Groupthink - Is the condition the writer suffers from. "Let's just do things as we met others doing". A honest response would've been admitting even mosque Imams MUST recite audibly at noon and afternoon, not silently. This is the response of those devoted to Qur'an.



Of course, for a traditionalist, history would be more authoritative than Qur'an. And community conformity must be protected even at the expense of truth.
You dont get it?. This is not about history is most authoritative over Quran. It is about companions saw how the prophet prayed. How does that multiplied to authority of history over Quran?. I have seen a sunni boy who asked online sheikh question that he is finding it difficult to recite silently the salat zuhr and Asr. Sheikh told him exactly what i said. That's, if you are with congregation behind imam, you have to follow imam. You do not raise your voice or pray differently. Otherwise, you will be causing fitna in the mosque. Now, i have not said you're not muslim if you recite zuhr and asr aloud but i said you should do so when you offer salat in isolation.

And no, you can not tell imam to recite out loud zuhr and asr. Imam is authority in the masjid even if he is 6 years old you must obey him.

Can you show me where shahada is CLEARLY written and pronounced, without ambiguity, in the Qur'an?
You didn't answer my question. What is Shahada?


true2god:
You can easily get the meaning by typing 'shahada' on google page and you will get the answer.
since you chose not to answer which is very deceitful of you, I see no reason to waste time here.



Shahada is TESTIMONY

Testimony to what?. To Oneness Of God.

Oneness Of God is Laa ilaha ila Allah
(There is no deities besides Allah)

We can find this all over Quran.



The second part is TESTIMONY to the messangership of Muhammad. Allah affirms prophet Muhammad is His messanger.



"... the (true) believers are those only who believe in Allah and His messenger and afterward doubt not, but strive with their wealth and their lives for the cause of Allah. Such are the sincere." Al-Qur'an 49:15



Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah Q48:29



When the hypocrites come to you [Prophet], they say, ‘We bear witness that you are the Messenger of God Q63:1

Thank you true2god

Moslems are quick to say "Show us EXACTLY where Jesus said. ... ...." Now let empiree show us exactly where the SHAHADA is in the koran.

Let him tell us if a person can be a Moslem today by believing in Allah ALONE without believing also in Mohamed.

Quoting half verses to try to prove point is simply DECEIT. This has been used by Moslems to blind millions to the true Islam.
what is shahada?. Shahada is clearly written and pronunced several places in the Qur'an. Also testimony of prophethood of Muhammad is written clearly in the Qur'an. What is the meaning of shahada?

Yeah forward ever and backward never. I believe in all spare, we'll ALWAYS go higher Insha Allah. Una just dey reap papa sweat upandan lol, its well! May Allah have mercy on their soul(Amin).
Papa still dey grin shocked

"Death Wobble" kicks in when you are on the top speed like 60MPH. Gradually it reduces and kicks in at 40MPH at any slight hit. This shows it is getting worse. But it doesn't have to hit object before it wobbles. The vehicle shakes violently at front end and it can cause serious accident especially if there is upcoming car right behind you. It suddenly slows down on highways.

Gear and brakes are incapacitated at that moment. It lasts for up to 1min. It is scary. It happened to me several times until I finally gave up and took it to dealer.

Watch death wobble

It is true people avoid Pontiac a lot and the reason been that its part is not easy to find in Nigeria. Hopefully, I find buyer soon for that jeep.
this is 2018 now. I'm sure most of those auto parts dealers can easily order parts from overseas. They like giving excuses. And thanks for the good gestures. Again, I'm not shipping until there is potential buyer.

The Egyptians had been been embalming their corpses before the death of Pharaoh and even after him. This was not the work of Allah .

There is a clear difference between the word SAVE and PRESERVATION .

I would not have replied you in anyway especially when you have stated to CURSE because of mere argument.

I don't curse people because God makes me to know that it is not wise :

Psalm 109:17-18 KJV
As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.
[18] As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.

