    GOD is the first being and all souls. Away with fundamental association such as atheisms "random" physical measurable creator, and those deviant and ill, that directly or indirectly attribute meaning to randomness. Away with darwinism, and "random" mutation, that would have left a pile of carcasses from mismutation large than any number of "successful" fossils. Away with physicalism that is polytheistic and satanic in that one is two-brainhalves, rather than one non-physical divine soul.

    Root Words from this Root in the Grand Qur'aan a) Total occurrences 6 b) No of constructions 4 The basic perception infolded in the Root, in the words of Ibne Faris is . . That, it leads to the perception of relation of a thing with another in a manner of acuity, rigidity and attraction, drawing, or engaging. The well known word, "the dog" is from this Root. The Grand Qur'aan has used this Root only to refer to the well known animal, i.e. dog, and hunting animals http//haqeeqat.org.pk/English%20Tafsir%20e%20Haqeeqat/00.Arabic%20Text/007.%20Al%20Airaaf/007.%20A50.gif Thereat, his similarity/equation was like that peculiar dog that if you subject him to physically carry weight upon him, he would pant, or should you relieve him even then he would pant.

    Qur'an 262 "VERILY, those who have attained to faith , as well as those who follow the Jewish faith, and the Christians, and the Sabians - all who believe in God and the Last Day and do righteous deeds - shall have their reward with their Sustainer; and no fear need they have, and neither shall they grieve." Does this mean that muslim men/women may marry with any other women/man that are Jewish or Christian? I read somewhere that's not possible a muslim women to marry a non muslim man but the opposite is acceptable.

    I am struggling with the Quran lately. How much of the Quran is meant to be taken literally. How much of it is an allegory meant to teach a certain lesson?

So i cheked the root of the word on PRL and Lane Lexicon and found something which I don't understand Rahman - it is active participle noun in the measure of fa'lan which conveys the idea of fullness and extensiveness. Rahim - it is in the measure of fa'il which denotes the idea of constant repetition and giving What is fa'lan and fa'il? Is the root of these two words Fa-Ayn-Lam? Any help would be much appreciated

    When quran refers to the character of unbelievers as they reject truth, ALLAH is making a generalisation and He is best in generalising. Remember that the same character of people rejecting the quran is the same character the human manifests when rejecting ANYTHING it does not understand. E.g. "How can you not like apples? You must be crazy" or "Only idiots like to watch Batman" Peace

  • The Day of Judgement ? a transformation of the Earth towards the Light.

