Belief in AlQuran
-
It is a conjectural statement, more like whisper and inspiration of Satan. Q.student though not quoted the verses but what he said is from Grand Qur'aan. Read here is a certain, established and proven Kafir and who is an established and provem Mumin.
Satan? Oh no!!! I suppose Satan also told us this
Those who believe (in the Qur'an), and those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Christians and the Sabians,- any who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and work righteousness, shall have their reward with their Lord; on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve
And this
Those who believe (in the Qur'an), those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Sabians and the Christians,- any who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and work righteousness,- on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.Who said anything about rejecting the messenger, since you quoted 4/150? Does the messenger only refer to Muhammad? Does it even refer to HUMAN messengers? Have a look at 42/51, Allah has three ways of communicating with us.

- If someone lives their life according to the Quran but never reads it, are they wrong?
If someone read never read the best map to a destination, but walked in that direction, he?ll more than likely find the place. Quran is not indispensable. I study it because I consider it the best guidance and as it unfolds, I?m seeing more and more insights.
No offense for calling Quran ?the best map?. Its just my opinion. Your scholarship of the bible led you to the same conclusions about God so fair dues to that.- Many people (including myself) read the Quran and do not reject it, yet I have not converted to Islam. Am I still a kaffir?
Why on earth would you want to convert to Islam? You need to affect the Arab cultural expression of religiosity. Pray like an arab, eat like an arab, greet like an Arab. Lemme tell ya something John, how you run your ministry, THAT?S how I envision a Quranist movement would be like. Except for the fact you don?t use the Quran. Muslims have got bogged down in these cultural performances.

who had accepted belief in Allah and the Last Day; and performed righteous actsDude, it doesn?t say ?any one of those identified as jews etc etc. So don?t make stuff up, ok?
Man amana billahi wal yawmil aakhir refers to ANYONE who believe in God and the ?last day?. If it referred to believers, alladhina haadu, nasaraa and sabieen, it would say ?alladhina amana billahi wal yawmil akhir?. -
Thank you for your very good answers. Unfortunately people like me (non-trinitarian Christians) are still branded as "unbelievers" just because of the name "Christian"
I wrote an essay about you and your church and my classmates called me infidel. rotfl just because of the name christian.

Imfromjakarta thanks for your response. it?s not that i?m spiritually feeling down, just abit conflicted with thoughts and understanding. But thats cos i?m ignorant and dealing with discomfort of ideas because of preconceived ideas. Though I still wanna understand ?kafir?.
I guess you?re right some people choose hell unconsciously or maybe with full knowledge...
Thanks Wakas, I?ve saved the file i?ll look into it and comment on it later.
Rev john
Jannah = paradise.
Well i think jannah should be worked for. Who gets it God knows. If belief is enough it sounds to simple?
I don?t know if people ?convert? to islam. If you believe it, you believe it. But if u believe it and cause mischief and misguide people that?s something else (not saying you do)
Well i know it sounds odd how can someone believe in God but if that person rejects Quran then they are kafireen of the belief of The Quran not necessarily God. I sound confusing sorry.
abdalquran
Whats your ideas of the terms mu`min and muqeen you seem to have studied them. I should take Wakas? advice and look through the Quran. I guess i?m being lazy and wanted to see some people?s thoughts.
In that case my responses might be delayed
so people, sorry

abdalquran
Whats your ideas of the terms mu`min and muqeen you seem to have studied them. I should take Wakas? advice and look through the Quran. I guess i?m being lazy and wanted to see some people?s thoughts.Well, it?d be too much to get into here so I?ll try to sum up. Mumineen are people who answer the calls to ?alladhina aamanoo? in the Quran which if im not mistaken, are 88 in total. I should add that this doesn?t mean they read the Quran and heeded it. It could be that they answered an inner call to adhere to such rules. That was my point to Mazhar above. It?s impossible to disobey the messenger and still make it to jannah but there are many channels of messengership. The ayaat could even be in your soul, as you know.
So those are mu?min. As for muqeen/ones of certainty, you?ll find that these people have understood the rabubiyah/lordship of Allah in total. It?s possible that these people have achieved the eye of certainty/ayn al-yaqeen by contemplating death. These people have no more doubts. -
Thanks for the info below, mazhar. Can you please tell us how what you say is relevant?
Grand Qur'aan says something different
Verb PERFECT; Third person; singular; masculine; Form-IV.

