caliph umar converts dumping ground into a "holy" site
-
belh-The Facts are in Quran, Injeel and Torah.
- The unwavering loyalty u display for the books of jews & christians impresses me. But all v have in support of jerusalem's holiness is the misplaced emotion of her faithfuls. But emotional attachment carries no value as evidence. Does it? -)
On the other hand, its history points to destruction & ruin. Would any sane person take a place which gives testimony to utter destruction, a dumping ground -- littered with bones of foxes & pigs & who knows who all, to be blessed? -)
Most importantly the book of the muslims talks about the ill-fate of the temple, but offers no hope to her lovers. Unless her lovers be scavengers, what can v justify their emotions with? Empty words & sad verbosity? Inventing lies in the name of quraan? I reckon reason enough for a muslim to not share the zeal of others. -)
ma'a salaam.
God bless all.

belh-To you is well accepted, but to believers is not.
Why don't u provide some documents?
All the classic symptoms -- no evidence, all empty talks. Refer to ur holy book (exodus, 329) for an explanation of the symptoms u are displaying. -)
ma'a salaam.
God bless all.

You sound ridicules; this is not about a boy fight, this is about God's religion; The Torah, Bible and Quran Confirm Jerusalem to be the place for pilgrim; I advice you to visit the two places, Macca and Jerusalem to witness with your eyes about the traces of the prophets, especially Abraham.
Here are some evidance from quran about the HOLY LAND
520 And Moses said to his people ?My people, remember God?s favor upon you that he made amongst you prophets, and made you kings, and he gave you what He had not given any from the worlds.?
521 ?O my people, enter the holy land that God Has decreed for you, and do not turn your backs, or you will become losers.?Here is God Opinion about people who reject the Truth
541 O messenger, do not be saddened by those who increase in disbelief from among those who said ?We believe? with their mouths while their hearts did not believe. And from among the Jews, there are those who listened to lies; they listened to people who never came to you; they distort the words from their context, and they say ?If you are given this, then take it, but if you are given anything different, then beware!? And whoever God wants to test, then you will not possess anything for him against God. These are the ones whose hearts God did not want to cleanse; in this world they will have humiliation, and in the Hereafter they will have a great retribution.
542 They listen to lies, and consume money illicitly. If they come to you, then you may judge between them or turn away from them; and if you turn away from them then they cannot harm you in the least; and if you judge then judge between them with justice. God loves those who are just.Here are what God's opinion about Injeel and Torah that more appealing to the believers than youes
544 We have sent down the Torah, in it is guidance and a light; the prophets who have submitted judged with it for those who are Jews, as well as the Rabbis, and the Priests, for what they were entrusted of God?s Scripture, and they were witness over. So do not fear the people but fear Me; and do not purchase with My revelations a cheap price. And whoever does not judge with what God has sent down, then these are the rejecters.
546 And We sent in their footsteps Jesus the son of Mary, authenticating what was present with him of the Torah. And We gave him the Injeel, in it is guidance and light, and to authenticate what is present with him of the Torah, and a guidance and lesson for the righteous.
547 And let the people of the Injeel judge with what God has sent down in it. And whoever does not judge with what God has sent down, then these are the vile ones.If you wish to disbelieve with the Quran it is your choice, but please do not ask us to do so.

More bad news for grave-worshippers. The site of temple mount served as a graveyard for pigs & foxes. At least, their bones.
Lamentations, literally -- Bones of pigs & foxes found on site of temple mount

It demonstrates class to call people who disagree with your opinion 'grave-worshippers'. I would say, so what to your article.
Who knows what they would find in Mecca if it was open to investigation?

m_mehdi-I always thought we should convert holy sites into dumping grounds...
- The "holy site" was a dumping ground before it became "holy".

