    Man of Faith, Not only do you deserve the credit for this information, I should also have had encouraged people to look at your discoveries. You really did open my eyes to the obvious, so to speak. And as they say when one sees the obvious he starts to wonder how the others are still blind to the obvious? I wonder how could I not see it myself prior to reading your writings and logic. I guess I was too indulged in my body. The sensation of being aware and conscious is comforting, but you also feel sorry for all the people misled by deluded ancient clergymen or by themselves or other people into not believing in anything at all. Be well Amenuel

    Look,we have to stop with political correctness, we have to get down to creating a forum that's not going to have the kind of problems that we've had with people trying to...Look,I just left another thread and it was filled with a TREMENDOUS amount of Trolls! We have to find out what's going on! I said temporarily,i didn't say permanently,I said temporarily And i have many GREAT friends who are trolls and some of them,i would say not all,have called me and said Andrewsarchus, Thank you very much you're exposing an UNBELIEVABLE problem and we have to get to the bottom of it And unlike Jafar, where he refuses to even to use the term of what's going on,he can't use the term for whatever reason and if you can't use the term you're never gonna solve the problem. My troll friends some said,Thank you very much! we'll get to the bottom of it,we have a very serious problem and we can't be the stupid forum anymore,we're laughed at all over the internet! Troll terrorism is eating up large portions of this forum. They're becoming rich,i'm in competition with them. They just took over a thread in just the past 2 hours. Can you believe that? Mr.Jafar here came out of nowhere,he came out of nowhere,infact i'd go a step further,the people that went to school with him,they don't even..they don't even know him,they never saw him,they don't know who he is. They have no record,nothing to criticize. Look i get along with everybody,i get along with the trolls,people think i don't like trolls,i just helped them troll a sunni forum a few days back. I DON'T BELIEVE IN HETEROSEXUALITY. I think it's a big scam for a lot of people to make lot of money. BELIEVE ME! Why the losers and hater always say i wear a "wig" when they know i don't,like it or not it's all mine just ask Salin palin. My comments aren't really represented properly in the threads, They never discuss the real message,they never show my fanbase or enthusiasm. Crooked Man of Faith is protected by this forum,he's not a future messiah or politician.This dishonest forum refuses to expose! very very disrespectful! IT IS SO NICE THAT THE SHACKLES HAVE BEEN TAKEN OFF ME, You're FANTASTIC.. It will be you on my next wedding.. Our wedding will be HUUUGEE...

    If everyone somehow realises the following We are all created beings Our creator placed us in a controlled enclosure There?s adequate supply of everything to support us all We have technology to produce everything for our life?s comfort We have technology to manage all resource allocation Everyone lives to the max where technology can provide, no one is left out. Wastage nil or close to it. We have technology to help us assign or measure value to all things. We only produce optimum goods for consumption (ie no more version releases just to make money, advertising to differentiate where differentiation is unnecessary, value increases because of its purpose and resources required to produce). Everyone of us is free to do anything except oppressing someone else We use technology to create natural boundaries to avoid oppressing oneself (like over eating) and someone else (like war, terrorism). If we still use money, money is purely a medium of exchange not a commodity or store of wealth. Any surplus is redistributed to those having less. 14 All religions are prohibited. All we have is a single Creator and the items The above requires just a mindset change BUT a big jump in abandoning the past especially about money and scarcity of resources still taught in schools. We are already in a cornucopian economy. Basically, yes! But its the will to change, that stops us from making the world better. You know, maybe the people that create troubles in the world are not even humans. Or, they dont have souls so to say. Rather they are like NPC`s in a video game where their task is to create specific circumstances in the world to create tasks and quest for the players to accomplish. Or maybe the "end of times" comes where we actually do accomplish our task given by God and create a fair and just society under one God in this realm. Doesn't God say in the English translation of the Quran that God is creating worlds and its inhabitants over and over again. However he needs to start all over again, because the creations fail their task. However when Angels started to question God regards a new creation by the project name "ADAM", God told them that he knows something about this new creation ADAM, that they dont know about. Im asking God forgivness for our unfitness to accomplish our task and create His Kingdom on Earth as it is In Heaven. Hopefully, the change will come when our hearts will change.

    my brother, we all have to find and understand that the Qur'an is beyan for all things. This, for sure, doesn't mean that there's information about my height or weight or my hair color or when was noon y'day in my town. People get something as information and then they're trying to find it in the Qur'an, but this is bad approach. Because, we're not just testing information we got, but we're testing the Qur'an also. What I see as correct approach is to let the Qur'an and Allah through it teach us what is usefull for us and with what He's satisfied. Patience is the key... and He knows best. Btw, all the humans and jinn can try to explain to anybody a single harf from the Qur'an, but they'll fail, until Allah swt explains it to that person. Selam to Es-Sabiroon. bravo bravo bravo bravo bravo bravo bravo bravo bravo bravo bravo bravo bravo

    You're taking words as you wish, not as they stand there. If you notice the word "thumme" comes just after imperative and it's clear, I hope, that it connects two events, which happened one just after another. This also can explain how "kun" "works" and that it means just a change to something existing (created) and in this case it's temporaly. "Thumme" also reveals that another change happened and no changes happen unless He will so, and if He wills something he just order to it "kun". So, even it's not said, Allah swt said imperative twice here, and if you're trying with some different meaning for the first imperative, you should know what is next one, if they are not "die" and "be live". Maybe you'll understand it better if you think about 3 categories of those who can order something (which we should obey) Allah resulullah sawa Oolul-'emr. If you think, maybe you can see that Allah's order(ing) is separated and the other two are connected, on the same level. Maybe you can see that it's not same when Allah swt orders something and when some of the people do so. Maybe you can understand that same imperative used in 2243 and 3119 has different effects. Allah knows best.

