    Salam drfazl

    Firstly,

    Sorry, wrong guessing and your belief are inconsistent with the Qur'an. Your ideology is the same ideology of Sunni and Shiah religions, promoting hate, wars and hatred in the humanity and family institutions. Whereas the Qur'an clearly states....

    And We have enjoined upon man
    for his parents
    His mother carried him
    in weakness upon weakness
    and his weaning is in two years
    Be grateful to Me and to your parents <- be grateful to your parents (refer here)
    to Me is the destination.
    But if they endeavor to make you associate with Me
    that of which you have no knowledge
    do not obey them
    but accompany them in (this) world <- stay and don't give up your relationship with them
    with appropriate kindness <- be kind as of a child to his parent (refer here), not make enemy
    and follow the way of those who turn back to Me
    Then to Me will be your return
    and I will inform you about what you used to do
    (3114-15)

    Secondly,

    Again, sorry.. you are misquoting the words of Allah and distorted its true meaning to support your conclusion. All the ayats you are referring to is relates to the circumstances during the Jihad (war) and Muslim being extremely oppressed. The same right is given to the non-believers, and Allah will help the non-believers if they are oppressed by the Muslim (refer here).

    The ones who have believed <- Situation of extreme oppression;
    emigrated and striven in the cause of Allah <- eg. 285, 2191, 2217, 2191, 2246
    with their wealth
    and their lives
    are greater in rank in the sight of Allah
    And it is those who are the attainers
    Their Lord gives them good tidings of mercy from Him
    and approval
    and of gardens for them wherein is enduring pleasure
    abiding therein forever
    Indeed, Allah has with Him a great reward
    O you who have believed
    do not take your fathers
    or your brothers as allies
    if they have preferred disbelief over belief
    And whoever does so among you
    then it is those who are the wrongdoers
    Say, "If your fathers <- the ayat you are relying for your argument
    your sons
    your brothers
    your wives
    your relatives
    wealth which you have obtained
    commerce wherein you fear decline
    and dwellings with which you are pleased
    are more beloved to you than Allah and His Messenger
    and jihad in His cause
    then wait until Allah executes His command
    And Allah does not guide the defiantly disobedient people"
    Allah has already given you victory in many regions <- wars
    and on the day of Hunayn
    when your great number pleased you<- wars
    but it did not avail you at all
    and the earth was confining for you with its vastness
    then you turned back, fleeing
    Then Allah sent down His tranquillity upon His Messenger
    and upon the believers
    and sent down soldiers angels <- wars
    whom you did not see
    and punished those who disbelieved
    And that is the recompense of the disbelievers
    Then Allah will accept repentance
    after that for whom He wills
    and Allah is Forgiving and Merciful
    (920-27)

    They took their oaths as a cover <- the jews and the munafiqoon making allies
    so they averted from the way of Allah
    and for them is a humiliating punishment
    Never will their wealth or their children
    avail them against Allah at all
    Those are the companions of the Fire
    they will abide therein eternally
    On the Day Allah will resurrect them all
    and they will swear to Him
    as they swear to you
    and think that they are on something
    Unquestionably, it is they who are the liars
    Satan has overcome them
    and made them forget the remembrance of Allah
    Those are the party of Satan
    Unquestionably, the party of Satan
    they will be the losers
    Indeed, the ones who oppose Allah and His Messenger <- during oppression and wars
    those will be among the most humbled
    Allah has written, "I will surely overcome, I and My messengers" <- during oppression and wars
    Indeed, Allah is Powerful and Exalted in Might
    You will not find a people who believe in Allah and the Last Day <- the ayat you are relying for your argument
    having affection for those who oppose Allah and His Messenger
    even if they were their fathers
    or their sons
    or their brothers
    or their kindred
    Those - He has decreed within their hearts faith
    and supported them with spirit from Him
    And We will admit them to gardens beneath which rivers flow
    wherein they abide eternally
    Allah is pleased with them
    and they are pleased with Him
    those are the party of Allah
    Unquestionably, the party of Allah - they are the successful
    (5816-22)

    Why are you repeatedly and keep on distorting the words of Allah?

    Why do you hate the non-believers based on sectarianism?

    Because of wars? Revenge? Economy and Poverty?

    Brother, can you try remove all your red insinuations into the ayats and make clean readings of the ayat? Please try it. I think without injecting into the ayat you cannot make a posting which if you do should be a readable material. Please remove them all and re-write.

    Thirdly,

    You are still rambling. Ignoring the context of the ayat and make an argument from what is pleasing for you to imagine; rather than according to evidence or reason. Wishful Thinking.

    Come to subject instead of writing things out of context to this forum, leave alone context to Quran.

    Peace

      I bring to notice the bold red word 'endeavour' which means extreme pressure on you to set up partners to Allah to the extent of even terrorising you to death.

