    Salam,

    But sis Samia creatures as such, (like animals) do not talk or spread the message of Allah. It could be the internet (a dabba - metaphorically) because it is creeping slowly and it is spreading the word of Islam. How many people found Islam or God Alone through the internet???? uncountable! people read, and research and chat and find more and more of the truth everyday.

    We don't know how we or any other creature or element was created. That's Allah's business. We were formed from dirt. inside wet dirt there are all sorts of living micro-organisms. Maybe everything (including elements like metal, gold, rock, earth etc.) came from water.

    We know that living organisms thrive in water. But there's no real indication that this dabba is a living creature in a biological sense.

    what do you think?

      It depends what you start with. If you start with the internet, you can see it fits the "dabba" metaphorically. If you start with the verse, doing cross eferencing in the qur'aan, thies will hardly lead you to the internet. Besides, the only exceptional thing about this "dabba" is that it talks to people. The verse does not say that it will guide people or will even talk sense. It seems it is more of a curse and punishment than merci. usually translated as "the word of God fulfilled, aka before judgement day". The verse, as I understand it, says "When they die, we will bring out a "daabba" from earth telling them that people did not believe in our signs". It's kind of humiliation that they are as dumb as a daabba (there is a verse in this sense), and so they only understand a daabba that's as dumb as they are. Could it be the daabba is just maggots in the grave, showing them that they did not believe in God's signs, that they would die and become just bones, when maggots eat them up?

        Interesting viewpoint that made me reflect. Many people came to God Alone prior to the internet via pamphlets thru the post. Also the dabaa cannot be something that spreads evil. The web became the ultimate tool of perverts, pornographers, child abuse, adulterers, etc. So how can it show to people that they are unsure about the signs of God?

          Very interesting discussion indeed.

          Well, why not include the computer along with it. The internet is a network of computers.

          How are computers made? Well, computers are essentially IC (Integrated Circuit) chips which millons of transistors on them. The fundamental material IC chips are made from is Silicon, which comes from sand - very much from the earth!

          "On Earth, silicon is the second most abundant element (after oxygen) in the crust, making up 25.7% of the crust by mass." http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon

            Internet is only a system to facilitate communication same as a phone, television, newspaper, post office, telegraph, pony express, carrier pigeons, or floppy disks referred to as ?sneaker net? before it and all if put in a blender are made of earthly materials.

            2782 is an allegorical verse in the category of 37 only Gods knows.

              The closest representation of "dabba" coming from the Internet would be a computer virus.

                        FYI, that's been happening in many of your posts. I am referring to this

                          It may be that that happens because I have a Mac, but cannot be sure, because with or without Mac I rarely get what I intend. But sometimes, when I forget, and I look at it again and don't recognize it I find it funny. In fact right now I wast laughing like and idiot at my own non-jokes and then I look to see who had writen that, and was bewildered. May be I destabile the emoticons or they hide from me, or go on strike. But the mac might be in for something.

                          By Mac I mean apple. giveup hmm hmm O0 O0

                              I came to God Alone via the web so could the creature be the internet instead. The computer never told me about truth, on the contrary. But the internet did.

                              When the Word falls on them, We shall bring forth for them out of the earth a beast that shall speak unto them 'Mankind had no faith in Our signs.'

                              Yes is about the number 666 and 8 31 1988. On August 31 1988 the IRC was first deployed http//www.livinginternet.com/r/ri_irc.htm
