    Y
    ou do. Even more than you think. Your whole shia doctrine is defined by interaction with the ahl al-hadith, and it wasn't chrystallized until well into the 18th century.

    Our school is ancient, you must be a fool. lol

    Prove it to me that our school did not chrystallize until 18th century..hahahaa

      Next question, do you believe that our Master Mustafa (sawa) is infallible?

      Peace sword of tashayyu,

      We only have one master

      Do you not recognize the fact that GOD possesses the kingship of the heavens
      and the earth; that you have none besides GOD as your Lord and Master?

      God bless

        You take Quran literally, lol.

        Master because he will intercede for his followers, and Master is a sign of respect, Prophet Muhammad (sawa) said Man Kuntum Mawla Fahaza Aliyyun Mawla. Prophet Muhammad (sawa) is my Master and Allah is my creator Lord.

          Peace sword of tashayyu,

          Oh boy

          God bless you

            You come here just to force people to commit idolatry like you do.

            Human being cannot intercede for other human beings.

              God is asking you if you recognize that "you have none besides GOD as your Lord and Master", and you answer to that is "NO, Mohammad is my Master"? Gutsy!

                You are asking me to prove stuff you have to know yourself )

                No your 'school' (define school? LOL!) is not ancient, its relatively new.

                The shia doctrine could only crystallize after the Safavids (16th century) and would reach its conclusion around its demise in the 18th century.

                Shi'ism was a politico-religious discourse, which was not strictly defined or sharply demarcated along schematic principles. It had a fairly stable set of core principles, but its theology was very diverse and wouldnt form into what we call the 'ja'fariya school' until way into the 1700's.

                You are just as shocked as sunni's who go system-error when you confront them with the fact that their hadith collections DO NOT HAVE ORIGINAL SOURCE TEXTS, and that the oldest sahih of Bukhari, is in fact a 13th century Mamluke document by the hands of imam al Yunini.

                Do not think its very different with your shi'ite sect, in fact, you are even worse off.

                Have a nice day )

                  We are no scripturalists, you as a shia copy-cat who like to halfheartedly steal from the mutazila, should know that.

                  Only God is our master, and thats it.

                  As for the translation of 2107, it is erroneous. It is 'guardian or helper' and not 'lord and master'.I know that this translation has been copied from masjidtucson, which belongs to the submitter sect, dont do that. Keep it scientifically justified.

                  Arabic

                  http//c00022506.cdn1.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/2_107.png

                  As for your hadith; its fake.

                    Salam,

                    I did, but I believe he choose to rely on dogma and fallacy, instead of the actual word of Allah. There is no compulsion for him to accept my argument.

                    Peace peace

                    There is no 'word of Allah', just as there is no 'hand of Allah' or 'face of Allah'.

                    These are metaphorical.

                      Highlight above is from me.

                      96,

                      And if anyone of the idolaters seeketh thy protection (O Muhammad), then protect him so that he may hear the Word of Allah, and afterward convey him to his place of safety. That is because they are a folk who know not.

                      How do you interpret, just for example, the above verse among many others regarding the word of ALLAAH?

                      Peace,
                      Khalil

                        Peace Muslims,

                        You make up your own definitions, but I'm the one not using proper reasoning?
                        I think it's impolite to laugh at someone, but you're pushing me.

                        God bless

                        peace

                        Peace hawk99

                        Seriously, I don't understand the significance of your objection. I have given you the format to show the flaw in your argument and you do not understand what it means. You are even making claims that the English translation is more accurate than the Qur'an, and without any valid reasons.

                        Allah never asked me to believe in the translation.

                        There is only one Qur'an, and it is in Arabic. It is not in English.

                        Main issue

                        muslims Arabic Qur'an without deviance (392

                        an Arabic Qur'an
                        without any deviance
                        that they might become righteous
                        (392

                        hawk99 Relying on the English translation as more accurate than the Arabic Qur'an

                        muslims Therefore, this is our issue

                        If you all are referring to a language other than english, Islam may mean many things,
                        but in English, Islam refers to a religion

                        Arabic is a "language other than English".

                        Therefore and according to you, "Islam may mean many things" in Arabic language.

                        hawk99 You repeat on the importance of English translation over the Arabic Qur'an

                        muslims Conclusion to your argument

                        Is this your argument?

                        1. "Madhab" is religion.
                        2. "Deen" is not "Madhab".
                        3. Therefore, Deen is religion (Madhab) in English.

                        Why?

                        Who cares what it means in English.

                        Allah never asked me to believe in the translation.

                        There is only one Qur'an, and it is in Arabic. It is not in English.

                        You are unable to identify what is an argument and blame on me for your inability to understand the process of identifying sound argument

                        In English Deen = religion

                        Salam hawk99,

                        Is this your argument?

                        1. "Madhab" is religion.
                        2. "Deen" is not "Madhab".
                        3. Therefore, Deen is religion (Madhab) in English.

                        No that was not my argument, those are your words not mine. nope

                        Please refer to the dictionary and root words for "Deen" and "Madhab".

                        So that you can see your conclusion is not corroborated with the actual premise for religion and deen.

                        Therefore, it is false conclusion (no. 3; ie. your conclusion).. a dogma.

                        I helped you to identify what is an argument and premises.

                        Do you know which is the premise and the conclusion (argument)?

                        Don't confuse the "premise" with the "argument" (conclusion, no.3).

                        http//z5.ifrm.com/30336/15/0/f5229388/argument.png

                        1. "Madhab" is religion. <- Premise 1
                        2. "Deen" is not "Madhab". <- Premise 2

                        1. Therefore, Deen is religion (Madhab) in English. <- Your argument, conclusion

                        If you all are referring to a language other than english, Islam may mean many things,
                        but in English, Islam refers to a religion

                        In English Deen = religion

                        You repeat and seem unfamiliar with the process of identifying sound argument.

