    Is he mentioned in the Quran or any of the later Islamic literature? What about Hadith or Islamic biographies of the Prophet Muhammad? Is he mentioned at all, do Muslims believe in his disputed existence or not?

    If there is any one on here who is currently in Dubai and want to start up a business and in need of a partner, please share the concept. I have been trying to settle into dubai for a year now and I wish i have like minded people for business and can work out on a partnership. It may appear as an ad but I suppose people on here will at least not rob me out of the money or something as this place is not known to many and I hope most of the folks on here are honest in their lives. Cheers

    The Full Moon, the fourteenth day, from the dusk to the dawn of the fifteenth day of the first month. The reasoning behind this finding is at www.zgjidhja.com at the book section - Natural Time Measurement, together with all its Annexes. Remembrance about the Lord who delivered the children of Israel from the cruelty of Pharaoh. The Night when He Decreed this issue together with His angels. The value better than 1000 months. One lifetime on this planet. Peace, and Praise be to God, the Lord of the Worlds. R. P.S. A good idea is to make a list of - intelligent prayers - something which has to do with who you truly are and what you were meant to do in this life. Something about the true freedom of life, free from all that the eyesight can see. In the Service of All-Mighty, Only.

  • The Meaning of the Word - Religion.

    If you check the etymology, you see its arrival to the latin Religare - to bind. In fact, the deepness of that word goes further on Re-ligi-on. In the old Albanian it means Re = New. Ligj = Law. On = Our. So, from - Re-ligi-on - we get New-Law-Our. Our-New-Law = Re-ligi-on So, the real meaning of the word Religion is Our New Law. Praise be to God who removes each flaw. Peace, R.

    I-st Law of Existence Belief dictates the gravity of being. II-nd Law of Existence (of idolatry) If belief is within a form, then hitting of being from that form is inescapable. (Because of the 1st Law). III-rd Law of Existence (of Liberty) If belief is beyond the form, then the influence of that form on the being is non-valuable, (zero). IV-th Law ? The Supreme of Existence When belief is beyond all forms, in that case the being is Zero, liberated from forms, and the Divine Presence flows freely. Note This is Original and Copyrighted work. Thank You. Praise be to God, who has enabled to observe this. Peace, Rinon Hoxha.

  • The Holographic Nature of Creation

    That we live in a holographic reality is angelstrated with the Days of Genesis and the Days we live now. Today is the 29th Day of the 10th Moon of the Natural Year. It is the 5th resting day of this month counting the New Moon Day. Since it is a very good time to contemplate to the word of the Lord, it came to me to inflect that even if a Day in the time of Genesis did not last as a today?s Day, it is still a precise unit of measurement. Precise and Perfect. Just a a hologram. One slice of it reflects the whole content of it. 6 days work. 1 rest. Natural Time Measurement study which you may find under - Books - at www.zgjidhja.com goes in depth with this. Noone really knows how long was a day in Genesis, because noone was there besides God. When the first human was ready, everything was already ready for him. Judging with Holy Scriptures and not excluding any of them, in Koran one may find a few verses saying 325 He arranges matters from the heaven to the earth, then it ascends to Him in a day which is equivalent to one thousand of the years which you count. 704 The angels and the Spirit ascend to Him in a day which is equivalent to fifty thousand years. Okay, so how many years a Day of Genesis lasted? Are we to use the 704 as measurement or 325? Let?s see Genesis as well 12 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. So, comparing 12 of Genesis with the two above-mentioned verses, makes more sense that a Day of Genesis is equivalent to 50.000 Years, because the Spirit is involved in both. And, with the simplest arithmetic this Universe was created in 300.000 years. In addition, counting the resting day equals 350.000 years totally. 754 Your Lord is God who has created the heavens and the earth in six days, then then assumed all authority. The night runs away from the day, which seeks it continually; and the sun and the moon and the stars are commissioned by His command; to Him is the creation and the command. Glory to God, Lord of the worlds. Peace, R.

