Thanks , Baitachal, youare really optimistic as to my abilities but I appreciate it. It make sup for other times when somebody does the opposite for me. yay yay yay yay We must always keep in mind ayas 39.17-18 ...Give, then, this glad tiding to My ser?vants (17) who listen to all that is said, and follow the best of it it is they whom God has graced with His guidance, and it is they who are endowed with insight! (1 This is very important. You can play around with meanings and words in order to snatch from the Qur'an by twisting ways some advantage for you in the world. You yourself know you are tricking and you will get from it the reard of the tricksters, that is smoke, emptyness. However, in our hearts if we listen, as the aya says, if we do listen, to the best of it, we know wht we should understand. But there are wretches who think they are legitimate to crush the Qur'an till it gives nonsense or evilness. What is the use of fallin into the tricks of those eveilm mongers? We must believe in our fitra, God given fitra and trust that if it is guidance we seek, our fitra if we respect it and listen to it will tell us what the best is. Wiki islam and those like it, are just playing war against islam and God, an the resort to any trick. It is good to dismantle their arguments and lack of knowledge but always our our own sake of learning and geting more understanding of the Qur'an, but never, never, to hink they are right. They do not give a damn about right or wrong not do they love us. They are arrogant brats or cannon fodder for those who use them. Without getting into too much grammar or comparisons Do we really feel that the best we can get from aya 65.4 is a ligitimatio for pedophilia or do we feel that whoever extracts such meaning form the aya is straying very far, clutching to straws as an alibi? or otherwise that they are completely lost? listen to the best of it. The best of it from this aya is a society where care is taken that every person that comes to the world, knows when he or s2ha comes and gets hr or his rights and duties from those who owe them to her or him. A society where every person, female or male is safeguarded as to her or his repsonsibilities and duties, and know where she or he stands. Not to fabricate alibis for sadists or vicious mosters that need fresh flesh for their sick minds. We might as well start sacrificing children to Molok. "... it is they whom God has graced with His guidance, and it is they who are endowed with insight! (1" It is no mean gift. Salaam

The brain activity in the video occured after clinical death (no breathing, no bloodpresure). The brain is not necessarily yet completely dead. The doctor in the video said, they speculate, that this last brain activity could form peoples near death experiences. I think, people with an NDE have an out of Body experience, but there is still a however thin connection to the body. People who had an NDE often report, they were shown a border. When they would cross that border, they can not come back. Could this be the moment, when there is this last surge in brain activity occures? But no one came back after crossing that border to tell us how it is there.

I believe it is a matter of definition and the specific referent. The Definition 'Quranism' is defined as that specific referent of a belief which is totally represented by 100% of what is in the Quran only and nothing else as revealed to Prophet Muhammad from Allah via angel Gabriel between 610 to 632 AD. The word 'Quranism' is not an issue, what is critical is the defined referent or concept which can be labelled ABCD, XYZ, or words in any language. Note "A rose in any name ..." So Quranism or Quranists who adopt Quranism in that sense is not a sect. However as usual there will be sects within Quranism when each sect interpret the verses in the Quran differently, e.g. the sect of Rashad Khalifa, Edip Yuksel, G A Parwez, Shabbir Ahmed, Ashif Khan, etc. So it is a matter of definition. Quranism as defined above is not a sect, it is a concept of a specific referent. As can be noted in the definition of Quranism above, Quranism in fact represent 'Islam' and 'Muslims' in essence. Then i have to be careful then, im actually following a group involving Dr Shabbir Ahmeds translation https//www.facebook.com/groups/qxp123/?ref=nf_target&fref=nf There are good people in there and they dont like sectarianism.

Quran has a lunar-solar calender. If it's merely solar or lunar and not both, we wouldn't know the timing of Ramadhan and we wouldn't know when the 1 extra lunar month is. The first full moon AFTER June 21, the longest daytime of the year... let's call it the hot full moon as it initiates the hellish (981) hot days. Notice the arrival of the hot full moon of the year you are in. If it arrives 19 days later than the previous one, you would know that the 1 extra lunar month is before it (https//www.timeanddate.com/calendar/?year=2015&country=74) -------1----------2--------3--------4--------5--------6---------7-----------8----------9------10-------11-------12------13 Jul. 02 2015-Jul 31-Aug 29-Sep 28-Oct 27-Nov 25-Dec 25-Jan 24 2016-Feb 22-Mar 23-Apr 22-May 21-Jun 20 Jul. 20 2016-Aug 18-Sep 16-Oct 16-Nov 14-Dec 14-Jan 12 2017-Feb 11-Mar 12-Apr 11-May 10-Jun 09 Jul. 09 2017-Aug 07-Sep 06-Oct 05-Nov 04-Dec 03-Jan 02 2018-Jan 31-Mar 02-Mar 31-Apr 30-May 29 6 is 19 days later than 5 because it was delayed by the 1 extra lunar month of June 20 BEFORE the longest daytime of the year. This year shahr ramadan is... July 09. For muslim believers fasting starts on the morning of July 10, after they witness the hot full moon. Whoever from among you witnesses that full moon shall, then, fast it.

peace all, The ONLY reasons given in Quran for sawm/abstinence is that it may develop tawqa/conscientiousness, so we may be thankful, and it was decreed for those before us. Quran says nothing about its health benefits, if any.

