    I bring to notice the bold red word 'endeavour' which means extreme pressure on you to set up partners to Allah to the extent of even terrorising you to death.

    Salam

    Okay, I can see you have nothing else to complaint off, raising another irrelevant issues.

    But if they endeavor to make you associate with Me
    that of which you have no knowledge
    do not obey them
    but accompany them in (this) world <- stay and don't give up your relationship with them
    with appropriate kindness <- be kind as of a child to his parent (refer here), not make enemy

    (3114-15)

    Further, your argument relating to endeavor is now supporting my argument that Muslims should not give up and keep their duty to the non-believers (parents), and since Allah continues by saying "but accompany them in (this) world with appropriate kindness". The best part is that you have extended further my arguments; ie......

    Muslims should accompany their non-believers parents and treats them with appropriate kindness (duty of a son to his parents) despite "extreme pressure on you to set up partners to Allah to the extent of even terrorising you to death" (ie. your new argument).

    extreme pressure on you to set up partners to Allah to the extent of even terrorising you to death.

    Comparison with your old argument...

    I take the meaning as loving relations and sacrificial love involving my household parents, children, brothers, wife, relations far and near, if I find them blocking my way in the path of Allah and if they force me to deny and belie Allah and His guidance. I give up my relationship with them and spend my life with love sacrificed for the sake of paradise. It is not that as you incorrectly maintain, I am giving my said relations or spend relations which carries no meaning at all.

    Why you are getting confused with your own arguments? hmm

    You are making an argument without understanding what you really believe?

    Peace peace

      The Islamic clergy expends great energy trying to account for these inconsistencies and contradictions. Their answers to your common-sense observations may involve various choices of words, yet the thrust can broadly be summarised thus in order to understand the Hadith you have to be very learned. There seem to be contradictions in the Hadith to you because you are not learned. They ? the clergy ? are learned. Therefore, they do not see contradictions. When you are learned like them you, too, will not see contradictions. Until you are as learned as they you cannot contend with them on this (or any) subject. The fact that you fail to perceive any of this only testifies to your own ignorance; A Study of the Qur'an

      What is this Hadith, clergy, learned etc you are speaking about. Surely I have not brought up this subject. I think this post is wrongly directed to me. Please, is this meant for me?

      Peacev

          cont.

          and some comparisons on the pattern of arguments..

          Whereas the Qur'an says...

          It is He who has sent down to you the Book

          in it are verses precise
          they are the foundation of the Book

          and others unspecific

          As for those in whose hearts is deviation
          they will follow that of it which is unspecific
          seeking discord and seeking an interpretation

          And no one knows its interpretation except Allah

          But those firm in knowledge say
          "We believe in it. All is from our Lord."
          And no one will be reminded except those of understanding.
          (37)

          refer also 5101 and 267-71

          inconsistently...

          logically...

          Peace peace

          What are you bringing this ayat 37 for? Did I reject his ayat? Or did I request you to discuss? If you really want to discuss the ayat we shall discuss it exclusively so. But it seems you pick up ayats here and there only to put me into your red whimsical explanation that which you fancy. And before having an idea of fixing some one using a particular ayat, please remember the same explanation you bring would fit you more than fixing your opponent. Hence do not hunt for ayats; it sure shall haunt you.

          Peace

              With Quran there can never be argument if you fear Allah; and you began arguing from the word go. Instead just say your view without contradicting others' views; let as many as 8 million views pour in. You must have the criterion and patience to choose the best of them all. Such are the people who are men of understanding; and Allah conducts in righteousness only such of these people.

              Peace

                Peace.

                Do you know the meaning of spam? How come you consider yourself as single, one man largest recipient group in this thread? I have bundles of issues with every posting of yours but I never contested any of them. I have posted just one post a weak ago and you said
                You can enlighten us with your understanding or perspectives.

                I have not made an argument here; but if it is thrust on me, I have no way except to try to make clear my view point from every angle possible. I have not passed a single comment on you, unlike you. Say your view against my view, without challenges and comments. This is the main principle to have in mind when it comes to Quran. Subdue, submit and surrender to Allah while writing your perspectives on an ayat for Allah knows best. Wait eagerly for any better input. If you find unworthy posts, all we have to do is just ignore and seek forgiveness for him and for yourself, for we have become judgemental already.

                Peace and I stop here with you
                May Allah Guide Us All

                    Okay.. I think you are panicking and unable to use your rational minds (refer here and here). Let me know when you are able to relax and discuss logically on the issue.

