    Violence in Islam?

    First of all, putting "Captives" in parenthesis is ONE HELL OF AN ASSUMPTION. What translation are you using? I don't trust anything in parenthesis. It's someone trying to push their bias on the unsuspecting reader. Most of is Quranist Muslims take "Whom your right hand possesses" to mean long...

    Violence in Islam?

    I'm not defending Muslims. Some of them do despicable things. In the past and as we speak. But the scripture (Quran) does not allow it. The same can't be said for the Old Testament.

    Any Book Guide Your Spirituality?

    Quran. Forget everything you know about Muslims and what you think is "Islam" and just read Quran. If you have read the old and new testament, it will make even more sense. But it is clearly the word of God. But less than 1% of Muslims have read Quran in a language they understand so what % of...

    Muslims only: Does Islam support creation or evolution?

    I agree with most of what you're saying. Logic prevails. But where are you getting this number that Adam lived 6000 years ago? How do you know?

    Muslims only: Does Islam support creation or evolution?

    I'm not saying you're wrong but what evidence do you have that humans were around long before Prophet Adam?

    Jesus is under subjection to God.

    So confusing! So complicated!

    Muslims - Is all seafood halal?

    This thread is so funny. Instead of worrying what this scholar said and what that madhab says, why not just listen to what Allah (our creator, the reason we exist!) said... [2:173] He has ONLY forbidden for you what is already dead, the blood, the meat of pig, and what was dedicated to other...

    Discussion: Creation of Eve from Adam's Rib

    Rational Mind, I'm trying to keep an open mind on evolution vs creation. I must say, what you said... That Shaitan could not be in paradise at that time does make a lot of sense. Another verse in Quran has really made me rethink evolution... [21:30] Did those who reject not see that the...

    Muslims Only: Is apostasy a capital crime in Islam?

    Hazrat , You're making too much sense. You will get attacked and be accused of being a kaffir here for making too much sense. But you speak the truth brother. If the apostate wants to kill you, by all means, fight him. Defend yourself, defend your family, defend your home. But if he simply...

    Muslims Only: Is apostasy a capital crime in Islam?

    I guess we differ on who is twisting the meaning. The word scholar or priest or clergy is not even mentioned in Quran, except when God is talking about the mistakes of past people and how people set them up as partners to God. You mentioned 4:59, implying that those in authority amongst you are...

    Muslims Only: Is apostasy a capital crime in Islam?

    Gharib, None of your quotes from Quran are talking about scholars and what they do today. I will respond in detail Insha Allah when I have more time. Peace!

    Muslims only: Does Islam support creation or evolution?

    I've been thinking about this and I see no reason why Quran does NOT support evolution. Quran supports the big bang theory. Quran supports gravity.Quran supports that all life came from water. Quran supports planets orbiting on a prescribed rotation (21:30-34). So why not Adam and Eve and...

    Discussion: Creation of Eve from Adam's Rib

    On what basis do you believe that Prophets were infallible? Prophet Muhammad was reprimanded by Allah 6 times in Quran. He was a great man and as blessing to mankind but INFALLIBLE? Sounds like the human tendency to deify other humans. Show me your basis for infallibility of Prophets?

    Muslims Only: Is apostasy a capital crime in Islam?

    Scholars are not authorized to create religious laws. And those that follow them are not paying attention to Gods words... [9:31] They have taken their Priests and Monks to be patrons besides God, and the Messiah the son of Mary, while they were only commanded to serve One god, there is no...

    The big bang and the creation of the universe.

    Many ignorant Muslims that have never read or really tried to understand Quran, don't realize that Quran supports the big bang theory. Something can not be born out of nothing. I believe that God, the creator, is the master designer. He set the wheels in motion and the universe developed from...

    2 Questions on Salat

    Hadith may not convince me. But I'd still like to hear what Hadith are out there. I'd still want to know why the Muslim world does these things. I've heard some Sunni imams say that saying Salaam at the end is not obligatory. In Quran it says end prayer with "Alhamdulillahi Rab il Alameen"...

    2 Questions on Salat

    2 things I have been struggling with about Salat. I was taught since childhood to do these things during Salat but now I'm having trouble understanding the reasoning. Please advise.... 1) Why do Muslims send blessings on the Prophet during Salat? (Durood) I don't have a problem with...

    Muslims: discussion about homosexuality

    I have done counseling and life coaching for years with all kinds of people. I can tell you that there is a story behind every homosexual. They weren't born that way. Either they are seeking revenge on one of their parents, who did not treat them good, or they were sexually molested as children...

    Killing innocent people is a crime in Islam.

    Are you implying that gnostic is stupid? Haha. Sorry. Couldn't resist. In all seriousness though, you can only punish the criminal. Not his kids, family, random people at a marathon, etc. The extremists (don't call them Islamists) do not understand or do not WANT to understand Quran.

    How old was A'isha when she married Prophet Muhammad? New Evidence.

    Try not to be a philosopher? How about try not to promote child molestation. The verses below talks about orphans but they clearly show that one must attain sound judgment and grow up before they are of marriageable age. Do you really believe that a 9 year old child who hasn't even reached...
