    Peace brothers, Perhaps another light may be, how did other Prophets, may peace be with them, prayed before the Last Prophet? Guided Person makes no distinction between Prophets. So, the Point is to Pray to GOD from Heart and Not from self. Now this get very interesting. As you know, GOD comes from between the Heart and the self. So GOD is nearer to our Hearts than our self is. In this token, if you Pray to GOD from self, you will miss GOD and the Heart. If you pray to GOD from Heart you will, GOD Wiling, Experience HIS Presence. Your Bliss. Zgjidhja Model Operates Without Language. Hence it Allows the Process of Praying to happens from the Centre of your Own Soul. And Finding the Soul is what ALL Life is about. And Living your Existential Purpose. The Very Reason why the ALLMighty has brought you here. And your self has not answer to any of the above Quests. The Answer is Clean 24/7. And Allow GOD to do Miracles Through You. Praise be to GOD. The Lord of the Creation. Peace, R.H.-Ustahi

    You talk about something you know. But why do you tlak about something you d not know. 733 Say ?My Lord has forbidden all lewd action, what is obvious from them and what is subtle, and sin, and aggression without cause, and that you set up partners with God that which He has never authorized, and that you say about God what you do not know.? There are many verses that warn people who say what they do not know.

    Peace, Respectfully. 2183 O you who believe, fasting has been decreed for you as it was decreed for those before you, perhaps you may be righteous. 2184 A few number of days; however, if any of you is ill or traveling, then the same number from different days; and as for those who can do so but with difficulty, they may redeem by feeding the needy. And whoever does good voluntarily, then it is better for him. And if you fast it is better for you if you knew. 2185 The month of Ramadhan, in which the Qur?an was revealed; as a guide to the people and a clarification of the guidance and the criterion. Therefore, whoever of you witnesses the month, then let him fast therein. And whoever is ill or traveling, then the same number from different days. God wants to bring you ease and not to bring you hardship; and so that you may complete the count, and glorify God for what He has guided you, that you may be thankful. 2186 And if My servants ask you about Me, I am near answering the calls of those who call to Me. So let them respond to Me and believe in Me that they may be guided. 2187 It has been made lawful for you during the night of fasting to approach your women sexually. They are a garment for you and you are a garment for them. God knows that you used to betray your souls so He has accepted your repentance, and forgiven you; now you may approach them and seek what God has written for you. And you may eat and drink until the white thread is distinct from the black thread of dawn; then you shall complete the fast until night; and do not approach them while you are devoted in the temples. These are God?s boundaries, so do not transgress them. It is thus that God makes His revelations clear to the people that they may be righteous.

    Salaam, But you had said I am reading through "Evolution of Thinking" and you have answered many "fairy tale" questions. ? Please read it again as they are mostly there. What is your take on Jesus making the bird out of clay and giving it life? I remember reading I believe it was yours stating that the leprosy and such that Jesus was claimed to make was metaphors relating to bringing them back onto the path of Truth and such, and not the literal take that the Muslims generally use. How can the bird be used? Tair doesn't mean literally bird, it means something that hastens/flies, and was used for insects, birds, horses, soldiers. So why do they not say Jesus made a bug out of clay or a horse? Tair has multiple literal meanings, I have given them all here http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=16837.msg169538#msg169538 Whats your take on cloning in regards to Quran where it states "between man and woman". I know this was brought up in that thread but I wasn't sure on your answer. Also, what about stem cell research where they claim that they can even make sperm out of any tissue from the human body? What about it? The Qur'an doesn't forbid cloning in a direct sense since it is the way we can control nature and use it.

    Salam pvb, I would suggest learning the actual Syriac/Aramaic Alphabet and then relying on that. It will save you a lot of frustration in the long run. Because, there is no common transliteration. For instance, with the word Amr you can see it transliterated as Amr Aamr or 'amr or 'mr. There is no "rule" that dictates how it should be written in English. That is why you see some people write "Koran" and some write "Quran." The spelling changes when we try to write the sounds using English letters but the spelling doesn't change in Arabic. And, thanks for the link. Salam, Arnab

    This is a good post. Thanks man ) Somebody in some thread has said recently that what is not forbiden in the Quran then it is allowed. The story of the Israelites in the Quran makes it crystal clear that those who own other human beings are doomed. God doesn't tell us stories from the past for our amusement; those stories have important moral lessons We narrate to you enough history of the messengers to strengthen your heart. The truth has come to you herein, as well as enlightenments and reminders for the believers. In their history, there is a lesson for those who possess intelligence. This is not fabricated Hadith; this (Quran) confirms all previous scriptures, provides the details of everything, and is a beacon and mercy for those who believe. Those who can't infer from the story of the Israelites that slavery is forbidden in Islam are people who lack intelligence. God tells us that stories from the past are narrated to the believers so that they may learn some of the rules of Islam We recite to you herein some history of Moses and Pharaoh, truthfully, for the benefit of people who believe. The unintelligent unbelievers will not learn from the stories of the Quran. They'll insist that slavery is permitted since God hasn't said "Oh, don't own slaves".

