    Peace WayFinder,

    With your view how do you explain the following two verses

    3112 - We have endowed Luqm?n with wisdom "You shall be appreciative of GOD." Whoever is appreciative is appreciative for his own good. As for those who turn unappreciative, GOD is in no need, Praiseworthy.

    1739 - This is some of the wisdom inspired to you by your Lord. You shall not set up another god beside GOD, lest you end up in Gehenna, blamed and defeated.

    I do not see any contradiction between these verses and what I said.. Infact, to be appreciative and thankful is also clairvoyance.. Every wise person would recognise this...

    As for 1739, the hikmah in question is being detailed in the verses above it and 1739 is concluding the list. All of which are talking about sound judgement....

    Maybe... if I say the right mindset one has to develop... This is the hikmah as presented in the Book.

      The correct understanding has been preserved for us. We do them just the way Prophet Muhammad did them.

      Please speak only for yourself. Thanks. peace

      I have no issue whatsoever with people following conjecture if they think it helps them. I do have an issue with people claiming, like you do, that this is what everyone is doing or should do.

        Peace Ayisha,

        Here is some example of correct understanding of verses

        1. Preservation five daily salat time, way to conduct them, ?.
        2. Ramadan ~30 days fasting, breakfast right after sunset,?..
        3. Hajj when to perform them and how
        4. Pre-wash for salat
        5. Salat during war
        6. And many more

        The correct understanding has been preserved for us. We do them just the way Prophet Muhammad did them.

        So the verses in Quran referring to these are all wrong and no one could understand them so they needed to be 'corrected'?

        Where do we find these correct understandings preserved?

        How do you do # 4?

            Peace WayFinder,

            The wisdom itself cannot be transmitted but the implementation of the wisdom can be transmitted. For example, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) implementation of Allah?s system on earth can be transmitted. In fact, this is what has happened after he died. Then the system got corrupted by satanic influence. One example of transmission is five times salat during a day, the timing, and the reestablishment of correct way of performing salat. We still follow his implementation of salat. Correct implementation based on his wisdom. Another example is lunar calendar for Ramadan, 30 days fasting, breaking fast right after sunset??.

            It was transmitted after he died? why not while he was alive? It is the satanic influences that happened after he died that corrupted and did the reestablishment of salat as salat was established before the prophet was born, and that is what is in Quran and that is what Muhammed followed. The minute he died it was all changed and 12 sects sprang up with differing ideas all wanting to re-invent and 'correct' what he had done. The lunar calendar was 'invented' while he was still alive, all that came later when the people re-formed Islam to suit what they already knew, just as the Jews and Christians did.

              I replied only because i don't want you to misunderstand my previous post.

              I do not agree with your point #1, #2, and probably #3 and #5 as well, since i have yet to see what you mean by "Hajj" and "Salat during war". The points being
              "five daily salat"
              "Ramadan ~ fasting"

              Please don't take them too lightly. There is so much more in Al-Salaat and Al-Siyaam.

              Peace

                Peace Leyna,

                I gave the correct understanding of some verses. If you do not agree then you are not included in the ?us?.

                  Where do we find these correct understandings preserved?

                  In the ahadeeth of course. )

                  Am I the only one getting tired of reading arguments like this? I came here because I am not interested anymore in this sort of discussion, because I would like to engage in an interesting and spiritually enlightening exchange of thoughts, because I am sick and tired of the same old same old Sunni arguments, the arrogance and the constant bullying, insulting and game playing if you don't follow their understanding.

                  It's irritating and tiresome that exactly those kinds of discussions seem to take over the board recently.

                    6. When we are able to walk our parents take us to mosque and we observed salat
                    7. By age five we know how to perform salat, its timing??yet we don?t read book
                    8. This is how Allah preserved the salat (as practiced by Prophet Muhammad) for us

                        2. The salat rite is preserved because Quran is preserved
                        3. We learn salat before we are able to read the Quran
                        4. Allah teaches us the salat first
                        5. We see our parents, relatives, neighbor? perform salat when we are baby
                        6. When we are able to walk our parents take us to mosque and we observed salat
                        7. By age five we know how to perform salat, its timing??yet we don?t read book
                        8. This is how Allah preserved the salat (as practiced by Prophet Muhammad) for us

                        Again ? I suggest you speak for yourself only. Not everyone on here has observed their parents etc. performing salat from an early age on. And I am sure that among those who did, not everyone observed the very same thing, because there are differences in how people perform it, according to local traditions, which school of jurisprudence they adhere to and so on and so forth.

