    Is the Muslim Jesus cited in the Qur'an possibly historical?

    It's a revelation (direct speech of God, literally every Surah is God telling Muhammad things, as God told Moses things), so historical and ahistorical are both irrelevant and incorrect frames of viewing it. The Qur'an is always a book about the present day, not the past nor the future, but the...

    Quran 36 v 38

    He was correct, from the vantage point of being positioned on earth, the sunset itself as it appears to us is an optical illusion. If we were anywhere else than on earth, it would look as it functions. What we see on earth during the sunset is not actually what is taking place physically with...

    Ascetic vs Libertine

    My practice is definitely very libertine, but I do have intense periods of asceticism. (will write more later....)

    Beginnings

    Mythological is the wrong word, as it implies that they are only fictive metaphors. You have the gist though. Adam is metaphysically all of humanity, to which God "breathed" in us the Spirit (Nafesh/Nuach/Nuh/Purusha). Everything that happens in the 'World of Adam' corresponds to the material...

    Was the Apostle Paul a Good Man?

    Yes this is correct

    Was the Apostle Paul a Good Man?

    Paul is a complex person. Was he an authoritative source? no, not in the way he is made out to be by "Christianity" later on. It makes no sense that if Jesus saved everyone from their sins by dying (yada yada) that people should be following Paul, it's illogical. Even given the status of the...

    Quran 36 v 38

    Well you're quoting Sahih Bukhari which is of no credibility to me personally. But I don't disagree with the contents of the Hadith quoted, and Abu Dharr is reliable and respected (whether or not the chain of transmission is itself is another matter.....) Yes I do, providing you understand the...

    Quran 36 v 38

    Imam in the Shia context is a divinely guided figure from the progeny of Prophet Muhammad, family, they are the most authoritative sources after Muhammad himself: Imamate The word Imam has varying meanings depending on what we're talking about. In this case we're not talking about someone that...

    Quran 36 v 38

    And the throne is a symbol, a metaphor. The Throne is omnipresent, as many verses and Hadith state. Your interpretation is very flawed and quite puzzling. Muhammad ibn Isma‘il has narrated from Fadl ibn Shadhan from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Rabi‘i ibn ‘Abdallah from Fudayl ibn Yasar who has said...

    Quran 36 v 38

    It's of course offtopic but with us it's the same thing with the word arbitrarily or erroneously translated as "religion". There are several verses in the Qur'an that state "your Deen is Submission". Deen itself has a very specific connotation and Submission is a spiritual action, it is not...

    Quran 36 v 38

    For your comprehension, it's worth noting that the whole passage from ayat (verse) 33 up to 68 is one section/segment. The biggest emphasis of that section is very obviously eschatology and the passages you cite emphasize two particular aspects; 1. The obvious message (exemplified by verse 40)...

    When a monument gets to a point it's worth killing and dying for.

    Nihilism at work, lol. Get some popcorn for that show

    Quran 36 v 38

    I've never understood why speakers corner is even a meme, why it's popular. Aside from that, I've never found a single thing associated with it that was worth time watching, period. On any subject (yes people debate non-religious stuff there too).
