Note Correction for 635
If their aversion is hard on you (distress you), then perhaps you could make a tunnel in the earth, or a ladder to the heavens, in order to bring them a sign. Had God willed, He would have gathered them to the guidance, so do not be of the ignorant ones. (635)

2- Pride.
Glad you bring this up.
I suppose many people fall into this "pride/proud/takabbur".
I tend to see that the suggestion such as
"You should be proud of yourself" <--- is actually a trap!
I think "being proud" is useless.
If we're able to achieve something, then what we need is thankful to Allah, and not need to proud over it.
Peace.

Peace mmkhan,
Thank you for your elaboration. It is dangerous with the understanding that faithlessness is being Kaffir when you associate it with the passages of the recitation because they pronounce that they deserve the fiercest of punishments both in this life with the next giving the Kaffir of the Arab religious sects to show hate against anyone they deem not following their ways. The Master s against this sect-making against the previous receivers of the decree and yet Muslims make the same grand mistake by forming a sect and pronouncing themselves as Muslims in their ignorance whole while their behavior does not suit their claim. Islam is to go into balance/harmony with your Master and fight for The Master's cause to stop oppression and injustice, and if things are "in Islam/faithful/harmonious/balanced like in the prayer by Ebrahem (commonly translated secure by the root of iman). It is an honorable mission in an equally honorable decree. Will you say that these "jihadists" do that?
I propagate that the root s - l - m does not mean submit but rather meld with or go into symbiosis by a form of harmony and peace. You greet a believer with salaam just due to this reason. And you do not say to your brother "submit" (you dumb fool). You have another word for submit in Quran-Arabic and that is the one commonly used to refer to prostration(s - j - d). So I think some people on this forum were partially right with peacemaker, but not truly right. More like balance or into harmony-maker.
In symbiosis with the creator = peace and prosperity is the meaning whenever the combination with Arabic word islam is used and with 'Allah'. Submission is another topic. So when you greet someone 'salaam' you technically wish them peace and prosperity (through The Master). Submission accidentally entered into the word by misled clerics who know 'sujud' as prostration while it is the word to submit. But to tell them to humble themselves you use sujud. Historically a prostration is to humble yourself to someone which has caused its deep association with the word.
And may The Master continue to enlighten us.

I understood the word kafir from 234, easy and simple, alhamduliAllah. And disbelieving in Allah is not a kafir as per my understanding.
There are two things shown in 234,
1- Refusal of Allah's command.
2- Pride.These two things made him kafir.
But, how can we accept/obey Allah's command if we don't believe in Allah?
I mean, if I don't believe in Allah, then I have no reason to accept/obey Allah's commands.
I can't obey someone who I don't even believe that he/she exists.
If I want to accept/obey Allah's commad, then I think first I need to believe in Allah.
Peace.

Peace,
Did you not read my thread? The obedience to give is to make a balance (in the force) of God and to respect the creation that you live in that you may build faith (iman). God is good and if you meld with God so you shall become and a successful harmonizing means you will belong to God's "kingdom" so to say. "Melding", as I have begun to call salat now, provides you with Nearness and Guidance and you gradually belong more and more to God's domain or deen. There is no sect that is more "right" than the other because its simple rules are practically undeniable and it is only the conjecture that people really argue about. The five salat in traditional "Islam" and how or when to do them, or who was to be the leader after Muhammad which caused the Shia-Sunni wars.
Fundamentally all what is service to God is being a good and faithful follower and upholding a brief list of guidelines which interpretation depends on faith basically and what is in your heart.
An example is that Jesus said The teachings of Moses said that adultery is forbidden, but I say to you that one has commited adultery in their mind already when looking upon another woman with desire.
Jesus gave new light to the decree revealed to Moses in that regard.
I have said it before in this thread, God's system is dead-easy to follow yet so hard for most people because they make it hard. Remember 10 rules basically and you can live well with them in the light of God.
God bless you

Salaam MoF,
You are welcome bro.
Jihadists? I strongly believe that jihad means to fight/struggle against ourselves in the cause of Allah.
I personally think that the words 'aman' and 'imaan' has different meanings. I know it is from the same root, but the pattern set for both words are different.For example
Falak = Where something floating in space.
Fulk = Something which floats on water.Because of its root, both words has floating in it.
Malik = King from humans.
Malak = King from Jinns.Same way it goes for imaan and aman.
Imaan = Believe in something.
Aman = Security which you get on believing.I might be wrong on this imaan and aman, if so, may Allah forgive me and guide to the correct understanding.
And yes I agree with you on salaam and islam.You can take look at my understanding of Sajda.
May Allah bless you pr

Correct!
That is what people has to understand.
The one who does not believe in Allah cannot be a kafir. That is why I mentioned in my reply#255 as
And disbelieving in Allah is not a kafir as per my understandingOnly a believer can be a kafir not otherwise.