So, is your sequence of events (with regards to the 'temple mount' alledged location in Jerusalem)
nothing ---> rubbish dump --> place of veneration for Jews and Muslims?
-
For some reason the jews & christians find jerusalem holy.
And for some reason, the sunnis & shiites find jerusalem "holy". But what is this reason?
The answer seems to lie in 171. Almost all popular sunni & shiite interpretations tell us that al-masjid al-aqsa is a location at jerusalem. A good reason to hold jerusalem "dearest of all to their hearts". Of course, nothing in the quraan even remotely suggests this.
A strawman argument. This is a Muslim forum, not a Sunni/Shia forum. I am sure most here believe 396-7 to be the important verse. I am happy to listen to your arguments, but they seem to consist of
- Insulting others
- Disproving Jerusalem through it's historical claim, but demonstrating no evidence for Mecca being the place of pilgrimage.

Here are some evidance from quran about the HOLY LAND
- I remarked previously that ur words were proving u to be a sad liar. & u are doing nothing to change this perception. I have repeatedly asked u to show me "jerusalem" in the quraan, & u have failed to do so.
As for the holy land, there is nothing holy about the history of jerusalem; whether or not anybody likes it.

Have your Deen and I have mine.By this time it is pretty clear which book ur allegiance lies with. Attempt at rhetoric doesnt help u.
Why don't u show the narration of abraham & ishmael building the bayt in ur holy books (the testaments). Surely, such an important event would merit a mention.
I have nothing to do with those who worship at graves, be they garves of humans, or of foxes & pigs. -)
Again, keep aside ur emotional attachment & bring evidence. If u consult the quraan rather than ur holy books, the ill-fate of the temple is clear (177).
ma'a salaam.

roshan-It demonstrates class to call people who disagree with your opinion 'grave-worshippers'. I would say, so what to your article.
- Don't let prejudice flavor ur outlook. Take a look at his insinuations. Further, it is his belief that the bayt of God is over some unidentified tombs. If u want to worship at tombs, go ahead by all means.
-So, is your sequence of events (with regards to the 'temple mount' alledged location in Jerusalem)

Read properly.

While u do claim to be open to my posts, ur biased outburst tells otherwise.
As for insulting others, if u find the history of jerusalem insulting then why do u cling to it? It is a fact that it was named after a pagan deity. The destruction of the temple of jerusalem is a fact. & it is a fact that it has been found to be littered with the bones of pigs & foxes. If u don't like facts, it's okay; but don't label listing facts as insulting others.
That is the precise scenario, v know the history of jerusalem & u cannot fit muhammad there, no matter how hard u try. If u want, u can take a try at locating jerusalem in the quraan.
ma'a salaam.

thegod, Obviously your brain were numbed by the Truth of God's verses that show the divinity of Torah and Injeel, and therefore, you couldn't comment.As for the holy land, there is nothing holy about the history of jerusalem; whether or not anybody likes it.

belh-Again, I'm done with you in this one...see in another thread.
Okay. Looks like u have still not located the construction of the bayt by abraham & ishmael in the bible. Hmm. I have to say ur holy book has missed out on a very important narration. And this makes ur book a very poor source for any muslim study. How then are u going to prove that 521 refers to "jerusalem," which is not even mentioned in the quraan?. -)
Further, the land where abraham & ishmael built the kaaba has been called "balad alamin". And because abraham & ishmael never built the kaaba according to the bible, finding this place in the bible is a logical impossibility.
On the other hand, v have the quraan talking about the annihilation of the temple, without ascribing any holiness to it, let alone the city it stood in. & v have the history of jerusalem testifying to its own sorry existence. Nor can I help bones of pigs & foxes being found there. How much evidence will u avoid? Including the fact that u cannot fit muhammad in the well-established history of jerusalem.
Last time around, u disappeared without showing the arabic "makam ibrahim" on those unidentified tombs. Are u going to follow suit? -)
I have a question for u If almasjid alharaam is in jerusalem, where is almasjid alaq'saa?
ma'a salaam.
God bless all.

