General Issues / Questions

there would be many problems in believing that lot was offering his daugthers and 1 of them would be numbers! were the number of daughters same as the number of men out there? what about the rest of men if the group outnumbered the daughters? it clearly says 'qawmahu'! which father would offer his daugthers to men who are craving for men...just so that those men do not sin? like already pointed out, would it be fair unto those daughters to have to accede to such a preposterous proposal by their father? does god not give women the right to choose whom they want to marry? or were lot's daugther inanimate objects which a thoughtless father would hand over to a bunch of crazed adulterers? what would be the future of such a marriage? would that be anything having to do with islam? all the more coming from a prophet?

Peace all, suicide bombing is an act of dispair and ignorance. Their inention of defending their country and people is just. Regarding this point , they feel desperate. Their reaction of killing the innocents is evil and is fed by ignorance, no matter which idealogical tag is attached to it. peace,

Peace bro "AB", Thanks bro yes you are right 318 was my mistake you code 19 followers are really good at counting wink Peace JK- Praise be to GOD. I believe GOD wanted to show a sign in a similar way he showed bros Edip Yuksel and Rashad Khalifa. They too took the count of the word "Allah" initially to be 2698 inc 9129, without realizing that together with 9129 it should have been 2699. This was realized only years later. Maybe if RK and Edip came up with 2699 they would not have believed theres a pattern based on no. 19 in the Quran and this would remain hidden for perhaps another 1000 yrs, who knows. So Praise be to GOD. GOD Bless!

Peace Layth, I like the new forum. Peace, Tay

(Q) TILAAWAH (RECITATION) OF THE NOBLE QUR'AN QUESTION Huroof Al-Muqatta'aat and Ayaat Al-Mutashaabihaat contain neither a command nor any principle of Islamic Law. When we se e no benefit in them as far as Islamic Law is concerned, do we still have to recite such verses or not? Why did Allah include them in the Noble Qur'an from which we cannot derive any rules or commands, when in Mr. Parwez's view the Qur'an is just only a Book of Law? ANSWER The verses of Quran are divided in two types Mokhamaat and motashabahat (3/6). Mokhamaat are those in which we take the real meaning of words. For example in the subject of nikkha/marriage Quran says Haramat alekum umaathukum(4/23) "your mothers are haram for you". Here uma will be taken in real meaning of "mother". In other place Quran says Mukamaat verses are umul kitab (3/6). Here the meaning of umm will not be real mother but it will be base or foundation so the verse is in the allegorical or symbolic form. SUMMA ASTWA ALALARSH (7/54) "God sat on arsh". HERE the meaning will not be that God sat on ceremonial chair but it will be God has ultimate power or HE IS THE ONLY AUTHORITY. With the passage of time the knowledge of human being will increase and reciprocally the meanings and understanding of motashbahaat will be more clearer and will convert into mokhamaat. Haroof Maqtahat are the abbreviations used to describe the attributes of God or used to address the last Prophet. Most of the muslim scholars and muslims thinks or says the meanings of Haroof Maqtahat are not known to anyone except God. This concept is not correct because it is against the message of Quran. God says for the Book,it is crystal clear (MUBEEN), it is fully detailed and self explanatory (MUFASIL) and has no doubt or ambiguity (LA-RAIB). It will contradictory to all its above given claims if we will say some of its meanings are known to God only. Almost at thirteen(13) places in Quran the Arabs asked the questions (YASALONAKA) from the Prophet about the things which they were not knowing or their concepts were wrong. For example they asked, what is RIBA, what is ANFAAL, what is KHUMAR, how they should spend their money but interestingly they never asked about these Harroof Maqtahat like what is Alif Laam Meem. The reason is very simple, they were knowing what God is saying. One thing should be clear, in Arabic language it is not necessary the abbreviations should start with the initial letters, these can start with middle or last letter of the word. For example in word Baseer, the abbreviation will not start with letter BAY, it will start with letter Suaad. We will mention the full words of these abbreviations and where in Quran these are used. Alif-Lamm- Meem (Chapter 2,3,29,30,31,32) Aleem and Hakeem. Alif-Laam-Meem-suaad (Chapter 7) Aleem,Hakeem and Baseer. Alif-Laam-Raa (Chapter 10.11,12,14,15) Aleem and Raheem. Alif-Lamm-Meem-Raa (Chapter 13) Aleem, Hakeem and Raheem. Kaaf-Hhey-Yeh-An-Suaad (chapter 19) Kareem, Hadi, Heye, Aleem and Baseer. -Tuaa (Chapter 20) O, Mukhatib ( addressee). It was used to address Prophet Mohammed. Letter "Tho-a" is used in word MUKHATIB. -Tuaa,Seen,Meem (Chapter 26,2 Thool, Samee and Aleem. -Tuaa,Seen (Chapter27) Thool and Samee. -Ya-seen (Chapter 36) O, human( A INSAAN) used to address Prophet Mohammed. -Suaad (Chapter 3 Sadaqat (Truth) Quran itself is witness on this truth. -Hey-Meem (Chapter 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46) Hakeem and Aleem. -Kaaf (Chapter 50) Kaf (stop and listen ). -Noon (Chapter 68 )Noon was used in picture form language for ink, sword and fish. Zun-noon is used for Prophet Younus to denote his relation with fish. Here we can used NOON for "ink" due to its close relation to Qalam ( Noon wa Qalam). Noon can be used for "sword" and Qalam for Quran itself. Both Quran and sword protect each other. Quran control sword so it should not be dictator and breaking the rules of power. Sword protect Quran so it should not be in the lecture form only, it has to be implemented on the land for power. An-Meem (O'Prophet) Do you know ( MALOOM). Maloom contains both letters "An and Meem". The English translation of these abbreviations are given below. One thing should be kept in mind, translation of Arabic words in any language is not able to express the depth and understanding of the words which is itself hidden in its original form. ALEEM having extreme deep unlimited knowledge. HAKEEM who created, runs, and control the all universes in right and balance path. BASEER can see continuously every thing anywhere and anytime. RAHEEM providing nourishment continuously for the forward progress(progressive evolution). KAREEM giving benefits while keeping the dignity and honour of humanity. HADI Guide(n),who guide in right direction. SAMEE listener http//www.galaxydastak.com/cgi-bin/forum/webbbs_config.pl?read=314123119136004

