    SaLaM idolfree

    Where is the word "allah" in "islam"?

    Can you think of any other entity to whome we should submit? Submission can only be to 'Allah'

      Peace,

      People can submit to anything they choose. Islam does not mean submission to Allah unless it is used in such a context.

      Islam = Peace or Obedience

      Just like ahadeeth does not mean sayings of Muhammad, unless used in that context.

      Hadeeth = Story or Narration

        Peace,

        hello,

        also it does not mean peace unless it is used in such a conext, but again if the context means peace then it can't be "Islam" it has to be "Silm" or "Salam" but never "Islam"

        Islam = Peace or Obedience"

        I will take it as Obedience, but I can't take it as peace, because part of the religion is not peace when it comes to defending ourselves, because it encourges the fighting and not forgiving at that circumstance of aggression as well peace means "Salam" or "Silm" but never means "Islam"

        Just like ahadeeth does not mean sayings of Muhammad, unless used in that context.

        many of the hadith is the sayings of the prophet as well

        Hadeeth = Story or Narration

        Quran also = Story or Narration

        the question is is the stories told are true stories or not in both hadith and the Quran

        Peace

        Ahmed

          Peace ahmed,
          Your wrote

          Bro, what I said above is from the Quran "Not from me" i will show the verses later inshaallah

          Brother, what I am saying is also from Quran )
          you also wrote

          the request from people of the gospel to judge with what Allah revealed was at their time when there was no Quran, now a new request is on the table which is to Judge by the preserved revelation because they corrupted theirs

          No Quran? Brother if the revelation period is correct? Then this versed was revealed almost 17 years after the first revelation. My fair Guess is 80%+ Quran was there.

          How would you explain these verses?

          7159 Of the people of Moses there is a section WHO GUIDE AND DO JUSTICE IN THE LIGHT OF TRUTH.

          3113-Not all of them are alike OF THE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK ARE A PORTION THAT STAND (FOR THE RIGHT); they rehearse the signs of Allah all night long and then prostrate themselves in adoration.
          3114-They believe in ALLAH and THE LAST DAY; THEY ENJOIN WHAT IS RIGHT and FORBID WHAT IS WRONG; and they (hasten in emulation) in (all) good works; THEY ARE IN THE RANKS OF THE RIGHTEOUS.
          3115-OF THE GOOD THAT THEY DO NOTHING WILL BE REJECTED OF THEM; for Allah knoweth well those that do right.

          375-Among the People of the Book ARE SOME WHO IF ENTRUSTED WITH A HOARD OF GOLD WILL (READILY) PAY IT BACK; others who if entrusted with a single silver coin will not repay it unless thou constantly stoodest demanding because they say "There is no call on us (to keep faith) with these ignorant (pagans)." But they tell a lie against Allah and (well) they know it.
          376- Nay. THOSE THAT KEEP THEIR PLIGHTED FAITH and ACT ARIGHT VERILY ALLAH LOVES THOSE WHO ACT ARIGHT.

          BYE.

            Peace Ahmed,

            peace, consequently it does not mean peace unless it used in such a conext

            Indeed. I can be saying peace to you with infamy in my heart or say I am promoting peace when I am promoting mischief in the land.

            I agree with you.

            I will take it as Obedience, but I can't take it as peace, because part of the religion is not peace when it comes to defending ourselves, because it encourge the fighting and not forgiving at that circunstanc as well peace means "Salam" NOT "Islam"

            Okay, you can take it as you see fit so far as your knowledge is developed.

            peary of the hadith is the sayings of the prophet

            I'm not sure what you are trying to say here. That first word is really throwing me off.

            Quran also = Story or Narration

            I was talking about hadeeth.

            the question is is the stories told are true stories or not in both hadith and the Quran

            Well I cannot confirm the ahadeeth in alquran from a historical perspective but I can confirm them according the the clearest method of authenticity given me .

              Brother, what I am saying is also from Quran )

              Then we have a conflict here bro, let?s compare the two and see for ourselves what is the outcome

              you also wrote

              the request from people of the gospel to judge with what Allah revealed was at their time when there was no Quran, now a new request is on the table which is to Judge by the preserved revelation because they corrupted theirs

              bro please and don?t get me wrong here, I careless on when the suras were revealed, we have a book claiming itself to be the preserved words of hid last message to humanity before the judgment day, being a Christian or whatever the warning is for all

              I feel I don?r understand your point, can you please explain your point regarding following the books by the Christians, thanks

              How would you explain these verses?

