Prayer’s performed by a Monotheist, Submitter, or Muslim, are formed of units called (Rak’a – plural is Rak’at). A prayer starts with the believer standing in front of his lord, and begins by recitation of the opening chapter of the Quran. ‘Chapter’ is often referred to as ‘Surah’ in Arabic. This opening Surah is called the (‘Fatiha’) or (‘The Opening’ in English, some have also called it ‘The Key’). In Gods unchanged word of the Quran, the (‘Fatiha’) is as follows:

1:1 In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful.

1:2 Praise to God, Lord of the worlds.

1:3 The Almighty, the Merciful.

1:4 Sovereign of the Day of Judgment.

1:5 You alone we serve, and You alone we seek for help.

1:6 Guide us to the straight path.

1:7 The path of those You have blessed, not of those who have incurred the wrath, nor the misguided.

Alsalaamu alaykoum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh.

Well, my last post ended rather abruptly as I had to tend to a crying eleven-month-old who was waking up from her afternoon nap.

I guess that there is not much to add in the way of concluding my last post, I was almost finished anyhow, I was just being long winded. What I was saying was that I feel drawn to God, ultimately, that I do not necessarily feel I have a choice. If I have not been a "good muslim" for these past two years, then I cannot simply turn away from Allah (SWT), and "try something else". It has become clear that this is not really possible. I just have to "be" whatever kind of Muslim I am for the moment, and WORK, and PRAY, and STRIVE to improve myself, INSHALLAH. I cannot go back to what I was before, and at any rate, even in spite of the spiritual and emotional difficulties I am facing now, the prospect of returning to my old ways is far from a pleasant one.

Alsalaamu alaykoum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh,

Allahumma hdinaa wa hdi binaaa

Well, I am unsure about how to begin writing this, unsure about whom it is that I am writing it for, and so on and so forth. I will simply begin then:

Gems of Wisdom from the Holy Quran

[55:19] He separates the two seas where they meet.

[55:20] A barrier is placed between them, to prevent them from transgressing.

[55:21] Which of your Lord's marvels can you deny?

[55:22] Out of both of them you get pearls and coral.

as per my thinking the this so called arabic Quran language is outdated as the language is not universal every scholar has own meaning, if realy this so called book Quran was made universal then by default it language should have been made universal which never happend.

now Q araises

1) Is GOD is so fond of this so called arabic Language ?

Hi, This is my first entry on this blog. Currently I am an economic college student. But it doesnot mean I know much about economy. My real speciality is programming. I understand how to create program using MASM32. Why I chose MASM32 where every programmers avoid using it? Yes it is assembly language is complicated and it is difficult, but the result is very efficient. For example lest compare a basic "Hello World" program created by Visual Basic and MASM32, where VB yield a 1 MB application, MASM is only 4 kb.
You can create a tiny application using Java too, but java is not natively for IA-32 Intel Processor. Java is run using virtual machine. Yes Java is cool, because when you code it on one OS you could run it on another OS, but as a virtual application, it was slow.

The one of the book of the world "Qran" is only one which gives the right way of human beings. I am the student of "Quran" learning last 15 years
thanks

Yes, I agree that Joseph in the bible is imhotep. all of the information fits. But most scholars and chronologies are usually 1500 years off. with Moses they are usually about 1000 years off in their calculations. because they have other theories about who was King then. And of course they are wrong.

Hi everyone!

I'm Persian ex Muslim, I born to Shia Muslim parents in Tehran, Iran & considered myself Shia till sometime back.

Later, troubled by all that was happening in Iran, I tried to still salvage my faith, convinced that the atrocities weren't "true Islam" & became simply Muslim, rejecting the Shia part of my identity.

A trip to Saudi convinced me that Sunni Islam, or Islam had more problems, so I tried becoming some other sort of Muslim, desperate to retain my faith(faith is the hardest thing to abandon, & the easiest to bolster with foolish claims.)

I ame across anti hadith sites, became a hadith rejector.

However, I migrated to USA by then, I met an Afghan taxi driver, who was an ex Muslim, he tried to explain to me in his broken English that Allah doesn't exist, & how bad Islam was. My parents, moderate Muslims were very offended.

I told him all problems were due to hadiths, so he should focus on the Quran.

You shall certainly travel from stage to stage (in this life and in the hereafter)

“Latarkabunna tabaqan an tabaq”

will anyone hel me to understand what sihr means and what was taught by harut and marut?

Islam is nothing but sayings and actions of our beloved Prophet Hazrat Muhammed Mustafa Sallallahu Alahiwassallam. The Holy Quran was revealed to him and we got Holy Quran through him. The only interpretation of Holy Quran acceptable to any Muslim is the Interpretation made by the Prophet (Sm). His entire life is the interpretation of the Holy Quran. For example, he taught and showed us how tp perform salat. The message of Holy Quran was best understood by Sahaba e Rasulullah (sm) who was taught directly by Rasulullah (sm). Its a pity that some people have started to interpret the Holy Quran with very limited knowledge;they have started coming up with innovative ideas about which the ummah have long standing agreement (Ijma).These all ideas are based on Nafsaniat.These attempts of making innovations are quite similar to practices of Bani Israliites who distorted their holy scriptures.

Like all other God’s books(scriptures), the Gospel(Evangil) revealed to Jesus by God underwent tampering with by the humans. The original Gospel was lost and possibly destroyed and the present Gospels of Saint Mathew, Mark, Luke and John are only the corrupted form of the original Gospel. The present Gospels contain many blasphemous doctrines attributed to Jesus that were interpolated by the hypocrites and traitors to the faith. These Gospels and the epistles appended in the New Testament give an untrue picture of Jesus and are used as tool to propagate the false doctrines for nearly 2000 years now and thereby lead billions of humans to everlasting hell-fire.

