Annunaki:speaking of miracles and prophecies...taking the best of the holy koran Below are a list of its miracles 1-the mummification of pharaoh-- Today we will preserve your body so you can be a Sign for people who come after you. Surely many people are heedless of Our Signs." (Qur'an, 10:91-92)---the mummified pharaoh was discovered year after this revelation 2-21st century science "expanding of the universe"--- And the heaven, We built it with craftsmanship and We are still expanding.--koran51 vs 47----koran told us this about 1500 years again 3- 1500year old challenge to mankind--And if ye are in doubt as to what We have revealed from time to time to Our servant, then produce a Sura like thereunto ; and call your witnesses or helpers (If there are any) besides God, if your (doubts) are true.-quran2vs23 If you don't call these miracles I'm sure you didn't cause you need a better description for it....be in a jiffy to complete it |
Annunaki:you missed the mathematics bro...get your pen find the number of xtains in world's population and find 10% of this you get the number turning towards atheism now do the same with saudi arabia....afterward find the ratio of christians to muslim turning towards atheism....it's that simple Get this ex-muslim and the ex-christian question them...you'll find that these muslims have little understanding of islam while the ex-christian are very knowledgable as regards to xtainity |
Annunaki:what make a prophet? |
Annunaki:read clearly what I have posted before sailing offshore bro..read |
ari3l:not necessarily you don't have to know every about a religion,, learning doesn't stop, religion is a vast ocean and its water is inexhaustible,,,they are irrelevant questions like asking God to reveal Himself to you in person b4 believing in Him |
ari3l:if I understand you clearly here is the reply to your question ...The verse above address the BELIEVER..one who is convinced about the doctrines of the religion understands it and accepts it as the right path...such a person would have ask all logical questions which ultimately leads to his acceptance of the religion...although it is still obligatory that such a person keep seeking for knowledge So the verse is only against irrelevant questions,, not scholarly questions....please kindly read the previous post carefully and be a bit laconic when quoting me please kinda busy |
Annunaki:read to the end bro, read |
ari3l:are there muslims who have really understand the koran who have really read koranic teachings turning toward atheism? The sincere response is no....I'm ain't saying there are no ex-muslim atheist but if you compare with the christian its in the ratio of 1 to 1000 |
ari3l:lol...."99.9%" of atheist are ex-christians not just ex-christians but christians who have really read the bible,,although some exist with other reasons for turning towards atheism but the majority turned towards atheism after objectively reading the bible and making in-debt research of historic events during the anno-domini(a.d) and deduce that they are fables of the old |
Annunaki:..lol...you'll be fit for the post of security oh..just kidding Back to the verse It is known that islam is a religion unlike many others which welcomes dialogues,questions,debates and reasoning...the prophet is narrated to have said "ask me ask me before you loss me" imam Ali is narrated to have said " knowledge is the lost property of a believer pick it up where-ever you find it",, it is also a famous narration from the prophet that he said "seek knowledge from cradle to gave,,and seek knowledge even it be in china" The koran is also known to support intellectual and scholarly endeavors in many verses..some of which include 1-“Recite: In the name of thy Lord who created man from a clot. Recite: And thy Lord is the Most Generous Who taught by the pen, taught man that which he KNEW not.” (Quran, 96:1-5) 2-“And they shall say had we but listened or used REASON, we would not be among the inmates of the burning fire.” (Quran, 67:10) 3--“Are those who have knowledge and those who have no knowledge alike? Only the men of understanding are mindful. ” (Quran, 39:9) So what is koran5vs101 speaking about Koran5vs101 speaks about irrelevant and unneeded questions, questions which would only cause arm and do no good..example of such question is asking where once dead wife,mother et al is in(paradise or hell) such questions could cause arm if it is revealed to the person for instance that these people are in hell...other such questions is what the koran speaks of in the above verse...not the general search for knowledge |
ari3l:speaking of statistics,,about 10% of the world's population are atheists and about 15% are atheists in america..atheism is also raising exponentially in africa....now kindly get your pen and paper find the population of the world and then find the population of 10% of the world and see for yourself..ok 1,2,,5,10, to 100 revert to christianity deduct this number and see how insignificant it is when compared to the number of atheist around the world.....why has christianity succeeded in training and raising atheists? Let's have your say |
