    Salaam ignoramus

    According to the above what is the relation between God and the balck stone? Do you mean it reminds them of God or it is a representation of Him?

    They are told that its the foundation stone that Abraham used, so they kiss it as a sign of respect. It reminds them I think of Abraham. I am not sure how they know its the same stone.

    2.124-129 And remember that Abraham was tried by his Lord with certain commands, which he fulfilled He said "I will make thee an Imam to the Nations." He pleaded "And also from my offspring!" He answered "But My Promise is not within the reach of evil-doers." Remember We made the House a place of assembly for men and a place of safety; and take ye the station of Abraham as a place of prayer; and We covenanted with Abraham and Isma'il, that they should sanctify My House for those who compass it round, or use it as a retreat, or bow, or prostrate themselves (therein in prayer). And remember Abraham said "My Lord, make this a City of Peace, and feed its people with fruits,-such of them as believe in God and the Last Day." He said "(Yea), and such as reject Faith,-for a while will I grant them their pleasure, but will soon drive them to the torment of Fire,- an evil destination (indeed)!", And remember Abraham and Isma'il raised the foundations of the House (With this prayer) "Our Lord! Accept from us For Thou art the All-Hearing, the All-knowing. "Our Lord! make of us Muslims, bowing to Thy (Will), and of our progeny a people Muslim, bowing to Thy (will); and show us our place for the celebration of rites; and turn unto us ; for Thou art the Oft-Returning, Most Merciful. "Our Lord! send amongst them an Messenger of their own, who shall rehearse Thy Signs to them and instruct them in scripture and wisdom, and sanctify them For Thou art the Exalted in Might, the Wise."

    (124) (125) (126) (127) (12 (129)

    Also

    22.25-29. 25. As to those who have rejected God, and would keep back (men) from the Way of God, and from the Sacred Mosque, which We have made to men - equal is the dweller there and the visitor from the country - and any whose purpose therein is profanity or wrong-doing - them will We cause to taste of a most Grievous Penalty, Behold! We gave the site, to Abraham, of the House, (saying) "Associate not anything with Me; and sanctify My House for those who compass it round, or stand up, or bow, or prostrate themselves, "And proclaim the Pilgrimage among men they will come to thee on foot and on every kind of camel, lean on account of journeys through deep and distant mountain highways; "That they may witness the benefits for them, and celebrate the name of God, through the Days appointed, over the cattle which He has provided for them then eat ye thereof and feed the distressed ones in want., "Then let them complete the rites prescribed for them, perform their vows, and circumambulate the Ancient House."

    (25) (26) (27) (2

    What is the House here talking about? Is it in Mecca? Or is it something else?

      I know reminding you of this

      Quote from Samia on October 05, 2007, 044858 AM
      when you discarded even reasoning for some nonesense uttered by an anonymous scholar, as your believing that Mecca is Faarraan , or that the meaning of "masjidan Diraaran in " means "a mosque called Zirar, or "a guy called Zirar built a mosque" because some "Muslim scholar" said so.

      Do you really need such explanation?

      is quite embarrassing, but that's not an excuse to forfeit good manners and revert to name calling.

      I can understand Samia you are having a hard time, and all those who support Falsehood have hard time, that is natrual.

      First none of your post up till now was of that standard, that while answering it some one can feel difficulty embarrass.
      Secondly What do you mean be Good manners? where did you felt that in my post?
      Thirdly reagrding SAM, my sister-in-law who also happens to be my second cousin and she is a Doctor (MD) by profession, her name is SAMIA and I often call her Dr. SAM, so if this is the reason you are getting annoyed, then brickwall

        Of course I believe there 's a "qibla" on which I focus while praying. Why would I face a "thing"?

        Oh! Samia, you have closed your eyes. If the "Qibla" is not a Physical direction, then why did ALLAH CHANGED THE QIBLA??

            Dear Ayman
            Still waiting for your reply about "Concrete Proof from the Holy Quran for existing of idols in the Baitullah "
            Regards

            And may be you will have to wait for very long. I am still waiting for telling me from Quran that Allah ordered to change the location of his House?

            Ayman with his egoistic behavior will keep on saying what he thinks is right without pondering for a moment at others arguments.

