General Issues / Questions

Al-Quran sensitizes mankind through the verse 168, Chapter 2 (216 to consume ?suitable? and ?pure / hygienic? things that one receives from the Earth and not to fall prey to the bidding of rejected Satan for being an ardent enemy. Al-Quran ordains people who have taken oath to remain faithful through the verse 172, Chapter 2 (2172) to consume pure / hygienic things from what is bestowed upon as provision and be grateful to Allah so as to prove oneself truly faithful. Al-Quran warns people who have taken oath to remain faithful through the verse 87 of Chapter 5 (587) not to pollute/desecrate pure / hygienic things that are awarded suitable for us by Allah and do not transgress for Allah does not have affection for the transgressors. Following the warning contained in 587, Verse 88 or Chapter 5 of Al-Quran (58 directs to consume suitable and pure / hygienic things bestowed upon by Allah as a provision and remain submissive to the Highest Authority to Whom one has chosen to remain bonded. The point at issue is as to whether ?Lahm of Livestock or Cattle? meets the requisite criteria of being pure and hygienic to be suitable for consumption by the human. A clear declaration has been made through the verse 145, Chapter 6 of Al-Quran (6145) with regard to the things to be taken as intake as below Tell them 'I do not find in what has been revealed to me anything forbidden for anyone to take as intake except it is perished, unsecured blood and flesh of swine (= Pig, hog, boar, beast), because all of which are indeed unclean; or profane to be approved by other than the Highest Authority. But whoso is compelled, neither craving nor transgressing, indeed your Lord is Forgiving, Merciful.(6145) Considered views on the issue are solicited. Thank you. Salaam!

Thanks for the answers everybody

Salam Hadiths are written to cause effective counter against Allah, His Quran and His Prophets, by the jews such as Buhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud and so on. Allah said to them And if you are in doubt about what We have sent down upon Our Servant, then produce a surah the like thereof and call upon your witnesses other than Allah, if you should be truthful. They took the Sura, Muhammad to challenge Allah and have brought about volumes of hundreds of thousands of stories on muhammad, his parents, his grand parents, his relatives, his tribes, his wives, his desires, his sex, his sons, his daughters, his in-laws, his friends, the Hira cave, the salat, the fasting, the zaqat, the sadaqah, the haj, the war, the inspiration, the death at 63 years and completed the story and their challenge to Allah, at that. The jews effectively have competed thus the sura Muhammad of Quran, which has nothing on Muhammad. Hadiths are written, said and compiled by the narrators and story makers, thousands of them that are associated to One God, as the Most Truthful revelationists besides Allah, by the adherents of hadiths who were the main sectarians in the path of Allah; today they further divide and divide non stop into uncountable sections and groups. Those who turn towards and East and West towards Meccan Stone are still in a way, deeply following hadiths and they are another group of sectarians away from the main stream of Quran Alone.

Salam brothers and sisters I need your help to understand why there is an "Al" before the haram things in 2173 and 53 whereas no "Al" before the same things declared haram for consumption in 6145. Peace Salaam, Not only "al" is missing but there are more differences, please take a look at this. And for "al", this thread may help you inshaAllah. May Allah increase our knowledge and guide us on His path pr mmKhan

How old is the air you are breathing? Can you close your ears? Who breathes in and out? Who is Air?

Brackets adding your own meaning, eh. Salam Yes, and that's why it is in brackets. Just wondering, it is not supposed to mean purified from shirk or polytheism? Peace p/s the Qur'an is also a translation...

