    The only semi-political article I ever wrote was in the month leading up to the war in Iraq. I wrote it because no-one in my opinion was addressing the real issues and proposing real solutions, especially the anti-war lobby.

    All information is correct to the best of my knowledge only and thus should not be taken as a fact. One should always seek knowledge and verify for themselves when possible: 17:36, 20:114, 35:28, 49:6, 58:11.

        peace all,

        A recent discussion with a member brought up the issue of my articles and where they can be found. They were in several places, so I have put them all in one place for easy reference

        May 2005.
        Disproved once and for all salat = prayer
        http//mypercept.co.uk/articles/disproved_traditional_salat.htm

        Is The God commanding the polytheists to uphold/maintain the prayer, even though they are polytheists? Do they pray to their gods? Is The God giving them an ultimatum somehow convert to Muslims and uphold/maintain the prayer or if they don't they will get punished?
        My answer to all three questions would be no, because this doesn't make sense. However, for those who believe salat=prayer, they are forced into a corner do they accept their interpretation doesn't make sense and reconsider their view of salat OR do they continue to follow salat=prayer and make the verses fit their view?
        I have no doubt in my mind, that their initial reaction will be to choose the latter option. If they do not, their entire argument for salat=prayer collapses because there is no way 'the reading' would use the exact same wording for polytheists and believers, telling both of them to uphold/maintain the prayer!

        'The reading' itself will prove conclusively beyond doubt, that to hold the salat=prayer view for these verses is impossible without severe reinterpretation of the text/meanings and ignoring what the text actually says.

        The sentence is conditional and the verbs are perfect whose subject pronouns refer the polythists. Can we consider it a command to polythiests for doing three things mentioned in sequence?

          For sake of argument, let's say "yes" - what is your point?

            But there need to be some logic/argument to treat a conditional sentence as Imperative. If there is none, then the whole argument based upon such premise will collapse.

              My view works perfectly well with those 3 things being done in sequence. If you think otherwise, please state exactly why using what I've actually written.

                Once the conditions are fulfilled, they are no more polytheists; they have become Muslims for which reason the apodosis clause declares them as brothers in Deen Islam. Ideologically reverting to Monotheism and then the two physical performances are the symbols of Islam.

                  Cool!

                  Also, I sent you a PM, I hope your earlier PM wasn't a "warning" necessarily since I have no idea what I might have done wrong and I'm usually pretty careful and I've been nice and stuff, so if someone reported me they may have just been a bit sour or something. I've never called anyone names on this website or insulted anyone really. On the other hand I've been insulted quite a bit but I haven't taken it too badly or anything, it can be something humorous and I like to play along with that generally for everyone's entertainment! To liven things up a bit!

                  Thank you again for posting your famous work here Wakas!

                    Salateh does not mean prayer at all and is not even close. That is right, brother Wakas.

                    Salaam

                      Can you make a list of the words you have figured out so far and what they mean to you and also how you came upon the meanings of each letter and how you decided to combine those meanings?

                        Your interpolations have been highlighted in bold

                        Once the conditions are fulfilled, they are no more polytheists; they have become Muslims for which reason the apodosis clause declares them as brothers in Deen Islam. Ideologically reverting to Monotheism and then the two physical performances are the symbols of Islam.

                        As I suspected.

                        The article is nearly 10 years old, and no-one has refuted it, to my knowledge. What respondents have done however is base their argument around these verses being an exception. Some may find this argument acceptable.

                        All information is correct to the best of my knowledge only and thus should not be taken as a fact. One should always seek knowledge and verify for themselves when possible: 17:36, 20:114, 35:28, 49:6, 58:11.

                            Yes, of course! I'm curious, do you perform any sort of worship practice that might at all resemble the common Muslim types, or if not, any others? Sorry if this is off-topic.

                              you can read my view of the regular/timed salat of the mumineen in the list of articles. Some may describe that as a ritual

                                Sentence of 911 is the base argument of the entire article

                                'The reading' itself will prove conclusively beyond doubt, that to hold the salat=prayer view for these verses is impossible without severe reinterpretation of the text/meanings and ignoring what the text actually says.

                                Therefore, the question regards condition and apodosis clause needs to be attended and concluded about validity.

                                  Mazhar, I have already addressed your concern, which is entirely built upon your interpolations.

                                  Once the conditions are fulfilled, they are no more polytheists; they have become Muslims for which reason the apodosis clause declares them as brothers in Deen Islam.

                                    I have done nothing. Just asked a simple question about the sentence. A conditional sentence alongwith apodosis clause does not mean commanding some body as is your basic argument in the link under discussion.
