muslims going "yes this is certainly islam in practice, we have scholars you know, and hadith with a verifiable chain of narrators and sound scientific evidence to back up our claims, mashallah". Muslims have brought open themselves decline due to wrong practises they adopted and also as a result of the destruction of valuable books and scholars during the inquisition. are you trying to say that non-muslims should look at certain periods in islamic history that are recognized by some as being a "golden age" and judge islam from this, only they can't because non-muslims have purposely obliterated this from the text books to steer people from the path..? Yes it is important to look back and reinforce what you want the world to see. Look at the Jews who, despite being on top of the world and enjoying security, concentrate all their effort on regularly bringing to the attention of the world what happened to the Jews during the holocaust but that doesn?t stop them from creating a jail for Palestinians on their land. peace

    Sunnis follow the alleged SUNNA (way) of the Messenger and many of them do not read the Qur'an in a language they can understand. A muslim is someone devoted wholly to God and "hear and obey" His Message delivered to Muhammad or the other Messengers/Prophets with the sole duty of the Messenger to deliver the message clearly. Ask any Sunni if they have read and understood the Qur'an, you'll see the difference. This is something I recently overlooked but its blindingly obvious how sects appear and grow dominant once you read the Qur'an and its frightening that God said this would happen and it has come to pass.
