    Salaams all,

    Obsession about Verse 1736 in respect of Verification seems to be getting out of hand?could be.

    1722-37.

    Do not do shirk??.
    Be kind to parents??..
    Give rights of others??
    Be not stingy??.
    Kill not children??
    Do no shameful acts??.
    Do not kill innocents??.
    Don?t cheat orphans??.
    Do honest trading??
    Not follow /assert what is not though with/of it knowledge??
    Don?t be arrogant???.

    ?Don?t simply go out and kill someone if you don?t know you should?!

    Marrie said

    What I understand from 1736 in the light of the context don't assert nothing before being perfectly sure.
    For example to testify a false testimony, to provide a false information, to say you heard and you did not hear, you saw and you did not see, you know and you don't know "All of this is bad, and disliked by your Lord", this is why "For the hearing, eyesight, and mind, all these you are responsible for."

    I agree,does anyone else?

      Salam all

      Can anyone answer these Questions , Please ?

      1). How does one go about Proving The Existence of GOD scientifically ?

      2). How Do you Verify that The Qur?n is the Word of GOD ?

      3). How do you Verify that these Messengers of GOD mentioned in the Qur?n really Existed ?

      4). How do you Prove The Existence of malaikat and your Definition of It ?

      5). Can you Prove objectively that The Day of Judgement Exist or will come into Existence at a Given Time ?

      ( all these Questions and their Answers must be in Compliance to 1736 ).

      As for me, the answer to the above Questions Is Negative ! Yet I am a believer , perhaps other people call it Faith , and this Faith comes from within the Real Self , reinforced by the Qur?n Verses such as 22-5 , 2147 and 73 among others as well as Observation of Life and Nature.

      In my Original post on this Thread I cited Verses 5417, 5422, 5432,5430 as well as 1997 and 4458 as a Challenge to The Wise Brothers and Sisters to prove that Qur?n is Indeed Easy to Understand as the above Verses suggested. If it is Easy to understand , then why Not Resolve the Salat issue Now? If Salat is not 'Ritual Prayer' or if Salat is " Commitment to Uphold The Law of GOD from Dawn to Dusk where-ever we are "then I beg The Wise Ones in this Forum to Please enlighten us all with their Collective Wisdom on this issue so we can lai It to rest once and for all.

      My sincere apology if any of my words offend The Believers in Free Mind , as none intended .

      Peace and Cheers to all

        I determine the truth of all verses in ANY book by verification in everyday life. I was merely showing above that the book we are studying verifies the proceedure.

        lets us recall what u said

        The God states that we should be those WITHOUT DOUBT.

        i asked u to quote the verse which led to u to make that statement, and u responded with

        idolfree1 wrote
        2147 should be sufficient regarding doubt

        (2147) "The truth is from your Lord, so do not be one of those who doubt"

        so according to u 2147 is stated by god! so what is the scientific proof that this verse is from god, based on which u stated that god states that v should be of those without doubt!

        idolfree1 wrote
        Yes, proof is required over blind belief. Whats the difference between that and some guy named "Muhammad" saying all that is in "Koran"? Should we blindly swallow one, and require proof for the other? How do you reason?

        u half-quoted 2111, which can be understood as follows

        some people are claiming that not will enter paradise except a jew or a christian, which has no basis in the revelations of god! so the "say.." was in response to a definite contradiction of god's revelations!

        a half-quoted verse does no justice to this discussion here! -)

        also, are u saying that it was a man who manufactured the quran?...and that it is not from god? -)

        that brings us back to what i asked u earlier do u affirm/deny that the quran is the word of god? give a scientifically verified answer which leaves u doubtless! -)

        peace -)

          Look like you are another member on free minds who has the same view as me. People will keep questioning Qur'an because they don't want to believe in the message. Qur'an clearly describes these peole. Glad to have you on forum.

            Anything that is truthful is from the God. Therefore whatever book one reads, they must verify it through life experience, that is EXPERIMENTING, the scientific proceedure. How do you verify that you are following truth? Or do you just believe whatever you are told?

            You did not answer this.

            So you dont want to answer the question?

            also, are u saying that it was a man who manufactured the quran?...and that it is not from god? -)

            I am saying that all books are written by man, they dont fall out of the sky. However, any book that is TRUTHFUL and does not conatin falsehood is, by default, from the God.

            that brings us back to what i asked u earlier do u affirm/deny that the quran is the word of god? give a scientifically verified answer which leaves u doubtless! -)

            Once I finish verifying all of its statements I will give you your answer, however I believe it is from the God, I just don't KNOW yet. But I have verified plenty to keep me busy until I verifythe rest.

              let us keep this simple u said the god tells to accept nothing as truth unless it is verified, this u based on ur statement that god tells to be of those without doubt!

              so how do u know without doubt that the god states to be of those without doubt? did u hear the god state that? i do not want a circular argument like 'traditions are necessary because traditions say so'!

              also, is that (anything truthful is from god) the same as saying whatever is from god is truthful?

              do u believe that knowledge increases with time? do u believe that 'science' is evolving and as such is incomplete, and that which is imcomplete is imperfect? do u then take as ur verification an imperfect procedure and present it as perfect?

              reasoning!

              how do u verify god? or do u believe in something u have not scientifically verified?

              that it was a mortal who decided the content of the quran is something u need to prove! -)

              You did not answer this.

              u have not presented a reference for ur claim that everything needs to be verified by experience! -)

              for itself, the quran says its a revelation from god do u agree with with this assertion of quran?

