General Issues / Questions

Peace All Anyone have any insight into the deal with people who are mentally incapable of assessing their actions, such as suicide based on depression, or killing others based on depression, in the spur of the moment where the mind is not really under one's voluntary sway? Any proof from the Quran that addresses this issue? Take care. Joe

What's up brothers and sisters ? I thought I'd share with you some of the stuff I'm receiving from my friends in highschool (I'm 17). The following is an email I received The following message in the next seven days should reach at least FIVE MILLION Muslims around the world, Insha-Allah. Please forward this message TODAY to your friends and relatives and earn abundant Rewards from Allah Subhanawatala. SAYINGS (HADITH) OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD (Sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) The one who disdains the prayers will receive Fifteen punishments from Allah. Six punishments in this lifetime Three while dying three in the grave & three on the Day of Judgment. THE SIX PUNISHMENTS OF LIFE Allah takes away blessings from his age (makes his life misfortunate) 2.Allah does not accept his plea (Dua's) 3.Allah erases the features of good people from his face. 4.He will be detested by all creatures on earth. 5.Allah does not award him for his good deeds. (No thawab) 6.He will not be included in the Dua's of good people. THE THREE PUNISHMENTS WHILE DYING He dies humiliated. He dies hungry. He dies thirsty. Even if he drinks the water of all seas he will still be thirsty. THE THREE PUNISHMENTS IN THE GRAVE Allah tightens his grave until his chest ribs come over each other. Allah pours on him fire with embers. Allah sets on him a snake called "the brave", "the bold" which hits Him from morning until afternoon for leaving Fajr prayer, from the afternoon until Asr for leaving Dhuhr prayer and so on. With each strike he sinks 70 yards under the ground. THE THREE PUNISHMENTS ON THE DAY OF JUDGMENT Allah sends who would accompany him to hell pulling him on the face. Allah gives him an angry look that makes the flesh of his face fall down. Allah judges him strictly and orders him to be thrown in hell. Note If you get this copy, please make copies of it and distribute them among all Muslims. You will be earning a Reward as well as helping to show your brother the Right Path. May Allah give guidance to all of us. AAMEEN!!!!!!! THOSE WHO DO NOT SAY THEIR PRAYERS OF FAJAR the glow of their face is taken away. ZOHAR the blessing of their income is taken away. ASAR the strength of their body is taken away. MAGHRIB they are not benefacted by their children. ISHA the peace of their sleep is taken away. THE HOLY QUR'AN Say Your Prayers Prior To Prayers For You Are Said". "Namaz Pard Is Se Pehle Ke Teri Namaz Parhi Jaye". BROTHERS AND SISTERS, NOW YOU HAVE TWO OPTIONS HERE Let this e-mail sitting in your mailbox No curse or whatever may happen to you (Insha-Allah) Forward this e-mail to a number of people you know and by the grace of Allah you will be blessed for each person you forward this e-mail to. Insha-Allah. I haven't told anyone about my Quran Only stance because frankly I don't want people to talk about me behind my back. I however, have not encountered any other muslims at school who share my views (probably because people aren't open about only following the Quran as a guide). I do not know what to do with emails like this, and I honestly can't believe that people actually take this stuff as the truth. Its amazing how many people this email has been sent to (at least in the hundreds). Anyways, I am just posting this as a rant!

salam to all My guestion for all is what is association with God is meaning what are the things we do that either associate or implies that we are associating IT with God This is one sin that unforgiavable by God so we have to be very carefull that we do not associate God with any thing or any One Thanks Postman

