Greetings and Peace, all group @MohammedNabi welcome I'm sure that there are some folks near you, but I'm not one of them. This site brings people from all over the world together. Edip Yuksel is on this site...shoot him a PM if you like. http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=490 Have you used sites such as Corpus Quran perchance? You can juxtapose Arabic words to verify meaning--very useful! There have been many discoveries. Islamawakened has a large number of translations, especially English, in one place. If you already have these resources, beg pardon. http//corpus.quran.com/wordbyword.jsp http//www.islamawakened.com/index.php/qur-an May ALLAH see fit to Guide all seekers. peace ~Abdul-Hadi

To me it's ridiculous to judge one's morality based on the direction he's facing or whether he believe in this or that. All those petty stuff that doesn't matter. However I do have interest in history as it tells the background on how certain people developed certain mindset and mentality. Among those mentality is a 'fetish' towards those petty stuff. And welcome to the forum. Peace, Thanks for the welcome. No, I do not believe that it has anything to do with morality. Indeed which so ever way you turn, there is God. God mentions this place in the positive - that is my only interest. You can only hope to gain something positive, the way we cherish the memories of our past houses (if you've moved and you loved where you lived) - that sort of thing, maybe just a good feeling. I am interested in the roots and learning more about those on whom God The Almighty bestowed His Grace - those successful people He recounts in the Quran. The people mentioned must have lived and operated somewhere ofcourse. I would love to visit one of these places/sites one day and I hope that one day The Almighty will enrich me and give me the opportunity to do so.

Peace, Welcome to the forum. God bless you

Salamun Alaykum Alhumdillah for the guidance. 179 This Quran guides to the best path, and brings good news to the believers who lead a righteous life, that they have deserved a great recompense.

I have heard of the tolu-e Islam movement and also of Submitters in India having a Masjid somewhere? I've not heard about tolu e islam movement in my state Keralam which is in south india. I've read that the tolu e islam movement is centered in Pakistan. Probably there is a chance for the movement has some supporters in north india too. But not in my state. Is this 'submitters' supports Dr.Rashad Khalifa ? They have no masjids in my state. i dont know about the other states, but there's only little chance.

Peace be upon you all, I am a monotheist who acknowledge. And I took the Quran alone approach for that past 10 years. I have no other friends/family members who support me. Instead, they accuse and mock me for not following Hadith and Sunna. My marriage is in the crisis because of my firm belief in Quran Alone. I have gone through all these for years, though I had few worldly mistakes, I have never given up. My GOD guide me in the right path. Name Shafi Age36 Married India

Peace bro, Welcome to the forum. Sorry to read about your life problems, but glad that you discovered the right path. God bless you Thank you bro, for the warm welcome and kind words. May God bless you also, Peace be upon you. )

Unless you have a first hand experience, you basically can't understand the hardship that bugs one in his early years of adopting Quran alone, particularly if you have a sunni/shiite background. The persistent pestering by traditional muslims and family pressure could piss anyone. It is so sad that many Quran Alone believers can't live a life of freedom that the Quran stipulates for believers.

Salam Anwar, Nelson Mandela co-founded Umkhonto we Sizwe, a paramilitary organisation in which as a commanding officer he signed off material, money and manpower into bomb attacks against state institutions and leading the organisation to be labelled as a terrorist organisation, as by dictionary definition it was (and hence why he admitted and pleaded guilty to charges through his conviction). The difference being that it was justified against a corrupt racialist immoral regime that slaughtered its own people. Truth is written by the victors, and Nelson Mandela was a victor, and people like to be associated with victors. The current UK prime minister himself and a number of his ministers were ironically part of the UK Conservative party body who labelled Mandela a terrorist at the time and pledged support for the regime, only to talk fondly of him later without really acknowledging their past involvement in demonising him. The problem is the victors aren't always the good guys, let us hope the likes of Al-Qaeda are not praised as victors in the future.

Be careful, if she knows this then she might take advantage of it later, and you will receive no benefit for the trouble. If its 'hurting a little bit emotionally' that means you can't really be just friends. Just my input. Not a friend like any other else, a"special friend", but still a friend. I'm not ready to "be here for her whenever she needs" like I used to not so long ago. I can confront her right now. But really thank you for your advice, I get what you mean and I will surely be careful

Peace Maryah, I would suggest the following Approach God directly. This can be done by just sitting down in privacy and praise and thank God for all things in your life. Ask God to show you the truth, increase you in understanding and remove your fear and blindness. This is what I do. You need to get into a praising, happy mood when asking and thanking God. Don't think about doing it the correct way. Let go of the fear and just thank, praise and ask God for insight, wisdom and righteousness. Forget all about what religious authority is saying. They'll just bring fear into your mind, and fear will only paralyze, limit and shut you down. God's way is increase, growth, abundance, goodness, generosity, joy, compassion.... not fear. The evil forces will definitely try to thwart all steps towards purification and ascension. It's up to you to choose God and ignore fear. We become fearful when we don't understand who and what we are and when we don't understand God's greatness. Fear comes when we resist our natural inclination towards goodness. Fear comes when we focus on small, petty issues and details, totally losing scope of the bigger picture. Don't listen to the negative and confused human beings claiming to be religious authority.. they will just confuse you. Go straight to God. Ask God directly! Your heart knows how to do it! Set your direction on God and goodness. Ask God to guide you and start listening to your heart... not your fearful mind! Peace and best wishes! sun Thank you ! It was good advice . You are right. I should think differently . Peace to you too !