            Allen to Ayman

            So you admit that that there is no Quranic Proof that Baituallah had Idols ??

            What else?

                just because the mosque in mecca contains things which may have been previously idolised and worshipped, does not mean that anyone who prays in the direction of mecca is worshipping those idols.

                Exactly.

                Bigmo from Quran

                Then let them complete the rites prescribed for them, perform their vows, and circumambulate the Ancient House."

                Do you read the word "Ancient" dear Samia?

                  We are all here to learn. The Koran is very challenging. At least we are all trying, and she is trying. Why this accusations?

                        You are right.He always circumvent the real question and goes on talking about irrelavent things and thinks that it is the answer.I had this experience while discussing "Ramadaan".He put some "Rumdan/Ramdan" theory and said that word Ramadaan was revealed as "Ramdan/Rumdan" but failed to provide proof and went on circumventing.Now he says he provided the proof.
                        Now he is again persistantly evading the question and will say that he provided the proof.
                        Delusional disorder has no Remedy.

                          Peace all,

                          Who assigned the first "qibla", when, and what direction was it?

                          Jews always try to face Jerusalem and will never turn?

                          "Most Diaspora Jews face the traditional Mizrah (East) when they pray,...Christian Zionists who love Israel also have the habit of praying towards Jerusalem - or towards where they think Jerusalem is."

                          (&#1640

                          2198 There is no sin on you if you seek the Bounty of your Lord. Then when you leave 'Araf?t, remember All?h at the Mash'ar-il-Har?m. And remember Him as He has guided you, and verily, you were, before, of those who were astray.

                          Where/what is Mash'ar-il-Har?m?

                          Anyone ? is the above a state-of-mind or physical place?

                              In any case if masjid al haram is a physical place than the Ka'aba fails the 'purity' test. Remember Abraham and his son had to 'purify' it, and kaaba is far from pure.

                                  Thanks for your reply. Do you mean that God assigned Jeurasalem a "qibla" to the Jews?

                                  As for " mash3ar",, if you do a search for the root sheen 3ain raa, there are two original meanings hair and knowledge/comprehension; milestone.

                                  could be the noun of place of the , plural of cow or she camel fattened for slaughter and given for free

                                  (from al-Qaamuuaul Muheet)

                                  or it could be a noun (masdar meemi), in this case it will be knowledge
                                  Of course I found meanings as ( activities of hajj or places such as Muzdalifa...), but no linguistic support for that. The dictionary even explains that a place would be called "mash3ar" if it has a lot of trees and wild animals in it

                                  (From Lisaanul 3arab)
                                  .

                                        Of course I found meanings as ( activities of hajj or places such as Muzdalifa...), but no linguistic support for that. The dictionary even explains that a place would be called "mash3ar" if it has a lot of trees and wild animals in it

                                          By linguistic support, I mean the dictionary takes you from the root towards the words derived from it, and you understat nd the relation between a meaning and a root, even if it is remote. I mentioned "milestones" as a word related to one of the two meanings of "sheen 3ain raa" knowledge. I also mentioned "sha3eera" as related to "sha3r" as stated by the dictionary. What's the relation of "Muzdalifa" to any of these meanings?

                                          Forget about the alif laam; mash3ar is singular.
                                          Let's look at your quotes from the dictionaries

                                          1. shi3aar means sign. This is not the word mentioned in the verse.
                                            Further more, when it is plural it is the plural of a completely different word hair

                                          From Lisaanul 3arab

                                          .

                                          It is not the plural of "sha3iira", which is not the word mentioned, either.

                                          1. Your quote then states (al mash3ar is the milestone and something worshiped(??) .) That's what I call (no linguistic support), and I mean the word "worshipped". On what basis is "shrine" part of this root? How is this meaning linguistically supported?

                                          This is one of two cases where "mash3ar" is mentioned in all of your cut-and-paste, stating that it means milestone (correct) and shrine (clearly inserted without any basis)

                                          And as I already mentioned, the other occurrence for mash3ar is that it means Muzdalifa...why Muzdalifa? Why not 3arafa or Mena? Why would it be a "milestone"? Or is it a "worshipped" place and I don't know? What's special about it and what's its importance in the "hajj" apart from collecting pebbles from it to stone the devil ?
