    Some people dont see the need for any more messengers.

    The messenger cannot inspire except by Gods leave. Any whom God chooses to be inspired by the messenger will recieve inspiration from the messenger.

    It is not for God to speak to any human except threw inspiration or from behind a barrier, or by sending a messenger to inspire whom He wills by His leave. In 4251, a messenger is someone God might send to inspire anyone God pleases by His leave. In 4252, God inspired to you a revelation of His command. Made as a light to guide whomever We wish from among Our servants. Surely, you guide to a straight path. New messengers may be sent so that they can inspire. We need inspiration. To reject this messenger without knowledge is to reject God because the messenger is one way that God uses to speak to us. Thoe it seems that no more messengers will come, they will if God chooses to speak to the human using this method. There are three ways God speaks to the human. And threw a messenger is one way He does this.

    Proof-

    4251 And it is not for any human being that God would speak to him, except through inspiration, or from behind a barrier, or by sending a messenger to inspire whom He wills by His leave. He is Most High, Wise.

    God will send a messenger to inspire whomever He wills by His leave. Or He may speak to one by direct inspiration, or from behind a barrier. If God chooses to speak to you, it is not for Him to do so except threw the above mentioned methods.

    peace

      Peace, i would like to correct this and reprash it.... from " it is not for God to speak to human" to " it is not for any human that God would speak to them except..."

        In Quran Allah has clearly mentioned the systems to follow and we do not need a new "messenger" or "messengers" to tell us about those niether do these new "messengers" have to visit any town or village or city to warn them against Natrual disasters.

        Peace Raj-ah and every one
        First, Prophet Mohamed (PBUH) was the seal of Prophets and not Messengers--no more revelation after Quran .

        Second, when analyzing the Nation of Mohamed, we will note that there are 100s of sects; they are fighting within themselves and with others (people of the Books). Now, do you see a problem?
        I believe that God had and will keep inspiring whom He chooses (Messengers) to warn Humans to stick to the Book when preaching God's religion. And in our days, we see that this is happening all over the world; we see people who are saying This is the Book; in it is guidance sure, without doubt, to those who fear Allah. (2-2); and when they do that, they get killed or tortured by their communities...Does that remind you with the Quranic stories in which God described killing and torturing of people who promote His Words?

        May God Bless the Believers whom are preaching and protecting God's Words

          That is also my view on this issue and I expressed it somewhere like this on some other thread... We just cannot appoint ourselves to be DIVINELY appointed messengers... We just follow the EXAMPLE of Muhammad, warn the people and call them to Al-Islam, the deen that GOD chose for mankind... In this way, anyone can be a messenger... However, not a DIVINELY APPOINTED MESSENGER...

          Regards

          Allah knows best...

              Dear All,

              The problem regarding messenger issue is that when people talk about messenger they always think about some special person for a nation with narrating verses(new or old alike). Please answer the following questions in a way that it can constitute a system and not special circumstances.

              Here are few questions for those who say human messenger is not needed and Quran or Quran and sunnah is enough for guidance.

              1. Is this not an injustice from God to the people after the era of prophet Mohammad?
              2. Is this a justice that one group is bestowed with a living messenger and others are left to understand Quran by themselves?
              3. The people who believe that Quran is the only guidance can show me what is the way they are on? (what i see on sights advocating Quran alone is opinions of different persons who in the end keep on finding new things all the time and they have no definite answer for anything)

              Here are few questions for those who think more messenger can come.

              1. If messengers are to come then how are you going to judge that the one who claims is the true messenger?
              2. Messenger is for how many people? is it for a group of 50 people or is it for 5000,50000,500000 etc.
              3. To what extent one should follow a messenger?

              Regards.

                Peace all

                1. If messengers are to come then how are you going to judge that the one who claims is the true messenger?

                379

                379 It is not for a human that God would give him the Scripture and the authority and the prophethood, then he would say to the people ?Be servants to me rather than God!?, rather ?Be devotees for what you have been taught of the Scripture, and for what you studied.?

                1. Messenger is for how many people? is it for a group of 50 people or is it for 5000,50000,500000 etc.

                It will vary; especially in the internet age.

                1. To what extent one should follow a messenger?

                The Quran is your final judge; in other words, any True message has to be confirmed by the Quran.

