    O
    It is like when we have a nightmare, we awake and are so relieved. I do not dwell in those thoughts but the little I think of it I find it so awful... and feel relieved that it i not so, that it cannot be so because it is already something else which makes it impossible and we do have REAL problems already that give us not teoretical but real headaches. Thank God. Salaam Does the Quran give any credance to the concept of our lives before this life? I ask this because sometimes it feels like when i wake up from a dream it is as if I have at some time actually lived through that. Could those dreams be a memory that our "rooh" takes with it when Allah (swt) puts us back into a new world? Does anyone here think that reincarnation, not on the same earth as we now live on, but reincarnation on earths that are created through the scientific concept of contraction and expanion of the universe (the big bang and the Big crunch), can occur as per the laws laid out in the Quran? Could the stories of nations that have been destroyed actually refer to past instances of humanity that were created and then destroyed on planets similar to earth? Life itself could actually be the qiamat (or hell), till the time we cleanse our souls of the dirt and move beyond the need for further reincarnation. Yea I know it seems far fetched, but when I read the Quran I get the feeling as if the stories of nations destroyed did not refer to small villages but the whole of humanity, but in a different time and space of the universe itself. Destroying a small village for gayness or whatever can have no impact on the humanity as a whole living on the planet if 99% of them don't even know if it happened or not.

    As I told here http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9608381.0, the Hell is eternal; the fear is logical knowing I'm a disbeliever and due to my nonchalance. hell is eternal in a sense , everything is balanced , obviously the punishment depends on crime, for a person who did one crime and for the person who did hundred crimes, are different, thats what logic and reason told us , in this worldy life we cannot punish somebody whose crimes are far greartor than his life span, whether he kills one , or hundred , whether he steal one rs or one million pounds , the law sentencing is same. but in hell the situation will be different , people like hitler there sentencing there will b like millions years, and its not necessarily fire, God always punish people in such a way the feel it from inside out, example one is wishing for a house, car, love , music, anything now God knows his weakness , and God will punish him what he was desiring, the situation of hellfire will be same there will be a situation where depression anxiety and punishment being kept somebody in jail . guarded by 19 angels lols, like police offficers in jail even in jail there are catagories some are hard core criminals in shackles of dark small 6 by 4 room(cell) our character will never die and its character that will suffer the conseques , something similar between consiousness, on the other hand , the people of pardise will rewarded from some next level facilitires which we can only imagine in this world example, the tecnnology from which you visit moon, jupiter within a glimpse of time , travelling through galaxies in a matter of time, full independence of enjoying the laws which we once under the control of nature, like in the same time you can see suset sun rise. the valley in which you approach a river floating in reverse gravity or a river full of pure milk , and for drinker, a valley in which rivers of wine flow lolxxx and they will have it as much as they want, in this life the bars are quite expensive to afford and drink is nasty, all are examples although but its for our understanding one should do good for reward, at the first instant when God offered us a trust we all accepted it . becoz we are always very unjustful and ignorant , everybody was thinking like this its just matter of worldy years so acccept it , we will rewarded . but they forget it was a big test, and most of the people cant do patience.

    In good times one must prepare for bad times Quran 1243 The king said, "I saw seven fat cows being devoured by seven skinny cows, and seven green spikes (of wheat), and others shriveled... Quran 1246 "Joseph, O man of truth, explain to us the matter regarding seven fat cows being eaten by seven thin ones, and seven green pods and others which are dry? Then perhaps I may go back to the people so they will know." He said "You will plant regularly for seven years, and whatever you harvest you must leave it in its pods, except for the little that you will eat." "Then there will come seven after that which are severe and which will consume all that you plant except for what you have stored." "Then after that will come a year in which the people will have abundant rain and which they will be able to produce once again." In the story of Joseph, we are told that there will be seven wonderful years of plenty followed by seven terrible years of famine. Joseph seemed like a long-term thinker. He seemed to have vision. The story of Joseph exemplifies how we can face adversity, in my opinion. And I think his story teaches/instructs us to prepare for the future. The fact is that good times won't always last. A man or woman might have a full time job in the present, but he or she might lose his or her job in the future. A man or woman might live in a country which enjoys a good economy in the present, but his or her country might be struck by an economical crisis in the future. A man or woman might live in a country which enjoys peace in the present, but his or her country might turn into war zone in the future. Therefore, in good times, one must never forget that disaster may come. Some questions to ponder on Do we save part of our salary for the future? Can we defend our family or spouse if our country turns into a conflict zone? How many of us have at least two months of food stored up in our house? Quran 794-95 And We do not send a prophet to any town, except afterwards We afflict its people with adversity and hardship that they may implore. Then We replaced the bad with good, until they neglected and said "Our fathers were touched by both hardship and prosperity." We then take them suddenly, while they are unaware. Many animals prepare for the future. For example, many animals prepare for the winter, by storing food in the fall. So even animals seem to be aware that they should store food away. To sum up, in good times one must prepare for bad times.

