    Know that

    Islam is a very easy religion to follow. Just believe in GOD, the Almighty, believe in the Last Day, and be a righteous person, then don?t worry, just be happy. See 262 and 2177 among many other verses.

    The Qur?aan is the ONLY and the BEST hadeeth book for religious guidance. See 7185 and 3923.

    Every soul is responsible for his/her actions and that no one will carry the burden of another at the Judgment Day. See 6164.

    The only infallible person is ALLAAH, swt, and everyone else including the messenger prophet Muhammad, pbuh is a sinner and must beg ALLAAH, swt, for forgiveness. See 4719 and 482.

    Intercession is a man-made sectarian lie. See 2254. Noah, pbuh could not intercede on behalf of his unrighteous son, neither Abraham, pbuh on behalf of his polytheist father.

    All sectarian 100% MALE dominated blood lineage stories claiming that their genealogy goes directly back to the prophet Muhammad, pbuh are all manifest lies. The Qur?aan in 3340 informs us that Muhammad, pbuh had no MALE offspring; he had no SON to begin with.

    Peace,
    Khalil

      You are well aware that the Prophet's (saws) daughter Fatima (ra) had 2 sons, Hassan (ra) and Hussein (ra), by the cousin of her father. From them the bloodline of Muhammad(saws) has been continued to this day, and al-amiyr is one of them.

          That is exactly why the claim of being within the direct blood line of the prophet Muhammad, pbuh is a lie. One can claim to have come down the genealogy tree of Muhammad's cousin, Ali, but not Muhammad himself. The double standard starts right at the root of the matter. The second in line progenitor is a female, i.e. Fatimah, the prophet's daughter, then all of a sudden and from there, all the way down the whole "ANCESTRAL" tree all the female progenitors are getting factored out of the equation. How logical and or scientific!

            This al-amiyr dude just wants to boast his ancestral superiority.

            He wants people to believe in him.

              May be someone put more pondering on 3340. Please enhance the explanation of 3340

              I think Mohammed explained by Allah is Superior Post. It means he has demonstrated all the Qualities of Allah and followed Quran
              thus implemented Quran in Real Life and Allah has chosen him as the best.

              But regarding "Muhammad is not the father of any man among you" must be having some hidden meaning. Father meaning sentimental values, thus Mohammed is elevated from all sentimental values and bondage and a supreme rank defined by Allah.
              A father will love only his son and will have attachment. If he is not father then Mohammed must be Brother among you.

              Mohammed must have followed right from Prophet Ibrahim till Prophet Esa thus he is the seal of All the Characters by the Satisfaction of Allah. Prophet Ibrahim is the Role Model of all but still Allah's warning is do not compare among the Prophets. Why this warning is, might be because people may shirk particular Prophet as they are doing now. One sect follows Moses alone and another Jesus alone but God Alone very few.

                Salaam,

                I am ready to believe in someone if they have something sensible to say. But some things I doubt and that is glorious words which are obviously tantamount to idolization used when talking about the "fantastic" Imams of the descendants of Muhammad.

                Are they even important or is it the Message whih is important? If I was a Messenger, I would certainly not want any fame or glory and would rather divert this focus on God and this was just what Muhammad and his predecessors did. They never care about fame and as you see there is little information about the person Muhammad in the Book.

                The same for any hypothetical righteous Imams who wanted to follow in their ancestor's footsteps. They would not seek to be remembered as glorious Imams, but they would be devoted to the One without any selfishness.

                Still, what I follow is sensible information. God's religion takes rationality and logic to follow without going astray. Please define intelligence on a high level. Would 'X' Imam came to me and what he said made sense then I would follow him end of story. The rest I trust that God will lead me straight. I would certainly work to verify what he said though and since I have Quran it has to follow its guidelines and not invent any religious rituals.

                God bless you

                    I am so impressed with your posts that I went back to read your previous posts where you wrote; I'm reciting lots of al-Fatiha to my soul and others, including to mountains, trees, sky, enemies, jins and iblis etc etc etc... as a way of praising Allah for his creations. It helped me to understand life and become peaceful with myself and others. (6.65) (14.7)
                    insha'ALLAAH you are on your way to straight path if you keep doing the same.

                    I have seen your excellent questions again, in off topic section of my thread, it will be my pleasure to address one by one all the questions with reference from the Qur'aan, for now just bear with me as my mind is not tired but eyes are ;D

                    My first priority today is to read the post below properly as I just had cursory look due other distractions, after that I will relax and enjoy addressing your questions to me insha'ALLAAH.

