    Salaams All,

    anybody Know?

    People of Moses- right.
    002.093
    YUSUFALI And remember We took your covenant and We raised above you (the towering height) of Mount (Sinai) (Saying) "Hold firmly to what We have given you, and hearken (to the Law)" They said" We hear, and we disobey" And they had to drink into their hearts (of the taint) of the calf because of their Faithlessness. Say "Vile indeed are the behests of your Faith if ye have any faith!"
    002.094
    YUSUFALI Say "If the last Home, with Allah, be for you specially, and not for anyone else, then seek ye for death, if ye are sincere."
    002.095
    YUSUFALI But they will never seek for death, on account of the (sins) which their hands have sent on before them. and Allah is well-acquainted with the wrong-doers.

    According to the following they aren?t mushriks , are they?
    002.096
    YUSUFALI Thou wilt indeed find them, of all people, most greedy of life,-even more than the idolaters Each one of them wishes He could be given a life of a thousand years But the grant of such life will not save him from (due) punishment. For Allah sees well all that they do.

    Yet they call uzair ??
    009.030
    YUSUFALI The Jews call 'Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah's curse be on them how they are deluded away from the Truth!
    009.031
    YUSUFALI They take their priests and their anchorites to be their lords in derogation of Allah, and (they take as their Lord) Christ the son of Mary; yet they were commanded to worship but One Allah there is no god but He. Praise and glory to Him (Far is He) from having the partners they associate (with Him).

    In the following they are ??.!
    002.135
    YUSUFALI They say "Become Jews or Christians if ye would be guided (To salvation)." Say thou "Nay! (I would rather) the Religion of Abraham the True, and he joined not gods with Allah."

    So it?s according to the respective ayah?s-rather what is happening, and it isn?t a permanent label as such- right?

    Or is there something I am over looking?

    Thanks.

      Find Bigmo's thread somewhere. It refers to a specific group, "those who call Uzair a son of God" and "those who call Jesus a son of God", i.e. a reverse definition.

        According to Quran there are only three groups;
        1Muslims
        2Kaafirs
        3Munaafiqeens
        No fourth group
        Atheists and Mushriks will be subset of "Kaafirs".

          Hi Op,

          Thanks for that;

          The Islamic exegetes have mentioned that there existed a community of Jews in Yemen who considered Ezra as son of God. Hirschberg says in Encyclopaedia Judaica

          Strange or what only Muslims know about a group of jews who ?used? to say uzair son of God.

          And Br. Allen where would you fit the jews in your equation.

          Gods Blessings.

            ^

            I imagine some were "muslim" and some were "munafiqeen" and some were "kafir" like of today's "Muslims" some are "muslim", some are "munafiqeen" and some are "kafir".

                Agree with you Op,Allen,

                I suppose the whole world can be split up like you sugested.

                God Bless.

                  According to Dr Sobhy Mansour, "Uzair" is in fact "Osiris", the god of death in ancient Egypt, whose name in the Egyptian language is " 3uzair ", then changed into 3izrael, the angel of death in traditional islam, taken from jewish resources. Some of the Jews, still influenced by the religions of their ancestors, recognized Osiris as a god. Osiris was also believed to have been resurrected after death.

                    No one on earth has ever admitted or said about himself that he is a "Mushrik". Allah has given this name and identification only to those who make with their own hands statues, assign them a name and then declare that statue as "Ilaha". Mushrikeen do not worship every hand made statue. Only specific shaped statue whom a name was given/assigned by their forefathers is worshipped. Quran has not declared anyone as Mushrikeen who have in the world identity of Jews, Christian and Muslims. It may be noted that none of the Mushrikeen have ever called or declared thier those statues as "Rabb" which they regard and consider as "Ilaha" other than Allah.

                      And what does 931 say?

                          Salaams All,

                          i doubt very , very much shirk has anything to do with any statue of anykind.

                          An Example may help some realise or some thought to Shirk

                          Whilst working for the British Government an employee is supposed to take care of everybody and all the useful info besides, but as we know the Russians would rather the employee not take care of anybody and especially not the useful info.

                          Now if the employee , whilst in the employment of the British Government follows protocol 2, then he is a mushrik with respect to his currant employment.

                          Its the same with a Mushrik in the quran-i believe, if and when we follow the orders of Allah and do obey by employing the attributes in our routine then we are truly believers but when we start to break this rule then we in fact are mushriks whilst undertaking/ following a routine not embodying the attributes and disobeying the orders of Allah.

                          Its not at all to do with any statue at all.

                          any comments?

                            I totally agree with you. A mushrik, by the definition of the root, has to be someone who believes in God, and at the same time follows the commands of another source

                              Some typographic error perhaps is not lertting things seem more clear. If the British employee is serving the interests of the Russians under any influence/consideration this will be merely corruption and cheating not Shirk. Mushrik does not denote "one is a mushrik with respect to....".

                                its nice to know there are quite a few of us on this forum who hold to such a view.

                                God Bless.

                                  even you will agree , obeying two masters with opposing views is shirk that isn't acceptable in any place- check a dictionary.

                                  This is in urdu as well- if you understand it.

                                  God Bless.

                                    According to this definition every God believing person who is an employee is a "mushrik".Because he has to obey to command of his 'boss' as well.

                                    Very strange definition

                                      Not really,

                                      first you have to know what is Allah.

                                      To obey Allah is to create/have a certain type of relationship with everybody/everything.

                                      So if the command of your boss don't go against the said relationship, that described by the attributes then you are obeying Allah. And hopefully your boss won't be a mushrik neither thus he would also be obeying the said relationship.

                                      Its no surprise your thinking the way you are - learn what Allah is, He isn't the God.

                                      God Bless.