    Peace be with you Some clarifications Each clear/precise/detailed verse of Al-Quran can be interpreted/represented into an equivalent statement of mathematical physics These mathematical physics statements present verifiable predictions which may be confirmed through scientific backing This means that a deductive reasoning and proof by contradiction is necessary to arrive at the Pure Justice of the Haqq/Truth of the Quran/The Reading This may be carried out by means of computational tools including formal logic, knowledge representation, information transfer analysis/data science This will lead to an iterative deduction of truth from dross as per 4913 With this process completed there will be analysis of quran containing a precise set of mathematical theorems and limits - these mathematical theorems and limits ARE the quran - they are the very core essence, the Spirit of the quran - whoever lives within these limits is then mathematically defined as one who surrenders - consequently there is no trace of doubt about anything These are boundary conditions on equations describing the physics, and statistics of Life - these natural boundaries are Absolute, Inviolable and are the Supreme Design - precise numbers Anyone can verify these boundary conditions - they are self-consistent, they belong to no individual servant Anyone can derive these conditions from their own presence of Spirit through truthful analysis Through formal logic - via deduction and proof each verse of quran referencing every other verse, we will find a precise set of interpretations and explanations - this is the full set of all interpretations which are of Haqq/Truth, an all-containing set of all possible views of each and every verse There can be no room for further questioning as this process is completed - the sure precise Way has been made known beyond any interpretation, it has been made distinct, all nuances and subtleties have been covered in the analysis Then the individual rankings in the Book of Illiyeen can be weighed out with a distinct measure By considering the highest rank and the principles of attainment of that rank with the due diligence applied in its study, one can derive a complete formal logical ontological representation of Surrender as fully described in the Quran - beyond all trace of doubt, question, defilement, the Pure Knowledge An example is given Read your book; your own self is sufficient as a reckoner against you this day. {1714} From this we can derive that A nafs' actions can be represented as a data set ("Kitab/Book/Record" - Holographic Geometry) This data set can be judged against a metric/standard of balance Those whose data sets succeed that test will enter Paradise O you who believe! be careful of (your duty to) Allah with the care which is due to Him, and do not die unless you are muslimuna. (3102) I.e. Data Set of Self Question Is Submit to Rabb = 1? Check State of Record => If 1 Then Paradise else Hell Each matter small or big can be analysed according to that precise routine. Each verse in its words can be translated into a mathematical statement. These are geometric limits on the spacetime - namely the pathways/courses that individual creations/geometries take through spacetime along the forward axis of universal motion (2nd law of thermodynamics/entropy/arrow of time) This may be known of as a Worldline, or a Worldvolume or a kind of Identity Vector - a list of statements (S1, S2, S3, S4, S5,...,S_finish) representing the physical space - the physical reality itself. This is inescapable and covers both the seen and the unseen though we cannot by definition behold the unseen save that which our Sustainer allows us. Each Self/Nafs can be represented as List of statements that Nafs contains (i.e. all of your sayings) Is Statement(n)=True where Statement = Descriptor of Haqq? Compare each Statement With Sunnatullah (also fully mathematically described i.e. using geometry) The Sunnatullah/The Way of Allah/The Nature Law does not change - it is Inviolable Decree and cannot be any other way. It is self-consistent. It is the same mathematical physics function which we see operating continuously independent of time. It is that which sets all the worldline/worldvolume geometries in place and aligns all the lists into their firm arrangement. Why is Idolatry/Shirk and Hypocrisy/Nifaq non-allowable? See {3370-73} Believers, have fear/awareness of God and speak righteous words. God will reform your deeds and forgive your sins. One who obeys God and His Messenger will certainly achieve a great success. We offered Our Trust (Our deputation) to the heavens, to the earth, and to the mountains, but they could not bear this burden and were afraid to accept it. Mankind was able to accept this offer but he was unjust to himself and ignorant of the significance of this Trust. (As a result of this) God will punish the hypocrites/munafiq and the polytheists/mushrik, but He will accept the repentance of the believers. God is All-forgiving and All-merciful. From the geometric point of view Data transfer is moving at luminal velocity (C) Any miscalculation of a data transfer is propagated at that luminal velocity - finite but absolute upper limit in the sense of "velocity", infinite in the sense of "rapidity" - do your research If we have precise information transfer (Haqq/Knowledge/Data/Information) then the end result is precisely ordained from the beginning Any miscalculation - if we have a vector containing n elements and a portion, "k" of n elements evaluate to 0 when compared with sunnatullah then k statements while propagated will cause loss - al-batil T=n-k statements will continue allowing material reality to continue with sufficient outcomes So consider The Absolute/The Supreme/The Inviolable always decrees all N of N statements with perfect consistency Each servant of the worldly life trial is subject to destiny and is capable of speaking truth or in some fashion falling deficient These deficiencies cause entire bubbles of the many-worlds landscape to remain as potential - "forbidding good" If someone knows truth and speaks opposite, they have fallen deficient - k of n statements from their identity will propagate at luminal velocity causing to mislead If someone does not know truth and follows blindly they have fallen deficient - they are open to those k of n statements which then pass through them and become them, such that k of n statements of their identity will propagate at luminal velocity We did not create the heavens and the earth just for fun. Had We wanted to play games, We could have certainly done so with things at hand. Nay, We fling the truth/Haqq against the falsehood/batil, so it destroys it, and behold, it (falsehood) is vanished. And woe to you for that which you ascribe/describe {2116-18} For each action there is a information transfer worldline to the final destination of the appointed day This is because the appointed day is the completion of the first heavens and earth This means that each action presents a trace from t(action) to t(final) and a worldline can be mapped of that action and its outcomes I hope this has so far clarified. I am asking for any questions and input however small or large as the severity of this work is life-critical. Why? Any failure in the line of information propagation generates deficiencies in the flow thereby causing some form of loss of survivability We have all experienced this - we would not be here otherwise, generally. Of the many worlds landscape/tree of potential future histories There are the highest And there are those deficient So each action can be measured as to which it sprung forth May The Absolute guide us all to total clarity sun Once again I am asking for any questions and input however small or large as the severity of this work is life-critical. If there is anything you feel I need to explain or analyse or present in a better fashion or improve upon please ask away.

