    Please remain on topic. This thread is about ideas for and writing of misconceptions.

    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.

        Thanks. The site is primarily aimed at non-Muslims so some of those may not be suitable.

        Most articles have now been translated into Urdu

            Often we see this facebook posts with "Rules of war according to Mohammed/Islam" with the rule "Do not cut down the trees".

            But what do we read in the Quran

            595 Whether you cut down a tree or left it standing on its root, it was with the permission of God. He will surely humiliate the wicked.

            May our Lord guide us.

                    I believe it comes from a weak hadith that doesn't have a sound "chain of narration."

                      Quran 2513 And when they are cast into it from a tight crevice, in chains, they call out their remorse.

                      Quran 4071 When the shackles will be around their necks and in chains they will be dragged off.

                      Quran 7312 We have with Us chains and a raging fire.

                      Quran 764 We have prepared for the rejecters chains and shackles and a blazing Fire.

                        misconception

                        "There is no Gospel anymore..."

                        , and some others..

                        "There is no Gospel anymore, because of the council in Nicea"..

                        So how can Mohammed let the people of the Gospel judge with the Gospel like 1400 +/- years ago according to the history (I am not a fan of history..)?
                        547 And let the people of the Gospel judge with what God has sent down in it. And whoever does not judge with what God has sent down, then these are the wicked.

                        Oh, and this verse is another good one to think about

                        568 Say "O people of the Book, you are not upon anything until you uphold the Torah and the Gospel and what was sent down to you from your Lord." And for many of them, what was sent down to you from your Lord will only increase them in transgression and rejection. So do not feel sorry for the rejecting people.

                            Gospel - Matthew 2230 At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.

                            Remember Quran 546 And We sent in their footsteps Jesus, son of Mary, authenticating what was present with him of the Torah. And We gave him the Gospel, in it is a guidance and a light, and authenticating what was present with him of the Torah, and a guidance and a lesson for the righteous.

                                        Peace be upon you.

                                        With the Name of Allah, The Gracious, The Merciful

                                        not were those who denied from the people of the book, and the branching off ones, to be freed untill there came to them the clarification

                                        a messenger of Allah following after scriptures purified

                                        in them, books established

                                        and not divided, those who were given the Book, except of after what came to them, the clarification

                                        and not they were commanded, except for to serve Allah, with sincerity, to Him, the Bond upright, and to affirm the connection, and to contribute the purification, and this is the established Bond

                                        Indeed those who denied from the people of the Book and the brancing off ones, in the flame of Jehhanam are dwelling therein, those, they are the Evil initiates

                                        Indeed those who have trusted and achieved the correction, those, they are the good initiates

                                        their reward is in the presense of their Lord, a hidden garden abode, flowing forth from beneath it, the rivers, dwelling therein after, Allah is pleased with them, and they are pleased with Him, this is for whoever feared his Lord.