                    Peace. yes

                      No offense, but the above statement is implying an argument from your part. I am not referring to the argument of an ordinary man or what we ordinarily called as "quarreling" (which is not an argument), but from the point of Critical Thinking and Logical Analysis. A method to determine whether a conclusion is sound or unsound, a method to determine the validity of conclusions and separating the poor reasoning and fallacious arguments.

                      In logic and philosophy, an argument is an attempt to persuade someone of something, by giving reasons for accepting a particular conclusion as evident. The general structure of an argument in a natural language is that of premises (typically in the form of propositions, statements or sentences) in support of a claim the conclusion; Definition of an argument

                      A fallacy is an argument that uses poor reasoning; Fallacy

                      (example of poor reasoning, refer here, here and here)

                      The following is an ayat showing a Muslim must use reasoning and not relying on dogma or fallacious conclusions.

                      Indeed, the worst of living creatures
                      in the sight of Allah
                      are the deaf
                      and dumb
                      who do not use reason
                      (Al-Anfal22)

                      And among them are unlettered ones
                      who do not know the Scripture
                      except in wishful thinking
                      but they are only assuming
                      (278)

                      And if you obey most of those upon the earth
                      they will mislead you
                      from the way of Allah
                      They follow not
                      except assumption
                      and they are not
                      but falsifying
                      (6116)

                      And they have thereof no knowledge
                      They follow not
                      except assumption
                      and indeed
                      assumption avails not against the truth at all <- assumptions is not "Faith"
                      (5328)

                      "Condition" to be regarded as those who believe the Qur'an

                      So is one who upon a clear evidence from his Lord?
                      And a witness from Him follows it
                      and before it was the Scripture of Moses to lead and as mercy
                      Those believe in the Qur'an <- only these peoples believe the Qur'an
                      (1117)

                      Peace. peace

                            Dear brother Muslims Salaam!

                            The job done by you in this thread clearly suggests that you are very thoughtful. Your work tells its own tale about your penchant of making a great deal of mull in the skull before breaking the lull. Usually, it is seen that at such level people get inflicted with arrogance. But I have every hope that your good self will not allow this menace to even touch you from outside. May Allah bless you with more precision of mind to maintain your best of standards and bring forth even better and better.

                            Salaam!
                            Mehjabeen

                              Salam

                              Thank you and human beings have several souls existed like layers of an onion, and each stage has its challenges and diseases, which all human beings have to confront during their spiritual journey; internally, as well as externally, and something which is inescapable to all human beings, and which have to be purified by consistent action of fasting, dzikir, meditation, sadaqah, good deeds and remembrance of Allah etc. However, it is not thinking but absorbing, sorry. Thinking alone will normally make us farther away from the right path since our minds are in the same group or is influenced by our lust or low desires. It is our duty to separate our minds from the low desires, so that we are able to project the right magnetic/electrical signals to our heart; ie. the door to our souls, who have witnessed and communicated with Allah (7172), existed in ourselves as "memory". The conclusion, it's a very tough job for becoming a real human beings, and may Allah bless all of us with better understanding and help us in the performance of our duty. pr

                              And the soul and Him Who made it perfect
                              Then He inspired it
                              to understand
                              what is right
                              and wrong for it
                              He will indeed be successful who purifies it
                              And he will indeed fail who corrupts it
                              (917-10)

                              Peace peace

                                Salaam dear brother Muslims,

                                Without any doubt you have deep study of Al-Kitaab and you are equipped with profound knowledge by the Grace of Allah. I find you the right person who can deal with certain mind boggling queries appropriately confronting me for long arising out of various sources (not essential to spell out). Will you kindly permit me to ask the following questions?

                                (i) Do you find resemblance of Allah's System of Governance within the Human Being? If yes, how?

                                (ii) Do you find Prophets/Messengers and their tales mentioned in Quran within the Human Being? If yes, kindly explain.

                                (iii) Do you find the Country named India resembles the Grand Quran? If at all yes, kindly throw light.

                                (iv) Do you find the system of governance adopted by India (of course on paper) resembles Allah's System of Governance? True or False?

                                (v) Do you find the Book of Allah confirms Sanskrit Scriptures considered Holy by the Hindus? True or False?

                                (vi) Do you find Abraham = Brahma, Ismael = Mahesh, Ishaaq = Vishnu, Yaqub = Ganesha, Krishna = Moses, Ram = Mohammad etc.