    Obeying the Prophet is linked to obeying God because God commands that Muhammed should be obeyed in the Quran. Anything that Muhammed commanded outside of the Quran should therefore be followed. Well thats what i believe anyway. A clear distinction between Allah and His Messenger; notice who disobeyed and was made an example... 3336-37 It is not for a believer, man or woman, when All?h and His Messenger have decreed a matter that they should have any option in their decision. And whoever disobeys All?h and His Messenger, he has indeed strayed in to a plain error. And when you said to him on whom All?h has bestowed Grace and you have done favour "Keep your wife to yourself, and fear All?h." But you did hide in yourself that which All?h will make manifest, you did fear the people whereas All?h had a better right that you should fear Him. So when Zaid had accomplished his desire from her, We gave her to you in marriage, so that there may be no difficulty to the believers in respect of the wives of their adopted sons when the latter have no desire to keep them. And All?h's Command must be fulfilled.

    Salam, Then how about 1689 And the Day We send to every nation a witness against them from themselves, and We have brought you as a witness against these. And We have sent down to you the Scripture as a clarification for all things, and a guide and mercy and good tidings to those who have submitted. No contradiction; 20113 recognizes allegorical verses 37 also explained 1689... 37 He is who descended on you The Book, from it (are) perfected/tightened verses, they are (F) The Book's origin/mother, and others resembling/ambiguous/obscure, so but those who in their hearts/minds (is) deviation from truth, so they follow what resembled from it, asking/desiring the treason and asking/desiring its interpretation/explanation, and none knows its interpretation/explanation except God. And the affirmed in the knowledge, they say "We believed with it, all/each (is) from at our Lord, and none remember/mention except (those) of the pure minds/intelligence." Think through it. Peace

    Peace be upon you, Good article but I disagree with your understanding of the word "Kitaab", ahich does mean "book", but not talking about the 114 chapter book, but instead the CREATION , which is a manifestation of the WORD. Creation is a collection of WORD/SOUND. Al Kitaab us all around us and within us. ?Or do you have another Book which you study?? (Qur?an 6839) Certainly you study your algebra book or your science book, correct? It is not talking about the 114 chapter book, it is talking about the book of CREATION, which we all must study and which contains all physical books, there is no other "book" available to study when we view it from this perspective. Remember, we are told to trust in what descended to us AND THOSE BEFORE US. The following holds true for all beings wether now or a million years ago... "...Indeed there has come to you from Allah a Light and a Clear Book. With it Allah guides whoever who follows His good pleasure to the ways of peace and brings them out from the darkness into the light by His permission He guides them onto a straight way" (Qur'an 515-16) This teaching(quran) is but one of many guides to The BOOK...a light to help us through the darkness of ignorance so we dont have to reinvent the wheel, but dont allow the supreme divider (and conquerer) keep you trapped in only 114 chapters... Bruce Lee once said to a student as he pointed to the sky "dont concentrate on the finger or you will miss all that heavenly glory" ;D

    Peace be upon you, Good article. May Peace, Salaam, Shalom, Hotep, Nirvana, Wu ji, etc be upon us all. May I add that the true believer is a true believer because God has made all of life according to LAW. LAW is our solid foundation on which to build. Were it not for law we could one day walk thourh a wall and the other day break our face trying to do so. Law is what allows us to be at peace because we dont have to worry about the outcome...LAW asures us that you reap only what you sow. If you put ice in a woring freezer, you dont have to worry about ice, you rest assured that ice will be available soon. And likewise of the spiritual side of life which God, in its Mercy, made according to LAW.

    Well, it been a few months since my last post. I wanted some time to pass in order for someone to give me some feedback regarding two words in the Quran, specifically "ujr" and "nihlah". When I look at the ayats that refer to "marriage" in particular, the word "ujr" is used as the obligatory dowry. God is clear in His usage of words and "ujr" and in Sura 4 this word ("ujr&quot is not used there. Instead the word is "nihlah". God is consistent with words. Can anyone shed some light on this issue? Sister Samia, or some of our other Global Moderators...perhaps? Has anyone researched these two words and their usage in the Book? Sorry for this unintended silence! I am away from home, somewhere where I am not always, or easily, online. I will surely reply to your question when I am back in two or three days God willing.

    There is no scientific evidence for macro evolution. Micro evolution is the variance within a species such as skin color or size or some features. However macro evolution, which is the evolution of species to OTHER species have never been seen, witnessed or shown how to have been able to take place. I do not believe in Darwinian theory of evolution and I have studied their evidence and witnessed over a hundred debates. Its best to go to the proponents of intelligent design who are qualified scientist who have raised valid issues about the validity of Darwinian theory of evolution. The say the Koran supports evolution raises the question of whether the koran is a science book. Its not and anyways I believe that science so far says that acquiring new DNA codes for a species that was unavailable in its intial DNA is impossible. There are many resources in the net and in video google concerning this subject. And most of all of all the billions of fossil records, there has been not even one, i mean not even one evidence of any transitional species ever witnessed or seen. Darwinist lie and exaggerate and conceal many information because 98% are atheist. This is the best video for proponents of intelligent design but there are many others http//video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5585125669588896670&q=intelligent+design&ei=18UgSNOtNIa4igKUjdDMAQ Also this is another excellent video documentary about Darwinist lies http//video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6659285782452089140&q=icons+of+evolution&ei=ZMYgSJWCAqbeigL7g63VAQ
