          Wow... this is wonderful and may Allah be pleased with you agentxxx.

          Everytime I read words from the Qu'ran I feel this soothing sensation in my mind, heart, and body.

          I hope though that Allah forgives us for all of our bad deeds and only counts our good deeds. The fire is not a place we should perish in.

                  Respectfully.

                  Yes, me too.
                  I get this feeling of being especially watched when i read the words where Allah Most Powerful says that he will punish us for our sins and then i decide to be even more careful about what i do.
                  Of course, i get relaxed when i read that human being was created weak and that human being cannot achieve everything. Everything here, that is, on Earth.

                  Sometimes i cry when i read the Jospeh story. That Messenger was TRULY patient. I wish i could have 50% of his patience.

                  As salamu alaykum.

                    salams all,

                    wow things sure have changed here... i'm not sure i like this new color scheme. very little contrast, it's all blue.

                    anyway, it may be of interest to actually look at the word that is being translated as forgiveness, ghafara/maghfirah. it doesn't actually mean forgiveness, and so that may have quite an impact on the collection of verses above and our understanding of them. there's plenty of internet resources now to research that if you want. to greatly paraphrase, it means to protect.. and allah has certainly prescribed what needs to be done in order to gain this protection (it's not automatic and not based on wishful thinking or lip service). also, whatever your understanding of forgiveness is, it must be reconciled with 997-8. you cannot translate one part of the quran to contradict the other part.

                        alpha,

                        get to learn your arabic better. look up the lexical meanings of those words and see if forgiveness or mercy are what they really mean. if that's what you come up with, fine. but thats certainly not what I come up with. to base an entire quranic philosophy on errant english translation is just a house of cards waiting to be blown down.

                          1- GET STRAIGHT FROM INSIDE and THE ALMIGHTY wil send uou on the path.
                          2- plant the seed of LOVE and FORGIVENESS in your HEART and THE ALMIGHTY will present you with PEACE.
                          3- DO GOOD and THE ALMIGHTY will shower you with goodness.

                          Watering the ROSES of the garden of heart is done by REMEMBERANCE!

                          If you would ike, you are welcome to translate the BEAUTIFUL NAMES which i presented, from your point of view.

                          I have learned Arabic when i was very young and do not like the game of cards!!!

                          ALL THE GUIDANCE COMES FROM HIS MAJESTY.

                          peace,

                            salam alpha

                            that's a beautiful philosophy of conduct.

                            as far as the arabic meanings of the words, i've decided not to embroil myself in doing simple research for other people. if its a simple matter of looking it up, i think it should be simple enough for those interested enough to do so. and if they aren't interested enough to do so, the chances are that they don't really care too much in the first place. i merely wanted to bring it to people's attention that those words being translated as mercy and forgiveness ought to be checked. the other thing i pointed out was not to translate one part of the quran to contradict other parts.
