    Peace muslims,

    I copied surah Al-Munafiqoon, and verse 7 to makes it clear (IMHO) that the hypocrites do not trust or have
    faith that the path is ultimately beneficial to them, and that their position or viewpoint shows a lack of understanding.
    The verse does not claim that the hypocrites claim to understand.

    Your reply sounds personal and directed at someone, is this a continuation of the "who is a kafir" comment
    by another member followed by the "contravene" thread? A thinly veiled personal attack? If so please
    address that person. To use your expression rotfl

    God bless

    peace

      Verse005

      Yusuf Ali And when it is said to them "Come, the Messenger of Allah will pray for your forgiveness", they turn
      aside their heads, and thou wouldst see them turning away their faces in arrogance.

      Okay, it is good that you notice. . . because I notice it too. laugh

      God bless

      peace

        No offence and not specifically referring to anyone

        but just to share my system and understanding for getting a clue of the hypocrites in Islam. . .

        It is just a clue, but not necessarily correct because there are also other factors . . .
        including some might not realize the rules from the Quran and they are too excited about Islam etc.

        A. The following verse about avoiding the nonsense and the justification for this reminder of Allah . . .

        It is He who has sent down to you, the Book;

        in it are verses precise <- muslim's concern, practical aspects of life
        they are the foundation of the Book

        and others unspecific <- the hypocrite's concern, what is Allah, hell, paradise, angels etc, ie. the nonsense
        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 <- main premises, and it does not mean someone will know
        except Allah

        But those firm in knowledge say,
        ?We believe in it. All is from our Lord.?
        And no one will be reminded (with this reminder) except those of understanding (ie. those with no nonsense).
        3.7

        Okay, why? Because Allah does not want to distress the society, and so that people can unite. . .

        O you who have believed
        DO NOT ASK about things which <- prohibition, if disobey ? refer here
        if they are shown to you, will distress you <- no distress, so that society can unite, to simplify life
        But if you ask about them while the Qur?an is being revealed
        they will be shown to you <- people are free to do whatever is not in the Quran
        Allah has pardoned that which is past
        and Allah is Forgiving and Forbearing. <- freedom! it is okay if it is wrong etc, Allah forgive
        5.105

        The disbelievers and hypocrites like to invent a falsehood against Allah, ie. claiming things that Allah says no one knows etc and make their own rules. . .

        And do not say about what your tongues assert of untruth,
        ?This is lawful
        and this is unlawful,?
        to invent falsehood about Allah .
        Indeed, those who invent falsehood about Allah will not succeed.
        16.116

        . . .

        B. Why there is the allegorical in the Quran ?

        The Quran is a trap and for detecting the hypocrites and disbelievers. . .

        It is a system invented by Allah to separate the Believers and the Hypocrites.

        Over it are nineteen .
        And We have not made the keepers of the Fire except angels.
        And We have not made their number except as a trial for those who disbelieve

        (1) that those who were given the Scripture
        will be convinced

        (2) and those who have believed
        will increase in faith

        (3) and those who were given the Scripture and the believers
        will not doubt

        (4) and that those in whose hearts is hypocrisy and the disbelievers will say,
        ?What does Allah intend by this as an example??
        Thus does Allah leave astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills.

        And none knows <- main premises, and it does not mean someone will know
        the soldiers of your Lord except Him.
        And mention of the Fire is not but a reminder to humanity.
        7430-31

        C. It is a trap, and the whole system is to "make evident" so that the Believers are aware who might be the disbelievers and the hypocrites. . .

        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
        (292-4)

        The hypocrites cannot hide themselves from this system. . . everything in Islam is an evidence based system.

        People can get a clue as early they open their mouth. . . perfect system.

          I always felt the the quran is some sort of powerful "dynamite" that enhances you in whatever direction you go.
          If your direction in life has a quality of sincere goodness, then your interpretation, expression and application of the quran will be accordingly. If your direction in life on the other hand has the quality of cheating, betrayal, exploitation, lying etc then your interpretation of the quran will be of the worst kind... interpreting everything in a way that ends up being oppressive, difficult, unjust, cruel and insane.
          Therefore, the quran is not to be taken lightly... it is, so to say, powerful stuff, and needs to be handled carefully.. with a sincere and good heart. Whatever dirt you have in your character, will potentially become magnified when you interact with the quran.

          Peace

            I believe the Quran must have the embedded system to help the Believers identify the Hypocrites. . .
            That's why there is the allegorical in the Quran. . .
            as a system to separate the Believers and the Hypocrites, "the nonsense". . .