The Test ?Did the people think that they will be left to say ?We believe? without being put to the test?. While We had tested those before them, so that God would know those who are truthful and so that He would know the liars.? (292-3) In reading the Quran, we come across the issue of the ?test? that those who profess belief will be subjected to sooner or later?Unfortunately, many of us take the warning of the Quran lightly and fail to understand the intensity or severity of these tests when they come. ?Or did you expect that you would enter Paradise, while the example of those who were before you came to you; they were stricken with adversity and hardship, and they were shaken until the messenger and those who believed with him said ?When is God?s victory?? Yes indeed, God?s victory is near.? (2214) Though the path to God is clear and simple, it is His way that once a man or woman embarks on His path that they will be shaken and tested through difficult and sometimes even traumatic events. The purpose of the test or series of tests that we shall all undergo is very clear ?so that God would know those who are truthful and so that He would know the liars?. Although God is fully aware of our innermost beliefs, it is still the ultimate in cosmic fairness and justice that we all ?put our money where our mouth is? and PROVE that we serve the One and only god rather than simply pay Him lip service!. Types of Tests. If you have not yet been tested since accepting the path to God, then know that you will be struck where you are most vulnerable, whether that vulnerability is your attachment to money, your attachment to certain people, to your property, or your fear of death or battle or the torture and punishment from others? ?And We will test you with some fear and hunger, and a shortage in money and lives and fruits. And give good news to those who are patient. (2155) ?For they had come from above you, and from beneath you; your eyes were terrified, and the hearts reached to the throat, and you harboured doubts about God. That is when the believers were truly tested; they were severely shaken up. (3310-11) ?And from among the people are those who say ?We believe in God,? but if he is harmed in the sake of God, he equates the persecution inflicted by the people with God?s punishment. And if a victory comes from your Lord, he says ?We were with you!? Is God not fully aware of what is inside the chests of the worlds? God is fully aware of those who believed, and He is fully aware of the hypocrites.? (2910-11) For some Muslims, September-11th and the media frenzy against Islam was enough to shake them away from the path they had firmly been walking, for some it is the constant set-backs in the Middle East and the loss after loss that has caused them to lose faith, for others it is being made job-less and losing all wealth and prestige that makes them question God and even doubt His existence!. What to Do? ?O you who believe, be patient and call for patience, and bond together and revere God that you may succeed.? (3200) There lies the answer?In patience, perseverance, and helping one another through the good and through the bad. Even Luqman many generations ago taught this to his son as we are once again learning... ?O my son, hold the assembly and advocate righteousness and forbid evil, and bear with patience whatever befalls you. These are the most honourable traits.? (3117) You must not lose hope, you must not lose faith, and most of all, you must stay the course till its end?It is inevitable that you will be shaken and tested?It is inevitable that you will ask as the messenger did when he was shaken ?where is God?s victory!??And the answer for those who stay the course ?Yes indeed, God?s victory is near!. ?And recall God?s blessings over you and His covenant that He Has bound you with, for which you have said ?We hear and obey,? and be aware of God; for God knows what is inside the chests.?

2912-13 vs. 6164........i need an explanation......seems to contradict according to the yusuf ali translation that i am reading

peace be upon all, I cant remember properly where I heard it but it really struck my mind. As we all believe and many times we have heard that nothing is impossible for God. He/She/It can create anything and destroy anything. But the question was if God can create or destroy anything than "Can He/She/It destroy His/Her/Its own existence..?" Peace

peace i have my computer clock set with an atomic clock, and i noticed when i log into these boards, the time on the board is about 20 minutes ahead of the clock on my computer. what up with that?

Peace, Independently of what RK said on forty years, I?d like to know if somebody among you knows the persons who changed the way (from polytheism to montheism) after this age. Thanks Peace Marie

I'm headed for work, but I will post the ayat which seems to state this.

Peace All Does the word adama refer to a single man, or is it only used to refer to one person? Can it mean mankind? Take care. Joe

http//www.faithfreedom.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7253 I cannont believe my eyes which are burning right now and junk. Just last night after evening prayer I walked down to the Embarkandarrow to the jew beer guy Gorden Biersch which sounds a little too much like a Lung Ilund George Bush to me but I haven?t done the calculation yet so forget I said it. I disested for a moment. Anyway, I was interested in observing the Jew reaction to the Boston Reds throwing off the yoke of Jewness Which beginning with the accursed and accused Jew Harry Frazeer before he was a black heavyweight champion selling Baby Ruth to the infidel New York Jews for trillions of dollors of Forign Aid and IMF (three letters) loan garuntees and other junk too. Through the complete Zionist takeover of Moe Berg and his brother Curly and Buddy Myer and now having lived through the Irsih drunkard Haywood Sulivan and Jean Yowkey, grandfather of John Lennon?s wife, and jew. Arriving to this date to do battle with one of the world most evil Jews George (AL Shaytan) Stienbrenner, the super Jew himself. But Alah knows best and chose to dely the game until tonight with rain. THIS IS FACT YOU CANNOT DENY IT!!!! While I was wondering why Alah would let the 49er?s, Redskins and Seminoles all loose on the same weekend causing extreme financial hardship on his humble servent it occurred to me THE SAUDIS ARE JEWS!!! THIS IS FACT YOU CANNOT DENY IT!!! I know I can hardly believe it myself but I have calculated it mathematically. SAUDIS ARE JEWS!! Take the Saudi name ?Kingdom Saudi Arabia? which is the birthplace of the religion of peace and has swords on the flag and junk too!! OK so ? Kingdom (73) Saudi (54)Arabia(32) add them up 159. Use the reciprocal (z=1,a=26) ?Kingdom(116) ?Saudi(81)? ?Arabia(104)? add um up 301. 301 + 159 and you got 460 which also has Jew significance but that is for later. In Kingdom Saudi Arabia there are 4 different vowels and Hebrew does not have vowels letters so subtract 4 from 460 and you got 456. 456 has other Jew significance too but that is for some other time too. Right now just remember there are 12 tribes of Jews. Divide 456 by 12 and 38 happens. GUESS WHAT?? 38= JEW. Saudis are Jews THIS IS FACT YOU CANNOT DENY IT!!! lol

