Enough of all these name on meat, name on tree, name on cow, name on moon, baby with kettle, baby with rosary . . .

Let us concentrate on the Quran!
People today, have neglected studying Allah's words and now look for inspiration in secondary and tertiary means.

I am a culprit, and probably you too. Ask yourself, how much of Allah's words have you committed to memory or fully understood its meaning. Don't you know that some people accepted Islam simply by listening to a single verse? What profound meaning did they derive? What did they hear? The same thing that has turned to ringing tone today!

We are spending 6-3-3-4 (+ MSc + PhD + post doc + . . .) years learning about this dunya and harding get serious about a 3-month Arabic course; if you actually ever started it.

You then see some people going around burning houses, killing innocent people in the name of defending the religion. What religion? Wake up!

We all need to work more on unlocking the wonders of this supreme miracle. If we all start doing this, i do not think we would have spare time left to "celebrate" these "micro-miracles". The grandeur of the Quran would render whatever we get from these things as grossly insignificant.

Lesson: Even if these things truly happen, they do not neccessarily need all these attention. Our religion is not a miracle-based religion. The greatest miracle is the Qur'an. . . . but you and me know not! It is up there neatly packed on the top wardrobe section only to be touched on the first day of Ramadan, compete with friends on the highest number of completions and returned diligently after Eid.

Kai, o ga fun wa!

Nice perspective.

maclatunji: Nice perspective.

Yeap n tanx for adjusting d topic

I followed these miracles back in the days ehn, only to discover that some were false.

Alhamdulilah for the Qur'an, the miracle of all miracles.

You are welcome.

If muslims truly knew what this Quran is, we won't be bothered with these kinds of nonsense.

I'd been waiting for someone to say this a long time ago.

Islam is not miracle based, but i think the quran mentioned about Jesus performing miracles. Or am i wrong?

That Islam is taken for a religion is a miracle. Oya Delete and Ban.

Me sef, I don tire 4 all the Allah name on meat. No "genuine" pic to proof, nothing nothing. All they do is unnecessary ranting.

And b4 one disgruntled Muslim clicks on the report button, u should realize that I am also Muslim nd this post is not offensive. :/

Wow..thank u o for making this known.

Poster you forget the 72 virgin thing

wa Allahu alam(Allah knows best).

May Allah bless the OP and the audience of this message. Although miracles exists, the primary focus should be on the fundamentals - five pillars of Islam, righteous deeds, love for one another, reciting/memorizing the Qur'an, etc.

Most of us are guilty of this and may Allah direct our affairs rightly. Ameen.

Interesting...,

All religion are tool for social control.

Are you willing to have a discussion on that?

and ye shal know d truth,n d truth shall set u free......candid advise,get d truth!

Dosoq: and ye shal know d truth,n d truth shall set u free......candid advise,get d truth!

You too: get the truth.. It would certainly set you free.

The Poster was very right tho.

Honestly, diplomatic and decency approach is what i admired most, All these wonder signs are all from Allah (SAW) and they are like smoke which can never be covered;so noise has to be made for people to understand and hear that the dooms day is near; and AL ISLAM is only the RELIGION with Allah (SAW).

Good
