    Peace be upon you Danish,

    In my understanding, no scientists as of yet, has given any concrete analysis of where the thoughts are generating to and from. Coming from left-side or right-side of brains are simply theories and predictions that scientists are still investigatin/unveiling

    Okay, well while you wait for scientist to confirm things for you, I will use the information that has been with us since the ancient times. With the RIGHT SIDE being the unifying side, I will leave you to ponder over the SYMBOLISMS of RIGHTeousness.

    They could be wrong for all you know and don't be so certain without witnessing and verifying. Giving me a link to better understand the processes of the Mind doesn't make it absolute for it says.

    There is no compulsion. You can stusythis further, or you can reject, only you will reap your own effects.

    So I guess when someone on the forum ends thier post with "any thoughts" nothing happens?

    When one cannot debate sensibly, they bring about questions as above. Whether you start or end your post in whatever manner, it is WRITTEN.

    What are words but thoughts clothed in symbols? Don't you think before you write? WHat would you do if someone asked you to write your thoughts down sister? What would that look like?

    Unless I or others sees and reads your post (s), then yes, nothing happens and your thoughts will be floating in space (a time tunnel) until someone picks it up or never.

    What?? And you just got finished rejecting the right left brain process and are gonna feed me something about my thoughts floating in space tunnel? Good grief.

    Imagine a sun shining on a frog, do you see it? Well that was in my mind, now its in yours.

    Not quite and not as simple as said. There are a zillion scenarios as to how you see it and how I see it, which brings us and everyone else to question and debate.

    It wasn't the best example, but you get the point.

    Quote
    Lastly, where do your thoughts come from?
    Where does that song come from that you find yourself humming without initiating it yourself?

    Which song, what humming? Where did this come from? Ah, deep space, eh?

    I guess you are not like everyone else. At least be honest.

    Quote
    You have to sit down and really try to focus on these processes before you start rejecting for no reason.

    You have to stand up and make sure you don't enforce your preconceived and imaginary wishy washy rules upon others without studying the Quran. Most importantly, proper nouns (names and titles) remain, regardless of what meanings you bring about.

    For example, Matrix is name/title given to a movie. The word carries other meanings but the fact that its a title, remains unchanged, hence its called Matrix and nothing else. The same applies to Quran and you or anyone else cannot change that to suit your fancy meanings.

    The word "quran" is to this message the same way the word "movie" is to the Matrix, a descriptive word. We don't go around calling the Movie Matrix "Movie".

      Peace Idolfree,

      Thanks for your thoughts. I am starting to understand your perspective, but have yet to fully digest it. Interestingly, as I was reading your post, the idea of a flow chart came to mind. "Seeing" your perspective might be easier to absorb, if you're up to it.

      Gotta get back to work, but I'll respond more succinctly, Inshallah, later tonight.

      May peace be upon you,
      Tay

        Peace Kyle,

        Okay, well while you wait for scientist to confirm things for you, I will use the information that has been with us since the ancient times. With the RIGHT SIDE being the unifying side, I will leave you to ponder over the SYMBOLISMS of RIGHTeousness.

        The name/title of Quran has been with us since ancient times as well, ponder that if you will. Likewise, there has been zillions of names/titles descended through ancient times and will remain with us. On another note, by your RIGHT SIDE example, the LEFT SIDE can also be a unifying side, but that doesn't mean that all LEFT SIDED are LEFTeousness or the LEFT HANDED people are not righteous. Your theory doesn't hold any water and sounds illogical.

        They could be wrong for all you know and don't be so certain without witnessing and verifying. Giving me a link to better understand the processes of the Mind doesn't make it absolute for it says.

        There is no compulsion. You can stusythis further, or you can reject, only you will reap your own effects.

        Just reading and studying links is one thing, understanding, verifying and/or witnessing is another.

        So I guess when someone on the forum ends thier post with "any thoughts" nothing happens?

        Before you start venturing out calling me sister, make sure your thoughts work right. No one is arguing about thinking before writing. You love to venture off by missing the action and that has been your tactics.

        Unless I or others sees and reads your post (s), then yes, nothing happens and your thoughts will be floating in space (a time tunnel) until someone picks it up or never.

        Totally misunderstood. Like I said, you venture off too much. This shows that you sometimes write without understanding/thinking.

