advocatejare:So you are essentially blabbing about what you no very little about? |
advocatejare:First you all say Taqqiya and more likely don't understand the meaning. Then in what context was the urine recommended? Was this a general recommendation? |
advocatejare:I don't drink camel urine and know no Muslims that do. You make the allegation against the generality of Muslims and cannot substantiate your claim. |
advocatejare:Regardless of the topic of this thread can you tell if there's a general recommendation for or instruction to Muslims to drink camel urine? |
AntiisIam:When the one that asks plays too dumb to understand I recall your Proverbs 26 and make better use of my time. |
AntiisIam:It will make no difference to your expensive deaf and dumb spirit |
AntiisIam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCwQHJxew2E?si=7dS4lzyt_EvaZDZ4 |
AntiisIam:Allah is the one, supreme, and all-encompassing deity, different from any idol or tribal god. Even in pre-Islamic Arabia, Allah was recognized as the "God above gods" and recognized as the Creator. However, the pure monotheism introduced by Islam represented a significant change from the pre-Islamic practices, where people would associate partners with Allah by worshiping idols and lesser deities. May Jesus deliver you from the deaf and dumb spirit that bewitches you Mark 9:25 And when Jesus saw that a multitude came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I command thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him Allah is sufficient for me and all my trust is in him. |
AntiisIam:You attempt a claim to be better do answer or the spec in your own eye cannot be removed? You are obviously trying to avoid exposure that you lie when you claim not to understand. I don't know you personally talk less of the Sunday school you claim to teach in so will very less likely come across your Sunday school student who hopefully won't say his Sunday school teacher using the pseudonym on nairaland comfortably lies. |
AntiisIam:Explain what I ask you about Isaiah first. It is very relevant to our early discussion. |
AntiisIam:Do you understand? Isaiah 44 9: All who make idols are nothing,and the things they treasure are worthless.Those who would speak up for them are blind; they are ignorant, to their own shame. 10 Who shapes a god and casts an idol, which can profit nothing? Explain it to me if you do. Then you will understand. I think your problem is where the message comes from . |
AntiisIam:Read and think to understand. You are supposed to be a higher animal with intelligence and intellect |
AntiisIam:Didn't you just post your comment above? Who stopped you? Pathetic reasoning. Indeed you have been a miserable waste of time. If and when you are able to provide irrefutable and verifiable proof to your mad rants we may relate again. Until then get a good learning. |
Explore2xmore: AntiisIam:See yourself? Simple provision of proof you can not provide |
AntiisIam:Do you not know Wikipedia is open source and any body can post anything? Who verifies or validates what is written. Simple find where Hisham ibn al-Kalbi's Book of Idols states Hinduism existed in pre-islamic Arabia and stop this delusional diarrhea. Maybe you should search your Wikipedia for Hinduism in pre-islamic Arabia as I find you unable to do though research or search on your own. |
AntiisIam:As you claim to be a non lazy reader despite your propensity to misrepresent the truth, show in clear terms from the books you alleged due to poor Wikipedia representation convincing refutation to: Hisham ibn al-Kalbi's Book of Idols mainly examines the polytheistic beliefs that were common in Arabia prior to the advent of Islam. Although it references several deities that the Arabs worshipped during that period, it does not offer direct evidence or mention Hinduism as a separate religion that was practiced in pre-Islamic Arabia. The Encyclopedia of Indian Religions offers detailed insights into various Indian religions, including their historical backgrounds and influences that extend beyond India. It explores the interactions between Indian religions and neighboring cultures but does not provide conclusive evidence that Hinduism was practiced in pre-Islamic Arabia. |
AntiisIam:You definitely need to go back to school. Tell if you wouldn't lie how (You called those arab pagans "venerate" beings) equates to the sentence (those who venerate beings or objects apart from Allah)? Where in the latter bracket are Arab pagans referred to as venerate beings? You confused yourself with your response as there appears to be serious mix ups in your comprehension of English.
