    @ enquirer
    Your signature statement says ?My guide is my consciousness?. To be a monotheist after your fashion I should have said ?My guide is my God?.

    there will come a time when you may realise that the quran is muhammeds interpretations of nature and morals,and not relevent to everyone and for all times. Why dont you use your own minds as well as muhammeds ideas,and verify them?

    Do we have any right to verify your ideas? You use your mind. Let us use our minds. Why are you pressing us to take your view?

      Peace prashant-kumar. Im not pressing you. You are the one pressing to change my signature. ! You verify for yourself my friend,thats the right thing to do,and what i try to advise people to do.
      My signature says my guide is my 'conscience',not my conciousness.

        peace enquirer .

        I find it astonishing that people need to consult an idol(the quran.) to tell them what to eat,drink,how to marry,how to treat people,whether its ok to pray physically,how to treat their mother of a different religion etc,etc...

        u dont need to be astonished about members consulting the Koran . because , as i told u before , this is a Koranic forum . havent u noticed the Koranic theme ?

        Peace savage carrot. I will try with the paragraphs...and you try to have an open-mind. Very Happy ....Just a thought... Exclamation

        Fret not about my mind...what about the possibility of a single thread for your issues? Like this one?

        enquirer wrote
        Peace savage carrot. Why should i limit my opinions to one thread?

        because, by your questioning the divinity and validity of the Koran in every other thread, it seems u are here only to convert or divert members from Koran and cause distractions in the discussions , instead of learning from the Koran .

        isnt that why u are here ?

        Do you or others do that? Are you afraid of the truth?

        our opinions are mostly on topic . but you only talk about koran being man-made, being an idol and about following other sources besides the koran .

        peace.

          peace darbari. Are you telling me that on this forum we can only speak from the quran? And what do you want me to learn from the quran? God is the teacher ,and i can learn from plenty of other sources,as well as the quran. You and others only probably feel distracted because you are being nudged out of your comfort zones,and being made to question and think... And hey,i cant convert anyone...only you can convert yourself...

            peace darbari. Are you telling me that on this forum we can only speak from the quran?

            no ,not only from the quran. thats why there is an off-topic discussion category on this forum . u didnt notice that either ?

            what i said was that u dont need to be astonished about members consulting the koran since that is just what the website invites people to do .

            And what do you want me to learn from the quran? God is the teacher ,and i can learn from plenty of other sources,as well as the quran.

            well , u see , this website invites people to learn about islam based on the Koran . something u dont want to do . right ?

            i quote from the main page

            This website has been created for all people who have a desire to allow God into their lives and follow His path alone...

            This website invites all people of various beliefs (Sunni, Shia, Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Bahai, Agnostic, Humanist, and even Atheists) to come and examine for themselves the system of Submission/Islam which is based on God Alone.
            ...
            ....

            WHAT IS Islam?

            The system of God "Islam/Submission" has been taught to us through God and His messenger and is fully outlined in the final Book of God (The Quran) which was revealed centuries ago...

            You and others only probably feel distracted because you are being nudged out of your comfort zones,and being made to question and think...

            u cause distraction when during a discussion u claim "koran is not the word of God!! this proves nothing!!" , whenever u are caught contradicting the koran . and then u change the topic ,or dont reply at all .

            peace.

              What does it prove when you guys say the quran is the word of god?
              You havent quoted a single verse to me in your previous post... and its not even off-topic... D We can all learn from many sources...Are you implying only you 'quran only' guys on the forum can teach us about god alone?

                this place is for learning from the koran , as i showed u the quote from the main page .

                What does it prove when you guys say the quran is the word of god?

                it proves that we guys already believe in it and are very comfortable with it ,and dont need to prove it again and again during a discussion .

                We can all learn from many sources...Are you implying only you 'quran only' guys on the forum can teach us about god alone?

                can u read this

                This website has been created for all people who have a desire to allow God into their lives and follow His path alone...

                the website invites to learn from one source(the Quran). not many sources .

                    Peace,

                    Say a prayer or talk to GOD or go inside! Search for wisdom and patience!
                    Let's contemplate on

                    • Choosing a wide discussion subject will always fail.
                    • a servant of GOD can not be reactionary

                    Sphere of disussion of GOD-CONSCIOUSE people has the DIVINE attraction.

                    peace,

                            Salaam all,

                            Just want to say that all kinds of idolworshipping is wrong!

                            So to make the Quran an idol is so incredible wicked and everything will fall apart if u do that.

                            To use Quran as an source of knowing things about your creator and other valuable behaviour recomendations isn't wrong and we should do that more of us.

                            Peace Sis Majidah

                              peace swedenMajidah. Yes,that is a very reasonable statement.
                              God alone,not quran alone.

                                to my understanding, quran is provided as a guidance AND my own interpretation on learnin it is challenge the contents of it in every aspect until you will finally found what you want. At some points, I think we are just ordinary human and found that the contents of quran is the truth. The point is, don't just trust it blindly. We have to use our potential to it's limit, i.e. use your brain, your heart, compassion ,etc. That's why there are lot's of verses in the quran refers to "knowledgeable person will gain more from it". Most moslems use the quran as the starting point, including me, but I don't worship it. It's just plainly better to have things for comparisons when you face a problem and look for solutions during your life time, doesn't it?

                                Yeah, sorry that I still struggle with my english at this point. It's not my mother tongue.

                                  Peace all. In the past few months i have seen people asking for verses showing its wrong to beat your kids,all the way to what is the destination of otherwise peaceful,decent people who dont believe in the quran. I find it astonishing that people need to consult an idol(the quran.) to tell them what to eat,drink,how to marry,how to treat people,whether its ok to pray physically,how to treat their mother of a different religion etc,etc... have you guys heard of your own minds,verifications and experiences?(17;36.) Dont you guys use your natural inclination to good/truth? If i see someone who is peaceful,then i dont really have to argue with him about his beliefs..his behaviour does the talking... The quran contains some spiritual truths,along with a lot of archaic,barbaric,relative,Time based and contradictory information. You guys claim its emphasizes the biggest sin is to indulge continously in idol-worship,...yet you seem to disregard that god can communicate in other languages and ways,and you make the quran the only spiritual centre of the universe and the criterion for everything else.(in other words an idol to refer to.) This is impossible,because you cannot seperate yourself from your own conscience forever,and there will come a time when you may realise that the quran is muhammeds interpretations of nature and morals,and not relevent to everyone and for all times. Why dont you use your own minds as well as muhammeds ideas,and verify them? Just like some sunnis venerate the prophet(which you guys mock and criticise.),well you guys venerate this book instead of god,thus contradicting the message of your own book.
                                  Peace all. Ps;when i say you guys i mean those who want a proof from the quran for everything,and think that human reason/verification is inferior or not needed with regard to the quran.( I realise that many others take good spiritual,relative lessons from the quran by using their own minds,and this can be a commendable and worthwhile activity in generating peace for mankind.)

                                  007.176
                                  007.176 If it had been Our will, We should have elevated him with Our signs; but he inclined to the earth, and followed his own vain desires. His similitude is that of a dog if you attack him, he lolls out his tongue, or if you leave him alone, he (still) lolls out his tongue. That is the similitude of those who reject Our signs; So relate the story; perchance they may reflect.

                                  Al-Qur'an, 007.176 (Al-Araf )

                                  So this example fits you.....

                                  Either a person follows what his creator says, or he follows his wish then he is DOG.

                                  I hope it answers you.
