Mufti Abu layth ji is a very humble and liberal scholar. Wakas bro,u should make Quran oriented Youtube channel.

The quality of thoughts that people harbor is what benefits them. 100% Agree. Harboring anger within, you shall 'benefit' from the anger within you. Harboring hatred within, you shall 'benefit' from the hatred within you. Harboring pride within, you shall 'benefit' from the pride within you. And it works the same way with the opposite, harboring love within, you shall benefit from the love within you. etc.. You are what you truly are inside. Back to 'salary' not being paid by an employer. There is no need to hate or be angry at the employer, because such feelings will only caused additional sufferings. Prepare all the evidences, go to the court, sue the employer, But do it with love, love for the other employees who has experienced of salary not being paid (I assumed there must be many others if it's truly the habits of the employer) and potential employees who might suffer of being employed by the employer in the future. And do it as love for the employer as well, it's a way of telling the employer that what they do might potentially hurt other people, the employer must be just to the work contract as agreed. Otherwise the employer might face hatred and anger from other employee, and their business will not grow as the employer has initially planned or dreamed of. If one do it with love he/she can easily overcome any hurdles or fear that potentially faced him/her. Because he/she feel 'pleasant' inside, when he/she feel pleasant 'inside' then he/she shall recognize no fear.

Peace Sorry I messed up somewhere.Dear Jafar,my point has become embedded in the above post.Kindly give your thoughts on it especially any ayats from the Quran. Regards

Absolutely! Say your Mum or Da were Atheist? What would you say? Would you pray for them? (think back to Prophet Ibrahim)? We have free will to choose our path, we can feel bad for our family that we grew up with, or we can feel sorry for them and choose God? It's up to you? Who do you return to?

Concerns! I have concerns! There are barely any Believers in the UK! Major concern for me at least! (

Thanx for sharing ur thoughts n experinces. I agree with you all.

I am a little confused, so I have the following questions 1- Have you been authorised to teach Qoran by the author of Qoran? 2- Or are you saying you can teach the language that gives access to Qoran? 3- How can your tutors give guidance? Does GOD delegate His guidance through them only? 4- GOD has not charged a penny for giving us Qoran, can one use Qoran to make money from people? 5-Does GOD have a role in your academy? GOD teaches Qoran and explains Qoran, or does He not? Thanks and awaiting your reply. GOD bless you. Peace.

IWhat is a clear definition of exotic art? Is a drawing of "pornography" an exotic art? At the end of the day one can say it does not matter what definition you give it ,it exists and has its customers like all other habits of the humans. So it is a personal taste ,one can only argue if it is "good2 or " bad". As for Qoran , the objective of its message is to develop the soul. Exotic art is a "body"-this life s desire-habit, therefore it should automatically irrelevant like other body desires. This is my opinion of course.. As for us being in situations where we find ourselves looking at "exotic art by accident, then there is no choice or harm in looking .If the mind is not interested, then it would be the same as looking at a streaker or naked people going by. The intentions and actions are the ones that determine the right or wrong of things. GOD bless. Peace.

Peace jafar. You may say this,quote EXCEPT The messenger from the 'dark' sources, given ego predominate their thought processes and pride came as derivation of such thought. A proper response from the 'destination party' (eg praise, submission) to feed their crave of 'superiority' is required by the messenger. However, some humble messengers in history have never claimed anything but the message, yet people have elevated them and put them where they never wanted to be . It is the common folks that are hell bent on Putting other beings up there with the creator. Just like they put other material /properties/sports/wealth as "gods" Other folks belittle /ridicule the message that you say is the most important thing. This mainly happens after they presecute the messengers and give them hell. Then after they kill them or die they "idolise" them. Me, I agree that neither the messenger nor the message should be idolised. We should just get on with following the "good instructions/advice" if there are any in the message to better our lives. GOD bless you brother. Peace.

Peace All. I find that us humans put GOD in situations invented /assumed from our knowledge and warped logic that has limits like all our universe and existence has limits. This is partly why we struggle with our understanding of GOD s omnipotence, realm and omnipresence. First we need to put our head around who GOD is and why GOD has overall control, knowledge and the complete picture Then we need to understand who we are and why our reality and universe.have limits . For example If GOD does everything how can we say we have free will? And this is the problem that many struggle with. So who is GOD? This requires that we need to understand an important and strong fact that there can only be one GOD that has no origin and does everything Put simply GOD was, is and will be for ever, knows everything there is to know and does everything He plans to do. That is independent of all other beings/things that exist where ever GOD has put them. Now we come to GOD s creatures,part of GOD s plan is to create. Whatever GOD creates has to have a limit, it cannot be "another god" by definition of the "true GOD". Hence we, GOD s creatures that are here with a purpose to choose our destiny, regardless of what GOD knows or does. GOD has promised this to us in this life. To summarise, there are two sides to this coin, as far as we are concerned is one side and as far as GOD is concerned is the other side. GOD set up laws and rules that allow us to exercise our free will of choices and decisions No one ,in this life can testify or witness that GOD is forcing anyone to choose . or make decisions that they do not agree with. The fact that GOD knows the future and everything( By definition of the GOD) is not going to affect our free will. The part that people do not get is "The GOD" knows everything and does everything. That is part of who the GOD is.. So mostly we do not accept that GOD knows what we do. We are thinking in our human ways and ignoring who GOD is and why nothing will be existing without GOD. Part of "Islam to GOD" is accepting that GOD knows everything and does what he wants..i.e To accept "The only GOD" as a true and only power. Hence in the verses , GOD is addtressing those who accept He does everything. Those who do not, well they have other choices. We each earn our destiny through our choices and decisions. GOD is never unjust to anyone. GOD bless you all. Peace

