    Peace khalil,

    I understand, however, there is a better way to answer that same question asked by nerspi. If a member asked me something like - "you think you know everything, are you god?" I would either ignore such a question, or reply differently, rather than say something like, yes I am god! )

    peace

        peace all

        Zen, I didn't mean to say that "I am God," but I understand. I try to pick the language that I think will best convey the point I'm trying to make (it doesn't work out very well sometimes). But I will try to be more respectful to others' sensibilities.

        Khalil, thanks.

        nerspi, you wrote (or typed)

        if another revelation comes to some 21st century messenger then it would be a good idea if he filmed it.

        and why isn't there a 21 century messenger? and why does God's message have to be revealed in episodes?

        well God can do more then send a message in a time where the only way to preserve the message was by writing it down on paper.

        i don't know why He didn't, do we even have to know? we can still follow the qur'an today.

        i still don't know what you want, lobster. a new book? an update? do you want God to appear to all humans? what?

        Is "i don't know" a good enough answer? why don't we know? Why are we making God do all these illogical things that even we wouldn't do?

        Al Quraishi,

        Could you please enlighten us to what exactly 'TODAY'S language' is?

        I'm pretty sure no one speaks the language of the quran anymore. We have to rely on dictionaries to know the meanings of words. And those of us who don't have the means to understand the language fully, are pretty much left in the dark.

        The Qur'an is certainly not 'torture to understand' and no, you will never know better than God.

        Going by the US government's definition of torture, nothing is.
        I'm sure you agree it's not easy to understand what exactly the quran is saying sometimes. And a lot of commands and punishments etc don't make sense. And there are so many different ways you can look at it, and even make it say what you want it to say (like any other book).
        Yeah, I don't know better than God, unless God is doing what you are saying he is doing. Then...I'm not too sure.
        My argument isn't that I am God, or that God is stupid, or that God doesn't exist. It's not that the Quran is a piece of horse manure. I'm saying that we need to revise our view of the quran. We need to revise our understanding of what it actually is.

          Hello all,

          Phonix asked me some silly questions as follow

          1. Why did Allah choose to deliver His almighty words by writing a book?
          2. A book!?, Why?
          3. Why a book? (See, he is repeating his bloody question, total waste of my time of you ask me)
          4. and why arabic?
          5. why did God preserve the quran and not the other scriptures that were supposedly revealed before it? (this is a common question on the kafirs web site FFI)

          Brother Quraishi was kind enough to reply to his silly questions, his answers to all the above was simply ? God is the most wise, he knows that which we do not know.?

          I admit I?m not as kind as brother Quraishi, however somehow my answers were sort of like what brother Quraishi stated ;? because Allah wants so?

          Mister time waster phonix who likes calling himself ?Allah? replied to my answers as follow

          Phonix said to Ahmed

          ?that too is an excuse to believe whatever you want. If you don't have an answer, just say that you don't. Don't give me this bull crap about what God wants and what God doesn't want.

          See ;? Don't give me this bull crap about what God wants and what God doesn't want.?

          In effect, what brother Quraishi and me said is BULL CRAP, sounds like BULL SHIT , but hey, possibly under FM rules, BULL CRAP is politically correct and bloody acceptable

          I replied to brother Quraishi after reading his reply and said the following

          Ahmed said to Quraishi

          See bro

          Phonix is clear cut ignorant and only talks crap

          Now, young gun and FM moderator Nadeem, didn?t like my reply , possibly it was not politically correct under FM rules or something, this is what Nadeem said to me

          Please refrain from such disrespect.

          Peace,

          Nadeem

          Ahmed says

          Mister Nadeem, it seems that you have jumped the barrel of your gun, there is nothing disrespectful in my comment, let me analyse it with you slowly possibly you may get it

          I?m sure the suspected contexts in my comment are only the following

          1. he is ignorant
          2. he talks crap

          Firstly I have to eliminate (he is ignorant) because someone like him with the ideas and non sense he promotes about Allah, the Quran and Mohammad must be 500% ignorant, being an ignorant of God is no shame really, the shame that someone who is a clear cut ignorant portrays himself/herself as knowledgeable who even knows better than Allah.

