    thanks kevynbello for your input. Alen, you are absolutely right as you say god is independent. i used the term "their" to explain this "salaam" situation as it is practiced within a group, because, cause then becomes as if "god" is theirs! peace, rifat

    The fact that the Kabbah is referred to as God's House in Islam is just symbolic. But this Holy symbol helps all Muslims to unite in prayer all over the globe by facing towards one position. ????????????? There is no such thing as "Kabbah is just symbolic" and than "Holly symbol". If something is symbolic it can not be holly. This defies common sense. Muslims united???!!!!!!!! brickwall

    We may not live to see a thousand years from now with our existing system...but definitely we can project how it will look like if we do. Views regarding saddam today are divided on wether he is a "hero" or a "Villain"...but I can imagine many will give him the status of hero, just like the fella in This Show. It is known fact that he killed. It is known fact that he maimed. It is known he used his position to further his personal desires. It is known fact he died saying the Shahada, and therefore to many Sunni Iraqis ''a courageous muslim''. It is known fact he fired scud missile into Israel. It is known fact that he claims to be a uniter of all arabs and muslims. He is practically given the status of the "Shahaba" as the video depicts. No wonders if in 1400 years time he will be called one of the "Ashraf El Mursaleen"...Saddamism is rising by the day, and people may soon shout....Saddamism is the fastest rising religion in the world....and they will fight whenever he is insulted...they will burn flags whenever he is depicted and they will say I sacrifice my Mom and dad for you...Oh Saddam and of course the generation born in that era (1400 years from now), will support him because it is being passed down to them with intimidation...and they blindly refuse to resort to historical accounts.

    Salam Kurt.. and likewise.. At the end of it all, we know that we will stand alone in front of Allah to be judged. There will be no excuses.. and no one to interceed for us when the Day comes... we cannot blame the drama of this world as a reason for us to fall off the Path of God... This world's drama is there for the individual soul to learn from.. not so much for us to fall so deep into that... it takes over our sense of what is Right and wrong... as I've seen on this site... folks calling for the blood of others.... -[

    peace i'm sure we do have free will it's just that God knows us, He knows what we're like and what we would do in certain situations. The choice we make is ours and i think God just guids us to that situation so that we would say i'll do this or i won't do this.

    Salam. Actually, brother Pazuzu, you are right. This is an excellent idea. You have just given me several ideas for more movies. I'll take it under consideration, because this is something to think about. Excellent idea, brother, really. Jonny_K, trust me, as a director, i think brother Pazuzu is right. This approach would be much more faster, as far as the investors are concerned, it would be safe for us, me, they wouldn't hunt me down like a dog, it would make people pull the lines between this story and the Islam, they would start thinking. Thank you Pazuzu. May The God Almighty reward you with Paradise. May The God protect you all and bless you all and reward you all with Paradise. Peace.

    I don't know. I think it depends on a lot of things. I would try to divide it equally (as the owner of the apple, I should be fair). And if I was hungry, or if I needed food too, I would eat some of that apple. Peace Phoenix I agree that you should have a share yourself. I believe the rest is not in the realm of religion but personal ideology. Zak

    http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=13210.msg110840#msg110840 to be honest i myself dont understand much! -) ...i mean i dont see why god created us...and i am being honest..i dont see the logic behind it! -) Well think if God created us just to serve him!!! Think if we humans are some bricks in a game that God created o He created us with a free will, only or because we could then choose the path we wanted to take. No matter if the path is good or bad. I feel like this life on earth is some kind og strategy game the kids use to play but much bigger and serious because of the alive people in this game. Peace Maria Peace. Dear Maria I was surfing and just spying on ?thegod? profile to find where is his standing when he resounded like this Didn?t took to long when I found your response in his profile http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=13210.msg110840#msg110840 to be honest i myself dont understand much! -) ...i mean i dont see why god created us...and i am being honest..i dont see the logic behind it! -) Well think if God created us just to serve him!!!

