Peace ibn a I have nothing to comment on that.. Happy with what I have known... Hope you have reason not accept as birds and ants.. Probably you may be thinking they can't talk... So going for alternative option... Fine.. God guide us.. By the way.. The word used 'Tair" for birds entire quran with precise meaning.. So why you want to change only this occasion to something else? Meanwhile ant occurs only in Sulaiman's story.. So no comments.. But the word refer ant and with structure of the verses it is glaring..

A recurring pattern appears throughout the history, again and again and again. Yes. And somehow there was always a beginning and some civilizations and cultures claim to know how it all began and how it will end. Why do we even have this linear thought process till this day? Why assume that there was a beginning or that there will be an end at all? Certainly we can say that there are changes, new paradigms and rises and downfalls of civilizations. Life is eternal - death is an illusion. We experience it on different levels of its manifestation.

I'm using supernatural because I avoid using the term "God". It's also a way not to get into irrelevant discussions about monotheism or polytheism, I'm just referring to the supernatural, super - natural or above nature, which is beyond the world's projection. But my worldview is a little complex, there's a mono - platform with poly - individuality. It takes an A4 paper to properly elaborate on it, probably. God exist even when even no time and space exist. The fact remains the same, the people are cloning available atoms and aren't so to say manufacturing new "models". It's incredible nevertheless and could solve humanity's poverty as you could clone or replicate food from carbon. You could basically take any organic material from the ground and convert it to food to eat. It is not 'cloning' available atoms.. but bringing 'particles' into 'long held existence' before the particles goes into 'non existence'. Where non-existence defined as the suddenly appearing electron tied up with positron and then "poof", gone from this space and time. The 'laser' will be used to disrupt such cycle as thus the suddenly appearing electron will not be tied up with positron and then go "poof". This will also enable us to understand how "matter" get formed after the time and space has been spread out. It might not be practical to use it to clone or replicate food... given the amount of energy required to do so. The problem is that the human instinct will probably lead to the planet being destroyed before it can come to use and if it against all odds is made then it'll fall into greedy hands and people will remain poor anyways. The planet earth will eventually be destroyed.. but human might not take any part in it's 'destruction'. We have studied the lifecycle of stars and can predict that the same pattern will also happened to the star named sun. It will eventually died in an explosion, before doing so it will grew larger larger and larger engulfing the encircling planets. Yet human might not be exist during such time (approximately 12 billion years from now).. or if they do then human might have 'evolved' into 'something else'. But technically, no one would be forced to work for money and we the world could look like in Star Trek where money is no longer in use. However, the fighting is over the atoms/resources instead so that technology can be replicated. Sadly people can't be content with their mental ability and food for the day but need trophies. Human economical system will definitely evolve and new system might replace the old (current) one in just few centuries ahead.

Greetings and Peace, all group Zombie thread! I'd recently come across the idea of a basic universal income. Even if there are few jobs, under this scheme it would be possible to maintain a currency and rewards for extraordinary ability/talent/work. This would diminish the likelihood of technological stagnation, as there would be extra motivation to strive. Imagine having all basic goods provided for...and still having a nominal yearly sum to spend, and the ability to earn more (should one desire). https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bbzwJ0Sx48 May ALLAH see fit to Guide all seekers. peace ~Abdul-Hadi

Not were, but are considered honest and moral! "Brothers ? the white people are like poisonous serpents when chilled they are feeble and harmless, but invigorate them with warmth and they sting their benefactors to death. Live your life so that the fear of death can never enter your heart ... Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and in the service of your people... Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and grovel to none. When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself... When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose lives are filled with the fear of death, so that when time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home" -- Tecumseh, Chief of Tecumseh's Confederacy Some native americans even considered Tecumseh as a Prophet of the Great Spirit... There is a difference between yesterday and today. I won't deny that in other states some people still are living in the past. But in general, attempts have been made to correct the wrong. Native Americans can study in universities with easy to get grants of $1000 and enjoy healthcare for free while all of us have to pay for the same. Employment is also easy for them. Unfortunately, not many among them use these opportunities. I didn't say that it was 'wrong'.. since it happened.. then it all happened in accordance to God's will.. And we haven't dig deep enough to the "Native Americans" itself.. Who said that they themselves weren't robber?? The Commanches, Apache, Aztecs are known to have oppressed, raid and enslaved their neighboring tribes... The clashes were rooted in 'cultural' aspect.. It beleaguered the natives when european IMMIGRANTS came and claimed a portion of land as "their property". Such notion and concept doesn't even exist within their mindset.. ?What is this you call property? It cannot be the earth, for the land is our mother, nourishing all her children, beasts, birds, fish and all men. The woods, the streams, everything on it belongs to everybody and is for the use of all. How can one man say it belongs only to him? We do not own the freshness of the air or the sparkle of the water. How can you buy them from us?? -- Assasoit ?My reason teaches me that land cannot be sold. The Great Spirit gave it to his children to live upon. So long as they occupy and cultivate it, they have a right to the soil. Nothing can be sold but such things as can be carried away? -- Black Hawk Saudi citizens are still quite rich. I guess it isn't a news to anyone that the royal family is corrupted. Same is true for the UAE royal family. But they kept the citizens happy. Hence, no one complains. Rich? I don't think so... that is the 'image' being propagandized to the external world... Saudi Arabia Uncovered | FRONTLINE PBS https//youtu.be/UV5O-0sYmkI Yet the Saud ruling family kept the citizens CONTENT through brutal PUNISHMENT for the "IMMORALS" and "APOSTATES". Where the definition of "immorals" and "apostates" are entirely up to the them and most of the time it is very 'flexible'...

