How do we stive though?
And how do you reconcile the verse you quoted with the verse:
And those who strive for Us - We will surely guide them to Our ways.1 And indeed, Allāh is with the doers of good
It says, we are to strive for God but, will result for your own good.
I don't want to say that again.
Kindly, Don't make things up.
But quote verses of the Quran that is about it, and show what Quran answers, not yourself.
That is right. But, the OP is about the Quran. Is Quran a guide for everyone? It is not, as the verses of Quran says.
Yet, God, does not only guide through the Quran:
وَٱلَّذِينَ جَـٰهَدُوا۟ فِينَا لَنَهْدِيَنَّهُمْ سُبُلَنَا ۚ وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَمَعَ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ٦٩
And those who strive...
The Guides are pre-existent.
The 12th Imam was in the city of Jabulqa.
Once the guidence from Ummah of Islam was gone, and end of Ummah came, People needed the new Guide to establish the true Religion again.
A Day or 1000 years was appointed for the Dispensation of Quran. Thus, that period...
عن جابر عن أبي عبد الله في قول الله تعالى وَاللَّيْلِ إِذا يَغْشى
قال دولة إبليس إلى يوم القيامة وهو يوم قيام القائم
وَالنَّهارِ إِذا تَجَلَّى وهو القائم إذا قام
عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) في قوله الله عز وجل: * (فإذا نقر في الناقور) * قال: إن منا إماما مظفرا مستترا، فإذا أراد الله عز ذكره...
ابن سعدان عن عبد اللّه بن القاسم عن المفضل بن عمر قال سألت أبا عبد اللّه (عليه السلام) عن تفسير جابر فقال لا تحدث به السفل فيذيعونه أ ما تقرأ كتاب اللّه تعالى فإذا نقر في النّاقور إن منا إماما مستترا فإذا أراد اللّه إظهار أمره نكت في قلبه نكتة فظهر فقام بأمر اللّه تعالى

عن الكافي * * * [(فإذا نقر في الناقور)] (المدثر - 8). نداء جبرئيل باسم المهدي عليه السلام ثلاث مرات [1906 - (الامام الباقر عليه السلام) " الناقور هو النداء من السماء: ألا إن وليكم فلان (بن فلان) القائم بالحق ينادي به جبرئيل في ثلاث ساعات من ذلك

Regarding the verse "Then when the...
أول من يرجع الامام الحسين عليه السلام [1913 - (الامام الصادق عليه السلام) " نعم، فقيل له: من أول من يخرج ؟ قال الحسين عليه السلام، يخرج على أثر القائم عليه السلام قلت: ومعه الناس كلهم ؟ قال: لا بل كما ذكر الله تعالى في كتابه * (يوم ينفخ في الصورفتأتون أفواجا) * قوم بعد قوم

See, as you already know, I don't believe Jesus was not killed, or Abraham did not die in the fire. They were human beings with respect to their body.
By not getting killed, is meant, their Cause did not die, but was exalted. The word of God which was light, did not diminish.
So, they threw...
Even though i said this Hadith many times before, i quote it again for you, hopefully you notice:
Bihar al-Anwar, volume 53, page 25 and 26 ):
قال الصادق علیه السلام : أحسنت يامفضل فمن اين قلت برجعتنا؟ ومقصرة شيعتنا تقول : معنى الرجعة أن يرد الله إلينا ملك الدنيا وأن يجعله للمهدي. ويحهم متى...
Yes, saw various translations. Some of them translate as like this:
:So go to him and say: 'The two of us have indeed been sent by your Lord. So let the children of Israel come with us, and do not oppress them. We have come to you with a token from your Lord. Peace on him who follows the way...
How do you know Lut was sent to them at that time?
Lut could've been among them, but, His mission as Messenger had not started yet.
Remember, the process is, Allah makes Him a Prophet before making Him a Messenger. So, at the time, He could have been a Prophet, and not a Messenger yet. How can...
I don't mean to defend Islam.
But, the verse saysz if they go to war with the Messenger.
The Messenger passed away long ago. So this verse is not applicable anymore.
But, I do agree with you, that, many extremists Muslims, today, still use this verse to rule their own people, and kill, or...
The Quran and Bible contain so much symbols and allusions.
It is meant to cause people who don't use their brain, get mislead by them, and go to the bottomless pit. Apparently God needs to burn them, and make fire with them. Then with the fire, He tests people like you and I.
I hope that make...
A bunch of superstitious.
Dude, what are you talking about?
If there was such a thing, God could have removed it Himself. No need to send someone.
God sends someone to make people like you, free from superstitious, and guide them to the Right path, which is truth and science, and knowledge...