Salam, I would say categorically "no". God's signs are quite destructive when they come and are very clear to understand. This virus is more like a trade/political tool being thrown around between nations and everyone is just suffering from the political fallout and money grabbing by pharma companies and interest groups.

So we should not feel sorry when someone is in pain. Then why should we help anyone to get better in any situation? It doesn't mean you should or shouldn't do any of that. First of all, so I'm not misunderstood I'll develop my initial post. By pain I mean everything from discomfort to actual pain, and pleasure everything from comfort to the greatest pleasures. Take these examples Containing one's anger is painful while expressing it is pleasurable Containing one's sexual desire is painful while expressing it is pleasurable. Containing one's hatered is painful while expressing it is pleasurable. Most of the "virtues" in practice have to do with this pain/pleasure dynamic, wherein to be virtuous you have to let go of the little bit of pleasurable and endure the little bit of pain in order to improve. There is nothing inherently righteous in pleasure, or in wealth or in life, as there is nothing inherently vile in pain, or in poverty, or in death. It is our actions that we deem good or bad based on our understanding of good and bad. Now to answer what you said "So we should not feel sorry when someone is in pain" Feeling sorry is something that happens instinctively, it is as low as that, nothing impressive about it. Now to understand someone's pain is something else. "Then why should we help anyone to get better in any situation?" We should help when we judge it is right for us to "help". Many times we think we're helping when we're not helping at all. To properly and efficiently help someone you have to understand them and understand their issue. to "help" someone out of pity to appease yourself is not that impressive of a deed in my opinion.

Because, how can you be thankful if you don't know if what happened happened because of your prayer? Sometimes I ask for something, and it happens, then I'm happy and thankful, and then after some time I see it wasn't actually what I thought it was. So, you get confused. For example if you ask for rain, and it rains, but maybe it's not because of your prayer. Maybe it would rain anyway, or for some other reason. So how will you be specifically thankful? Indeed if you attach your state of happiness to something then you will definitely be confused. Scenario A (Your thought process) I wish for rain, then it rain, but was it because of my wishing? perhaps it's because of other people's wish? or it will rain anyway whether no one wish it or not? End Results Not Grateful -> No Happiness even though it rain. Scenario B ( The reversal, the muslim way a.k.a the way of acceptance) Whether it will rain or not I will accept it and I will be grateful. End Results Grateful and Happy regardless of the event. "Let Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven". -- Jesus "Attachment is a strong, uncontrollable desire that causes suffering" -- Siddhartha

Dear Ilma, The odds are in your favor as, as long as you don't get disqualified by committing Shirk/Idolatry. The good deeds carry multiples of 10x, while the bad deeds carry no multiple (see 6160).

Peace MrDecember, Perhaps not answering your question but if you would love to have the physical copy because reading from physical copy is more convenient for you than from pdf, then you might want to take a look on our website https//www.personalquran.com. We have TMG 2019 version there so you can do word search against TMG 2019 version. If we have TMG 2017 version in our website, you can even do side by side comparison between the two to really find out the delta (basically the website allows choosing 10 different translations for side by side reading) but at the moment we don't have it because we think the TMG 2019 version is more updated and improved. Peace, Personal Quran Thank you for this resource. I haven't been able to check it because it requires signing-up, but it sounds good. Why do you require signing up to read the Quran and use these tools?

Salam jkhan, I am not a fan of flat earth or fake moon landing theories - so excuse me if I skip that part. The Qur'an tells us that as a sign of the nearing of the Hour, the moon will be "inshaq" (541) The word "inshaq" is used as "tear", but is also used in Arabic as "reached/breached" For example you can say "inshaq Al-Fajr" (the dawn has been reached) https//www.almaany.com/

peace, Quran recognises people's faith/certainty/resolve will vary somewhat, increasing/decreasing etc. Try this http//mypercept.co.uk/articles/Does_God_Exist_home.htm Atheists tend to think science has disproved God but actually at most it is claimed to show there is no need for a God (i.e. we can explain our existence without a God). When you research deeper into it you will find a lot of their key views are not falsifiable and could be termed beliefs, e.g. they cannot explain prior to the big bang, something from nothing, the fine-tuning of our universe forcing them to resort to the multiverse idea etc. Quran does have various challenges within it. It did spark a revolution to the people it was revealed to, turning them into leaders of the world. Something worth pondering.
