An English translation of the Quran - 543 Why do they ask you to judge among them, when they have the Torah, containing GOD's law, and they chose to disregard it? They are not believers., So in the lifetime of Mohammed, the Torah was present. An English translation of the Quran - 33 He sent down to you this scripture, truthfully, confirming all previous scriptures, and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel, An English translation of the Gospel - Matthew 517 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. And in the lifetime of Jesus, son of Mary, the Messiah, the Torah was present. So yeah, if you need more examples feel free to respond. The point is, people who write things in the name of God which are false, and people who distort the pen and paper doesn't make the original corrupt. Just use your eyes, and look how much copies there are in the Arab World of the Quran, just use your eyes and look how much copies there are in the Holy Land of the Torah. Just use your eyes, look how much copies there are of the Gospel, and the Gospel is the most copied document in history. An English translation of the Quran - 159 Indeed it is We who have sent down the Reminder, and indeed it is We who will preserve it.

Can you elaborate on this or have her elaborate? Oops, I didn't see your question. I'll ask her to send me the paper link so I can post it here.

but no you declare the stone tablets wooden and want me to disprove you. It's you who need to prove they are wooden, I think you confuse me with someone else and that Moses received more then two tablets. yes I am still waiting on the verse about your wooden tablets wasn't me nope and on your explanation of the Arabic word "alwah" and why it does mean more then two tablets in this context according to your OWN understanding. to tired, maybe next time May the Lord guide me, do not worry about me. Worry about your own soul. I will

yes brother jaffar i fully agree with you , but .. i have a question or may b my understanding... if we look in to this huge cosmos which is sooooooo huge that we have to calculate distances in light years and its million of light years from one galaxiy to another and millions of galaxies ... still expanding by huge speed... if we see is it just for this small planet ... as i know one theory suggest that all life of earth cannot be possible if all that system of galaxies is not in harmony , on other words just for running this small planet of life all that stuff is there or it can be another reason behind this.. Self Importance is the product of arrogance. And arrogance is the product of ignorance.. The ancient chinese used to think the entire heaven and earth were created only for them and they're in the center of 'everything', that's why they call their own country "Zhong Guo".. the "Central Nation". And so does other human in the past... The actual reality might not be in agreement to their self-importance world view.. When the planet called earth doesn't exist.. it doesn't cause any damage to the cosmos... There might be trillions of other lifeforms living inside some planet (or moon) in another solar system both on the same galaxy as ours or inside trillions of other galaxies.. actually i i have an idea , is it posibble that the heaven/janna what God will create after the final judgement will be created by that stuff that y it all there getting purposeful ... so that we may pay heed that its like raw material for heaven.. may b i m wrong... but when scientist claim that all that huge system of cosmos is a neccessity of life on planet earth .. it makes me think deep .. although its another sign when God say us to reflect upon creation how we created it and perfected it... Human has been wrong in the past about many things.. and will continue to be in the future.. But in any case.. they are always at awe when they found out the actual truth...

what is the difference between them(enuch) and transgender..? its such confusing now... people claim transgender are naturally born males of female version... half male half female... i just could not get it all my life trust me..

Same old story right now! Are we building an 'ark' for ourselves? The end will come when the majority are too busy living. Are we currently too busy living (enjoying the world) or Majority of us are just suffering (being oppressed) and not living? Most people in the world are finding pleasure in oppression. In fact, it is quite common for many to think that oppression is freedom and path to heaven whether it is in this world or afterlife. That said, I do believe the current time is a bit better than before and I am sure things won't stay like this in the future. I smell more corruption. Maybe the majority are just oblivious to the world and continue their lives just working to live. That pretty much sums up our current American society. There is truly something wrong here. Its the land of opportunity. In the past, it was taken seriously. Our current government is trying its best to get people to have some kind of small business. Free consultation, free mentor, loan, offer of selling things directly to government...we have everything in place, but very few people actually want to take advantage of that. They'd rather annoy others by complaining about their workplaces and worrying about how they might get laid off just any day! And maybe the majority of the minority few whose ego believes that they are somewhat 'enlightened/saved/chosen' are caught in inactivity without strength to make any changes required except wait and visit blogs to pass time. And only the minority of the minority actually does something to make changes. Yeah, that's the saddest part.