            Allah would not leave the believers in that you are in
            until He separates the evil from the good.
            3.179

            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?
            (292-4) (above)

            and this nonsense what hindered the Muslim Ummah from progress in real worlds. . . they live in illusion and irrational thinking.
            discussing things that Allah says "no one knows its interpretation"

            however and from this system, people can start identify the Believers and build their community or group. . .
            they can start makes plan and try to progress in real life . . .
            maybe this what "the nonsense" elements in the Quran is for to the Believers. . . this is the "key"

              Peace

              Peace Man of Faith,

              Thanks for the addition, as you say, " Interpretation of the Quran through wishful
              thinking" is an awesome quality of Quran Kareem and that is what I call "the mirror
              effect" what I mean by this is that the Quran exposes our true convictions.

              After the setback, He sent down upon you peaceful slumber that pacified
              some of you. Others among you were selfishly concerned about themselves.
              They harbored thoughts about GOD that were not right? the same thoughts
              they had harbored during the days of ignorance. Thus, they said, "Is anything
              up to us?" Say, "Everything is up to GOD." They concealed inside themselves
              what they did not reveal to you. They said, "If it was up to us, none of us would
              have been killed in this battle." Say, "Had you stayed in your homes, those
              destined to be killed would have crawled into their death beds." GOD thus puts
              you to the test to bring out your true convictions, and to test what is in your hearts.
              GOD is fully aware of the innermost thoughts.

              The inheritly violent person will "see" the Quran as a warriors manual, the confused
              person will be confused by it, the non-believer will see it as nonsense, the humble
              person will be made content by it. The person in search of salvation can find wisdom
              in its ayats. The tyrant will use it to further his agenda, the believer wll be brought
              to tears and will fall prostrate.
              What a book!

              All praise to God lord of the Universe

              peace

              Peace Zulf,

              We agree

              God bless

              peace

                How can you understand that verse is about the Quran ? confused

                There is nothing in that verse that speak about the Quran

                God is speaking about the Battle of Uhud as the test to bring out their true convictions and what is in their hearts, it is not about the Quran. . . laugh

                Whatever dirt you have in your character, will potentially become magnified when you interact with the quran.

                Agreed.

                    Funny. .

                    They said, "If it was up to us, none of us would

                      The effect of Muhkamat (no nonsense) vs. Mutasyaabihat (nonsense)

                      For the allies of God
                      there is no fear over them <- certainties - no nonsense
                      nor will they grieve <- certainties - no nonsense
                      10.62

                      | | Muhkamat/No Nonsense | | Certainties and no worries | | Faith is strong | | Remain on the straight path | | Does not create division

                      | | Allegorical/Nonsense | | No certainties and worries | | Faith is weak | | Create lies from their interpretation | | Create divisions

                      And from the people are those who say "We believe in God and in the Last Day,"
                      but they are not believers.
                      2.8

                      . . .
                      And those who disbelieve
                      will not cease to be in doubt thereof
                      until the Hour cometh upon them on a sudden
                      or there cometh upon them the torment of a Barren Day
                      22.55

                      . . .
                      Those who ask leave are the ones who do not believe in God and the Last Day
                      and their hearts are in doubt
                      In their doubts they are wavering
                      9.45

                      . . .
                      Yet they play around in doubt.
                      44.9

                      The nonsense. . . and the "same type of people who follow the allegorical" are those who create the Arabic triple goddesses Al-Uzza, Al'lat, Manat, make Jesus and their scholars as the Lord, make Allah prohibitions as halal and the commands as haram, and create religions and denominations etc. . . It is impossible for one who follow from what is clear from the Quran or the Muhkamat will create these kinds of things. These people will acquire certainties and they have no worries about Islam . . . ie. the foundation of strong faith. laugh

                      What is nonsense?

                      Those terms that Allah says "no one knows its interpretation" (3.7), for example. . . Allah, paradise, hell, sincerity, satan, angels, wisdom, Allah guides me, God's pen does never run out of ink, astray, etc. . . it is the not entirely clear verses and that need interpretation, or that cannot be defined through the Quran, ie. "Not entirely clear verse" must be explained by the "entirely clear verses" from the Quran itself so that the words become "entirely clear verses".

                      Rational thinking vs. Irrational thinking.

                      No, they have lied about that which
                      (1) they had no knowledge
                      (2) nor has its explanation come to them
                      It is also how those before them denied
                      so see how was the retribution of the wicked!
                      10.39