              7159 Of the people of Moses there is a section WHO GUIDE AND DO JUSTICE IN THE LIGHT OF TRUTH.

              but when was that? Is it now, or then?

              3113-Not all of them are alike OF THE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK ARE A PORTION THAT STAND (FOR THE RIGHT); they rehearse the signs of Allah all night long and then prostrate themselves in adoration.
              3114-They believe in ALLAH and THE LAST DAY; THEY ENJOIN WHAT IS RIGHT and FORBID WHAT IS WRONG; and they (hasten in emulation) in (all) good works; THEY ARE IN THE RANKS OF THE RIGHTEOUS.
              3115-OF THE GOOD THAT THEY DO NOTHING WILL BE REJECTED OF THEM; for Allah knoweth well those that do right.

              as far as I believe the above verses were revealed concerning a few persists who embraced Islam like Assad Ibn Obaid and others, but again I don?t understand your point can you elaborate please before I discuss the verses in great details

              375-Among the People of the Book ARE SOME WHO IF ENTRUSTED WITH A HOARD OF GOLD WILL (READILY) PAY IT BACK; others who if entrusted with a single silver coin will not repay it unless thou constantly stoodest demanding because they say "There is no call on us (to keep faith) with these ignorant (pagans)." But they tell a lie against Allah and (well) they know it.
              376- Nay. THOSE THAT KEEP THEIR PLIGHTED FAITH and ACT ARIGHT VERILY ALLAH LOVES THOSE WHO ACT ARIGHT.

              BYE.

              The above 2 verses bro are talking about some incidents that happened in the past between Mohammad and some Christians, nothing conflicting here

              The Quran talks a lot about the Jews and the Christians anyway so if they have something positive it will be mentioned

              For examples Allah said many times that He preferred the Jews over the Alameen, would that be also a conflict as you see it

              Peace

              I can't keep up with the replys I have to make lol , sorry if I can't make a few

                Peace to all

                here is where the Quran says anyone who is not a muslim will be one of the losers at the end

                YUSUFALI If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah), never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter He will be in the ranks of those who have lost (All spiritual good).

                PICKTHAL And whoso seeketh as religion other than the Surrender (to Allah) it will not be accepted from him, and he will be a loser in the Hereafter.

                SHAKIR And whoever desires a religion other than Islam, it shall not be accepted from him, and in the hereafter he shall be one of the losers.

                (85)

                Peace to all

                  Hello again

                  I found those two interesting verses in the same sura no 3

                  003.019
                  YUSUFALI The Religion before Allah is Islam (submission to His Will) Nor did the People of the Book dissent therefrom except through envy of each other, after knowledge had come to them. But if any deny the Signs of Allah, Allah is swift in calling to account.

                  PICKTHAL Lo! religion with Allah (is) the Surrender (to His Will and Guidance). Those who (formerly) received the Scripture differed only after knowledge came unto them, through transgression among themselves. Whoso disbelieveth the revelations of Allah (will find that) lo! Allah is swift at reckoning.

                  SHAKIR Surely the (true) religion with Allah is Islam, and those to whom the Book had been given did not show opposition but after knowledge had come to them, out of envy among themselves; and whoever disbelieves in the communications of Allah then surely Allah is quick in reckoning.

                  003.020
                  YUSUFALI So if they dispute with thee, say "I have submitted My whole self to Allah and so have those who follow me." And say to the People of the Book and to those who are unlearned "Do ye (also) submit yourselves?" If they do, they are in right guidance, but if they turn back, Thy duty is to convey the Message; and in Allah's sight are (all) His servants.

                  PICKTHAL And if they argue with thee, (O Muhammad), say I have surrendered my purpose to Allah and (so have) those who follow me. And say unto those who have received the Scripture and those who read not Have ye (too) surrendered? If they surrender, then truly they are rightly guided, and if they turn away, then it is thy duty only to convey the message (unto them). Allah is Seer of (His) bondmen.

                  SHAKIR But if they dispute with you, say I have submitted myself entirely to Allah and (so) every one who follows me; and say to those who have been given the Book and the unlearned people Do you submit yourselves? So if they submit then indeed they follow the right way; and if they turn back, then upon you is only the delivery of the message and Allah sees the servants.