|
AntiisIam:Present the proof or it's another case of your fabrication as I found you out in relation to what you alleged of Asad by deliberately omitting the condition of the previous verse? State the proofs from Wikipedia you present let's validate. |
AntiisIam:Can you directly show me proof of what you claim I wrote in your first paragraph? Hisham ibn al-Kalbi did not provide concrete archaeological evidence that directly connects Hindu practices to pre-Islamic Arabian societies. Much of the available evidence is circumstantial or interpretative, rather than conclusive. Do well to prove otherwise. While there were indeed interactions between Arabian tribes and Indian cultures through trade routes, there is insufficient concrete evidence to support the notion that Hinduism was an organized religion in pre-Islamic (pre Prophet Muhammad pbuh) Arabia. The archaeological record does not back this claim, and early literary sources do not clearly indicate the presence of Hindu religious practices in the region prior to the rise of Islam. |
AntiisIam:You have failed to clearly identify who Hindu pagans are and do not identify who venerates them perhaps you do. There isn't any concrete evidence that proves the existence of adherents of people practicing Hinduism in pre-Islamic Arabia. Islam is strictly monotheistic, emphasizing the oneness of God (Allah). Hinduism has a more diverse understanding of the divine. Most Hindus believe in a single supreme reality identified as Brahman that is expressed through various deities, such as Vishnu, Shiva, and Devi. Others see these deities as representations or aspects of the same ultimate reality. This is clearly different from Islam and the relationship between believers (Muslims) and Allah. Islam primarily relies on the Quran while Hindu from my finding rely on Vedas; Rigveda, Samaveda, Yajurveda, and Atharvaveda. Islam believes in a many prophets sent by Allah to guide humanity, starting with Adam and ending with Muhammad while Hinduism does not have prophets in the same sense. Hindu has avatars or incarnations of deities, particularly the god Vishnu, who is believed to incarnate periodically to restore cosmic order. This clearly at variance with Islam. Islam believes in an afterlife, final judgement, paradise and he'll while Hinduism believes in reincarnation, where the soul is reborn into different bodies based on karma of individual’s actions and dharma in righteous duty. The cycle of birth, death, and rebirth continues until one attains liberation from the cycle of rebirth. In Islam, salvation is achieved through belief in Allah, doing righteous deeds, repentance, and following the teachings of the Quran and Sunnah. Hinduism in contrast offers multiple paths to liberation, including devotion to a deity, karma (good actions), jnana (knowledge), and yoga (spiritual practice). Liberation is the release from the cycle of reincarnation and union with the divine. Islam strictly prohibits idolatry and image worship, considering it a form of associating others with Allah. Hinduism in difference often involves the worship of deities represented through statues, images, and icons. These representations are considered ways to focus devotion on particular aspects of the divine, rather than the divine itself. There definitely are others but you can read to know more on your on. Essentially though Islam and Hinduism teach principles of morality, compassion, and devotion, they differ fundamentally in their views on God, salvation, worship, and religious practice. |
FreeStuffsNG:Can someone kindly explain what I am missing here? Where is Wimbledon in Nigeria? |
AntiisIam:Obviously you see nothing wrong in your manner of approach. It must be with your mindset and since we are not mandated to interact do keep to yourself. In any case though I am within my rights not to reply it is stated that venerate Hindu pagan worshippers that worshipped Allah in pre-islamic period is not clear in your statement. Who are Hindu pagan worshippers? Are the above greatly respected or reverted and by who? Were they living in Arabia at the time you refer to? |
AntiisIam:You are rather rude in your address and your statement venerate Hindu pagan worshippers lacks clarity. You asked who was being addressed in a particular verse and this has been explained to you perhaps you should clearly show the verses you are interested in as Allah has addressed different people on different subjects in different verses. |
AntiisIam:Clearly you see that the polytheists and pagans are being referred to. I won't pretend to know about Hindu worshippers and ponder why this should be of relevance to me. I only have cordial respectful relations with the Indians I relate with. I don't concern myself with their religious beliefs. It is their prerogative and they have never harmed me or my interests. Perhaps you should ask how God in the Bible speaks first? |
AntiisIam:They are those who venerate beings or objects apart from Allah.The polytheists. Allah speaks to those who worship beings or things alongside Him, things that hold no power to bring benefit or harm. The verse points out their assertion that these entities serve as "intercessors with God." Allah then commands the Prophet to confront them, asking, "Do you believe you can inform God of anything in the heavens or on earth that He is unaware of?" This question highlights Allah's omniscience and supreme transcendence, dismissing the notion of intercessors or partners with Him. The verse reinforces Allah's elevated status, far beyond the associations made by those who worship others alongside Him. |