Annunaki:..what do you have to say about ex-christians who turn toward atheism and renounce christianity ? Isn't it obvious to them also that christianity is false? |
truthman2012:help your self and read through all I have posted and avoid the rigmarole |
truthman2012:lol yeah ,, powerful in my context a better creature, a better creature in all dimensions except this creature chooses to reduce himself to the lowest of the low This type of power was delegated entrusted to us by God hence that is why the xtains say we are the images of God, |
truthman2012:I vicegerence isn't a partner in the sense of being worthy of worship but a being with loftier qualities than all others, a better being the best in fact ....don't understand what you mean by "rule over who" kindly elucidate |
truthman2012:like I said the bowing down is to acknowledge adam and mankind as the best of creatures even the bible stated that man was created in "God's image"....and bowing down here is used in the sense of humility My sincere apologies totally forgot that I was dealing with an ignorant person as regards the verses of the koran, one who unintelligibly cherry picks some verses of the koran and turns a blind eye to other...and ultimately comes to unleash his ignorance on NL Well here are the verses I was talking about 1st--Behold, thy lord said to the angels "I will create my VICEGERENT on earth--koran2 vs 30 2nd--and behold We said to the angels "Bow down to Adam " and they bowed : NOT so iblis -koran2 vs 34 3rd---Allah said "o iblis! What prevents thee from prostrating thyself to ONE WHOM I CREATED WITH MY HANDs? Art thou haughty? Or art thou one of the high ones? 4th- iblis said "I AM BETTER THAN HE" thou createdst me from fire and Thou createdst him from clay Here you go ---so it is seen in the 4th verse that iblis only refused to bow because he feels he is better than mankind not because he feel that mankind isn't god...so the prostration isn't a sign of worship but a sign of humility again ---it is in the africa culture that one should bow to his parent or to an elderly person as a sign of humility not as a sign of worship as you have wrongly stipulated bowing down before christ is disliked in islam because it is done as a sign of worship ...the bowing down to adam as a sign of humility isn't just to adam but to the vicegerent of God on earth "mankind" |
...this one is promising to be another failed attempt bro....Here is the full and better interpretation of the sin satan committed 1st God stated to the angels "I'm going to create my caliph (vicegerent) on earth Who is a vicegerent-- a vicegerent is a person exercising delegated power on behalf of a sovereign ruler(google) Now asking the angel and the devil to bow down to man is only to acknowledge his vicegerency and power and as a sign of humility of other creatures to him as the best of creatures not as a sign of worship This is evident in the response of iblis to God when God asked him why he erred and refused to bow..he said "I am better than him" So the sin of iblis isn't a refusal to worship adam, but a breaching of God's command as is evident in the verse you posted and a display of gross arrogance and pride |
lexiconkabir:thank you jare..I wonder if his scripture has thought him to lie and keeping lieing just to make a point or to gain awareness...so repelling |
^ first is the koran is a complete book Second is its not the hadith but the sunnah of the prophet that we are asked to follow,,we are asked to follow these sunnah as it is in line with the teachings of the koran as the koran clearly states that prophet Muhammad does nothing outside the tenets of of the koran The hadith are only alleged sayings,some where compiled by people who aint even there during the time of the prophet and to cap it up they were compiled by humans...so there exists chances of errors and mistakes So we do the needful and put aside whatever hadith is not in line with the koran as the koran is our criterion for the authenticity of any book Maybe you should make some findings regarding the compilation of the hadiths |
truthman2012: truthman2012: truthman2012: |
truthman2012:koran3vs83....do they seek for other than the religion of Allah? While all creatures in the heavens and on earth have willingly or unwillingly bowed to His Will The verse above speaks of a universal submission to the will of God "like I have clarified in your previous post....universal submission in the sense that they exists some laws of nature which overwhelms you and you cannot disobey e.g every living thing must die.... The word jihad is struggle or strive,,if the word jihad means battle or war prophet mohammad wouldn't summon us to make jihad against or lustful selves Like I have said and always will say the hadith isn't a criterion for the authenticity of the koran,,,the koran speaks for it self....so if you want to discuss the koran discuss the koran |
