Zakir bro, I think you misunderstand me. I don't try to give the view of Islam being false. The Qur'an is not false. However, since there are many different sects in Islam, it is obvious that there are some false beliefs floating around. I appreciate that you're new to Islam and you might not...

Well, put yourself in Abu Lahab's shoes... would you convert to a religion, or obey a prophet who has eternally condemned you to hell? I just think that this Surah made it impossible for Abu Lahab to ever become Muslim. As for "new" Surahs, I think most Muslims aren't in a position to be able...

Zakir... You know, brother Zakir... These Hadiths (from Bukhari and Muslim) I quoted in this thread don't necessarily prove that the Qur'an has changed... ...the Hadiths themselves could have been fabricated, Allahu 'Alim .

There are plenty of prophecies attributed to Muhammad the messenger of Allah... http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/muslim/007.smt.html#007.3188 http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/muslim/041.smt.html#041.6902...

Belief in the six articles of faith make a person a Muslim, these are: 1. Belief in Allah 2. Belief in his angels 3. Belief in his messengers 4. Belief in his revealed books 5. Belief in the Day of Resurrection 6. Belief in Al-Qadar Sunnis and Shias both hold these articles of faith...

You're avoiding the issue brother. Jesus has NOTHING to do with my argument about Deut 18... Maybe you aren't able to refute my Deut 18 position... It's simple. The simplest explanation is often the most correct explanation... .

Zaakir, do you know that in Islam Allah has a "shin"? .

What I'm saying is, the prophecy they're talking about are the ones found in Daniel, Ezekiel, and Revelations. These prophecies are biblical, therefore they're not false prophecies from a Christian POV. It is the "interpretation" of these biblical prophecies which is being debated, not the...

Actually, I don't think you can accuse the Watchtower society or Jehovah's Witnesses of false prophecy... They did not make a new prophecy at all, they merely interpreted an existing prophecy. And even if they did get it wrong, it's nothing to do with false prophecy, it's just a mistake in...

The problem here is that there is no DIVINE authority involved in the Ijma' Ulama. It's the opinions of men Vs the opinions of men. You should realise that a consensus doesn't make you right. At the end of the day, according to the Hadith about the 73 sects, it will be the MINORITY who are...

Like a thief in the night? .

I'm not a Jehovah's Witness but I'm familiar with the chronology... The last king of Israel had his crown revoked in Eze 21:25-27. It is taken that this happened in 607 B.C.E. but I'm not sure how this date is arrived at (I've forgotten where I saw the explanation). "Seven times" are to pass...

Brother Aidyl Nurhadi is correct that there is no substitute for learning Arabic properly by attending classes/courses run by experts. Chances are, you already know how to recite Al-Fatihah and a few other Surahs. Learning the meanings behind the words will allow you to appreciate, to some...

Lol, on who's authority do you call the Shia "rafidah"? And on who's authority do you call yourselves ahlus sunnah wal jama'ah? Every sect is claiming this distinction, yet neither of them existed during the time of the Prophet. Nobody called themselves a Shia, a Sufi, or a Salafi during the...

If you had taken the time to read my posts, you would have discovered that I HAVE NEVER claimed that Jesus/'Isaa was the prophet of Deut 18. So for me it's not about Muhammad Vs Jesus and putting one of the two into Deut 18, I wouldn't put EITHER of them in that chapter. In fact, Elijah is...

There's a pretty good reason why the early Christians and Jews were unfamiliar with the translation "Jehovah"... It's because none of them spoke English. Insisting on using the pronunciation "Yahweh" to an English audience is as useful as insisting that the name "John" is pronounced...

You know some Christians don't believe that Hell is a place were a person gets tortured or tormented, but they rather believe that Hell is "the grave". A place where you just stay dead, and experience nothing, as if you had never existed. With this belief, it's not very difficult to reconcile it...

Question: Can God completely eliminate himself, and render his own existence utterly irretrievable? If he can - does that make him limited? If he can't - does that not also make him limited? God knows best ;) .

I guess what matters the most is that you 'try' to understand what you're saying. Take it a small step at a time and eventually you will get there insha'Allah. Start with learning the root meanings of individual words in the Surahs you recite maybe, that's what I did. Try a couple of words a...

Not that I don't believe in Evolution or anything, but these changes (from a creationist point of view) only serve to prove "micro-evolution" as opposed to "macro-evolution". Cretionists seem to believe that evolution 'within' a species is possible, but evolving from one species into a...