      Salam

      Okay, I can see you have nothing else to complaint off, raising another irrelevant issues.

      But if they endeavor to make you associate with Me
      that of which you have no knowledge
      do not obey them
      but accompany them in (this) world <- stay and don't give up your relationship with them
      with appropriate kindness <- be kind as of a child to his parent (refer here), not make enemy

      (3114-15)

      Further, your argument relating to endeavor is now supporting my argument that Muslims should not give up and keep their duty to the non-believers (parents), and since Allah continues by saying "but accompany them in (this) world with appropriate kindness". The best part is that you have extended further my arguments; ie......

      Muslims should accompany their non-believers parents and treats them with appropriate kindness (duty of a son to his parents) despite "extreme pressure on you to set up partners to Allah to the extent of even terrorising you to death" (ie. your new argument).

      extreme pressure on you to set up partners to Allah to the extent of even terrorising you to death.

      Comparison with your old argument...

      I take the meaning as loving relations and sacrificial love involving my household parents, children, brothers, wife, relations far and near, if I find them blocking my way in the path of Allah and if they force me to deny and belie Allah and His guidance. I give up my relationship with them and spend my life with love sacrificed for the sake of paradise. It is not that as you incorrectly maintain, I am giving my said relations or spend relations which carries no meaning at all.

      Why you are getting confused with your own arguments? hmm

      You are making an argument without understanding what you really believe?

      Peace peace

        The Islamic clergy expends great energy trying to account for these inconsistencies and contradictions. Their answers to your common-sense observations may involve various choices of words, yet the thrust can broadly be summarised thus in order to understand the Hadith you have to be very learned. There seem to be contradictions in the Hadith to you because you are not learned. They ? the clergy ? are learned. Therefore, they do not see contradictions. When you are learned like them you, too, will not see contradictions. Until you are as learned as they you cannot contend with them on this (or any) subject. The fact that you fail to perceive any of this only testifies to your own ignorance; A Study of the Qur'an

        What is this Hadith, clergy, learned etc you are speaking about. Surely I have not brought up this subject. I think this post is wrongly directed to me. Please, is this meant for me?

        Peacev

            cont.

            and some comparisons on the pattern of arguments..

            Whereas the Qur'an says...

            It is He who has sent down to you the Book

            in it are verses precise
            they are the foundation of the Book

            and others unspecific

            As for those in whose hearts is deviation
            they will follow that of it which is unspecific
            seeking discord and seeking an interpretation

            And no one knows its interpretation except Allah

            But those firm in knowledge say
            "We believe in it. All is from our Lord."
            And no one will be reminded except those of understanding.
            (37)

            refer also 5101 and 267-71

            inconsistently...

            logically...

            Peace peace

            What are you bringing this ayat 37 for? Did I reject his ayat? Or did I request you to discuss? If you really want to discuss the ayat we shall discuss it exclusively so. But it seems you pick up ayats here and there only to put me into your red whimsical explanation that which you fancy. And before having an idea of fixing some one using a particular ayat, please remember the same explanation you bring would fit you more than fixing your opponent. Hence do not hunt for ayats; it sure shall haunt you.

            Peace

                With Quran there can never be argument if you fear Allah; and you began arguing from the word go. Instead just say your view without contradicting others' views; let as many as 8 million views pour in. You must have the criterion and patience to choose the best of them all. Such are the people who are men of understanding; and Allah conducts in righteousness only such of these people.

                Peace

                  Do you know the meaning of spam? How come you consider yourself as single, one man largest recipient group in this thread? I have bundles of issues with every posting of yours but I never contested any of them. I have posted just one post a weak ago and you said
                  You can enlighten us with your understanding or perspectives.

                  I have not made an argument here; but if it is thrust on me, I have no way except to try to make clear my view point from every angle possible. I have not passed a single comment on you, unlike you. Say your view against my view, without challenges and comments. This is the main principle to have in mind when it comes to Quran. Subdue, submit and surrender to Allah while writing your perspectives on an ayat for Allah knows best. Wait eagerly for any better input. If you find unworthy posts, all we have to do is just ignore and seek forgiveness for him and for yourself, for we have become judgemental already.

                  Peace and I stop here with you

                        No offense, but the above statement is implying an argument from your part. I am not referring to the argument of an ordinary man or what we ordinarily called as "quarreling" (which is not an argument), but from the point of Critical Thinking and Logical Analysis. A method to determine whether a conclusion is sound or unsound, a method to determine the validity of conclusions and separating the poor reasoning and fallacious arguments.

                        In logic and philosophy, an argument is an attempt to persuade someone of something, by giving reasons for accepting a particular conclusion as evident. The general structure of an argument in a natural language is that of premises (typically in the form of propositions, statements or sentences) in support of a claim the conclusion; Definition of an argument

                        A fallacy is an argument that uses poor reasoning; Fallacy

                        (example of poor reasoning, refer here, here and here)

                        The following is an ayat showing a Muslim must use reasoning and not relying on dogma or fallacious conclusions.

