The Qur'anic verses that you have cited do not actually endorse the Bible per se. Rather, they convey the established Islamic position that the Qur'an came to confirm things that are true and clarify those things that have been changed(in the previous scriptures). I'm sorry my friend. But the...

Assalamu'alaikum, Yes, of course Islam has a spiritual side. Islam calls for the 5 daily prayers which is one of the five pillars of Islam. It is not merely ceremonial movements and postures, but involves much contemplation and reflection on the part of the practitioner. Further more, there is...

There is No Salvation Without Sacrifice by Ibn Anwar Christians declare that there is no forgiveness or salvation except through the shedding of blood i.e. sacrifice. They will go on to say that the Islamic idea of God just forgiving a sinner's sin is unjust and they will then give their...

Is Jesus a Christian? by Ibn Anwar Recently , on paltalk a Christian entered my room “The Traditional Order of Islam” and asked the room about Jesus. He enquired, ” Muslims believe Jesus is a Muslim. Is this supported anywhere in the Bible?” Before I gave any answer I countered,”What do you...

Assalamu'alaikum, Well perhaps we need more books like "Why Do People Need America" and "Diaries of an Economic Hitman" to expose the real reasons for the strife in the world today. What's wrong with the Taliban? I think they've been given false impression by the media. I know a few Talibans...

Assalamu'alaikum, Anyone got any views on the following in regards to Original Sin? SAHIH MUSLIM Book 008, Number 3471: Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: Had it not been for Eve, woman would have never acted unfaithfully...

The Ruh al-quds mentioned in the Qur'an is Malaikah Jibrail or the Angel Gabriel...He was the one who brought glad tidings to Maryam the mother of Isa a.s. regarding the imaculate conception that she went through....Allah says in the Qur'an that for Him to create Jesus He merely has to say Kun...

Why would we be concerned with the Bible?...Heres a translation of a verse from the Qur'an which will insha'Allah answer your confusion,"The Christians and the Jews will tell you that you will never ever enter Jannah unless you become a Jew or a Christian, 'tilka amanee yuhum' this is no more...

as far as BREVITY is concerned...that's your consideration?....the non-Muslims?....I'm talking about you as a Muslim taking the Prophet's s.a.w. name....just accept the advice brother....stop arguing for the sake of argument.... regarding your final point....I suggest you read again what I...

the word mu'tazilah is derived from the root i'tazala which means to leave or to abandon...and a mu'tazilah is the one who has abandoned or the isolated one. The mu'tazilah emerged during the time of the tabi'een. A certain Imam Hasan expelled them from his circle due to their deviant behaviour...

On who's authority do I call them the rafidah?...I thought I made that clear....the Ijma' Ulama'....ahlul sunnah wal jama'ah is a term that the ulama' came up with to describe those who truly follow the Prophet and his teachings..it's only a description and is by no means a substitution for the...

Yes we go side by side as far as God being the creator of everything. But you see....you're now applying the concept of anthropomorphism to the Divine Creator as what the believers of the Vedas(Hindus) have done. The difference between me and you is that I believe God is one and only one and...

Assalamu'alaikum Warahmatullah again, Amica, one thing you ought to know is that being an Arab does not mean being a Muslim. Salvation is not attained through lineage or heritage Amica. It's through faith accompanied by works. There are more than 14 million Christian coptics in Egypt and...

Assalamu'alaikum Warahmatullah, Khaifa Haluk Amica? :). I hope all is well, insha'Allah. Hmm I see your predicament and not to worry, you're not alone in your struggle. I myself have been learning Arabic for the past 4 years and I'm still struggling. Brother aburaees has given an interesting...

What the man receives is just gross while the women receive net brother...but yes I second your explanation!

This is a very interesting topic and it could go on for ages...but I would just like to touch on a couple of points raised by the quoted. First and foremost, the Ijma' Ulama' of ahlus sunnah wal jama'ah is that the rafidah do not belong in the house of Islam, thus clearing up your allegation...

...... The basic idea of usul muqaranat al-adyan is to analyse, compare and conclude. Regardless of the fact that the Songs of Solomon contain things which Muslims take exception to, that does not mean we should simply put the book aside and categorise it as all together nonsense. If we were...

You should rather wonder why many Muslims bother to quote and talk about the Bible at all "since the Bible is often slated by the same Muslims for it's unacceptable contents"(mockery of Prophets, brutality, cannibalism, pornography, shirk etc. etc.)....don't just limit the scope to the Songs of...

No Mister Brian...I was refering to my responses to certain charges he made against Islam in his posts regarding the Prophet i.e. the Prophet s.a.w. did no miracles and the Qur'an was written 200 years after the time of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w.

interesting response I must say.....regarding your 5 questions....yes Muhammad was a king...he ruled Madinah by the consent of the masses. I cannot unfortunately answer the rest of the four questions. I will ponder on them and will insha'Allah get back to you on them as soon as possible. In the...
