Salaam,

7:180 And to God belong the beautiful names, so call Him by them; and ignore those who blaspheme in His names. They will be punished for what they used to do.

20:8 God, there is no god but He, to Him are the beautiful names.

59:24 He is God; the Creator, the Initiator, the Designer. To Him belong the most beautiful names. Glorifying Him is everything in the heavens and the Earth. He is the Noble, the Wise.

Peace.

This is a great post, very enlightening.

Mr Deen

Gloryfing him, or similar phrases, those who glorify the name of their lord, could probably better be translated as, praising the lord.
It does seem to be that people of satanic ways, are often advocates of fixed ideals/idols, non-thinking, that reduces to behaviour that signs of wanting sex, either as a male or female spirit. "Always willing".

While religious texts, state, be not lustful, and advocate, progression, growth, and letting one evolve, think, reflect. Appreciate. Be intelligent, not go against oneself.

And ofcourse experience something so much higher; Peaceful interaction, and the worship of God.

Peace.

I believe God is Emmanent as well as Transcendent. That's not to mean God is the rain or God is the Sun, rather everything is God's will manifest leading us to be all connected to God. Even though he may not manifest himself in a singular entity we can see, His signs and His Light are everywhere.


To Allah belong the east and the West: Whithersoever ye turn, there is the presence of Allah. For Allah is all-Pervading, all-Knowing.

Mr Deen

I do believe that, try to keep you mind with God, and the Quran, and eventually you will come closer to him.

His name is the Lord.

I am no different from the other messengers, nor do I know what will happen to me or to you. I only follow what is inspired to me. I am no more than a clear warner.

Yes, from my understandin. Heaven is above.

67:16 Are you secure that the One in heaven will not cause the Earth to rupture, thus causing it to shake?
67:17 Or are you secure that the One in heaven will not send upon you a violent storm? Then you will know the value of the warning.

mr wallace,
but to suggest He is 'up there' is contary to 2.144.

and mr deen,
i am a bit confused here - you say that His name is 'the Lord.'
is that not His position, or status?
when one says, "the name of the director is spielberg," is the name 'the director' or 'spielberg'?
