    Here, the requirement isnt for a polytheist to just leave polytheism, but to become a believer to marry a believer. This is hint nr 1. A sectarian isnt a believer 2221 And do not marry the female polytheists until they believe; for a believing servant is better than a polytheist, even if she is pleasing to you. And do not give in marriage to the male polytheists until they believe; for a believing servant is better than a polytheist, even if he is pleasing to you. These invite to the Fire, while God is inviting to Paradise and forgiveness by His consent. He clarifies His revelations for the people that they may remember. Hint nr 2. Women are not to be with rejecters, and men arent to keep disbelieving women. Also, its directled to believers... So from this we get that believers are for believers. peace brother , as i stated earlier no need of getting hints when something author already cleared in the scripture.. look at this verse now please.. 55 Today, the good things have been made lawful to you, and the food of those who have been given the Book is lawful for you, and your food is lawful for them; and the independent females from those who are believers, and the independent females from those who have been given the Book before you, if you have given them their dowries, to be independent, not for illicit sex or taking lovers. And whoever rejects belief, then his work has fallen, and in the Hereafter he is of the losers. no hints in this verse but a clear permission of 2 catagories 1 believers 2 those who have been given book before(i.e christians,jews, and all those religions who followed abraham and noah).. this rules out everything.. but again , advise must be taken , peacemaker for a peacemaker criminal for a criminal dishonest for a dishonest porn actress for a porn actor film actor for a film actress scientist for a scientist doctor for a doctor poor for a poor rich for a rich western culture women for a western culture boy eastern culture women for a eastern culture boy cheater for a cheater... if you mix the pattern of (compatibilty) then possibly there will be less chances that you guys get along with each other for long time.. its simple and easy..

    Islamophobia has increased rapidly in Europe, so it was refreshing to see such a great reply to the Islamophobic troll. Its sad to see how the world - despite obvious evidence of the contrary - keep associating terrorism with Islam. brickwall Peace But the sectarian guy is also defending a religion started by Trump himself somewhere in the 9th century and that was also full of terrorism which now is being used by ISIS. The above article is more related towards "ShariaPhobia" and "March Against Sharia".. http//www.actforamerica.org/rally. http//images.dailykos.com/images/105518/large/cjones09132014.jpg?1410565451 The unfortunate truth is that the die hard sharia haters of the US also want sharia as long as it is repackaged as American. Trumpanzees want women to not go to work. They believe they should be "domesticated" because outside world isn't made for them. They want honor killing of white women who date African Americans. They want journalists who write against Trump to be killed or jailed. For every problem, their solution is death squad. If one really want a good taste of organized terrorism.. Try to organize and perform "March Against Sharia" in Saudi Arabia or Pakistan.. Or March Against Hadith or better yet March Against Quran on the above countries.. Neither Pakistan nor Saudi Arabia ever said they are okay with free speech or protests which go against what they believe. We aren't here to copy them. We have a system completely different than theirs. And if we think like that then we will back to jungle with each trying to beat the other with blood shedding. That's the exact thing Trump is trying to get in my country. Quran is not God, but it has taught us to seek peaceful way of finding solutions.

