      Peace bro "AB",

      I agree with that bro, that In heaven there are thngs that we can't imagine, what I meant that the Khamr in partadise was specifically mentioned and described as being sweet for the drinkers, does not give us headche nor we will loose our minds,

      JK- I didnt read the last part anywehere in the Quran that our minds wont get the covering effect since thats what "khamr" is all about otherwise it would be plain juice NOT "khamr".

      it will look exactly the same as we see it in this life but its properties is different, one property will stay the same though which is being a drinkable liquid

      JK- Well then we could just take grape juice, why "khamr". Sorry bro but this doesnt make any sense to me. I agree we wont be polluted in the sense that our minds can be relieved at any time we please unlike here on earth giving us the full advantage of CONTROLLED PLEASURE.

      also the fruits in the garden will look the same as the fruits we know but it will be totally different in properties, the Quran told us as such as you know

      Peace be with you mate

      JK- Ok but fresh fruits are fresh fruits and "khamr" is "khamr". Otherwise why the different terminologies? GOD Bless!

        So everything will look the same because....... we will still be trapped in our human consciousness? I am not sure I understand why everything will look the same yet have different properties. That implies that although in death we take on a spiritual form or energy, our senses and faculties remain the same? can't buy that.

          JK- Many people confuse "spirtualism" and "materialism" while infact there is no "materialism" except in the conceptual sense. All is energy, waves and quantas if we go down to the peco level. The whole universe/space consists of tiny vibrations. The world we see are signals caused by these vibrations. Heaven and Hell are similar. We will surely be in either of them, feel them with our then given senses, experience them in and out only much more intensely. GOD Bless!

              I agree which is why I question all the crap about what awaits us in heaven. frankly it gives me a good chuckle. What is a wondering spectral energy going to do with grape juice or wine or anything of the sort? I do believe our taste buds will be left behind as worm food with the rest of our human earthly existence. This is where all these holy books makes themselves known as works created by man. Only man would create such a place as heaven and have it so heavily rely on earthly pleasures.

                JK- Grape juice, fruits, plants and evrything else ALL CONTAIN electrons, protons and neutrons(which are infact a combination of both protons and electrons). Thus all of them, all their molecules DO HAVE their own own electromagnetic spectrum depneding on their molecular structure too. GOD may well create such through signals in paradise as we are familiar with them, only much better.

                JK- GOD is giving us allegories compared to our world in order to get our attention. Mankind only responses immediately if real life comparisons are given. GOD Bless!

                  JK

                  then why are we also told that heaven will be beyond our understanding. No pain no worries, but still it will be like earth to make us comfortable? that contradictory no? Which is it? Are we going to be beyond pain and missing loved ones, but still attached to earthly things such as grape juice? Come on. I will forget my pain but need the simplest of earthly pleasures to be comfortable? Or is it a lie told to get man to believe in an afterlife, or just to believe it in some pathetic simplistic way? and therefore a lie...

                    It is ironic that what you accuse us of believing in some pathetic simplistic way is actually describing you

                    our faith is not simple neither easy to achieve, it is bloody damn hard and is the hardest thing is this damn life

                    what you follow is what I call simple and premitive, who you want to kid exactly saw?

                    i know

                    it has to be yourself

                      I canside it a valid question given the translations and interpretations of texts in this thread. As for my personal beliefes, I don't believe I have revealed enough for anyone to undestand it too much nor have many people asked. I do have to look back to someone (I forget who at the moment) who asked for a more detailed explanation but I am still figuring out how best to go about that. My coment was based on teh writings in THIS thread. Again, I think there is room for all beliefes especially when on their purest and most basic level they are the same. I am not debating the beliefes just the texts nd particular interpretaions I suppose.

                        ok, but aren't you kean to help your fellow confused humans and take the intiative?, or you don't give a fluke?

                        I do have to look back to someone (I forget who at the moment) who asked for a more detailed explanation but I am still figuring out how best to go about that.

                        so your concept is not complete yet?

                        now if you think this is only to scrae humans, then I may ask you, scare them of what?, and is it working? and who planned it? and who excuted it?

                          Hi sawtooth,

                          I don't think it's because no one has noticed your variant views - it's just that there is such a heterogeneous group of people here that it hardly matters.

                          I've noticed that you're trying to tell us something more lately but you're still not quite there. Take your time, there are no prizes for rushing; but somehow I sense a destructive element within you that is struggling to manifest itself.

                          A few members disappeared about the time you registered. I'm wondering whether we may already know you somehow?

                          Regards.

