snubish: silly boy, who is making excuses. It is easier for a weak, indulgent muslim to be taught his religion than for him to return if allowed to follow misguidance: Jesus is God, God created himslf as a son and came to earth. God is three and one at the same time. Plain confusion, now run along and go to play little boy. Who has time for this!Spiritual things are understood by spiritual people. You cannot comprehend with your carnal mind until you are born of the Spirit. How is human being made of trinity - spirit, soul and body? |
lanrexlan: Are you playing blind game or your rebuttal clouded your thinking? See what I wroteYou want to run away from the truth. Bukhari said there were differences in memorizers' recitations. You are saying it is not true without any proof. Your defence is lame. Very lame indeed. Allah promised to protect the quran but the facts on ground prove that it was not protected. Even the verse that says allah would protect his word could be the mistake of the contradicting reciters. The fact remains the QURAN IS A GUESS-WORK as there was noway they could confirm what they picked from the different and conflicting recitations were the true and correct ones. They could not confirm from allah and Muhammad had died, so they had no choice but to guess. |
RoyPCain: @cleanvessel; The verse in Surah Fatir is encouragement to the muslims that those who are not in Islam are in manifest error.You did not explain anything acceptable. The meaning of your explanation is that allah was dealing with the muslims on DOUBLE STANDARD basis. Allah said there is NO CHANGING HIS WORDS (Quran 10:64) and was CHANGING them by replacement (Quran 16:101, 2:106). This contradiction alone is enough to reject the quran as the word of God, talkless of the numerous others. Unfortunately nobody can see or understand spiritual things unless he is in the spirit. It is a pity. |
RoyPCain: @cleanvessel; bia my brother. just imagine for a moment that no one knew the whole Quran by heart than those who died in the battle of Yemmama. I said imagine for a moment. then imagine what the leader of the muslim world {AbuBakr [ra]] would do before sending all into the battle. Lets put you in the position of the leadership.My friend, you jumped or dodged almost half a page of questions directed to you and was answering the unnecessary? Let me repeat them for you again: Of a particular interest to me is this quotation of yours:[b] Surah Fatir [35], verse 43; [Due to] arrogance in the land and plotting of evil; but the evil plot does not encompass except its own people. Then do they await except the way of the former peoples? But you will never find in the way of Allah any change, and you will never find in the way of Allah any alteration. I tell you the truth, this quotation does not tally with the reality of the quran. Allah was changing his revelations to suit his particular purpose at any given time. He could not be said to be stable in the light of the following from the quran: [Quran 16:101] And when We put a revelation in place of (another) revelation, - and Allah knoweth best what He revealeth - they say: Lo! thou art but inventing. Most of them know not. [Quran 2:106] Nothing of our revelation (even a single verse) do we abrogate or cause be forgotten, but we bring (in place) one better or the like thereof. Knowest thou not that Allah is Able to do all things? Can you clearly see for yourself that the quran condtradicts itself? Not only that, it says Allah puts in place (replace) one better or the like therof. Why was he changing his revelations? I strongly believe all these was as a result of picking recitations from here and there from so many contradictory ones from the reciters when it was being compiled into a book you call quran. It is a pity that those revelations eaten up by animals could not be recovered as they were nowhere to be found. Oya over to you. |
lanrexlan: Yes,it was written on leathers and other materials,memorized by many people.What Abu Bakr(ra) did was that he complied the Quran on a single material.I want to put it to you that the quran was not made into a book form during the time of Muhammad. It was not all revelations that were written down and that posed a lot of problem when they were making it into a book form: Narrated By Anas bin Malik : Hudhaifa bin Al-Yaman came to Uthman at the time when the people of Sham and the people of Iraq were Waging war to conquer Arminya and Adharbijan. Hudhaifa was afraid of their (the people of Sham and Iraq) DIFFERENCES IN THE RECITATIONS OF THE QUR'AN, so he said to 'Uthman, "O chief of the Believers! Save this nation before they differ about the Book (Quran) as Jews and the Christians did before." So 'Uthman sent a message to Hafsa saying, "Send us the manuscripts of the Qur'an so that we may compile the Qur'anic materials in perfect copies and return the manuscripts to you." Hafsa sent it to 'Uthman. 