    Peace Sushi.

    Quote Quote from StopS on Yesterday at 042500 PM
    This is my problem I don't see the after judgment, just the "it awaits", which means it is already existent.

    Agreed. Also StopS did you check my reply on the end of the last page?

    Hell is not created yet. It will be created on the Day of Judgement (6917 & 8923)

    God teaches us through the example of the caterpillar; it turns into a pupa in the cocoon (grave), then exits the cocoon as an airborne butterfly. Similarly, we live here on earth, and when we exit the grave on the Day of Resurrection we will not be earthbound; like the butterfly (1014).

    The earth will shine with the light of God (3969) as He comes to our universe, together with the angels (8922). Since our universe is a temporary place for Satan, it cannot stand the physical presence of God (7143). As the Almighty approaches, the stars will crash into one another (778, 812), and the earth will shatter under our feet (6914, 8921). These horrors will not worry the believers (21103).

    A new, eighth universe ( Hell) will be created to house those who run away from God due to their weakness; they failed to nourish and develop their souls (6917). God does not put a single being in Hell; they go to it on their own volition.

    Study, check and clarify from Qoran.

    Peace.

    Peace good logic,

    Muhammad Asad - End Note 11 (6917)
    Since God is infinite in space as well as in time. it is obvious that His "throne" (arsh) has a purely metaphorical connotation, circumscribing His absolute, unfathomable sway over all that exists or possibly could exist (cf. note 43 on 754). Hence, too, the "bearing aloft" of the throne of His almightiness cannot be anything but a metaphor - namely, an allusion to the full maniffestation of that almightiness on the Day of Judgment. The Qur'an is silent as to who or what the "eight" are on whom this manifestation rests. Some of the earliest commentators assume that they are eight angels; others, that they are eight ranks of angels; while still others frankly admit that it is impossible to say whether "eight" or "eight thousand" are meant (Al-Hasan al-Basri, as quoted by Zamakhshari ). Possibly, we have here an allusion to eight (unspecified) attributes of God or aspects of His creation; but, as the Qur'an states elsewhere, "none save God knows its final meaning" (see 37 and the corresponding note .

    Edip-Layth 8923 Hell on that day is brought. On that day the human being will remember, but how will the remembrance now help him?
    The Monotheist Group 8923 And Hell on that Day is brought. On that Day man will remember, but how will the remembrance now help him?
    Muhammad Asad 8923 And on that Day hell will be brought ; on that Day man will remember but what will that remembrance avail him?
    Rashad Khalifa 8923 On that day, Gehenna will be brought forth. On that day, the human being will remember - but what a remembrance - it will be too late.
    Shabbir Ahmed 8923 And Hell is brought close that Day. On that Day man will heed the Advisory, but of what avail will then be the remembrance?
    Transliteration 8923 Wajee-a yawma-ithin bijahannamayawma-ithin yatathakkaru al-insanu waannalahu alththikra
    A 8923

    Judging my the commentators and translators, there isn't much implication that hell doesn't already exist.. in fact quite the opposite judging my 69.17 and 89.23.

    I quote "A new, eighth universe ( Hell) will be created to house those who run away from God due to their weakness; they failed to nourish and develop their souls (6917)". Using the arabic and quranic references, explain why you assume that the 8 implies universe, which in turn implies hell.

    Peace peace

      peace Stop S,

      As I stated earlier, Sushi1992 and I were not able to come to a acceptable conclusion
      because we could not reconcile some of the points you repeated. However, the method
      of understating Quran must be done so with the concession that the Quran is right and it
      is for us to figure out how and why, thereby gaining knowledge of Islam. It appears that
      God can do what can be considered incomprehensible. For instance, created a consious
      human being who can compose music. Understanding omnipresence is among the great
      challenges presented to us.

      Having said that I will attempt to make sense out of the ayats, first
      The angels, with their reports, climb to Him in a day that equals fifty thousand years.

      STOP S climbs his stairs it takes him 15 seconds he says something to God, God is omnipresent.
      God is where you left from and where you arrived.

      Hawk99 walks to the store in 5 minutes, at the store he ask God for guidance, God is omnipresent.

