    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

      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?

      Yes. The entire universe is praising Allah's Glory and waiting for His Command to discharge its duties to man in his favour or against. 5331 And to Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth - that He may recompense those who do evil with the penalty of what they have done and recompense those who do good with the best reward -

      When we wish for the favours from the heaven upon us in prayers, Allah commands the heavens thus upon whom He pleases and thus our wish and Allah's system of governance obeys us.

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

      Their tales involve the people and communities they lived with We have the characters in us that which is narrated as the caharacters of the community of Lut; and the evil character of Firaun we can find in most US presidents in particular and in every leader of any country in general. And then the characters of prophets we have in us too as mercy, forgiving, tolerance and so on in various degrees; of course, they are the qualities of Allah which we possess in various proportions.

      (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?

      I do not understand as to what you mean.

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

      True and false. Scripture of what language is not important; but those scriptures do have the Truths to a minimal extent as is in Quran.

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

      Abraham, Ismail, Ishaq, Yacub, Musa, Muhammad are real people chosen by Allah as messengers and prophets.
      Brahma, Mahesh, Vishnu, Ganesha, Krishna are imaginary people characterised heroes by the human story tellers.

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

      Eating flesh of non-vegetarian animals and birds with its blood totally drained is healthy and prescribed.

      Salaam!

        You have misunderstood many of his questions. For example, he is asking about the similarity of our bodies and brain cells with the universe, and whether it is the door to our "memory" or knowledge (Knowledge of the Unseen).

        And He taught Adam <- Who is Adam?
        the names
        all of them
        (231)

        He said, "Did I not tell you
        that I know the unseen
        of the heavens and the earth?
        (233)

        http//7uncle.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/braincell-universe.jpg

        and his presumptions might not fully accurate, or may also departed from the true course. The mind is not the answer, so as our body and India or Lord Shiva, and in fact the galaxy (have limits and boundaryies, actually quite small). It is only the tools and mechanisms, ie. the signs. There are things that are much larger than minds and India, unimaginable and which totally dependant on each keys.

        Thinking alone will normally make us farther away from the right path

        so that we are able to project the right magnetic/electrical signals to our heart

        ie. the ability to control waves and signals, is only the beginning... Kun Faya Kun, and which this thread is all about, Justly Balanced and Unity! The Highway!

        He will indeed be successful who purifies it <- from Shirk
        And he will indeed fail who corrupts it
        (917-10)

        Peace.

            Peace all.

            This reminds me of...

            He says " Black", I say"wrong, it is shaded!"
            He says White",I say "Wrong, it is pure white".....etc...

            Muslims, you have your unique understanding..Dr Fazl, you have your unique understanding... each one of us has heir unique understanding...etc...

            The oneness of God unites the individual peaceful submitters.
            Islam is peace with the creator, peace with all God s creation and peace with yourself...

            Peace to you all

              Salam

              Sorry, I'm not talking about our "unique" understanding..

              I'm talking about what is the question.

              The question is....

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

              His answer...

              Yes. The entire universe is praising Allah's Glory and waiting for His Command to discharge its duties to man in his favour or against. 5331 And to Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth - that He may recompense those who do evil with the penalty of what they have done and recompense those who do good with the best reward.

              What is the relation between the issue of "resemblance of System of Governance", the issue of "WITHIN" "human beings", and the issue of "Allah's system", with the answer"The entire universe is praising Allah's Glory and waiting for His Command"? hmm

              Please take not the words "System of Governance" (govern!), "within" human beings, and "resemblance"

              Allah's System of Governance
              Within human being's System of Governance <- what is human beings system of governance?

              I believe this is not about our unique understanding, but about the ability to understand the questions or issues. There is nothing "unique" for making a conclusion without understanding the question. This is equally supports by the Qur'an.

              ?Stupidity is the same as evil if you judge by the results.? (refer to al-Anfal22)

              I can be wrong, as always, please explains. handshake

              Peace to you all peace

                  First of all there is no issue here for you to judge and settle as if you know threadbare a-z of Allah's System of governance and human beings' system of governance.

                  Before you understand the question,
                  first understand the meaning of the word "Resemblance"
                  Your irrelevant word, "Relation" is not the question here!

                  Thus as usaual your whole answer has gone haywire.

                  peace

                    Peace to you all

                    I am coming to your red area Please say how in an individual, from his hair tip to toe nail; and from his skin to bones, the human system is related, inter related, their cohesiveness, their symbiosis, their incompatibility, their inconsistencies, their aberration, their physiology, their pathology, their adjustments, their reactions, their sensitivity, his homeostasis within and many more ...

                    Please, first talk about human system, then its governance leave alone universal system and governance. You can never reach for an answer unless you have unique understanding ability. In your case it is far away. Keep groping the dictionaries and you will find yourself still far away remote.