Peace,
It is just some small details not worth about arguing over, but I have found that words using the same root have nearly the same descriptive meaning and do not drift away from each other. Affixes, if you know this grammatical word, shape the words from the root to slightly change its meaning but never entirely and I have found that they keep their fundamental meaning. Any cases not true the interpretation of the recitation has been faulty and the words instead had the same meaning.
I suppose people have not accepted my discovery about ketaab yet, but I urge people to at least investigate for themselves as they may find out that I was right. In that case all affixes circulate around the root word that fundamentally means decree. Its correct meaning even occurs a few times in the monotheist translation whereas in other parts its meaning is following the traditional distorted meaning as book.
A riddle to break was its use in the alleged letter to the queen of Sheba, but in fact it is a decree (an order) that Solomon sends to the queen. And the scribe when you issue a loan is more of a jurist and the papers are a decree on the terms to pay back.
We follow the trap of the traditionalists if we do not challenge the problematic interpretations of the meantime between the revelation and now. So many ignorant people have tried to study it and also added their own conjecture without using their brains.

Peace,
Hypocrites are kufr
Those who sell Allah's words for a price/politics/position are kufr
Those who hide the truth of revelation are kufr
Those who stubbornly refuse to believe despite the evidence are kufr
Those who refuse to believe i.e., deniers after hearing.
How about mockers
A person can be kufr due to avoidance choosing not to know
A person that knows but is heedless/criminal
People that dislike portions of the Quran
Making halal haram and vice versa
Too arrogant to accept the word of God
Please feel free to comment on my two cents
God bless

Peace,
Thanks hawk99, but I had no trouble with which people are kufr. The issue is what the word means literally from Arabic to English. Reject is not accurate in my opinion as the kufr do more than merely reject. They corrupt and that was my first thought as I plowed through the recitation, but it does not suit the text grammatically. An atheist is not kufr merely for lacking faith but it takes a crime against the decree to be classified as kufr. You have to do something others suffer from to be a kufr.
The word is traditionally always associated with disbeliever and that is a danger because it invites to unfriendly behavior towards these people who lack faith but mostly do good as humans. The unfriendly behavior is against kufr in all instances to be harsh against them and that does not include your peaceful atheist friend of even Christian ignorant idolators.
The ones that are unfriendly when someone asks for harmony and peace are kufr in return (see islamists that consider faithless people unclean/unworthy of any respect). You can have more or less faith and even lack faith but there is no disbelief in God's creed. That is a misconception. Only word traditionally used is kufr and it always refers to someone who spreads mischief rather than disbelieve.
God bless you

Peace Man or Faith,
If a person denies out of their mouth and their heart 16/83 I would call this a personal decision and not someone
who spreads mischief but selfish/arrogant denial.I understand the repulsion of words that are misused or misunderstood, but misunderstanding and misuse can
be signs of ignorance and unfortunately we people operate with our understanding at that particular moment.
The unfriendly behavior towards folks that are deemed kufr is one such misunderstanding.God bless