                        Indeed, the worst of living creatures
                        in the sight of Allah
                        are the deaf
                        and dumb
                        who do not use reason
                        (Al-Anfal22)

                        And among them are unlettered ones
                        who do not know the Scripture
                        except in wishful thinking
                        but they are only assuming
                        (278)

                        And if you obey most of those upon the earth
                        they will mislead you
                        from the way of Allah
                        They follow not
                        except assumption
                        and they are not
                        but falsifying
                        (6116)

                        And they have thereof no knowledge
                        They follow not
                        except assumption
                        and indeed
                        assumption avails not against the truth at all <- assumptions is not "Faith"
                        (5328)

                        "Condition" to be regarded as those who believe the Qur'an

                        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 <- only these peoples believe the Qur'an
                        (1117)

                              Dear brother Muslims Salaam!

                              The job done by you in this thread clearly suggests that you are very thoughtful. Your work tells its own tale about your penchant of making a great deal of mull in the skull before breaking the lull. Usually, it is seen that at such level people get inflicted with arrogance. But I have every hope that your good self will not allow this menace to even touch you from outside. May Allah bless you with more precision of mind to maintain your best of standards and bring forth even better and better.

                              Salaam!
                              Mehjabeen

                                Salam

                                Thank you and human beings have several souls existed like layers of an onion, and each stage has its challenges and diseases, which all human beings have to confront during their spiritual journey; internally, as well as externally, and something which is inescapable to all human beings, and which have to be purified by consistent action of fasting, dzikir, meditation, sadaqah, good deeds and remembrance of Allah etc. However, it is not thinking but absorbing, sorry. Thinking alone will normally make us farther away from the right path since our minds are in the same group or is influenced by our lust or low desires. It is our duty to separate our minds from the low desires, so that we are able to project the right magnetic/electrical signals to our heart; ie. the door to our souls, who have witnessed and communicated with Allah (7172), existed in ourselves as "memory". The conclusion, it's a very tough job for becoming a real human beings, and may Allah bless all of us with better understanding and help us in the performance of our duty. pr

                                And the soul and Him Who made it perfect
                                Then He inspired it
                                to understand
                                what is right
                                and wrong for it
                                He will indeed be successful who purifies it
                                And he will indeed fail who corrupts it
                                (917-10)

                                Peace peace

                                  Salaam dear brother Muslims,

                                  Without any doubt you have deep study of Al-Kitaab and you are equipped with profound knowledge by the Grace of Allah. I find you the right person who can deal with certain mind boggling queries appropriately confronting me for long arising out of various sources (not essential to spell out). Will you kindly permit me to ask the following questions?

                                  (i) Do you find resemblance of Allah's System of Governance within the Human Being? If yes, how?

                                  (ii) Do you find Prophets/Messengers and their tales mentioned in Quran within the Human Being? If yes, kindly explain.

                                  (iii) Do you find the Country named India resembles the Grand Quran? If at all yes, kindly throw light.

                                  (iv) Do you find the system of governance adopted by India (of course on paper) resembles Allah's System of Governance? True or False?

                                  (v) Do you find the Book of Allah confirms Sanskrit Scriptures considered Holy by the Hindus? True or False?

                                  (vi) Do you find Abraham = Brahma, Ismael = Mahesh, Ishaaq = Vishnu, Yaqub = Ganesha, Krishna = Moses, Ram = Mohammad etc.

                                  (vii) Do you find eating flesh of animals that survive on the Earth is unhealthy and not prescribed? True or False?

                                  I have put forth above questions just out of quest but do not expect to reject them in a haste. If at all you do not like them, kindly choose to ignore.

                                  Salaam!

                                    Salam

                                    Interesting, Abraham, Brahma, iBrahim, Sarah, Saraswati, Black Stone, Shiva Lingam, Trishula, Mizab, Baqarah, cow, companions.... There is no need to discuss issues not related to the Qur'an and we just leave it to Allah for inspiring "the understanding of right and wrong" (917-10); since He is Al-Mu'min, The Inspirer of Faith, He is Al-Hadi, The One whom with His Guidance His believers were guided, and with His Guidance the living beings have been guided to what is beneficial for them and protected from what is harmful to them, we are not. We are servants and can only discuss from what is precise from the Qur'an.

                                    And when Abraham said
                                    "My Lord, show me how You give life to the dead."
                                    said, "Have you not believed?"
                                    He said, "Yes, but (I ask) only that my heart may be satisfied."
                                    said, "Take four birds and commit them to yourself.
                                    Then (after slaughtering them) put on each hill a portion of them
                                    then call them - they will come (flying) to you in haste
                                    And know that Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise."
                                    (2260)

                                    And you become three kinds

                                    Then the companions of the right
                                    what are the companions of the right?

