Empiree: First all, these pictures are not necessarily evidence confirming the verses of Quran but do you have evidence to suggest it is mixing as shown in the pictures?
Here again, Qur'an speaks:
"And it is He(God) who has released [simultaneously] the two seas, one fresh and sweet and one salty and bitter, and He placed between them a barrier and prohibiting partition." ~(25:53) Isn't it obvious to you that muhamad was describing the layman observation of an event he and is audience understood ? Given that he was a well-travelled merchant, I don't see anything special in this verse. Same also goes for verses describing how the rain "resurrects dead land", these verses are mainly descriptive not revelatory in any sense. The fact that the so-called "partition" does not exist(salt and fresh water do mix) is a minus not a plus for the quran. |
Politics › Re: FG May Withdraw Dogara’s Security Details by neocortex: 10:10pm On Jul 31, 2016 |
Bolustic: It's payback time, the FG and APC national leadership had been looking for [b]auspicious opportunity like this to punish Dogara, there's no forgiveness for political sins. He who lives in glass house does not throw stones.
Meanwhile, shame on those who lambasted PMB for not hurriedly signing the padded budget.
STEALING IS NOW CORRUPTION. [/b] It appears you are not following politics closely, Dogara sacked jubrin after visiting Buhari in Aso Rock in order to look "saintly" then Jibrin not wanting to go down alone decided to indict his brothers in crime. FG withdrawing Dogara's security details is inconsequential, the right thing is for the house to impeach Dogara, he isn't as smart as saraki to survive an house coup. Should he be impeached Dogara's replacement will likely still be a product of the house not APC's decision, so no need jubilating before it is over. Moral of the story do not spite your friend to appease your enemy or better still don't get involved in shady deals. |
Islam › Re: Multiple Bombings Rock Saudi Arabia by neocortex: 1:43pm On Jul 31, 2016 |
Mrreed: it seems you stil didn't get the message. the message of the verse is not to kill but to defend. when someone fights you. are you supposed to fold yur arms? the verse is simple words is 'do no fight if they do not fight you cos Allah is forgiven. remember that this verse came when the muslims where returning back to their home (mecca) if i am stil explaining this to you then you have no knowledge of tafsir.here are some of the things one shud know before it can be said that one has knowledge of tafsir and from the look of things, you dont have any
Usool at-Tafsir literally means “The Fundamental Principles of Qurnic Interpretation”. It refers to those branches of knowledge which are necessary to provide the proper Quranic interpretation (tafseer). This branch of knowledge provides the step-by-step methodology of interpreting the Quran to ensure that interpretations are not merely the result of human whims and fancies.
Uloom al-Quran, refers to all the fields of knowledge which aid in elucidating the Quran. These include the following:
1.Knowledge of tafsir (exegesis)
2.Qiraa’aat (recitations)
3.Ar-rasmul-‘Uthmaanee (the ‘Uthmaanic script)
4.I‘jaaz al-Quran (miraculous aspects of the Quran)
5.Asbaab an-nuzool (reasons for revelation)
6.I‘raab al-Quran (Quranic grammar)
7.Ghareeb al-Quran (unusual Quranic terms)
8.Religious rulings, and Arabic language and literature. my brother you have a long way to go if really u want to understand in clear terms the message of d Qur'an. note: this is not a debate, i m just trying to tll u dats dere are lots of things you dont know about this book and it is just any book like a novel or Gazette that you can just pik up nd read without proper guidance I will call it quit after these. You sound as if you are the only one who understand the quran, it doesn't matter Muhamed himself fought and killed his enemies, that is enough to back my point. Any book/creed that encourages killing ones enemies has no business claiming peace, it doesn't matter if you are the first aggressor or not. Any islamist can claim "defense" as a reason for killing and bombing their enemies and he will be right, since he cannot fold his arms while the enemy bomb and kill his brothers in faith, hence anybody who believes in the defense jihad doctrine is no different from ISIS who are also defending their faith from infidels and heretics. An eye for an eye is a doctrine of the primitive mind, it is unfortunate that the prophet did not envisage a less vengeful world to come governed by humane, civil rule rather than vindictive justice. While I am no fan of the bible, it is quite instructive to note that a book that predates the quran by seven centuries has "Love your neighbor and pray for those who persecute you" in it while the quran exalts muslims to drive out those who drove them out and attack those who attacked them. |
Islam › Re: Multiple Bombings Rock Saudi Arabia by neocortex: 10:59am On Jul 31, 2016 |
Mrreed: sowie it took ds long. being inevitably busy. reqd the verse below to c how u misquoted the Quran. 2:190Fight in the way of Godthose who fight you but do not transgress. Indeed. God does not like transgressors.2:191 And kill them wherever you find them andexpel them from wherever they have expelled you,and fitnah [Persecution] is worse than killing. Anddo not fight them at al-Masjid al- Haramuntil they fight you there. But if they fight you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers.2:192And if they cease, then indeed, God is Forgiving and Merciful.2:193Fight them until there is no [more] fitnah [Persecution]and [until] worship is for God. But ifthey cease, then there is to be no aggression except against the oppressors.2:194 [Fighting in] the sacred month is for [aggression committed in] the sacred month, and for [all] violations is legal retribution. So whoever has assaulted you, then assault him in the same way that he has assaulted you. And fearGod and know that God is with those who fear Him.2:195 And spend in the way of God and do not throw [yourselves] with your [own] hands into destruction [by refraining]. And do good; indeed, God loves the doers of good. it is important for you to know dat before one can be a translator of the quran, one has to knw tafsir. similarly, the word jihad means to strrive this verse specifically warns the muslim not to fight if they are not attacked You are beating about the bus, you once claimed that there are no verses that support killing in the quran, now that I provided them, you now changed tune to "one has to know tafsir". I am no stranger to neither tafsir nor islamic history. And no tafsir denies that killing your enemies(infidels) is wrong. There are no two way about it killing is wrong no matter the justification. In fact exhortation to kill with vivid descriptives should never have been part of the quran in the first place if the aim of Islam is peace. I have a question for you, would you teach your children to "kill those who transgress against them" and retaliate against those who wronged them ? If no, why should Allah sanction the killing of ones enemy ? |

However, Is there a subtle plan to continue to discredit the church?? Gone are the days we hear things like..."Damilola and favour were members of the same church (names withheld)"...People now sensationalize the name of a criminal's church in every negative news whereas, those guys who made first class, broke new records and others doing positive things are hardly associated with their church or with the Church. Shouldn't there be a standard of unbiased reporting If the news read "Damilola, a Redeem member won a nobel prize", you would have jumped with joy and associate your church with the church, but now that a redeemer raped another redeemer you are upset. #SayNoToHypocrisy |

What is your point ? I indonesia is an islamic country, the reason why no one mentions islam in this case is because these convicts were executed for trafficking drugs, a universal crime not a religion-based crime. |

APC too will come up with their own strategies. The only presidential material in APC from the south-east is Rochas and he will likely not get any support from the South-east apart from his home state. Also, Rochas won't make a headway in the south-west because the impetus for "change" has died down. |

APC remain the fastest means to igbo presidency (not as if that's important tho) Typical APC apologists, playing the ethnic card when it suits them, then turning around to blame the opposition for sowing disunity among Nigerians. After Buhari's experiment, many Nigerians would have learnt that candidates principles and portfolio is more important than "our son" tag. What do you think will happen if APC fields Rochas ? |
