tbaba1234:Haha...yes indeed saying Allah exists outside the universe bcause the universe is finite means that HE is "INFINITE" so to say which affirm to our point that HE is everywhere And no-where...cause there is no such place that is infinite and that HAS no beginning that we can point at and say Allah is there or there If the question is meaningless I tink it automatically means that ur previous post is likewise cause d question was only the result of ur post |

sino:well bro I see u dnt understand the implications of d words uve been using earlier..what could it mean if some1 says that Allah has a hand or a leg a face and even sits on a throne if not finitude...2nd is most muslims unanimously agree that Allah is above His creation the point of incoherence is deir approach to dat statement in d sense dat is d word above used in terms of loftiness and majesty or in terms of position? As for the 3rd point..I am not a scholar nor a saint but a student of knowledge,nd in my quest for knowledge I av tried my best to avoid being sentimental as the saying goes look at d message not the messenger...but d case is different with what I av seen here so far what deh do is ask which sect dis person or dat person belongs to not paying attention to His message Lol..I guess what you guys do is make a literal interpretation of d holy koran..wow if dats d case dere will be no point in pondering on it since all we av to do is translate it literally and the verse which asks us to ponder on the koran will make no sense,why ponder on it when everything is glaring..nd the verse which says "many will be guided aright by it and many will be led astray by it will also make no meaning if it is glaring nd should b taken literally why will it guide people astray, is it that it contains some controversies And thirdly the verse which says Allah guides alright whom ever He wishes and leads astray whom ever he desires wen taken literally will mean that Allah selects some people and guides them and then leads astray oda people...which will also be a contradiction to d verse which says "for those who strives in our path we shall indeed guide dem in our path"....I guess ure getting a lot of things wrong bro,, the koran needs us to ponder on it frequently nd decipher the hidden treasures within it |

One tin I av noticed in dis discussion is that both sides bring verses from the koran to support dier views about God.....one group(saying God is finite) bring forth dier verses nd do not even bother about the 2nd groups verses whereas the second group (saying God is everywhere) also bring forth verses to support dier claim but unlike the 1st group also try to dier utmost to explain the verses from the group. The first group should also try to do justice to d 2nd group's claims by trying to explain d verses d bring forth nd not resulting to an unintelligible and unfathomable claim that intellect cannot be used to explain d word of the koran...if this is so the non-muslims too will be correct if they say God is five,seven or even hundred and when we ask why deh say, intelligence cannot be applied in dis realm yet we "crucify" dem for it.... I think intelligence is what makes you distinguish btw correct and incorrect,ryt and wrong,true or false even the koran exclaimed "when a person brings forth a news to you do verify the news".. for verification requires intelligence 2 Likes |

Here is a statement from imam ali on the ESSENCE OF GOD HE is the One,but not in a numerical sense He is not confined to limits nor counted by numbers He who points at HIM,admits for Him limitations,and he who admits limitation for Him has numbered Him He who qualifies Him limits Him.He who limits Him numbers Him.He who numbers Him denies His pre-eternity-----the peak of eloquence Food for thought-whose saying will you follow ALI's or muhawiyahs'? Again saying He as an eye,a leg and a mouth refutes the saying "there is non like Unto Him" for - too have an eyes,legs and face If you den say he is finite why condemn d non muslims for speaking about trinity....since your God and theirs can be counted? 1 Like |

Indeed "ALLAH is closer to us than our jugular vein" This verse suffices our point that Allah is not sought of a pHySiCAL bEING....if HE was dat would mean dat HE created HIM SELF or sumtin else created him lo! No muslim will subscribe to dat point indeed Anoda verse I will like to point out is "you are neva in a state nor do you ever recite a verse of the quran or engage in any other action,without my being INSTANTLY aware of it,not a single atom in the heaven and the earth is hidden from your LORD;what ever exists whether smaller or bigger than an atom is recorded In a clear book(divine knowledge)---quran 10vr61 In the above verse He made mention of His instant awareness of everybody's actions nd even of everything...indeed this is impossible for any physical being it is only logically position if such a being is present everywhere Finally you cannot expect us to just accept what muhawiyah said about d prophet since muhawiyah's conduct during His life time were questionable We only take the wordings of such people whom the quran speaks of in this context "verily ur sovereigns are ALLAH,AND the pRoPHET AND those who uphold ritual prayer and give alms while bowing down(in prayer)-quran5:55 |

babylolaroy:Since question wasn't directed to me courtesy demand that I should allow the appropriate person answer the above question But I will also like to ask you a question,saying Allah attributed an eye a hand a mouth to Himself do you by any means mean dat He possess needs in d sense that He needs the eyes to see,the mouth to talk,the hand nd feet to move? If yes are you going against His attribute which says He is free of need?...if no...what sense does it make having what you dnt need...since ALLAH Does nothing in vein.... pls be kind to throw more light on this really want to know what you actually mean |

Examples of the verse are 1-but the polytheists have no knowledge of the truth and constantly avert themselves from it-21-24 2-tell men to reflect with care and see what things the heavens and the earth contain-10-101 3-............in all of these are signs for men who use their intellect-2;163-164 4.Pure and exalted is thy LORD,God the Powerful,and unique who is pure of what men in their iGNORANCE ascribe to Him-37:180 5-the worst of creatures un the sight of God are those who are deaf and dumb and do not REFLECT-8;22 |

