    You need to see what Deen is ........

    Fulfillment of your obligations or something , please see lanes or something.

    Yeah fine, so spliitng your obligations is fine. Still doesn't mean 'segmenting MANKIND'.

      The first commandment says (in the bible) "I am the Lord thy God, you shall have no other gods before me". Surly, if you put someone (anyone) on a level with God then you have broken that commandment?

      Yes , and putting a dead person on a level with God doesn't do anything at all.

      But when you obey other then the God what or who ever you are obeying is who you are putting on a level footing wit God.

      You are not obeying any body dead you cannot obey them, they cannot lead you astray, so has nothing to do with the dead person.

      peace

        Disagreed. 16/86 When those who gave partners to Allah will see their "partners", they will say "Our Lord! these are our 'partners,' those whom we used to invoke besides Thee..

        Here it's very clear that if you call for other than Allah (and we can debate what 'nad'3uu' min doonika' means too) then whom you call for (they must be dead since they're seeing them for the first time AFTER the hour) will considered 'partners with Allah'.

        I think you're not taking the concept in full. Selective reading of the ayaat.

        Yes everybody will be dead that day, but when they called them they where alive, and so both will now burn in the fire.

        peace

          Splitting people up who you can and who you won't fulfill your obligations to.........without any bad conduct on their part is shirk.

            So Jesus will be in the fire? Because ppl DURING HIS TIME called him god and he never corrected them?

              Well that is one of the problems. People DURING his time did not call him god. It was only after a couple of hundred years.

                  Well i dunno if they did (i dont use history to engage with Quran) but if they did, he'd have corrected them.

                        Abdal you only make others partners of God is when you start obeying their commands- which are against the nature of God.

                        And no prophet ever would give such an order- i think, so they cannot be partners to God.

                        So no prophet ever makes a sect but that which is between Goodness and badness.

                        So they will not burn.

                        It is others who may say the prophet said so and so and mislead you are the partners with God.

                        Good hunting. peace

                              That is one story. The other is that he accepted it and made it the official Roman religion. He is credited with the building of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem and Old Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome

                                Oh, there you go,

                                peace

                                Are all religions okay so long as the people are

                                1. Peaceful,
                                2. Truthful,
                                3. Kind.

                                hmm

                                if not why not? and isn't that anti quran?

                                peace

                                That's what you got when you don't pay attention to the first post...

                                Now, let's get to your terms 1. Peaceful 2. Truthful 3. Kind

                                I would have to ask what is your definition (i know, boring...) of "Peaceful", "Truthful" (oh, this one is straightforward, leave it), and "Kind".

                                If "Kind" is defined as those who do "Albirr" in 2177

                                Not that "Albirr" is you turn your faces toward the east or the west,
                                but "Albirr" is
                                those who believe in
                                God, and
                                the Last Day, and
                                the angels, and
                                the Book, and
                                the prophets; and
                                give wealth, in spite of love for it, to
                                the families, and
                                the orphans, and
                                the poors, and
                                the wayfarers, and
                                the beggars, and to
                                free slaves; and
                                establishes AlSalaat and
                                pays Alzakaat; and
                                fulfill their promise when they promise; and
                                are perseverant (AlSabiriyn) in poverty and hardship and during battle.
                                Those are the ones who have been true, and it is those who are the Reverends (Almuttaquwn).

                                (Take "Salaat" as their way to contact God, and as for "zakaat"--well, the "known amount", 2.5% is easily bearable.)

                                Then "Yes".

                                That, or the definition of Ihsan or those of "AlmuHsiniyn" throughout the Book.
                                Such as, they would quickly repent to their God if they did wrong.
                                Saying the best of words to their parents.
                                Taking the best of words to decide on.

                                On the other hand, one could easily claim "Oh she's a kind person--she gave me cookies this morning!"
                                (OK, that would still be part right if you are of her family, or you are an orphan, or you are a poor, or you are... ah--just read 2177 yourself)

                                So that's why i say it entirely depends on the definition of your terms. Definitions or descriptions of "Kindness" in the Book are by far the best ones i know. Elegant, comprehensive, actionable and testing at once. I would gladly refer to 2177 as 'the perfect antithesis to all the useless hypocritical theories on Kindness'.

