I would have loved to see his whole life (peace be upon him). As I think it would have brought home to us , how we are so far from the life styles of the Prophets of God. This little Islamic Tradition makes me wonder how many people (including myself) from both Christianity and Islam are living...

Thanks for the reply. Here are some quotes from the Holy Quran which may help you... 'Behold!' the Angel said, 'God has chosen you, and purified you, and chosen you above the women of all nations. O Mary, God gives you good news of a word from Him, whose name shall be the Messiah, Jesus son...

My Islamic perspective.... (Sprirituality can not be understood under you understand the secrets beyong matter)... Lots of people question is there a spirit/soul ? I follow the following logic to come to a conclusion that we have a spiritual being: When you see no light enters your head...

There are many stories which are 'Islamic traditions', I think they are not in the Quran (God's words) or Hadith (Prophet Muhammad's words). I found them in a book called 'Jesus prophet of Islam' by Ahmad Thomson (an English convert to Islam who is a Barrister). ...

Re: War, is it for Nation or for God? Heavy subject, but what is more important in this time that God has created us ? The last century was the bloodiest one for mankind , I think the world wars took the lives of nearly 90 million people ! First of all I would like to list the rules of war in...

Re: Leaving the Catholic church The heart is full of deceipt. Yes it is full of deceipt unless purified by taken actions against the 'diseases of the heart'. Does not negate the fact that the heart feels discomfort at wrong action... We choose to obey orders God gave man freewill, but we...

Re: Leaving the Catholic church The heart never lies. whenever their is a discomfort of the heart, then you know what you are about to do is wrong, this is an innate way to know what sin is. True peace is achieved when the heart is no longer disturbed by the decision the intellect takes. Only...

"Congratulations to the person who has washed his sins with repentance: and has retracted from mistakes before the return (to God) and who has raced to the possible before it became impossible."God, the Exalted and Glorious, stretches out His Hand during the night so that the people repent for...

Am I hording the interest earned? Or am I using it in accordance with God's will? In Islam the end does not justify the means. Any good deed done using an unjust method is not accepted by God. So if you earned $1,000,000 by lending money on interest and gave it all in charity , this would not...

Also my wife is a convert (was Catholic), and my mother and father in-law are still Catholic, my mother and her family are all Christians or Atheists. (although very few of them engage in religious topics, in theUK it's hard to find devoted Christians - I find). So I have a little...

I have lots of version of the Holy Bible at home. I have read alot of the stories. Yes without doubt there are many lovely stories that I would agree on. All religions must have one source as God is not the creator of confusion, so all religious scriptors must have beautiful morals and stories...

It is obligatory to appoint judges and set up a court of law in order to pronounce just decisions to all mankind. What religion would the judges be ? A decision to all mankind - would you enforce your version of justice upon all other religions ? Loans between family and friends is not...

That is the fault of the individual, for failure to adhere to the agreement between the lender and the lendee. The fault is that of the borrower. No one forced the borrower to borrow money. There are terms, and if agreed to by both parties, the terms are binding. It is a sin in Islam, yet Arabic...

The base is the seven Noahidic laws, with the 10 commandments overlaying such. I am not aware of these laws do you have them in a short summary format? I would never charge my brother interest for a loan, that is unconscionable! Are all human beings not equal ? why does this only apply to...

I'm not sure if criminal law falls completely into politics or more in religion. I think religions which do not seperate religion and law see criminal law as part of divine principle not politics. Christianity (I think) sees state laws as a political issue and not a religious issue - please...

It is related that Jesus, peace be upon him, one day passed by a hill in which he saw a cave. He drew near it and found in it a devotee whose back was bent, whose body was wasted, and in whom austerity had reached it's utmost limits. Jesus greeted him and wondered at the evidences of his...

Lots of answers, and lots of text. From the answers I think I can come to the conclusion that from a Christian point of view religion is very much a personal issue. Bringing social, econonmic, family, criminal and other types of laws is left to those in power, whether they are atheists, pagans...

My perspective (I'm Muslim) : Everything except the creator God (Almighty and Exalted is He) is perishing. Everyone will taste death. Death is not a punishment but a door to the next eternal life. God tests us with many trails and tribulations sometimes this maybe : 1. A punishment for going...
