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

    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.

    Regards,
    Yuliana

      You can never reach for an answer unless you have unique understanding ability. In your case it is far away.

      Salam

      I must admit, I don't have this "unique understanding ability".

      (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.

      Peace peace

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

        Dear brother Muslims Salaam!

        I guess if you have studied Chemistry and have heard about "CARBON". 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

        "O people, who have taken oath to remain faithful, adhere to the principles of bonding! Permissible for you are the substances with attuned alignment except that are arranged out of unauthorized poaching and that which are not at all compatible. Indeed Allah decrees what is deemed fit."

        (Carrier/Donor ? Receiver)

        Salaam!

            Dear brother ansmeh1998 Salaam!

            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.

            Say, "He is Allah, One
            1121

            Peace.

              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

                        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

                        Timbers? Trees?

                            Have a reading of Manu Smirti at http//sanskritdocuments.org/all_pdf/manusmriti.pdf. Do you find Quran confirms the laws of Manu?

                              Peace brother.

                              p/s The Qur'an do confirm other religious Books (refer here and here). Many are rooted from the same sources or etc....

                                The concept of much talked 'Ark' coupled with the principles of bonding may be taken into consideration to abridge the artificial gap.

                                (ii) To me, the four dedicated chambers of the Heart are construed as the four trusted Caliph of Prophet Muhammad(The Heart)

                                Right Atrium = Abu Bakar Siddique
                                Left Atrium = Umar
                                Right Ventricle = Uthman
                                Left Ventricle = Ali

                                  (ii) To me, the four dedicated chambers of the Heart are construed as the four trusted Caliph of Prophet Muhammad(The Heart)

                                  Right Atrium = Abu Bakar Siddique
                                  Left Atrium = Umar
                                  Right Ventricle = Uthman
                                  Left Ventricle = Ali

                                  handshake

                                  Salaam!

                                  Salaam,

                                  I would not give any glory to those Caliphs, except perhaps Ali, "perhaps", but I am still not sure. They seem to have been criminals all of them.

                                  God bless you

                                    It is He who has sent this Scripture down to you

                                    Some of its verses are definite in meaning
                                    these are the cornerstone of the Scripture

                                    and others are ambiguous
                                    The perverse at heart
                                    eagerly pursue the ambiguities
                                    in their attempt to make trouble
                                    and to pin down a specific meaning of their own

                                    only God knows the true meaning

                                    Those firmly grounded in knowledge say
                                    ?We believe in it it is all from our Lord?
                                    only those with real perception will take heed
                                    (ali-Imran 7)

                                          Look at the structure of widely accepted 'The House of Allah (Ka'aba)' and see through how History has been fashioned with well defined Chemistry. The way Golden Rules of Duet and Octet are embedded therein for guidance to the mankind towards principles of bonding is meant to unveil unbound mystery. The coherence that we grasp at a glance; do you think it is just by chance, Nay! it is arranged with a great deal of symmetry. Accept the way Almighty has taught else nothing to harm God but our own misery. Learn to make a viable bond in all walks of life and shun poaching or rivalry. If you take heed, sacrifice is a great deed; not a sign of timidness but an act of bravery. I hope you have now seen; what is a perfected Deen, You are real or I am imaginary.