Salaam I would say the site is shirk, talismans to invoking other indoasian angelic names, but i wanted to hear what people here thought of it since its opened the dorrs to the NOT SO spoken ABOUT muslim practices, These are Known to be practiced by many Islamic Mediums and call themselves Muslims (no dis respect to anyone) Just saying they do. The point of my posting the link is to show not much deference between its practice and the TRADITIONAL hadeeths... if you add Mohammed's name (PBUH) name next to them.. So from these sight the Traditional hadeeths seem rather used for the same purposes "free masions" and other "Magi's" claim do the job for them.. http//www.indotalisman.com/

does anyone who understands the arabic quran know what the correct translation behind 41-44 is? Rk's translation seems to be quite different then the rest of the translations. Did he omit cruicial words or did the others add words? doesn't make sence 041.044 YUSUFALI Had We sent this as a Qur'an (in the language) other than Arabic, they would have said "Why are not its verses explained in detail? What! (a Book) not in Arabic and (a Messenger an Arab?" Say "It is a Guide and a Healing to those who believe; and for those who believe not, there is a deafness in their ears, and it is blindness in their (eyes) They are (as it were) being called from a place far distant!" PICKTHAL And if We had appointed it a Lecture in a foreign tongue they would assuredly have said If only its verses were expounded (so that we might understand)? What! A foreign tongue and an Arab? - Say unto them (O Muhammad) For those who believe it is a guidance and a healing; and as for those who disbelieve, there is a deafness in their ears, and it is blindness for them. Such are called to from afar. SHAKIR And if We had made it a Quran in a foreign tongue, they would certainly have said Why have not its communications been made clear? What! a foreign (tongue) and an Arabian! Say It is to those who believe a guidance and a healing; and (as for) those who do not believe, there is a heaviness in their ears and it is obscure to them; these shall be called to from a far-off place. Rashad's translation If we made it a non-Arabic Quran they would have said, "Why did it come down in that language?" Whether it is Arabic or non-Arabic, say, "For those who believe, it is a guide and healing. As for those who disbelieve, they will be deaf and blind to it, as if they are being addressed from faraway."

Anyone? Sha

Peace to everyone, Throughout the world including the non-religionists, people observe and "celebrate" birthdays of the dead and death anniversaries year after year. On account, people spend millions on such occasions, not only on shrines and garlands but also on robust outlooks and feasts, every day year-in and year-out. Not to mention that to bury a dead man these days cost fortune. Almost all mausoleums and cemeteries throughout the world are lavishly built and well cared for all corpses, thus the high cost of burying. After years of such remembrances, when one digs up a grave to find either no remains whatsoever or mere fragile bones, yet the ongoing celebrations. Astonishingly, many countries even constitute federal holidays for some famous characters, yet many simple and noble ones go un-noticed, perhaps only within their own circles. Wonder if such extravagances are important and/or mandatory for ones burial to have any religious effects on a dead mans body, specially when its repetitious. Death anniversary can be willfully understandable, but then how can a dead man have a "birthday" for remembrance??? My own understanding is that, it really doesnt matter how ones corpses are discarded or buried as long as they are safely and securely put away, being free of contamination and pollution. Im sure people can make use of their spendings for better cause and for those who are alive and needy. What are your thoughts, guys?

Salam, Does anyone know why Noah's wife was among those who drawned? Did she even drawn? Any 'liberal' thoughts on this? Cheers cool

Brings a timeless and moral message. The message he/she brings are unselfish, harmless and beneficial to the soul, the society, to the human race and even to the planet earth. Unless specified this message should be timeless and applicable for all time and for everybody. (Unlike some surahs like the one about inheritance which no longer make sense today where both parents are required to work to make ends meet) Able to perform undisputable miracles OR was authenticated by a true prophet before him. This is what distinguishes a prophet from a plain preacher. A proof of divine authority. This authority can come directly through the person claiming to be a prophet in the form of miracles; or the authority could be claimed through the apporval of a true prophet before him. The miracles performed should be something that can be directly observed and recorded. The deeds should be undisputably clear from being imitable through science or trickery. His message doesnt contradict each other or any proven facts. The message should be clear for everybody to understand or translate. Promotes the divine being he represents. Never himself. Practices what he preach.