    The Day of Judgement ? a transformation of the Earth towards the Light. Many believers think that the Earth will be destroyed at Judgement Day or will be turned into hell. An example for this point of view is found in the front page article of the Free-Minds site ? Judgement Day, Hell & Earth. Quote of the conclusion of the article In the events of Judgement Day, what is most revealing and frightening is that Hell is not a distant place to which the criminals will be herded, but is the reality of our Earth transforming into the stuff of nightmares ? a place where the wicked will be stranded ? as long as the heavens and Earth are standing, while the righteous will be taken away. It is this new reality that sheds light on many of the verses in the Qur?an that deal with the subject, the foremost of which is that ?all mankind will enter Hell? 1971-72 And every single one of you will be in it. This for your Lord is a certainty that will come to pass. Then We will save those who were righteous, and We will leave the wicked in it on their knees. According to the Qur?an, our lush green planet, will be transformed into a barren, barely inhabitable wasteland - where the sun has expanded, the sky has torn, the mountains have been crushed, lava is gushing from the belly of the Earth, the seas have become too hot to sustain life, there are barely any places to take shelter in, nor is there any abundant shade ? it is a miserable, desolate place where there is only suffering, hardship, and pain. End quote There are several verses in the Koran that indicate a different future for Earth. 3969 The earth will shine with the light of its Lord ? 3974 They said, "Praise be to God who has fulfilled His promise to us, and He made us inherit the earth, enjoying Paradise as we please. What a beautiful recompense for the workers!" 21105 We have written in the Psalms "After the reminder, that the earth will be inherited by My servants who do good. From these three verses one can learn that the Earth will be transformed into a place of the Light of God and will be inherited by the righteous servants of God. Both the Heavens and the Earth will be transformed. 3967 ? and the whole earth is within His fist on the day of resurrection, and the heavens will be folded in His right hand. Be He glorified; He is much too high above what they set up. According to the Koran earthquakes and other events are a part of this transformation of Earth, the mountains will disappear according to verse 20105-107. The article suggest that every human being will enter Hell ? this way of reading verse 1971-72 is contradicted by following verses. 21101 As for those who deserved good from Us, they will be kept/removed/protected from it. 21102 They shall not hear the slightest sound from it, and they will be in what their person desires abiding therein. Rather the righteous believers will be kept apart from the Hell and will not even hear a sound of it. That is different from having to enter the Hell first. 4153 We will show them Our signs in the horizons, and within themselves, until it becomes clear to them that this is the truth. Is it not enough that your Lord is witness over all things? Within this context it might be interesting to study from a koranic perspective some -New Age- internetsites about the coming Ascension of Earth and Mankind. There are some similarities between this Ascension-movement on the internet and relevant verses of the Koran. For instance the transformation of the Earth towards the Light of God. the transformed Earth will be inherited by the positive part of mankind. peace, upliftment and sharing of wealth are core-issues. At the other hand some information on these sites can be different from what many believers are used to, for instance regarding reincarnation and the possible existence of extra-terrestial intelligence. http//the2012scenario.com/ In any case - God is the Knower. Truthseeker Disclaimer the study of the Koran is work in progress, every information in any posting on this forum should be controlled by the believers themselves in the best way - verse 1736.

    Find the priority prayer. Believe Absolutely that Lord will solve this. Repeat the prayer 70 times. Be direct and sure. Each time after the prayer, say - Thank you. Let the prayer be precise, clear and short. Have patience. Act. The Remembrance of GOD is solving problems before they begin. If you had no desire, how would you pray? Praise be to GOD. The Lord of the worlds. Peace, R.

    If ?obey Allah and obey the Messenger? means two different sources, this creates a paradox since the Messenger only judged by the Qur?an (548, 6114). Thus all instances of obeying the Messenger must be according to the Qur?an. It is declared that only the Messenger can explain it, so here are some questions for such people to answer 543-50 says that people who do not judge by the Books are kufr, so (again) Sunnis will say only the Prophet can explain it. In 542-43, the Qur?an says that the People of the Book do not have to refer to the Messenger to judge by their Book. It says they should not have to come to the Messenger when they have their own Scripture. They should judge by their own Book, but how can they do this if they need a Messenger? Did the People of the Book have ahadith too? Why would the Qur?an question why they go to another source when they have the Book? Were these reliable after such a long time? It says that they should judge by the Book, not by ahadith. If they had to (pointlessly) judge by ahadith, would they not have to judge them by their Book? If the People of the Book themselves were to judge by their own Scripture, does this not prove that Messengers are not required to explain it? Certain Sunnis claim there was dual Revelation. 223 says if we doubt what has been revealed, we must produce something like it. The Messenger only adhered to what was revealed to him (650, 7203, 496). If Sunnis wish to claim that this includes non-Qur?anic Revelation (e.g. ?Sunna?), then to be fair the challenge has to apply to that too. The ahadith can be forged, thus anything in the ahadith can be denied and that person will still be a Muslim. Moreover, an associate to Allah must be called on as witness (223). Sunnis take Muhammad as their associate. There must be a tangible witness, and ?Qur'an-Alone? Muslims have the Qur?an as their witness.

    Peace to all, Not sure if you ever heard of this or read it, but if not you should, and read it very carefully. I have read it several times and cross referenced and compared it to known facts. This real, it is proof of what many have been saying and others have sensed about a global secret conspiracy, and yes I know how kooky that sounds to say, but please read for yourself and decide. The plot, wording and themes also confirm that the Protocols of Zion are real. http//mailstar.net/red-symphony.html
