Free-minds states the views from different people (not ALLAH Alone) who write their opinion which must not be taken as fact. If you really want ALLAH-Alone and really want to say NO to anything else then say no to articles presented here as they are not from ALLAH-Alone. Moreover if you believe in the Qur?an then remember the Qur?an should be taken as a whole and The Qur?an means the original Qur?an not any translation. And you have no reason to cover up any Ayat of the Qur?an. Also you should try to understand classic Arabic. And if the Qur?an tells us to do some thing including obedience to a person then that must be done.
Don?t talk , Do some projects like Wakas or support Wakas , but in an unbiased way.
But a word of caution is that any person participating in such a project should do so honestly without any bias.

You can agree to my opinion or not. That's your choice and you are responsible for it. Or you can continue pasting/ commenting on it as much as you like.

But atleast Free-Minds isn't really conveying from ALLAH-Alone.

I won't be participating much in these discussions as doing is better than talking and projects etc.. are far better than discussions !

I am not a member of Free-Minds community. I am a Muslim and don't label myself as Fee-mind etc... But I won't become a community member just by your saying it as so or my joining the free-minds forum just to discuss PLL and PRL with Wakas. That's why I joined it. No other reason.

Then later I thought no harm discussing a few matters.

Even If you think so , your own opinion, but I am definitelty not a member, atleast not intentionally .

Wakas said

... but one should verify it. Simple.

Nice point Wakas. Verification is very important.

Free-minds viewpoint that I referred in my last post was "the articles found on the web site e.g. the main page article etc..., the views about other muslims like Sunni, Shia etc.. and the views about Islam, Muslim etc... "

Not to offend any one . Just a thought provoking article.

You guys call it God-Alone. But you aren?t doing justice to this claim.

Please read the following thought-provoking article. It is worth the time as it may lead you to adopt a more careful approach. Remember following an entire viewpoint e.g. free-minds?s viewpoint blindly is never the wise decision. One must always keep his mind open for better and better understanding.

1. First of all if ALLAH isn?t the name of our Creator then what is it. God is not the name and we can?t justify it from any evidence. Similarly ilaah is different and doesn?t mean god, which is itself a name given by Christuians or Jews and taken up by some Muslims wrongly . As when you say God, this word is not unique. We often hear words like gods, godfather, godliness, godesses etc?. So this is a word some people have manipulated. And this word God has been defined differently by different religions and even different people within the same religion . See Surah Ikhlas for a brief introduction to ALLAH. The word ALLAH is different fro Al-Ilaah .

2. So I will not use this name any more. Suppose you are talking about ALLAH-Alone.
   Then what are the sources of getting information from ALLAH-Alone. Form your posts, looks like you will only take the Qur?an and leave all else. So you say that the Qur?an is the word of ALLAH.
   Then I got news for you, the translations aren?t the word of ALLAH, nor their explanations, nor any articles presented on this web site, and none of these is from ALLAH-Alone as another person/persons i.e. translator or interpreter etc.. is involved and there may be bias in his opinion and other underatnding related problems.

3. So according to ALLAH-Alone, you should take the entire Qur?an as a whole and not cover up any Ayat. Only the original Arabic Qur?an can be used as this is from ALLAH alone and not the translations . Moreover the Qur?an must be taken as a whole. Don?t bring selected Ayaat from the Qur?an just to support your viewpoint. If you are really looking for ALLAH-Alone then take the Qur?an as a whole.
   ALLAH didn?t tell us in the Qur?an to cover up any Ayat. ALLAH didn?t tell us that the instructions given in the Qur?an are not to be followed. And if you believe in ALLAH-Alone then you should also obey everything that is from ALLAH-Alone and if ALLAH orders you to obey some person in the Qur?an then obeying that person is still obeying ALLAH as you are obeying that person because an order to obey that person came from ALLAH Alone and if you disobey that person you disobey ALLAH . You may understand Qur?an better if you understand the situation of Revelation. Also some Ayaat refer to Salat etc? You will have to go to the Sunnah that has been preserved via the practical adherence of the Muslim Ummah to understand it. Hadith require exhaustive research to separate the unauthentic from the authentic and plans are there to separate the unauthentic from the authentic . It is our responsibility to atleast try to find any useful information and this exhaustive research may give some useful results.

4. Do you know The Qur?an was not revealed as a Book, but revealed via Prophet Muhammad (ALLAH?s Mercy, Blessings and peace be upon him). ALLAH could have sent the Qur?an as a Book but HE Chose to reveal it to us through Prophet Muhammad (ALLAH?s Mercy, Blessings and peace be upon him) . Like it or not we verbally received it from Prophet Muhammad (ALLAH?s Mercy, Blessings and Peace be upon him) . The Qur?an has been preserved via verbal adherence of the Muslim ummah to it. Similarly the Sunnah has been preserved via practical adherence of the Ummah to it . Note there is a big difference between Sunnah and Hadith.

