      Salam jhonsonmustafa,

      I believe you are reading the ayat out of its context and its true meaning.

      RED Can you please explain verse 7750?

      This is the Day of Judgement
      We will have assembled you and the former peoples
      So if you have a plan, then plan against Me
      Woe, that Day, to the deniers
      Indeed, the righteous will be among shades and springs
      And fruits from whatever they desire
      , "Eat and drink in satisfaction for what you used to do"
      Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.
      Woe, that Day, to the deniers
      , eat and enjoy yourselves a little
      indeed, you are criminals
      Woe, that Day, to the deniers
      And when it is said to them, "Bow," (ir'ka) they do not bow
      Woe, that Day, to the deniers
      Then in what statement after the Qur'an will they believe? <- relating to those who deny the
      (7738-50) Day of Judgement? Doing good?

      ir'ka
      = Ra-Kaf-Ayn = bowed, bent, incline, humility, humble yourself, lower the head, fell upon his face, stumbled.

      And I don't understand why are referring to 22.

      This is the Book about which there is no doubt
      a guidance for those conscious of Allah
      (22)

      Where did Allah say it is shirk to follow what is justly balance?

      Where did Allah command us to reject signs not in the Qur'an?

      The risk of reading ayat out of its true meaning or context..

      Do you covet
      that they would believe for you
      while a party of them used to hear the words of Allah
      and then distort the Torah after they had understood it
      while they were knowing?
      (275)

      Peace brother.

        "Setting up partners" is not exclusive to the act of "creation". It's the setting up of partners of ANY kind including partners in source of guidance.

        Hadith should be treated like any essay or article here on free-minds. Otherwise, you're risking setting up partners with God.

          Salam nonplus,

          I know and I'm rejecting unjust hadith (refer here).

          However, Allah prohibits us to deny what justly balanced (for example, 7738-50 above).

          To reject what is justly balanced on sectarian basis, is no difference than to be a sectarian itself.

          It is a religion of Islam, and not a deen of Islam.

          Therefore, can you give me an ayat that Allah prohibit us to follow what is justly balanced?

          Can you give me an ayat where Allah command us to reject signs not in the Qur'an?

          Peace brother.

            What does the Qur'an teach?
            ...
            From the above, we can see that the Qur'an teaches us how to balance and achieve justice ..

            Some inconsistent ayats for the religious peoples.

            And who believe in what has been revealed to you
            and what was revealed before you
            and of the Hereafter they are certain
            (22)

            So is one who upon a clear evidence from his Lord?
            And a witness from Him follows it
            and before it was the Scripture of Moses to lead and as mercy
            Those
            believe in the Qur'an <- Condition to be regarded as a believer of the Qur'an
            (1718)

            Then woe to those
            who write the Book with their own hands <- much like the hadith itself
            and then say
            "This is from God"
            to traffic with it for a miserable price!
            Woe to them for what their hands do write
            and for the gain they make thereby
            (279

            Follow or not to follow?

            And before it was the scripture of Moses to lead
            and as a mercy
            And this is a confirming Book <- What is a confirming book? Its functions/implications?
            in an Arabic tongue
            to warn those who have wronged
            and as good tidings to the doers of good
            (4612)

            And We have revealed to you
            the Book in truth
            confirming that which preceded it of the Scripture
            and as a criterion over it <- How do these "Criterion Systems" works? Reject them all together?
            So judge between them by what Allah has revealed <- Allah says "judge", evaluate, not rejects.
            and do not follow their inclinations away from what has come to you of the truth
            To each of you We prescribed a law and a method <- Other rules are also from Allah? Good? Bad?
            Had Allah willed, He would have made you one nation <- Allah refers to "nation"
            but to test you in what He has given you <- What is the test from Allah? Rejection?
            so race to good <- Allah considers there is good from another book or sect etc.?
            To Allah is your return all together
            and He will inform you concerning that over which you used to differ <- Who'll inform? You?
            (548) What is our mission?

              hadith != "signs not in the Qur'an"

              Furthermore, you seem to attach context to many things and somehow make it not apply to you.