ration will decrease in next five years just to correct this sentence "Ratio will increase in next five years..

alien is not a good choice of word use for human(insan) in here at earth.. even if you use it literally.. what do you mean by here? do you find these similar human(alien) elsewhere ? The most appropriate term is "Extra Terrestrial" life form. a carbon based life being not in planet earth.. yes that will be nice technology i guess.. when it will come we will talk at that time...(right now we are in present point of life) what future behold nobody really knows.. The timing will be perfect.. FTL will be revealed when human has grown wiser... Among the criteria is the demise of their current archaic, insane and primitive religions... Which is happening as we speak.. status in progress Human spreading their religions across stars is a disaster for the entire galaxy...

And I've met in real life, a middle aged "Kuai Lo" (Chinese for foreigner) who received a kidney from a chinese man donor and after 2 years of having the 'chinese kidney' inside his body.. he is able to talk and read chinese fluently... without attending any chinese language lessons or courses... For those who have tried to learn chinese (both oral and the script) you understand how difficult it is.. especially for 'foreigner'.. Definitely sounds unbelievable, but my motto since teenage years has been "everything is possible, nothing is impossible". And the world is not as it seems, it is just a guise for something else. Be well Amenuel

Quote from www.quaro.com "There is a controversy among exegetes of the Holy Qur'an with respect to the prophethood of Khidr (a). Al-Fakhr al-Razi rejected six arguments presented by exegetes of the Holy Qur'an for the prophethood of Khidr. Al-Shaykh al-Tusi cited Abu 'Ali al-Juba'i and Rummani (d. 384/994) as saying that Khidr (a) was a prophet, and attributed the rejection of this view to Ibn Akhshid (d. 326/937). But he himself made no comments on this issue. According to al-Tha'labi, Khidr (a) is a prophet with a long life who is hidden from people. And according to Baghawi, God gave knowledge of the interior to Khidr through inspiration, and most scholars believe that he is not a prophet."

This is also why discussions and debate can - in some circumstances - just strengthen your opponents beliefs, and thus make him or her disagree with you even more. An empirical example is the opression of minorities - when Christians in Pakistan are being harassed for their faith, it only serve to stregnthen their christian beliefs. And when Muslims in Europe feel that their muslim identity is threatened, they often end up becoming more religious than they would otherwise have been. This is a form of being stubborn; you feel opressed and powerless, thus you identify even more with your position in order to 'get back' at your enemy and feel a sense of power. Exactly! Another example Destroying their idols doesn't makes idol worshipper leaving their idols, instead they burn the destroyer to death and they clinged on more to their idols.. Debating with the Rabbis doesn't make any of the Rabbis changed their minds, instead they crucify their 'debate partner' which they perceived as a threat to their hegemony. When 2 parties are debating proposing different opinions, the one who will get the benefit are the 3rd parties, the audience, those who are not involved in the debate. Their "survival mode" are not being triggered inside their brain, they have NO ATTACHMENT / NO SELF IDENTIFICATION to any of the proposed opinion / belief. Thus they can analyze any of the proposed arguments rationally...

Question jafar, The Quran speaks of people choosing their paths. So a psycho is bad to believers the good people or is the psycho-path just a way people turn out? A path that was choosen. I don't think that are sick or ill that just do one thing to hide another like everyone does. They are more important because of the attention they get and how far blown their deeds are. If Muhammad have the massage to one person and died he would be a loser but. He sent the massage to the worlds he's just one of the few who gained game without much unjustified deeds and actions. But ALLAH will justify him.

