General Discussions / regarding 9 : 101 and 15:17-18
« on: July 23, 2015, 03:39:28 PM »
Dear Forum Members
Salam
What do you think about the three times punishment described in the following verse.
9 : 101
Among the Arabs around you are hypocrites, as well as from the city people; they are audacious in hypocrisy. You do not know them, but We know them. We will punish them twice, then they will be returned to a great punishment.
One more verse to understand.
15:17-18
And we have protected it from every devil expelled. Except one who steals a hearing and is pursued by a clear burning flame.
What does it mean by hearing? and another question is, if it is protected then how could anyone steal a hearing.
Thanks.

Prophets and Messengers / Re: Did messengers get scripture or law?

Brother Joseph
Salam.
Thanks for your response.
If you don’t mind, I think it would be nice to add this explanation of verse 57:25 in your article titled `END OF PROPHETHOOD - CONTINUATION OF MESSENGERS?’ to avoid misunderstanding. (How dare I am to suggest you!! ) please don’t take it otherwise. If you don’t feel it is necessary then just leave it.
Sincerely pray for the excellence of your here and hereafter.

Prophets and Messengers / Did messengers get scripture or law?
« on: July 17, 2015, 03:15:22 PM »
Dear Joseph Islam.
Salamun Alaikum
In the article titles `END OF PROPHETHOOD - CONTINUATION OF MESSENGERS?’ you said -
` from a Quran's perspective, it appears that a prophet of God is charged with greater tasks and is entrusted with delivering scripture or law. Furthermore, messengers are sent to confirm a message.
That means, as I understood, messengers did not get scripture or law.
But in the following verse it seems different. Is it?
`We have already sent our messengers with clear evidence and sent down with them the scripture and the balance that the people may maintain in justice.’ (57:25 part)
Did I miss anything?
Best wishes.

« on: July 15, 2015, 04:21:00 PM »
Salam.
In 4:43 it is said that if we dont find water then
`seek clean earth and wipe over your faces and your hands.'
Earth itself a dirty thing. Is not it? Then how can we clean our face using it. Is their any other meaning of the CLEAN EARTH?
One more question: There are many verses started with `O Who believes!' among those which are for immediate recipeints and which are for all the believers immediate and away? How can we understand that? Is there any linguistic differecnces or other measures to differentiate it.
If answers of these questions are already given in this forum, would anyone please give me the link.

General Discussions / example of dog in the verse 7:176
« on: July 13, 2015, 02:28:46 PM »
Salam.
I just Failed to understand the example of dog in the verse 7:176
7:176 And if We had willed, we could have elevated him thereby, but he adhered (instead) to the earth and followed his own desire. So his example is like that of the dog: if you chase him, he pants, or if you leave him, he (still) pants. That is the example of the people who denied Our signs. So relate the stories that perhaps they will give thought.
Since dogs cannot sweat, it's their way of cooling their body temperature. Isn't it? Also, some dogs just do it to feel the air brushing against their tongues. So what is the similarity between dog and those people who follow their own desire.
I look forward to hear your thoughts on this.

« on: June 28, 2015, 04:15:57 PM »Dear forum members
Salam
I shall put forward some questions here in a regular interval to make a better understanding of some verses of Holy Quran. Hope that you will help your best. If any of the questions are already answered, please give me the link.
What is the meaning of the words bahirah, saibah, wasilah, ham in the verse 5:103. Some say that these are slit-ear she camel, or a she-camel let loose for free posture, or idol sacrifices for twin births in animals, or stallion camels freed from work.
Is it ok?
5:103 Allah has not appointed (such innovations as) Bahirah or Saibah or wasilah or ham. But those who disbelieve invent falsehood about Allah, and most of them do not reason.
Also failed to understand another two verses 6:143, 6:144
6:143 (They are) eight mates of sheep, two and of the goats, two. Say, `Is it the two males forbidden or the two females or that which the wombs of the two females contain? inform me the knowkledge, if you should be truthful.'
6:144 And of the camels, two and of the cattle, two. Say, `Is it the two males He has forbidden or the two females or that which the wombs of two females contain? Or were you witnesses when Allah charged you with this? Then who is more unjust than one who invents a lie about Allah to mislead the people by (something) other than knowledge? Indeed, Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.'
Thanks.

Salam
while reading The Quran a few questions came in mind. Two are as follows:
It seems that the target audience of the verse 2:187 is believer man. What's about believer women, if they want to go to their male.
(2:187 part- It has been made lawful for you during the night of fasting to approach your women. )
In the verse 2:184 it is said that `fasting is for a limited number of days.'
But we practice it for a month. Why?
If these are already discussed in this forum, would anyone kindly forward me the links.
Thanks.

« on: February 25, 2015, 05:54:11 PM »
Dear Joseph
Salam.
Recently I read your article titled
'ALLAH' IS NOT AN EXCLUSIVE NAME FOR GOD
http://quransmessage.com/articles/allah%20is%20not%20an%20exclusive%20name%20for%20god%20FM3.htm
It is very useful. But in a place you said that -
`Whether we call Him Rab, Lord, God, Almighty, Krishna, Khuda, Yahweh, Elohim, Adi Purush (Timeless being); Para Brahman (The absolute Truth) , El, Eli, Eloi, Jehovah, or whichever beautiful name we call Him, it is with respect, humility and grace that we take His name with the sole intention that He is One and Only One that we serve.'
Here you mention Krishna as a supreme power, actualy who is a deity, worshiped across many traditions of Hinduism in a variety of different perspectives. Krishna is generally recognized as an avatar of Lord Vishnu. Many muslim scholars also think that Krishna might be a Prophet of his time. Some say, he is an important historical figure. So, is it ok to include his name in the status of TIMELESS BEING? Is there any scope to respect him as One and Only One like Param Brahman (The absolute Truth) or Bhagavan who also represent the concept of abstract God to many Hindus who are religious but do not worship a specific deity.
Best Wishes.

Dear sister Seraphina
Salam.
Thanks for your explanation. But I am afraid I have failed to make my point clear.
As you said, `Reaching the highest rank of 'mumin' can't be easy for everyone, but becoming a muslim is.' So addressing higher ranking people (O you who believe!) why Allah would ask them to die as lower ranking stage (Muslim)? They have already achieved a higher stage. If the addressee were Mankind then it was understandable.
Or is it the reason that Allah wants mumins to be careful so that they might not slip from their higher rank to a position that they even loose their identity as muslims?
As Allah said it, there must have reason. I'm just looking for it.
