Fish is haram 4 Quran Alone adept according to Sunni Cheikh

Salam,
Correct, and that is why we have 53 to clarify (giving a definition to "mayta"
Good - we agree. And we use 6138 to clarify that the subjet matter is a living animal (and not a cucumber).
Now, knowing that the subject of 6121 is an animal, and knowing that the mention of God's name was done proceeding te arrival of the meat for eating, and knowng that in 6138 the rejecters slaughter animals without mentioning God's name as an innovation, then, I can conclude that the requirement to mention God's name is during the death of the animal and not afterwards.
54 They ask you what was made lawful to them, say, "All the good things have been made lawful for you, and what the trained dogs and birds catch; you teach them from what God teaches you." So eat from what they have captured for you and mention God's name upon it, and be aware of God. God is quick in reckoning.
When dogs or birds catch/kill animals, we cannot (necessarily) mention God's name upon it, that's why we are instructed to do so afterwards.
Sorry, but you have made 2 errors in your analysis above
-
Hunting with trained birds/dogs requires the person to be with these animals at the time of the hunt (you re not in a hut watching TV waiting forthetrained bird/dog to bring the catch to you), therefore, when they are launched (assuming they have damaged the prey) you are still able to retrieve the caught animal with life in it as the entire pocess fom capture to delivery might take seconds (while the death of an animal - if youve ever killed a sheep or chicken - takes a few mintues).
-
Please read verse 54 carefully, God does not use His words at random. It says 'trained and it says catch/caught. These are not wild dogs and birds who will rip out the throat of their prey, but are ones that have been trained to behave in a certain way. Also, we are told 'what they catch' and not 'what they kill', confirming my first point that these animals are still alive when they are retrieved.

Peace,
Respectfully.You should visit London, especially Edgware Road, next to Marble Arch.
The Edgware Road is basically small version of Lebanon where sunnis pretend to be Muslims and sell alcohol, watch women's breats throught he smoke of sheesha and miss sunset prayers on purpose because they have to do business eat lots of shwarma lamb with chips (fries), smoke a lot, drink constantly due to big bellies and of course drive around in German cars.They prohibit everything that local imam tells them and at the same time, they allow themselves what they inner-self orders, which they blindly obey in the nazi-style"Jawohll, My Fuhrer!!!!!"
Peace.

Thank you very much for your kind wishes, UmAlawi.
I hope you and your family members will come to agreement that is good for all of you. -
Salam Layth,
Nice to see you posting again. )
Why must dhikr mean "mention" in these verses? Could it not mean remember?
6121 mentions shaytan/devil as a contrast to dhikr, just like 591.
How do you understand 593, since it says we can eat any food as long as we believe and do good work? The usage of self-awareness/taqwa is very important here.

Salam Jack,
I never had a chance to congratulate you on being a mod - good job )

The answer (whether dhikr is 'mention' or 'remember' would depend on the context of its use.
For example, in 2160 the context is clearly 'mention' (i.e. they said 'we heard a youth named Abraham mention them'.
In 1863, we havethe context as "remember" (i.e. the devil made me forget to remember the fish).
In the context of this discussion, I read it as "mention" rather than remeber (especially when we look to supporting verese that hve to do with slaughter such as 6138 and 2234, 2236 to recall a few.
On 593, far from being a licence for the believers to eat what they will, it is a very consoling verse saying that the believers will not bear sin for what they eat as long as they are rightoues, believe, and do good works; then are rightoues and believe; then are rightoues and make right - therefore, the believers will not be judged for what they eat as long as they are undergoing the process of betterment and rightouesness - immediately after in 594 you get the verse on the restriction of hunting which ties in smoothly with this leinency.

Salam Layth,
Thanks.
Anyways, doesn't matter either way. Whether you mention/remember, the idea is to be mindful of God in all the actions we do, including slaughtering animals
3191
Those who remember God while standing, and sitting, and on their sides, and they ponder in the creation of the heavens and the earth "Our Lord you did not create this without purpose, be You glorified, spare us the retribution of the Fire!"
4103
So when you are done with the bond, then remember God while standing, or sitting, or on your sides. Then, when you are relieved, you shall hold the bond. Certainly, the bond for the believers is a scheduled ledger.

My comments were not meant to offend, just stating a matter of fact.
Also, I do not understand your position since you insist on relating yourself to Christianity (a pagan blasphemous religion) yet you claim on many posts to be a montheist?

http//www.ChristianChurchofReality.com3113 They are not all the same, from the people of the book are an upright nation; they recite God's signs during parts of the night and they submit/make obeisance.
3114 They acknowledge God and the Last day, promote recognized norms and deter from evil, and they hasten in goodness; these are of the reformed ones.
3115 What they do of good will not be turned back, and God is aware of the upright.

I am most certainly a monotheist. The reason I still call myself a Christian is because of my own interpretation of Christianity. I do not believe that you have to accept Jesus as the "Son of God" or that he was divine, nor the existence of the trinity (which makes no sense at all). I believe that to be a Christian you just have to accept the message God gave us though Jesus (commonly called Christ). To me that makes most people Christian EXCEPT those that believe in the trinity and that Jesus was somehow God, they are not Christians, they are just as pagan as the "traditionalists" in the other religions.
Maybe I am wrong, but I tend to believe that, using my interpretation of Christianity, there is very little difference between Christianity and Islam. Now I know I will get a lot of criticism here for saying that, but, that is what I believe.

What if I said 'I am a satanist except that I do not believe in any of the practices or sayings or beliefs of satanism.'
Obviously such statement makes no sence and hence my affiliation with satanism would be false/empty.
If you reject jesus being the son of God, and you reject the trinity, and you reject the doctorine of instant fogiveness gained through the belief in jesus, then youare not a christian nor does it make sence that you continue to affiliate yourself with such a system (its like somone rejecting the sunna but insisting to be called 'sunni'!).

Hmmm. One is pagan and will gurantee you admission to Hell, while the other is God given and gives those who submit to its teachings a far better chance of being accepted by God and admitted to Paradise.

I don't believe that God cares what label you give yourself or what religion you belong to. I believe God only cares what is in your heart and mind. God does not have a religion, he/she is above that (I say he/she because I also do not believe God has a gender).

If that is your belief, why then do/did you remain affiliated to the label 'christianity'?

He is a "christlim" or "mustrian" he calls him that.
