So in the Name of God most Compassionate - is a load of nonsense?
Compassion if in our language is called desire, elevate it to the level of "wish and will" for as you call it, desire or emotion is a primitive survival instinct. We humans live not by instinct but by intution, the timely help and guidance from god. Emotions can be greatly contained by patience. Patience is a gift from the most compassionate.
Are you REALLY SERIOUS?
Fear is an EMOTION. It is a primitive survival instinct.
But without emotion there is no desire. It is desire that causes us to want peace. Without emotion there is no empathy. it is empathy that allows us to stop from hurting our fellow man or to understand where they are seeing things from. Without emotion we become robotic, able to rely only on instinct. there would be no reason to comunicate, no difference between us and the animals. I think you are missing the big picture entirely and only looking at some utopian outcome if man had no emotion or ignored them completely. there is a movie with Sandra Bullock and Sly Stalone where they are living in a future society where happy is the only emotion expressed. the outcome is NOT what one would hope it could be. Emotion and thumbs are what make us human.
Desire sparks emotion; desires can be dispensed with, for, desire has an inherent quality of selfishness. Our only need is patience towards realizing our god send needs. In order that we preserve peace at any cost patience shall prevail over desires. Patience is peace. Patience is anti emotion;neither peace is an emotion.
Animals only fulfil their just needs and live peacefully, unlike man who pursuits desires beyond his just needs.
I am sure prophet Muhammad would surely have cursed whom allah had cursed, say, the mischief mongers and that belie the Truth and spread falsehood in the name of allah.
Many Atheist live quite happily.
lotetree,
Yes, unknowingly and without application of their mind as to wherefrom the Guidance comes. They surely know it is not from them but from God. Either we abide by it or reject, it is our choice. Either you be grateful to God for such benevolence or overlook HIM, is our pride or self-respect.
Seriously though, if god went to all the trouble to give us emotions why would we deny them? Without emotion you have no empathy, no passion, love, fear, anything. You become a vegetable
sawtooth,
What man shows as love, passion, fear and such that are very constrained and weak and has no consistency. In no time it might take a reverse course causing confusion and chaos that we see around the world today. Man's efforts to show love passion has no effect upon peaceful life. With all our show of emotions, we are dead already, leave alone being vegataions. Fear HIM alone for Guidance and consistency.
Emotion is a misguided reaction; Emotion is anti-islamic that disturbs peace or salamath.
You mean LOVE and COMPASSION is anti-Islamic?
lotetree,
Yes, love and compassion is not life but fear for Allah is. Again, fear for allah is not emotion but a dear need of man if he has to evolve, correct himself and march ahead in the straight path.
It is a cartoonist's habit of viewing anything, leave alone hadiths. Definitely none can caricature the Quran. So who to blame?
God is the Creator. It is quite unbecoming of the Creator to operate on a set of laws, like the humans do.
Life is still or deadl without God creating in you and making you realise your needs of the day.

thegod,
God is not like any of the things that we know of like the living or the dead. There is none or nothing to compare with IT. Hence upgrade the standard of your question.
Emotion is a misguided reaction; Emotion is anti-islamic that disturbs peace or salamath.

The Book is the compilation of 114 chapters inscribed as Quran in the RUH of a man. Muhammad is the first prophet and the blessed man to bring to rememberance all of them during his life time. Allah is so pleased with him that HE revealed explanations of each ayat of 114 chapters and guided the prophet and the mankind with it.
You are correct. Never care to get authentication of others when you are sure of something.

The People Of Authority are those who were appointed to set right our needs and affairs. In my house they were my parents when I was young; when they become old they entrust their responsibility with me. When I go out taking my helper or servant with me, he takes over certain responsibilities of mine. So I have to follow him when I place my trust in him.
The people of authority are with regards to the worldly affairs upon whom we have placed our trust, next only to Allah. Look at the folowing verse
"... and take counsel with them in the affair; so when you have decided, then place your trust in Allah; surely Allah loves those who trust."

The Quranic Way of Life
Do not Follow the Majority Way of Life for if you read Quran we see a life of total contradiction to the life of the world. You might even be driven to the point of death in the course to become shaheedis.

RK and the original thread for example. lol
Bro jaxal, I agree with you totally. What we have is the Book. With Allah is the Quran protected only to be revealed for the righteous.
peace.
.
Shaheed means to raise one's self above the worldly ways to lead a life inscribed by Allah and stand tall as model amongst your umma and a witness over their deeds both in this world and in the hereafter.
Peace

Allah says in Quran You will never be able to be fair and just as between women, even if it is your ardent desire.
So how many women can you marry despite the above clear warning?
Peace

Peace
We essentially live in our hearts. Peace resides in our hearts and not in any particular place or building. We submit to Allah in our hearts and not through any ' physical form' of worship. We believe in the unseen hidden rahmath of allah as Allah commands us to have faith in. Mosques or masjids are not the places of worship for best place of worship is one's own heart.
May our hearts be set at peace.