                      I personally wont go to the extreme of saying that islam is a very easy religion . I thimk it is easy in the sense that it only orders that which is necessary and does not promote the following or practicing of aimless rituals like offering sacrifices for the forgiveness of sins, right-foot ,left-foot wearing a turban or growing a beard but it isnt easy in the sense that the commandment to make Justice on earth applies not only to leaders but to everyone.(Enjoin that which is right and forbid that whichis wrong) We as Quranists must be involved in Welfare development in one way or the order and seek to promote justice and human rights, and blow the whistles on the false practices of Sunni muslims and Shia especially when it causes harm e.g underage marriage(in Africa) and trying to legalize it in the name of Islam and the Prophet, hate of non-muslims, especially apostates, and the wearing of Niqab(in some places in Africa some fathers hit their daughters for not wearing an Hijab) in some cases forcibly. Also the code of etiquette propagated in the Quran calls for avoidance of Anger, rage, jealous, hate or hate speech, and cultivation of a quiet attitude, respect for all etc. but considering the behavior of people these days its very hard to stay nice. just pointing it out. Peace

                          Male or female; how is that important? Genetically you are a direct descendant of the prophet (saws), if you descend from one of his children. In addition there is the genetic input of Ali (ra), the cousin of Fatima's father.

                              I am so impressed with your posts that I went back to read your previous posts where you wrote; I'm reciting lots of al-Fatiha to my soul and others, including to mountains, trees, sky, enemies, jins and iblis etc etc etc... as a way of praising Allah for his creations. It helped me to understand life and become peaceful with myself and others. (6.65) (14.7)
                              insha'ALLAAH you are on your way to straight path if you keep doing the same.

                              I have seen your excellent questions again, in off topic section of my thread, it will be my pleasure to address one by one all the questions with reference from the Qur'aan, for now just bear with me as my mind is not tired but eyes are ;D

                              My first priority today is to read the post below properly as I just had cursory look due other distractions, after that I will relax and enjoy addressing your questions to me insha'ALLAAH.

                              May ALLAAH guide us all further to the straight road inshaa ALLAAH

                              Salam,

                              It is the main objective of creation (<a href="http//quran.com/2/30">230</a>, <a href="http//quran.com/49/13">4913</a>, <a href="http//quran.com/2/111-115">2111-115</a&gt, from "many" to "one". Challenges in our life, and only then we will know what is Allah. Hence, I'm struggling spiritually to understand life and making peace with all Allah's creatures, beyond religion and shutting off the "gods and ulemas inside us" (<a href="http//quran.com/45/23">4523</a&gt.

                              Allah has not put for any man two hearts inside his body. (<a href="http//quran.com/33/4">334</a&gt + (<a href="http//quran.com/56/77-79">5677-79</a&gt

                              May Allah guide us all. Thank you.

                              Peace.

                                Male or female; how is that important? Genetically you are a direct descendant of the prophet (saws), if you descend from one of his children. In addition there is the genetic input of Ali (ra), the cousin of Fatima's father.

                                Serious question is that genetic inherence so important that it needs to be highlighted above say, a ethnic European family like mine with next to no direct link to Semitic prophets?

                                  I would say genetics plays an important part in the formation of our resp. personalities; just how great is difficult to assess obviously. You could perhaps say that genetics may provide a healthy plant, and the careful nurturing of it brings out a good tree.
                                  Obviously there are good and bad plants in every environment so no need to be despondent if, like me, you have 'next to no direct link to Semitic prophets'. You could still grow to be, as it were a very useful tree, bearing rich fruit. yes

                                    Wsalam I guess this leads to my next question, does having a genetic link to Ali make one more intelligent, more attractive, deserve more respect or more worthy of God than one without?

                                      I would say no, but it makes you more likely to have inherited some of the good qualities of prophet Muhammad (saws), which were apparent in many of his descendants. With careful nurturing, you may also be more prone to fear God and, perhaps be charitable and disposed to studying and reflecting on His signs in this world.
                                      With no comparisons, apart from the purely genetical, when breeding excellent horses one selects, for a quality breeding mare, a stallion whose offspring displays a strong resemblance to their sire, in the complimenting qualities you look for. This will greatly enhance chances of breeding excellence. Genetically the same holds true for humans. peace

                                        Continuing the genetical comparison to horse breeding; if you have genetically outstanding breeding material you may want to try linear breeding(in-breeding) where a Sire (father) may cover his daughter etc.
                                        This could produce a very stable and predictable breed, where the offspring are all but clones of its Sire.The Muslim custom of cousin marriages can produce very similar results over time. wow

                                          671 Say, "Shall we call upon other than God what cannot benefit us or harm us, and we turn back on our heels after God has guided us?" This is like the one whom the devils have managed to mislead on earth, he is confused, having friends who call him to the guidance "Come to us!" Say, "The guidance is God's guidance, and we have been ordered to peacefully surrender to the Lord of the worlds."
