General Issues / Questions / Is the Quran the last scripture

« on: June 20, 2012, 06:45:58 PM »

Can anyone provide philosophical and quranical proof as to how and why, would the quran be the last scripture and muhammad the last messenger, if you think counter-wise, bring proof for your side as well. 

Thank you.

General Issues / Questions / A few questions

« on: June 11, 2012, 06:27:34 PM »

I am conducting a study, and answering these questions would help me develop it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1 - Were you born and raised by a religious muslim family ?

2 - Aside from finding the wrong in today's Islam (hadiths), which most see as the direct and irrefutable guidance from the One, why have you decided to affiliate yourself with the philosophy, or the spirituality, or the religion of islam ?

3 - Do you think the quran is a book of law and subsequently subscribe to moral relativism, or rather do you think it is simply a reminder, because morality is shared and universal ?

4 - If you are a religious muslim, what in your opinion, is the use of the Quran ?

5 - If rather, you view islam as a philosophy, what in your opinion is the use of the Quran ?
 
6 - Do you pray ? If yes, why ?

7 - Do you think prayer is a concept that has any quranic grounding ?

8 - Do you believe ''Allah'' to be a single God ruling the universe, or do you rather subscribe to panentheism or pantheism ?

9 - What is the political view supported by the Quran in your opinion ?

10 - Who will be granted paradise, the good believer or the good atheist ?

Thank you.

General Issues / Questions / Eessa never gave back life

« on: May 23, 2012, 06:26:58 PM »

In verse 3:49, we are given an excerpt of the speech given by the messenger eessa (who is not Jesus) to the people, where he says that he can ''uhyî l'mawta'' / ''give back life (or reincarnate) to the dead'' by the leave of the all-knowing. In verse 5:110, it is the all-knowing that is ''speaking'' to the messenger eessa and tells him that by its leave, he could ''ukhrijû l'mwata'' / ''bring forth the dead''.

uhywi ≠ ukhrijû

Because it is said that the dead cannot come back, in 3:49, the messenger eessa was somehow mislead and he never really gave back life to anyone.

General Issues / Questions / Philosophy: To take money, from banks

« on: May 20, 2012, 10:42:40 AM »

Democrats, religious.. skip this thread.

As the present system is usurious, and we gain not even the 10% of the fruits of our labor, can the 'taking of money' (to not say 'stealing' because you are only taking what is yours) from banks really be regarded as immoral ?

General Issues / Questions / Philosophy: Sex before marriage

« on: May 16, 2012, 07:41:20 PM »

The current understanding of the muslim mass, is that sexual intercourse before marriage should be avoided. Though, as with all things, we must put this explanation to the test, and if it fails philosophically, then it is simply wrong. If not, then we are following blindly, acting as sheep, and thus ignoring the advice of Allah.

And so I ask the philosophical or/and moral (true morality, not morality that is based on culture) reasons to support this understanding, because I cannot find any.

Thank you.
