    Are you afraid of Anti-theists?

    What you're talking about is something else from what I was.

    Are you afraid of Anti-theists?

    No, in fact I'm amused by them.

    BE NOT AFRAID...

    The thread title: "OMG, what do I have to be afraid of, this is scary" :D

    Proof of Islam?

    Son is only a title, it's not literal. Jesus is a creation of the Word and contains in him the Holy Spirit. He was a special figure and we don't deny that. There is a lot to unpack though if you are genuine to want to understand the Islamic view. The Bible is not seen in the way you see it, I...

    Proof of Islam?

    Salaam, as a Muslim I disagree with you here. You can ask in Jesus' name, just as with other Prophets and with the Ahlulbayt. All of these figures have concealed intercessory roles. Jesus in NT texts speaks both openly and concealed, understanding what he is actually saying takes work. On...

    Muhammad

    Yes it's pretty crazy, quite a large number of countries are like that.

    Muhammad

    He didn't, she was around 17. She was engaged to Jubayr ibn Mut'im years and years before she ever meet Prophet Muhammad (A.S.). Her engagement with Jubayr was eventually called off. Muhammad was also not very interested in Aisha on a personal and definitely not a romantic or sexual level. Abu...

    Blasphemy Complaint Against Pakistani Politician Khawaja Asif For Saying 'All Religions Are Equal'

    From an exegetical POV, as a Muslim I'd like to know why exactly, because nothing is as superficial as that.

    Genesis 5:24

    No, just correcting that person on their misquote and hinting the implications of figures like Enoch and Elijah who are fundamentally not different to Jesus in that regard.

    Genesis 5:24

    In the Islamic context, I would say that despite that all the Prophets were manifestations of the Divine (the light, the word and the spirit), the role of Enoch, Elijah and Jesus are the three most mysterious of them all, because they are all are said to have been taken to heaven (sparing...

    Genesis 5:24

    You mean: "And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven" ;)

    Why Were They Called Christians?

    Isaiah 62:4 tells what 62:2 is referring to: "You shall no more be termed Forsaken, and your land shall no more be termed Desolate; but you shall be called My delight is in her, and your land Married; for the Lord delights in you, and your land shall be married."

    Why Were They Called Christians?

    It originated as a slur, it was derogatory and in all of the minimal amount of times it was mentioned in the New Testament. The followers of Jesus were originally self-identified as Nazarenes (hence "Jesus of Nazareth" - Nazareth being the name of a community, not a town), they also sometimes...

    Universe Vs Multiverse!

    When I said symbolic I did not mean poetic, I mean analogous. Some ideas, especially in even hard-science itself can only be expressed through symbols and analogies. You're speaking from category error, which is like saying that Greek is meaningless to an English speaker. Again though, not my...

    Universe Vs Multiverse!

    Yeah it's not a high budget video but it is a beautiful Hadith speaking symbolic about the ontology of the universe, the observable universe being a tiny speck in the "rings within rings within rings" of the cosmos. I'm trying to gather exactly what his emphasis is (as english doesn't appear to...

    Is god material?

    Basically in simplest language, by that he means that be believes those anthropomorphic references are remnants of the idolatrous Israelites (the same one Moshe chastises in Parsha Devarim). In part what he refers to is part of the general view of distortion of scripture, take it as ye will. In...

    Is god material?

    From the bit you quoted in his original post, I gather he's referring to certain anthropomorphic depiction of HaShem in the story of Ya'aqob (Jacob) during the end of Sefer Beresit. Most Jews of course would obviously reject taking it literally.