                  (19)

                  (20)

                  Peace

                    i think it is impotant to know when a certain verse was revealed, its background and the people who were being addressed, this helps a lot in the understanding of that perticular verse. I dont think it is his last message to humanity.

                    I feel I don?r understand your point, can you please explain your point regarding following the books by the Christians, thanks

                    but when was that? Is it now, or then?

                    its always.

                    corrupted theirs? what about our? is it free of corruption? we hate to see others attacking our religion, but love to attack other religions ?

                      I can just imagine the lot of you in heaven, still having debates and not being able to agree with each other. Sorry i won't be joining you because you see we sunni women are wicked and cursed.

                        Peace be upon you,

                        I find it interesting that when "islam" is attacked in the world, everyone can see how the word is associated with Peace, but then go right back to "submission".

                        Why do we greet PEACE be upon you instead of "submission" be upon you?

                        That which sister Tahira envisions as "heaven" is none other tan a peaceful state of mind.

                        Fighting the aggressors is "keeping the Peace", there is no contradiction in this.

                        The submission falls under "sujood" which means "hear and obey".

                        I agree they compliment each other, but certainly it is PEACEwe are after, the greeting in the Garden is PEACE!

                            peace Ahmed,
                            you wrote
                            bro please and don?t get me wrong here, I careless on when the suras were revealed, we have a book claiming itself to be the preserved words of hid last message to humanity before the judgment day, being a Christian or whatever the warning is for all

                            i think it is impotant to know when a certain verse was revealed, its background and the people who were being addressed, this helps a lot in the understanding of that perticular verse. I dont think it is his last message to humanity.

                            you see bro it is just going to open the doors for speculations, remeber verse 37 it sayd there verses which are clear and others which are not clear, the ones who are sick in the heart will chase the meaning of the unclear verses seeking discord, the problem is you will never now who is seeking discord or not, so it better to shut the door from the first place especially if has nothing to do with the believe in Allah

                            the people with knowledge should not even chase the meaning of these unclear verses, Allah is telling us that those knowlegable believers will accept the unclear verses along with the clear ones as both from Allah

                            those unclear verses are nothing but a test to the believers and their counter part

                            I feel I don?r understand your point, can you please explain your point regarding following the books by the Christians, thanks

                            what i was trying to say was that according to this verse the christians are being asked to pass judgements according to what was revealed to them by Allah in the gospel.

                            Yes but before it got corrupted, same with the jews, you see the problem we have that when Allah give the reposnbility of preserving His laws to the humans, they failed Him and ended up corrupting it, so Allah provided His last warning to all before the Judgment day and He took charge of preserving it, i.e. this is the law for all humans for 1425 years and will stay as is till the judgment day

                            7159 Of the people of Moses there is a section WHO GUIDE AND DO JUSTICE IN THE LIGHT OF TRUTH.

                            the request from people of the gospel to judge with what Allah revealed was at their time when there was no Quran, now a new request is on the table which is to Judge by the preserved revelation because they corrupted theirs

                            corrupted theirs? what about our? is it free of corruption? we hate to see others attacking our religion, but love to attack other religions ?

                            no bro I donlt hate others attacking my religion as long as they present their attacks in a politically correct manner, I always love to dicuss critics to my religion, I really enjoy it because I always find the answer in the Quran, now we have some critics in hand which are as following

                            1. I'm claining the bible (OT and NT) have been corrupted by humans unlike the Quran

                            2. you claim that the Quran must also be corrupted as if, no book should esacpe the human sickness of corruption to mislead their fellow human benings

                            let's debate it bro in a constructive manner and I will convince you inshaallah with my conclusion

                            peace be with you

                              Peace be upon you,

                              peace be with you bro

                              I find it interesting that when "islam" is attacked in the world, everyone can see how the word is associated with Peace, but then go right back to "submission".

                              I could not understand the above bro, sorry, can you elanorate please?

                              Why do we greet PEACE be upon you instead of "submission" be upon you?

                              bro what is greeting has to do with the name of a religion?, have we ever seen the christians greet each other by saying this "Christ"?

                              bro the name of the religion has nothing to do with peace greating, being peacful is just part of the religion, that's all

                              Fighting the aggressors is "keeping the Peace", there is no contradiction in this.

                              really fighting will keep the peace?

                              i have never seen this in the whole history of mankind, can you please give me a few real examples not metaphors

                              The submission falls under "sujood" which means "hear and obey".

