[guardians of the Fire to be angels]

Peace,
Respect.

74:31 And We have made the guardians of the Fire to be angels; and We did not make their number except as a test for those who have rejected, so that those who were given the Book would understand, and those who have faith would be increased in faith, and so that those who have been given the Book and the believers do not have doubt, and so that those who have a sickness in their hearts and the rejecters would say: What did God mean with an example such as this? It is such that God misguides whom He wishes, and He guides whom He wishes. And none know the soldiers of your Lord except He; and it is but a reminder for human beings.

What I saw today was beyond ordinary and I would like to know if over the fire are truly angels.
Before I post the photo, tell me if the angels are standing above the fire, guaridng it.

Believe me, this photo was not planned and 19ers will think harder and more.

Peace.

Peace,

This Wednesday I have experienced an incredible journey.

After I went to sleep, I slept like all other humans, right?
However, when I woke up, this whole world, this whole life, everything and everyone around me and about me - became worthless. Not in a bad, rude sense. It's just that I received a feeling that informed me that I've been .... somewhere beautiful, someplace outstanding. I still feel like I've been outside of this .... life and world. I don't know why do I feel like this but where ever I've been, I wanna go back there and remain there for ever.

I have no idea what happened on Wednesday night but I can assure you that it was not ordinary. God knows Best.
I see life and world in a totally different light. A bad light. Not bad, bad light, just weak, poor and small light. I feel like I've seen or heard or experienced something better, bigger, something more and definetely something much more beautiful then any human can imagine.

One thing is for sure - stick to The Qur'an, winners go to Paradise.
God Bless you.
Peace.

I've noticed this long time ago but didn't pay much attention:

091.015
YUSUFALI: And for Him is no fear of its consequences.
PICKTHAL: He dreadeth not the sequel (of events).
SHAKIR: And He fears not its consequence.

And this same verse on this website and in my translation of The Message>>>>

91:15 Yet, those who came after remain heedless.

My question couldn't be simpler:
why is this sentence different?

And this is just the beginning of what I've noticed.
Stay here, I'll be back.

Peace.

Peace,
Respect.

This is in my view, may God forgive me if I'm wrong and if I make a mistake, correct me, please.

Non-muslim is someone who does not obey God in The Qur'an.

Non-believer does not believe in God at all. Has No Faith.

Wrong believer believes and has Faith but believes wrong. Not in Real God but either in false god/s or commits idol worship.

Christian use to be a derogotory term but now is in use. People who obey The Bible (NT) are Christians.

Raaajah, several Christians I know have accepted Islam and several sunnis I know wanna kill me.
Several Christians I know, also, wanna kill me, mostly otrhodox, back in Slovenia and Bosnia.
Several sunnis have helped me a lot with accomodation, food and money.
There are good Christians and good Muslims and good sunnis and good shias and so on.
There are bad Christians and bad Muslims and bad sunnis and bad shias and so on.
Then there are buddists, hindus, atheists, agnostics, .... people are different in so many areas and at the same time belong to the same species - human species.

Glory be to God.

Peace.

[And who is more wicked than he who invents lies about God, or says: It has been inspired to me, when We did not inspire anything to him; or who says: I will bring down the same as what God has sent down.]

Past saturday, Thank God, I learned another good point about Rashad Khalifa, the man who claimed he was a messenger of the covenant, according to his view of 3:81.
Very good friend of mine, Thank God, told me that the difference between Rashad and the real messengers is that real messengers immediately said they are the messengers and later brought the evidence or maybe at that very moment, while with Rashad this was not the case.

Rashad started with "evidence", several translations of The Qur'an, tons of calculations, trials & erros and delete this and add this and finally, after apparently eigth years of all this "work", he decided or relalised or was told or whatever, that he is a messenger of the covenant according to Qur'an 3:81. Wjy not immediately?

I think - God knows best - RK knew that he will start a commotion and a war with sunnis and he may have known that someone will get really mad at him - which later happened - and that is why he first started gathering members of his community. God knows best.

When messenger Moses came in front of pharaoh and told him that he is in fact the messenger of God, pharaoh challenged him and Moses met challenge. His staff not only turned into a serpent but later on ate magicians tricks.

Messenger Jesus - same case.
Messenger Mohammad - same case.

Rashad Khalifa .... he first started calculating, to make sure that he won't forget anything.
Needless to say, God doesn't forget.
God knew about this long time ago.

If Rashad was a messenger, he should have immediately have told the world what he is and he should have immediately provided the proof from God. But since he didn't have any proof, he went down. Literally.