This means that curse of insanity is not mine . You need to go and pray so that God can cancel that curse from your head.
I wanna know what exactly your problem is?. Is it that you have problem with choice of word used by the translator?. Even if "SAVE" was used we understood it in that context. Here is another translation from another translator , Sheikh Abu Ala Madudi(attachment). He used "PRESERVED" which is more appropriate.

That's Islamic hypocrisy; always misquoting their own Koran to drive home a point. No dignity, no shame! He cannot show where we have the shahada in the Quran because it never existed. This what they call 'bida' or innovative in Islam. Mohammed never asked anyone to say the shahada before accepting islam. What early Muslims did was paying verbal allegiance to Mohammed's leadership authority among the Muslim ummah.

The shahada was introduced into Islam years after the death of Mohammed, probably by one of the khalifa.

Salat is to be said aloud. Read and digest these verses - Qur'an 17:110. The word used is salat, not dhikr.
Oh no, I mistook this for another ayah sometimes ago. Thought this was it. This ayah is salat, as in daily salat context not dhikr. Yea, if you wanna recite loud voice fine. But when you join muslims in congregation you have no choice but to follow Imam. If you offer your zuhr and Asr in your privacy, recite loud if you want. That's btw you and Allah. But when you are with muslims in congregation you must conform with majority. I dont wanna waste time by citing historical background bcus it makes no eaming to you. But as i said earlier, the people who were present with prophet saw him prayed. They knew when he was silent and when he was loud in salat.

Again, if you want to recite Zuhr and Asr aloud, do so only when you offer them in your privacy alone

This was his request. Let's analyse (3:38)

“There did Zakariyya pray to his Lord; he said My Lord! Grant me from Thee good offspring; surely Thou art the Hearer of prayer.”


original Arabic word used by Allah in the ayah is thurriyyatan (offspring or seed). Offspring by definition indicate biological son he requested for. Did i get you right this time?.

If i may ask what are you thinking?. Why did you decide to question this?.

It is bcus you greeted me with the greeting word of PEACE "salaam alaikum", which means "peace be unto you". And i am required by islamic Law to reply walaikum salam which means "and peace be upon you too". How do you have problem with that?


If you show me the shahada in the Qur'an I will become a Muslim now.
Remember this promise of yours. You give your word and you must keep your word.



Can you show me the ayah you have the shahada in the quran? The answer is none. salama lekum!
Let me just keep it simple. Let's see how you react first. This first pillar of Islam is stated clearly in the Quran exactly as it was revealed to the Jews and Christians of previous Scriptures. The Testimony of faith or shahada in the Torah (Old Testament) reads:


"Hear, O' Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is One" Deuteronomy 6:4-5

The same Testimony is confirmed in the New Testament in the words of Jesus (Mark 12:29).



The Shahada authorised by God in the Quran affirms the same truth:

(Allah) God bears witness that there is no god but He, and so do the angels and those who possess knowledge. 3:18


Also in this verse

[Quran 21:25] We did not send any messenger before you (O Muhammed) except with the inspiration : "There is no god except Me;(Allah)


These two verses are enough prove of shahada. You said if i provide prove from Quran you will revert to islam. Here you go. Now in case you wanna question other half of shahada, which testimony that Muhammad is messenger of God, here we have


Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah ; Quran 48:29



Qurah 4:166:

But Allah bears witness by what He has revealed to you that He has revealed it with His knowledge, and the angels bear witness (also); and Allah is sufficient as a witness.

Only prophet Muhammad has the honor to be affirmed after testimony of faith. You will not hear muslims say Laa ilaha ila Allah Isa(Jesus) is messanger of Allah. Or Laa ilaha ila Allah Musa(Moses) is messenger of Allah. Or Laa ilaha ila Allah Ibrahim(Abraham) is messenger of Allah etc. What you will hear is Laa ilaha ila Allah Muhammad rasulullah (is messenger of Allah}. Only prophet muhammad has this honor.

Being in Senate for 16yrs is not the problem at all. The problem is doing the right thing. It doesn't make any difference if you elect someone else so long as the grand plans don't change which is CALLING THEM TO ACCOUNT if they loot public treasures or not executing their official duties.