Salaam, Jafar, that's a good point about not all religions associating hell with fire. Man of Faith what you say is funny and true. Unfortunately nowadays the concept of heaven is definitely a place where all the physical senses are nourished and apparently none of the spiritual/metaphysical ones -) Regards, Janet.

Once again the passage does not say what you state. There is no die in the first phrase, it is not the right root allegedly stated by the medieval interpreters. The right word needs to contain a Waw (&#1608 before Te in order for it to convey the right meaning linguistically. This is because the word is a structure based on Ma (no/not) and Character/characteristic, i.e. says letter by letter "without character" or plainly dead/lifeless. Without the adjoining Alif variant (Waw) letter the word lacks to convey the proper meaning. But it is quite futile for me to argue about this since you have full faith in that Arabic invented by imaginative clergymen of the past and whose Arabic grammar was in many cases wrong. We may as well agree to disagree. Be well Amenuel

Thanks Adam !

As time is passing, the knowledge of Islam is becoming corrupted. The only guidance we can receive is from our Quran because it can never be altered. ALLAH is the supreme. He runs the universe. Sometimes people ask ALLAH to show them the miraculous. Because they want to know if ALLAH exist. But they fail to realize the fact that everything around us is a miracle. He is already showing us the miraculous on daily basic. If we want to receive the guidance then we should read the translation of Quran. Prayers, patience and Quran can guide a Muslim to succeed in this life and the afterlife. The only thing that (so far) hasn't change so much is human tendency to idolize something.. whether it's in a form of statue, amulet, people including dead people, book or a set of books / scrolls.. It's not as if it's something bad or evil.. it just the nature of human being... The most 'damaging' doctrine within the religion / tradition of Islam is about "God has stopped the revelation" to humankind. While as matter of fact it hasn't. Such doctrine makes the society who adopted such tradition to stop seeking and questioning or even hope for new revelation and knowledge from the true God... For those who seek guidance from the true God, the God of compassion and all knowing.. what they need to do is just ask and seek.. and they will eventually received it.. the channel of the revelation doesn't matter, the true God has trillions of channel and media of communication... The true God's law cannot be altered.. while books and words can easily be altered by human... It has been proven that we have been wrong about so many things about this universe. Many things that what we think as truth 1400 years ago turns out to be false... And the revelation from God hasn't stopped.. 1400 years from now, many things that we now know as truth will turns out to be false... Seek out the revelation, because it hasn't stopped.. Be open minded, never stop questioning, asking, thinking and pondering... God is always with us all and shall guide those who asked.. regardless of the religion, race, ancestry, identity, ideology, nationality etc....

An English translation of the Gospel - Matthew 518 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Jesus refers to the 'Ten Commandments'. He means that it is still the same kind of things to refrain from until the end of time. Jesus clarified that nothing will be removed, but he elaborated on the very same law, gave valuable insight. It is the underlying drive to trespass on the commandments which is the interesting part rather than the law being a sterile law. Jesus said for example that "... I tell you that if you even look upon a woman with desire you have committed adultery in your mind". Each time you get aroused by the looks of a woman or man it is adultery. It is the instinctive call that been triggered. Such was his purpose, even the word Enjeel could be interpreted as elaboration. At his time it was wise to figure out what he was getting at. Now you get it explained thoroughly. Be well Amenuel

Yes, it does, if we think and accept the knowledge we get. Nooh a.s. and his people were "qarn", the whole population ON the Earth. Allah swt carried him ON something of elwahi and dusur, and He called it El-Fulk. Allah's bless and selam.

