Neither, Jaiket. Only a few months ago, we saw on TV how a tsunami can drown entire coastal villages in the matter of a few minutes and caused hundreds of thousands of casualities. What I'm asking is why, in addition to storms, rain and floods, could there have not been a tsunami at the time...

God created angels in such a way that they can only obey Him. They can't disobey. They are creatures of light without free will. According to the Qur'an, God introduced free will to two types only of His creation: the jinn (creatures made of fire), and the human race. Satan, according to the...

The Qur'an does not mention that it was a global flood. Here are a few more research papers from a conference held in 2003: http://gsa.confex.com/gsa/2003AM/finalprogram/session_9644.htm Having seen the tsunami in Asia of last December, where 250,000 people lost their lives from "waves as...

It's really worth a visit, as it offers a great historical and cultural holiday. Next time I go there for a visit, I'll try not to make it in the summer, as it can be a bit hot, maybe spring is the nicest. Cordoba had the larget library in Europe with more than half a million books and...

It's only a theory, Brian, which may be correct or maybe incorrect. However, the sequence of events suggested by the author can take place, it's not as if they are impossible. Believers in the three Monotheistic religions, (Jews, Christians and Muslims), believe that a great flood did take...

Salam and thank you for your answer. A year ago, the National Geographic web site had news of a similar expedition going to Turkey for excavations: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2004/04/0427_040427_noahsark.html Since then, there hasn't been much in the news. Time to visit Turkey?

Greetings to All: An interesting theory by James Marusek on what caused Noah's Flood is summarized as follows: "A large comet or asteroid impact in a glacier ice sheet produced the Biblical Great Flood which brought the last Ice Age to an abrupt and sudden end."...

Is this article dated 2004? Do you know of any later news on the excavations?

There is to Him no equivalent That's an interesting comparative religion issue. God is the light of the Heavens and the Earth, according to the Qur'an. "Al-Noor", i.e. (The Light), is one of His 99 attributes. However, Muslims don't go further than that, as we believe that there is to Him...

Re: Discover Islam TV Peace to you Friend, and thank you for your welcome. It seems a bit quiet around here for the moment. The answer to your question is yes. Cordoba in Southern Spain used to be a leading center of knowledge, tolerance and civilization 1,000 years ago. When I visited...

Re: Who is the Creator? - The Eternal First Cause That's a good question. Logically-speaking, all what exists around us has a start and an end. A baby is born, then grows and 80 years or so later he dies. This person is not eternal, which means he is created. The same applies to stars...