                            destructive, no. I will admit that at times my inability to understand why others see things the way they do will frustrate me and cause me to lash out a touch, but i am far from destructive. I loathe the person that would sek to convert me so I would never seek to do the same to others. I sinmply enjoy the debate and descussion of philosophies. I can also tell you that not only do i have no idea who left when I came but i don't know anyone here which is probably why I enjoy it so much. Certainly no need to get paranoid. Ahmedbahgat got paranoid over something his profiler did and ended up wrong. I apologize if things came out wrong, but again, I just get frustrated.

                                Well once again it looks as though I am being confused with someone or placed into something I have nothig to do with. Perhaps i have bad timing, but regardless I am clueless. Actually I thought this placed looked fairly drama free, one of the reasons I joined. From my experience it is still relatively drama free so i will stick around at least for a while

                                  I guess it is drama free in here and will stay that way, but if you want drama, come to faithfreedom.org, I joined yesterday and I reckon there will be a lot of drama there

                                    so to the hell fire I go. perhaps heaven is what we make it out to be individually. For you it will be filled with good muslims, for me it will be something ompletely different. Your hell might BE my heaven. Won't know till I die and I am not going to spend life worrying about it.

                                    It is not that my plilosophy is incomplete, of course it is as I am still growing as a human and a soul. my issue is putting it into words in such a way as others will understand it best. that's all.

                                      so to the hell fire I go.

                                      it is not me who is saying that, it is your God in the last warning he sent to humanity, all I did I delivered the message to you, because you don't read arabic so I read it to you, now you can't use the excuse of not knowing arabic because the message was given to yoou in english

                                      perhaps heaven is what we make it out to be individually.

                                      not perhaps rather surley, and we will end up ith zillions of opinions, the pint is we all are dumb because we followed our illusions to imagine something that is still hidden and is created by another enttity that we haven't seen yet, in effect all the zillions opinions are wrong, let's just leave it to the one who created it and see what he has to say, I'm sure we will all end up with one opinion not bloody zillion confusing ones

                                      For you it will be filled with good muslims,

                                      again, it is not what i said, it is the one who created that paradise (God), who said as such in his Quran, again muslims is not a label as you think, it is an action of submitting to Allah, therefore your wrong statment should actually stated as paradise will be filled by good submitters to Allah

                                      for me it will be something ompletely different. Your hell might BE my heaven.

                                      excuse me, how come a hell is a heaven?, I'm sure this can't be even expalined by realtivity shock

                                      Won't know till I die and I am not going to spend life worrying about it.

                                      this is a very unbalanced statement by you

                                      so you don't wan't to spend your life (this life) worrying about it, and when it happens and if true, you will spend eternity suffering, I don't know if what you said will make sense to a child, but sure i don't get it myself as an adult

                                      It is not that my plilosophy is incomplete of course it is,

                                      oh yeh, i can see it is very complete and answers most of the questions with saisfactory answers

                                      as I am still growing as a human and a soul. my issue is putting it intowords in such a way as others will understand it best. that's all.

                                      ok I'm listening

                                        What I mean is, that when we die, perhaps where we go is place that will be most comfortable for our transition. For you it will be a place filled with what you have studies and believed for so long, for me it will be something else and so on and so forth. Perhaps it is a creation of our own mind and once we come to terms with the cross over, we move on to the next stage. What that is, or what comes after human death will be a mystery for everyone until they discover for themselves in death. What lies after death is not as important to me as what I do with life. I do not led my life as I do because I either want a particular heaven or fear some kind of hell. I life my life because I feel it is the right way NOW while I am living. I will deall with death when I face it. I do not fear or look forward to death, I accept it as a part of life. I do not need a reward or a threat to live it any particular way. I hope that explains my side better for you, at least on this subject

                                          Well once again it looks as though I am being confused with someone or placed into something I have nothig to do with. Perhaps i have bad timing, but regardless I am clueless. Actually I thought this placed looked fairly drama free, one of the reasons I joined. From my experience it is still relatively drama free so i will stick around at least for a while

                                          I guess it is drama free in here and will stay that way, but if you want drama, come to faithfreedom.org, I joined yesterday and I reckon there will be a lot of drama there

                                          This may be a little off topic but when I read your post and went to the site you mentioned I was saddened.

                                          I will not say that I read everything on that site however I must say it is disturbing to me to visit a site that has stories of "Why I left Islam'. To leave Islam to me would be the second worst thing I could do in my life. Leaving the corrupt, politicized, hadith-ized, customized, cultur-ized, representation of Islam was the best, thank the God.

                                          But when people have lived Islam that is distorted and disguised and profess to know it and leave it, it is a sad day.

                                          I really need it to be understood that I in no manner am for leaving Islam. I would say I am more for dispelling the myths and lies and learning Islam, ?from the cradle to the grave?.

                                          I believe we must be careful as there are those who do not love Islam as they have had their hearts broken by what they believed Islam to be and would soon see others leave Islam and believe they must leave it.

                                          I am not one of those. I love the God and I love Islam
