Does the story of Religion Islam have legs to stand upon?
-
There are few fundamental concepts around which the whole religion Islam revolves. These concepts are as follows.
- Allah is one and only deity for worship and purpose of creation of all is to worship him in manners prescribed by Religion Islam.
- Islam actually originated from Abraham, the father of origin for all monotheistic religions, also shared by Judaism and Christianity. Hence, providing legitimacy to religion Islam.
- To be a Muslim, one has to pronounce Shadda or
I have already written the Linguistic analysis of Allah, to show that it actually is not one word, but a sentence of three words and just written as one, meaning ?one who doesn?t engage in worship?. However, recently someone objected to it. His objection was, how come, if this is the case why not other examples of similarly combined words in the language?
This led to a search of language rules. The search uncovered a well-known phenomenon in Arabic language identified by term called Al-Naht. In English it would mean combining of several word to coin a new word. Following are few examples, of this phenomenon.
=
Example from Quran where two verbs are compounded as one word.
824. It is supposed to be combination of two verbs Ba Ayan Tha and Alif Tha Ra.Since Allah is a very important word in Quran scribes took pain to preserve its spellings. This is what helped me to understand, that it cannot be a one word. Rather a compound of three words.
The next critique about Allah was that the dagger Alif written above Shaddah is not a consonant and Alif is a vowel and hence can?t be combined by shaddah. This led to a comprehensive revision of the topic. The results are as follows.
There are two main types of ?alifs? in Arabic, or soft and or movement. The former is real alif or a consonant and later is called Hamza, which is vowel. In Allah it is ?alif? which is above the shadda and not Hamza.
While exploring these linguistic explanations of the above two concerns. I recognized, once again that there has always been a thought of school among Arabic linguistic who claimed that there are only three root letter words in Arabic. All words claimed to be four or five letter roots are combinations words from three root letters.
Furthermore, there is evidence from Mohammad himself stating that in his language they didn?t pronounce words with Hamza. Which would mean Hamzas were added in text later on in time.
The understanding of these two issues leads to solution of next basic concept of religion Islam, the name Abraham. The origin of all monotheistic religions.
Abraham has no root in Arabic. Hence, it has led some to conclude and believe that it is a barrowed word. However, original word was not spelled like what it is spelled in English which matches with Arabic spellings.
Since Hamza is not part of the root, irrespective whether it was originally present or not? So it can be ignored to analyze Arabic word . Once first Alif or properly Hamza Al Wasl in the beginning is ignored. This word appears to be a combination of two roots and . These two together would mean ?He became free of going heedless in course by reason of lustful desires?.
If no proper name Abraham in Quran? Hence, no religious connection. This makes second leg of religion Islam disappear.
Finally, as regards third concept of Kalam. I have written following before.
Now let us examine if this first pillar of Islam holds up to serious scrutiny?
What is its source? Most Muslims would tell that prophet told us so. But question comes to mind from where? Didn?t he come to deliver our Rabb message? If so, shouldn?t this message be in Quran?
So let us look up Quran, if it is there any evidence in support of this Kalima, the pre-requisite for being a Muslim?
Upon examining Quran these words are there, but not in this order or not even in one verse. Let us bring evidence from Quran itself?
3735
4719
The above 2 verses in the middle contain first part of Kalima.
Following verse has second part of Kalima, at the beginning.
4829
But wait a minute, do not Muslims get very upset, if one takes verses out of context? Don't they claim that taking parts of verses/sentences out of a whole verse and using for a different purpose and meanings is against principles of honesty and truthfulness? But is it not the same with this article of faith?
But why shall we trust this non-sense prophet said so. But aren?t we told he was ?Sadiq and Ameen?. The role model for his followers for the moral principles of honesty and truth. Therefore, are we still going fall for the bait?
I am just puzzled someone has to give me an answer that really makes sense. How come the person who supposedly came to deliver the message could have distorted it, himself? While held in the highest moral and ethical esteem by his contemporaries.
I have no intention of hurting feelings, just searching for truth without any biases or personal gains.

yeh actually you are right if you just change a word in you statement from muslim to sunni...
To be a sunni, one has to pronounce Shadda or
for becoming shia may b the criteria of shahada will add up something more like... after this same phrase add this and ali ul walli allah... then you become shia.. and there are more groups like qadiani. ismalie an so on... but all these are by defiation muslim or not it will decided by the one who is controlling us allover from inside out
to become a muslim one need to submit himself towards God from within heart... not by declaring anything by tounge or tradition..
hope u got it...
-
I wondered on WHY they came up with such idea... what inspired them? who gives them this idea?
Not even the sectarian interpretation of Quran orders it.

Imran, Since God is not physically at hand, the submission goes to the real people, dead or alive, speaking or acting on his behalf.
Hope u get it...

The true god is not a 'deity' the purpose of creation is all to SERVE (Abd' Him. All things are servant to His will, acting in accordance to His will and plan, including you and me.
-
The word islam is a type of attitude / character (dien) and not the name / brand of a specific religion.
-
Those who has an islam attitude (Acceptance to His will) is called as muslim (adjective). It's not necessary for one to be labelling him/her self as "Muslim", it's the showing of 'islam attitude' that matter. In the same manner it's not necessary for one to call him/her self as "Honest".. but it's more important for him or her to be honest in all of his/her action and saying.
