I read articles written by Phoenic, but I never seen Phoenic face to face before... even if i seen his birth certificate and touched him.. i don't understand why he was born on such and such date nor at such and such location...

therefore is it appropriate for me to conclude, Phoenic does NOT exist?

Would it be okay if i post around this forum "Phoenic is fake." or, "Phoenic has no eyes" or "There is no Phoenic"

Is it okay for me to deny Phoenic's existent? because i don't understand? Because evident is not satisfying for me?

Should I stop ranting, find Phoenic, and talk with him? And trust in him after all this?

..Then woe be unto those who write the Scripture with their hands and then say, "This is from Allah," that they may purchase a small gain therewith. Woe unto them for that their hands have written, and woe unto them for that they earn thereby. (279)

Aren't we grateful that this forum serves to confirms there are such people described in the Koran?

Argh, which verse about the quran... that states.. For the believers, they add in faith, while the disbeliever move further away...

Aren't we grateful that this forum serves to confirms this ayat?

Cultures give birth to Religions. That's why there are so many sects of Islam and Christianity and everyother religion. Because people tweak it to fit their own way of life.
The message of the quran doesn't have to do with culture, though.

Salam,

It does. Interestingly, in regard to the issue of ethnicity, the quran verse 4912 is placed right before verse 4913.

"O you who believe! Avoid much suspicion, for some suspicions are a sin. Do not spy on one another, nor backbite one another. Would one of you love to eat the flesh of his dead brother? Nay, you would abhor it, . And fear God. Indeed, God is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful." Qur'an,

49 12 O mankind! Behold, We have created you all out of a male and a female, and have made you into nations and tribes, so that you might come to know one another. Verily, the noblest of you in the sight of God is the one who is most deeply conscious of Him. Behold, God is all-knowing, all-aware.

Salam everyone,

551 O you who believe, do not take the Jews and the Nazarenes as allies, for they are allies to one another; and whoever takes them as such from amongst you is one of them. God does not guide the wicked people.

I have never known what to make out from this particular verse. Does God tell me I should not be friends with Jews and Christians, "allies" as in a person who associates or cooperates with another; supporter? Friends are allies, so if I am friends (allies) to them Jews and Nazarenes (Christians), I am "one of them", "the wicked people"??

Peace.

in case, the link doesn't work, surah 60 touches on the issue of friendship. )

A prayer shared by alpha97,

Lord, make me an instrument through which all things can come. Show me the way to give, and give me the highest service I may do now - for the best purpose of All.

Whatever in the quran is the truth unless God corrects a notion.

moreoever, the guided ones are commanded to pass the msg to others.

Peace all,

I get mixed signals from the book.

For example 1421 is giving out the message that the person is entering hell becauase "God chose not to guide him".

1422 is giving out the message that the person is entering hell because "he entertained the invitation of the devil".

It doesnt contradict each other..

the person is entering hell because he is not guided by God, he is not guided because he entertained the invitation of the devil.. cause & consequence.

there's a verse which says, why would God guide those who deny Him?
another verse says.. if God will, all would believe...
.. there's no injustice, all will receive fully for their deeds
..we have free will.

p1. believe--> guided
p2. disbelieve--> wrong path--> hell
p3. we have free will choose between p1 and p2.
p4. All will believe if God wants it that way.

hence,

.. > "If God had guided us, we would have guided you"
...can imply "we're here because of the choice we made."

Salam.

according the the quran they shouldnt have to work - their husbands should be the ones taking on that responsibility and getting a job.

salam.
Hm, what verse is that..?

The quran..a healing and mercy from God ;D

Salamun alaikum.

The quran IS from God. I'm not going to debate its divinity. What i want to point out is that, denying Quran is denying God's sign(s), God's commands, the truth,etc etc. How can you say you believe in God but do not believe in God's signs, commands, message and not trust in God?? Those who disbelieve the scripture(s) from God, they are unjust/ oppressive. (1039) Be really careful in your decision and your speech.

1035-44