      Therefore the angels are traveling, this does not diminish the attribute in any way

      God is everywhere by knowing everything, remember there is no mention of physicality

      With Him are the keys to all secrets; none knows them except He. He knows everything on land and in the sea. Not a leaf falls without His knowledge. Nor is there a grain in the depths of the soil. Nor is there anything wet or dry, that is not recorded in a profound record.

      343] Those who disbelieve have said, "The Hour will never come to pass!" Say, "Absolutely-by my Lord-it will most certainly come to you. He is the Knower of the unseen. Not even the equivalent of an atom's weight is hidden from Him, be it in the heavens or the earth. Not even smaller than that, or larger (is hidden). All are in a profound record."

      Next ayat is
      We created the human, and we know what he whispers to himself. We are closer to him than his jugular vein.
      Two recording (angels), at right and at left, are constantly recording.
      Not an utterance does he utter without an alert witness.

      oh boy do I have to say "spies"?

      Next ayat
      You shall not obey him; you shall fall prostrate and draw nearer.

      This ayat encourages deen so that one may be saved from the hellfire.

      And lastly God told Moses go to pharoah "I am with you hearing and seeing."

      Peace O0

      Ayats to consider

      When Moses came at our appointed time, and his Lord spoke with him, he said, "My Lord, let me look and see You." He said, "You cannot see Me. Look at that mountain; if it stays in its place, then you can see Me." Then, his Lord manifested Himself to the mountain, and this caused it to crumble. Moses fell unconscious. When he came to, he said, "Be You glorified. I repent to You, and I am the most convinced believer."

      My take on the preceding ayat is that God's presence cannot be tolerated by this infinitely small fragile earth.
      but he is aware of everything that goes on all the time.

      Those who disbelieve have said, "The Hour will never come to pass!" Say, "Absolutely-by my Lord-it will most certainly come to you. He is the Knower of the unseen. Not even the equivalent of an atom's weight is hidden from Him, be it in the heavens or the earth. Not even smaller than that, or larger (is hidden). All are in a profound record."

      Yet, they set up besides GOD idols from among the jinns, though He is the One who created them. They even attribute to Him sons and daughters, without any knowledge. Be He glorified. He is the Most High, far above their claims.

      Be He glorified, He is much too exalted, far above what they utter.

      GOD has never begotten a son. Nor was there ever any other god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have declared independence with his creations, and they would have competed with each other for dominance. GOD be glorified; far above their claims.

        Why would anyone be required to climb or walk only to talk to an omnipresent being?

        No idea what this has to do with the price of eggs....

          Peace Sushi.

          You will be right if you said Heaven exists. You will be able to confirm from Qoran{235}

          But you show me a verse to confirm your claim that hell exists?

          Peace.

              @ hawk 99

              i can understand , even if we remember God , it takes let say one second to remeber God.

              why one second if he is omnipresent.

              why 50000 1000 one second 15 seconds doesnt matter , all the time its angels humans or other things that do their works in the frame of time becoz we have limits,

              at the first place stops question is illogical as he expect God to travel or he want to hold God in space time qualities , whenever God address something its cannot apply on God , God is ultimate law and he have power over all things , all things depend on him , God dnt depend on anything including time.
              God is free of need,

              and its angels human who need time to travel , so subject is human and other beings , so subject apply to them regarding time , not to God

              example did this verse or any verse claim that ,, God take 50000 years to reach to angels,
              God travel more than the speed of light,
              God is tired after doing hard work of creating this massive universe...

              NOTE
              brother hawk never give up.. specially in the matters of faith, ur end response can discourage believers,

                Imran,

                There is absolutely no need for God to travel at all, God is everywhere at the same time. No angels would have to travel either because they are not bound to the physical.

                Be well

                          Imran,

                          You would have to do a deep-down investigation of the words in ancient lexicons and see if they have an alternative etymological origin in conjunction with a check against the literal language of the verse. You would also need to check if ALL words used are truly understood properly including grammar words deemed as unquestionable and obvious.

                          It is a huge project.

                          Be well

                            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.

                                  So you claim Allah/God/Rabb has a location to travel to? So God could be like the man on the moon?

                                      peace,

                                      i like that post as well, i have similar understanding, but in the view of ideas everybody can have a right to put their ideas and then calculate results honestly , so that what i was asking from MOF bender and everybody to present their ideas , becoz what i understand they consider angles beings differently what majority believes ,

                                      peace.