              When God asks, rhetorically, "which hadith do you believe in?" It applies to any and everyone, not just the "non believers of judgement day". How quickly you limited the scope of that!

              Anyway, I get that I'm new here and this seems to be your thread so I'll refrain from commenting further.

                Why can't you answer my simple questions and relying on the fallacy of generalization to make your points?
                Do you have ayats to support your conclusion?
                Do you really believe in the Qur'an or it is just your assumption?

                Furthermore, you seem to attach context to many things and somehow make it not apply to you.

                The difference is between the context what is justly balanced and what is not. You are referring to something that might have the element of justly balanced as unjust. You generalized the issue, as what religious people do, a sectarian. Therefore, you need to give me an authority for your conclusion, an ayat from the Qur'an.

                hadith != "signs not in the Qur'an"

                Have you ever read all the hadith, what is its story?

                Is it all unjust and not related to the signs in the Qur'an? (refer here)

                Prove it! That everything in a hadith is unjust, and your ibada (salat, fast, zakah, sadaqah, marriage, hajj and even the Qur'an translation etc) is free from any reference to the hadith.

                It sounds silly and ridiculous, right?

                When God asks, rhetorically, "which hadith do you believe in?" It applies to any and everyone, not just the "non believers of judgement day". How quickly you limited the scope of that!

                I already give you my reason and show how one can distort Allah's words to fit their religious purpose.

                Do you have ayats to counter my conclusion?

                The risk of reading ayat out of its true meaning or context..

                Do you covet
                that they would believe for you

                while they were knowing?
                (275)

                Rather, they have denied that which they encompass not in knowledge
                and whose interpretation has not yet come to them
                Thus did those before them deny
                Then observe how was the end of the wrongdoers
                (1039)

                  I believe Islam isn't a religion, but a submission to God. Thus, many people may be muslims without ''knowing it''. )

                    Salam Maha,

                    There is some truth in it and many not among the Muslim might be the Believers, and no one knows Allah's plan; Allah said, "Indeed, I know that which you do not know." (230).

                    Expect the unexpected. )

                    For Muslim, we just need to focus on our mission .. obedience and human unity.

                    To each of you We prescribed a law and a method <- Other rules are also from Allah? Good? Bad?
                    Had Allah willed, He would have made you one nation <- Allah refers to "nation"

                      leave alone 7750 what about 22. When Allah says this is the Book, Then all the books right from schools to rocket science including hadith belongs to dust bin in front of Allah.

                      Allah says "Can you bring 10 Chapters like this?. All the men and Jinn put together". I dont remeber the Ayath No.

                          Allah says "Can you bring 10 Chapters like this?. All the men and Jinn put together". I dont remeber the Ayath No.

                          Salam jhonsonmustafa,

                          leave alone 7750

                          Okay.

                          what about 22. When Allah says this is the Book, Then all the books right from schools to rocket science including hadith belongs to dust bin in front of Allah.

                          Allah says "Can you bring 10 Chapters like this?. All the men and Jinn put together". I dont remeber the Ayath No.

                          I already asked you this question.

                          What about 22?

                          What's it got to do with Allah prohibit us to follow what is justly balanced to humanity?

                          And I don't understand why are referring to 22.

                          This is the Book about which there is no doubt
                          a guidance for those conscious of Allah
                          (22)

                          Where did Allah say it is shirk to follow what is justly balance?

                          Where did Allah command us to reject signs not in the Qur'an?

                          Religion of Islam vs. Deen of Islam

                          Allah prohibits us to deny what justly balanced (for example, 7738-50 above).

                          To reject what is justly balanced on sectarian basis, is no difference than to be a sectarian itself.

                          It is a religion of Islam, and not a deen of Islam.

                          The difference is between the context what is justly balanced and what is not. You are referring to something that might have the element of justly balanced as unjust. You generalized the issue, as what religious people do, a sectarian. Therefore, you need to give me an authority for your conclusion, an ayat from the Qur'an.