peace There are countless many wonders to see. Knowledge of the Book, is also known as Samadhi absorption One stage of Samadhi is Savikalpa, which is turning to The God often. These are measurable states. The very Breath/Ruh of the person is in the action of turning to The God again and again with each breath, this is Samadhi and this is meditation/Salat. In doing this, the mental insinuations are allowed to shine and be comprehended, the habits are allowed to become malleable, the argumentative nature is satiated immediately by the nourishing water of the Light of Allah, Knowledge-Knowing-Knowingness==Knowingness-Knowing-Knowledge (Spanda). One endpoint of Salat is known as Nirvikalpa Samadhi. At this point the person is in total completion of their Soul's mission on Earth with regards to searching for The Supreme within their own Self. There is beyond this even, but I shall leave that to your Self The Breath/Ruh, is the very Writer of the Nafs/Autobiography/Self of the human being. It is a single Ruh that animates the entire universe. The Ruh originated as singular breath (Unity - 2130) and emanates outwards from the Source of All Creation, exploring infinite complexity. The Breath returns to The Source in an ordained measure. With each breath, infinite complexity flows into the Heavens and Earth, and a cycle flows. A day becomes night, a coolness becomes warm. There is a special occurence at the center point of the breath. That is when the breath is moving from inhale to exhale, and from exhale to inhale. This is the Primordial Sound of AUM which may be revealed to be orchestrating all things. Our Sight is limited to the edge of visible space defined by an interval cT where c is the speed of Light and T is the age of universe. There is a perfect spherical boundary around the Earth the Earth is a small sphere within a greater sphere. The greater sphere itself is an Earth, and from this one there is another yet, exactly outward in the same fashion. The first spherical boundary is the lowest heaven. This is adorned with stars. On the edge of this boundary occurs communication from the second heaven. On the edge of the boundary of the second heaven occurs communication from the third until we reach the seventh. Our Hearing is unlimited. We are capable of hearing towards the highest heaven. We cannot See the Supreme but we are always hearing the Supreme. All creation is animated by the Sound of the Supreme's Voice, the AUM. We hear a single sound always, the phononic resonance of all creation. Perhaps a Self may look toward the example of Musa and the Mountain to understand the nature of the Seer of all things, who is revealed as the night rotates, to be the Hearer, Knower Then it is for us to accept or reject the communications. The heart may discern which sounds to listen to, thus we may declare that the eyes are surely not blind, but blind indeed are the hearts within the breasts. The Supreme has the quality of Clear Light, Light upon Light or Darkness upon Darkness, both of which are pointers to the nature of the Supreme which may only be comprehended by the Supreme within one Self jedi salam ) You mention great insights , there are many correct knowledge with the ancient civilization notably the vedic literature that needs to be verified , investigated , sharpened and connected to its true foundations . Also what is known as Myth / ( history ) assatir about ancient civilization contain truth covered or derived or exaggerated that needs to be sifted , the sieve tool is The Qur'an . http//imageshack.us/a/img28/6651/2rrz.jpg The qur'an is the sieve , the scale and the criterion . If someone can connect the truth in these knowledge to the Qur'an then he is in the right path . I like your writing but i appreciate you focus your knowledge in one topic and give it what it deserve then connected it the the major foundations then move to other one , your studies and conclusions would be great if you write with sequence . Looking forward

Salam brother and welcome Malta is a non-alcoholic beverage which is brewed but not fermented so enjoy it. A brewed drink becomes alcoholic after fermentation. yay Takbir! Thanks brother, I don't feel conflicted about my favorite drink bravo

Salaam, Easy is just asking ourselves "What does the word 'to waste' mean?" To not waste is to use your judgment when you utilize something in this world and the things which you do not waste can be used for someone else. If you do not waste you have more money to give to the poor family which barely have food on the table. God bless you

Peace all Something to ponder for all those who believe that there will be no messengers after MUHAMMAD O children of Adam, if there come to you MESSENGERS from AMONG YOU relating to you My verses, those who are cautious and mend their ways will have nothing to fear neither shall they be saddened, (Al-A'raaf 35) The children of Adam are those who died before, living at present and those who will live after us "O company of jinn and mankind, did there not come to you MESSENGERS from AMONG YOU, relating to you My verses and warning you of the meeting of this Day of yours?" They will say, "We bear witness against ourselves"; and the worldly life had deluded them, and they will bear witness against themselves that they were disbelievers. (Al-An'aam 130) JINN and MANKIND are not restricted to the YEAR 632 AD Apart from this there is something more to ponder. We have sent no Messenger except in the language / speech / tongue of his own nation, so that he might make everything plain to them. But Allah leads astray whom He will and guides whom He will. He is the Almighty, the Wise. (Ibrahim 4) What language ABRAHAM and his wife HAJAR and his son ISMAIL SPOKE ? ARABIC? Surely their language was not Arabic then why Abraham and his son Ismail were sent to MECCA? Thanks