Well, enough argued about that. Language evolve into new languages.. to fulfill the same need, conveying ideas to other human. Embrace the change. as it's the natural order of things.. "No need good English laah.. I understand you understand enough already" -- Singaporean Taxi Driver, Speaking Singlish

Thanks for the enlightening and intriguing reading, Jafar. The "Shining Beings" are what is called angels in common mouth. But they do not descend from anywhere but eyes play tricks on people. It is the energy of their presence which causes a typical phenomenon of light. It is because they have no physical attachment to the world but seem to us like an anomaly in the spatial environment. God is everything, like "mono-pantheism". Each "Elevated Being is also an elevated "Who Is" of God, i.e. like a share. This way they can participate each one in managing the world and determine its fate. One needs to think from a perfectly monotheistic viewpoint without taint in order to understand. And both you and me can become those of who I was writing, if we put our minds to it. Be well Amenuel

Hawk99, Now you lie to make the words appear in your favor. I did not argue it means submission. Peace is an acceptable translation, but sound is more correct.

Think how terrible it would be if you were controlled by God against even your apparent will to make a clown of yourself by announcing you are the Prophet of God. I am a clown. See it -) That is why only the intelligent or seeing can recognize one

Javalatte, Hate is a word with a strongly negative and slightly offensive nature, and often used in cursing. Hatred is always an unwanted trait for a person realized in GOD. It is usually better to use a milder word. To not like wars or atrocities does any sane person. If GOD was emotional they would have come to an end. GOD still has to put up with the stupidity and delusion of man. GOD surely has patience. Be well

Peace Arman. In the "Aya" you quoted ,is GOD testing/commanding... Pharoah to slaughter the children of Israel? Of course not. Pharoah himself is choosing to do the evil. " GOD does not " Yamuru Bilfahshaaa"? GOD is saying this life is a test to Beni Israeel!!! Life is a test for all Humans." We all be tested through our wealth/children...." A completely different aspect. We choose to do GOOD/EVIL. That is the test. GOD in all His scriptures is only asking/commanding us to do GOOD! You will never find GOD asking /commanding us to do Evil, except in the cause of justice. We need to reflect, before we say anything about GOD? In case we end up saying ,about HIM,things that are not true. But of course we can always repent and correct ,if we are not deliberate. GOD bless you. Peace.

A nice website which presented an animated flow showing the migration of "modern" man.. From 150,000 years ago until 8,000 years ago.. or the time when (some) human initially adapted "Agriculture".. http//www.bradshawfoundation.com/journey/ http//www.3sigma.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Journey-of-Mankind1.jpg It's derived from fossil findings and DNA/Genetical tracing of human living today and the found fossils.. Some of the things which I find interesting Gigantic explosion of Mt Toba around 74,000 years ago, which caused massive extinction of living beings, including human. Post-Toba explosion of human migration from east to west.. (which inline with the evolution of languages from Proto Indo-European to many western / middle eastern languages) Multiple wave of migration to American continent/ The animation was created in 2003, since then we have discovered additional facts such as Neanderthal and Modern Human 'cross breeding' which happened at least until 40,000 years ago.. This additional fact inline with the post-toba east - west migration of modern human. They (re) reached middle east/levant and europe around 45-40,000 years ago.... the native homeland of Neanderthal.. The animation above doesn't show any mass migration which happened in the last 8000 years.. which includes but not limited to Massive human migration from Europe and Africa to American continent Massive human migration from Europe to Australia Massive human migration from Northern Central Asia to Middle East and Europe (Turkic/Mongolian invasion)

Yes and no. I am happy that God has blessed with many thanks, but at the same time, I feel that I have not done enough to express my gratitude to Him. Knowing that I live with a purpose. When I volunteer or donate blood, I am very happy that there is something that I can give. Being able to do good, and being in a company of others

May you be so spiritually whole, One can be a good person simply by adhering to and living by the simply list of commandments revealed to Moses and this covenant taken back then. The Torah/instruction, possibly keeping in mind what Jesus taught a while after that about the commandments being the least thing one should do. For example; "Moses told you not to commit adultery, but I say to you that the only one who looks upon another woman with desire other than his own has already commited adultery in his mind". He did not invent more rules, but he arose awareness that what God revealed to Moses is open to flexibility and it is the underlying intention of being of good behavior and deed that counts. The tablets on which the decree was revealed on was also a distinction between good and bad. The whole point in the faith is the distinction between good and bad, and to tread in the Light. Commands are very simple and for the right person it is not hard to live in the light as long as they do something about that ego. The ultimate person could even live without scripture as long as they keep their ego in check mate. It is no a secret that people like Abraham or Noah had no scriptures to rely on. Quran is more a resum? than something new. Be of one with God