Thanks for the info below, mazhar. Can you please tell us how what you say is relevant?
In the quoted verses an eternal principle has been told that in the time and space who ever believed he will be rewarded, nothwithstandin their worldly identification. Principle and the criteria remains the same in time and space.

then when comes to you people Guidance from Me then whosoever physically acts/exclusively follows My Guidancehttp//haqeeqat.org.pk/English%20Tafsir%20e%20Haqeeqat/00.Arabic%20Text/005.%20Al%20Maida/temo5.069b.gif
consequently upon such people for reason of having exclusively acted on My Guidance, there is no cause of fear for them and neither shall they grieve.http//haqeeqat.org.pk/English%20Tafsir%20e%20Haqeeqat/00.Arabic%20Text/002.01.A.htm
Whoever, in time and space, notwithstanding by what name they were known and famous in their respective periods, will qualify if they had followed the Book of their period. Today the prevalent Book of Allah is ONLY Grand Qur'aan which affirms and sanctifies the Books sent earlier in time and space.
http//haqeeqat.org.pk/English%20Tafsir%20e%20Haqeeqat/00.Arabic%20Text/temp%2002%20%202.041a.gif
And accept that (Grand Qur'aan) which I have since sent, who/which certifies/sanctifies what is with you people {from Tor'aat} and do not be the first one {amongst people of Book} to disregard that {Qur'aan};http//haqeeqat.org.pk/English%20Tafsir%20e%20Haqeeqat/00.Arabic%20Text/002.02.A.040.htm

Mazhar, I cannot understand you read ?A? and come up with ?B?. There?s no ?book of the period? in any of the ayaat you quoted. 2/38 for examples speaks of kalimaat/words which will redeem Adam.
As for the only prevalent book of Allah, would God be fair entire mankind on their acceptance or rejection of the Quran as a text (not reject its teachings but the text itself)? Some people were born never even knowing Quran and God is gonna chuck them into hell for that?! Others were shown the horrible example of Muslims (blowing up stuff while holding the Quran yelling Allahu akbar!)? Sorry man, that doesn?t tally at all. Quran is the best source of guidance, it?s never the only source of guidance.