    So never let worldwide campaigning and striving against Our advised of way of life by those who reject and oppose it for holding on to way of life based upon personal gains at the each other?s for saving their petty personal gains confusion you regarding truth about Our advised way of life for leading you the mankind to blissful, dignified and secure existence in this world. Their petty personal gains are but a brief comfort for them till their victims wake up and react that is how soon the consequences of their harmful and destructive desires and ambitions will land them in terrible agony, which is indeed a terrible state of existence for them to be in, in this very world. Living as individuals on the basis of petty personal gains at the expense of becoming a proper human community has some advantages for a few most powerful and wealthy individuals but it does not last very long because conflicts keep arising and increase each day till there comes about a day when masses rise up bringing about a bloody revolt or revolution that shatters all dreams of all such people because their children are killed and wealth looted and a real bad name in history is guaranteed for them. Not only that life in this world itself is not very long for people to be cruel to each other. Moreover all sorts of crimes takes place in such human populations which do not take good care of each other because in that human population each is only and only for oneself. This is how comes about a dog eat dog world, so what a terrible loss in every way for these like people and when they will be confronted by Allah in hereafter things will only get worse for them who treat other human beings with such disrespect and contempt. Moreover their challenging of rule of law of the real ruler of this universe ie Allah can only and only have one outcome and that is not going to be good for them. On top of all this living in confusion and fear all the time is nothing less than a terrible agony. 19 However those who will live by guidance of their Creator and Sustainer for ensuring well being of each other they will end up in kingdoms which will ensure their blissful, dignified and secure existence in which will flow rivers of plentiful livelihood and all they will need and want wherein they will abide as a result of knowing properly what came to them from Allah and they acted upon it faithfully and there is nothing from Allah but that which can only and only ensure well of mankind. A very clear proof that Allah has not created mankind to test them for his pooja paat and reward and punish them but to find their way to the ultimate goal all by themselves with a little help from their creator and sustainer. The ultimate goal is full recognition and appreciation of their creator and sustainer. It is because Allah expressed himself through creation and revelation and mankind he created to appreciate his creation and revelation by finding out things themselves and that is why he gave them brains, senses and bodies to enable them to fulfil this purpose. So those who will use their provided things appropriately will benefit and those who will not will suffer the consequences. Surely from among the people of the book there are some who are truly committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind according to the program, goals and guidelines of Allah as revealed to you and as was revealed to them, focused fully upon establishing the rule of law based upon guidance of Allah. They do not trade way of life advised by Allah for ensuring well being of mankind for a way of life based upon petty personal gains at the expense of each other whereby mankind inflict harms and destructions upon each other. They are the ones the outcome of whose proper thoughts and actions rests upon set-up systems and laws of Allah and set-up systems and laws of Allah are strict and swift in delivering to human populations outcomes of their thoughts and actions for or against each other appropriately and respectively. So O you who claim to be committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind! Endure and out do all others in thinking and doing things by being organised and regulated properly to be consistent with guidance of Allah and each other by being a proper human community so that you succeed in your accomplishment of your Allah assigned mission.

or purpose, landmark or something alike in some sense in some way for some reason or purpose etc etc. This surah was all about people and what they should do to succeed in their life. The vital importance of community life is made clear as well as the need for literacy, education and training to be able to think and do things properly in order to meet all eventualities as individuals and as groups as well as, as a proper human communities. The emphasis in previous surah was on identifying problems between individuals and groups and solving them and the emphasis in the next surah is about rights and responsibilities of individuals and groups and the community as a whole. The Quran is proving fully consistent so far in what it states. Problem is mullahs are illiterate, uneducated and untrained to think and do things properly and that is why people should not reject the message of God in the Quran due to foolishness of mullahs.

    You're right, dear, our language if very far from the language of the Qur'an. We're not learning it, we think that we know, mostly all. We were warned about those who think that they're above His ayets... This is one of a very rare scholars I like to listen.

    Peace all, Sorry for being a smart-a$$, but I think it would be wise for people in this thread to take the emotional levels down a notch. Anyone who really wants answers and a debate should perhaps consider keeping it simple, to the topic, and not quote each separate sentence in the adversary's post and reply with an equally small response/question, making each post frustratingly fragmented and deviating and thus rendering the chances for proper responses highly unlikely. Stick to one issue and finish it off when it leads no further. If Satan would have been a separate spirit being, then he would have been sitting laughing at the emotional bickering that is going on here. Reset! Cheers