There are senators of 30 or more years in the US. Take John McCain for instance. Re-electing senators is not the problem. The problem is, what the heck they do there. You can elect other people and they had still do nothing for you. Grand structure (which include their responsibilities. That's what you need to challenge.

IslamRe: Islam For Muslims: Side Talk Station by Empiree: 5:40pm On Sep 05, 2018
I get what you are saying. I do not have any intuitive knowledge beyond what is expressly revealed in this ayah. He(angel) said: So shall it be, your Lord says: It is easy to Me, and indeed I created you before, when you were nothing. He said: My Lord! give me a sign. He(angel) said: Your sign is that you will not be able to speak to the people three nights while in sound health. Qur’an.Surah Maryam 19:8-10.

Like for instance, Isa ibn Maryam(as) was expressly profiled by Allah that he was born without father but mother. In the case of nabi Zakaria, both parent were present but non-functional seductively. The ayah above was in response to his prayer that Allah could still make them produce. We can take nabi Ayyub(as) for instance. He was sick for long that one might think he would not make it but Allah restored him in second...something that would have took years at hospital to recover from. I hope you get my point?.

So far, i see no indication that nabi Yahya came from unknown background beyond his biological parents mentioned in the Quran. His birth was also miraculous because he was born of a barren mother and an aged father while Jesus was born of a virgin mother. They both came from women. Even if you explore intuitive shuyukh, the sufis, they said the same. Like Sheikh Sasili in his lecture titled "Story of Zakariya", he did not differ from this ayah.

My reference to fatwa is relevant to this discussion since you make a claim that the Quran is absolute, that is supreme. If that is the case, I now ask you, which Islamic documents do the muftis or ulamas consult more extensively before making a religious ruling? The Quran or the hadith?

You also make a claim that the Qur'an contains zero or no error, do you mind of I give you scientific, historical and geographical errors in the Quran?

The 2 Biblical account of death of Judas are not contradictory in that both accounts confirmed that Judas died . What can really be considered contradictory is by saying he died in one account and did not die in another account , like what is in the Quran :

The Quran tells us that Pharaoh was saved in the Red Sea and did not drown. Surah 10 :90-92 :
1)
Allah SWT says:
وَجٰوَزْنَا بِبَنِىٓ إِسْرٰٓءِيلَ الْبَحْرَ فَأَتْبَعَهُمْ فِرْعَوْنُ وَجُنُودُهُ ۥ بَغْيًا وَعَدْوًا ۖ حَتّٰىٓ إِذَآ أَدْرَكَهُ الْغَرَقُ قَالَ ءَامَنْتُ أَنَّهُ ۥ لَآ إِلٰهَ إِلَّا الَّذِىٓ ءَامَنَتْ بِهِۦ بَنُوٓا إِسْرٰٓءِيلَ وَأَنَا۠ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ
"And We took the Children of Israel across the sea, and Pharaoh and his soldiers pursued them in tyranny and enmity until, when drowning overtook him, he said, "I believe that there is no deity except that in whom the Children of Israel believe, and I am of the Muslims.""
(QS. Yunus: Verse 90)
ءَآلْئٰنَ وَقَدْ عَصَيْتَ قَبْلُ وَكُنْتَ مِنَ الْمُفْسِدِينَ
"Now? And you had disobeyed [Him] before and were of the corrupters?"
(QS. Yunus: Verse 91)
فَالْيَوْمَ نُنَجِّيكَ بِبَدَنِكَ لِتَكُونَ لِمَنْ خَلْفَكَ ءَايَةً ۚ وَإِنَّ كَثِيرًا مِّنَ النَّاسِ عَنْ ءَايٰتِنَا لَغٰفِلُونَ
"So today We will save you in body that you may be to those who succeed you a sign. And indeed, many among the people, of Our signs, are heedless"
(QS. Yunus: Verse 92)
* Via the Beautiful Qur'an https:///QLwc8B