                              sorry sujood means to prostrate to Allah and has nothing to do with submission to Allah, but we need to prove the submission with actions like sujood, fasting, zakat, Salat (sujood is part of the salat anyway)

                              I agree they compliment each other, but certainly it is PEACEwe are after, the greeting in the Garden is PEACE!

                              yep the peace of mind we are after and that can only be achived by Submitting menatlly to Allah

                              mate do you consider Allah is a real God or a metaphoric god?

                              peace

                                you see bro it is just going to open the doors for speculations, remeber verse 37 it sayd there verses which are clear and others which are not clear, the ones who are sick in the heart will chase the meaning of the unclear verses seeking discord, the problem is you will never now who is seeking discord or not, so it better to shut the door from the first place especially if has nothing to do with the believe in Allah

                                the people with knowledge should not even chase the meaning of these unclear verses, Allah is telling us that those knowlegable believers will accept the unclear verses along with the clear ones as both from Allah

                                those unclear verses are nothing but a test to the believers and their counter part

                                the verse 37 says there are two Categories of verses in Quran, but it does not indicate which verse falls into which category? and it is up to us to decide, those verses that cannot be explained in a logical way, we say are either unclear, symbolic or stories. why doesnt the muslim scholars
                                get together and decide it ones and for all, which of the verses fall under the category of clear and which are sybolic? instead of leaving it to the discretion of the readers.

                                  Of course it does not, it is designed to expose the people with sick hearts, however it is very simple to identify, if the meaning is not clear and can mean a few things or the meaning is crystal clear

                                  I understand that understanding the meaning can be relative from one to another, that is why what you will proposed is a damn good idea for the Muslims to do, i wonder why they never thought of why you managed to think of, that is also what I propose

                                  brother I am not sure about this corruption but indeed I have my doubts?

                                  bro you as a Muslim is invited by the Quran to have that doubt, I did accept the invitation and spent about 15 years trying to tackle that doubt and Alhamdulellah I passed that period for good, the Quran for me is one thing I take for granted

                                  so you can start by telling me how it was collected and compiled? and through what sourses has it reached us intact?
                                  regards.

                                  Bro we can tackle all these issues later regarding the collection and compiling, i know it all, but it will not be fair to judge a book by how it was collected or compiled 1400 years ago, because simply we will never be able to prove that what we heard is 100% right beyond reasonable doubt, like the hadith exactly

                                  but the point is the Quran is intact for 1400 years and this was enough sign for me to put the collection and compiling subject aside until I exhaust its content

                                  and that is what i did, I exhausted its content by studding it to the finest details even going through the hadith to see what all paries has said about it, as well it was compared with the Bible and the Veda

                                  the point is we don?t have many holy books around, we have a few, like the OT the NT , the Veda and the Quran, possibly the Dead Sea Scrolls as well, and might be another couple that I'm not aware of, anyway, it is very easy to prove that the Quran stands out high between all these books, it is enough that no human claimed to be the author, it is also enough that it was not changed for 1400 years and we still counting, as well it came with a built in challenges to humanity, which is to write a sura like it, not enough?, how about this

                                  1. find any grammar mistake

                                  2. find any historical mistake

                                  3. find any scientific mistake

                                  4. find any bloody mistake

                                  and yet no challenge was met by any human, jinn, or any other god

                                  it needs time bro to submitt, that time is years and years not months

                                  Peace be with you man

                                    peace Ahmed,
                                    you wrote

                                    the point is we don?t have many holy books around, we have a few, like the OT the NT , the Veda and the Quran, possibly the Dead Sea Scrolls as well, and might be another couple that I'm not aware of, anyway, it is very easy to prove that the Quran stands out high between all these books, it is enough that no human claimed to be the author, it is also enough that it was not changed for 1400 years and we still counting, as well it came with a built in challenges to humanity, which is to write a sura like it, not enough?, how about this

                                    This challenge was not made to humanity, as there was no electronic media to convey this challenge to the rest of the world, it was a challenge made to a group of people in Mecca, and most of them could not even read.
                                    ab says

                                    1. find any grammar mistake

                                    How can there be any grammatical mistakes now? When for centuries it has been corrected by thousands of scholars. But still I will search for these mistakes and let you know, so that you may explain them to me
                                    Only by its teachings, its principles, and content can a book be judged rightly; not by its eloquence, elegance, or poetic strength"
                                    In every written language there must be a "best piece" of literature. Take for example the Rig-Veda of India (1,000- 1,500 B.C.), or the eloquent poems in Greek, the Odyssey and the Iliad by Homer, or the Gilgamesh Epic, the Code of Hammurabi, and the Book of the Dead from Egypt, all which are considered classic masterpieces, and all of which predate the Qur'an.
                                    ab says