    Finding your place through grace - Excerpt from the book With Your Step Towards Your Liberty The more false the person, the more it hates the truth. IT, because it has become a thing. No more human. Humanity is about originality. Mass production is what false stuff is about. In any place of the world, true people are minority. Most are corrumpt and wicked. This is the truth, the naked one. Hence, in those circumstances, the first step is not to be part of that circus. Psalms Blessed is the man that does not sit in the council of the wicked. Corrumptions are many kinds. Here where I live the most frequent one is dishonesty, stealing and the false pride. Then there is the other part of the medal, a group who people that claim that have value because they do not steal. Excuse me. Not stealing is not a value, it is naturalness. But when the quality of judgment decreases, the quality of life decreases with it. Hence, improving the quality of judgment requires constant challenge of your own limits of judgment, first. Grace melts the limits of your being. Like the sun that melts the ice. Shams-i Tabrizi said that people of hell are cold. Yes, they are. Dead in their bodies. Intelligence is when you piss of yourself before the world pisses you of. Because, it will. It will always be ready to challenge at the points you haven?t challenged yourself. No matter how much you think you are fortified, it will find the way to kick you ass. And that is no pleasure at all. When you know the Truth one to one, you become zero. Because two ones cannot exist, as Rumi said. Nothing, except God, One. From One to Zero and Nothing, from where everything comes and you do what you were meant to. The world is set up in such a way that it constantly tries to seduce your senses away from your own heart. That way the world owns you heart. However ownership cannot belong to what didn?t produce the ship and while it is a spaceship itself that moves billions of people simultaneously in the own path and relating perfectly with the other bodies of this Universe and other Universes together. So, to gather more info you have to let go info. Yep. Information is In-Form-ation, inside the form, whereas the true knowledge resides beyond any traditional form of consideration, hence, outformation. Senses are the instrument of the soul as the rivers are part of the sea. Orienting them towards you heart lets you know the points where the instrument of divine breath is blocked. So, with change and heartfelt prayer everything keeps opening until your earth becomes your heaven. The more you pray, the less you become prey. Heaven and hell begin right in this world, unlike religions preach. This world will do everything it can just to let not you know who you really and truly are. This is the only trick of this world Preventing your own real and honest self. How it does that? ? By driving you in the paths that don?t fulfill you, but promise fulfillment. By using your own desire to drive to an endless desert. By giving you titles that you don?t own. By making you do what you were not meant to. By making you serve anything but the source of all intelligence. So,?. God please tell me who I am, so I may know who You are. Who are you? How deep do you know yourself? Are you your mind or your mind is only a instrument of your being? Are you your eyes or eyes are just an instrument of your seeing? Are you your hearing or your ears are just an instrument of your listening? Take a piece of paper and write down the answers and contemplate to all these questions Who am I? What am I? How am I when I define myself with words? How am I when I don?t define myself with words? How am I when I cannot define myself with words? How am I when I don?t need words to describe myself. How am I when words cannot describe me? Who am I in that moment? How do I know myself when I am that I am? Who I am when the world cannot define me anymore, nor by status, nor ideology, nor groups, nor parties, nor folders, nor files, nor flag, nor grade, nor school grade, nor profession, nor possession, nor ??.anything that the mind conceives? How am I naked without my mind clothing my being? How am I naked without my mind clothing my seeing? How am I naked without my mind dictating my hearing? How am I without the I think I am? How am I when nothing is in me while everything flows through me? How am I when I am? How am I not when I am not? How am I not when I am? How am I when I am not? How am I and what I do? Did you write all the answers? Go back, again. So????..this is a game to make your mind surrender completely, so your being may be complete and without need for the world to fill in the gaps. Because the world cannot fill the gaps of your being. Only what has created you in your mom?s womb can do it in the first and last place. Incomplete people try to use the world to complete themselves. It is like using the cotton to work on the earth. It is like trying to use the toothpick to find the goldmine. It happens because it?s always a longing. A longing long to get filled. As a thirsty man in a desert. However, precisely the world is the desert of the being when the Lord is not the light of your seeing. That?s why most people run after diplomas and positions with the hope to become somebody their mind is selling. But, the mind sells your soul first. Therefore empty your mind so it cannot sell anymore anything. Because only when no thing is within you, you can think things through. Praise be to God. Thank you. Peace, R. P.S. Make the product so good, that it sells itself, and you don?t have to speak a word about it. With Your Step Towards Your Liberty -

    Where does manipulation happen? All manipulation happens in the deepest brain. Emotions are used to cover it/make it appear real ? the limbic. And the third part, neocortex, to rationalize it. Praise be to God. The Lord of the worlds. The Awareness of human. Aware people know their deepest structures. Semi-aware ? the own emotions. Emotions are the cover of reality. The Unaware ? lost in the language. See now why those whose work sings, speak less, but impact much? Peace, R.

    Salam all, As some of you know it is a common believe that the Surah 96 was first revealed to the Prophet whereas some of the old scholars claimed surah 73 to be first send down and some are saying it is "AL-Fatiha." I question all three cause i think,i would introduce myself first who i am why i have chosen(the Prophet)to hear my voice and to gave him sureness to be god by counting something from old scriptures. What do you think about which vers could be the first?