              if u claim that a mortal authored the book....then the book contains forgery....so which do u choose? that the quran is from god? or is it a forgery?

              idolfree1 wrote
              So you dont want to answer the question?

              ur comment rests on the premise that 'god demands that u should ask proof for everything'! however, as v see, the verse u quoted was only presenting half the picture...instead it demanded proof from those who asserted a thing contradictory to god's revelations!

              so u still need to reference ur claim that god has asked to demand a proof for everything! -)

              according to u, unless u scientifically verify something, u cannot be in certitude...since u do not know as yet...u are in doubt about the content of the book..is that correct?

              but the book itself says that it does not contain anything dubious...does it? also, have u found something dubious in it?

              have u scientifically verified god? do share ur verification! -)

              peace be upon u -)

                Hi alarh0m,
                I'll answer ur questions but can I understand ur view point clearly, first? It would help if U answer the following questions I previously asked u.

                Hi Alarh0m,

                1736 And do not uphold what you have no knowledge of. For the hearing, eyesight, and mind, all these you are responsible for.

                R u saying upholding this is wrong?
                R u saying people should practice blind faith and blind actions? That people should not use their mind to decide what they ought to do, follow, believe? ???

                Peace!

                Peace!

                  rotfl rotfl rotfl

                  I ve met so many hell ceatures but I havent seen one like idolfree...

                  he is a real masterpiece... D

                  hey brother idolfree, I wonder how much time will it take you to verify the rest of the statements in Koran ? D

                  For example, have you verified scientifically that Ebu-Leheb was a kafir? yay

                  Or have you verified scientifically that Jesus has begotten without a father? yay

                  Now, joking apart, answer the following

                  Do you really KNOW that tomorrow the gravitational acceleration will be 9,81 m2/sec or do you just believe (or assume) that it will be so as it has been so until now?

                      peace,

                      agree with Idolfree. We must make an effort to verify everything, including the quran.

                      And Kestrel, we do not need to set up a controlled scientific experiment in a laboratory to verify a certain piece of information. Many times, the empirical evidence is already in our head (our life). All we need to do is connect a couple of dots. If you can't do that, or don't want to do that, then you are no different then Abu Lahab (who probably followed some other holy teachings without verification).
                      I don't know why when the word "verify" is mentioned, people start picturing a lab with test tubes in it. seriously, learn what verify means and use your head to understand what someone is trying to say. Instead of posting useless information with smileys after every sentence. O0

                                It gives me no Joy to write this post , but i feel i must do it. The un-healthy Obsession about Verse 1736 in respect of Verification seems to be getting out of hand. Do we have to Personally Verify everything before we believe it to be true ?

                                so coming to ur question no....we have thus far not seen anything in the quran which asks people to personally experience everything therein before believing by it! nor does god state anywhere to demand proofs for every quranic verse before believing in the quran!

                                infact the quran talks about those who believe by the gayb...then if god were to want u to verify everything...it would be asking a contradiction of u! it seems some of the verses like 2111 and 2147 have been misunderstood (and mistranslated) by some, which is causing a bit of confusion!

                                coming to 1736, 1 of the tools employed by the distracters of quran is to try to isolate its verses out of context so as to present a different picture, and the verse (1736) is perhaps another example of such isolation! a series of 'dos and donts', termed as hikmat, starts from 1722 and continues till 1739, of which 1736 is a part who believe by the quran are not to be upholders of that regarding which has not come 'ilm'!

                                example...4157 god does not take us back in time to verify for us whether or not christ was killed...it simply informs us that christ was not killed...then whoso upholds that christ was killed does so without 'ilm'! and v are not to be such upholders!

                                    Peace friend,

                                    agree with Idolfree. We must make an effort to verify everything, including the quran.

                                    Phoenix, nobody is against this.But the discussion is about the un-healthy obsession about verse 1736, if we have to personally verify everything before we believe it to be true ? There are numerous things that an individual can never personally verify.Now keeping this in mind go and re-read my message plz.

                                    And Kestrel, we do not need to set up a controlled scientific experiment in a laboratory to verify a certain piece of information. Many times, the empirical evidence is already in our head (our life).

                                    friend, all these have nothing to do with what i wanted to say.my point is that you cant even verify that physical laws are constant over time so how can you verify ALL of the statements of Koran.You would say "g=9,81 m2/sec for all times" is a scientific fact, however it is rather a strong belief.How can you be sure gravity wont become a repulsive force tomorrow morning.

                                    use your head to understand what someone is trying to say.

                                    yes, plz use your head to understand what I'm trying to say.

                                    so grow up. . please.

                                    yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay

                                    sorry but I'm happy with the child in me. D

                                    yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay

                                    peace...

                                      peace

                                      Those who reject the information that Mohammed is messenger of God are kafirs.(4150). And kafirs among people of scripture are worst of creatures. ( 986)

                                      Peace kestrel. Idol-free,from his posts,is one of the most original,open-minded,honest,brave,and enlightened members on this forum......Rather than a hell-creature,he is probably a 'peace-loving' creature... bravo
                                      Peace all.

                                      Sorry boys, but I cant call those people "peace-loving creatures", knowing that Allah called them "the worst of the creatures".No matter how original,open-minded,honest,brave,and enlightened they are, kafirs are kafirs.

                                          Lets start verifying the verses of Qur'an

                                          12 Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds,
                                          Alhamdu lillahi rabbi alAAalameena

                                          How many Worlds are there in Universe? Verify this and provide scientific proof of the other worlds.