        No two people are similar and where's the dishonesty? Again, you venture out to inject baseless notions.

        Cleverly put yet dodging the issues. Quran is a "BOOK", just like Matrix is a 'MOVIE". Agreed that people don't go about calling Movie Matrix "Movie" and the same goes for the Quran, as people don't go about calling the Book Quran "Book". Are you understanding the similarity? The Quran may have several meainings (such as the message, reading, revelation, scripture, etc.) and Matrix has several meanings as well. Both the QURAN and the MATRIX are names/titles given to a book and a movie respectively and both send out messages. There is NO WAY to dodge around this simple yet obvious fact, regardless of what your preconceived thoughts bring about and your efforts to dis-title them.

        Wonder what Kyle means?

          Yes, I am very up to it, but I just don't know how to make charts appear on this page. Can you walk me through the process? I could draw a picture (I am not a good artist) on my computer and then apply it to the post, but I need some information on how to do that.

              Do everybody (except Idolfree) agree with my understanding of what is Iblis and what are jinn (Posted Wed Dec 01, 2004 716 pm )?

              The word jinn is derived from janna, meaning he covered or concealed or hid or protected.
              That's why the jinn are the the leaders ; they are the protectors of the ins (ordinary people). And, on the judgement day, the ins think the jinn will hide/cover (intercede in favour of) them.

              Peace

                  Peace Kyle,

                  Just draw a .jpeg using mspaint, sign up for free picture hosting at www.villagephotos.com, and upload as described. Then send me the link to your picture.

                  I know there's a way to host a pic and link to it using the "Img" button, so that the pic will appear in the body of the text, but I'm not sure how to do it.

                  Peace,
                  Tay

                      Salut JM,

                      Peace

                      I cannot answer your question because I did not follow the whole debate about this subject.

                      I have a question for you, Does the word "alnnas / Insan / Ins" include all people or a categorry of people in the light of the quran?

                      1. O people, serve your Lord who has created you and those before you that you may be righteous.
                        Ya ayyuha alnnasu oAAbudoo rabbakumu allathee khalaqakum waallatheenamin qablikum laAAallakum tattaqoona

                      2. And if you cannot do this; and you will not be able to do this; then beware the Fire whose fuel is people and stones, it has been prepared for the rejecters.
                        Fa-in lam tafAAaloo walan tafAAaloo faittaqooalnnara allatee waqooduha alnnasu waalhijaratu oAAiddat lilkafireena

                      see also 2143, 165-168

                      I looked for their occurences

                      There is 207 items for the word alnnas / unas which is translated as people
                      There is 78 items for al-insanu / al-ins translated as human

                      285 items for alnnas/al-insanu /al-ins / unas which have the same root and 37 items for the word ?jinn / jannun?

                      Thanks

                      Marie

                          That should do the trick.

                            Peace be upon you Tay,

                            I brought it back up as Jpeg, then hit "save as" and saved it as jpeg, still did not work. Any suggestions? Its really not big at all, a few lines, not much filled in.

                            I think I will try to take a picture of my screen with a dig camera and see how that works. That won't be until tommorrow though , unless the God wills.

                              Salaams JM,
                              Good of you to share your views on this ,and i am sure others might agree with you , with more research on their part.

                              I had missed reading this before.

                              Salaam, and Thanks.

                                Salaam,

                                Maybe not but maybe two distinctive behaviours...
                                ...
                                Personally, these quite possibly don't reflect specific people or beings, but rather a person who exhibits these behaviour patterns. Hence, it would make sense when the Quran says that our rebellious side is with us from birth, and it is down to us to control it by submiting to the deen.

                                I came to the conclusion that attributing something evil to someone other than themselves is a particular human characteristic, and it appears the truth really could hurt, it appears we could have been deluded by blaming a mythical being/beings for our own shortcomings.

                                A few thoughts...

                                Peace Ash Shuura

                                Nice post. I am in agreeance with you as well.

                                I believe it is openly stated that we are the satan/devil/ibiis.

                                O you who believe do not take protection from any besides yourselves; they will only disrupt you greatly. They wish that you suffer; the hatred appears from their mouths and what their chests hide is greater! We have made clear for you the signs if you comprehend. (311

                                And if the devil harms you in any way, then seek refuge with God. He is the Hearer, the Knower. (7200)

                                pz