    T
    Salam all, I am new to the forum. I'll keep my intro short. I was raised Catholic, but casually (church only on Xmas and Easter) and felt the Bible didn't offer what I wanted. When I learned about Islam, its one God and rejection of pagans, I thought it was wonderful. I was elated. I married a Muslim man, prayed the 5x daily, read the Quran, tried to learn Arabic, wore hijab, etc. But the more I learned about Hadith, the more I would think "What is this?" When my husband would try to explain Hadith, it just made it worse; not only is Hadith inaccurate, but he didn't even know why he followed it. Suffice to say, I've grown "tired" of Islamic propaganda and everyone's "holier-than-thou" attitude. However here's where the "double-life" comes in I'm a pharmacist in a busy location and have been there for several years now. I wear hijab every day, even though I don't believe it is really necesary anymore. Why do I do this? Because I want the general public to have a positive image of a Muslim woman. I've always worn the hijab to work. If I decided to not wear it anymore, my patients would think I've stopped being a Muslim. It is too tedious to explain conventional Islam and "Quran-only" to each and every passerby. So, I continue to wear it. Now Ramadan is coming and the charade continues. I'll be doing the whole fasting/praying thing. I don't truly truly believe it is all necessary, but what kind of Muslim woman doesn't do these things? So that's where things stand right now. Peace all, Lynn Thank you for your post. I am in similar way only i dont wear hijab. However i recently married into muslim family. It is alot easier to practice the way you believe when you are alone. Now my husband is trying to teach me the right way to do things and i just nod and say okay as to not be troublesome. God knows my thoughts and so I cannot lie to Him but sometimes it is easier to blend in than to stand out. Do you wear hijab when you are praying alone at home? I never understood the purpose of that as if God cannot see all of me at all times. I thought covering was to make men feel better about themselves...note sarcasm.

    Perhaps you are right. It will be hard forgetting the fear I've been indoctrinated with...it'll take some time to let go off. But if that is where God is guiding me that is where I shall go. Oh come on.... Surely the "perhaps" is just a perceptual formality in the above post.

    Most who have Mecca as their direction of Salat and place of Pilgrimage do so because the sectarians do without real proof. It's not just that, but also this month, they are following what the sectarians do; that is fasting in a month while they're unaware of. There's no proof from Quran that the 9th lunar month is the month of Ramadhan - this lie comes from Hadith, and also another lie from Hadith is that the calendar is only a lunar calendar, while in Quran it's clearly luni-solar calendar. Everyone should take verse 1736 more seriously. Salam Whilst many people are holding their Ramadan fasts over this month, there are many others who are holding them at nearly every month of the year. What it takes to define a clear time for performing the fast is careful research because if new Quran-only Muslims were to simply follow a new direction then it would not be an improvement. The important thing for me is that fasting improves humans because it detaches us from the lowness of this life (via the food and drink) - it also teaches us self-restraint. With this in mind, fasting could actually take place all the year round. Indeed last year I used to fast every 3 or 5 days a week for several months. For me now, it is important to understand when Ramadan is and what it means. In the meantime I am holding my Ramadan in this Hadithist month as it is still a way for me to get close to God and read the Quran every day to try and understand it better. I hope that for next year, I will have a clearer handle on the concept of Ramadan according to the Quran alone. Salam Ed

    Samina wa atona, we hear and we obey is mandated / commanded in 2285. Which prove that the book is not written by God but merely mortal / human trying to get some political power from the masses (common motives), because if the true God 'command' something then EVERYTHING will definitely obey and NOTHING can disobey. exactly.. the true God commands not to kill anybody , still people do it..(sometimes in millions in one go like nagasaki) true and logical God command you not to rape/invade/steal somebody people are still doing it... the true and helpful God command to help everybody but still people are dying from hunger wars and poverty in remote areas like africa , southasia and lot more...(just because the caretakers loves the money more than God commands) i wonder how come whole system of this planet is disobeying God (according to your logic) so according to current situation if the true God 'command' something then EVERYTHING will definitely obey and NOTHING can disobey. Yup, FEAR is the human emotion commonly manipulated by political figure throughout the ages. FEAR shall override conscience... I repeat FEAR shall override conscience and common sense.. i repeat fear of true God make you peaceful... if you fear him you will not rob/steal/rape/invade(as we know he is recording us) 99.5% people who fear God stay away from jails and prisons.. rest of the 0.5% people who are not the slaves of mind and not the slave of fear of God.. can b found in jails and prisons sometimes in society as a dangerous virus that can kill/rob/rape/invade anybody anytime... now i repeat not fearing of God shall override conscience and common sense.. i wonder on people when they come on final conclusion regarding a true God and i also wonder on advance creation(malaika) who also dnt know what God alone knows...

