What is Islam?

drfazl

Salaamun alayka,

Yes.
Allah does NOT have a khalifa. Do you actually understand what you were saying or not?
No, you or my or anyone's saying will not effect by no means His Majesty.
Do you have an ayaat from the Quran to support your claim?
Did I say He needs it for Himself?

Yes I deny.
Can you please give me an ayaat from The Quran where it is stated that Allah created it for man. As far as I know Allah created everything on earth for us ( thus not the earth itself and not the heavens) and made everything for us available what is on earth and in the heavens.
btw. don't forget that there are besides man also other creatures who are residing this earth.

And can you give me an ayaat from The Quran where it is stated that they should obey and work by man's command. As far as I know they obey and work ONLY by Allah's command.

I do not understand what you are trying to say. Do you mean if I not ponder on them then the punishment of fire is my reward?
For me the saying "Allah has HIS khalifa on earth" is equal to the saying "Allah has a walad", subhanaHu.

salaam,
Bender

The Heavens and the Earth shall obey Adam

Salam

Yes.
Allah does NOT have a khalifa. Do you actually understand what you were saying or not?

He it is Who created for you all that is in the earth, and He directed Himself to the heaven, so He made them complete seven heavens, and He knows all things. And when your Lord said to the angels, I am going to place in the earth a khalif, who shall know the earth and heavens as taught by Allah.

Please note the bold parts above and write your ante to it. And to your next doubt if I actually understand what I am saying, read below

And He taught adam all the names in the heavens and the earth. Then presented them to the angels - which knowledge they never possessed.

And when Allah said to the angels Make obeisance to adam; they did obeisance.

The angels shall obey adam's command by Allah's leave even as the most powerful eight of them carry the entire domain of Allah's heavens and earth, the arsh. Allah created the domain of the earth and the heavens for adam and not for Himself, for He is needless of what we need or any of His own created things.

First we complete our understanding on this one, that the heavens and the earth shall obey adam, the possessor of its knowledge by the leave of Allah before going to your next part of the post.

No, you or my or anyone's saying will not effect by no means His Majesty.
Do you have an ayaat from the Quran to support your claim?

took from the children of Adam
from their loins
their descendants
and made them testify of themselves
, "Am I not your Lord?"
They said, "Yes, we have testified."

muslims

Salam,

We should start from the Qur'an (fire)...

and then move to the Air element, communication (of Deen etc.), humanism, and benefiting humanity..

God commands

justice
CREATING BALANCE
in the society

benefiting
humanity

kindness
to His creation

and giving
to relatives

(1690)

Explosion (Fire) creates "Air"..
"Air" will bring coolness (to humanity) and create "Water" (liquid, like, making their heart soft)...
"Water" will blend with dusts (good and bad) and everything (unity, good and bad under one roof)..
and create "Earth/Soil" (ground, security, strength)....
This will create planet Earth (the foundation for building a house - Deen of Islam) ..
balance and justice in the society (voice).

Ignominy shall be their portion
wheresoever they are found

save (where they grasp)

a rope from Allah <-- prostrate to Allah
and
a rope from men <-- prostrate to Adam

(3112)

Peace.

Salam hawk99,

Then I hope to hear your comment on this

And DO NOT eat of that on which Allah's name has not been mentioned
and that is most surely a transgression
and most surely the Shaitans suggest to their friends that they should contend with you
and if you obey them, you (Muhammad) shall most surely be polytheists. (6121)

For a simple reason of eating of that on which Allah's name has not been mentioned
Even the Prophet would become associator, ie. not a Muslim
Despite the syahadah, salat, fasting, zakat and sadaqah, hajj, jihad etc.......
Prophet Muhammad will not be a Muslim if disobey the "DO NOT" prohibition (breach of contract).

Now the question....

Can we claim more privilege than the Prophet?
Can you prove that we are allowed to ignore the "DO NOT" prohibition
and still entitle to call ourselves a Muslim?

Peace.

Salam Muslims
Sorry for interference but the last part of 6121

is referring to you (plural) "innaKUM" and not to you (Muhammad)

Peace

Sorry, I may have overlooked the issue.

So does the "innaKUM" includes "Muhammad"?

What does it take to move Islam from "Religion" to "Deen"?

Less concern on what is right or wrong

but more concern on unity and benefiting humanity

just and balance

Salam hawk99,

That is a "philosophical" statement, and for easy understanding of our true mission in life.

You can refer to my previous post where I repeatedly say it is a philosophical statement.

Accordingly, you can reject the statement and it does not represent the truth.

It is my philosophy, my analogy and rational thoughts, not yours.

Some may agree, some may reject, and there is no obligation to accept it as the truth.

Peace brother.

Now, just a philosophical statement...

as to the meaning of solat

Free-Minds Introduction

This website has been created for all people who have a desire to allow God into their lives and follow His path alone...

This website invites all people of various beliefs (Sunni, Shia, Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu, Bahai, Agnostic, Humanist, and even Atheists) to come and examine for themselves the system of Submission/Islam which is based on God Alone.