'Uthman then ordered Zaid bin Thabit, 'Abdullah bin AzZubair, Said bin Al-As and 'AbdurRahman bin Harith bin Hisham to rewrite the manuscripts in perfect copies. 'Uthman said to the three Quraishi men, "In case you disagree with Zaid bin Thabit on any point in the Qur'an, then write it in the dialect of Quraish, the Qur'an was revealed in their tongue." They did so, and when they had written many copies, 'Uthman returned the original manuscripts to Hafsa. 'Uthman sent to every Muslim province one copy of what they had copied, and ordered that all the other Qur'anic materials, whether written in fragmentary manuscripts or whole copies, BE BURNT. Said bin Thabit added, "A Verse from Surat Ahzab was missed by me when we copied the Qur'an and I used to hear Allah's Apostle reciting it. So we searched for it and found it with Khuzaima bin Thabit Al-Ansari. (That Verse was): 'Among the Believers are men who have been true in their covenant with Allah.' (33.23) (Bukhari Book 6, Volume 61, Haddith 510) It is clear from the above that quran was compiled into a book after the death of Muhammad. But note that there was a serious problem: there were differences in the memorizers' recitations. It shows they needed the recitations of the memorizers, which were not yet written down. How were they able to detect the correct ones among the different recitation as Muhammad was no more around and they could not confirm from Allah as only the prophet could hear from him? This was why in one of my posts I claimed the quran was a guess work. Narrated By Zaid bin Thabit : Abu Bakr As-Siddiq sent for me when the people! of Yamama had been killed (i.e., a number of the Prophet's Companions who fought against Musailama). (I went to him) and found 'Umar bin Al-Khattab sitting with him. Abu Bakr then said (to me), "Umar has come to me and said: "Casualties were heavy among the Qurra' of the! Qur'an (i.e. those who knew the Quran by heart) on the day of the Battle of Yamama, and I am afraid that more heavy casualties may take place among the Qurra' on other battlefields, whereby a large part of the Qur'an may be lost. Therefore I suggest, you (Abu Bakr) order that the Qur'an be collected." I said to 'Umar, "How can you do something which Allah's Apostle did not do?" 'Umar said, "By Allah, that is a good project. "Umar kept on urging me to accept his proposal till Allah opened my chest for it and I began to realize the good in the idea which 'Umar had realized." Then Abu Bakr said (to me). 'You are a wise young man and we do not have any suspicion about you, and you used to write the Divine Inspiration for Allah's Apostle. So you should search for (the fragmentary scripts of) the Qur'an and collect it in one book)." By Allah If they had ordered me to shift one of the mountains, it would not have been heavier for me than this ordering me to collect the Qur'an. Then I said to Abu Bakr, "How will you do something which Allah's Apostle did not do?" Abu Bakr replied, "By Allah, it is a good project." Abu Bakr kept on urging me to accept his idea until Allah opened my chest for what He had opened the chests of Abu Bakr and 'Umar. So I started looking for the Qur'an and collecting it from (what was written on) palmed stalks, thin white stones and also from the men who knew it by heart, till I found the last Verse of Surat At-Tauba (Repentance) with Abi Khuzaima Al-Ansari, and I did not find it with anybody other than him. The Verse is: 'Verily there has come unto you an Apostle (Muhammad) from amongst yourselves. It grieves him that you should receive any injury or difficulty... (till the end of Surat-Baraa' (At-Tauba) (9.128-129) Then the complete manuscripts (copy) of the Qur'an remained with Abu Bakr till he died, then with 'Umar till the end of his life, and then with Hafsa, the daughter of 'Umar.(Bukhari Volume 6, Book 61, Number 509). How can you do something which Allah's Apostle did not do? This means the quran was not made in a book form during the life time of Muhammad. "I started looking for the Qur'an and collecting it from (what was written on) palmed stalks, thin white stones and also from the men who knew it by heart, till I found the last Verse of Surat At-Tauba (Repentance) with Abi Khuzaima Al-Ansari, and I did not find it with anybody other than him." This also shows the quran was compiled not only from the written pieces on papers but from memorizers' recitations as well. And as said earlier, the memorizers had differences in their recitations. Summary 1. The quran was not in book form during Muhammad's life time. 2. The compilations into book form were made from not only the written pieces during Muhammad's time but also from the memorizers' conflicting recitations, in which there was no way they could could confirm which of them were correct and yet they put them in the quran, guessing. AS a result of the above, the quran could not be said to be complete or correct revelations of Allah and therefore not preserved. |
