      peace

      Peace SC.
      Thanks again, and will try to the best of my ability, God Willing.

      Just to share
      2172 O believers, eat of the good things wherewith We have provided you, and give thanks to God, if it be Him that you serve.

      As believers we are to discover and share all the knowledge of Allah?s creations pertaining to food and provisions and the balanced diet formula. We should be observing our daily food consumption in order for us and our dependants to stay healthy, by feeding our cells the right stuff for its well being in accordance to the ayats of Allah (knowledge) and His Laws (sunnatullah).

      Eat with His name, the good stuff and be thankful to Him so that we are always in a state of God consciousness at all levels at all times.

      I wish to paste again the wonderful ayats of Allah that you have delivered earlier in your post.
      2678 "The One who has created me, He will guide me."
      2679 "And He is the One who feeds me and gives me to drink."
      2680 "And if I am sick, He is the One who cures me."
      2681 "And the One who will make me die and then bring me to life."
      2682 "And the One whom I hope will forgive my mistakes on the Day of Judgment."

      Let us recite this together as one family of believers
      23109 Our Lord, we believe, therefore forgive us, and have mercy on us.

      Zone.

        Peace drfazl

        What I have posted regarding intercession is my current understanding, and I don't know if is going to change in the future (Allah knows best). Maybe there will be other intercessors from the true believers, but only on judgement day (God knows best). To be honest, I had never thought about intercession before this tread, except to reject saint/idol worship. Since I became a believer, I understood that my relationship with My Creator is one to one, and with no intermediary. Also, all my effort is in achieving heaven by my own, and not expecting anybody to intercede for me before God.

        2186 AND IF My servants ask thee about Me - behold, I am near; I respond to the call of him who calls, whenever he calls unto Me let them, then, respond unto Me, and believe in Me, so that they might follow the right way.
        I someone ask you about God, just tell him/her that God is near and that He answers to those who call, and that you cannot call for him/her, for his/her call shall be a straight talk to the All Hearing.

        5016 NOW, VERILY, it is We who have created man, and We know what his innermost self whispers within him for We are closer to him than his neck-vein.
        Who is easier to call, somebody on the phone, or God the Most Merciful the All Hearing?

        may God bless us with some wisdom.

          Peace Good Doctor,

          while I do not subcribe to
          faith healing as such, I make dua'a for all my needs including health. Having
          said that, I am a strong believer in science as a tool and that would include
          medical science as well. My granddaughter is alive today because of the
          advances in medicine. I will sum up this segment by using the "fire" analogy
          to medicine "Fire is helpful, but can also be harmful".

          God Bless

          peace

          Peace.

          Some, as an example, someone close to me, got a cancer, a benign type.

          So, she has to look for a problem solver. Whether the conventional or the alternative. She went through both methods. Her parents believe in the alternative method. She had seizures almost everyday. Then I took her to seek an advice from a medical practitioner, he scanned, and suggested a surgery with fifty-fifty chance of success. Finally, she went into the surgical room and had the operation to remove the egg size tumor in the brain and she survived to date (after 20 years).

          I believe that all phenomena are created in truth by Allah, the Creator. His creations are everywhere, around us and within us. We are descendants of scientists.

          Peace hawk99, zone and to All

          2680 We All believe that When we are ill, HE is the one who cures us.

          12106 And most of us do not believe Allah without associating partners.

          10100 It is not for any person to BELIEVE, except by the leave of Allah,

          and HE will place doubt who will not reason.

          3163 They are in varying grades with Allah, and Allah sees what they do.

          Thus, one would believe that when Iam ill HE cures me through

          a. Modern Medicine -

          Doctor of Medicine, Specialised Doctors, Surgeon, Specialised Surgeons ..,

          b. Siddha

          c. Ayurvedha

          d.Homeopathy

          e. Naturopathy

          f. Pranic Healing, Reiki etc..,

          g. Acupuncture and so on..,

          And when all the above system fails ALLAH ALONE- BELIEF HEALING Triumphs.

          So there are varying grades to the degree we associate with Allah, we choose

          Modern Medicine which is born out of war, from our utter hastiness , wherein

          butchering organs is order of the day. Depending upon one's sincerity

          in their prayer , reasoning increases as their patience increases day by day and

          ultimately one day they would realise that Allah Alone would be sufficient,

          not only for health but for all needs.

          3179 Allah would not leave us in the present state, until he separates evil from

          good, nor will HE disclose the unseen. If you believe and fear Allah Alone,

          then there is a great reward without measure.

          8419 You shall surely experience from one stage to other.

          Depending upon one's belief one would experience better or worse

          for the days to come.

          As regards to the person who believe that surgery has saved their life ,

          the quality of life they lead is pitiable.

          The above said is from my own experience from within and around me,

          and for people who look for evidence and proof,

          1096 For you it is your way, me it is mine.

          Regards

            In words attributed to Jesus in the Gospel of Thomas says (56) Jesus said He who has known the world has found a corpse; and he who has found a corpse, the world is not worthy of him.

