    Another tampering
    Actual aya is
    2130

    Show me where is this description in this aya "islam described as deen of Ibrahim"

    Sorry, my mistake. The word is millat and hence religion, not deen. I was relying on memory and memory failed. Also, translations use deen and millat and religion interchangeably.

    Regardless, ad-deen is compared to the millat of Abraham in 2278.

    Sorry to disturb your highness, brother Agent Smith. In any case, please direct your questions to Yusuf Ali, Marmaduke Pickthal and Muhammad Habeeb Shakir.

    In any case, nice try. Shame it did not work this time. Better luck next time. Etc.

      Dear Brother ;
      That is nice to see that you have started realizing your faults.Inshallah one day you will will be on right path.
      You said

      Sorry to disturb your highness, brother Agent Smith.

      Regarding it I would like to remind you an aya

      4911

        I would also like to remind you that the point still stands based on 2278. A simple human error is precisely that, a simple human error, and if our brother Hussein wished, he could have easily called that to attention (not that your calling was in vain).

        As for the aya, I am well aware of that. Please remember that the reason for such a nickname is self-evident. Your continued criticism is borderline arrogance, again, something self-evident.

        Please have a read through of this http//www.islamworld.net/faults.html

            Actually, please read up on "devil's advocate". Inshallah you will find it. If the seal is broken.

            The funny thing is that you need hearsay to tell you a universal truth. But this can be expected from he who enquires about optional details.

              Dear
              You are taking the shelter of "Ahadeeth" .Why?
              Have I ever quoted a single hadeeth ?
              This is what I am stating again and again.Quranists have double standards.
              If something appeals their wishes ,they get its support.
              If something does not appeal their wishes ,they reject it.
              This is a fresh example.
              Bashing ahadeeths ,then taking their shelter ? Is this not "Licking one's own vomit"??
              The Holy Quran says
              613

                Sorry, I do not take shelter. The exact same wisdom in those hadeeths is instilled in cultural values around the world, and I grew up learning that, with absolutely no hadeeth needed. For one who claims to follow hadeeth, it is notable you seem to reject these. Can I ask you whether these are indeed lahwa al-hadeeth?

                Now that you have posted this, please also look up "strawman argument".

                        Salaam OPF,

                        I am not going to respond to all of your post. There is lots of back and forth and people can read both points of views. I want to address some interesting statements

                        3- Statements that you cannot prove that they are true nor false. Those are not baseless hadeeth until you can prove them false. Those are the ones that God asks you to verify or try to verify and God does not ask you to reject it but to be careful with it as in 1736.

                        Item 3 centers on the fallacious notion that something is true until proven false. Incorrect. False until proven truth, sorry. In case 3, they are indeed baseless.

                        Your logic is lacking. The majority of things in the world fall in number three. The best that you can do is withold judgement until further proof. Rejection outright is wrong. One can easily ask you this question

                        Prove that God is existant? Yes you will go about all the proofs that you have and the person will come back and say. Those are no proofs because I am not observing God. Many times, you accept things not because of proofs, but because of trust and safety in them. This all falls under item number three.

                        As for the congregation prayer. The Aya says If called to Salat on the day of Jumaa, then leave the selling and move for the remembrance of Allah. What is being called for? and how did they remember Allah? if you believe that they implemented this rule?

                        As for the Muhammad business. There are two places that you have to remember

                        Muhammadun rasoolullah= Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.
                        Wama muhammadun illa rasoolun qad khlat min qablihi arrusulu, afain mata aw qutila inqalbtum ala AAqabikum= And Muhammad is but a messenger, the messengers left before him. So, if he died or was killed, you turn away on the back of your feet.

                        When you put those two together, then you will get that he was the only messenger of that time and that the people who were addressed knew who their messenger was.

                        If the Qur'an said the above, then I will witness. Actually, the witnessing is mentioned in many places. You omitted them all and only remembered the hypocrites. You will do well by studying the term. Here is one "Wauktubna maa alshahideena= and write us amongst the witnesses." It is the witnesses to the truth.

                        As for the first day of the establishing of the Masjid, it was with that messenger 1400 years ago and it was established on good basis as per the Qur'an. As for you guys, you believe that it was established on weak basis so as to disappear until your smart brains came to make things up.

                        This is my last post on this. Take care and have a great day.

                        Hussein

                          So in other words, you have no knowledge? 496 has very little to do with the concept of playing devil's advocate.

                            So what if it has been going back and forth? If you remember, this argument/debate has been running for 2-3 threads and has occupied along the order of 5-10 large pages. Why stop now? Are you not confident about your deen? It does not take very much time to make a reply.