                        So how is a convert supposed to learn ritual prayer? Who is he supposed to believe, which technique is he supposed to follow? If the convert is a woman, should she cover her head during prayer as the majority of born Muslims do, despite the fact that there is nothing in the Qur'an telling us that this is an obligation?

                        Your argument above is completely illogical. You are basically saying we should follow some dubious traditions because that's what people have been doing for ages. It's exactly what the Qur'an advises us against.

                        The fact is, they have said "We found our fathers following a certain way, and we are following in their footsteps."

                        And similarly, We did not send a warner to a town, except its carefree ones said "We found our fathers following a certain way, and we are being guided in their footsteps."

                        He said "What if I brought to you better a guidance than what you found your fathers upon?

                        They said "We are disbelievers in that with which you have been sent."

                        Consequently, We took revenge upon them. So see how was the consequences of the deniers.

                          I asked about #4 though, this was not #4

                              The purpose of their posts is simply to have people going around in circles wasting their time on ridiculous arguments. It's their way of trying to block serious and intelligent discussions.
                              ignore ignore ignore

                              I admire your energy, intelligence, knowledge and the way you present your arguments, Ayisha, but I also wonder why you bother. It's clear this is never going to get anywhere.

                                No the transmission occurred while he was alive. Perhaps you are unaware of the history and the facts.

                                Prophet Muhammad tried to establish Allah system in Mecca but failed.

                                He established Allah?s system in Medina (Yatrib). Then this system was transmitted to Mecca, neighboring town, neighboring country, and afterward to Spain and so on.

                                  This is pure conjecture... The inscription is clearly written in ancient arabic therefore it was common to the arabs... Similar to the name Allah itself... Arabs knew all these... the problem was their focus... and association to these names... this is what Muhammad came to change and rectify. The name Ar-Rahman is even present is some pre-islamic poetry in sabaen. Moreover, the name was also very well known among the people of the Book. So just because one or two men seems to believe it otherwise does not change this fact. From the inscription itself... It suggests that Ar-Rahman was even a deity in the pre-islamic arabia since the writing has been made in the name of Ar-Rahman.

                                  So spare us with bogus claims and conjecture.

                                  Conjecture? are you sure it is Conjecture? You are proving that despite being well versed in Arabic You have no understanding of Quran

                                  http//www.everyayah.com/data/images_png/25_60.png

                                  And when it is said unto them Prostrate to al-Rahmn! they say And what is al-Rahmn? Are we to prostrate to whatever thou biddest us? And it increaseth aversion in them.

                                  Will you not believe then?

                                    ok, so basically you follow what your fathers followed even though they may follow nothing but conjecture and you are taught not to questions it.

                                    Or they may be following salat preserved by Allah!

                                      Am I the only one getting tired of reading arguments like this? I came here because I am not interested anymore in this sort of discussion, because I would like to engage in an interesting and spiritually enlightening exchange of thoughts, because I am sick and tired of the same old same old Sunni arguments, the arrogance and the constant bullying, insulting and game playing if you don't follow their understanding.

                                      It's irritating and tiresome that exactly those kinds of discussions seem to take over the board recently.

                                      Just don't pretend to be so scholarly.
                                      No one here has presented Hadith or even called for it as a support for any argument.
                                      It is only you! people here have read your discussions too, just take a look at those before commenting on others.

                                        As I said ? game playing. nope

                                        The purpose of their posts is simply to have people going around in circles wasting their time on ridiculous arguments. It's their way of trying to block serious and intelligent discussions.
                                        ignore ignore ignore
                                        Yes I agree, but here it doesnt stop the intelligent discussions, they are still going on and they are gret to learn and read while these circular guys keep chasing their tails.

                                        I admire your energy, intelligence, knowledge and the way you present your arguments, Ayisha, but I also wonder why you bother. It's clear this is never going to get anywhere.

                                        It does go somewhere, it exposes them for who and what they are whereas they would normally be inserting more poison into intelligent conversations. But yes it is tiring, but you know me, if I see BS I have to tread in it and splatter them with it. jedi And if I can get just one person to see the blatant shirk and total contradictions of a certain translation then I'm happy peace

                                          No the transmission occurred while he was alive. Perhaps you are unaware of the history and the facts.

                                          Prophet Muhammad tried to establish Allah system in Mecca but failed.

                                          He established Allah?s system in Medina (Yatrib). Then this system was transmitted to Mecca, neighboring town, neighboring country, and afterward to Spain and so on.

                                          Thats not what you first said though.

                                          "For example, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) implementation of Allah?s system on earth can be transmitted. In fact, this is what has happened after he died. Then the system got corrupted

                                          so, how about #4