            So if a true believer has found the corpse, why will he want to remain with it when his time comes, either by accident or disease?. When the time comes, a true believer shall be happy that he is going to meet his Lord the Most Merciful. Oh, I really hope my lord purifies my heart and I get to that stage before my time comes.

            May God bless us with some wisdom.

                I sincerely hope not. The site needs more people like you to counter & dilute the influence of the fraudsters and quacks. I mean what a bigger hypocrite than calling ones self a dr and then stating doctors are evil. These type need exposing and not to be left unchallenged to spread their nonsense. Unfortunately many believe their lies often with deadly consequences.

                This website has become a medium for crusaders, saviors, messengers and such. I don't believe we have had a prophet - not yet. It has become not a place to discuss and share but for persons to minister bringing along their followers.

                There is no way I would tell my friends or family that I am a member of this forum or invite anyone to check this website. I know what my friends and family would say questioning my sanity and why I am wasting my time with characters like drfazl.

                As I am reading posts from years ago, many persons who contributed much seemed to have left or not active. I have gotten so much and this is a place where I have frequented during some lonely difficult times. And so, stillearning, my feelings are mixed as there is a part of me that wants to leave this site completely.

                God says clearly there will always be persons like drfazl and the like. There are those who will use God's words to serve their purposes or positions. From reading the Koran, we know that satan's intent is to lead people astray. What best way to do that than using God's words. Satan has already mislead the vast majority of the Muslims with the hadith and it is only expected that satan will find more clever ways of misleading those who rejected hadiths with God's words. And those who listen to such nonsense not using their sense are responsible for their actions.

                I have been asked by Sunnis if I belong to a cult and these same persons if they read this nonsense absurd claims and posts by drfazl would surely think God alone people are crazy. I know what my impression would have been if I read such absurdity years ago when I came to this website. And those who are lurking and seeking to learn about Islam based on Quran alone, I sure would hate for them to think that members here are all "wacko".

                And so for now, stillearning, will stick around here much to satans disappointment.

                    Peace newmoon.

                    I have my own personal encounter with ?faith healers,? following people to see those people. From my experience, there are several categories of them

                    1. Those who said they can see jinns, good ones and bad ones, and how the bad ones disturb and disrupt our bio-chemistry-physical systems and I have seen them performing the challenge and fight with those beings
                    2. Those who can see people in other zones/places from their house
                    3. Those who can cure people from their ?prayers=duas? by either touching or from a distance
                    4. Those who can control the mind and characters of other people for approximately five months.

                    I have witnessed their ?miraculous? powers in healing, their ability to see and describe people that they have not met, healing the pains of patients, controlling people minds and behaviors, etc.
                    They did it with certain ?prayers?, chants and whispers. I didn?t hear exactly what words they muttered. When asked, most of them said they used only Quran and hadith.

                    I am Quran-only as guidance believer. I construct my worldview from ayats of Allah as my frame of reference. From this angle, my only concern and the question that lingers in my mind, is, what ?forces? are they using to be able to see and perform all those things? Are their abilities and forces coming directly from Allah or something else?

                    I have my own perspective on the matter from my own observation, experience, knowledge and worldview.

                      Peace,

                      Most of the time these people are fake. If the "patients" get well it is due to the placebo effect.

                      But on the other hand, there may be some serious practitioner, but they would be a clear minority in that case. A prayer healer can only help the patient get confidence in God, if the patient goes there with doubt in their heart the prayer will have no effect. You can of course pray for someone, but the person with the problem must have their own strong Faith in God.

                      I have no doubt though that God may send people as signs with "supernatural" abilities to heal etc, Jesus had just that, but I am sure not the guy-next-doors will get that ability, and they probably need to be very devoted servants of God.

                      God bless you

                        Salaam justamuslim,

                        I completely agree with what you said. However, I would also suggest you to remain active on the site as a newbie like me needs more and more information that actually makes sense) from a person like you to strengthen beliefs.

                        Myself, I have found many articles written by hadith lovers and by the people who are against Quran alone movement in this site. That does not mean we have to follow all of them. do we? God has sent us clear guidance and given us wisdom to choose between good and bad. We can use those to decide what to follow and what not. reading all those crap does not mean we follow them too. We only follow that actually makes sense and are according God's message.

                        Peace

                          We do not need any monitory paid intercessor between us and GOD for communication of any kind. Otherwise, it?s nothing but a fraudulent trade in which the con artist intercessor is the winner and the gullible payer is for sure the loser.

                          Peace,

                            Peace kgwithnob,

                            That is in its clarity true. They should not charge any money to begin with, if they were seriously God's servants.

                            Someone with powers like Jesus would never ask for money anyway. Regarding prayer healing, it is best to trust your own Faith than relying on intercessors like you said. To ask someone for money to pray for them is fraudulent, is it not?

                            God bless you

                              Peace.

                              Peace.

                              I seek to follow the God?s way from His guidance, the Quran in context of the Quran?s touch-time zone. That means the following are my present viewpoints

                              1. I have not found any aya of the Quran on dua to ask Allah to help heal someone. If you find one, please share. My point is, true healing and cure is Allah?s business, seeking true cure is our business. Asking help directly from Allah through dua is in accordance to His Guidance.

