    And have you discovered what true islam is? Or to you it's a 'social identity'? a 'labeling'? Denouncing Islamism/Religionism (and also nationalism, tribalism etc..) is actually a step towards that purpose. Yes I already discovered it. Islam is not social identity, label nor the political movements Islam is the relation between human and God and how to became a proper being in the society. Label is just the name came from another people who see us. I label you as Jafar because I see your name is Jafar (even actually not). As islam has no dependency towards Quran and God has no dependency towards Quran . The word "Islam" itself came from the Quran and it's not even Arabic in gramatically. Even someone attempted to translate it as "Submission" or "Peacemaker", it still wrong way according to Arabic grammar. Just like YHVH in Hebrew which has no meaning even it "sound Hebrew".

    Peace, This is a sensitive topic, but there is something in what TheQuranAloneRevolution is saying. Anything else is against the design. That does not say that we must not respect the ones that are this way. However, we cannot close our eyes to the Truth and deny it. God bless you

    The question one should ask oneself is WHY one keeps mention a prophet. WHY? We should look deep within and dig out the REAL purpose. Is it perhaps fear? "what will happen if I don't mention the name?". I hear people who say they do it out of respect for the prophet. I could never understand this, and to me it sounds like a lame excuse, and like unconscious fear. WHY mention a prophet's name out of respect? Obviously any sane person would respect ANY and EVERY good person, prophets included... but what is the actual PURPOSE of mentioning their names? The message do not belong to the messengers. The messengers didn't create the message. The Creator did. Peace I agree that the purpose of prayer is to commemorate God not the prophet. But I don't see why mentioning names would be considered commemoration I mean like I said there is a verse in the Quran that the queen of Sheeba mention the name of Solomon while praying to God saying" I submitted to You O God with Solomon"( sorry I forgot what verse) so does this means the Queen of Sheeba commited shirk? I don't see God saying something to the Queen of Sheeba something negative. I mean if the intention is to ask God to bless a certain person why would that be haram? Again I believe that hadiths are questionable and I do my wudu like how God command us like washing only face, hands, forearms, rub our hair and feet to the ankles aND NOT MINDING HOW MANY TIMES..LOL. I also believe that art, music and dogs are not haram..lol.. and etc. Anyways just want to hear your views on this

    False allegations. Rashad did use hadith, but did not rely on hadith to reject the non-Quranic verses. His use of hadith was justified, since if there were such a historic addition to the manuscript (not the Quran!), Edip, Rashad has used Hadiths as a source of his defamation of the last 2 verses. This is the only place where he got his information from....

    You should have highlighted the issue. I know for a fact quite a few people I know in UK stated they would refuse to sell products such as alcohol and the company agreed to it before allowing employment. The problem is when you already work there, then decide you dont want to. Sometimes it might mean just leaving. This is up to you though, just because you are forbidden to consume it, doesn't mean you should stop other people from doing it. I wouldn't personally do it, but that is a personal opinion, not Quranic.

    Dear Friends There is a rational look at this topic here http//thecall.co.za/?p=256 It starts as follows.. "Is death a complete mystery? No-one has come back from death to relate his experience, so we might think there is no way of knowing what happens after we exit the world of the living. I?m not counting near death experiences because that?s what they are, ?near death? experiences, and not death, i.e. real death. I believe that it is not a completely mystery, just as it?s not a mystery to figure out what distant planets, millions of light years away, or strange phenomena such as a black hole could be like."

    There was the illustrious general Lilienthal, a Jew of the United States army, who opposed very vehemently the creation of the state of Israel. He worked hard against it. But the imperial aims of the British Empire later incorporated in the greater Anglosaxon(+) empire, bulldozed every opposition and did away with any semblance of honourability in any state institution of the countries they have corrupted from inside and undone. The world is imperilled. Those who still maintain a decorum and not catastrophic living standard grow fewer and fewer and will eventually be wiped. Every people can blame the Palestinians as much as they want for not conforming themselves to being wiped and genocided, but they must assume that that is the way all peoples in the world are bound to go. Only the imperials will survive and whatever human cattle they need for their amusement and pampering. We all accepted that when we turned our backs on the Palestinians, happy that it was them not us, and turning away from them because they were such a bore with their eternal complaints. Damnation is the fate of cowards who not happy with not opposing oppression they go a step further and blame the oppressed. I will not cry for that kind of people. I will be sorry for myself and those people who may not have been heroes but at least have not spat on the oppressed but on those who have poured venegar on the victims, I feel no pity, I am sad that it may have gone to that, but I feel no pity, they are despicable. The good name of people is the last thing they have when they are no more. Those who destroy the good name of the Palestinian people make me sick. May be God will make them understand the hard way. May God forgive us all. Salaam

    Peace - Rashad's unveiling of the 19 pattern is definitely worth mentioning There is no pattern only statistically meaningless predictable multiples which can be found in any text using any number 7, 11, 19, 29, inversely proportional smaller numbers yield more and larger have less. Btw, number is not written rather nineteen "entities" over feminine/it not Qur'an. 7430 over her nonet ten (i.e. group of nineteen) This is similar to group of nine entities spreading corruption... 2748 and be in the town nonet entourage spreading corruption Otherwise nine (i.e. number) would be written as below... 17101 and indeed gave we Moses nine signs 3823 surely this one brother mine for him nine and ninetieth (99) ewe

    Peace, You become quite isolated when you cannot go to the mosques or other temples, but how fun is it to participate in an act of worship when those in it are mentioning others than God in their Communion (prayer)? They are misguided and unaware of their disservice and arrogant that they are right despite the clear answer in The Book (Qur'an). As long as they are not confronted they are nice, but try to convince them that Muhammad is but a blessed servant of God in a series of Messengers and that he could have been any devoted person in history or say to Christians that Jesus is not the son of God. Sadly this verse from The Book is utterly true 12106 And most of them will not believe in God except while setting up partners. Or this 3945 And when God alone is mentioned, the hearts of those who do not believe in the Hereafter are filled with aversion; and when others are mentioned besides Him, they rejoice! Humans are so prone to take idols, is it because God is unseen and humans subconsciously need a physical object to worship? Idolizing Muhammad is not much different than the Children of Israel who communed through the calf. More advanced idolatry perhaps? God bless you

    Peace Neptin. Qoran is for the believers. If everyone was a believer, then Qoran and democracy will be compatible. " Rights and responsibilities" will be going hand in hand . However, democracy for everyone , as in society today, seems incompatible with Qoran because some want " rights" but no "responsibilities", or few " responsible" people will have no rights because of the majority. Also , democracy and " right and wrong" are not compatible sometimes. What is "right" and what is "wrong" cannot be changed. Many understand democracy as " rights" for everyone but fail to understand that " responsibilities" from everyone is very important. GOD bless you. Peace.