Many people are of the opinion lots of people can be muslim (not that i disagree) how are you defining the term muslim?
Another thing, IF the purpose of Quran is a guidance ya ayuha allathina aminou is a common phrase you will see, addressing those who believe so who is that? (the ones that aminou (look at chapter 49 for example) the muslims? the believers of the Quran or what? The guidance seems to implicate commandments however I know people are of the belief Quran isnt needed.
262 Surely those who have trust/assurance/freedom of doubt in their heart/mind (al mumineen), and those who are Jewish, and the Nazarenes, and those who follow other religions, any one of them who acknowledge God and the Last day, and do reform, they will have their reward with their Lord, with no fear over them, nor will they grieve.
Pay attention to the "and".
4133 Who can be better in speech than one who invites to God, and does reforms, and says "I am one of those who have peacefully surrendered (al muslimeen)."
Mumins uphold the book, so they uphold the salat/bond, bring forth the development/betterment/zakat, strive with their money and lives in the cause of God, etc.
A muslim is one who has trust in/acknwoledge God, the last day/heareafter and does reform/righteous deeds.
4133 Who is better in saying than one who invites to God, and does good works, and says "I am one of those who have peacefully surrendered."
Whats the point in following it if its not needed? If you can be a Muslim without it? Does being muslim give you jannah?
82 The mumins are those whom, when God is mentioned, their hearts tremble; when His signs are recited to them, it strengthens their acknowledgement; and they put their trust in their Lord.
83 They uphold the bond, and from Our provisions to them they spend.
84 These are the true mumins; they will have high ranks at their Lord, forgiveness, and a generous provision.
Also the term kafir comes to mind. If a person comes across Quran reads/studies it yet rejects it does that not make them a kafir? Yet what if that person believed in God? Doesnt that make them a muslim?
A kafir is one who conceals the truth/is ungrateful. There isnt really a thing such as "apostasy" or "conversion" as understood in the classical sense in islam. We must never forget that God is the most compassionate/merciful. Furthermore, a muslim, as explained above, is not one who (needs) to uphold the Quran/reading.
2109 arent ahl alkitab believers? Some are mushrikeen but there are believers so if a believer of God is simply a muslim then it's really not much??
Anyone who sets up partners with God is a mushrik. It makes no difference if the person calls himself/herself "Sunni", "Jewish", "Muslim" or anything else.
Sorry if it sounds disjointed random thoughts going through my head
We should always seek knowledge and clarification/verification (1736, 3918, 12114).
-
Just a few questions
-
Muslim means submitter to God? If that is true then I agree with you that anyone who submits to God is Muslim
-
If someone lives their life according to the Quran but never reads it, are they wrong?
-
I do not know what jannah means, but why would it be restricted to Muslims (in the narrower meaning of the word)?
-
Many people (including myself) read the Quran and do not reject it, yet I have not converted to Islam. Am I still a kaffir?
-
How can someone who believes in God be an "unbeliever" just because they are in a different religion?
Once again, just a few random thoughts.
-
Explained in my previous post. It is simply someone who trusts in/acknowledges God, does righteous deeds/reform and believes in the hereafter.
-
"We made the Quran easy to learn. Do any of you wish to learn?" (5417, 5422, 5432, 5440)
565 If the people of the book only would have acknowledged and been aware, We would have cancelled for them their sins and admitted them to gardens of paradise.
566 If they had upheld the Torah, the Injeel, and what was sent down to them from their Lord (Quran), they would have been rewarded from above them and below their feet. From among them is a pious nation, but many of them commit evil.
-
"Jannah" means "hidden garden/garden". It is open to all muslims (see definition above).
-
One doesnt "convert" to islam be uttering some magic Arabic words. You are already a muslim, IMO, since you acknowledge God, the last day/hereafter and you (probably) engage in righteous deeds/reform.
-
262 Surely those who acknowledge, and those who are Jewish, and the Nazarenes, and those who follow other religions, any one of them who acknowledge God and the Last day, and do reform, they will have their reward with their Lord, with no fear over them, nor will they grieve.

Let us not wander in the whole universe. We are not concerned about those who never even know the existence of Qur'aan. All reference quoted were in connection with a specific understanding of a friend on the forum, responding Rev John's point
.
Many people (including myself) read the Quran and do not reject it, yet I have not converted to Islam. Am I still a kaffir?The basic and fundamental obligation of a reader of a book is to either reject the stuff contained in it or accept it. One cannot do the two things simulteneously, neither he rejects it nor he accepts it. This will only reflect one is in state of perplexity, confusion, is indecisive.
For every moment in time there is a book
For each and every moment/period there is a Book.
And ever since the arrival of Qur'aan this is the Book for the entire humanity till the Last Day. Whomever Qur'aan reaches he has to decide whether he accepts it and becomes believer or opts to refuse/reject it and become Kafir, one who denies.

I don't think there is anything in the Quran to reject.
When one arrives at this conclusion about any book, it becomes an obligation that he should wholeheartedly accept the verdict of the Book and pronounce his belief loudly and clearly and then physically follow its advises in different moments of his life. If this is not the reaction then one is like those who read books only for fun and killing time.