6:93 And who is more wicked than he who invents lies about God, or says: It has been inspired to me, when We did not inspire anything to him; or who says: I will bring down the same as what God has sent down. And if you could only see the wicked at the moments of death when the angels have their arms opened: Bring yourselves out, today you will be given the severest punishment for what you used to say about God without truth, and you used to be arrogant towards His revelations.

Keep up the prayers, sisters and brothers and
read The Qur'an.
Peace be upon you.

[There was not a nation that a warner did not come to it.]

Peace,
Respect.

This is what I consider last shot.
This verse tells me that all nations received a warner, someone to warn them, like if for example there were satanic verses in THe Qur'an, then a warner would be sent and he would tell people about it, he would warn them and they would rmeove them.

35:24 We have sent you with the truth as a bearer of good news and a warner. There was not a nation that a warner did not come to it.
The next verse tells me more then some people may think. If you read carefully, God willing, you will see what kinda answer did people of HellFire give. They said God did not reveal anything, you are being led astray.
All I gotta do is ask myself who today says that 9:128, 129 was not revealed from God? I hope that people who believe Rashad was the mesenger won't find this as a n insult because it isn't meant as one, it is merely an observation. God bless ya.

67:8 It almost explodes from rage. Whenever a group is thrown therein, its keepers would ask them: Did you not receive a warner?
67:9 They said: Yes indeed; a warner did come to us, but we disbelieved and said: God did not reveal anything, you are being led astray.

67:9 speaks volumes. Volumes! First, it tells me that warner did come but they chose to disbelieve. Then they said that God did not reveal anything. I keep saying that 9:128, 129 is from God and they are opposing me.

And 35:24 is a PROOF that every nation got a warner, yes, even the ones between Muhammad and Rashad.
Okay.

Peace.

Peace be upon you,
with all due Respect.

May God give us all more peace and even more Best health.

(AP)  An Iraq war veteran who police say shot and killed his pregnant wife and young daughter before turning the gun on himself left behind no clues to explain what might have prompted the bloodshed, investigators say.

There was no note and no evidence that there had been trouble between 23-year-old Matthew Magdzas and his wife, 26-year-old April Oles-Magdzas, before the shootings, detectives said.

Please, read this article and ponder over what we have.
WE are blessed with being guided, Thank God.

Only God knowsd best what happened in his mind.
God knows best,
Glory be to God.

Most of the topics here on this thread have been concluded, Thank God, since the followers of Rashad did not provide answers to certain questions that I posted. God knows best. I have a new question now.

First and foremost, I must remind all that I don't hate followers of Rashad, I only disagree with them on certain matters.

Now.
I've been thinking about this appendix of Rashad.
I already knew form before what appendix means but lately I've been thinking about this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vermiform_appendix

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appendix

I'd like you to read the first link, please.
When I was a kid, I believed that appendix in the body simply was like a bag that contained garbage that would pile up in the body and that eventually became full and you'd have to see a doctor and go to a hospital to have it removed and would then be careful what you eat. I was a kid.

May God increase us all in knowledge.
Peace be upon you.

[God comes between a person and his heart]

Peace be upon you,
with all due Respect.

I always stop at this verse and ask myself, if we jave free will:

8:24 O you who believe, answer the call of God and His messenger when he calls you to what will grant you life. And know that God comes between a person and his heart, and that to Him you will be gathered.

And even though I am aware and I realize that we do have a free will and an opportunity to choose and a chance to accept or reject, I still wonder what is the leson/meaning/wisdom in regards to the second sentence of the verse.

Does anyone else have any comments/views regarding this verse, do you see something I don't?
God comes between a person and his heart. I wonder what that means. God knows best.

Glory be to God.
Peace be upon you.

Peace be upon you,
with all due Respect.

I've been playing with this theory and I don't know wheater it is true or not but your comments will show me, God willing.
I will use my own experience.
I was lonely and alone during my time of sunnism. I was a cheap clone and that was all. I wanted a family, big family, lots of people around me, but not just any people, lots of people who would agree with me, who would be of let's say same religion like me. I wanted to be a member of a family who would accept me as I am. I found it on the free minds forum.

Now, is it possible that submitters have maybe felt lonely or too alone in the mass of non-submitters, so Rashad took advantage of this feeling and "united" them? But there was a price: removal of the two verses, installation of the appendixes and so on.

I have a feeling that a certain submitter felt lonely or alone so this submitter took the invitation of the first "family" that offered a hand and that offered an invite. I don't know but I would like to know, God willing.