    Salam, It's Free Minds Quran. I agree, it must be directed to the disbelievers, the confusion is when the verses shift very fast from speaking about believers then rejecters then believers. Thanks Salam

    That is it and tht is what is wrong with those questions about sex outside marriage. Sex is marriage, and the papers is only a guarantee for the sincere person not to be taken for a ride, and if he or she is then to have some defence from it. Sex may be a pleasure, but it is not a passtime. Harmful? cheating yourself is not harmful? Ginvig away your intimacey debasing it to a passtime is not harmful? Those are questions nobody can answer for somebody else. One oneself should ask her or himself what is expected of their doings and what consequences it may have morally, emotionally, philosophically... We are not beasts, we are no protected by instinct of everything harm we may get in. Dogs do not have any danger because in front of urges their instinct is their best protection they can have. Humans have memory, thought foresight emotions and attachments which are of a different kind than animals... Of course the end of the world won't come because of that, but each one of us has its own "end of the world" and many little catastrophes short of the end of the world which should warn us. And one last thing Has any one hear dof a trade exression called "lost profits". Must it always be "what harm"? Why not ask about the improvement we may loose, the opportunities for nowing ourselves better and doing better in our return to God? Avoiding harm may be good but procurring good is better. And while we are busy procurin good we avoid automatically harm. Salaam It is the hurting of another which is the most harmful thing.

    Peace. GOD gave us the freedom of choice.So people are free to choose. GOD also sent us instructions through messengers to try us if we "hear and obey". For those who "hear and obey" GOD has taught salat to Abraham and the instructions were passed on through the generations by a succession of messengers. For those who want to follow their"own salat" they have that choice also. GOD does not force anyone ,neither should we. GOD bless. Peace

    I enjoyed reading this, but I do have a couple remarks though. 1- the verse about butterflies seem to address all people, by giving a general description of the state of people and mountains..and then continues speaking of two groups the heavy weighted, and light weighted. So it seems that the verse is describing people in the state of panic, in my opinion. 2- This also implies that a complete spiritual growth can only happen after one dies. I.e even a prophet is a "caterpillar", and that no matter how you try, it is still not enough and that the final gateway is through death & rebirth. I've always wandered what could happen to one person whose heart is filled with the Light and is truely rightly guided, would he/she become something else ? a messenger ? or live life like everyone else just with a different view ? But according to your description, the person will remain as is until death takes him away. Thank you !

    Salaam to all, 5016 It was We Who created man, and We know what dark suggestions his soul makes to him for We are nearer to him than (his) jugular vein. | - And certainly| - We created| - man| - and We know| - what| - whispers| - to him| - his soul,| - and We| - (are) nearer| - to him| - than| - (his) jugular vein.| - (his) jugular vein.| One of the meanings of the word "habl" is cord. Ha-Ba-Lam = tie/fasten with rope, rope/cord, covenant, a thing by means of which one snares/catches/snares, obtaining an assurance/promise of safety, snare, to entrap, to captivate, being pregnant/full, bond, cause of union, link of connexion, marriage, carotid artery, jugular vein, calamity/misfortune, a foetus in the womb, grapevine, one who binds, crisped/plaited/rope-like hair (e.g. that of Ethiopians). The word "wareed" has many meanings. 1 warada (yaridu) (wurd) to come,arrive; to appear, show up; to be found, be met with, be said ( in a book, letter, etc.), be mentioned ( in); to reach ( or ,at), come to or ( a place), arrive get to, travel to; to be received ( by s.o.; letter, money, or the like), come to s.o.?s (&#1609 hands; to accrue, come ( to ( s.o.; revenue, proceeds, etc.) II to make s.th.) reach ( s.th. else or s.o.), get s.th. ( s.th.); to ( to bring in, import ( to ) supply, furnish, feed ( s.th. to); to deposit ( s.th. in), pay ( s.th. into) to make or have ( s.o., s.th.) come ( or ( to), bring, take or s.o., s.th. to); to transfer, convey, transport, move ( s.th. to a place); to import ( s.th.); to deposit, pay in ( an amount); to produce, present ( s.th.); to supply, furnish ( s.th.); to mention, state, set forth, bring up, allege, adduce, cite, quota ( s.th.), interpose, introduce, mention casually, drop in passing, throw in ( s.th., .,. in one?s speech) rd adduction, allegation, bringing up, mention(ing), citation, quotation. wrid pl. wurrd arriving; found, mentioned. The ayat tells us that the Creator is closer to man than the cord that states/mentions/sets forth/cites. This appears to be talking about the vocal cord. This idea is further strengthened by the following ayat. 5017 Behold, two (guardian angels) appointed to learn (his doings) learn (and noted them), one sitting on the right and one on the left | - When| - receive| - the two receivers| - on| - the right| - and on| - the left| - seated.| When the two receivers receive stationed on the right and on the left. This is talking about the ears which are the receivers of the sounds that reach them from the vocal cords. The following ayat supports this idea. 5018 Not a word does he utter but there is a sentinel by him, ready (to note it). | - Not| - he utters| - any| - word| - but| - with him| - (is) an observer| - ready.| 5016 mentions dark suggestions being made to man in his soul and the Creator being closer to man than the vocal cord. This literally means that the One who created us knows what we are going to be thinking even before we act upon it/verbalize it. Logically it would seem that the Creator has a more intimate knowledge of us than we do of ourselves. It is conceivable that the Creator is within us and outside of us simultaneously. Regards, Janet.

    I.e. bring something further out of context than it already is. What is even more fascinating is that people actually fall for the bizarre nature of their faith.