    regardless you people reveal to each other your intensions or motives in your minds behind your thoughts and actions for or against each other through your thoughts and actions or you hide them because universal set-up systems and laws of Allah deliver to you results of your thoughts and actions about each other. That is how He protects from harms and destructions any human population that desires to be protected through acting upon His program, goals and guidelines and likewise He lets a human population destroy themselves who refuse to accept and act according to His advice because Allah has set-up systems and laws to govern all affairs concerning everyone and everything. This is why this messenger committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind according to program, goals and guidelines revealed to him from his Creator and Sustainer along with all others who have committed themselves to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind. All unity, peace, progress and prosperity loving people always committed to working for unity, peace, progress and prosperity of mankind to be consistent with guidance of Allah and to be consistent with His missionaries, His books and His messengers, and moreover such people always confirmed Our message saying, we saw no difference or conflict in the message of any of His messengers and they also said, we hear Your advice loud and clear and we commit ourselves to it for turning it into a reality so that thereby You our creator and sustainer save us from inflicting harms and destructions upon each other for our personal gains at the expense of each other, therefore towards Your program, goals and guidelines in form of Your revealed message for our guidance is end of our journey. Here Allah explains what has been happening throughout times and places ie all Godly people always thought and acted in a similar way because they understood message of God in a similar way. The reason they were able to do so was because they took sense of learning proper sense of things as foundation upon which they built their understanding of the real world and message of God. Any people who will do that will always reach the similar conclusion about deen of Islam. People who will not bother to anchor their thoughts upon this solid foundation will always remain confused and lost. This is why such people cannot benefit from provisions and messages of God. We further confirm that Allah burdens not any human population with any task but to help it grow and prosper because for each human population is only that sort of outcome towards which it works. So our Creator and Sustainer! Leave us not entrapped in our limited understanding of things or our actions based upon our incomplete thoughts. Our Creator and Sustainer! Do not let us fall under heavy burden of our self created problems as You let happen to those before us as a consequence of their own harmful and destructive thoughts and actions against each other for personal gains at each other?s expense. Our Creator and Sustainer! Help us see the proper way of living our lives so that we do not fall under terribly harmful and destructive problems beyond our capability of solving them. Through our following of that way of life relieve us from our self created ills and protect us and that way make for us Your blissful, dignified and secure existence providing way of life a blessing. You are our supporter through Your guidance so through that help us win over the people who reject and oppose rule of law based upon Your guidance due to their ignorance about it. Word ISRAA is from root ALIF, SWAAD and RAA. Concrete meaning of this root is weight or something like weight in some sense in some way for some reason or purpose.

Setting limits becomes a requirement if anyone sets any goals because goals cannot be achieved unless people are set guidelines to help them move in the direction that leads them to the goal. A clear proof of the fact that the Quran based deen of Islam is not a set of make beliefs and useless practices as invented and promoted by mullahs in the name of deen of Islam. It is a way of life based upon goals for humanity to accomplish according to provided guidelines as a program to be executed faithfully by mankind. Let us use an example for understanding the reason for setting the limits. Suppose we have a garden and we need to water the garden. To take water from source we must guide the water to reach the garden and not let it spread freely in every direction and not reach the garden. We can use water channels or pipe work to do so. Likewise if humanity must develop and prosper then limits must be set to help it do that otherwise manpower will be lost or dissipated and the task set for humanity to accomplish will remain unaccomplished. So limits are supposed to be set for a purpose not just for sake of it because that way set limits themselves could act as hindrance or resistance against the very purpose of something. I am not going into detail of it but interpreters of the Quran have made a mess of the text of the Quran and for that one only has to see their interpretations of these verses themselves. It clearly shows limits of their reasoning capability.

    One would think after the prophets death the 200 years before bukhari the community followed quran only Islam. However.... History is ripe with contradictions. Even in those 200 years slavery, conquests, jizyah, ridda wars so many accounts, historical and by hadith. So two things 1) Either every account of the successive years before and after the prophets death are false , perhaps even that the "rightly guided caliphs" never existed (this isn't impossible it explains why the above motioned were happening in a state newly sanctioned by the quran. even during Muhammad's time Allah willed even then corruption followed and quran islam wasn't practiced, hence we have all those accounts. What do my genius free minders think? wow wow because the prophet manifested himself doesn't mean that everywhere on the land will be justice instantly
