Assalamu Alaikum, I agree with you more than 100% what you said regarding the Introduction of a particular sect to non-muslims as well as the need for us Muslims to unite in this age of chaos. But, I would like to suggest that, please re-read the posts and find out who tried to reconciliate...

Peace, Here is a very interesting excerpt from a book I am reading and just felt like sharing with folks here. "During the 1670s, he (Newton) began a serious theological study of the doctrine of the Trinity and came to the conclusion that it had been foisted on the Church by Athanasius (1)...

I wonder why Shaikh Albani did not mention "Ahmadiyah" in the list of sects which he "considers" to be the out of the fold of Islam. He mentions Shi'tes, Kharijites and Alawis only. As for the Kharjites, we are still yet to identify in which forms and levels are they present among Muslims. There...

Brother Thipps Assalamu Alaikum, I would recommend that Please let Non-Muslims read and understand the Quran on their own. Let them experience and accept the truth and then make a choice of their own whether which line of Islam they want to follow. By proposing them to read any sectarian...

There is no prohibition of making any kind of images in Islam. for instance, Painting, drawing etc for educational purposes is allowed. Also, Recording video or taking snaps from a camera in itself is perfectly alright as far as it does not induce any sinful activity. i.e; obscene images...

Yes thats true. I think instead of citing the example of Rajiv Gandhi and his Hindi sentence we should refer to the Old testament which uses the plural of respect quite often. Elohim literally means "gods" but it used in the Old testament several times as a plural of respect. Therefore looking...

Shalom Alaykum/Assalamu Alaikum Thank you for your wishes regarding eid day. :) It is really good to know that the new moon of ramadan coincided with that of rosh hashanah. I hope it will help people of the two faiths to come closer. As I know, Islam and Judaism are the two different faiths...

We might be suggesting the same point but perhaps our approach was different. How will I explain it? God created Satan with a free will but he was not a human (like Adam). With his free will, he could go either way, good or bad as he may chose. You called Satan "angel of darkness" but I put...

That was I about to say before reading your message. In such a case, it is always the context that matters.its not that the act IN ITSELF is wrong. and if it is done as an instrument to excite the behaviour of an individual which leeds to the forbidden act, it is not permissible. Otherwise...

Al-Mai'da 5:45 "We ordained therein for them: "Life for life, eye for eye, nose or nose, ear for ear, tooth for tooth, and wounds equal for equal." But if any one remits the retaliation by way of charity, it is an act of atonement for himself. And if any fail to judge by (the light of) what...

[/font] Ezekiel 18:20 The soul who sins is the one who will die. The son will not share the guilt of the father, nor will the father share the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous man will be credited to him, and the wickedness of the wicked will be charged against him...

I think that we have to analyse collectively the very notions of "human nature" and "free will" alongwith other related terms. Our instincts and behavioural tendencies constitute the "nature of a man'.Same is the case with free will. If we accept the meanings of both these words as we understand...

Hi and salam to you! Did you ask what is the punishment of a killing in Islamic Law either delibrate of accidential? If yes, the punishement in the Islamic Law is based entirely on justice. If a person murders someone delibrately, the verdict is a death sentence if found guilty. But in case...

Hello dayaa, Thanks for welcoming me :) The relation between me and Jibran Khalil Jibran is only of name. My dad chose this name because he was inspired by Jibran Khalil Jibran. It really nice to know that you love his books. I'm also one of Khalil's fan. Just love his writings. I vaguely...

Hi Saltmeister Yes, your reply helped me in my understanding of under discussed Christian view yet your asnwer raises some important questions in the mind. Firstly, we have to define human nature, instincts and free will. You wrote that instincts include love, kindness, generosity...