                                    1. find any historical mistake

                                    The Qur'an explicitly denies that Jesus was crucified. It claims that the Jews became so confused that they crucified somebody else instead who had the likeness of Christ. It is recorded in the Qur'an 415,
                                    "They slew him not nor crucified but it appeared so unto them."
                                    In many places, the Qur'an mentions Mary as the sister of Moses and Aaron and the daughter of Imran. The Qur'an has confused Jesus' mother with Aaron's sister because both of them carry the same name, though there are several centuries between them. The Qur'an indicates that Mary (Christ's mother) had a brother whose name was Aaron (chapter 192 and a father whose name is Imran (chapter 6612). Their mother was called "the wife of Imran" (chapter 335) which eliminates any doubt that it confuses Mary, mother of Jesus, with Mary, sister of Aaron.

                                    The Qur'an claims that Haman was pharaoh's prime minister even though Haman lived in Babylon one thousand years later? Yet the Qur'an says so. The Qur'an says that the one who picked Moses from the river was not his sister but his mother (286-, and that a Samaritan was the one who molded the golden calf for the children of Israel and misguided them, and the golden calf was lowing (refer to chapter 2085-8 though it is well-known that Samaria was not in existence at that time. The Samaritans came after the Babylonian exile. How could one of them have made the golden calf for the people of Israel?

                                    Concerning the birth of Christ, the Qur'an teaches that the Virgin Mary gave birth to him under the shade of a palm tree and not in a manger of sheep (refer to Mary 1923). The Qur'an ignores all the documented historical evidence available to all people across the ages and brings us new discoveries
                                    ab says

                                    1. find any scientific mistake

                                    "When he reached the setting place of the sun, he found it setting in a muddy spring and found a people thereabout. We said ?O Dhul-Qarneyn! Either punish or show them kindness"? (Surah 1886).
                                    1519-And the earth We have spread out (like a carpet); set thereon mountains firm and immovable; and produced therein all kinds of things in due balance.
                                    ab says

                                    1. find any bloody mistake

                                    Do they not ponder on the Qur'an?
                                    Had it been from other than Allah,
                                    they would surely have found therein much discrepancy.-- Sura 482
                                    Since this verse is claiming that there is "no contradiction / discrepancy" in the Qur'an, therefore itself has to be part of the list of contradictions because it contradicts the existence of the contradictions.
                                    ab says

                                    and yet no challenge was met by any human, jinn, or any other god .

                                    There are no other gods, we don?t know anything about jinn except that they are mentioned in Quran so we are left with only humane beings to meet this challenge.

                                    Regards.

                                      I will classify what you said as hearsay, and the onus is on you to provide compelling evidences

                                      now my say is the Quran never been changed since day one it was revealed

                                      But still I will search for these mistakes and let you know, so that you may explain them to me

                                      I would love to bro, I have been doing this for over a year with malicious enemy of islam, I know all the alleged mistakes and you will find many web sites posting them you won't search for long indeed, but in refuting it bro we have one main rule, no language will be held agaisnt the Quran but the original arabic language, and there will be a few other small rules when we start, it is only to make it constructive

                                      Only by its teachings, its principles, and content can a book be judged rightly; not by its eloquence, elegance, or poetic strength"
                                      In every written language there must be a "best piece" of literature. Take for example the Rig-Veda of India (1,000- 1,500 B.C.), or the eloquent poems in Greek, the Odyssey and the Iliad by Homer, or the Gilgamesh Epic, the Code of Hammurabi, and the Book of the Dead from Egypt, all which are considered classic masterpieces, and all of which predate the Qur'an.

                                      then sorry I should add what you mentioned as well eloquence, elegance, or poetic strength, however I'm talking about content for an average person who knows nothing about poetry

                                      ab says

                                      1. find any historical mistake

                                      The Qur'an explicitly denies that Jesus was crucified. It claims that the Jews became so confused that they crucified somebody else instead who had the likeness of Christ. It is recorded in the Qur'an 415,
                                      "They slew him not nor crucified but it appeared so unto them."