                        You say,

                        1. "Madhab" is religion. <- Premise 1
                        2. "Deen" is not "Madhab". <- Premise 2

                        1. Therefore, Deen is religion (Madhab) in English. <- Your argument, conclusion

                        Again not my words, those are your words not mine. nope

                        Not only are you making up your own definitions, you also ascribe conclusions to me!
                        I'm a big boy I can speak for myself! I don't need you to draw conclusions for me!

                        There is no need for further discussion since you don't understand proper reasoning. It is just a dogma.

                        Okay, you don't understand "Critical Thinking" and how to use proper reasoning.

                        You prefer the traditional thinking method, the dogmatic thinking method.

                        Understood! handshake

                        You're never going to change my mind by repeating irrelevant premises and throwing false assumptions. How about giving me a logical argument that might persuade me to understand?

                        Ibrahim was not a Jew <- <- Ibrahim has no religion, so as Muhammad. Nonsectarian.

                        but he was (an) upright (man) <- showing a great concern for what is right, fair and truthful way
                        a Muslim <- Muslim = an upright man - a Muslim is defined by the above ayat
                        and he was not one of the polytheists <- Sectarianism
                        (367) Concern with right/wrong in religious matters - 3030-32

                        Why Muhammad was not a Jew or Christian?

                        Did he reject Allah's books?

                        God bless peace

                          You are diverting to another issue.

                          What happens to your argument/conclusion?

                          What are the premises to counter Sura 112?

                          1. Human beings understood Allah as God, among other gods. <- My Premise 1
                          2. Surah 112 said Allah is not equivalent to "God(s)" <- My Premise 2
                            (One... Nor is there to Him any equivalent)

                          1. Therefore, Allah is God. (among other gods?) <- Nazzam's argument, conclusion (flaw)

                          Peace

                          La Illah Ila Allah
                          There is no god, there is only Allah.

                            As for ur question, it has already been answered.

                              96,

                              And if anyone of the idolaters seeketh thy protection (O Muhammad), then protect him so that he may hear the Word of Allah, and afterward convey him to his place of safety. That is because they are a folk who know not.

                              How do you interpret, just for example, the above verse among many others regarding the word of ALLAAH?

                              Peace,
                              Khalil

                              Salam Khalil,

                              For you too the same answer;

                              It is metaphorical, just as 'hand of God' is.

                              Have a nice day.

                                As for ur question, it has already been answered.

                                Salam

                                It has already been answered?

                                Sorry, I don't understand.

                                What are the premises to counter Sura 112?

                                What Allah means when He says "Nor is there to Him any equivalent"

                                Does it mean Allah is equivalent to the same category of gods?

                                How many gods can you compare with Allah?
                                (make Allah equivalent for comparison)

                                Peace

                                Exactly! (read here, Why Allah is not God?)

                                To claim Allah is "God" means to set in our mind that there is God in Islam, God in Christianity, God in Hinduism, God in Buddhism... and Allah is one of those Gods, the only one true God.

                                Is this Shirk?

                                Nor is there to Him any equivalent <- including the concept of "God", it is not equivalent!

                                  You are even making claims that the English translation is more accurate than the Qur'an, and without any valid reasons.

                                  Again, your words not mine nope

                                  hawk99 Protest on the word madhab as religion, and relying on the English translation is accurate than the Arabic Qur'an

                                  I never used the word madhab. nope

                                  Peace hawk99
                                  Arabic is a "language other than English".

                                  True

                                  Therefore and according to you, "Islam may mean many things" in Arabic language.

                                  No, a clear misunderstanding of what I said or inferred nope

                                  hawk99 You repeat on the importance of English translation over the Arabic Qur'an

                                  I'm losing my mind here! nope

                                  Is this one of your hangups? Here I misquoted myself

                                  "If you all are referring to a language other than english, Islam may mean many things,
                                  but in English, Islam refers to a religion"

                                  I should have said,

                                  If you are referring to languages other than English, Islam may be translated
                                  differently, but in English, Islam refers to a religion" emphasis on
                                  but in English, Islam refers to a religion" I hope this will help you understand
                                  no offense intended

                                  You're never going to change my mind

                                  I believe this to be true.

                                  God bless

                                  peace

                                    Salam hawk99,

                                    No offense intended but nothing you said so far is an argument or make sense. It is merely a blank denial, shifting one issue to the other and deriving a conclusion without any valid reasons. Closed.

                                    God bless.

                                    Allah never asked me to believe in the translation.

                                    There is only one Qur'an, and it is in Arabic. It is not in English.

                                    In other words, your conclusion is irrelevant to the Deen of Islam. It is not Islam, and no real Muslim should be bothered to answer what is the true meaning of the Qur'an in the English language.

                                    Therefore, If you wish to believe the English Qur'an, no one is stopping you. One thing for sure, Allah only accepts Deen of Islam, and not Religion (Madhab) of Islam (385).

                                    an Arabic Qur'an
                                    without any deviance
                                    that they might become righteous
                                    (392

                                      I do agree with you on "hand of GOD" or " face of GOD", but word of GOD cannot be treated as metaphoric because time and time again The Qur'aan says that it is revealed in the manifest Arabic language. I mean in Arabic words. The prophet, pbuh was receiving the verses in his own language, in Arabic words and wrote them down in Arabic and recited them to his people in Arabic words. What is metaphoric about that? ALLAAH, swt spoke to Moses, pbuh. Was that conversation metaphoric too?

                                      Peace,
                                      Khalil

                                        The language barrier between us is too much to overcome.