                            Your logic is lacking. The majority of things in the world fall in number three. The best that you can do is withold judgement until further proof. Rejection outright is wrong. One can easily ask you this question

                            There is no rejection outright. The process is clear in the Quran - ascertain the truth. If you cannot ascertain the truth, who is worse than he who lies against Allah?

                            Prove that God is existant? Yes you will go about all the proofs that you have and the person will come back and say. Those are no proofs because I am not observing God.

                            That is the person's problem, not mine. If they wish to seal off themselves, then fine for them. Judging by the number of Muslims drawn in by the science of the Quran, I will say that an open-minded person will concede very fast.

                            Many times, you accept things not because of proofs, but because of trust and safety in them. This all falls under item number three.

                            Many times I have gone wrong due to precisely this. Negative until proven positive.

                            As for the congregation prayer. The Aya says If called to Salat on the day of Jumaa, then leave the selling and move for the remembrance of Allah. What is being called for? and how did they remember Allah? if you believe that they implemented this rule?

                            I cannot comment on that. The reason being, and you know this, or know it know, that I know mostly negative information in this regard - i.e. the hadeeth are not to be followed. There have already been explanations of that on these forums regardless of my personal experience.

                            Muhammadun rasoolullah= Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.
                            Wama muhammadun illa rasoolun qad khlat min qablihi arrusulu, afain mata aw qutila inqalbtum ala AAqabikum= And Muhammad is but a messenger, the messengers left before him. So, if he died or was killed, you turn away on the back of your feet.

                            Thank you. So this answers our brother's question as to where we will know the name of Muhammad in the Quran. If you also remember, you were one of those asking. A little reverse psychology never hurt anyone.

                            If the Qur'an said the above, then I will witness. Actually, the witnessing is mentioned in many places. You omitted them all and only remembered the hypocrites. You will do well by studying the term. Here is one "Wauktubna maa alshahideena= and write us amongst the witnesses." It is the witnesses to the truth.

                            Please examine the specific contexts. The quoted aya had direct reference to the shahadah, whereas your various quoted aya do not. I specifically checked for this, and I knew you would bring this up in any case. As for the witnesses to the truth, the best you can do in terms of that is say "I witness that there is a book in front of me which I believe to be from Allah which thus states that Allah bears witness that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger". Please remember the distinction in logic. Saying the shahadah is not the same as bearing witness to this obvious truth.

                            As for the first day of the establishing of the Masjid, it was with that messenger 1400 years ago and it was established on good basis as per the Qur'an. As for you guys, you believe that it was established on weak basis so as to disappear until your smart brains came to make things up.

                            So "first day" means "first day" but "first day" means 1400 years ago. I see. As for the latter, I believe Abraham practiced the deen in full. Is it not funny how a Sunni will use the appeal to longevity fallacy when the Jew or Christian is qualified by millenia more than him to use it...

                            Please remember that as far as I see, there was never a true Sunni caliphate either. All of them I have seen past the 4 "rightly guided caliphs" had some form of problem or other and the concept of the harem, oh dear.

                            So, is this debate/argument finished?

                            peace

                              Salam Hussein,

                              Ade cool,

                              The Aya starts with the single you and then moves to plural you when talking about parents. It was not talking to the prophet alone except at it's beginning. Your conclusion is then too stretched.

                              The aya under discussion is

                              Since my arabic knowledge is very limited, can somebody confirm whether Hussein is telling the truth or not? Thanks.

                                Salam Hussein,

                                The aya under discussion is

                                1723 Thy Lord hath decreed, that ye worship none save Him, and (that ye show) kindness to parents. If one of them or both of them to attain old age with thee, say not "Fie" unto them nor repulse them, but speak unto them a gracious word.

                                The actual aya is as follows

                                To misinterpret the Quranic Ayas is characteristic of Quranists by default.
                                What do you want to get out of it

                                So relax.

                                  From Hussein

                                  Ade cool,

                                  The Aya starts with the single you and then moves to plural you when talking about parents. It was not talking to the prophet alone except at it's beginning. Your conclusion is then too stretched.

                                  He is telling the opposite of the truth The verse starts with a plural verb for "that ye worship none save Him", then shifts to the singular.

                                    Hussain is 100% correct.

                                    Either you don't understand what Hussein says, or you don't understand Arabic...don't unerstand eitherway and always

                                      Yes madam agree I really did not understand that he is talking about verbs.
                                      I admit my mistake.I am not Quranist
                                      So I edited my words.
                                      As far as arabic is concerned I again admit my weakness. I do not know it.Had I known it I would have said" Muarraf bilaam" nouns are "common nouns"

                                        Salam Samia,

                                        He is telling the opposite of the truth The verse starts with a plural verb for "that ye worship none save Him", then shifts to the singular.

                                        Thanks for the clarification. It means my understanding of the verse is grammatically acceptable. Am I right sis?