The same Quran also tells us that Pharaoh was not saved but drowned :
2)
Allah SWT says:
وَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ يٰٓأَيُّهَا الْمَلَأُ مَا عَلِمْتُ لَكُمْ مِّنْ إِلٰهٍ غَيْرِى فَأَوْقِدْ لِى يٰهٰمٰنُ عَلَى الطِّينِ فَاجْعَل لِّى صَرْحًا لَّعَلِّىٓ أَطَّلِعُ إِلٰىٓ إِلٰهِ مُوسٰى وَإِنِّى لَأَظُنُّهُ ۥ مِنَ الْكٰذِبِينَ
"And Pharaoh said, "O eminent ones, I have not known you to have a god other than me. Then ignite for me, O Haman, [a fire] upon the clay and make for me a tower that I may look at the God of Moses. And indeed, I do think he is among the liars.""
(QS. Al-Qasas: Verse 38)
وَاسْتَكْبَرَ هُوَ وَجُنُودُهُ ۥ فِى الْأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ وَظَنُّوٓا أَنَّهُمْ إِلَيْنَا لَا يُرْجَعُونَ
"And he was arrogant, he and his soldiers, in the land, without right, and they thought that they would not be returned to Us."
(QS. Al-Qasas: Verse 39)
فَأَخَذْنٰهُ وَجُنُودَهُ ۥ فَنَبَذْنٰهُمْ فِى الْيَمِّ ۖ فَانْظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عٰقِبَةُ الظّٰلِمِينَ
"So We took him and his soldiers and threw them into the sea. So see how was the end of the wrongdoers."
(QS. Al-Qasas: Verse 40)

It wouldn't have been considered a contradiction if one surah had said "Pharaoh was "found floating on the sea dead" and another surah saying "found dead on the sea shore".

But this very Quran is the liar , a book written by man-hammad
and not God.

Can you see why it is not good to jump into conclusion without being sure of what you are doing?

If the Quran were perfect , there wouldn't have been need to support it with hearsays ( Hadiths ).

We have proved to you the idolatry in Islam and its fake or Google revelations and now , a plain contradiction and lie.

What else is there for you to learn b4 you accept Jesus Christ who raised the dead , heal the sick , created a bird from mud and died for our sins to give us eternal life ?
Jesus does not belong to anyone but to everyone.

The Qur'an is of no value in Islam; it is just a book used by Muslims to deceive the kafirs. The real books Muslims used in their day-to-day religious practices is the hadith and the sirah. Stop deceiving yourself.

You make a claim that some parts of the bible is corrupt, especially the ones that refute Islamic beliefs, can you provide the incorruptible Bible, by Islamic standard, so that I can throw away the current Bible I have?

Definitely, Insha Allah, my next car would be jeep for sure. I can see your upgrade in your SUV choice over year..From Lincoln Navigator to the present one.




Yes! Toyota is extremely popular here especially Toyota Camry (pencil), is like pure water lol. While Honda is much used in the north.

Most of those auto mechanics don't have those modern equipments, they will be using trial and error for those new cars, and God save you they don't mess up your car at the end.

So you will be looking at buying 2018 model, if this fly/sell soon. I will show a friend this if he'll be interested. He is banker anyway. He likes jeep a lot!
I honestly don't go flashy or pursue new models every year. All the cars I bought in the past were basically for side business. I used none of them permanently except for 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee pictured. I wouldnt give that one up if not that it developed "death wobble" that called for national recall. So they advised me to let go and upgrade.

However, I see recently it is a good business to rather buy fairly new like 2015 and sell it in nija rather than dealer here. But honestly, if I'm able to sell this, I'm getting 2017 or 18. I don't wanna go back anymore in Sha Allah. Papa don worked hard for me so make i dey enjoy nau grin. I used to buy bunch of 2001 and sell them back home like Pontiac Montana (my first car), Toyota Camry'01, Chevy Impala (bought this from police detective), Nissan Altima and Lincoln navigator. Sold them all in nija except Pontiac given as a gift..

But then, they were skeptical about Pontiac and impala. These models aren't common in nija. Honestly I don't like to use things commonly used by others. If I am staying for extended time there I have to bring a new innovation. They need to think out the box a little. Maybe that will force auto shops to upgrade or go to school for upgrades.

