    No...

    Sorry Simple, nothing against you.
    brickwall

    I just find it incredibly hard to believe that one can really manipulate vereses/words that far to get that much of a difference.

    I want to do the same thing as an example however with english.

    Perhaps I'll use the Cat in the Hat book by Dr.Sues and try to see how many different interpretations/translations/manipulations I can find.
    I know spanish, so Im going to try and translate it in spanish...perhaps that way then I can see how its done.

    Its still not making any sense to me.

    So this Means Freeminds, Edip Yuksel, Rashad Khalifa, are all manipulating words in the arabic language for verese 5.6?

      Salamun alaikum,

      Brother simples, just identifying that a common practice exists with the Zoroastrians does not mean that it is wrong.

      The requirements for wudhu are physical and are the BASIC requirements. If you do not do those things and you are still unclean - well you then need to take a bath and shouldn't be performing wudhu.

      I agree with you, people leave themselves still wet after performing wudhu - and this is an excellent medium for the growth and spreading of harmful microbes - but this is because people take some hadith about not drying yourself afterwards and add extra gargling motions etc - in THEIR eyes they are replacing having a good scrub and clean with a ritual.

      Personally, the act of performing wudhu is refreshing and mentally prepares me for praying. In a hot country, no doubt you can just wash yourself and you would dry without the need of a towel - you WOULD feel refreshed too. I don't subscribe to the half-a-lota limit for using water for wudhu that the brelwis have. I will use it freely.

      Wudhu is also about taking care of yourself. You use your hands and feet in your daily activities - so you would clean them...

      try this yourself, if you work in an office, don't wash your hands all day, then at the end of the day use warm water and soap - you can see the dirt just falling off - it's that you are wholly unclean, just that your hands need a wash...

      Also, on a second point, there is no need to interpret the verse in any other way other than using the words given as it is a command...

      I hope I didn't ramble on too much.

      Oh, and RA786 - great picture - it's burnt onto my retina now - THANKS! D

      Peace
      d

        peace RA786, all,

        'Simple' is well known for keeping things 'simple', i.e. disregarding cross-reference and Quranic grammar, and has often confused roots. See past discussion between myself and him for example.

        All information is correct to the best of my knowledge only and thus should not be taken as a fact. One should always seek knowledge and verify for themselves when possible: 17:36, 20:114, 35:28, 49:6, 58:11.

          Sorry Br i can't accept your rules when your rules can make monkies and pigs from men - as are in your quranic translation and other things besides.

          Shows the differance in our views. nope

                Salamun alaikum,

                Simples - it's fine if you've given it up, I assume then that you bathe prior to praying or before doing salat?

                Peace

                  Well darcus,

                  I bath every morning that suffices.

                  And the second quistion, i consider tha sallat to be something done between mankind-to benefit/educate one another for the better.

                  God, well he is aware of us always and knows whether we are on his side or not.

                  I know you believe in the kaaba and all, nothing wrong with that, in fact there isn't anything wrong with any religion as long as you behave goodly.

                  peace

                        So me meeting up with my friends and talking about what is the best Alternitave to Gasoline 3 times a day can be consittered my Salaat according to you?

                        Or also, Just me going to work and working all day could then be consittered my Salaat. (since in someway it will benifit mankind)?

                        So really then just living life normal can be consittered Salaat and Going into the city and doing a little charity could be consittered Hajj.

                        wow Islam really is fairly easy then. Its basically just doing things normally like every other person in my city.

                        "Whats Your religion?"

                        -"Living life".

                            why 3 time?! The number is according to your requirements.

                            Or also, Just me going to work and working all day could then be consittered my Salaat. (since in someway it will benifit mankind)?

                            No but you can have a meeting with your collegues or your boss, that would be.

                            So really then just living life normal can be consittered Salaat and Going into the city and doing a little charity could be consittered Hajj.

                            Salaat in the west you do it in a bank ,a school,at home,during a crises,in the houses of parliment you are in salaat even know putting your honest opinions -if they are honest and not merely reverberating what you have been programmed with.

                            Hajj- a desire for a fair and just system.

                            wow Islam really is fairly easy then. Its basically just doing things normally like every other person in my city.

                            Islam is living your life peaceably.

                            "Whats Your religion?"

                            "only a life lived for others is a life worth living"

                                    and the behavior of a Muslim is to simply do good. and to simply do Hajj (desire to want a just system) and Salaat (to meet with people about good things)...
                                    so basically...under those Conditionss Anyone can be a muslim.

                                    Even Occultic Sun worshippers can then be muslim. I have also seen many Wiccans who

                                    A) Belive in God (s)
                                    B)Do Hajj
                                    C)Do Salaat

                                    So I guess their Muslim too.

                                    The more I think of it...It seems to me that This Simplified view of the Quran takes away from the Amazingness I thought of Islam.
                                    Im not trying to sound arrogant, its just that...well... Did a Book with 114 chapters really NEED to be reavealed to simple just say 3 things?

                                    A)Do Hajj (Desire to WANT a Good System) ---Opps Almost forgotThose of you who are "able" to do so
                                    B) Do Salaat (Meet up with others who want to talk about Good stuff)
                                    C) Believe in God.

                                    I think all of this could have been achieved on 1 page.
                                    An Atheist would even say that this has already been the goal of humans way before the Quran and in other books such as Karl Marks Communist Manifesto.

                                    If Hajj is really JUST "A desire to want a better system for humanity...we uh....I think the WHOLE WORLD would agree to that.
                                    The whole world has done hajj then at one point of another.

                                    Karl Marx, Che Guavara, and many others have all done Hajj. EVen I have done hajj (everyday) by simply "Wanting" a better system.

                                    This is what I dont understand If The Quran Simply is a Book simply requests you to do hajj and salaat...why did it take 114 chapters and 20 years to do so?
                                    Couldnt any sane humanbeing have done the same thing on less paper?

                                    • Personnally, I obviously think there is more to islam that your simplfied Hajj and Salaat and absence of wudu.*
                                      I dont think that Allah would repeat himself a Million different ways saying the exact same thing so we get confused.

                                    i.e.

                                    "Do Good Deeds......Do Salaat....Do Good types of works....Do Salaat....
                                    Want a better system......hajj.....want a better way of life....durring the hajj 4 sacred months do hajj ....want a better government...lol
                                    ???

                                      Sorry Br i can't accept your rules when your rules can make monkies and pigs from men - as are in your quranic translation and other things besides.

                                      Why do you call me "Br" (which I assume means 'brother&#039 then lie or misrepresent my views immediately after?

                                      Where have I ever said "make monkies and pigs from men" and what is this "your quranic translation" of mine you refer to?

                                      Let me put it as clearly as I can for all forum members 'Simple' frequently posts translations yet disregards cross-reference, Quranic grammar, often confuses roots, and is deceptive in his approach i.e. when caught out he says he will do cross-reference in future yet never does or makes up his own reasoning on the correct root (yet knows almost no Arabic), and as you can see above does not mind misrepresenting/lying about others' views.
                                      On the plus side, not all his posts are nonsense if you shoot enough bullets in the dark you're bound to hit the target on occasion.

                                      All information is correct to the best of my knowledge only and thus should not be taken as a fact. One should always seek knowledge and verify for themselves when possible: 17:36, 20:114, 35:28, 49:6, 58:11.

                                          According to the grammer you up hold so dearly;
                                          Man change to apes ;
                                          265
                                          Is that according to the grammer you uphold?
                                          If it is how am i lying?
                                          If you don?t believe in such a translation then my apologies.

                                          God be with you too.