                      The sunnah (which I am pretty sure you meant the hadiths written by Mr Bukhari & Co) is not islam. The sunna is sexism, intolerance, violence. Pakhtunkhwa region in Pakistan-Afghanistan is good example to see how people in the region practise the so-called sunnah.


                      Peace be upon you, brethren!

                      Islam is all about submission to GOD, doing good and avoid vice.

Kindly have a mull in the skull, maybe you will get to know (InshaAllah) as to how the answer provided by Allah to the ambitious query of Ibrahim as mentioned in the verse 2260 has a deep and sustained meaning for the benefit of ............

                          But before that if you could have a thought over the verse 51 of Arabic version of The Book, InshaAllah that would lead you to know the keys to numerous locks and to establish a Sigma Bond with The Book. Allow me to throw an understanding of the verse (51) to you with the request to improve it further, as per your own acumen

                              Do explain your point.. I have no idea on your conclusion and may it bring new perspective to the discussion. My understanding is quite simple, it is all "matter" and is equal to all living things (ie. 1), whether it is big, small, an atom, smaller than an atom or even space. It is existence. Equally, bonding, meanings and even wishing for something or the slightest feeling is not "0". "0" means "0", death, and death is the reality.

                                Islam is the Sunnah, and the Sunnah is Islam - Imam al Barbaharee (may Allah be pleased with him)

                                I know. True.

                                But that's not what is being discussed in the thread. What is discussed is 'islam' as described in the quran. We are not discussing the world religion Islam, which happens to have hijacked that arabic word and made it into a name for itself.

                                Barbaharee's Islam, and that which is described as 'islam' in arabic in the Quran, are two in essence entirely different things.

                                    Peace all

                                    Part of this is interesting.

                                    Aadam was also the one that ALLAAH created to be His representative (al-khaliyfaH) on the Earth - the possessor of the command (al-'amr). This was the Trust (al-'amaanaH) from ALLAAH to Aadam that he must pass on to the specific line of his descendants -the possessors of the command ('uwlu-l-'amr) - generation after generation without intermission until the end at the arrival of the son of man (ibn Aadam) and his universal sacrifice.

                                    Aadam also had a vicious enemy ('ibliys and his descendants) who was bent on destroying him and his entire line of descendants.

                                    and of course, there can never be 100% truth since we are human beings and there are so many things we are unable to understand. The Qur'an is the whole or 100% truth, but the problem is not with the Qur'an, but with us; ie. it is we who cannot fully understand the Qur'an. There is always much or less than 10% (maximum) in what we may or able to think of. We need other elements to expand the brain function. Therefore, the chances that it is also might mean the maximum is below than 10% truth from human beings. Even if someone knows more than 10% truth, none is able to discuss beyond the 10% truth because he will be killed by many for simply a misunderstanding or conflict of ideas and values; Allah guides to His light whom He pleases (2435). That is the design and we are indeed living among animals. Our mind and what we know is not the solution, but what we don't know is the solution, "0";' ie. obedience, "We hear, we obey".

                                    Smart and brilliant people can never know reality and Allah. Because they are too smart.

                                    O people, an example is presented, so listen to it
                                    Indeed, those you invoke besides Allah

                                    will never create a fly
                                    even if they gathered together for that purpose
                                    And if the fly should steal away from them a thing
                                    they could not recover it from him

                                    Weak are the pursuer and pursued
                                    (2273)

                                    • A fly can have about 28,000 small eyes, and ?that?s the direction we want to move in,? team researcher Jianliang Xiao from the University of Colorado told the BBC.

                                        (Al-Quran - 41)

                                        He (Fission) --> H+H --> H2

                                        (Al-Quran ? 20116-121)
                                        H2 (Self sustained, Gaseous State i.e. unseen) +O (Ultimate fruit of a Tree) --> H2O (Liquid State i.e. seen)

                                        (Al-Quran ? 2130)
                                        From Water --> every active thing

                                        Salaam!

                                          I wonder whether Noah is from the Middle East and that small ark can accommodate pairs of all living creatures (millions?, hundred millions?) and their food etc. Sounds funny because the geographical facts and our logical minds is not corroborated with the facts from the Qur'an. Maybe it is true there are lots of timber or Noah walked for months to find trees for building really huge ark that can accommodate hundred millions pairs of all living creatures and space for their foods, waste disposal etc (we are speaking about wild animals! what size needed to accommodate them safely and so that they don't attack other animals?). The ark then drifted for months in the biggest storm that ever happen in human history, and for months for the floodwaters to recede, and yet, it is just circling in the desert areas (10 hours of driving overland?), where it all started. And then suddenly, there are human beings in all over the world that does not look like the Arabs, but they all are descendants of Adam and Eve. It is all in and from the Middle East! laugh