          Secondly I have to also eliminate (he talks crap) this is because he said the same to me just before I said that to Qurashi, did you see it or that was part of your bias? If it is part of your bias then I excuse you.

          Here is what he said again so you know well that you jumped you gun barrel

          See ;? Don't give me this bull crap about what God wants and what God doesn't want.?

          Hmmm, mister Nadeem, what do you think?, sounds like there was nothing wrong in my comment

          Can I ask you please, why it seems to me that you abuse your power that was given to you on FM?

          Please answer the above along with my other questions that I asked you earlier, you can simply dismiss me and not answer which is fine with me, this is better for me because there is no honour to know those who act the way you acted

          Let me now prove his clear cut ignorance in not knowing that Allah does what He wants when He wants while no one can question Him. The answer that ignorant phonix described as bull crap

          In the following verse, Allah is telling us the He made some messengers to excel over others, then Allah told us that if He desired we would not be fighting against each other now days regarding religion, HOWEVER HE DOES WHAT HE WANTS

          Of those messengers, some of whom We have caused to excel others, and of whom there are some unto whom Allah spake, while some of them He exalted (above others) in degree; and We gave Jesus, son of Mary, clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty) and We supported him with the holy Spirit. And if Allah had so wiled it, those who followed after them would not have fought one with another after the clear proofs had come unto them. But they differed, some of them believing and some disbelieving. And if Allah had so willed it, they would not have fought one with another; but Allah doeth what He will.

          (253)

          -> See, ? And if Allah had so willed it, they would not have fought one with another; but Allah doeth what He will.?

          In the following verse, we see a strange rule forced on us, the rule is while we are hurum (doing hajj) we are not allowed to hunt, WHY?, because Allah make the rules the way He wills

          O ye who believe! Fulfil your indentures. The beast of cattle is made lawful unto you (for food) except that which is announced unto you (herein), game being unlawful when ye are on the pilgrimage. Lo! Allah ordaineth that which pleaseth Him.

          (1)

          -. See, ? being unlawful when ye are on the pilgrimage. Lo! Allah ordaineth that which pleaseth Him.?

          In the next couple of verses we see that what phonix said regarding a better way of sending messages to humanity than the method Allah used is nothing but clear cut ignorance

          49 And that you should judge between them by what Allah has revealed, and do not follow their low desires, and be cautious of them, lest they seduce you from part of what Allah has revealed to you; but if they turn back, then know that Allah desires to afflict them on account of some of their faults; and most surely many of the people are transgressors.

          50 Is it then the judgment of (the times of) ignorance that they desire? And who is better than Allah to judge for a people who are sure?

          (49)
          (50)

          -> Firstly we read that those who hinder us from our great religion by promoting lies about it, were allowed to do so by Allah, He wants them to commit more sins? and do not follow their low desires, and be cautious of them, lest they seduce you from part of what Allah has revealed to you; but if they turn back, then know that Allah desires to afflict them on account of some of their faults;?, VERY CLEAR, again this is what Allah wants to do. He can stop them but He chose to allow them to do it.

          -> In the following verse we read something that should exposes phonix ignorance big time ? Is it then the judgment of (the times of) ignorance that they desire? And who is better than Allah to judge for a people who are sure??, SEE, phonix is not happy with Allah judgment and actions that He chose to do, phonix thinks that he knows better than Allah, well you have to know that phonix who surely does not know Allah at all was exposed in this verse, see how it says ? ?, i.e. ? And who is better than Allah to judge for a people who are sure??, i.e. phonix is not sure about Allah, but you know well that he tells us he knows everything and even knows better than Allah.

          In the next verse, we read that Allah gave the Kafiroon wealth and children to punish them with it, WHY?, again this is what Allah wants

          Let not then their property and their children excite your admiration; Allah only wishes to chastise them with these in this world's life and (that) their souls may depart while they are unbelievers.

          (55)

          -> See, Let not then their property and their children excite your admiration; Allah only wishes to chastise them with these in this world's life?

          In the next verse we read clearly that the losers will abide in hell unless Allah wants something else to happen, WHY? Again, this is what He wants

          106 Those who are wretched shall be in the Fire There will be for them therein (nothing but) the heaving of sighs and sobs

          107 Abiding therein so long as the heavens and the earth endure, except as your Lord please; surely your Lord is the mighty doer of what He intends.