Quran suffices. Salam An English translation of the Quran - 3199 And from the people of the Book are those who believe in God and what was sent down to you and what was sent down to them; fearful to God, they do not purchase with the revelations of God a cheap price. These will have their recompense with their Lord. For God is swift in reckoning. Even if you interpreteted it as "people of the Book" are the people of the "Bible", while the Quran itself is also a Book. It shows that they believe in God and what was sent down to them and in that was sent down to Mohammed. And again, it used the word Revelation in plural form. And alot, if not most of all 100+ verses that i did share with you in the last 2 days, say "Revelations" with a big "S" at the end. An English translationg of the Quran - 2947 And similarly, We have sent down to you the Book. Thus, those whom We have given the Book will believe in it. Also, some of your people will believe in it. The only ones who mock Our revelations are the rejecters. What made the people of the Gospel, the people of the Book in the first place? Them receiving a Book! What made the people of the Psalms, the people of the Book? Them having a Book! What made the people of the Torah, the people of the Book? Them having a Book! What made me one of the people of the Book? Me receiving a Book! An English translation of the Quran - 22 That is the Book in which there is no doubt, a guidance for the righteous. An English translation of the Quran - 287 And We gave Moses the Book, and after him We sent the messengers. And We gave Jesus, son of Mary, the clear proofs, and We supported him with the Holy Spirit. Is it that every time a messenger comes to you with what your souls do not desire, you become arrogant? A group of them you deny, and a group of them you kill! An English translation of the Quran - 289 And when a Book came to them from God, authenticating what is with them; while before that they were mocking those who rejected; so when what they knew came to them, they rejected it! The curse of God be upon the rejecters. An English translation of the Quran - 2101 And when a messenger came to them from God, authenticating what was with them, a group of those who had already received the Book placed the Book of God behind their backs as if they did not know. An English translation of the Quran - 2145 And if you come to those who have been given the Book with every sign they will not follow your focal point, nor will you follow their focal point, nor will some of them even follow each others focal point. And if you were to follow their desires after the knowledge that has come to you, then you would be one of the wicked. An English translation of the Quran - 2213 The people used to be one nation, then God sent the prophets as bearers of good news and warners, and He sent down with them the Book with the truth so that they may judge between the people in what they were disputing. But after receiving the clarity, the people disputed in it due to animosity between them. And God guided those who believed with His permission regarding what they disputed in of the truth. And God guides whoever He wishes to a straight path. An English translation of the Quran - 323 Did you not see those who were given a portion of the Book being invited to the Book of God to judge between them, then a group of them turns away while they are adverse? For further study, read at least these verses 348, 364, 365, 369, 370, 371, 372, 375, 378, 379, 381, 398, 399, 3100, 3110, 3113, 3119, 3164, 3184, 3186, 3187, 3199, 424, 444, 447, 451, 454, 4103, 4105, 4113, 4123, 4127, 4131, 4136, 4140, 4153, 4159, 4171, 55, 515, 519, 544, 548, 557, 559, 565, 568, 577, 5110, 67, 620, 689, 691, 692, 6114, 6154, 6156, 6157, 72, 752, 7169, 7170, 7196, 875, 929, 936, 101, 1037, 1094, 111, 1117, 11110, 121, 131, 1336, 1338, 1339, 1343, 141, 151, 1664, 1689, 172, 174, 1771, 1793, 181, 1827, 1912, 1916, 1930, 1941, 1951, 1954, 1956, 21104, 228, 2349, 2535, 262, 271, 2740, 282, 2843, 2849, 2852, 2886, 2927, 2945, 2946, 2947, 2948, 2951, 312, 3120, 322, 3223, 336, 3326, 3444, 3525, 3529, 3531, 3532, 3540, 37117, 3829, 391, 392, 3923, 3941, 402, 4053, 4070, 4141, 4145, 4214, 4215, 4217, 4252, 432, 4321, 442, 452, 4516, 4528, 462, 464, 4612, 4630, 5716, 5725, 5726, 5729, 592, 5911, 622, 625, 6612, 7431, 981, 983, 984, 986, Anyways, just stop repeating yourself. An English translation of the Quran - 631 When the hypocrites come to you they say "We bear witness that you are the messenger of God." And God knows that you are His messenger, and God bears witness that the hypocrites are liars. The phrase "We bear witness that you are the messenger of God." didn't make them believers after all. If you don't want to believe in the Torah, Psalms and Gospel, while Mohammed the Prophet of the Quran believed in the Books of God, at least do not misguide people by telling them false doctrines. You didn't read the Bible yet, so how do you know after all. It's nearly the same as some western people who think they know what "Islam" is by following the mainstream media while not believing in the Quran and not reading it except by reading misquoted verses from translations that are not perfect. Anyways, peace, just don't bother me please.