                                (vii) Do you find eating flesh of animals that survive on the Earth is unhealthy and not prescribed? True or False?

                                I have put forth above questions just out of quest but do not expect to reject them in a haste. If at all you do not like them, kindly choose to ignore.

                                Salaam!

                                  Salam

                                  Interesting, Abraham, Brahma, iBrahim, Sarah, Saraswati, Black Stone, Shiva Lingam, Trishula, Mizab, Baqarah, cow, companions.... There is no need to discuss issues not related to the Qur'an and we just leave it to Allah for inspiring "the understanding of right and wrong" (917-10); since He is Al-Mu'min, The Inspirer of Faith, He is Al-Hadi, The One whom with His Guidance His believers were guided, and with His Guidance the living beings have been guided to what is beneficial for them and protected from what is harmful to them, we are not. We are servants and can only discuss from what is precise from the Qur'an.

                                  And when Abraham said
                                  "My Lord, show me how You give life to the dead."
                                  said, "Have you not believed?"
                                  He said, "Yes, but (I ask) only that my heart may be satisfied."
                                  said, "Take four birds and commit them to yourself.
                                  Then (after slaughtering them) put on each hill a portion of them
                                  then call them - they will come (flying) to you in haste
                                  And know that Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise."
                                  (2260)

                                  And you become three kinds

                                  Then the companions of the right
                                  what are the companions of the right?

                                  And the companions of the left
                                  what are the companions of the left?

                                  And the forerunners, the forerunners
                                  Those are the ones brought near
                                  A company of the former peoples
                                  And a few of the later peoples

                                  (567-14)

                                  certain mind boggling queries appropriately confronting me for long arising out of various sources (not essential to spell out)

                                  For the sake of testing ourselves and to realize the gods and ulamas inside ourselves, try to stop eating, drinking and sleeping for 3 straight days (72 hours). Are we able to achieve this target or we are still hypocrites? This is not suggested by the Qur'an, and only a simple self-test to prove the existence of gods and ulamas inside ourselves. A simple test to realize the flow of ideas within ourselves and how far we are able to control these ideas.

                                  Do the people think
                                  that they will be left to say,
                                  "We believe"
                                  and they will not be tried?

                                  But We have certainly tried those before them
                                  and Allah will surely make evident
                                  those who are truthful
                                  and He will surely make evident
                                  the liars

                                  Or do those who do evil deeds think they can outrun Us?
                                  Evil is what they judge
                                  (<a href="http//quran.com/29/2-4">292-4</a&gt

                                  Peace

                                    (ii) How do you know Quran teaches what?
                                    (iii) How can you say Quran explains only this and not that?

                                    You have chosen to reject the quest in a haste probably in arrogance of having deep study or having much knowledge or for the reasons best known to you. No wonder! This is what most of the humans are. No more deliberations then, May Allah bless.

                                    Salaam!

                                      Salam

                                      (i) How do you know what the Quran is?

                                      Indeed, IT IS A NOBLE QURAN
                                      In a protected Book
                                      None can grasp it
                                      except those purified (from shirk)
                                      (5677-79)

                                      (ii) How do you know Quran teaches what?

                                      It is He who has sent down to you, the Book
                                      in it are verses precise
                                      they are the foundation of the Book

                                      and others unspecific
                                      As for those in whose hearts is deviation
                                      they will follow that of it which is unspecific
                                      seeking discord and seeking an interpretation
                                      And no one knows its interpretation except Allah

                                      But those firm in knowledge say
                                      "We believe in it. All is from our Lord."
                                      And no one will be reminded except those of understanding
                                      (37)

                                      (iii) How can you say Quran explains only this and not that?

                                      O you who have believed
                                      DO NOT ask about things which
                                      if they are shown to you
                                      will distress you
                                      But if you ask about them while the Qur'an is being revealed
                                      they will be shown to you
                                      Allah has pardoned that which is past
                                      and Allah is Forgiving and Forbearing
                                      (5101)

                                      Rather, they have denied that
                                      which they encompass not in knowledge
                                      and whose interpretation
                                      has not yet come to them

                                      Thus did those before them deny
                                      Then observe how was the end of the wrongdoers
                                      (1039)

                                      Allah is the light of the heavens and the earth
                                      a likeness of His light is as a niche in which is a lamp
                                      the lamp is in a glass
                                      (and) the glass is as it were a brightly shining star
                                      lit from a blessed olive-tree
                                      neither eastern nor western
                                      the oil whereof almost gives light though fire touch it not
                                      light upon light
                                      Allah guides to His light whom He pleases
                                      and Allah sets forth parables for men
                                      and Allah is Cognizant of all things
                                      (2435)

                                      He grants wisdom to whom He pleases
                                      and whoever is granted wisdom
                                      he indeed is given a great good
                                      and none but men of understanding mind
                                      (2269)

                                      Peace peace

                                        And when Abraham said
                                        "My Lord, show me how You give life to the dead."