AntiisIam:Glad you know your questions are not worthy of answers as they are very much unfounded. I oblige you this answer. This verse 10:18 addresses those who venerate beings or objects apart from Allah, thinking that these entities can act as intermediaries with Him. It challenges this belief by pointing out that these intercessors lack the power to either harm or benefit anyone, and it questions whether these individuals can reveal anything to Allah that He is unaware of. |
AntiisIam:You are surely in over drive. When you earlier mischief is pointed out you change tactics. It is clearly impossible for Allah to bare children so you try to equate him to Hubal? Even Hubal didn't bare any child? Do inanimate things bare children? The Idol Hubal was mainly recognized as a male deity linked to war and divination, while the idols al-Lāt, al-‘Uzzā, and Manāt were significant female goddesses embodying fertility, beauty, protection, and fate, respectively. Together, they created a complex tapestry of religious beliefs that defined pre-Islamic Arabian culture before the rise of Islamic monotheism. Allah is different from the polytheistic gods even prior to the advent of Islam, numerous Arabian tribes acknowledged Allah as the supreme deity, the God who stands above all others. And they worship besides Allah things that harm them not, nor benefit them, and they say, 'These are our intercessors with Allah.'" (Quran 10:18)

AntiisIam:Allah is not an idol and never was In pre-Islamic Arabia, the pagan Arabs practiced idol worship and polytheism, despite recognizing Allah as the supreme deity still straying from pure monotheism by worshiping multiple idols alongside Him. They believed that these idols could help them get closer to Allah or act as intercessors in their prayers. However, this practice of associating partners with Allah and idol worship is viewed as a grave sin in Islam. The Quran consistently denounces idol worship and stresses the importance of worshiping Allah alone, without any partners or intermediaries. It's important to note that while the pagan Arabs sought to connect with Allah through various idols during their time of ignorance, true monotheism in Islam calls for direct worship of Allah alone, rejecting any form of polytheism or the idea of associating partners with Him. Is your Bible devoid of text showing syncretism amongst the Israelites? In the ancient Near East, where the Bible was composed, many cultures practiced polytheism. They believed in a hierarchy of gods, often with a supreme deity at the top. This supreme god was sometimes viewed as remote, leading people to worship lesser gods or idols to connect with or gain favor from the supreme being. Baal Worship (1 Kings 18): The encounter between Elijah and the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel illustrates a significant example of syncretism. Even though Elijah was chosen as God’s prophet, many Israelites had incorporated Baal worship into their devotion to Yahweh. Elijah challenges them to make a choice between Yahweh and Baal, highlighting the widespread nature of syncretism among the people. Asherah Poles (Judges 6:25-30): In Judges, God instructs Gideon to destroy his father's altar to Baal and cut down the Asherah pole next to it. This shows that even leaders in Israel were engaging in syncretistic practices that blended the worship of Yahweh with Canaanite gods. Followers of Baal and Asherah believed they were seeking favor from God through these deities, their actions represented a fundamental misunderstanding of God’s nature. Acts 17:16-34: Paul’s speech at Mars Hill demonstrates his understanding of Athenian idol worship and philosophical ideas. He recognizes their altars dedicated to unknown gods while sharing knowledge about Yahweh through Jesus Christ. |
AntiisIam:I would have accused you of the action of the devil's pen but find that you are only trying to be clever not even by half. Do you argue that the screenshot here do not contain the full text of the translation of the meaning of the Quran by Muhammad Asad? The text of one reads: 150. - or is it that We have created the angels female, and they [who believe them to be divine] have witnessed [that act of creation]? 151. Oh, verily, it is out of their own [inclination to] falsehood that some people assert, 152. "God has begotten [a son]"; and,verily, they are Iying [too, when they say], 153. "He has chosen daughters in preference to sons"! The verse 153 is part of the lie referred to in 152. In other translations of the meaning verse 153 is written as Has he chosen daughters in preference to sons? When you read through Quran 37:151-155 if you can put your truthful thinking for a moment you should discern that Allah confronts the erroneous belief that He has children, a notion held by some groups in pre-Islamic Arabia. The verses highlight the ridiculousness and irrationality of this idea, encouraging individuals to contemplate and understand Allah’s true essence. This reminder aims to steer people away from misunderstandings and towards a clearer appreciation of divine unity and greatness.