AlBaqir:Naam,made the research some years back,to my utter bewilderment the character ibn saba neva existed in islamic history but was a fictitious character coined out by the so called followers of the sunnah to push people away from the shias seeing that a dialogue with dem will be to no avail He also said they "the shias deceives people with dier knowledge which was their other resort seeing that the fraud of ibn saba has failed "I wonderwat kind of worshipper they think Allah is looking for may a dummy one who has no intellect or no thinking faculty. One reply to them is how can some1 without accurate knowledge of God worship him accurately and anoda is if our sole aim is to worship Allah,and Allah creates nothing in vein why has he given us intellect and made intellect one of the most important tool of the human being?.mayb they should go back to the wordings of the koran and c hw many times Allah has mentioned the importance of intellects therein..may ALLAH keep us on the right path 1 Like |

Truthpallbearer:Hmm..guess ure dumbfounded..that's not the issue here..only obeying the verse of the koran which says "do not let your hatred for a group of people drive you towards committing injustice",this verse and the likes are example of verses which our sunni clergy men forget when dealing with d shias instead of following the prophets method of dialogue deh result to violence and rebelliousness which in it self is a sign of defeat I will like to mention anoda point here..It is glaring enough that the sunnis and the shias are "enemies" so to speak.now d point is why go to a sunnis to inquire about shism..if this is a correct approach why do we blame the non-muslims for going to their clergy men nd rabbis to inquire about islam |

Truthpallbearer:"Seek for knowledge even if it were in china" am sure u know who made dis statement,am also sure u most av noted by now dat he made dis statement wen china was a pagan nation! Zakr naik always sets stage to dialogue with christians and hindus am sure he wouldn't av if he had no knowledge of their religious practice and views but what amaze me is dat when we speak of the shia we are always told by our clergy men that we shouldn't go to dem and deh will add a line dat bitters me "deh will stain ur faith" I always ask my self that how can a shia stain my faith wen d non muslims,the athiest and the likes can't there is only one possible "what deh possess is better than wat I have" then I made up my mind to dialogue with them nd I tell you it was the greatest moment of my life nd I have discovered that they completely different from the pictures designed,computerized and installed into our software by our clergy men Indeed shias are my best frnds and I'm sure the same will happen to any one who dialogues with a true shia nd does it without rancor or a derogatory view but with d aim of trying to know them better 2 Likes |

Why not see the video yet,and avoid basing our judgments on hearsay...when some1 bring forth a news to u verify d news first so as to avoid spreading conspiracies. Knowledge and key..."Do not follow that which u have no knowledge of" do personal findings of your own nd not base ur judgement on what mufti menk,zakir naik or d likes said I am a realist |

malvisguy212:In d quoted u made mention of d fact dat Gods nature is infinite,His moral unchanging and also of Him being eternal,,is dere any human with such qualities? NO! So it is glaring dat d laws wich govern d human specie isn't dsame as dat of God..mary giving birth without a consort is a miracle permitted by God to proof his might nd power to d humans, of course he also created adam nd eve without a parent And we knw dat when a human gives birth he gives birth to anoda human,if dis laws wich operates in d terrestial realm do dsame in d celestial den if God gives birth he will give birth to anoda God.nd u said in d above dat God cannot give birth to anoda God like Him...if dis is true has God given birth to a human? Or a God less dan him? If he has given birth to a human,what sense does it make nd if he has given birth to a God less dan him are u saying dere exists two Gods? Please clarify me and happy sunday |

Op...I congratulate ur inquisitiveness,well I can't say if ure asking to knw or asking to disqualify buh I will assume d earlier nd God willing we will learn for each oda 1st your topic is revolved around the fact"if mary can give birth without being laid why can't God do dsame Here I will also put it to u dat if marry could die why can't God dsame,nd also I will like to let you knw dat everyhuman being needs a child to avoid extinction,as everyhuman will one day die so he ensures dat he leave behind sum1 dat will inherit him..can dis case b applied to God? Will God go extinct? If no why den will he need a child....nd finally if u say God needs a child u nullify d fact that He is FREE OF NEED...nd if u nullify Dat very important fact ure saying HE is vulnurable and imperfect |

Akpos and Musa were caught in a Northern african country, sharing a smuggled barrel of beer. They were arrested and taken to the Sheik's palace for questioning and judgment. Akpos lied that Musa smuggled and forced him to drink the beer! Both were initially given a death sentence but, as it was a national holiday, the Sheik decided they should be released after some lashes of the whip. As they were preparing for their punishment, the Sheik said, "It's my first wife's birthday today and she asked me to allow each of you 2 wishes before your whipping, but you cannot wish not to be whipped!" Akpos thought for a second then said: "Please tie two pillows to my back before whipping." And my second wish is that you flog me only 20 strokes of the whip. He was whipped, and luckily for him, the pillows helped to make the pain of the whip lesser. Musa saw this; thought for a second, then said: "Thank you, most royal and merciful highness for the wishes. My first wish is to receive 100 lashes with the strongest, toughest whip available.", Akpos laughed and thought Musa was a fool...The Sheik replied with a puzzled look on his face," and your second wish?" Musa replied "Tie Akpors to my back!" |

Bubba dies in a fire and his body is pretty badly burnt. The morgue sends for his two best friends, Daryl and Gomer, to identify the body. Daryl arrives first, and when the mortician pulls back the sheet, Daryl says, "Yup, his face is burnt up pretty bad. You better roll him over." The mortician rolls him over, and Daryl says, "Nope, ain't Bubba." The mortician thinks this is strange. Then he brings Gomer in to identify the body. Gomer takes a look at the face and says, "Yup, he's pretty well burnt up. Roll him over." The mortician rolls him over and Gomer says, "No, it ain't Bubba." The mortician asks, "How can you tell?" Gomer said, "Well, Bubba had two a**holes." "What? He had two assholes?!" Exclaims the mortician. "Yup, every time we went to town, folks would say, "Here comes Bubba with his two assholes." |