                                        I wonder why Abraham asked how Allah give life "TO THE DEAD" (l-mawt&#257 ?

                                        How many peoples had Abraham witnessed rising from the dead? hmm

                                        Can Prophets rise from the dead or they are absolutely prohibited?

                                        (men with nine lives and nine tombstones (2), and during 1300++ (refer here), not sure whether it is true or forged, "Earthdom" might know the full story since it is in Surabaya, Indonesia)

                                        Or as the one who passed by a township
                                        which had fallen into ruin
                                        He said, "How will Allah bring this to life after its death?"
                                        So Allah caused him to die for a hundred years
                                        then He revived him
                                        He said, "How long have you remained?"
                                        The man said, "I have remained a day or part of a day."
                                        He said, "Rather, you have remained one hundred years
                                        Look at your food and your drink
                                        it has not changed with time
                                        And look at your donkey
                                        and We will make you a sign for the people
                                        And look at the bones
                                        how We raise them and then We cover them with flesh"
                                        And when it became clear to him, he said
                                        "I know that Allah is over all things competent."
                                        (2259)
                                        refer to (349) (272-73) (3050)

                                        The issue is there any other ayats in the Qur'an can further elaborate this precise situations?

                                        Is this still happening, or it will never happen after the Qur'an has been completed?

                                        Peace peace

                                          Salaam dear brother Muslims,

                                          Without any doubt you have deep study of Al-Kitaab and you are equipped with profound knowledge by the Grace of Allah. I find you the right person who can deal with certain mind boggling queries appropriately confronting me for long arising out of various sources (not essential to spell out). Will you kindly permit me to ask the following questions?

                                          (i) Do you find resemblance of Allah's System of Governance within the Human Being? If yes, how?

                                          Yes. The entire universe is praising Allah's Glory and waiting for His Command to discharge its duties to man in his favour or against. 5331 And to Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth - that He may recompense those who do evil with the penalty of what they have done and recompense those who do good with the best reward -

                                          When we wish for the favours from the heaven upon us in prayers, Allah commands the heavens thus upon whom He pleases and thus our wish and Allah's system of governance obeys us.

                                          (ii) Do you find Prophets/Messengers and their tales mentioned in Quran within the Human Being? If yes, kindly explain.

                                          Their tales involve the people and communities they lived with We have the characters in us that which is narrated as the caharacters of the community of Lut; and the evil character of Firaun we can find in most US presidents in particular and in every leader of any country in general. And then the characters of prophets we have in us too as mercy, forgiving, tolerance and so on in various degrees; of course, they are the qualities of Allah which we possess in various proportions.

                                          (iii) Do you find the Country named India resembles the Grand Quran? If at all yes, kindly throw light. (iv) Do you find the system of governance adopted by India (of course on paper) resembles Allah's System of Governance? True or False?

                                          I do not understand as to what you mean.

                                          (v) Do you find the Book of Allah confirms Sanskrit Scriptures considered Holy by the Hindus? True or False?

                                          True and false. Scripture of what language is not important; but those scriptures do have the Truths to a minimal extent as is in Quran.

                                          (vi) Do you find Abraham = Brahma, Ismael = Mahesh, Ishaaq = Vishnu, Yaqub = Ganesha, Krishna = Moses, Ram = Mohammad etc.

                                          Abraham, Ismail, Ishaq, Yacub, Musa, Muhammad are real people chosen by Allah as messengers and prophets.
                                          Brahma, Mahesh, Vishnu, Ganesha, Krishna are imaginary people characterised heroes by the human story tellers.

                                          (
                                          vii) Do you find eating flesh of animals that survive on the Earth is unhealthy and not prescribed? True or False?

                                          Eating flesh of non-vegetarian animals and birds with its blood totally drained is healthy and prescribed.

                                          Salaam!
