    Water witching....well witchin...

    Seen it happening, for everything from water witching to ghost busting. People who do it perfectly say it works in a particular state of consciousness, where the instrument and mind kind of connects. No personal experience though. How did it work for you? Was the "sense" mental or physical? No...

    Muslims, Professions and Halal Work

    This is an old book, my first intro to the workings of "money" https://archive.org/stream/CreatureFromJekyllIslandByG.Edward-G.EdwardGriffin#page/n3/mode/2up The stuff is considered conspiracy theory by a lot of people. You will have to make up you own mind

    Muslims, Professions and Halal Work

    Its complicated. Islamic economics and modern economics are based on two completely different sets of values. Firstly, in an Islmaic state basic necessities are supposed to be taken care of by the state. Baisc food, health, security, education, housing, and insurance for all that are state's...

    Muslims, Professions and Halal Work

    Well you have to follow your law. But Islamically speaking, if you invest that money in a equity/business, then the derivative/profit will be perfectly allowed. But bank isnt taking any risk, which is inherent in a business. Which means bank is always making money regardless of business...

    Will, Its difficult to understand if you dont know the basic principles of Islamic economics. If you are really interested, try "problem with interest" by Tariq al Diwany. Simply putting it, Islam wants both parties to be partners in both profit and loss. In interest based systems, one side...

    Muslims, Professions and Halal Work

    Islamic scholarly tradition is still stuck somewhere in 11th century. Things have changed a lot since then and the scholars dont realise that. They dont realize that the microphone and laptop they are using were invented by some christian, manufactured by some chinese, and both funded by some...

    Need help with Arabic dua translation and transliteration.

    The word mystic has got its own cultural baggage, and cant be used as a translation of the word sufi. A mystic is usually a guy who claims to have unitive experiences, sees things, and does nothing. The word sufi has also got hundreds of different meanings. One who is continuously in some...

    Need help with Arabic dua translation and transliteration.

    No no no, you got me all wrong there. There can never be such a thing as dua for black magic. What I have quoted above is dua against black magic, which is a collection of quranic verses, according to a hadith of tirmidhi. Hadhrat Ubay bin Ka'b (rd) reports that he was once with Rasulullaah...

    Need help with Arabic dua translation and transliteration.

    Surah is a quranic chapter, masnoon is a prayer which comes form Prophet Muhammad through hadith, dua is prayer. Shreekh and mardeekh I have got no idea.

    Need help with Arabic dua translation and transliteration.

    It is basically asking God to subjugate the servant of "this" surah urgently, whose name is abdul karim, for the sake of "shreekh" and "mardeekh" and what moses said on mountain toor. From my limited knowledge, you are playing with some unknown entities here. Its not some Quranic or Masnoon...

    my 'baggage' with Sunday School and Preachers...

    Quran was mainly recorded by memory during Muhammad's time til today. After every revelation scribes used to memorize and write it down on bones and leaves etc. Its said that in the last year of Muhammad's life (after revelation was finished) he recited the complete version in Traweeh prayers...

    One (ex?) Jew's journey to not believing the Torah

    The Rabbi said,"Go learn. Study. And then, if you look inside your heart, you’ll find the truth". And that I guess is the bottom line

    The "Dreamtime" in a Nutshell

    so how do people reach there, the dream time/space. Is there some initiative process/curriculum, or are you just born to travel through the non-material realms? And what does the soul do, before and after material life?

    Mankind were one community..

    do you have any links for proper hate speech by ZN. or answers that drive people away from practice. Last of his shows that I saw was his debate with SS Ravi shankar. It has been 8 years now, I dont know what he has been doing afterwards.

    Mankind were one community..

    Well, I wont ask any body to like him if he doesnt want to, but the article was pretty damn stupid. This brand of preaching was invented by Deedat, as a retaliation to Christian missionary tactics. So his techniques mirror missionary techniques. You might not like the style, but the end result...

    As with all metaphysical questions, you arnt gonna get a scientific answer. God is metaphysics, DNA is science. Keeping them reasonably sepatare keeps life easy. If we take this Jesus is God's DNA argument further, Adam is double divine dna, and Eve is single divine DNA. That makes Adam God's...
