Basic Islamic Questions

Dear Staphen C

How did you reach the jugement you rendered about quran?

did you read It? did you study and understand it? Let me show you only few things mentioned in quran which shold make you think otherwise.

Big bang theory mentioned in quran, its mentioned that planets are rotating in orbits ordained by allah SWT , The place of resting of Noas ark is mentioned in revelation as the Ararat range of mountains but quran specifically Mentioned mount Judi.

How could it declare thatMountains are nails to provide stability to earth or else it will be unstable.

Stages of baby in mothers womb even the number of layers(3

creation of Jins (Ghost)

and many others,

Go take any helper and find one thing wrong in quran only then would be able to see how serius you are in rejection with knowledge.

Thanks for reading,  all praises are to aalah SWT but many of the mankind know not.

thanks but not at this time, i was trying to point something out to you but you missed it

The problem, as I see it, is that there have been many people who claim to be Prophets from God when their "revelations" conflict with the "revelations" of other claimants.

I see

StephenC wrote: I believe the correct statement is that Muhammad claimed that a Voice gave him "revelations."  Someone else told Muhammad that it had to be the Angel Gabriel.

someone else ?? and who was this some one else?

You mean Angel Gabriel didn't speak to Muhammed despite what you say you believe in that God and/or the Angels do speak to mankind? I state again why is this different for Muhammad?

I, in my ignorance, do not know of anywhere in the Quran, that Muhammad claimed something to the affect of: "And the voice said 'I am the Angel Gabriel and these are the revelations of God'."

this is a bit silly.

The reason why you don't find anything of muhammad talking is because it is God talking, the qu'ran is the word of God not muhammad's.

Here is a verse stating that Muhammad is the seal of all prophets.

Al-Ahzab (The Confederates)

33:40 [And know, O believers, that] Muhammad is not the father of any one of your men, <>Asad(33,50) ^{truetruetruetruetruetrue&-#">[50]} but is God�s Apostle and the seal of all Prophets. <>Asad(33,51) ^{truetruetruetruetruetrue&-#">[51]} And God has indeed full knowledge of everything.

A cite to cure my ignorance would be most appreciated.

Do you accept this verse and that God appointed Muhammed as the last / seal of all prophets ??

here is another:

Al-A'raf (The Heights)

7:157 those who shall follow the [last] Apostle, the unlettered prophet whom they shall find described in the Torah that is with them, and [later on] in the Gospel: <>Asad(7,124) ^{truetruetruetruetruetrue&-#">[124]} [the prophet] who will enjoin upon them the doing of what is right and forbid them the doing of what is wrong, and make lawful to them the good things of life and forbid them the bad things, and lift from them their burdens and the shackles that were upon them [aforetime]. <>Asad(7,125) ^{truetruetruetruetruetrue&-#">[125]} Those, therefore, who shall believe in him, and honour him, and succour him, and follow the light that has been bestowed from on high through him-it is they that shall attain to a happy state."

Angel wrote: StephenC wrote: So I should not question anyone who claims to have a message from God or an angel? If you believe as you stated that God does speak to mankind and uses angels, why question it ? For me personally I don't see a problem in questioning. The fact that one God exists and is the creator is a given. it's a given is it ?? really, what about those who do not believe in God's existence - is that a given also? I would say it is for them What is your proof that one God exist or just God? Is that a fact or a belief ? which is it? I believe God does speak to mankind and uses Angels. So why is it different for Muhammad ?? However, if I compare undisputed encounters between mankind and God and/or his Angels with that of Muhammad (and Smith, Kresh, etc.) I find significant differences. You don't comput here, what undisputed encounters between God/Angels and mankind? You must've come across some to say such a thing. And why is it a problem that there are differences with that of Muhammad (and smith, kresh whoever he is) ? Are ALL encounters with God and/or Angels suppose to be the same ?

Worship of God is the most important thing we can do, in my humble opinion.  I see the evidence of God in everything.  However, if you wish to debate about God, please let me know.

The problem, as I see it, is that there have been many people who claim to be Prophets from God when their "revelations" conflict with the "revelations" of other claimants.