To sum up, the following are the false doctrines about Jesus which were fabricated by the hypocrites and the traitors to the faith, by the operation of Satan :

1. Jesus is God-Incarnate
2. Jesus is son of God
3. Jesus is son of man
4. Trinity
5. Jesus was crucified
6. Jesus died on the Cross

God, as he promised to mankind in the beginning, sent down his guidance by revealing books to his prophets. God chose his prophets from among men who lived in different ages and in different parts of the world to reveal his books as guidance for mankind to lead a righteous, moral and religious life on earth to attain victory both in the present life and in the eternal life to come ie the hereafter. These books(scriptures) are kept in the Parent Book in heaven wherein all things are recorded and none is left out.

God’s prophets including Gautama Buddha prophesied the coming of a messenger of God just before the End of World who will preach the true religions and who will defeat the evil forces in wars with God’s help and rule the entire world as a viceroy of God on earth.

In Judaism, this messenger is called Messiah. In Christianity, he is called Messiah, Son of Man, Comforter(Paraclete). In Zoroastrianism, he is known as Soashyant and Asvatreta. In Budhism, he is called Maitreya. In Islam, he is known as Mahdi, the messenger of covenant and the messenger reciting the holy scriptures.

All such names in existing God’s religions as Messiah, Son of Man, Comforter, Soashyant, Asvatreta, Maitreya, Mahdi, Messenger of Covenant, Messenger reciting the holy scriptures refer to One and the Same Person who will be sent in the End Times before the end of world and the start of Resurrection.

Religions from God

God Almighty, revealed the religion to the entire mankind through his prophets who lived in different ages, in different parts of the world and in different societies, right from the period of creation of the first man Adam who is the first prophet until Muhammad who is the last prophet.

Accumulation and hoarding of wealth as mentioned in the following verses of Quran is the severest crime in Islam.

[3:180] let not those who withhold and hoard GOD's provisions think that this is good for them; it is bad for them. For they will carry their hoarding around their necks on the Day of Resurrection. GOD is the ultimate inheritor of the heavens and the earth. GOD is fully cognizant of everything you do.

[4:37] The ones who are stingy, exhort the people to be stingy, and conceal what GOD has bestowed upon them from His bounties. We have prepared for the disbelievers a shameful retribution.

[9:34]. Those who hoard the gold and silver, and do not spend them in the cause of GOD, promise them a painful retribution.

[9:35] The day will come when their gold and silver will be heated in the fire of Hell, then used to burn their foreheads, their sides, and their backs: "This is what you hoarded for yourselves, so taste what you have hoarded."

Can a husband divorce his wife unilaterally?

The question is which kind of Riba is prohibited?

The word Riba in Arabic literally means increase, gain or profit on money loaned.

No where in Quran Riba is prohibited.

The word used in Quran is Al-Riba (2:275). This is a proper noun pointing out to something not just riba. The question is which form of riba is then partcularized as Al-riba.

If Quran is to be read with reference to the context then we must find out as to what are the circumstance under which increase, gain or profit on money loaned is prohibited?

To find out the context of Al-Riba Let us examine a couple of verses before and after the occurance of world Al-Riba in verse 2:275.

Reading verse 2:272 to 2:280 we find that the issue discussed in these verses is, helping the poor deserving charity.

what precisely is written in Quran.
Quran presents
A living and Lasting God (2:256)
The Lord of all creation (1:2)
He Gracious, the Merciful (1:3)
The Almighty (29:43)
All-hearing, all-knowing (5:77)
The Wise (34:2)
The Forgiving (34:3)
The Bountiful (27:41)
The Loving (11:91)
The Creator, the Maker (59:25)
The high, the Great (2:256)
The Holy (10:69)
The Lord of all praise, Owner of all glory (31:13)
The One, the Supreme (39:5)
Who is free from all wants (64:7)?
Begets none and is begotten by no one, and
has none as His equal (112:4-5)
Who guides men 10:36, 33:5)?
Hear prayers (2:187)
Speaks to such of them as fulfil His covenant (3:77& 42:52)
Punishes the transgressors (48:18)
Reward those who do good (6:84)
Love those who do good (2:196)
He has created all men from the same stock (4:2)
He has divided them into different groups so that they may know one another, and that
the best among them is he who best perform his duty (49:14)

The people debate the hadith relating to Umm Waraqah. None of them understand the parable! If only they could open this pomegranate, then their thirst would be quenched for a moment. But their debates never break the skin.

Believers, read the narration and then wear my garment to the masjid:

The noble Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), along with his Companions, would go to visit Umm Waraqah (ra) at her home on the day of Friday. When the noble Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) announced his decision to go to war at Badr, Umm Waraqah (ra) humbly requested, “Grant me permission to go to war with you. I will look after the sick and wounded. Maybe Allah (most high) will honour me with martyrdom.” The noble Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) replied, “Stay at your home. Certainly Allah (most high) will grant you martyrdom.” For this reason she became known as Shahidah (female martyr) from then on.

Much recent debate has been dedicated to the role of men and women in Islam. Debate within the mosques – and outside.

Often the debate becomes most heated when the following verse of the Quran is encountered.

(4:34) Men are the maintainers (qawwam) of women because Allah has made some of them excel the others and because they spend of their wealth. Hence the good women are obedient (qanitat), guarding the unseen which Allah has guarded. And those of them that you fear might rebel (nushuz), admonish them, and abandon them in their beds and beat (adriboo) them. Should they obey you, do not seek a way of harming them, for Allah is Sublime and Great!

Was Jesus mentally ill?
I wonder about this and want to figure it
out through study of the Quran and the
the 4 Gospels as well as other texts about
Jesus the Messiah. If anyone wishes to
comment on this question, feel free...