The destruction of the temple of jerusalem is a fact.
Peace
So you accept there was a temple in Jerusalem?
Beca is mentioned in the Psalms and is considered to Jerusalem, or very close to it (from my understanding). The description in that Psalm is also about a 'hajj'.
Yathrib is mentioned in the Quran (many thanks for providing me with a quote I was not aware of), but Medina is not (Mecca=Beca argument).In the Quran, the people of Mecca hindered the hajj. This does not mean that the hajj was near Mecca however.
-
roshan-So you accept there was a temple in Jerusalem?
- Yes, this is what I have always implied. Also, the quraan mentions a temple which was destructed (177). Not mentioned is anything holy about it.

-Beca is mentioned in the Psalms and is considered to Jerusalem, or very close to it (from my understanding). The description in that Psalm is also about a 'hajj'.
- I will reserve my comment on this for now.
What v know for a certainty from the quraan is that abraham & ishmael built the bayt at becca. What do u make of the complete asbence of abraham & ishmael building this bayt in the bible?
-Yathrib is mentioned in the Quran (many thanks for providing me with a quote I was not aware of), but Medina is not (Mecca=Beca argument).
- Medina is mentioned in the quraan. Among other verses, please refer to 9120.
-In the Quran, the people of Mecca hindered the hajj. This does not mean that the hajj was near Mecca however.
- If the hajj is farther north from medina, how then did the people of mecca, south of medina, hinder the hajj?
ma'a salaam.

Okay. Looks like u have still not located the construction of the bayt by abraham & ishmael in the bible.
God revealed stories in the Torah that are not in Quran; in other words, the three books complete each others; so if the story of Abraham in Quran says that Abraham STARTED the Building, But did not Complete, the same story does not need to be in Torah and Bible. Moreover, the three books are Divine Books According To God.
And as Abraham raised the foundations from the Dwelling with Ishmael ?Our Lord accept this from us, You are the Hearer, the Knowledgeable.?
2127Moreover, the three books are Divine Books According To God...so if you disagree with God, then feel free but keep it to yourself.
Further, the land where abraham & ishmael built the kaaba has been called "balad alamin".
Agree...Now look for the place that Has the following Landmarks in order to identify the City of Peace
951 By the fig and the olive.
952 And the mount of Sineen.
953 And this town of peace.I have a question for u If almasjid alharaam is in jerusalem, where is almasjid alaq'saa?
I believe it is the One in Madina where Makam Prophet Mohamed.
- If the hajj is farther north from medina, how then did the people of mecca, south of medina, hinder the hajj?
Maybe because they did that
9107 And there are those who establish a temple to do harm and cause rejection, and to divide between the believers, and as an outpost for those who fought God and His messenger before. They will swear that they only wanted to do good, and God bears witness that they are liars.
9108 Do not maintain in it ever. A temple that is founded on righteousness from the first day is more worthy that you maintain in it; in it are men who love to be cleansed. And God loves the cleansed.
9109 Is one who lays his foundation on obtaining righteousness from God and His acceptance better, or one who lays his foundation on the edge of a cliff which is about to crumble, so that it crumbled with him into the fires of Hell? God does not guide the wicked people.
9110 Such a structure that they erect will continue to cause doubt in their hearts, until their hearts are severed. God is Knowledgeable, Wise.

belh-
- Expectedly, u cannot explain the absence of the narrative in the bible. The fact is that there are many "stories" common to the quraan & the bible; yet this important event has gone completely unmentioned in the book of jews & christians. Wonder then that the quraan tells the believers to not heed the rejectors (3100) who argue in vain(366)?
Now, that does explain the absence of the kaaba from that book, doesn't it?
-952 And the mount of Sineen.
- Never mind the admissibility of ur criteria, but the second of ur holy books tells us that sinai is in arabia.
But there is no ambiguity in the quraan regarding the temple which was destroyed. -)

This is not going anywhere; Sini is attached to Jerusalem and too far from Mecca. Moreover, When reading the Injeel and Torah, distinguish between translation and original, and between Isa writings and Paul's.
Even thus, all speak about Jerusalem but non about Mecca.Have a nice day...we are done