lanrexlan: If you don't believe what I wrote then no need engaging you again.I told you how the Quran was preserved and you said you don't believe it.There is a group of men the prophet(pbuh)chose and whenever he received a revelation,he memorized it and Allah said that he caused the prophet(pbuh)to memorize by heart,after the memorizing it,he recite to the scribes and they too memorize and then write it down.Are you saying the whole of the quran was written during Muhammad's time? That is not true if that is what you said. Your explanations did not cover the areas I'm talking about. The fact that Muhammad was not immune from forgetting, there is the possibility that he could have forgotten part of what he received before he dictated them to the writers or his companions. When the quran was being compiled as a book, it suffered many things that one could not reasonable vouch for its authenticity as true and complete revelations of allah: Firstly, Aisha said some portions were eaten up by beast and it could not be found anywhere again. Those ones were lost forever as they are not in the quran. Secondly, Zuhri reports, 'We have heard that many Qur'an passages were revealed but that those who had memorised them fell in the Yemama fighting. Those passages had not been written down, and following the deaths of those who knew them, were no longer known;[b][/b] nor had Abu Bakr, nor `Umar nor `Uthman as yet collected the texts of the Qur'an. (Burton: The published text ought here to be amended: for "fa lamma jama`Abu Bakr", I propose to read: "wa lamma yajma` Abu Bakr", to follow: "lam yuktab".) Those lost passages were not to be found with anyone after the deaths of those who had memorised them. This, I understand, was one of the considerations which impelled them to pursue the Qur'an during the reign of Abu Bakr, committing it to sheets for fear that there should perish in further theatres of war men who bore much of the Qur'an which they would take to the grave with them on their fall, and which, with their passing, would not be found with any other.(John Burton, The Collection of the Qur'an, pp. 126-127, Abu Bakr `Abdullah b. abi Da'ud, Kitab al-Masahif’, ed. A. Jeffery, Cairo, 1936/1355, p. 23 ![]() There were differences in the reciters' recitations. "We were sitting in the mosque and `Abdullah was reciting the Qur'an when Hudaifa came in and said, 'The reading of ibn Umm `Abd! [ie. `Abdullah] The reading of Abu Musa! By God! if I am spared to reach the Commander of the Faithful, I will recommend THAT HE IMPOSE A SINGLE QUR’AN READING!' ‘Abdullah became very angry and spoke sharply to Hudaifa who fell silent." (Burton, p. 142, Abu Bakr `Abdullah b. abi Da'ud, "K. al Masahif", ed. A. Jeffery, Cairo, 1936/1355, p. 13 ![]() As you can see there were confusions among them as to which of the recitations were correct and there was need to impose ONE. How are we to be sure the one imposed is the correct and Muhammad was no more around? Under this kind of a situation, how can you vouch for the CORRECTNESS of the content of the quran. So many portions were lost due to men who fell in war and could not be recovered making the quran contents short of many revelations from allah. There are so many more but let me limit it to this for now. |
Paschal007: Read my post again, this time SLOWLY.OK |
RoyPCain: @cleanvessel; good day, unless in far east or down under time zones. listen, i appreciate your struggle to put forward your viewpoint. you however seem to be get it all wrong in your effort to argue against islam. you would have been better off with the bible than can be easily picked apart and deconstructed. i remember a person asking that i show him the uncorrupted bible since muslims say what is on the market is corrupt. i have realized by this unintelligent statement of that person he is not a thinker at all. if he were a thinker, all he had to do was to ponder on the agreed statement of the Quran. he can therefore dispute it by gathering as many bible as possible including many edition of same