    Muslims: What does Sura 11:27 mean?

    While I dislike most of Maududi's commentaries, I find his introductions to each surah to be quie good and easily understood here is his introduction to Surah 11 Name This Surah has been named after Prophet Hud whose story has been related in vv. 50-60. Period of Revelation If we consider its...

    Blacks aren't the only minority killed by (racist) white cops

    Sadly it is true. We run into considerable prejudice because my wife is Cheyenne. Over the years it has often been an issue and we are both older people that seldom leave the house.

    Question about persecution of early Muslims and 2:190

    I think I caused some confusion. You are correct that fighting in the physical concept is limited to self defense only. However, fighting is not limited to physical conflict. There are Jihads of peace such as the negotiation of treaties that will serve all. The battle to not succumb to...

    Question about persecution of early Muslims and 2:190

    wa Alaikum Salaam While it is an accurate translation, one needs to read a little further to understand what is meant by limits and transgressions. 190. And fight in the Way of Allah those who fight you, but transgress not the limits. Truly, Allah likes not the transgressors. 191. And kill them...

    The Angel of Death in Islam

    I do not find anything in the Qur'an or Ahadith that could be interpreted as being one or many Angels called the Angel of death. Neither statement can be confirmed or rejected from the Qur'an and Ahadith.

    Unique terms..

    There are quite a few supplications used by Muslims. Many have become common place My Personal Favorites Ma Shaa Allah--While the translation is "The will of God was done" The meaning is more along being "Thank God. for his Mercy" It is a statement of appreciation In sha Allah--"If God...

    Making speculations in Islam

    very good points. I have not doubt that if Muhammad(saaws) did not say those exact words he would have had something very similar. The 3 Ahadith from Sahih Muslim are: 7055 Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: Between the two blowiings of the trumpet...

    Making speculations in Islam

    True and correct may not always be the same. It is true a man saw the sun rise this morning, but that is also incorrect as the sun did not rise, the earth is rotating. Perhaps if you name something said that you believe is false. We can reach a conclusion if it is True, correct neither or both.

    Making speculations in Islam

    as-Salaamu Alaikum, Just my own opinion. I will speak only in regards to Muhammad(saaws) As I am not certain and can not verify we have the actual words spoken by any other Prophet(PBUT) Anything in the Qur'an and the Hadith Qudsi are not the words of Muhammad(saaws) now in the remainder...

    former Christians who became Muslim what made you turn away from Jesus ?

    Paul says God is for both Jew and non Jews, and who ever have faith in God will be justified by God. Interesting. So Paul is essentially saying there is no need to believe Jesus(as) is the Messiah and saviour. That is reasonably close to the teachings of Jesus(as)

    Making speculations in Islam

    While "bi la Kaifa" does translate to English as "Without asking How" I find that the general connontation to be more like "beyond our understanding" this is used almost exclusively for things concerning the attributes of Allaah(swt) as used in the Qur'an and/or Ahadith. Such as: “You are the...

    Making speculations in Islam

    as-salaamu alaikum, We are humans, just as most people are. We do speculate, have opinions and even make commentaries. Being human we can be in error with our speculations, commentaries and opinions. It is imperative that if we do publicly make such we must make it very clear the opinion is...

    former Christians who became Muslim what made you turn away from Jesus ?

    According to what many perhaps most Christians believe is the appearances after the resurrection from the grave were before the ascension of Jesus(as) into heaven on the 40th day. Paul on the road was long after the biblical ascension to heaven. This contradicts John 16:7 Nevertheless I...

    former Christians who became Muslim what made you turn away from Jesus ?

    I see it as "What teachings of Paul support the teachings of Jesus(as). Paul completely removed Judaism from the teachings of Jesus(as) it was Paul who removed: Circumcission The dietary laws The 613 Mitzvah It is quite difficult to find where Paul taught anything that Jesus(as) taught. Just...

    former Christians who became Muslim what made you turn away from Jesus ?

    No longer live as close to Pine Ridge as we did. But still have family and friends there and visit often, weather permitting. The Lakota, Oglala, and the entire Sioux Nation are very close to our hearts and a large part of our lives. They are my wife's family by birth and my family by marriage.

    " Will the real Paul, please stand up" A very good reason to doubt the Authenticity of any writings attributed to Paul.

    While God(swt) knows the future and it is through his will it will happen. The choices are of our own doing. Man is responsible for the future of mankind