Salaam Alleikum Tanveer I always aviod downloads because these programs gain access to my server. I downloaded Real Media because wanted to watch these videos.

peace zlatan, Frederic Bastiat has brought forward the best definition so far toward my best knowledge Brilliant indeed ) peace.

Salaams Anwar, You said "I have heard this many times. What is this "true Islam"?" It?s the struggle for "PEACE AND SECURITY FOR ALL - I THINK". Instead those who are labeling themselves ?Muslim? are but idol worshippers, sorry to say and that is the reason for the rotten state they are in, they will stay in it as long as they don?t stick with the principles laid out in the great book ? the quran ,for success and prosperity. you said "And what is the point of this?" I want for you what i want for me - thats the point of that. God Bless.

Tay .. Salaams Alaikum / Peace I agree with everything you've said. As for Samina's original post .. I'm not sure if she was trying to make her atheist friend believe exactly as she did. Perhaps she was only trying to answer his questions according to her belief. Allah Bless.

Thank you all, its interesting to hear that others feel similar to I. Peace khalil. fantastic post. D ! I agree with these findings. Also know that the filter to all knowledge that comes our way should be our own conscience... D Yes mos definitely, if it doesn't uplift the heart then put it down. keep the "ripe I" which will make you feel that you are God's servant, His devotee, and that God is the Doer and you are His instrument . NIce reminder. )

Any historian/political scientist here. I was just wondering whether its cool for a Muslim to accept a nighthood and what are the implications? peace The implications are tremendeous, as the royals are representing the vatican, always did and will for as long as we all accept it,and dont realise what these filthy people are doing. You will be knighted under the crown, wich is no no number 1. 1.there is no authority but God, being knighted means you acknowledge the kings authority 2.The king is himself crowned under the cross, or the crown of the corona. Either way its deeply rooted in hethonism, this too you accept is ok. If you want the list of occult implications, along with an explanation drop me a mail. and we have have a chat about it. peace

Peace bmbmm. I dont like animal experiments. shock ...I would rather eat the mouse. ! D wink Make sure you 100% halal it 1st ?

Peace all.. My understanding about the above on-going discussion is We have a complete book called the Quran ( Reading) Within the Quran, there are certain ayats which are indicated as the Ayats of the Kitab. Within the Quran, there are certain Ayats indicated as the Ayats of Hikmah. The Quran is also desribed as containing the Furqan ( Criterion). Same was the case with the previous scriptures. What makes us confused is that we take the Kitab as the whole of the scripture ( i.e. the Quran) where as the kitab in only a part (certain ayats) of the Quran. regards Rahila

Peace Agentxxx. I like your definition of; love=care for...Excellent! I believe a big part of loving yourself(taking care of yourself.) involves loving others.(taking care of others.) You can learn to take care of yourself by taking care of others. D Peace all.

peace brothers, thank you for the link Arnold... o

Salaams, Yes the following is better, according to sugestions The Quranic Way.(i believe). Faith in One God. Faith in the Hereafter. Doing deeds of charity. Discussing and considering all of the Opinions, and sticking with the decisions/s reached. ..........Salaat. Keeping in mind Gods and Mans laws so no one has objections ?accept the wicked. ...............Msjid-Al-Haraam. Keeping talking fasts when we go off track from the above. .....Ramadhan. No sex without a marriage. ......Noah's Ark. Learning a trade(s) for earning a honest living. ..........Bait-Al-Haraam or Al-Hajj.

Peace all, I See three ways in this discussion 1- First the discussion of our natural history and how our ancestors behaved and other like species. ( having sex for example, other animals have, our ancestors also and so do we) 2- Secondly, what would be JUST and ALLOWED for us to do , in the sense of giving recognition to justice. (for example you can kill somebody which have killed your child). 3- Third, what if we decide to ascend tha natural behavior (for example trying to survive is natural but what if I become ready to die in the fight for rescuing the life of other people or you decide to forgive someone who has killed your child). These I consider divine. They transcend the natural and the just. I see the discussion of eating and what we eat in all three parallels. I am not quite sure if I have chosen the best examples to convey the idea. peace
