    Salaam to all sun

    Well Hadith= bible, both can lead to a dark and terrible path if you take it serius as Quran. Quran give inner peace and freedom and the hadith and bible are scary and lord of rings magical stuff..
    Quran is explainable per si with help of Creator and some deep research.. or a continuous research... Just a sugestion..dont read to much bible or hadith or you will end up in craziness tempt yes

    I think altought that monotheism was first but man use to make Creator a Women. That can be cheked almost truggt all artist objects from primitive time where the Venus with vagine was the most Crafted statue. yes the upgrade of the Venus is the fake MAry of Palestine wich today is even become more important than jesus the palestine(wich we know by now that he is not ISA mentioned in Quran sun of Myryam.) well female deitys where the majority over earth, and if you see today it keeps the same why Vergin mary ascencion day?? why vagina in makka with newbornchild? why hindu deities are wemen also? ..yes in the 3 just for EXemple wemen are considered less than man in real world because came from rib.. and then the same guys worship women deities . then they just make transfer of faith from SUN, to the MOON, then they bealive in trinities, then follow a messenger, and finally every one of us can be a messanger but takes generations to upgrade ALQURAN word into every heart thats like to pass your ADN.. thats the end of story but will take some time..only Allah knows pr

    yes you make good points. but fact , that Allah says, in the Torah is light and guidance. This leads us again and again to the question is this Torah , which we have today is correct?? then we should study it to become the whole picture. but my problem

    1. i dont have the time to study the two
    2. i don't know where to start
    3. when i study the Torah , then i will have less time for the Quran; this i don't like

    I think altought that monotheism was first but man use to make Creator a Women.

    you see you say i think.. you are not sure also
    ...why a Women for the Creator?? Because we are important!!! ;D look how the olds loved women ;D ;D before the false teachings that Eva give the apple to Adam...Sorry off topic
    Salam

          It actually seems that I have a blockhead or a wall in front of the head ... brickwall Thanks for the video, maybe you remember that we have discussed about creation myths before and there you have also posted the video - fact, I find it very good and it helped me a lot.
          But to conclude that there was no Pagan rituals seems to me incorrect.
          These rituals were dedicated to other gods Your argument, as well as that of many others is that the fact that the statues were removed from earth (or from the minds) and then the same rituals (not all of course) has been made now just for the one God and for that,they are legitimized. This is the view of almost all. But is this correct?
          These rituals are 1. necessary and 2. allowed? 3. a real part of faith??

          Salam

          What I am saying is pilgrimage, tawaf, bowing, celebrating certain dates, fasting and giving charity are all rituals pagans do. The difference is these rituals are dedicated to other gods. Paganism is a theology and not a behavior. There is no difference between pagan rituals and monotheist rituals.

          My former post was about creation stories yes, but I could also look at pagan rituals and you will see they are no different than monotheist rituals.

          As far as whether these rituals are essentials of faith, rituals can be individualistic or collective. Islam evolved to be collective in nature. Rutuals in the end are ameans to an end and not ane end by itself. This is why many dbateshere about salat and zakat and haj seem to go in circles.Because they see rituals as a means to an end and can't find a uniform ritual. This thinking needs to stop or we will go in circles. The Quran talks about rituals as if its something that is natural but not necessarily uniform. All humans had similar rituals but they differred on whom they were dedicated to.

              Salam peace
              I would have to disagree on you on that. If we judge by the Quran as teh truth, I have personally compiled close to 300 instances/details where the Quran could cross reference back to the bible (i.e there is truth in the bible).
              I was inspired by some of the New testament teachings of love, mercy, humility.

              Please do not compare the bible with the Hadiths. Don't compare the word of God to the word of man.

                  (Haj-34) To every people did We appoint rites (of sacrifice), that they might celebrate the name of Allah over the sustenance He gave them from animals (fit for food). But your god is One God submit then your wills to Him (in Islam) and give thou the good news to those who humble themselves,-

                  (Haj-(37) It is not their meat nor their blood, that reaches Allah it is your piety that reaches Him He has thus made them subject to you, that ye may glorify Allah for His Guidance to you and proclaim the good news to all who do right.

                  (Haj-(67) To every People have We appointed rites and ceremonies which they must follow let them not then dispute with thee on the matter, but do thou invite (them) to thy Lord for thou art assuredly on the Right Way.

                  3.113 Not all of them are alike of the People of the book are a portion that stand (for the right); they rehearse the signs of Allah all night long and then prostrate themselves in adoration. They believe in Allah and the Last Day; they enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong; and they (hasten in emulation) in (all) good works; they are in the ranks of the righteous. Of the good that they do nothing will be rejected of them; for Allah knoweth well those that do right.

                      Right, the Quran does look at rituals differently than Muslims do. Rituals are a means to an end and not an end by themselves. This concept is usually hard for Muslims to grasp as rituals for them are an end by themselves. They see rituals as the devotion itself by how its performed and when. While the Quran sees rituals as a method of expressing devotion and not thhe devotion itself. Many Quranist also have a hard time grasping this, hence the obsession about 2 salat or three salat or tawaf and ka'ba and what Mecca is etc.