AntiisIam:This verse explicitly counters the false notion that Allah desired a son. It asserts that if Allah had intended to have a son, He could have easily chosen one from His creation and he didn't. The notion of Allah having a son is entirely dismissed in Islam; Allah is beyond the necessity for offspring or partners. Unique, self-sufficient and incomparable, He does not have any children. This verse reinforces the singularity and distinctiveness of Allah as the One and Only God. AntiisIam:In Surah As-Saffat, Ayah 153 emphasis is about the polytheists saying that daughters belong to Allah; which is an insult. It does not mean that Allah has daughters, in reality. The verse is a question meant to address people and their ridicule. Also, Surah An-Najm, Ayah 19-21 addresses the pre-Islamic pagan traditions, where polytheists erroneously viewed the angels as daughters of Allah, while they favored sons for themselves. The reference to Lat, 'Uzza and Manat as idols serves to underscore the misguided beliefs of the polytheists; it does not imply that Allah possesses daughters. Allah transcends human attributes, such as gender and progeny. He is singular, self-sufficient and incomparable. Muslims uphold the oneness of Allah and vehemently reject any idea of Him having daughters, sons, or any partners. Many tribes in the pre-Islamic Arabia believed in the idea of Allah as the one true God. However, most of the idol-worshiping pagan Arabs were polytheists who worshiped other gods and idols alongside Allah. It was held that these idols could serve as a means of getting closer to Allah or as a means of reaching Him. The reference to Allah goes deeper, for Allah is the highest God to the pagan Arabs who did not have, however, a course in monotheism free from deliberation and those things which are taught in Islam. Allah’s prophet; prophet Muhammad pbuh was sent to instruct humanity in its original state the worship of One God and all sorts of worship other than worshiping the One God were forbidden. Islam returning to being something strange refers to a time when the true teachings of Islam can be visible as surprising or unconventional in society. It serves as a reminder for Muslims to keep onto their religion and adhere to the teachings of Islam, although they're perceived as unique or ordinary by way of others. Very much in consistence with how over time humans deviate from the pure and true faith. The difference here being another prophet as had been done in the past will not be sent again. There however should be the coming of the rightly guided one to try to remind some who will accept but not as a prophet. |
AntiisIam:Specifically regarding the Hadith you pictured; What is meant by Islam started as something strange and verily it will revert to being something strange: Islam began as something strange and will revert to being something strange; the Arabic term used, gharib, translates as "strange" or "unfamiliar." This hadith offers deep insight into the history and future of Islam and can be understood from several perspectives: When Islam was first introduced in Mecca, most people, being idol worshippers, had a grudge towards the new faith, a doting mother’s scorn to a baby that was fighting to hand out and outshine her. The faith rejected polytheism and the cultural norms that tangled its followers and stood for social justice and ethics, a norm for the new. Given the situation, Muslims during the period found themselves scorned, ostracized, and even persecuted for their spiritual beliefs. Moreover, the hadith is proof of what is yet to come in the event Islam starts sticking to the Muslim masses: “And no one will practice Islam except 1 out of 50 people. In a nutshell, society will devolve from Islamic ideals, and the righteous who truly practice Islam will be few. People who are still standing with the original Islamic principles will be considered a minority and are more likely to be termed strange. |