People turn against me when I tell them to abandon Hadith, some call it Kufr and some say its my pride. To be honest, I'm scared I might lose alot of people if I tell them the truth and my parents will be sooo upset. An English translation of the Quran - 737 Who is more wicked than he who invents lies about God, or denies His revelations? These will receive their recompense from the record; so that when Our messengers come to terminate their lives, they will say "Where are those whom you used to call on besides God?" They said "They have abandoned us!" And they bore witness upon themselves that they were rejecters. An English translation of the Quran - 10104 Say "O people, if you are in doubt of my system, then I do not serve those whom you serve besides God. But I serve God; the One who will terminate your lives; and I have been commanded to be of the believers." An English translation of the Quran - 3513 He merges the night into the day, and He merges the day into the night. And He has commissioned the sun and the moon, each running for an appointed term. Such is God your Lord; to Him is the sovereignty. And as for those whom you pray to besides Him, they do not possess even the shell of a seed. An English translation of the Quran - 3540 Say "Do you see the partners whom you have called on besides God? Show me what they have created on the earth. Or do they possess any partnership in the heavens? Or have We given them a book wherein they are taking knowledge from it? Indeed, what the transgressors promise one another is no more than arrogance." An English translation of the Quran - 4066 Say "I have been prohibited from serving those whom you are calling upon besides God, since the proofs have come to me from my Lord. And I have been commanded to submit to the Lord of the worlds."

Evidence? I hand you evidence every time and usually more than one argument. For you to verify it requires some own independent research though or it stands word against word. It is fully possible for anyone other than me to accomplish what I have done though and I am not unique in that. But nevertheless I was the one who began to question Quran utterly and that was foretold in prophecies already from the past, even before the compilation of Quran with between 500-1000 years. You should know humans are not so free in their thinking as they would care to say and it fools them. You cannot believe that the corruption is so systematic as it is and this is your main problem and which causes you to be deluded. If you would open your mind it goes quite fast to realize the Quran has severe problems related to its interpretation. And let us say the interpretation would have been correct then it would be a a false invented scripture due to its primitive nature. It amazes me that no one sees it is just something full of mumbo-jumbo and you can easily utilize logic to expose and make it fall, such as I have done already, take the "pet farm" you are looking forward so much to as an example. Be well Amenuel

