General Discussions / Critique - THE LIMITS OF OBEYING A MESSENGER by Hassan

May peace be upon you brother Joseph

First and foremost I would like to thank you for this incredible site may God reward you immensely. I have read your article regarding the limits of obeying a messenger. I have read the points you have made, but I cannot reconcile it with the ayaa below:

"But no, by your Lord, they will not [truly] believe until they make you, [O Muhammad], judge concerning that over which they dispute among themselves and then find within themselves no discomfort from what you have judged and submit in [full, willing] submission." (4:65) [SAHIH INTERNATIONAL]

So here it shows, we have to submit to what prophet Muhammad (PBUH) judges. I cannot fully understand this, as at one place it shows that the Prophet can make mistakes and that we should obey him in a just matter, and not follow him blindly, but in this ayaa, it says we should fully submit to his judgment.

Please forgive me for any ignorance on my part, thank you again for your time .

General Discussions / Can we see God?

May peace be upon you

I had this question that I would like to have some insight on, in the verse below
“On that day some faces will be bright, looking at their Lord.” (Quran 75:22-23)

It shows that we can see God, but a question arises, that how can God be seen if he's not created. If not created, it means he's not designed, he's not matter, he cant be in a created realm.

Another question i had was on the verse below.
"And they urge you to hasten the punishment. But Allah will never fail in His promise. And indeed, a day with your Lord is like a thousand years of those which you count."

How can God have a day, when he's outside time, doesn't this show like he is also bound by time?

Thank you  , sorry for any ignorance on my part. Just a few questions that I cant find the answers for.

General Discussions / Who is the messiah?

May peace be upon you

Lately I had a question in my mind, the messiah according to the jewish scriptures was supposed to do things which Jesus(P.B.U.H) did not do. For example, be the king of Israel. Answers to these questions are usually that he would do it when he comes back again, but then, the article that brother Joseph Islam wrote is convincing that the second coming is not supported by the Quran

Maybe I'm just ignorant on this, but how can he be the messiah if he did not perform the tasks that he was suppose to do?