          (106)
          (107)

          -> See, ? Abiding therein so long as the heavens and the earth endure, except as your Lord please;?, this is because ? surely your Lord is the mighty doer of what He intends.?

          The above is confirmed again, the losers will abide in hell unless Allah wants otherwise

          And on the day when He shall gather them all together O assembly of jinn! you took away a great part of mankind. And their friends from among the men shall say Our Lord! some of us profited by others and we have reached our appointed term which Thou didst appoint for us. He shall say The fire is your abode, to abide in it, except as Allah is pleased; surely your Lord is Wise, Knowing.

          (12

          -> See, ? He shall say The fire is your abode, to abide in it, except as Allah is pleased;?

          As Allah desired that fire will be the punishment for the loser, He also desired to reward the winners with heavens beneath which rivers flows, WHY?. He does what wants

          Surely Allah will cause those who believe and do good deeds to enter gardens beneath which rivers flow, surely Allah does what He pleases.

          (14)

          -> See, ? Surely Allah will cause those who believe and do good deeds to enter gardens beneath which rivers flow?, WHY?, well ? surely Allah does what He pleases.?

          The winners also will abide in the heaven unless Allah wants otherwise

          And as to those who are made happy, they shall be in the garden, abiding in it as long as the heavens and the earth endure, except as your Lord please; a gift which shall never be cut off.

          (10

          -> See, ? abiding in it as long as the heavens and the earth endure, except as your Lord please;?

          In the next example, let?s read what Allah says about Himself, not what ignorant phonix and others says about Him

          12 Surely the might of your Lord is great.
          13 Surely He it is Who originates and reproduces,
          14 And He is the Forgiving, the Loving,
          15 Lord of the Throne of Glory,
          16 Doer of what He will.

          (12)
          (13)
          (14)
          (15)
          (16)

          -> ? Surely the might of your Lord is great.?
          -> ? Surely He it is Who originates and reproduces,?
          -> ? And He is the Forgiving, the Loving,?
          ->? Lord of the Throne of Glory,?

          => AND ? Doer of what He will.?

          We have read above, that Allah does this and that, phonix wants to ask Him, Why He does this and that?, well here is a surprise to phonix

          He cannot be questioned concerning what He does and they shall be questioned.

          (23)

          -> See, ? He cannot be questioned concerning what He does?

          Let me repeat it to you phonix possibly you recognise how ignorant you are when it comes to God

          2123 ? He cannot be questioned concerning what He does?
          2123 ? He cannot be questioned concerning what He does?
          2123 ? He cannot be questioned concerning what He does?
          2123 ? He cannot be questioned concerning what He does?
          2123 ? He cannot be questioned concerning what He does?
          2123 ? He cannot be questioned concerning what He does?
          2123 ? He cannot be questioned concerning what He does?
          2123 ? He cannot be questioned concerning what He does?
          2123 ? He cannot be questioned concerning what He does?
          2123 ? He cannot be questioned concerning what He does?
          2123 ? He cannot be questioned concerning what He does?
          2123 ? He cannot be questioned concerning what He does?
          2123 ? He cannot be questioned concerning what He does?

          Salam all

            Peace Ahmad,

            I did not read the whole thread. I did not therefore choose to ignore something in order to sustain a bias against you. What I did read of the thread, included your remark. Which I found to be in contrast to good etiquette. So I let you know. It was also meant as a reminder for those who were equally deserving a remark.

            Nadeem

              I never argued that we should question God, or that we should disobey God. I don't think anyone on this forum has aruged that. I am arguing that God didn't do what you think God did, or does.
              Your single answer to my question has been "because God says so." That doesn't answer any of my questions. Next you'll be claiming that you are the son of God, and we'll ask you "why?" and you'll say "because God said so." I'm not saying you will do that, but do you see the problem with your answer?

                peace AB,Why did Allah choose to deliver His almighty words by writing a book? A book!? Why? I mean, there are so many other, better, cooler ways of revealing things, why a book? and why arabic? why did God preserve the quran and not the other scriptures that were supposedly revealed before it? Why don't we have any such scriptures from East Asia? or North America? I apologize for any offensive terms I may have used, so please answer my questions and don't "dismiss" me.