Salaam, Sounds great. I just have to get a good enough Internet connection so I can watch the YouTube clip. God bless you

Peace, All the replies by our dear fellow members in this thread so far have been beautiful and full of insight! Let me also add a few grains. We hate others basically due to fear/insecurity and ignorance. That's the bottom line. "We" denotes all human beings; not just certain groupings. Fear and insecurity is THE main issue of the human race. Ignorance, while not actually being the core of the problem, can be viewed as a HUGE cause of hatred. Ignorance can be forced on you, or it can be chosen by you. But ignorance will only produce hatred when there is a presence of fear in you, and the absence of peace. Again, fear is the root cause of hatred. In turn, fear (and lack of peace) is present in us due to blindness to reality. This blindness is connected to the resistance/rebellion against Truth/Reality/God's system. Rebellion/Resistance --> Blindness --> Fear/Lack of peace --> Hatred and all sorts of miseries and mistakes. When we are blind to our real and true selves, we abuse ourselves with fear, worry, self doubt, low self-esteem, hopelessness... This also spills over to other around us. We start fearing others and hence hating them. But actually, we are just hating our own internal IMAGE of others and the perceived threat. It is our own inner, ignorant, peace-less, fearful imagination that produces hatred (as a defense). This is why we are instructed to not fear anything but God. It is not easy to understand this instruction. It is extremely deep with profound consequences. All the divisions between religions, and even that between religion and atheism, are all fake. They are just mental constructs and they are of no good or positive use. Since you say you are new to Islam (the world religion), islam (the natural and universal order of things as described in the quran) and religion in general, I just want to say one last thing Don't expect to find God in religion! This is not a paradox. God is found everywhere, if you can see. To find God we must be soft within. Religion is often times anti-sense, anti-reason, anti-logic, anti-humanity, anti-peace and hence anti-God. Religion is also often times pro-fairy tales, pro-division, pro-judgment. God guides, if we let ourselves be guided. Watch out for religious authority. Also, don't expect to find all the answers, and then having a ready and convenient package of fixed rules and truths. No, it's a JOURNEY and we will learn as we go along! Watch out for those who claim to have THE final answers of the topics at hand. Peace! group

Whoops I posted in the wrong thread. Sorry

Yes, but he's talking about people posting, isn't he, and not many people posted on his thread. That's my point and that's why I don't get it. I have no idea what he's on about.

+salaam Raspberry Red Very excellent! Look again at the program that extends the verbal roots into 14 higher verbal extensions. Be aware of the eighth form! There is a special rule there by the inserted 'ta'. iX (ta) Xa Xa. To demonstrate this rule to be seen do the following task. Extend salama and Salaha into its higher verbal extensions. Good luck! +salaam Salaam al-amiyr, Thank you again for your answer and new exercize, here is my answer salama sallama saalama 'aslama tasallama tasaalama insalama 0 istalama islamma istaslama islaamma islawlama islawwama islanmama islanmaa Salaha Sallaha Saalaha 'aSlaha taSallaha taSaalaha inSalaha 0 iStalaha iSlahha istaSlaha iSlaahha iSlawlaha iSlawwaha iSlanhaha iSlanhaa I wait for your answer, thank you.

Salaam, Quran was composed to be a reminder of what was revealed before. If it did not remind about practices such as stoning then it never was advocated other than by enemies of God. This is why Quran is sufficient to follow for jurisdiction. Other than Quran just use your intelligence to determine how to live your life and use the guidelines of a good moral character from Quran. The Quran helps a bit on how to behave, but the actual actions is up to oneself. It is not complicated to believe in God and follow His system of peace and prosperity. But it is complicated to follow Shaytaan's system on the other hand and leads to much suffering. God bless you
