Sending Muhammad as the last Messenger. 

The Holy Scripture Al-Quran and Sunnah Rasulullah as a quide for humankind for eternity.

A Loving and Caring God, also a Merciful God would not let us be in this world without any kind of guide to reach Him?

He created us in order for us to seek Him. How to seek Him if there is no guides or guidelines for us to follow?

Try this anomaly. You are required to pass this exam, yet you are not given any notes, books or teachers to prepare you to pass this exam. And in the exams there are statements that says - Choose the correct answer. If you do not read any notes or read any books, or have any teachers to teach you, how do you know the answer? Perhaps one or two question you can get it right by luck, by getting all the answers correct has a very slim chance.

So He with His Mercy and Compassion, had sent prophets, messengers and scriptures as a guide to mankind to return to the folds of Allah's Love. to submit to the will of God.

layalee- yes I feel very blessed too.

Interesting article on 2 different views of predestination in Christianity.  Is there more then one view in Islam?

Nur-Ilahi very good analogy!!

Believer,

Have you ever asked yourself, that we live in the same world, stand on the same earth, drink from the same water, breathe from the same air, eat from the same source, since Adam till now, how could there be more than One God managing this whole wide world and beyond?

Could there? What do you say?

John 3
16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

greatest love of ALLAH is that he allowed liars to lie

greatest love of ALLAH is that he did not let IBLIS to die

In THORA in INJIL Jesus is just one INSAAN

no he is son of GOD now Say's john the BE IMAN

There is only ONE True GOD- YHWH.

2 words poga:

Taqiyya

Kitman

YES, Allah does allow lying YHWH does not.

YHWH and Allah are the same God, the one and only God of Abraham, Ishmael and Isaac. YHWH is the aramaic transcription of God, Allah in Arabic means the one and only God. Even arabic speaking Christians say Allah when referring to God

Jesus was the messenger sent to the descendants of Isaac. Mohammad was sent as a messenger to the children of Ishmael and the WORLD, To correct the deviations purpetuated by man in the other faiths.

Exodus 20 prohibits the followers of God to allow worship of any other than himself. No creation was to be elevated to the status of worship or to be associated as a partner with God. This has been stated in the Greek hebrew Gospels as well, When Jesus began his ministry and went to the temple to read, he read the traditional phrase used to this day in Judaism as an opening (from the Torah) "Hear, O Israel, the Lord your God is One God....."

Jesus, at no time, called himself a god or compared himself to the one that had sent him. The Council of Nicea injected that philosphy under the influence of the pagan Roman emperor Constantine in the 3rd century CE. It was a Indo-Roman-Greek philosophy that believed and practiced human divinity. Ever read greek or Roman mythology? All your gods and goddesses became saints, (patrons for different causes, comparable for example, Mary's attributes became that of Hestia, the goddess of the hearth and home and patron of mothers, etc.) the Roman feast of the Saturnalia became Christmas, etc. Most holidays today have pagan origins. Mohammad was sent by God to correct some of these misconceptions, as Jesus was sent to redirect the path of the Israelites.

This is the Great Love of the Merciful and Compassionate God, to offer a path of repentance and forgiveness, a chance to follow the path he makes available to us when we err from true worship. What are we but products of clay?

i am not an ARAB i am BENGALI

so TAQIYYA and KITMAN means as far as i know holy hypocrisy to save ones life

in INDIA Taqiyaa means bed and there we use holy hypocrisy to save our life

and as for your YHWH i gave you part of SWEETSWORDS 53 [ ALLAH ]

Mr Barzakh Fitrath Ullah : GOD said YA HU
GOD said it is i who alone speaks and listeners are all of you
GOD said i gave four stones engraved with divine letter
GOD said these four pure alphabet is my name what no impure JEWS have right to utter
So JEWISH priests
They placed the four stones like piano reeds
They purified them self before they can even touch the stone
Like the telegraphic buttons for the ALLAH'S phone
GOD said YA HU
GOD said i am the pure ISLAMIC name not for the filthy JEW

from SWEETSWORDS 53 [ ALLAH ]

The greatest love from Allah is creating the Earth (s) and Heavens and all that dwell in them.

I feel Allah's greatest love when I think of my existance, He created me when I did not exist. All praise and thanks are due to Allah.

Perhaps now you are lying, or you have not actually read your bible.