                              2. My view on miracle, whatever miracle (also known as aya as sign from the God) that has happened has been mentioned in the Quran, whether performed by prophets, and about whoever and whatever. In the context of the Quran?s touch-time zone, the only miracle we are witnessing is related to the Quran. If you find any aya which says about other miracles about anything other than the Quran we can witness in this Quran?s touch-time zone, please share.

                              3. Supernatural stuff performed by people to affect the lives of other people in this Quran?s touch-time zone is possible, only as a trial, for those who choose to seek help from those things (magical knowledge) brought down by malayka in the history of mankind with the permission of Allah as mentioned in the Quran. In the present life, one can actually get the powers and abilities if they seek those things.

                              4. My point is we need only Allah directly for help and protection through dua (all the pertinent and relevant ones to be said for the sake of our goodness (hasanah) in this life and the next can be obtained from the Quran).

                              To Allah I seek refuge from the whisperers of syaithan.

                              Zone.

                                It has become not a place to discuss and share but for persons to minister bringing along their followers.

                                The very reason why people like you need to stick around

                                As I am reading posts from years ago, many persons who contributed much seemed to have left or not active. I have gotten so much and this is a place where I have frequented during some lonely difficult times. And so, stillearning, my feelings are mixed as there is a part of me that wants to leave this site completely.

                                Exactly the reason why I was attracted to this site many yrs ago. Unfortunately for me time is in short supply & also sad to see many of Quran believers leave this site.

                                God says clearly there will always be persons like drfazl and the like. There are those who will use God's words to serve their purposes or positions. From reading the Koran, we know that satan's intent is to lead people astray. What best way to do that than using God's words. Satan has already mislead the vast majority of the Muslims with the hadith and it is only expected that satan will find more clever ways of misleading those who rejected hadiths with God's words. And those who listen to such nonsense not using their sense are responsible for their actions.

                                I am afraid I have no polite word other than fraudsters (which is v polite compared to what I really think). CHARGING usd2000 & claiming to be doing God's work. Well anyone with an ounce of intelligence can make up their own mind.
                                Personally I consider it a criminal act and should be treated as such. Apart from fraudulently obtaining money, God knows how many cases of manslaughter these people are responsible a for. Sorry if I appear to be harsh. But I have seen the damage these people cause & hence the contempt.

                                And so for now, stillearning, will stick around here much to satans disappointment.

                                Cool.

                                Correct there is no aya.

                                Unfortunately I find it difficult (unlike yourself) to be polite to some the characters here

                                Regards

                                        Of course you can pray for someone, but God is the grantor of all prayers and thus the doer. Praying for someone else can even be a bonus since you think of someone other than yourself.

                                        God bless you

                                          Peace kgwithnob.

                                          Thank you for sharing those ayats.

                                          If there are any differences between us, it is because of my position on the notion that we can?t DUA TO ASK ALLAH TO HEAL SOMEONE FROM ILLNESS.

                                          Not about asking FORGIVENESS FROM ALLAH FOR YOURSELF AND YOUR BELIEVING BROTHERS AND SISTERS. Not about asking FORGIVENESS FROM ALLAH for those who come to you to become believers or to the God?s way and ask you to seek Allah?s forgiveness from them.

                                          Yes my position is clear in the sense we can ask forgiveness for ourselves and fellow believers especially when we are together in jihad for the cause of Allah and also those who come to us to repent and not to fight or against us anymore. In fact we can offer to them to ask forgiveness from Allah on their behalf should there stop fighting against us. To me the asking of forgiveness from Allah for others or on their behalf is precisely clear in context they are believers among us or they come to us to ask for forgiveness from the God, though they are actually hypocrites and only Allah knows.

                                          My words in the previous post

                                          1. I have not found any aya of the Quran on dua to ask Allah to help heal someone. If you find one, please share. My point is, true healing and cure is Allah?s business, seeking true cure is our business. Asking help directly from Allah through dua is in accordance to His Guidance.

                                          Just to highlight some of the verses
                                          7128 (Noah said) My Lord, forgive me and my parents and whoever enters my house a believer and the believing men and believing women. And do not increase the wrongdoers except in destruction."

                                          4716-19
                                          And among them are men who listen to thee, but in the end, when they go out from thee, they say to those who have received Knowledge, "What is it he said just then?" Such are men whose hearts Allah has sealed, and who follow their own lusts.

                                          But to those who receive Guidance, He increases them in Guidance, and bestows on them their Piety and Restraint.

                                          Do they then only wait for the Hour,- that it should come on them of a sudden? But already have come some tokens thereof, and when it is on them, how can they benefit then by their admonition?
                                          Know, therefore, that there is no god but Allah, and ask forgiveness for thy fault, and for the men and women who believe for Allah knows how ye move about and how ye dwell in your homes.

                                          4811 The Bedouins who were left behind will say to thee, 'We were occupied by our possessions and our families; so ask forgiveness for us!' They say with their tongues what is not in their hearts. Say 'Who can avail you aught against God, if He desires hurt for you, or desires profit for you? Nay, but God is ever aware of the things you do.