truthman2012:another display of ignorance...still interpreting "jihad" as fight....have you forgotten so soon that the koran clearly stated "let there be no Compulsion in religion" your deliberate wrong interpretations have lead you and a whole lots like you into misguidance . |
Annunaki:lol...bro no need being illogical now..I only asked a logical question please be kind and sensible enough to give a logical response |
truthman2012:still chewing this empty point......do you know that the devil is accredited for years of worship and dedication to God before he became the worst of creations??...what do you have to say now |
Empiree:lol...well said |
truthman2012:lol |
truthman2012:thought we've touched the verse beforehand...well presently watching arsenal vs toteham...brb |
truthman2012:the verse speaks of the true muslims the true followers of the islam,,yes there are a lot of ignorant muslims who have by virtue of their ignorance abused and interpolated the teachings of islam..well that doesn't mean the teachings of islam aint perfect Like a wise man once said islam is perfect it is muslims who are imperfect.....it is like a school,which gives an examination and it turns out that some failed the examination...it cannot be said that the school teaches failure,,cause the question will also be asked "how about those who passed the exam, are they not in the same school with those who failed? Well you've made some mistakes in trying to connect the first verse with the second.. The first verse speaks of an ignorant person...one who knows little or nothing about the religion and maybe confronts the muslim in a dialogue,,in this case we follow the verse of the koran which says "call people to the way of your lord peacefully" that's what the verse explains The second verse speaks of a disbeliever one who knows the truth about islam, is convince that islam is the right path but due to sentiments or "pre-hatred" chooses to remain on the side of disbelieve...such people are dangerous and will only strive to the last pinch of their blood (like the devil) to see the downfall of islam,,making use aggressive and rebellious means to call (force) people away from islam,,they use unjust and tyrannical means to force people away from the true path,and finally try to block all channels through which people can receive the good news of islam (even the biblical stories are not devoid of such people) And islam as asked us as believers in the context of the second verse to strife against injustice,oppression and evil,, it is our responsibility as humans in general |
The first verse in question speaks of the UNIVERSAL submission to of creation to the will of Allah..I.e every living thing must die weda the like it not,they submit to the laws of nature et. Cetera ...in other word they are subservient to His will the other verse speaks of a legislative submission,,such laws can be discarded by men of little faith if it doesn't give them the illusive freedom they desire---this type of submission goes hand in hand with free-will that is why reward is given to the obedient and punishment to the disobedient.. |
There exists deception because the human race was endowed with a rare gem "FREEWILL" ...its like fire-as you know if fire is with the right person he uses it resourcefully while thesame fire in the hand of the wrong person leads to destruction Fire has a beautiful essence and this essence is only realized when put to right usage...same applies to freewill....so deception is only the result of the defective usage or the abuse of freewill Now as to why deception is part of free-will....free will gives man the choice to either seek beautiful truth by appealing to his sense of judgement and increasing his knowledge,, and shouldn't allow sentiments of what ever sort to deter his search for truth....on the other hand he has the choice to sit idly and remain ignorant,in this sense he falls for what ever news comes to him and his blown around like a wind-this is the case of abuse of free-will,, This technique separates those who have really and truthfully searched for truth from those who haven't-and on the long run ignorance(when the opportunity to know is their) wouldn't be an excuse Its like a soldier preparing for battle,he has the choice to go with all of his armory hence making him less vulnerable to attack by the enemy,,this same soldier can as well choose to drop all his armory,hence making him vulnerable to attack |
Newnas:lol...true talk brother |
David0:yes..some-one also narrated a similar experience to me,,someone much older and educated than me,, and he went ahead to call it a spirity thing and happens when you are spiritually paralyzed or rotten,,in this sense the negative powers will have dominion over you,,and some people die from this experience And he finally said he was only able to escape the struggle after reciting some verses of the koran..and you've just gave a similar experience that you hit the being with your bible To cap it up..maybe you need to empower yourself spiritually |