The punishment is there, but you need 4 witnesses. When you cheat or fornicate you don't do it in front of 4 people, especially if you know that you will be whipped. Your spouse can count as 4 people, and accuse you 4 times and swear to be truthful once. You can deny it 4 times and swear you're truthful once. So as you see, it's impossible to carry out this punishment.

What made the first people who were invited to them even accept them? Did they check them against their prior books or beliefs ? If you just look around you will always find that every religion is connected to one God. As the Quran shows, it all started from Adam's time. His teachings are distinct. He invites people to truth and compassion. But then he gets replaced by human gods who always leave behind evidence of their crimes in the religion in the form of cruelty and contradiction. It is very difficult to defend them unless threats are used to stop people from questioning, but the thoughts just don't easily go away. This is the story of us ex sunnis also. It seems things have not changed since the beginning of time. Probably, that is why, the people were able to accept? Do you think that nowaday people still have this awareness that people of old time were required to have in order for them to even recognize the truth and accept it, live by it ? They do, but they prefer to inhibit it.

It comes down to the meaning of kafara. I think that meaning is hishonesty, trying to convince ourselves or others that what is wrong is right, trying to make a lie pass. We get precisely what is described in this aya you mention 14.18. Whatever we do is like ashes blwn in te wind... nothing. What is a lie? a lie is something that is not, its being is precisely not being. Kafara is not to say I do not believe in God, if we do NOESTLY do not believe in God, whatever we consider God is or means. In this aya 14.18 the word God is not used, rather the word rabb is used. Rabb is translated by many as "lord", which is not saying much. Others translate as Sustainer, which says far more. It is clear from the word "go" that God is lord very much lord of everything and everyone. Rabb does not deny that, no name of god does, but certainly it is something added tht makes the difference. Sustainer is fine. Tha aya says "those who are dishonest with their sustainer"that is, with what sustains them, with what gives them substance and entity. If we were budling something and did that, ignore the substance we are working with, what holds it together and makes it into what it is, what is going to happen? Certainly not what we hope for, and we will be cheating urselves if we say tht we should what we hope for, because we have tricked in the essentials. We are not transofmring ourselves into something better, be it very, very little. We are cheating. We may keep up appearances, but that is it. That is the problem with many overreligious pretenders and "reformers of people via political islam. What they get is a rotten society given completely to eppearances and not to goodness. Not seeking the power to transform our hearts and minds to get closer to our sustainer, but seeking to cheat our peers trough our apparent adherence to religious duties. Popular wisdom says that lies have short legs... And lying to ourselves has them shorter than short. Salaam

I wouldn't call it hate. "Bitter" would be the right word. You know how it feels when everyone rejects your words and accuse you of lying. How it feels when you try to alert people of impending doom but they all shrug it off and say you are going insane, they say they are worried about you and you need help. When I first turned to Quran alone, I approached my family on sensitive areas such as death for apostasy, amputation for theft, stoning for adultery I thought they"ll at least admit the barbarity of these practices but they didn't, they tried to sweep the whole thing under the rug, urging me to ignore such sensitive matters. To my parents, I was too young and inexperienced to appreciate sharia capital punishments. Then, they'll not allow me to pray without invoking Muhammad, nor perform ablution without rinsing my mouth and nostrils. When I tried explaining this to them, they mention bringing a local Imam to explain things to me. I had no hate for anyone but I was always in grief that despite discovering the truth, I still never my freedom.

Ask yourself these questions Does The Quran you read come across as wanting to glorify prophets more than God? What's more important the messenger or the message? Do Muslims = islam? If you find a Muslim doing a bad thing does that disprove islam? Are my questions relevant? Have I looked into history enough to form a conclusion? Is history relevant?