Few hadith may help to understand verses,
Glad you said this. You are coming along gradually. No one forces you to accept all hadith narrations. What is required of you is to abide by the practices of fard: Salat, zakat, Ramadan and hajj. U have criticized all these.

These obligatory practices were demonstrated by the prophet himself. There is no way you can refute this. If everyone is to pray, fast or perform haj according to their understanding of Quran, then, there would have been no unification or no universal congregation like Jummah. I know you have turned down congregational daily prayers but how about Jummah which is self explanatory (CONGREGATION and OBLIGATORY)?.

Obviously everyone would pray diversely if we were to take your manhaj into consideration. I have seen QUR'ANite prayed before. It is ridiculous. Their practicals differ. That's all I want to you to accept(as we pray). This is where you are misguided. Anything else, you are not necessarily bound. Like Sun you have been talking about. Like sitting while drinking. Like doing everything from right side and countless others. These are not necessary. What is mandatory is you follow the majority the way we pray, fast, zakat and hajj. Otherwise you are innovator.

As for loud or silence in prayers as you indicated above, that's dhikr Quran is talking about not salat. Salat was practicalized and companions was him (saw)

It is true that there are cases where we have 'son' by tongue. Such 'son' is not a biological son. Example of this was Nabi Ibrahim(as). QUR'AN says his father was Azar but he was in fact, paternal Uncle. Some said his biological father was a Jinn.

As for Nabi Yahya, there is indication that he was prophet Zakariya's both biological and spiritual son.


Nabi Yahya's birth was a miracle because he was born of a barren mother and an aged father. Prophet Zakariyya (peace be upon him) prayed to Allah (Glory be to Him) to bless him with a son who could prove to be a successful heir and preacher of the religion of Allah (Glory be to Him). “He said: My Lord! surely my bones are weakened and my head flares with hoariness, and, my Lord! I have never been unsuccessful in my prayer to Thee). And surely I fear my cousins after me, and my wife is barren, therefore grant me from Thyself an heir. Who should inherit me and inherit from the children of Yaqoub, and make him, my Lord, one in whom Thou art well pleased” Qur’an.Surah Maryam 19:4-6.


He's kinda protesting in that ayah. His prayer was promptly granted. The Qur'an says: "0' Zakariya! Lo! We bring you a glad tidings of a son whose name is Yahya. We have given the same name to none before him.'' Qur’an.Surah Maryam 19: 7.



The Prophet Zakariya asked out of curiosity, “He said: O my Lord! when shall I have a son, and my wife is barren, and I myself have reached indeed the extreme degree of old age? He(angel) said: So shall it be, your Lord says: It is easy to Me, and indeed I created you before, when you were nothing. He said: My Lord! give me a sign. He(angel) said: Your sign is that you will not be able to speak to the people three nights while in sound health. Qur’an.Surah Maryam 19:8-10.


There isn't indication of third party father in the Ayah above. The discriptions given in these Ayah pointed to biological heir.

Walahu Alam

Your attempt at muddling things up further reveals how ignorant and/or intellectually dishonest you are, the hallmark of a true Muslim.

The Quran is never Islam's only source document; we have the Qur'an, the hadith and the sirah. The Quran is not always detailed and/or clear hence you need the sirah, the hadith and the tafsir to clear up the confusions in the Quran. All the 5 schools of Islamic jurisprudence accept this as a fact.
Listen, Quran is the ONLY absolute REVEALATION. And I said it is a PRIMARY source. I never told you it is the only source. There are only two sources, Quran & Hadith(second source). Seerat(biography) is what is written about you which may contain inaccurate information about you. Besides, we are only using Qur'an and Bible here. You guys are the ones sniffing around. In that case, I have the right to use or cite references from your bible studies which include history books outside of the Bible.



You can try to muddle up issues as much as you want which further exposes your dishonesty.

I laughed when you tried, again, to muddle up the prophecy of the coming of Christ, and at the same time brought Mohammed into the equation, using the Christian scripture which you Muslims claim to be 'corrupt' or had been 'corrupted'. You Muslims are 100% confused.

