"Serving God"
-
Salaams mquran,all,
i cannot use wujooh as the word to show its meaning relative to the quranic language as it accurs in too many places - but believe you me its not face anywhere.
for more of a solid proof lets look to the word wash - it only accurs in four ayah , two are the same and two ayah's are different but one of these last two is mistranslated so we will leave that alone for now i think.
31.
Thumma aljaheema salloohu
"And burn ye him in the Blazing Fire.
32.
Thumma fee silsilatin tharAAuhasabAAoona thiraAAan faoslukoohu
"Further, make him march in a chain, whereof the length is seventy cubits!
33.
Innahu kana la yu/minu biAllahialAAatheemi
"This was he that would not believe in Allah Most High.
34.
Wala yahuddu AAalataAAami almiskeeni
"And would not encourage the feeding of the indigent!
35.
Falaysa lahu alyawma hahuna hameemun
"So no friend hath he here this Day.
36.
Wala taAAamun illamin ghisleenin
"Nor hath he any food except the corruption from the washing ,
37.
La ya/kuluhu illa alkhati-oona
"Which none do eat but those in sin."Is this a physical washing Br?believe me all the others are the same its a spiritual thing.
You have repeated "wash your face" but it isn't a physical wash and secondly their isn't a face neither, but now its your turn to show me where this isn't the case and how please, THANKS in advance.
Gods Blessings on you.

i've just completed reading the book yesterday....
Aidid did possess a powerful argument IMO
I've never really been a fan of Edip Yuksel but i've read his review on the book
It was a crap review but this comment has got me thinking.....
In an overpopulated world any conspiracy theory and any absurd idea will find some followers
confused

peace sugar
first what is the book?
second what is the book about?
third what views does the book impose?
fourth the author of the book, what sect(if any) does he belong to?

The book is called "Arab conspiracies against Islam" but the latest edition of the book is called "Mental Bondage. The author (Aidid Safar) claims that the Quran has been grossly mistranslated and many of the meanings of the words have been twisted to promote idolatry. The author is non-sectarian and believes Islam is not a religion but a system. Bro Simple sent me a copy of the book. But when it arrived Damon told me on PM that it was available on-line lol
here's the link....

Salaamun alaikum Sugar,
I personally discussed this issue with Aidid so barring the obscuring passage of time, I hope my explanation is fairly accurate
Aidid considers 'worship' to mean 'performing meaningless ritualistic acts' and feels that 'worship' has no place in deen al-islaam. Rather, he feels that we need to serve God by being good and following God's laws.
Ho9w would men be able to follow God's law since their deen is not Islam. how could they do itu since Islam is not a power to implement it.
Rituals is needed (QS.62/9) as a system to communicating Islam to societies.