                Peace

                That is also my view on this issue and I expressed it somewhere like this on some other thread... We just cannot appoint ourselves to be DIVINELY appointed messengers...

                Allah knows best...

                I agree; Any one can choose to work for God (God always has an opining for any one who wants to promote and defend His Messages). But they have to understand what they are promoting before promoting; they can not add or delete any thing to God's words.
                Peace

                    we have 3 so called messengers on this site alone, and they deny each other, all we can do is wait and see what proofs they have, if for me i find that it is acceptable i will take it.

                    Peace,
                    Is that true ???
                    Who r those 3 people ??

                      According to Quran, no one can delete or add a single verse to it; but when RK decided to delete to verses, He was wrong, and therefore, no one should follow him. Read the next verse (focus on the red part)

                      379 It is not for a human that God would give him the Scripture and the authority and the prophethood, then he would say to the people ?Be servants to me rather than God!?, rather ?Be devotees for what you have been taught of the Scripture, and for what you studied.?

                        What's funny to me is how people often accept Dr. Rashad Khalifa's teachings, yet they reject him because the only thing they associate with his ideologies is the alleged removal of 2 verses from the Quran. If people actually looked at the authentic ideologies of Rashad instead of judging him and claiming that he removed Quranic verses, many of them would become believers.

                        Peace BelH,

                        According to Quran, no one can delete or add a single verse to it; but when RK decided to delete to verses, He was wrong, and therefore, no one should follow him.

                        This is completely wrong, brother, WRONG. The scripture does NOT say that nothing can be added to or deleted from only the Quran... What do I mean by this? Let's examine the scripture...

                        Surely, we have revealed this scripture, and surely, we will preserve it. (159)

                        It's absolutely ridiculous that people interpret this to be referring to the Quran specifically. This clearly says that it will be preserved by Allah because "we have revealed this scripture"... Didn't Allah also reveal the Torah and the Gospel? Yet, you say they have been altered. Based on the context, this verse implies that ALL of God's scripture is preserved. So, why don't you believe the other scriptures to be preserved? Do you think God is a liar? Also, look at this scripture, which implies the same thing

                        The disbelievers rejected this message when it came to them, though it is a profound scripture. No falsehood can enter it, through addition or deletion, for it is a revelation from the Wise, the Praiseworthy. (4141-42)

                        This scripture states it even more plainly. It gives the statement (i.e. "No falsehood can enter it...&quot, and then it gives the reason (i.e. "for/because it is a revelation from the Wise, the Praiseworthy&quot. Now, since the Torah, Gospel, and Statute Book are all revelations from God, this means they are ALL preserved. What you are neglecting is the format in which they are preserved. According to 8522, they are kept secure in a "lawh mahfuz"/preserved tablet. So, the question is WHERE IS THIS TABLET? Is it on the Earth? Is it with Allah? Maybe you should ask yourself this. Nowhere in the Quran does it say that all the copies and translations of the scriptures would be preserved and kept from alteration. This is a ridiculous misinterpretation. It says the actual "revelations" of God (i.e. the ORIGINALS) would be preserved. For us, Allah has given us a way to determine the true words of His revelations and to separate them from the fabrications. With regards to the originals, do you know the locations of the original revelations of Allah, or do you know where the "preserved tablets" are located?

                        By the way, it's pretty interesting to me that this word (i.e. "lawh&quot has the same root as the word "lawaha", used in 7429, right before the words, "On it is nineteen" (7430). Is this a coincidence?