    superstitions are nasty things, old supersticiousness, watching a black cat means you need to change your way. number 13 is witchcraft number or bad omen twising the eyes left or right indicate the bad and good news, now a days people are sharing the things if u send this message to 10 people u will get reward, if you dnt then face the consequences of punishment, wot the ,,,,, infact the perosn who dnt take any action its sure nothing will gona harm him but its sure the perosn who send it and make a condition with man made laws , he/shewill defiantely face consequenses. so i suggest as sooon you see messages like this delete it as quick as u can becoz if you share it you are earning a shirk and sin , and all these are devils tools nothing else,

    Sin lead lut to that evil path. Things like that don't just happen to good people being good. ALLAH is his protector what could lut have done to stop ALLAH from protecting him? Maybe he simply forgot ALLAH. But you don't just get raped for no reason especially by someone he's interacted with as much as his own daughter. I think watching all those animal discovery channel out had some part in this equation. ALLAH allowed him to fall into sin because he was deserving the lost of his way. Imagine all the unwanted sinners finally killed off and washed away from the surface of the earth.... Then the guy loses the fruit of this wonderful blessing.... He sleeps with his daughter and created a retard. A hated birth father and daughter, kid must be destroyed and burned in hell. Born an abomination. And now we have these kids sons killing and persecuting he righteous angry because he was born knowing God hated him and his birth. ..... I think out did the worst sin look at the lashing fruit of that deed.