                                    And the companions of the left
                                    what are the companions of the left?

                                    And the forerunners, the forerunners
                                    Those are the ones brought near
                                    A company of the former peoples
                                    And a few of the later peoples

                                    (567-14)

                                    certain mind boggling queries appropriately confronting me for long arising out of various sources (not essential to spell out)

                                    For the sake of testing ourselves and to realize the gods and ulamas inside ourselves, try to stop eating, drinking and sleeping for 3 straight days (72 hours). Are we able to achieve this target or we are still hypocrites? This is not suggested by the Qur'an, and only a simple self-test to prove the existence of gods and ulamas inside ourselves. A simple test to realize the flow of ideas within ourselves and how far we are able to control these ideas.

                                    Do the people think
                                    that they will be left to say,
                                    "We believe"
                                    and they will not be tried?

                                    But We have certainly tried those before them
                                    and Allah will surely make evident
                                    those who are truthful
                                    and He will surely make evident
                                    the liars

                                    Or do those who do evil deeds think they can outrun Us?
                                    Evil is what they judge
                                    (<a href="http//quran.com/29/2-4">292-4</a&gt

                                      Dear brother Muslims Salaam!

                                      (i) How do you know what the Quran is?
                                      (ii) How do you know Quran teaches what?
                                      (iii) How can you say Quran explains only this and not that?

                                      You have chosen to reject the quest in a haste probably in arrogance of having deep study or having much knowledge or for the reasons best known to you. No wonder! This is what most of the humans are. No more deliberations then, May Allah bless.

                                      Salaam!

                                        Salam

                                        (i) How do you know what the Quran is?

                                        Indeed, IT IS A NOBLE QURAN
                                        In a protected Book
                                        None can grasp it
                                        except those purified (from shirk)
                                        (5677-79)

                                        (ii) How do you know Quran teaches what?

                                        It is He who has sent down to you, the Book
                                        in it are verses precise
                                        they are the foundation of the Book

                                        and others unspecific
                                        As for those in whose hearts is deviation
                                        they will follow that of it which is unspecific
                                        seeking discord and seeking an interpretation
                                        And no one knows its interpretation except Allah

                                        But those firm in knowledge say
                                        "We believe in it. All is from our Lord."
                                        And no one will be reminded except those of understanding
                                        (37)

                                        (iii) How can you say Quran explains only this and not that?

                                        O you who have believed
                                        DO NOT ask about things which
                                        if they are shown to you
                                        will distress you
                                        But if you ask about them while the Qur'an is being revealed
                                        they will be shown to you
                                        Allah has pardoned that which is past
                                        and Allah is Forgiving and Forbearing
                                        (5101)

                                        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)

                                        Allah is the light of the heavens and the earth
                                        a likeness of His light is as a niche in which is a lamp
                                        the lamp is in a glass
                                        (and) the glass is as it were a brightly shining star
                                        lit from a blessed olive-tree
                                        neither eastern nor western
                                        the oil whereof almost gives light though fire touch it not
                                        light upon light
                                        Allah guides to His light whom He pleases
                                        and Allah sets forth parables for men
                                        and Allah is Cognizant of all things
                                        (2435)

                                        He grants wisdom to whom He pleases
                                        and whoever is granted wisdom
                                        he indeed is given a great good
                                        and none but men of understanding mind
                                        (2269)

                                        Peace peace

                                          And when Abraham said
                                          "My Lord, show me how You give life to the dead."

                                          I wonder why Abraham asked how Allah give life "TO THE DEAD" (l-mawt&#257 ?

                                          How many peoples had Abraham witnessed rising from the dead? hmm

                                          Can Prophets rise from the dead or they are absolutely prohibited?

                                          (men with nine lives and nine tombstones (2), and during 1300++ (refer here), not sure whether it is true or forged, "Earthdom" might know the full story since it is in Surabaya, Indonesia)

                                          Or as the one who passed by a township
                                          which had fallen into ruin
                                          He said, "How will Allah bring this to life after its death?"
                                          So Allah caused him to die for a hundred years
                                          then He revived him
                                          He said, "How long have you remained?"
                                          The man said, "I have remained a day or part of a day."
                                          He said, "Rather, you have remained one hundred years
                                          Look at your food and your drink
                                          it has not changed with time
                                          And look at your donkey
                                          and We will make you a sign for the people
                                          And look at the bones
                                          how We raise them and then We cover them with flesh"
                                          And when it became clear to him, he said
                                          "I know that Allah is over all things competent."
                                          (2259)
                                          refer to (349) (272-73) (3050)

                                          The issue is there any other ayats in the Qur'an can further elaborate this precise situations?

                                          Is this still happening, or it will never happen after the Qur'an has been completed?

                                          Peace peace