You say that as if it is a bad thing... Quran 4133 And who (is) better (in) speech than (one) who invites to Allah and does righteous (deeds) and says, "Indeed, I am of those who submit?" Quran 5101-102 O you who believe! (Do) not ask about things if made clear to you, it may distress you and if you ask about it when the Quran is being revealed it would be made clear to you. Allah has pardoned it, and Allah (is) Oft-Forgiving, All-Forbearing. Indeed, asked them a people before you, then they became thereby disbelievers. What kind of better understanding does this topic have for you in establishing the prayer, giving the zakah, enjoining in the right and forbidding from the wrong? Fear Allah if you are a believer That's no excuse. Who says those are the only options for reading Quran. You should be asking for tools to study more efficiently rather than looking for quick responses from others you presume are experts or have some kind of insight. Word for word translations are your go to study tools/translations. These are projects from group efforts in which there are few errors here and there, but that is why I would use these tools in conjunction with lexicons, for those terms and definitions that convey multiple meanings 1)http//corpus.quran.com/wordbyword.jsp?chapter=1&verse=1 2)http//www.islamawakened.com/index.php/qur-an 3)http//www.studyquran.co.uk/PRLonline.htm Use them by all means they are free YOU TOO HANSOLO Same advice as above. In response to the red... The Lord's Truth is not that which you can accept if YOU FEEL is right or that which you can reject if YOU FEEL is wrong. Especially not when you are making those decisions based on views that are shared from others. No no no, the Truth from your Lord is evidenced in the Scripture itself (in its oft-repeating parts) and He Alone can guide you to the correct interpretation and understanding. For this patience and determination is required. 7517-19 Indeed, upon Us (is) its collection and its recitation. And when We have recited it, then follow its recitation. Then indeed, upon Us (is) its explanation. Who is the explanation due upon, I will ask you? Is it Hansolo? Is it Wakas? Is it me? Is it the collection of all the members put together in sharing views and opinions? No. It is due upon Allah. And although our Lord might have bestowed upon some of us understanding concerning a matter it may be that even if we convey it to you it will obscure you because unless Allah wills it you will not grasp a thing. Is it not better then to seek Allah's guidance concerning His Own Words when He is All-Able to seal your mind to the truth because you seek the help of men instead of His Help? Glorified is He! Allah, The Absolute, The Irresistible! Sustainer of all that exists! There is nothing defensive about my response. It is rather a warning, but none take heed of the warnings except those who turn 4013 There is nothing aggressive about my words reminding people to read Quran and reminding them of the verses from their lord is aggressive and defensive? Really? Ponder over your response and words Your above comment is so irrelevant, and your assumptions of me is wrong... because what does the topic question have in relation to any beliefs exactly or beliefs that you presume I hold??? I am only concerned about the pattern exhibited by this member who I would like to see refraining from a behavior that is not only detrimental to himself but as I am having now to explain in this 5 paragraph response to you, it is also potentially harmfully influential. Read the Quran Peace Love how you keep twisting everything. I won't even try to explain anything since it's very clear it won't matter.

Peace hansolo. 4438 is about GOD. GOD did not create all this to amuse Himself or play a game!!!!!. 632 is about us. We play ans amuse ourselves in this life. So what is the problem that you see in these verses? GOD bless you. Peace.

Peace Man Of Faith. What you are saying here But people have worsened the corruption by adding non-native diacritics and even changed words in it as is evident from the manuscripts of Sana'a. These people formed the interpretation as according to themselves and I am curious of how truly interested they were in getting to know what it really said. This does not make sense!!! You are saying "Shayatin " have taken control of Qoran. Have you studied interlock? See how GOD guards Qoran!!! Impossible to corrupt what GOD has guarded even if they add or take away!!!!. Basically, if you look back at most of your posts, you are contradicting what Qoran is saying. But like often, you will answer,justifying what you are saying by mere talk. No evidence seen from you yet? Anyway,just advising you brother to study Qoran properly,instead of trying to invent a new Arabic language. But it is your choice. GOD bless you. Peace.

And give the relatives his right, and the needy, and the wayfarer, and (do) not spend wastefully.1726 And when it is said to them, "Spend from what (has) provided you Allah." Said those who disbelieved to those who believed, "Should we feed whom if Allah willed - He would have fed him?" Not (are) you except in an error clear.3647 For the poor, those who are wrapped up in (the) way (of) Allah, not they are able (to) move about in the earth. Think (about) them, the ignorant one, (that they are) self-sufficient (because) of (their) restraint, you recognize them by their mark. Not (do) they ask the people with importunity. And whatever you spend of good, then indeed, Allah of it (is) All-Knower.2273 In Adam Smith's words, use the invisible hand if you have money.