Genesis Chapter 27 goes into detail of how Rebecca and Jacob had to lie and scheme to save what would be the great "Israel" through theft. This is due to the Torah's description of a completely incompetent Issac who could not tell the difference between the back of his hand or his rear end. This supposed lack of common sense of such a man of God is problematic and places doubt on the historicity on the Torah and is further evidence that the Torah is only interest in bolstering the the clans of the southern kingdom, as opposed to the northern kingdom of Israel.

God (in your bible) condones the lying that took place to "steal" another man's inheritance. You cannot rationaly justify it by making it out to be "good, wholesome, Christin lying", vs the every day run of the mill lying, without committing the fallacy of special pleading. The last time I checked, Allah does not allow theft, nor the theft of anothers rightfully gained inheritance.

Hi,

As a believer in the Quran, and what I understand from it, every act of God is Great,  there is none that are not so great. That is unlike Judeo-Christian Bible, where God sometimes need to repent for what He intends (read Jonah 3:10).

But to answer your question, in my opinion and understanding it is the guidance (the Word of God) and the ability He gave to each one of us to benefit from it. This is because of His love for us. And thus for you  "The Geatest act of Love".

He guaranteed our salvation and success if we truthfuly use them both.

Hasan

Is Taqiyya and Kitman  in the Quran?  Or is it hadith?

LOL!  Andalus- finish the story.  Here is a link to it in a nutshell:

http://www.childrenstory.info/biblestoryforchild/chdbbljacobandesau.html - http://www.childrenstory.info/biblestoryforchild/chdbbljacob andesau.html

Rebekah thought she was doing the right thing by sending Jacob away so he and Esau would not harm each other. Little did Rebekah know that sending Jacob away "for a while" would turn out to be twenty years!

Nor did she know that she would never see him again; Rebekah died before Jacob returned. Imagine how much happier their family could have been if they had trusted God to follow through with his plan.

We are often impatient and think that we need to help God along. True, we should simply just sit around waiting for God to do his thing. We do need to be careful about pushing and doing what we think is God's will. Many times God surprises us in showing us what he has planned. Let's keep our eyes and mind open to God's possibilities.

 Rebekah thought she was doing the right thing by sending Jacob away so he and Esau would not harm each other.

 Believer, you have not been able to answer the question of andalus. There had been a clear case of cheating the prophet of God i.e. Issac by his own wife and son. How could that be true. I have visited the site mentioned by you. But that is just like a novel.

 That is like doing a bad thing and then trying to justify it. It is very clear that Issac was cheated. He was going to do the right thing, i.e. giving the blessings to his eldest son Essau. But the matter was cleverly (very cleverly and rather shamefully) snatched away from the rightful heir.

 This is nothing to do with any christian. It only concern the Jews. But the christians are also tied up with it through the king David who killed an innocent man (Commander) and snatched his wife. What are all these things in the sacred books of Jews and christians about their ancestors !!

 We Muslims do not believe that any such thing happened. So our minds are at rest and we do not blame Rebeka or Jacob. But the material is there in bible OT and knowing that, the believer should not please talk about Kitman. He should look after his books in which clear lies are being told and cheating is done to snatch the spiritual inheritance.

 The answer given by believer is worse than the crime committed by the elders in the books.

minuteman - this story has to do with everyone, it is an example for us to not follow.  Deception, lying- ALWAYS has a price!   Lying is against the GOD of truth. 

 I am sorry I am not better at explaining it to you

yes honeto- very good one.

It seems many people are stating things which are of personal expression and saying it is from the books.

We should all learn and understand our scriptures before making any suggestions which can mislead others.

YUSUFALI Translation: Hast thou not turned Thy vision to those who declare that they believe in the revelations that have come to thee and to those before thee? Their (real) wish is to resort together for judgment (in their disputes) to the Evil One, though they were ordered to reject him. But Satan's wish is to lead them astray far away (from the right).

Proverbs 8:27-31

When he prepared the heavens I was there; when he decreed a circle upon the face of the watery deep, 28 when he made firm the cloud masses above, when he caused the fountains of the watery deep to be strong, 29 when he set for the sea his decree that the waters themselves should not pass beyond his order, when he decreed the foundations of the earth, 30 then I came to be beside him as a master worker, and I came to be the one he was specially fond of day by day, I being glad before him all the time, 31 being glad at the productive land of his earth, and the things I was fond of were with the sons of men.

Robin: The only thing he, God, directly created was Jesus, all other things were created via Jesus as his, that is God's "master worker"

Proverbs 8:27-31 do not prove what you claimed. However, these verses really interest me again. Two questions:

1-     Who is the speaker here? Isa a.s.?

2-     Who are the sons of men, with whom was the delight of the speaker?