                          Please look at the actual content..

                          The real issue is whether it is justly balanced to humanity?

                          and this is the Deen of Islam.

                          Do not generalize (fallacy of generalization) and view the matter on a sectarian's perspective.. Quranism, Sunni, Shia, Hadither, Wahhabbism, Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism etc. This is religious perspective, a religion.

                          It doesn't matter if you label yourself as Quranism or Qur'an Alone or whatever it is.

                          It is still a sectarian, a religion.

                          It is not the Deen of Islam.

                          Peace brother.

                            Peace brother,

                            Islam is not a religion. It is a way of life.

                              If it is so, then don't just say it. Live Islam as your way of life, and not as a religion.

                              Don't make it as a religion and opposing or against what is justly balanced to humanity (reality), whatever their religion or "label" (illusion).

                              Decide from the perspective of justly balanced to humanity (descendants of Adam), and not on the basis of any sectarian's perspective or fallacy of generalization (religion).

                              Peace.

                                Hasty generalization

                                Hadith/Sunna/Shia/Christian/Buddha etc is true for A (unjust).
                                Hadith/Sunna/Shia/Christian/Buddha etc is true for B (unjust).
                                Hadith/Sunna/Shia/Christian/Buddha etc is true for C (unjust).
                                Hadith/Sunna/Shia/Christian/Buddha etc is true for D (unjust).

                                Therefore...

                                Hadith/Sunna/Shia/Christian/Buddha etc is true for
                                E (way of life - deen)
                                F (way of life - deen)
                                G (way of life - deen), etc.

                                and..

                                What about that is justly balanced in the Hadith/Sunna/Shia/Christian/Buddha etc ?

                                Should we oppose or against these elements?

                                In certain aspects, we are also no difference to them.

                                This is religion, and not the Deen of Islam (way of life - justly balanced).

                                    That is not related to our issue (another fallacy), and I hope it does not mean we should oppose or against what is justly balanced to the humanity on a sectarian's perspective or fallacy of generalization (religion).

                                    Peace.

                                      Allah said...

                                      And who believe in what has been revealed to you
                                      and what was revealed before you
                                      and of the Hereafter they are certain
                                      (22)

                                      and, why Prophet Muhammad was not a Jew or Christian?

                                      It is the religion relating to the Books of Allah, and the Books which are confirmed by the Qur'an.

                                      Ibrahim was not a Jew <- Ibrahim has no religion. So as Muhammad, not a Jew/Christian (religion).
                                      nor a Christian http//api.ning.com/files/uGCxg7sZSOsBbNwvSUN0m6uFBP5OUvR7e-3lYPcnfzzdki1NKdfBKi*MBEzKhhqFLbCaNgzbOCTwHTwBFp0cz3nyqUP-l7F1/arrowDownSmall.png
                                      but he was (an) upright (man) <- showing a great concern for what is right, fair and truthful way
                                      a Muslim <- defined by the above ayat - an upright man - obedience and justly balanced.
                                      and he was not one of the polytheists <- Concern with right/wrong in religious matters - 3030-32

                                      Most surely the nearest of people to Ibrahim
                                      are those
                                      who followed him
                                      and this Prophet
                                      and those who believe
                                      and Allah is the guardian of the believers
                                      (367-68)

                                      And whoever seeks a "dnan" (&#1575 other than Islam
                                      it will NEVER be accepted of him
                                      and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers
                                      (<a href="http//corpus.quran.com/wordbyword.jsp?chapter=3&verse=85">385</a&gt

                                        Salam Maha,

                                        There is some truth in it and many not among the Muslim might be the Believers, and no one knows Allah's plan; Allah said, "Indeed, I know that which you do not know." (230).

                                        Expect the unexpected.

                                        For Muslim, we just need to focus on our mission .. obedience and human unity.

                                        Peace.

                                        We agree 100%. handshake

                                          This begs the question What is islam..

                                          And no - it is not a RELIGION. All religions are MAN MADE.