version. he can from hundreds of them pick out the very one he thinks is uncorrupted.I disagree with all of your assertions. You said you don't buy my idea of Muhammad forgetting revelations. Is that my idea? It was Muhammad himself who told his wife, Aisha that truth. A man that was expected to memorize the revelations of allah should have been empowered with the ability not to forget any of them. Isn't is? The fact that he could forget makes any reasonable person to doubt if the ones he eventually passed down were correct and complete. I almost got tempted answering you on the biblical or christian matters you raised, but I restrained myself answering you as it will derail the thread. If you have anything against the Bible, open another thread. Of a particular interest to me is this quotation of yours:[b] Surah Fatir [35], verse 43; [Due to] arrogance in the land and plotting of evil; but the evil plot does not encompass except its own people. Then do they await except the way of the former peoples? But you will never find in the way of Allah any change, and you will never find in the way of Allah any alteration. I tell you the truth, this quotation does not tally with the reality of the quran. Allah was changing his revelations to suit his particular purpose at any given time. He could not be said to be stable in the light of the following from the quran: [Quran 16:101] And when We put a revelation in place of (another) revelation, - and Allah knoweth best what He revealeth - they say: Lo! thou art but inventing. Most of them know not. [Quran 2:106] Nothing of our revelation (even a single verse) do we abrogate or cause be forgotten, but we bring (in place) one better or the like thereof. Knowest thou not that Allah is Able to do all things? Can you clearly see for yourself that the quran condtradicts itself? Not only that, it says [b]Allah puts in place (replace) one better or the like therof. [/b] Why was he changing his revelations? I strongly believe all these was as a result of picking recitations from here and there from so many contradictory ones from the reciters when it was being compiled into a book you call quran. It is a pity that those revelations eaten up by animals could not be recovered as they were nowhere to be found. |
Paschal007: Thanks for honest answer. Op i hope this answers your question. Islam cannot survive on a level playing field. This happens in islamic countries and it's happening on this section.I'm not sure you read the thread comprehensively. What is happening in this section? If it is happening here, why was this thread opened? Why are they banning people and hiding posts? Is that what you call a level playing field? Man, you are not being realistic. |
snubish: ^ Christianity is a more liberal religion. easier on the physical self. appealing to the senses with music and dancing. venerating images etc. they are also usually well sponsored financially, but all these do not make a religion TRUE. if preachers are allowed to freely propagate Christianity in Muslim lands, they would mislead the weak, indulgent, and ignorant among Muslims. Kapish.It still boils down to the fact that islam is not strong enough to withstand civil opposition. Those who are weak, indulgent and ignorant, are they muslims in the real sense of islam? So you want them to be neither here nor there? Your excuse is lame, very lame. |
RoyPCain: @cleanvessel; step back for a moment. lets think about this together. the revelations stopped for a while before the prophet died. the last chapter and last verse were well known; each saying that Islam is complete and the means of success.Let's turn our eyes away from the particular verses and ayas he actually forgot and concentrate on his inability to remember everything. My point really is: if he was subject to forgetting revelations, the possibility of not delivering the ones he received correctly and completely is very high as he could have forgotten some. As a result, the tendencies are very high that the quran does not contain the correct and complete revelations. Apart from him able to forget revelations,when the quran was being compiled after Muhammad's death, a number of things happened with islamic evidences but if mentioned here will constitute an offence. Here is not a forum where you can say the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I wonder a religion that would not want the truth said. What I'm trying to say is that many revelations got missing, many were deliberately expunged and there were differences and factions on which recitations to adopt. How are we so sure the ones eventually written down were the real and true revelations of allah? What you call the word of allah today might be the formulations of men. On protection of Allah's revelations, I don't want to believe he did protect his revelations starting from Torah and the Gospel. The quran and hadiths say Torah and Gospel were tampered with. So it is no news if the quran was not protected like the earlier revelations. After giving revelations, it is like allah does allow anybody to do whatever he wants to them. This is evident from torah and gospel and quranic manipulations as I stated above. Therefore there is noway anyone could vouch for the CORRECTNESS and COMPLETENESS of the quran. |
