lilyfleur Sis Sweden, btw, I noticed on another thread you mention zodiac signs and such. Do Muslims believe in astronomy?
jankren Muslims are people too you know. I for example find astronomy kind of interesting. The most important thing is that we do not believe in it 100%.
jonny_k Peace sis "lyli" and bro "jankren",
I beleive theres a confusion here. "Astronomy" is the science os stuying the physical universe. What you are talking about is "astroLOGY" which is a pseudoscience and nonsense and good Muslims reject it. GOD Bless!rotfl rotfl rotfl

Peace jankren,
jankren "Thanks to you Lily. I sound real dumb in that thread." ;D ;D
I think these guys ;D ;D mean I didn't really hurt your feelings, but just in case...
( No you don't jankren (sound dumb). It was me, the one with English as a FIRST language who shredded the word astroLoGy. You don't sound dumb at all. You just made the very small mistake of using the same word incorrectly as I had. But what I loved about your statement was the part where you said, "muslims are people too you know", which when related to believing in astroNoMy (the science of the universe in which the stars, planets, etc. are studied, including their origins, evolution, compositon, motions, relative positions, sizes, etc.), makes perfect sense. I honestly hadn't even noticed that you too said astronomy and not astrology. However, astroLoGy is sometimes referred to as "primitive astroNoMy", so it's an easy mistake to make. I'm sorry if I embarrassed you. It was my goof-up, followed by your pointing out that of course Muslims study astroNoMy that I thought so deserving as the quote of the week, for being so funny. As for astroLoGy though, I tend to agree that the study of stars and such affecting human behavior, therefore foretelling the future isn't imho in line with what the God says.
Peace and love,

The problem lies not within our differences, it lies within the need to compel others to shape their minds like ours =adley=

"Can I get some chapstick. My lips hurt real bad!"
Napoleon Dynamite
Though the quote may seem simple, irrelevant, and stupid to some, the genius lies upon the interpretation. By inserting the Can in the phrase, this is insinuating a reader whom "supplies" the chapstick. Furthermore, the simplicity can be analogized to a code. Lips can refer to "genitals" bad can refer to "hunger" and chapstick can refer to something "sexual." Encontraire, there is also a possibility it can be a drug reference. This is a lesson to all you guys who use sophisticated language to enhance your reputation around you, but in reality, people who use simple everyday words are the true geniuses, who conceal messages among each other. THere are two types of thinking. Structural, math, spelling, basic robotic thought, which takes experience and memorization, and the other more superior, subconcious type... emotional, psychological symbolism found in poetry, music, and movies which requirse common sense, experience, a bit of psychology, and true understanding of the persona.

It seems the Zionists would do anything to achieve their dream of 'Greater Israel'.

Anyway, I can't really blame them though. Any government in the world would like to have bigger territory.

Quote of the day/week?
here's a quote of the yearThe Quran, 2214 Or did you expect that you would enter Paradise, while the example of those who were before you came to you; they were stricken with adversity and hardship, and they were shaken until the messenger and those who believed with him said "When is God's victory?" Yes indeed, God's victory is near.
I think that this ayya speaks volumes.
We have to fight.
We have to strive.
We have to be patient.
We have to stand firm.
We will win, inshaALLAH.Peace.

You never seem to cease to say amazing things Alen bro.
peace be upon you bro!Salam.
Thank you, brother Haroon.
I have been feeling down lately but i have good friends around me to remind me what is our goal and who is our enemy.Remember, brothers and sisters throught the world our goal is Paradise and our enemy is satan, so let's not fight each other, let's stand firm and be patient and let's not argue about small things.
We have a bigger goal to accomplish - Paradise, a world without any pain, suffering or sadness. A world where we will live in the eternal peace, experience true love and much, MUCH more.
God willing.
Peace.

It is brave for people to swim against the tide and to not be caught up with maintaining the status quo.~ Haroon
I believe what I believe in is the truth. However, everybody in this world believes that what he believes in is the truth. We believe that what others believe is not the truth and others believe that what we believe in is not the truth either. So, what I'm saying is simply that we should not take what we believe as truth for granted because we will only know whether the truth we believe in is the actual truth or not when we meet face to face on the judgement day with the Lord of the Heaven and the Earth. ~ Jankren

Quote from Brother Warner,
We are not here to discuss whether I will do or not. We discuss what the Quraan says. See the above verse. You are like a PR agency trying to spin doct and make Islam attractive to people with your fancy manipulations, but Allah does not need that. He has set the laws, man has to obey them. Bending the Quraan to make it more attractive to people is not one of my objectives.
i guess , this is true for a few on this forum.

People think miracles are needed so God can show His Power, seems creating the Universe is not enough, He needs to show He can break the Laws He created Himself! How irrational the human-being is.....
The Universe is enough proof for God's Power and Wisdom. It's only problem is that it goes against the popular belief and approach.
~ Bro Arnold Yasin

No naming names, please.
I think that although we may have differences of opinion, accusing others of manipulating the Quran is wrong (except in the case of rashad khalifa). I don't think anyone on this forum purposefully changes the meaning of the quran for personal gain. I think it's just that our interpretations based on our personal world view are different.
"He has set the laws, man has to obey them," is what bro. Warner said. Well, I don't like it when people make these kinds of categorical statements because the whole argument is about what God's true message is, and what his laws are. If there was a clear cut, single answer, most of us would be following it. But there isn't. -
salaam,
I think that although we may have differences of opinion, accusing others of manipulating the Quran is wrong (except in the case of rashad khalifa).
And how do you know if Rashads intentions won?t sincere?
People say that about bro Aidid Safar too.
I don?t know anyone in the forum who are manipulating the meaning of the Quran, perhaps there are some cherry pickers, but there is nothing wrong with cherry picking, in fact it should be encouraged.

The mentality that allows for symbols, words, images, to become important unto themself. thats how a kaaba bvecome important, how a cross become important on its own, a star become important. You think you freed youself of this thinking when you tossed hadith and became a 'free mind', but you didnt.

Without wishing to enter the debate, this is a truth / a questioning which each of us will face (in the mirror) sooner or later - or at least (imo) it should be that way.
peace all, elke