I feel like this life on earth is some kind og strategy game the kids use to play but much bigger and serious because of the alive people in this game. Maria Peace Dear Maria Your response reminded me this topic ?YVR created? with few responses. How ever I was thinking how long I know you on the line and my search resulted http//groups.yahoo.com/group/quranistsonline/message/1 then I found the following in links 14-07-2000 To [email protected] From [email protected] Subject Yahoo! Clubs GOD ALONE QURAN ALONE Assalamu Alaikum I will just tell you short that my belief status is I do believe in God alone Quraan alone and I work right now very hard with myself to find the real me! ?.. I revert to islam for about 10 yrs ago and I'm married ? I'm from Sweden in Scandinavia and I'm a white woman raised in a christian family,1 brother and 1 sister my sister is also a muslim. I'm a positive ,happy woman who enjoy the life my lord has given me.Truly thankful to God that I'm muslim and that I have took my chance to move on and not stay on the same place and waiting. I love God and always beg God to guide me on the right path even before I was muslim I used to talk to God He is my one and only true friend. LA ILA HA IL LALLAH 7 years passed and seems it was yesterday. o Since I have been involved in messages of God in Quran feeling the time is passing fast and so busy which never finish. You know my background and how those numbers 1 to 9 could lead me to a beliver which try best to avoid Satan and refuge into God Alone. This visit is not coincidence after a long time and may be an initiative you reconsider those numbers. You do not need numbers to believe in God Alone but if you claim publicly that Quran is words of God then you need solid proof. Some time I notice numbers related to Quran's codes 19 and 7. I consider those as a support for my path. experiences has shown it is not coincidence and only apera as reminder. Just notice your date of sending me email 14 7 2000 you notice 7x2=14 1+4+7+2+0+0+0=14 I think your birth day is 1972 (you can not hide it ) 1+9+7+2= 19 and you notice again here 7x2 How ever the reason I created this topic again because your response is most close to my understanding. Think if we humans are some bricks in a game that God created o You are right just change word of brick with stages in our evolution to return to origin. As God authored not many of us in perviouse generation could be qualified to such level and fewer in later generations. But is does not mean that God do not give chance to those that have tried to be on the straight path and have fought to Satanic desires as far as they can. Those that have been righteous, believing in God Alone and day oif judgement. I personally believe that we have to go trough seven stages in seven earths to return to our origin as invisible creature with knowledge of angels. God created seven universe and seven earth. It took 2/3 time of this creation 4 days took time for God providing living condition on earth. There are another 6 earths waiting for those that are given chance to exist in next life. Each earth has its own limit for improving and qualifying for next. Starting new life in each earth is continuation of previous life . It means that what we learn in first life is with us as we are born or created with processing pervious knowledge which makes us stronger Against Satanic Schemes. I feel like this life on earth is some kind og strategy game the kids use to play but much bigger and serious because of the alive people in this game. You are right by my understanding. Just an example is those spaceships ( robots) li unched into space for performing tasks. Those are the best one after many tests. But yet some of them infected by virus and need to send a message to correct and debug it. We are god and that is our creature using our brain granted by God. Certainly God has created human and all other species for special propose or tasks. Our knowledge at this point can not explain what would be and may be a creation?s secret all the time. Those that love to have a life like believers in a healthy environment with no bloodshed ,no disease, no poverty, Satan Free societies will serve God Alone in this world. But should be careful to use the messages related to time and location. Peace. bahman

    JK- Whos aid that the Quran ignored other important issues? It does contain other important isssues besides this ofcourse but this is extra knowledge and why should it not contain this also? GOD Bless! there are many things that the quran doesn't discuss that would be helpful to us. time dilation is one of those things that does not affect anyone and no one cares about it. it is completely irrelevant to our everyday reality. it might help you better appreciate the design of this universe, but there are thousands of other more obvious examples. So I don't think the quran is talking about time dilation at all. And if it was, why doesn't the quran state these scientific facts clearly and in a straight forward manner? I know that the world book encyclopedia explains time dilation much better than the quran does. And you can't say that these scientific facts are there as proof that the quran is from god. Because that isn't proof. The quran never even mentions something similar to time dilation. For all we know, it could be talking about anything. And there are many books and scriptures from the past that can be made to look divine. Did Nostradamus really predict 9/11? no. But there are people who interpret his words to mean that. The same can be said of the Quran. I don't think there is any room in the quran for these scientific miracles, but I am staying open to this interpretation for now. But whether there are any scientific miracles in the quran or not, they are not important to it's message and the moral lessons which are found in its parables. And that message needs to be verified. Only through verification can we conclude that this is the truth. Not through the finding of scientific miracles.

    Salam and thank you Boost. It's looking like it's headed that way. I'm more leaning that way simply because perhaps the vocalist might be offended that "music" is added to his vocals. Legal reasons in music usually work in funny ways. If people didn't reuse culture, there probably wouldn't be any hip hop today... thanks much for your input.. it's appreciated! i left a link for creative commons above.. here is a decent essay by negative land on "fair use" http//negativland.com/changing_copyright.html food for thought.. peace..

    Peace and greetings, I try my best to follow the verses of Quran as best as I can and seek forgiveness from the God for matters that I misunderstand. Everyone has his/her own personal strengths and weaknesses so different people may view some complex/difficult/hard Quranic commandments from different angles. Two things are most important to note i.e. information and honesty. Keep oneself well informed about almost every issue by self study and group discussion. Be honest when evaluating one's experience which must be done in a wise way. For any shortfalls one should not despair but seek for wisdom and knowledge from the God and Seek forgiveness for personal weaknesses. Chapter 2 He grants wisdom to whom He chooses, and whoever is granted wisdom, has been given much good. Only those with understanding will remember. Chapter 33 We have offered the trust to the heavens and the Earth, and the mountains, but they refused to bear it, and were fearful of it. But the human being accepted it; he was unjust, ignorant.

    Peace brother Ahmed, for the first time I agree with you 100% o elektro Just kidding ! handshake I think you agreed with me twice before also ! (virgin birth of Jesus, and "Lord alone" in 1746) I would also like to thank you for convincing me from al-qur'aan that "Akbar" is one of the names of The God. Please read the following recent thread where I tried to convince others http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=13026.0 Perhaps you can add your comments to that thread ?

    Peace "phoenix", peace there will never be a consensus and that shouldn't even be our goal. We're not looking for a compromise on truth. Every individual should be looking for the truth regardless of what others think. JK- I strongly believe there will ultimately be consesus on the meaning of these terms and in a democratic system it is important to get the views of the majority of people and this is exactly how it needs to be done. The prob is in the past individuals never had a chance to give their options. GOD Bless!