@ RoyPCain Your defence is very lame. Your brother lanrexlan dodged some things and you did the same. If the revelations eaten by beast were available in any other form, including the memories of the reciters, would they have said they were nowhere to be found? No. Those ones were lost forever, making the quran a book containing incomple revelations. You failed to comment on the prophet forgeting revelations. How are you sure the ones he dictated to the writers and his companions were correct and complete? How are you sure he remembered them correctly and completely. For the revelations to be exact as revealed, the prophet was required to be made unforgeting and since he could forget, there is no way anybody can reasonably guarantee the correctness and compleness of the revelations. Go through this post comprehensively before answering leaving or dodging none. |
lanrexlan: Whenever the Prophet(pbuh)received a revelation,he would first memorize it himself and later declare the revelation and instruct his Companions (R.A.)– May Allah be pleased with him who would also memorize it.The Prophet(pbuh) would immediately ask the scribes to write down the revelation he had received and he would reconfirm and recheck it himself. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)was an Ummi who could not read and write.Therefore, after receiving each revelation,he would repeat it to his Companions.They would write down the revelation,and he would recheck by asking them to read what they had written.If there was any mistake,the Prophet(pbuh) would immediately point it out and have it corrected and rechecked. Similarly he would even recheck and authenticate the portions of the Qur’an memorized by the Companions. In this way, the complete Qur’an was written down under the personal supervision of the prophet (pbuh).I don't want to believe what you said is the truth. Firstly, some portions of the revelation were eaten up by beasts,how is the quran preserved? Some were nowhere to be found, how is the quran preserved? You have not addressed the two issues. Thirdly, since the prophet could forget revelations, how are you so sure the ones he eventually dictated for writing down or to his companions were correct and complete? |
Paschal007: True that...I don't think there is any pure truth in islam. I have a number of reasons for saying this, but it is a taboo if said here. Within the few posts here you can see two already hidden and only God knows how many will be hidden at the end of the day. So I stop it at that. Vedaxcool and Betathing, are they not there to refute the hidden and deleted posts? There is no substitute for the truth. I strongly believe islam cannot withstand any serious scrutiny and survive it, hence the banning, hidding posts etc. Given a plain level for writings, it is not going to be a good story for the muslims to tell. On the world level, there are some muslim countries where christian materials are not allowed because it is a thread to the continuos existence of the religion. You should need to ask: why are they afraid of the christians who cannot harm as they don't use arrows, matchet, gun or bomb. There is power in word of Jehovah God. Shalom. |
@ Moderators What criticisms constitute offences in this section? The ones supported with quran or hadith? Which ones please? |
ayenny02: Matthew 19:5-6Your major problem is lack of proper understanding of anything written in English language. This is the reason you misinterpret the Bible always. Matthew 19:5-6 5. and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH. 6. So then, THEY ARE NO LONGER TWO BUT ONE FLESH. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate. (LIES EXPOSE) tell me from that verses where jesus said Man should marry only ONE wife. If you don't know ur Bible, you better come and I will teach you. 1. THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH: What does this mean to you? Two, three or four wives? Do they have to tell you this means nothing but one wife and one husband? An illiterate man like you. 2. THEY ARE NO LONGER TWO BUT ONE FLESH: Now, answer this. OLODO RABATA Luke 19:27 27 But bring here those enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, and slay them before me. Read from verse 12. You will discover Jesus was telling a parable. OLODO RABATA. How many did Jesus kill. You think he is Muhammad who is a warlord. He must have discovered now that allah is not the true God. The blood of those he killed in the name of allah must have been required from him now. I pity you muslims. |