                                      yep and I will prove it to you that Jesus was not crusified

                                      this is contradiction no 1 . that I have to reply to now

                                      In many places, the Qur'an mentions Mary as the sister of Moses and Aaron and the daughter of Imran. The Qur'an has confused Jesus' mother with Aaron's sister because both of them carry the same name, though there are several centuries between them. The Qur'an indicates that Mary (Christ's mother) had a brother whose name was Aaron (chapter 192 and a father whose name is Imran (chapter 6612). Their mother was called "the wife of Imran" (chapter 335) which eliminates any doubt that it confuses Mary, mother of Jesus, with Mary, sister of Aaron.

                                      here we go, I reqeuested please to debate one point at a time

                                      now we have another contradiction for me to respond to

                                      The Qur'an claims that Haman was pharaoh's prime minister even though Haman lived in Babylon one thousand years later? Yet the Qur'an says so. The Qur'an says that the one who picked Moses from the river was not his sister but his mother (286-, and

                                      now we have contradiction no 3

                                      it seems you totally ignored my reqauest to debate one at a time

                                      please mate, wasn't I clear enough when I requested that?, i'm sorry if i wasn't, but please can we do one contradiction at a time

                                      my reply for each will not going to be a line and half, I will provide compelling evidences to refute it for good

                                      that a Samaritan was the one who molded the golden calf for the children of Israel and misguided them, and the golden calf was lowing (refer to chapter 2085-8 though it is well-known that Samaria was not in existence at that time. The Samaritans came after the Babylonian exile. How could one of them have made the golden calf for the people of Israel?

                                      contradiction no 4

                                      well I will respond to all in oprder

                                      Concerning the birth of Christ, the Qur'an teaches that the Virgin Mary gave birth to him under the shade of a palm tree and not in a manger of sheep (refer to Mary 1923). The Qur'an ignores all the documented historical evidence available to all people across the ages and brings us new discoveries
                                      ab says

                                      contradiction no 5

                                      as i said will be responded to in order

                                      1. find any scientific mistake

                                      "When he reached the setting place of the sun, he found it setting in a muddy spring and found a people thereabout. We said ?O Dhul-Qarneyn! Either punish or show them kindness"? (Surah 1886).

                                      contradiction no 5

                                      you totally ignored my request and i reckon it is deliberate now, lol

                                      1519-And the earth We have spread out (like a carpet); set thereon mountains firm and immovable; and produced therein all kinds of things in due balance.

                                      contradiction no 6

                                      in order mate, please be patient

                                      ab says

                                      1. find any bloody mistake

                                      Do they not ponder on the Qur'an?
                                      Had it been from other than Allah,
                                      they would surely have found therein much discrepancy.-- Sura 482
                                      Since this verse is claiming that there is "no contradiction / discrepancy" in the Qur'an, therefore itself has to be part of the list of contradictions because it contradicts the existence of the contradictions.

                                      contradiction no 7

                                      ab says

                                      and yet no challenge was met by any human, jinn, or any other god .

                                      There are no other gods,

                                      sorry, there are a lot of people who claim there is other gods, like the hindu for example they have millions of gods, and the christians they have 3 gods and many other flawed concepts that have no proof

                                      we don?t know anything about jinn except that they are mentioned in Quran so we are left with only humane beings to meet this challenge.

                                      well if the Quran is proven to be divine and uncorrupt then what it says about the Jinn must be true

                                      however I will acceot for the time being that the challenge was to humans only, did they bloody manage to pass it in 1400 years? no

                                      also I thought you are a new muslim, but it seems to me that you are not muslim at all, am i right?

                                      for the 7 contradictions you posted, I will respond to one at a time in a new thread addressed to you

                                      peace

                                        peace Ahmed,
                                        you wrote

                                        also I thought you are a new muslim, but it seems to me that you are not muslim at all, am i right?

                                        no brother you are absolutely wrong, Alhamdu lilla i am proud of being a muslim, I cannot tell you about my family for the fear of retribution, but I will tell you i am from a very prominent family in pakistan, my father was in showbiz, and there are dozens of web sites dedicated to him, during the last two decades he said goodbye to showbiz and dedicated all his energy and time in social work and to develop religious harmony amongst the different sects of Islam. he passed away in 1999. today he is not only remembered for his contribution in showbiz but he is also remembered as a religious scholar.
                                        so please dont judge me on the basis of my confusion, I am a scorpio and by nature I am inquisitive and unlike my family I dont believe in blind faith now.
                                        regards.