    Also Tim The thing is that these chemicals in our blood stream makes the body feel and experience that was kinda the post center what makes these men feel in a dream or reality? We know it's water. We know it's earth. We know it's blood and bone and skin. But what could have effected these things for a once only vision? I believe it's chemical it always has to be we are nothing but these things. Also if the brain gets damages then the soul changes? Or spirit changes? Is their really a soul or spirit or is it simply calculation of choices made giving a probability of choice outcomes. That old fashion religion touched with some sciences really make religion a bit grimmer even to a atheistbut things get more plain

    Not necessarily, I've seen and met a patient, firm and steadfast human, across different culture and social identities.. A sense of peacefulness can be felt from them.. And usually such character also come with humbleness / humility.. I haven't seen the combination of patient, peaceful and arrogant / proud in human. Proud human usually impatient, hate / vengeful plus a bad temper.. actually its about human nature, sometimes you dnt want to do hate, impatient and bad temper but its due to other person u lose ur grip on tempo and shout at people but after a while u think within ur heart . lot of cases people do cheat with me, in money matters, personal matters and i start hating them becoz i was about to save them from troubles and i help them in the bad times and as soon they get their things sorted out they show their real face, that make me feel bad . not due to the money they take , but about their selfishness . i sometimmes cant help it, and after that i never trust that perosn , proud is something when you challange Allah in anyway or challange somebody who is weaker than you to jst give tenshn or depression to somebody who is helpless, and u know he /she cannnot do anything with you. or treat them like shit, in lot of cases people feel disgusting to siiting or eating with their servants.

    Every religion is based in a messenger the messenger comes to warn to remind. If not for a man or some guy who would even both to think deeply about creation? All religions even the Hindus had a messenger yet he has opposition. Look at their statues don't they look like men? Did the idol worship idols when they were simply men? I once went to a budhist temple and I saw the many budhas I knew them each had a focus sword in hand a messenger or teacher of war and it goes on who they are and what they were remembered for. Some Hindus were remembered for their live of elephants protecting them through their lives. Statues are not much different from mirrols showing a man and what he loved. The problem isn't hinduism, but evil men's urge to teach religions by lying about messengers and God. This is how corruption occurs. reel i remeber a joke while reading this post. a girl come to scholar and ask, girl mr scholar can i sleep with my boyfriend? scholar(traditional one) no. say astagfairullah. girl . ok can i sleep with my father ? scholar no never , say astagfirrulah. girl ok can i sleep with my brother? scholar get angry. never at any cost, devil is coming inside you say astagfirullah. girl ok can i sleep with you mr scholar? scholar feeling shy and say bismillah, there should be no delay in doing good deed. rotfl rotfl rotfl

    the difference is just in language not in meanings, both versions give same meanings and message, lets for an example, different areas have different language sets . english of britan and america gives you same meanings but different pronuniciation, punjabi is one langauge but every city of province punjab have own set of words but meaning of these words are same, same with arabic the arabic of africa and arabic of asia have different set of words but meanings are same, its due to a reason its in two versions. as far i think its more logical to have quran in two different set of languages may be in near future when the research on some unexpalined items we explore and one of them will give us a better understanding of meanings, recent example the word duhaha egg shapped, its in africa people say ostrich egg duhaha.which gives us a very excellent scientific understanding of earth shape. for example, nice , good, better, are three different words but having same meanings of understanding, same awal, wahid are two different words but same meanings. thats the only difference in these versions. @ advice you guys think that this book quran comes in the hand of prophet through printed version from allah in word to word shape ,thats not the case. its inspired or revelead to him and its prophet who write it down its inspiration, the way he writes this revelation is to make us understand, quran itself contain no errors. if europe was also arabic speaking continent at the time of prophet possibly you encounter three diff versions of quran but same meanings, or similar meannings. same and similar are also got one meanings, just kidding if you still beleive that sunnis claim prophet was unaware of being literate, its their own wish to make this claim(quran) more sound, but in the light of quran prophet already know how to read and write, but he was unaware about the tales of old thats what ummi means infact.

    Yes, don't WORRY about the fasting. There's no point in destroying the body just out of fear of not doing the right thing. Worry eats us up from inside. The human being is a very complex creation. The mind, and the blood, are extremely complex things. Seek help from our Rabb. Worry is a kind of blindness, not easy to overcome. Above all, seek help from the Rabb, and state your prayers in the positive.
