Where did you get the partial copy? i'd love a taste-test )

Did anyone here ever purchase this? i would like to order it, but not if it did not turn out to be what it seems to be. How many pages does it have of photographed text? Is it a complete compilation of the manuscript, or only partial?

Do you see any aya telling us to accept any "books", plural? Allah, sent His BOOK, singular.

This is not the whole story. The Qur'aan calls the Tawrah, Zaboor and Injeel AS WELL AS the "Furqaan" by the singular name "Kitaab Allaah."

It's important not to distort by taking aayaat out of context of the other aayaat.

Bear in mind that ARABS were as involved in the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade as "white" people (whatever that means, as it is a largely American political construct). A big difference is that Arabs countries didn't outlaw the same slavery until much later. If Malcolm X had gone to Saudi early in his career he would have seen that slavery was not yet prohibited under law!

As-salaamu `alaykum

Listen, i don't agree with many things in that post, foremost that people who "devoted their lives" to something are somehow most knowledgeable about it. Sun, Lu-T'ang, for instance, studied T'aijiquan for 2 weeks before mastering it; because of his mastery of RELATED arts. But i digress (or so it might seem...)

Anyway, there is an important point in this gentleman's argument that you might want to heed that is, are you just as blindly accepting translations that you are not certain of as the general Ummahists are? Might then your proverbial flavor of Kool Aid just be different )

Listen, i'm trying to get your attention, not to insult you. i 'm not saying your translation is messed up, i'm asking you how YOU know it is or isn't. It seems like a lot of people on this site are folks preaching to their own choir, so to speak. This is normal, but you should be self-aware of it.

Allaah ma`ak!