How is it convenient for Muslims to lie with straight face?
we never told you that ENTIRE Bible is corrupt. We said Bible is mixed up with falsehood and truth. That's why we use Quran as standard criteria to figure out truth that is in harmony with Quran. However, falsehood therein overshadows the truth.

Example of this manifested earlier when the two guys can not give us accurate identity of Jesus. You have been here for long too and none of you guys can give us identity of Jesus without mixing nonsense with it. This is the reason you always look in to Ibn Ishaq for CONVINIENCE. Quran is the only absolute truth. Neither Hadith nor seerah is 100 accurate.

Anytime we debate Christians we use Quran vs Bible 85% of the time, untill you guys start sticking your nose in the Hadith which happened here anytime you guys can't defend yourselves.

true2god:
Stop mixing things up bro; you are being intellectually dishonest. Read my post again, I said that the Qur'an contains less that 10% information (not history) about Islam. The sirah rasul allahh is the earliest biography about Islam and Mohammed available anywhere.
Sorry bro. Islam is Qur'an. QUR'AN it's Islam. Quran is REVEALATION not history books. Quran is the only accurate Divine Book that's guaranteed protection.

When it comes to Islam, the first thing we turn to is Qur'an that's our primary source of information. Not a piece of literature elsewhere. Quran sits in Judgement over everything else. You had better off saying "information about Islam". History is separately written by people which may contain inaccurate information.



true2god:
1)The Quran does not contain how Mohammed became a fake prophet.

2)The Quran does not have information on how khadija took Mohammed to her uncle, waraqa.

3) The Quran does not tell us how Mohammed became suicidal when the so-called angel jibril attempted to choke him to death, etc. There are many things Muslims believed and taught that are in the sirah but not in the Qur'an. If some are embarrassing to Muslims, it is not my fault.

There is nowhere it was recorded that Joseph was 99 while Mary was 12 at the point they married. You can show me the document if you have any. This information is only circulated by Muslims to justify Mohammed's marriage to Aisha when she was 6.
Why didn't you answer this if you want to talk about Qur'an doesn't give information how prophet Muhammad was a prophet?. Why did you skip this?


Empiree:
1- Did Moses have any witnesses or was he foretold in any previous book to prove that he was truthful?


2- Did King David have any witnesses or was foretold in the books that came before him? How do you believe in his revelations when he slept with his neighbor's wife?


3- Did Solomon, Ezra, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Job and the rest of the Prophets foretold each others? How do you believe in Solomon's revelations when he said that his wife's "vagina tastes like wine" for him?


4- Were the Disciples of Jesus foretold in the Bible?


5- Was the Disciple Paul foretold in the Bible, since he never even met Jesus in person?


The answer to the all of the above is NO! None of the Bible's Prophets except for Jesus and Muhammad were ever foretold.

American President - Donald Trump explains his statement against Africans:

"If after 50 years of independence you have not built the necessary infrastructure for your people, are you humans?

"If you sit on gold, diamond, oil, manganese, uranium... and your people don't have food, are you humans?

"If to stay in power, you buy weapons from strangers to kill your own citizens, are you humans?

"If your only social project is to stay in power for life, are you being human?

"If you despise and shoot your own citizens like game, who will respect them?"

"if you take all resources meant for development of your country for personal property are you humans?

" if you leave your country healthcare unattended and treat yourself abroad are you humans?

"Until your leaders think less of themselves and more about your people. You are not human but animal.

��Think about this and share.

No , I don't agree.
Good. You don't agree because it is not explicitly mentioned in the Bible that 99 year old Josef married 12 year old Mary. Therefore, you are under no obligation to believe historian. Am I right?.

It is the same with historian called Ibn Ishaq that true2god is talking about. He wants to teach you Islam but he said if you want to know about Islam you should study sirah of prophet Muhammad (saw) written by In Ishaq. He said Quran only contains 10% history of Islam.

Now if you are sincere enough, why would you wanna believe historian who is not the prophet and his writing is not a Divine Book, the same way historian wrote about Josef and Mary?. In Ishaq was not the prophet but historian. Why would you wanna believe everything he said?.