I feel you neptin I hope god tells these "muslims" of what they've done. Stay safe hail

Why is it unfair? I think it is fair. Girl gets half of inheritance because she will get the dowry anyway from her husband. Alternatively she will be supported by her brother etc. A boy doesn't have this luxury. He needs to work and "leave" parent house. Peace, Not question of fair/unfair -- it does not say girls always get half or if 3+ or if one they're alone. Main issue is people do not read or read into Qu'ran words parroted for ages that are not there. Indeed this exchange has helped me greatly to see a bit more than before in the question of inheritance. ... So it all comes to what may have been bequeathed by will to other persons, since the forced inheritors share into what is left after legacies and debts. in 4.176 the is nomention of the shares being distributed after any legacies or debts, but I supposed by now it is to be self-evident that it is so. I would appreciate comments. Salaam huruf, Verse numbers are not topic separators only for easy reference and whole Qu'ran should be cross-reference. Yes any dept always needs to be taken care of first... 2282 O you the ones believes ye of when contracted among you bidaynin/in debt 411 ... from after instruction/behest instructed in it or daynin/dept 412 and for you ... from after instruction/behest instructed they (f/p) in it or dept and for them ... from after instruction/behest thou making in it or dept ... and if be man inherited kallatan (spouse-less childless case) or woman ... from after instruction/behest instructed in it or dept

Don't be so harsh on me I am still figuring it out - the 19. I just stated what I think. I don't necesserally believe it. Also, the facebook page is still work in progress and it is not 100% that I will include absolutely everything Including the 19 - if I realize it is not what i seek (hope the Lord guides me). no my brother i m not harsh on you.. just telling you that before posting anything public make sure you research it fully ... the code nineteen theory have lot of flaws in it and when a common person ask you the drawbacks about this theory you wil not be able to backup .. in this way the promotion of that fb page turn into mocking for non beleivers... hope you got it.. and best of luck for your project ... may God guide us all to the right path..

if sectarian islam really is the fastest growing religion than off to jupiter i go giveup jedi angel I have a feeling that it has something to do with ISIS because their religion is based on finance instead of Islam. The second thing probably is the fact that more people in the west are choosing to not affiliate with any religions esp Christianity. That would make population of other religions esp Muslims look more in number. I see a few converts who seem to think leading life like an Arab equals to being Muslim.

Salam Janet, From my point, me having performed GMO adds to the specific subjective intepretation of a verse to mean GMO - as specified in my previous posts. With this point reiterated, I agree with your previous posts on agreeing to end this debate at this point. Salam Ed

God bless you too brother.. for me my blessing is strange he blessed me with my father death when i didnt even able to speak at nine months age.. he blessed me with the uncles full of opressors(where i get afraid more of them instead of God) he blessed my every honest work with unsuccess work/business he blessed my mother with lot of pain the women who i always see praying five times a day(sometimes night prayer tajjad) with one prayer longer than an hour.. she prays a lot when i asked from my elder sisters they say same thing .. so basically if she is (75 my sister who is 52 no) she saw her praying but what is the reward .. all of her kids are miles away from her and .. anyway... the reward of 50 years prayers i can clearly see.. what i wish more from my God ... i m waiting for more blessings...or perhaps one day i will be one of those who according to quran are losers.. that dosent matter anyway becoz what i can do if he write a loser in my destiny or anybody else destiny.. i was influenced by negetive thinking of life due to which i just write whatsup comes in my mind..(without verification of heart) on other words my these statements are not really the way i presented them.. i want to add more things in it.. to complete the story this time heart and mind are activated.. i m blessed that after taking my father from me you blessed me 3 uncles full of love out of 4 , fourth one till date also claim he love me.. i m blessed that even after my stubborn nature of childhood nobody ever mistreat me , not in home or in outside.. (some small incidents happens with everybody life so its forgetabble anyway).. i m blessed i have a mother full of love and care from my childhood till today.. i m blessed that i did great jobs and respected jobs in my life in which i never accused of being a dishonest worker on other hand i get awards and achievements throughout my academic and professional career.. i m blessed tht my mother recover soon after pain with the blessing of God within a first year of cancer..(i never saw any cancer case recover so quick like this with in year at 75 years age) i m blessed that my mother loves God and she said i m very happy from God for whatever he gives me and she said she is fully peaceful from heart ..

Does this also excluude atheists?? 274 Indeed, for those who do not believe in the Hereafter, We have made pleasing to them their deeds, so they wander blindly. God is the one who will judge everybody according to the laws .. (and he knows whats inside the chests) RED athiest and everybody else who dnt beleive in hereafter , its mean they dnt beleive in the law of accountability & judgement of action.. it can b anybody regardless of race/label.. BOLD beautiful verse i agree.. look this verse from this angle.. 274 Those who do not believe in the Eternity of the ?self?, will obviously deny the continuation of life after death. Our law makes their deeds of instant gratification pleasing in their eyes and so they keep stumbling blindly to and fro. peace
