    NadyaThis is all once again a smokescreen. People respect people who have the integrity and intellectual honesty to respond to their points on a debate/discussion forum, but that's not on the cards for this user. A surfeit of emoticons and a smokescreen of slogans abound with no substance. Sad. This behaviour has to be addressed. Please respond to the posts with substance and a categorical rebuttal.

    Addressed indeed. This person has come and insulted our deen and then refused to address our responses. This is fasad or mischief and I ask yourself and the mods to consider this. You all banned Albion, why not this guy?

      I'm actually disappointed in myself. I predicted this would happen (quote below) but still went along with enquirer's charade. I've learned my lesson.

      Peace.

      I'm in a dilemma here. On the one hand, I can very easily respond to your post. On the other hand, you'll either a) brush it off and go off on some random tangents or b) ignore it. I don't see what the point is. You may take that as an ad hominem attack; I call it "experience with enquirer." I'll respond, knowing full well it's probably pointless to do so.

        Well Caveman, at least a sincere reader will now see that those who attack al-quraan will eventually find themselves without argument. Sad that the opposition had to be a guy like Enquirer though. There are people out there who outclass him easily. Some actually can address your arguments.

              What is MO?

              Modus Operandi, meaning he'll come back with the same tired arguments, same tone, same hit-n-run tactics, etc.

                That's right. Enquirer has shown his true capabilities and he can never hide that

                  Realized that MO is Modus Operandi after hitting the post button. Thank you CavemanDoctor.

                  MQuran if you just pay little more attention what he posting and just refer to topics which I had suggested than you will know who he is actually. There is one more thing that you have to watch out new members and their modus operandi because I am expecting one more to come.

                          If the quran is a book containing 'irrefutable' science,and is guidance for all times/today,then where are the verses on tv,test tube babies,internet,nuclear power,cloning,automobiles,genetically modified food,transistor radios,ipods,mobile phones,vcrs,electricity,carbon dating,etc,etc...?
                          Your argument is not making sense...if it is a book containing 'irrefutable' science and guidance for all times why isn't a test tube baby in there? ??? The quran is a book containing facts. Whether it is about biology, geology, astronomy or psychology. It is also dynamic, in which there are layers that can be understood depending on the times that one is living in. What's the problem then? Just because the internet is not in the quran it means that the facts it does contain are somehow incorrect? If they are not incorrect then they are somehow outdated? That is why the only recourse is to prove that the facts in the quran are incorrect/outdated/irrelevant/illogical, not that it doesn't have ipods so it's hooey.

                          As salamu alaykum.
                          Respectfully.

                          Actually, i have to correct you.
                          No offence but Internet is in fact mentioned in the Qur'an.

                          When Sulayman sent that bird to the queen in Saba and then afterwards he asked who among the present will birng him her throne, one of the jinns, i think (correct me if i wrong about anything) said he will bring it to him before he gets up.

                          The other said that he'll bring it before he blinks. This is now important. See, in the blink of an eye. Get it? Today, we can "click" and get info from all over the world in the blink of an eye!

                          I hope this helps.
                          As salamu alakyum.

                            Peace,

                            The bird didn't bring any message to and from Sheba. The Hoepoe cannot fly long distances. Hudhud is arabic for Hadud, which was the ambassador of Solomon.

                            Only the jinn, which refer to a leader in this verse, not an invisible creature, indeed used an expression that is the same as in a blink of an eye. That people take it serious that the jinn really could be that fast is sad to see.

                            In the arabic it says that the person who knows the book/writting, which refers to the letters, brought her throne to Solomon. In the ancient times, a throne was a normal gift between kings and royals.

                              Ah I see! So the jinn had the internet operational at the time?

                              Peace.

                                I'm sorry if i misunderstood the story with Suleyman.
                                When the jinn said in the blink of an eye, i thought, literally, but if i am mistaken, i'm sorry.

                                    As salamu alaykum.
                                    Respectfully.

                                    Here's a proof about CEREBRAL CORTEX

                                    The Quran on the Cerebrum
                                    Allah said in the Quran about one of the evil unbelievers who forbade the Prophet Muhammad from praying at the kaaba
                                    "Let him beware! If he does not stop, We will take him by the Naseyah (front of the head), a lying, sinful Naseyah (front of the head)!"( Quran, 9615-16)
                                    Why did the Quran describe the front of the head as being lying and sinful? Why didn't the Quran say that the person was lying and sinful? What is the relationship between the front of the head and lying and sinfulness?
                                    If we look into the skull at the front of the head, we will find the prefrontal area of the cerebrum (see figure 12). What does physiology tell us about the function of this area? A book entitled Essentials o Anatomy & Physiology says about this area, "The motivation and the foresight to plan and initiate movements occur in the anterior portion of the frontal lobes, the prefrontal area.This is a region of association cortex..."' Also the book says, "In relation to its involvement in motivation, the prefrontal area is also thought to be the functional center for aggression...."
                                    Figure 12 Functional regions of the left hemisphere of the cerebral cortex. The prefrontal area is located at the front of the cerebral cortex. (Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology, Seeley and others, p. 210.)
                                    So, this area of the cerebrum is responsible for planning, motivating, and initiating good and sinful behavior, and is responsible for the telling of lies and the speaking of truth. Thus, it is proper to describe the front of the head as lying and sinful when someone lies or commits a sin, as the Quran said,"... A lying, sinful Naseyah (front of the head)!"
                                    Scientists have only discovered these functions of the prefrontal area in the last sixty years, according to Professor Keith L. Moore.

                                    As salamu alaykum.

                                          Hey savage-carrot, why qur'an should mention about your little electronic pocket devices? you're not taking them with your grave, are you? Qur'an is a guidance for every human being, this life and after, and not just for 21st century, also since 1400 year's ago it was revealed so i dont understand how you came up with your apple toys? And yeah qur'an does quote some scientific information which are important to us to know about, not about how your iPhone will work, but how in future things you don't know about will bring people closer, and that was explained to people over thousand years ago which means whole technology system. Now the things you've been thinking of, why allah should mention that in qur'an anyway? Allah gave us brain to built such things in modern technology, did anyone ever thought of this? If allah wanted, could have make us brainless. People should think carefully how allah created human beings with brain they can use to discover so much