@ sino you muslim believe jesus did not die........ i put it to you that your belief is wrong. there is what they call faith and truth. whatever belief that it is not from God is not the truth. allah did not say jesus is coming back to DIE. he said he is coming to judge (quran 43:61). i have challenged the muslims above to state where allah himself said jesus is coming to DIE but all of them are looking away from it. i'm using this means to challenge you too and rescue your brothers, who must have been in confusion now. if you believe (wrongly) that jesus didn't die before, your assumption that he is coming back to DIE is wrong because that is not the word of allah. it is human't idea. waiting for you. |
maclatunji: I am giving you the opportunity to go and study the Qur'an well before addressing your false assertion. |
maclatunji: I am giving you the opportunity to go and study the Qur'an well before addressing your false assertion.Your excuse is lame. Tell us where Allah said Jesus is coming back to DIE again. It is not there in the quran. It was the FORMULATION of Muhammad and his followers. They were dead wrong. Allah is not in support of their assertion. I challenge you to point where Allah tell you Jesus is coming back to DIE again. He had been born, died and raised already (Quran 19:33-34). Halleluyah! Glory! |
LISTEN EVERYBODY! LISTEN!! LISTEN AGAIN!!! I'm very sorry, I'm yet to see where Allah said in the quran that Jesus is coming to back to DIE again. Quran 43:61 And (Jesus) shall be a Sign (for the coming of) the Hour (of Judgment): therefore have no doubt about the (Hour), but follow ye Me: this is a Straight Way There is no way this can be interpreted to mean Jesus is coming back to DIE. I insist Allah did not intend that Jesus is coming to DIE. He didn't say anything about his coming to DIE. Muhammad and his followers must have heard or read the second coming of Jesus in the Bible and misinterpreted it in their hadiths due to lack of the Holy Spirit. You never can know God's word properly without his Spirit inside you and this is the cause of the problem at hand. Jesus is coming not to DIE but to JUDGE (the sign of the hour of judgment). He will judge those who refuse Him as the Son of God. I'm sure we all know them. abi? |
andromida: Tbaba you must stop this falsehood. Acquaint yourself with history Christianity and Judaism are different but in your zeal to prove the untenable you conveniently become negligent in your studies. Study to show yourself approved a worthy student so that when you speak you will be believed. This scriptures you have quoted were in existence 100 of years before the coming of Christ and you know it. And its not Old testament Vs New testament it is the fact that Judaism is NOT Christianity. Read the rules for Christians in the same bible. All you are doing is playing rofo rofo to win.Thank you madam, God bless you. |
LET THERE BE SILENCE AND LISTEN TO THIS THOUGHTFULLY,CAREFULLY AND WITHOUT PREJUDICE. in islam, jesus is believed as an ordinary human and no divinity attached. therefore when the quran talks about him it is from human perspective. he is expected to be born and to die like every human. isn't it? so when the quran says he was born, to die and to be raised, it is talking about him as an ordinary human, who cannot escape death. so the order of jesus life as a human being was supposed to be as follows: 1. birth 2. death 3. raise as a man, why should he jump no. 2 and move to 3. that would mean a disorder of human life. even muhammad your ''greatest'' prophet could not jump death, why jesus? THE COMING BACK OF JESUS IN ISLAM IS A FICTION. allah. did not say it in the quran. it was the making of muhammad and his followers, probably they heard it from the bible. as far as allah is concern, jesus is not coming again to be raised. HE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT. thank you all. |
basilico: Since we are all agreed that Isa is in heaven , how did he get there?Bros please permit me to add my own question too. Did Jesus cross to heaven from hell before the Day of Judgement? |