                      What kind of pointless debate is this???

                      Nuun, wal qalam-u wa maa yasturuun! Maaa anta bini'mati rabbika bi majnuun!!!

                      Why mention the inkpot and pen if the prophet could not write? Or is this an interactive dialogue while he wrote these words down on parchment himself?

                        hmmm, did the verse say the prophet wrote the Quran?

                        No it did not, the verse talks about the angels not Mohammad and not even the Quran that is been written

                        to be honest it is what you said that was pointless, can you see how pointless it was?

                          Ahmad, this seems like an interactive process of revelation... if you don't agree, then you don't agree. It's simple

                              Ahmad, this seems like an interactive process of revelation... if you don't agree, then you don't agree. It's simple

                              then tell yourself to agree to disagree and not call a 14 page serious debate as pointless

                              can you see where you got it wrong again?

                                Did I say the whole 14 page debate was pointless? I am talking about these recent posts... haven't you figured out that people (yourself included) are now agreeing to disagree?

                                  peace Ahmed,
                                  I guess you are trying to show that I was questioning God in that post. I wasn't. Well, I was, but I was questioning YOUR concept of God.
                                  I don't have a problem with what God says, but I'm asking, what is God actually saying?
                                  If you don't want to discuss this, then fine by me.

                                    Peace all,

                                    Part of the problem, perhaps, is that we have deviated the topic, the thread and even the section. It would be easier for everyone if these questions were adressed in the critical examination section maybe.

                                    If anyone has further points of discussion, please continue... welcome

                                    peace

                                      peace Ahmed,

                                      Salam Waleed

                                      I guess you are trying to show that I was questioning God in that post.

                                      of course you are

                                      I wasn't.

                                      you must be confused then, or how aout NOT SURE?

                                      Well, I was,

                                      See, you are not sure

                                      but I was questioning YOUR concept of God.

                                      My concept of God !!., funny

                                      Well, I have no concept of God other than what the God said about Himself in His Quran

                                      Now the God said in His Quran, HE DOES WHAT HE WANTS AND HE CAN"T BE QUESTIONED

                                      so my so called concept of God was 100% based on that, i.e. all the answers to you silly quesions are really one answer, THIS IS WHAT THE GOD WANTS AND THIS IS WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN REGARDLESS WE LIKE IT OR NOT

                                      I don't have a problem with what God says,

                                      hmmm, I told you, you must be confused

                                      but I'm asking, what is God actually saying?

                                      what the God is saying regarding His actions is crystal clear THIS IS WHAT THE GOD WANTS AND THIS IS WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN REGARDLESS WE LIKE IT OR NOT

                                      If you don't want to discuss this, then fine by me.

                                      well, I don't want to waste my time with those who are in doubt and are not sure, I would like to debate the firm believers regarding some issues in the Quran that they believe in, I consider you exactly as a member on FFI and I had enough of your non sense really

                                      Cheers

                                        "my concept of god is correct and any concepts which deviate from mine are therefore incorrect"

                                        "well i don't know if it's because god says so, but i think in this manner because i interpreted it that way so i said god says so"


                                        questioning what people say about god is not the same as questioning god... and if we didn't question god where would we be anyways? as though god wishes servants to be stoic robots anyways.

                                        at least lobster isn't blindly following conjectures... he is asking questions every step of the way along his path... i wonder if god will approve "someone told me god said so so i accepted it" over "i asked questions every step of the way and did what i felt was best at the time with the knowledge i had"


                                        We already know what this quran is saying. It is only a reminder. God's book is this universe.

                                        (italics mine)

                                        if people are ignoring or misunderstanding or trashing you it's because you are either crazy or on the right track... pick one P

                                          Right, first of all, Ahmed is using clear verses to answer Phoenix's questions; distorting what he's saying cannot prove what you're implying or defame him, using your little technique (far be it for me to put words into other peoples mouths but I've noticed you have no problem with that) Ahmed is simply saying 'My concept of God is what he clearly states in the Qur'an'.

                                          at least lobster isn't blindly following conjectures...

                                          Are you implying that Ahmed is following conjectures? Because all I've ever seen him using are verses from the Qur'an, is that what value you place on them?
