Introduce Yourself

I?m new here and I?m happy that I found this forum. I?m a person who enjoys to read various kind of literature and my favorite book is naturally, al-Qur?n. I hope I will stay and join some discussions. ) Soldier of Allh . . . Feel free to email me at [email protected] to discuss anything or ask anything!

Yes, the change has made lots of positive impacts in my life, thanks to Allah (glory to him) for showing me the way. And a big thanks to all the people behind the Quran alone/God alone websites.

Hey! Salaam! Welcome!

Peace Wakas. I read your story for the first time. I am pleasantly surprised. We have similar stories brother. The cleansing process will take time. The learning process will take even more time. A lot of patience is required. GOD s mercy is always near for those who will seek Him Alone and His word is the light that guides them from the darkness. It is a fact that God is the Truth (Al-Haq), while the setting up of any idols beside Him constitutes a falsehood, and that God is the Most High, the Supreme. (Al- Alei, Al-Kabeer) .... God is the best Protector, and, of all the merciful ones, He is the Most Merciful." Such is God's grace that He bestows upon whomever He wills. God is Possessor of Infinite Grace. (Thul fadl alatheem) Say, "Our Lord will gather us all together before Him, then He will judge between us equitably. He is the Judge, the Omniscient." (Al-Fattah) As for those who repent, reform, and proclaim, I redeem them. I am the Redeemer, Most Merciful. (Al-Tawwab) GOD bless you. Peace.

Salam! Where are you from in Texas? I'm in Austin.

About too apostate huh? Sounds exciting.

Feel free to email me with your questions at [email protected] but anyway I think you should just worship the way you have been worshiping, like a Sunni Muslim, the way Muslims have generally been praying for a very long time, which also encompasses pre-Islamic fashions of worship, and don't worry about it too much, I don't think you'll be blameworthy for doing so with the best intentions.

Very cool story, if you ever want to talk, you can email me at [email protected] . I'm into all that stuff you mentioned, various religions like Zen Buddhism and Islam too, so whatever you might like to discuss, feel free to!

Hi, As Salam Alaikum, I'm not in Texas or anywhere near there, but I'd be happy to talk about Islam if you want to, you might like some of what I say! My email is [email protected] , feel free to email me at your leisure and talk about anything you may like to!

Salaam, The trap in seeing Shaytaan as a separate entity, and GOD too, is that you risk being passive because you expect GOD to do everything for you through (often blind) worship and you are afraid (fear - instinct = shaytaan) that if you think independently then Shaytaan will mislead you for it is the curse traditional interpretation of Quran shows of the removal of GOD's grace if you question anything, and traditional interpreters are saying if you show disbelief in any parameter then GOD will stop guiding you and you are susceptible to so-called "whispers of Shaytaan" which is beyond your capability to deal with (according to them). It is an evil circle, this reasoning and hard to get out of. The irony is that this fear is the whisper of Shaytaan in itself and is like shackles. And the clergy uses it to control people out of fear and persecutes those who deviate to protect the community which becomes a horrendous thing. When you do an unrighteous act then the deed is from yourself and not some whisperer in the dark. It is due to instincts and nothing else besides lack of knowledge and wisdom, and willpower. That is your Shaytaan. Do not blame someone else, it is misconception. The flock instinct is Shaytaan, i.e. to easily accept superiors you admire. It all comes down to yourself, your ego. Reduce or remove it completely and you are well off. Then you can truly listen to wisdom. Same if you pray about some personality change in life to GOD, you need to realize the prayer in GOD (Allah). No way that GOD does the hard work for you while you are lazy and lay back and relax. So it is true that all the good is in GOD but the bad is from ourselves, no blaming of an image called Shaytaan. In GOD you can be perfected. And we should be careful in listening to other people because they may be a wolf in a wise man's garment. If they are very instinctive then they are not spiritual guides. Best is to use our own intellect and deem for ourselves. Salaam

Salam

Hi es, Thankyou very much, sure from Scandinavia. Moderators did I by any mean break your website rules for getting banned? I think its kinda immature and rude to ban someone just because you can...Yesterday I was at my parents house and after while my access to free-minds.org was banned by someone (whoever that was) U thought this was community where people would get chance to exchange ideas and opinion not place where prejudices rule over common sense.

Salaam, Welcome to the forum.
