Those who take partners
-
Peace AK85,
Thank you for posting your thoughts. I believe 448 is the verse you're looking for?
I find 622-24 particularly enlightening on the issue i.e. idolators are not aware (and deny in the strongest language) that they had committed shrik. It must noted that this is not limited to any group, for it is but a humble reminder. -

I just feel that Sunnis should take particular heed though, because perhaps they may feell that it couldn't possibly apply to them

God expects a peacefull society. Everyone worships their own idols and take partners with HIM.
Idols need not be a physical object, it can be anything that causes ego in ones mind and makes him think "I am different than others, or my way is the best way".
Racism, groupism, nationalism etc etc...everything are form of idols and causes fights and were against a peacefull(islamic) society.

There is no such thing as anything but Allah. Allah is the only reality, therefore how can you have other "Allah"s without being an idiot, blind to truth?

About those who in this world identify themselves as "Christians" and in Arabic as Nisara, this verdict of Allah must not be overlooked.

And indeed you the Messenger will find nearer in loving association for those who accepted/believed such people who identified themselves saying "We are Nisa'ara"They are the only people who have affection, love and sympathy for Believers. We should acknowledge and respect this.

Ok we are all familiar with the only sin God will not forgive, those who take partners with Allah.
Now...what I wanted to discuss is what goes through the minds of muslims when they read this verse.
Well, personally, I see a lot of "We" going on in the surahs, as Al Lah addresses the Prophet and the people through him, peace be upon them all. I can only think to myself that "partner" is a bit misleading in translation. We're talking about a society that is heavily engaged in social interaction within the marketplace (and caravan) on a daily basis so, perhaps, there is a clue here as to a better interpretation or translation.
And perhaps, then, this is the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit that Isa is quoted as referring to in the canonical Gospels.
It is also the only "unforgiveable sin".God is one. That is the only real addition to the discussion which I can offer at present.

Mark 329
But it was just a conjecture.
I'm very skeptical about any religious text I read anymore. -

Chapter5Thank you very much for bringing this up, this interests me a great deal and I am going to study this verse and look at commentary on it. May God be pleased with you.

As for "Oh he is not just any man..." That is incorrect, he specifically SAYS I am a man like you.
And if he wasn't, why would God ask us to pray for him and pray for his forgiveness? Why would we have to pray for someone who is perfect?
The highlights above are from me.
Salaam Dear AK85,
I do appreciate all your views in this post and second them all, but I am not sure if I've run into such a verse in The Qur'aan in which WE are told to pray for forgiveness of the Prophet. On the other hand, in verse 4719, GOD commands the Prophet to ask for forgiveness of his own sin and also for men and women believers as well. Let me know if you can pinpoint the verse you mentioned above.
Peace,
Khalil -

brother I have been searching this morning before I went to work and now that i have come back but I cannot find it. If I erred it is because my memory did not serve me well, but for now I am reasonably certain that I saw this verse in which Allah asks the believers to pray for the prophet's (pbuh) forgiveness. I know there are verses which say to ask God to bless him, but I remembered this ayat specifically because it mentioned asking Allah to forgive him

Dear Brother AK85,
Don't bother, like I menitoned before, I do not think there is any verse in The Qur'aan through which GOD(swt) directing the believers to implore Him to forgive the Prophet, but the vice versa.
Anyways, it is very impotant to ALWAYS ducument the word of GOD very accurately whenever we reffer to it. The word of GOD MUST NOT be treated as HEARSAY nonsense, like hadith or sunnah, and... routinely used by the sectarians. We must practice patience in that regard, and then, when reached certainty, then act upon it.
In the words of the preacher, "not a sermon, just a thought." ;D

KhalilSalaam and thank you for your advice, I have actually already began to take heed in another forum I frequent in regards to providing the documentation and patiently collecting the references before I make arguments. I will do this in the future as well. Once again thank you for your sound advice, I acted in haste to make this point and was swallowed by my fervour. This was wrong and I will be patient in the future, as God as has instructed me to in many ayats.
Salaam and thank you once again with sincerity for your advice