                                If you see someone that prefers to dwell in any activity so obsessively that he thought it is more important than the actions of 2177, then... uh, just don't be like him. (I'm running out of words and must have breakfast soon)

                                Simple, Peace!

                                    Ok simple, let me ask you this way

                                    When your religion says 'God has a son', can that religion still be 'ok'?

                                    And do you think maybe this time you can provide some evidence?

                                    Abdal you only make others partners of God is when you start obeying their commands- which are against the nature of God.

                                    And no prophet ever would give such an order- i think, so they cannot be partners to God.

                                    So no prophet ever makes a sect but that which is between Goodness and badness.

                                    So they will not burn.

                                    It is others who may say the prophet said so and so and mislead you are the partners with God.

                                    Good hunting. peace

                                      Agreed. For one, they're well aged. And naturally too.

                                      Seriously, that's one quality we can't have in new architecture. Unless maybe they're built from stones, and still we have to wait for another thousand and eight hundred years...

                                        Peace, Simple!

                                        Umm, the poll got me caught.

                                        Oh, there you go,That's what you got when you don't pay attention to the first post...

                                        Now, let's get to your terms 1. Peaceful 2. Truthful 3. Kind

                                        I would have to ask what is your definition (i know, boring...) of "Peaceful", "Truthful" (oh, this one is straightforward, leave it), and "Kind".

                                        If "Kind" is defined as those who do "Albirr" in 2177

                                        Not that "Albirr" is you turn your faces toward the east or the west,
                                        but "Albirr" is
                                        those who believe in
                                        God, and
                                        the Last Day, and
                                        the angels, and
                                        the Book, and
                                        the prophets; and
                                        give wealth, in spite of love for it, to
                                        the families, and
                                        the orphans, and
                                        the poors, and
                                        the wayfarers, and
                                        the beggars, and to
                                        free slaves; and
                                        establishes AlSalaat and
                                        pays Alzakaat; and
                                        fulfill their promise when they promise; and
                                        are perseverant (AlSabiriyn) in poverty and hardship and during battle.
                                        Those are the ones who have been true, and it is those who are the Reverends (Almuttaquwn).

                                        (Take "Salaat" as their way to contact God, and as for "zakaat"--well, the "known amount", 2.5% is easily bearable.)

                                        Then "Yes".

                                        That, or the definition of Ihsan or those of "AlmuHsiniyn" throughout the Book.
                                        Such as, they would quickly repent to their God if they did wrong.
                                        Saying the best of words to their parents.
                                        Taking the best of words to decide on.

                                        On the other hand, one could easily claim "Oh she's a kind person--she gave me cookies this morning!"
                                        (OK, that would still be part right if you are of her family, or you are an orphan, or you are a poor, or you are... ah--just read 2177 yourself)

                                        So that's why i say it entirely depends on the definition of your terms. Definitions or descriptions of "Kindness" in the Book are by far the best ones i know. Elegant, comprehensive, actionable and testing at once. I would gladly refer to 2177 as 'the perfect antithesis to all the useless hypocritical theories on Kindness'.

                                        If you see someone that prefers to dwell in any activity so obsessively that he thought it is more important than the actions of 2177, then... uh, just don't be like him. (I'm running out of words and must have breakfast soon)

                                        Simple, Peace!

                                        Different sects define these things differently but all are okay so long as they don't lose sight of the foundation envisaged which is the same for all.

                                        1. Peaceful,
                                        2. Truthful,
                                        3. Kind.

                                        of course the way you have defined the ayah above is your religion peace

                                          Ok simple, let me ask you this way

                                          When your religion says 'God has a son', can that religion still be 'ok'?

                                          And do you think maybe this time you can provide some evidence?

                                          002.062
                                          YUSUFALI Those who believe (in the Qur'an), and those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Christians and the Sabians,- any who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and work righteousness, shall have their reward with their Lord; on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.

                                          Although the last day should be something else-but we will leave this as it stands -X

                                          peace