Anyway, I would love to hear your responses.
I'd appreciate your speedy responses.
God bless ya and keep up the prayers.
Peace.

Peace, Respect.

2:238 is not identical on this website and in the pure and literal translation of The Quran - The Message.


Can someone explain?
Thanks, God bless you.
Peace.

[when the promise of the first one comes to pass]

Peace be upon you,
with all due Respect.

For a while now i've been pondering over this:

17:4 And We decreed to the Children of Israel in the Book, that you will make corruption twice on the earth, and that you will become very high and mighty.
17:5 So, when the promise of the first one comes to pass, We would send against you servants of Ours who are very powerful, thus they managed to breach your very homes, and this was a promise which has come to pass.
17:6 Then We gave back to you your independence from them, and We supplied you with wealth and sons, and We made you more influential.
17:7 If you do good, then it will be good for you, and if you do bad, then so be it. But when the promise of the second time comes, they will make your faces filled with sorrow and they will enter the Temple as they did the first time, and they will strike down all that was raised up.

17:104 And We said after him to the Children of Israel: ?Dwell on the earth, then, when the time of the second promise comes, We will bring you all together as a mixed crowd.?

For a while i thought it was talking about WW2.  Very powerful servants that will be sent to breach their homes, i thought for a while that it was tlaking about nazis entering Poland. But i don't think that is the case. Verse 7 there talks about them who will make their faces filled with sorrow (that's why i thought of those Jeeish being melted in the camps....) and that they will enter the Temple as they did the first time.

My question is, which temple? The one in Israel, where Jewish read their books? Was that a Temple? And they will strike down all that was raised up? Is this a really big war between two armies or possibly a bomb? Bomb can level it all, right?

I'm interested in your opinions.
Peace.

Peace,
Respectfully.

I've been asking myself this question for a while now.
Do you think it would be wise to translate The Quran from English into Slovene and Bosnian language and not from Arabic?

See, my parents are from Bosnia and i'm a first generation born in Slovenia, so i spoke Bosnian at home and Slovene at school and both with friends, simultanously. Thank God. Since the age of 13, i started speaking English and been speaking it ever since, American accent.

Now, considering the fact that we have the correct translation of The Quran in English and the fact that Slovene translation is really not good and Bosnian also not good, i wanted so much to translate from English into those two, since i translate in my mind whatever i watch on TV, we have subtitles. For me, speaking all three languages is like speaking one and the same. And also i've read Slovene and Bosnian translations - really not good translations. Specially 4:34 and that part in chapter 5 about cutting off the hand, then the brackets and suggestions to look for the hadith, .....

Let me know.
Peace.

Peace,
Respectfully.

A friend of mine and i have been having a long discussion regarding the sentence sallalahu alahi we salam and it seems that him and i can't really agree if this is to be said every time someone mentions prophet Muhammad or not.

My friend has provided me with this:

33:56 God and His angels bond upon the prophet. O you who believe, you shall bond upon him, and comply completely.

And based on this ayya from The Quran, he says that we are ordered from Allah SWT to say the above mention sentence in order to bring blessings upon prophet Muhammad.

I disagreed and gave him these two links:

http://submission.org/muhammed/salawat.html

http://submission.org/muhammed/glorify.html

If anyone knows for any more proofs why we don't have to say the above mentioned sentence after we hear someone mentioning prophet Muhammad, i'd like you to please, kindly, come forward and post it.

God bless you.
Peace.

[so in which narrative after this one will they believe]

Peace,
Respectfully.

7:185 Have they not looked at the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that God has created? Perhaps their time is drawing near; so in which narrative after this one will they believe?

Sunnis: well, we believe in sahih hadith of imam bukhary. Why? Because it says sahih on the cover of the book.

45:6 These are the revelations of God, We recite them to you with the truth. So, in which narrative after God and His revelations do they believe?

Sunnis: in the narrative by ....sahabas. Remember them?

77:50 So in what narrative, after it, will they believe?

Sunnis: In the narration by sahih hadith of imam Bukhary, like i said before, also sahih narration by imam Muslim. For two reasons: one: it says it is sahih on the cover of the book and the guy?s name is Muslim, so he?s gotta be honest, right?

I hope i didn't insult any sunnis with this but this isn't meant to be a joke, this has been going through my mind for quite some now and i always wanted to know how would this conversation go in real life between a Muslim and a sunni. Since i can't put words in their mouths, i wanted to see how it would look on paper/screen.

If you have any comments, let them be seen on the screen, please.
God bless you.
Peace.