Peace Javalette,
Melding is another word for the word prayer without the neanderthal style meaning which you perform while commencing the bonding/communion which could also be regarded as a kind of meditation except that you know that while doing so you are in contact with the powerful source often called God or rather channel inspiration and guidance. Anyway, if you have seen the motion picture 'Star Wars' you have an example with the Jedi practitioners "syncing" with the Force. God is wise and a source of guidance and seeking the "face" of God is a very good way of gaining Knowledge and Wisdom as well as the Nearness and Guidance. Nearness is God's willingness to let you bond while the opening energy that comes down is guidance. The guidance opens up for a better understanding of Knowledge and Wisdom. Knowledge could equal to understanding the decree (al-ketaab) whereas Wisdom is the ability to know how to apply that knowledge.
As you know the decree contains of allegorical and non-allegorical moral lessons and some few rules. The wise and knowledgeable with faith will be able to soak up the narrations and also apply its moral meaning in their daily lives.
God may also channel things which are not yet narrated to any person with strong faith as "God's pen does never run out of ink" meaning the Guidance part will grow plentifully causing you to a state where you may know above what the recitation teaches in terms of moral character as it is limited to just some length while the recitation is containing guidelines for daily living. You can never finish your "training", but you can become a "mumin" (believer or more exactly one with faith) although you can likely never cap your level of faith or you would be equal to God because God is the source of faith (iman) and the one with capped faith would never commit any error. It would be a dream scenario, but I am sure not even Jesus had capped faith level.
A muslim, much like many have already figured out on this forum, is someone that does not require faith to be but it is a way of being and acting in your life. Anyone, faith or not, ought to be a Muslim (loosely meaning "harmonizer", ie someone that aims for balance without injustice and vice) and if one is not a harmonizer they are a 'kufr' (opponent that opposes and to do kufr is to oppose). It is God's mission that they oppose and God and everything in The Master's domain. They are losers without perceiving as they have no chance against God, but they are so delusioned and lost that they think they follow what is right but not. They do not see reason, and they can think they have faith (iman) while they do not. And they can think that they only live once and do not have any faith either and oppose God by opposing those who have true faith.
But the term disbeliever is a human invention because We know The Master energy exists and so do all who have true faith. Even those without faith do often acknowledge that there is a creator but they often lie to themselves. God is self-aware and needs no one to have faith but it is for our own sake. God has no need for us as The Master can control everything without any helpers. We are servants because we happen to be created by the mighty energy in the universes and we are in full control by The Master and the best thing is to meld and be part of the domain. God has traits which are good and superior and why would The Master keep evil-doers? Why not put then in Hell?
Please dear sister (is it right?), enter into harmony with God and all that encompasses The Master and continue the melding and the purification. Struggle for God's cause and we will surely be winners.
It is sad that every time a missionary comes a group of people always pervert the decree and twist it with their tongues, and they only conjecture on things they have no knowledge. And they oppose while they should know the decree and they show their true nature as opponents. They want no harmony but want their ego and arrogance and God's curse has caused their deeds to look good in their eyes.
If you have faith, serve The Master, my Master and your Master, to The Master we shall return.
Have faith in The Master and me, realize kufr is no disbeliever but rather opponent. They reject, but they do so by opposing God and those who have faith.
God bless you

Sorry, at the moment IAs for those who reject, whether you warn them or do not warn them, they will not believe. don't know what it means. InshaAllah, I will share with you if Allah teaches me.
Ok,
but how about 26?
As for those who refuse/deny/reject (kafarū, whether you warn them or do not warn them, they will not believe.
Looks like this verse indicates that the rejecter (kafir) will never become believer,
so in this case, those people who reject can also be called disbelievers.
What do you think, brother?
Peace.

So, in other words, you perceive your salat/prayer as "melding"?
Do you refer to non ritual salat here?
What's your opinion about ablution (Qur'an 56) before prayer/salat?
Anyway, if you have seen the motion picture 'Star Wars' you have an example with the Jedi practitioners "syncing" with the Force.
Yeah, I've ever seen Star Wars back then...jedi the lightsaber looks cool...
A muslim, much like many have already figured out on this forum, is someone that does not require faith to be but it is a way of being and acting in your life.
My current understanding is that someone still require faith to be muslim,
but the difference is,
the faith of a muslim has not yet reach his/her heart.
I take myself as example...
I want to be a believer, but it looks like my faith still not reach its perfection.
I think my faith already reach my mind (my thinking, in my head),
however, I'm not sure if my faith already completely sturdy reside in my heart.
I remember this verse,
The Arabs said "We believe."
Say "You have not believed, but you should say 'We have submitted', for belief (true faith) has not yet entered into your hearts,
but if you obey God and His messenger, He will not put any of your works to waste. God is Forgiver, Merciful."
I'm hoping that at least now I can be a muslim (submitter), inshaAllah.
Please dear sister (is it right?),
Yes, I'm a female. ) Thank you, dear brother.
Perhaps my username may sound masculine, but I'm a female. D
I live in JAVA island, Indonesia. I suppose I added "Latte" because it sound nice, I think...
enter into harmony with God and all that encompasses The Master and continue the melding and the purification.
Thank you, brother.
However, I still need time to completely understand what you mean above,
but I agree with purification.
I think purification is one of the reasons why we're placed in this world for a while, it's to cleanse our souls by obeying God's commands, so that we can become better/advanced souls.
Struggle for God's cause and we will surely be winners.
I agree.
Have faith in The Master and me, realize kufr is no disbeliever but rather opponent. They reject, but they do so by opposing God and those who have faith.
But it looks like "kufr" fairly closely linked with disbelief.
I still need to explore this, though.
Peace.
