Migration - The 'KEY' To A GOD Alone Society???
-
Salaam damon,
sure , you're right when you say that gangs are not as bad as in the us, but then again i guess these gangs are not everywhere in the us and may be you could live in a smaller town where things are not that bad.
Now, to gay marriages and that stuff. I believe that the fact that these things exist denote more the freedom left to the people - which i think is a good thing - than the actual state of society. I think gay people will be gay, if they live openly or in the hidden. I won't judge them even though i do think it's not "natural", and i would not mind living in a society where this is accepted - but ok that's me! But true, i'd go nuts about an all gay highschool - just because it's still kids ands no adults making their private choice. This is really crazy - where is it ?
KKK and aryen nation we have our good old integrists - specially salafist - going around with knife to punish girls showing too much skin and also trying to bomb places. Thanks to the power of the police here, 'til now they only managed once (16 of may was it 2002?). There's not much talking about this here, cause in general people don't know these things, but true, press is becoming freer now.
Ok, but enough of this now. I understood from the rest of your posts that our positions are nearer than what i first thought, so no need for further discussion.
Peace, Elke

Salaamun alaikum,
Tay Our job is to gain inner peace, and promote that peace right where we are. We need to contribute whenever we can, wherever we are. On the other hand, if you feel it is simply unsafe, then it is your reponsibility to your family and your self to get out of harm's way.
You're very right Tay, but do remember, the signs of Allah include the centralisation of the messenger and believers and we should experience these in our lives.

Salaam MQ,
Yeah the vote is no method to choose a leader/messenger
A messenger is a messenger and all will realize that.
Peace

Peace Damon, MQuran
Damon, you stated
I knew what you said in the quote above is correct all along. I basically wanted to see people's reactions here to such a view.
Nice job! You had me fooled.
M, you stated

Perhaps the unity comes in purpose, and not necessarily geographical locale??
Peace,

Salam Br Jaxal,
But Brother don't you think it is a must to have a messenger in God to lead a people in a community like the one we want and longing for to create!?
A leader makes me think of anyone who wants to stand in the frontline.
Peace

That's exactly right, Majidah. I don't see the problem in expecting a messenger lead the movement. Look at this verse
And how would ye deny Faith while unto you are rehearsed the Signs of Allah, and AMONG YOU IS THE MESSENGER? Whoever holds firmly to Allah will be shown a way that is straight (3/101)
So can we become kafirs now just because Muhammad ibn Abdullah is dead? )
A rasul is one who is the messenger in person form.

Salaam Br MQ,
Yes that verse says it all.
Quran is an ongoing Scripture so the messenger can be any messenger it depends which centuary we live in.
I truly believe that there is or going to step forward a messenger who will guide us.
And only we who have this right beliefs are able to witness him.
Nothing for the literally deaf and blind.
Peace

How many kinds of messengers are we talking about that we are suddenly confused on the defination of the word? When i speak of a messenger i mean the messenger of God like Prophet Muhammad or Jesus or Moses. Im not calling some tom dick and harry a messenger.

I am not concerned about any numbers. I think you are confused ?
There are people who believe that Jesus is comming back to lead the ummah and defeat the evil and so on. Mquran, is that what you think will happen? Are you expecting a messenger of God , i.e Jesus, to come down and lead you?

Here is what I am talking about if you are still confused. Can you comprehend what you are writing?
There are people who believe that Jesus is comming back to lead the ummah and defeat the evil and so on.
What has that got to do with anything MQ or anyone else on this thread is talking about regarding rusul as leaders?
Are you expecting a messenger of God , i.e Jesus, to come down and lead you?
Keep dreaming buddy. No one is talking about these things. No one is claiming rusul to come will be old rusul returning.

To this i said

I hope you understand now.

Salaam Jaxal,
Your latter statement is a tangent. MQ was not talking about Jesus returning. He is talking about a rasool to come. One or more at one time if that is the case.
So please, stop stressing your Jesus returning assumption because no one here BUT YOU is talking about such things.
