Migration - The 'KEY' To A GOD Alone Society???

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

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
do remember, the signs of Allah include the centralisation of the messenger and believers and we should experience these in our lives.
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.

Salaamun alaikum,
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!?
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.

mquran is talking about a messenger / rasool. And it this is different for the beliefs of OTHER people that Jesus will be comming bcoz.....?? Maybe he is not specifically talking about Jesus, but when he says messenger/rasool, who does it leave that is remotely considered to come back ? I know of only Jesus that is remotely considered that he will be comming back. There is no other messenger. Has God said there will be a messenger comming? Who chooses a messenger? humans? or God? There have been many acclaimed messengers like RK, Ilijah or Shareef. Do you beleive they are messengers? If a person says "i believe a messenger will come " i think it is safe to assume that he is not talking about some Tom, Dick and Harry. There are only one kind of messengers. Messengers of God. God chooses them. And i dont beleive any messenger is returning.

Salaam Jaxal,
(1) - Nowhere does Allah say there will be no more rusul.
- I want you to prove otherwise.
(2) Allah states that to each people rusul are sent.
- I want you to prove otherwise.
who does it leave that is remotely considered to come back ?
NO ONE IS COMING BACK!!!! My goodness man, are you paying attention?
Anyone who takes up the station of rasool will be such a one.

I dont think YOU are paying attention to what i am saying. Stop jumping to conclusions. To make it easier, i will use points
1] I DO NOT believe nor disbelieve that Jesus is comming back. I havent made up my mind on this matter yet. But nevertheless, i am NOT saying that he will come back.
2] There is only ONE kind of messenger. Messenger of God.
3] God chooses messengers. Not humans.
So even IF a messenger came, it is not up to us to choose him/her to be a mesenger. That is IF a messenger is sent. IF being the important word. Only God sends messenger.
(1) - Nowhere does Allah say there will be no more rusul.
- I want you to prove otherwise.
Well see this is the thing. A messenger is someone who is given a book. Like Moses was given the Torah. Jesus was given the Bible and Prophet Muhammad was given the Quran. Now, i dont find anywhere in the Quran which states that there wont be no more messengers BUT Quran DOES states that there wont be anymore more prophets/nabi . Hence, why i am still undecided on the whole issue of Jesus not comming back. And that is why i said that a remote possibility that Jesus is comming back. I am neither agreeing nor disagreeing with the statment. Im simply stating it.
(2) Allah states that to each people rusul are sent.
- I want you to prove otherwise.
I agree with you on this. Our messenger/rusool has been sent. I.E Prophet Muhammad.