One more thing

5. Remember our eternity is at stake. Every single person reading this post or writing it will either go to Hell for ever or Paradise for ever. Life is not a thing to be taken lightly. One must be serious. So honestly ponder on the things I have discussed in this post. You will be held accountable for any decisions or unnecessary loyalty you show to any viewpoint. Everything you are doing is at your own risk and you are responsible for those decisions, you can?t blame anybody else in the Hereafter as nobody is forcing you to do anything. Its your free choice. Because you have been gifted with thinking, reasining, logical facilities so it will be better to use them as much as possible. Today we are in a tough time of confusion but that?s what life is all about. Life is a test and tests aren?t a piece of cake that one solution fits all, specially the test of life is a special one, won?t you try to succeed in it, by being unbiased and putting effort for better and better understanding. Moreover success has levels and the rewards vary, the Sabiquun will be Sabiquun in the Hereafter (See Surah Waqia ). Those who perform any projects should keep in mind that they have to be honest with the research and leave the bias aside.

(Ayat = A unit of the Qur?an, (Lit.) Sign, revelation etc.., wrongly translated as verse as some Ayaat are very long and some are like Alif-Laam-Miim ).

where did the free-minds view came from ! From ALLAH-Alone ?NO.

I prefer refering to the source. Don't take the web referral as a marketing excuse.

How is it ALLAH-Alone ? Certainly what this web site is presenting not ALLAH-Alone . Don't get offended. But I need to find out whether you are true to your claims or just don't know yourself what you are doing.

Do you believe the Qur'an is the Word of ALLAH ? Then certainly the translations, or explanations given by you aren't God-Alone as they include the understanding, judgement, bias, etc.. of the translator .
Only the original Arabic Qur'an taken as a whole without any preconceived plans to hide certain Ayaat and with a proper knowledge of Classical Arabic etc..can be used for what you are trying to present here in this web site What scriptures? you reject the Hadith, The Bible, etc... what other scripture is left except The Qur'an .

ALLAH-Alone will mean you only take orders directly from ALLAH without any person telling you which Ayat (sign of the Qur'an) means what and which Ayaat are to be taken and which to be covered up.

See the Ayaat I have mentioned at the start of this forum.

One must verify things properly for himself and shouldn't take anything for granted.

And that Article isn't ALLAH-Alone since it is just written by a man, who took selected Ayaat out of context and translated them (I don't even agree with those translations) .

Is there any difference between Qur'an Alone and God-Alone ?

It will be very informative to find what people adhering to God-Alone view have to say about it. but I would recommend post independently without reading the pevious posters reply. Lets see what each one of you knows about this fact.

Do note that previous question of mine. The use of the word God is a direct contradiction of God-alone viewpoint as it is not written in the Qur'an and we have no evidence from any other source of Islam i.e. Sunnah or Authentic Hadith about, whether this name was really revealed by ALLAH or not. It might have been taken from the use of this name by Christians, Jews etc.... am I right. Really looks to be a contradiction here.

Assalam-u-alaikum !

Peace safety be with you (all) !

I liked these projects (PLL and PRL) so much that I have decided to donate atleast 7 hours per week in these projects , because these projects are very important and I would also recommend all of you reading this forum to donate as much time as possible to these projects and participate in these projects. I would also recommend each of you to tell as many people as possible about these projects by refering to the following link. Don't forget to read
www.studyquran.co.uk/Projects_page.htm

You can add the link to www.aswatalislam.net on your web site resources if you like. Each and every lecture can be freely downloaded and distributed etc...

More than 250 different Audio recitations (all freely downloadable)

• video recitation

Assalam-u-alaikum !

peace/safety be with you (all) !

How will different lexicons be used in supplementing entries in PRL. I would like to know some more detail ?

$175 for Lane's Lexicon, looks far cheaper than that $450 Lexicon that I saw on the net and after that I found your post about Lane's Lexicon and then ultimately visited your web site and got highly interested in both the projects. How is the quality of this Lexicon i.e. it is atleast 2.5 times cheaper than that 2 version Lexicon.

I would like some details about the working of this project and all possible options of helping out in each of the projects.

Also tell me the names of other lexicons involved in this project and the unique benefits that they provide.

How much time is the root translating phase expected to go .

With The Name of ALLAH, The Infinitely Merciful, The Ever Merciful

Many lectures of Ahmed Deedat are freely downloadable at www.aswatalislam.net and also many lectures of Dr. Zakir Naik and many more scholars + Qur'an video and audio recitation and much more available freely at this web site.

Assalam-u-alaikum!

Peace / safety be with you !

PRL MashaALLAH !

Excellent idea, which should be followed by a comprehensive content and high quality implementation !

I don't have Lane's Lexicon yet and I should InshaALLAH be able to buy it in a year. Is there any more Lexicon that is compulsary for participating in this project. Any way I want to help out in this project some way.

arrow I think any one who is searching the meanings of roots in this project must have Lane's Lexicon (Compulsary in my opinion) along with some other detailed lexicon (Is there any original and detailed lexicon of Qur'anic and Classical Arabic to English? as the comments about that other lexicon don't make it seem so original and pure.

Where did the word God come from in God-alone. It is not written in the Qur'an or Authentic Hadith or Sunnah ?

Briefly explain in your own words what is this GOD-alone viewpoint anyway ?