Many of you may outwardly be content with your current faith or that which you inherited from your parents and community...but to some out there, there will always be a tugging at the back of their mind that 'there is something more', and that 'some things don't always make sense'...

If you are one of those people, then open your eyes, put on your thinking cap, and welcome to an open examination of the system of Submission/Islam which very few know about...

Be careful, rational thought can be dependent on the speaker/audience. To some Adolph
Hitler was rational! Whereas the word of God brings one to the ultimate goal.

What happen to your belief that Allah will guide us?

By the way, Adolph Hitler was not rational in a way suggested by the Qur'an.

hawk99

Peace muslims,

Allah will surely guide the believers, for we hear and obey, but one must be careful
because shaytayn also speaks.

Adolph Hitler was far from rational, but many thought he was rational.

If you ask them, "Who created the heavens and the earth?" they will say,
"GOD." Say, "Why then do you set up idols beside GOD? If GOD willed any adversity
for me, can they relieve such an adversity? And if He willed a blessing for me, can they
prevent such a blessing?" Say, "GOD is sufficient for me." In Him the trusters shall trust.

Quran = fire = not from God, then from who?

God bless

Salaam,

We cannot ignore the fact that the age of the scripture has made it difficult to interpret properly. Bias, natural and deliberate changes of word meaning and all sorts of things affect the interpretation.

It was already proven with 434 for example.

God bless you

Salam hawk99,

It is better to fully understand an argument before making an opposition.

Secondly ... why "be careful"?

Indeed, there is for him (Shaytan)
no authority
over those
who have believed
and rely upon their Lord
(<a href="http//quran.com/16/99">1699</a&gt

Thirdly, what is "rational" according to the Qur'an?

For example, (<a href="http//quran.com/2/18">218</a&gt .. what does it mean to be deaf, dumb and blind?

What does Allah refer to?

God bless.

muslims

There's so much more than the Qur'an (<a href="http//quran.com/24/35">2435</a> an introductory Book, Guidance or Manual.

Sunnatullah
Just and Balance

He created
the heavens
and earth
in truth

High is He above
what they associate with Him

He created man
from a sperm-drop
then at once
he is a clear adversary

And the grazing livestock
He has created for you
in them is warmth
and benefits
and from them you eat

And for you in them
is beauty
when you bring them in
and when you send them out

And they carry your loads
to a land
you could not have reached
except with difficulty to yourselves

Indeed, your Lord is Kind and Merciful

And
the horses
mules
and donkeys
for you to ride
and adornment

And He creates
that which you do not know

And upon Allah is the direction of the (right) way
and among
the various paths
are those deviating

And if He willed
He could have guided you all <-- Guided to what? Qur'an or the sign in the Sunnatullah?

It is He
who sends down
rain from the sky
from it is drink
and from it is foliage
in which you pasture

He causes to grow for you
thereby the crops
olives
palm trees
grapevines
and from all the fruits

Indeed in that
is a sign
for a people
who give thought

And He has subjected for you
the night
and day
and the sun
and moon
and the stars
are subjected
by His command

Indeed in that
are signs
for a people
who reason

And whatever
He multiplied for you
on the earth
of varying colors

Indeed in that
is a sign
for a people
who remember

And it is He
who subjected the sea for you
to eat from it
tender meat
and to extract from it ornaments
which you wear

And you see the ships
plowing through it
and that you may seek
of His bounty
and perhaps
you will be grateful

And He has cast into the earth
firmly set mountains
lest it shift with you
and rivers
and roads
that you may be guided

And landmarks
And by the stars
they are guided

Then is He who creates like one who does not create?

So will you not be reminded?

Indeed
the worst of living creatures
in the sight of Allah
are the deaf
and dumb
who do not use reason
(<a href="http//quran.com/8/22">822</a&gt

The example of those
who were entrusted with the Torah
and then did not take it on
is like that
of a donkey
who carries volumes
Wretched is the example of the people
who deny
the signs of Allah
And Allah does not guide
the wrongdoing people
(<a href="http//quran.com/62/5">625</a&gt

Peace Man of Faith,

The interpretation of scripture is not difficult at all. The main points of salvation are there in
Quran to insure that the adherent will have a safe journey to the ultimate goal.

Since I am not one to beat my wife, that portion of the ayat is of no need to me.

2/18 is an allegorical directed at the hypocrites 2/8-19.

If you say Quran = fire you are not relying on your lord but something other than your lord.
Be careful of the "other" than your lord.

He sent down to you this scripture, containing straightforward verses?which
constitute the essence of the scripture?as well as multiple-meaning or allegorical verses.
Those who harbor doubts in their hearts will pursue the multiple-meaning verses to
create confusion, and to extricate a certain meaning. None knows the true meaning
thereof except GOD and those well founded in knowledge. They say, "We believe in
this?all of it comes from our Lord." Only those who possess intelligence will take heed.

I expect you to say "that does not apply to me".

God bless