                        Peace,

                        Ahmad

                          OK FOR THE LAST TIME HE DID NOT REMOVE ANY VERSES.......they never were part of the quran to begin with... so he never removed anything, and i have said this before the title that mohamad is given in the verse 128 can ONLY and ONLY and ONLY how many onlyies do i need to say,only belong to god..... the quran is a spiritualu book and every word in it is precise to the dot...... why in all of the quran we only find this title used for mohamad and nowhere else, and dont show me ayat i know the quran from one end to the other, second is it just concidence that bismillah is not found in that specifc chapter, or are we to assume god for the heck of it did not put bismillah, or maybe justttttttt maybe he knows the future and knew that there will bea time when someone added to the quran and this is one of the clues to prove it, not to mention there are others as in these 2 verses were makiyat and his last sermon was in madina yet the whole chapter came down in medina.... there is enough evidence to prove that these 2 verses are fake, for those who are truely sincere to the truth...
                          and donot tell me that god said he protected the quran and if these were not quran then he didnt protect it...... first of all gods word was protect from the day it came down and mind you these 2 verses were the last added after mohamads death but the hidden miracle which rashad khailfa discovered, discovered .... he did not wake up one day and say oh lets look for the 19 number......... it didnt go down that way
                          he was checking for the letters of the quran anaylizing in the computer and by concidence he discovered the code so it was the code that came to him.... as god wished it
                          and so through the code 19 it was yet again discovered not him waking up one day saying well im going to take some ayat out of the quran, lets see which ones should i take out today..... no no it didnt go down like that either
                          that these verses were not part of the quran........................................
                          now people can argue this till they have no breathe left in them. so be it, but it will change nothing, god is not going to change his ways because a few people are to arrogant to accept a messenger, its not bad enough they wont even look at his translation, so now even his translation is not worthy.............please people everyone elses is.....
                          in any case lan tahdi man a7babit inna allah yahdi man yasha2

                            I have request for you (anna and Bilal, and any 19ers), can you answer the following

                            First, did RK remove 9-128 & 129 from the Quran that He Believed in and then called the new version the Pure Quran, or did He find a Version that Does not have 9-128 & 129 that He Called it the Pure Version?

                            Second, Would you Testify that Rashad Kalifa is a True Messenger of God?

                                Peace BelH,

                                First, did RK remove 9-128 & 129 from the Quran that He Believed in and then called the new version the Pure Quran, or did He find a Version that Does not have 9-128 & 129 that He Called it the Pure Version?

                                First of all, Dr. Khalifa didn't remove any verses from the Quran. I already explained this entire concept to you... When Rashad developed his translation, he admitted that his work was far from perfect. However, when he called it "pure", he was referring to it being free from fabricated verses. In other words, his translation was purely proportionate, and everything in it was verified by the Quran's proof.

                                Second, Would you Testify that Rashad Kalifa is a True Messenger of God?

                                I've already answered this for you as well. Allah is enough as a witness of His messengers, so I don't need to testify regarding his messengership. My shahaada is, "La ilaaha ila Allah" (There is no god but Allah).

                                Peace,

                                Ahmad

                                  Salaamun All,

                                  Peace all
                                  I have request for you (anna and Bilal, and any 19ers), can you answer the following

                                  First, did RK remove 9-128 & 129 from the Quran that He Believed in and then called the new version the Pure Quran, or did He find a Version that Does not have 9-128 & 129 that He Called it the Pure Version?

                                  Second, Would you Testify that Rashad Kalifa is a True Messenger of God?

                                  )

                                  These testifications does not required actually. As Allah said


                                  11120 AND out of all the accounts relating to the Messengers We convey unto thee that wherewith We make firm thy heart for through these comes the truth unto thee, as well as an admonition and a reminder unto all believers.

                                  (11120)

                                  When everything is told about THE Messengers, then what is the use of sending new THE Messengers?

                                  Apart from that, Allah also said


                                  53 FORBIDDEN to you is carrion, and blood, and the flesh of swine, and that over which any name other than God's has been invoked, and the animal that has been strangled, or beaten to death, or killed by a fall, or gored to death, or savaged by a beast of prey, save that which you may have slaughtered while it was still alive; and all that has been slaughtered on idolatrous altars. And to seek to learn through divination what the future may hold in store for you this is sinful conduct. Today, those who , are bent on denying the truth have lost all hope of your religion do not, then, hold them in awe, but stand in awe of Me! Today have I perfected your religious law for you, and have bestowed upon you the full measure of My blessings, and willed that self-surrender unto Me shall be your religion. As for him, however, who is driven by dire necessity and not by an inclination to sinning -behold, God is much-forgiving, a dispenser of grace.

                                  (53)

                                  Do you think still THE Messengers can come. Rasools will come till the end of this world but ALRasools will not. This is what I believe.

                                  Allah knows best.

                                        It is fairly sad that you feel the only way you can connect to our creator is through a book you most likely can barely read. Apologies if I'm wrong.

                                          technically its not the only way but it is the strongest, i like meditating late at night and just sitting with him, all alone...
                                          and its not just a book, it his book his words, actually im bad at reading, i have managed to read it oh maybe a 100 times or so from beginning to end in arabic..if not more, so yes you are right im not very good at reading
