Thanks for your comment.
So can we call a piece of ice, steam? Once that change of state occurs, we can say that it has now become steam. Why can't this be the same for the universe?
Hey @Audie, I hope you're well.
For you, the source of our existence might be belittled to a character in a book, but for those that do actually believe in such a reality, find it way more than that. Can you empathize with that position?
Hello, and I hope you're well. I honestly thought you were a Christian for some reason lol.
Well, there's no point in talking about what God said or did if you don't believe in one, to begin with.
Care to state your current position so at least I know who I'm chatting with :)
@Aupmanyav
Hello, and I hope you’re well.
Where does this Maya come from?
And concerning the fitrah, there is evidence for it, as the neurologist and evolutionary biologists can attest to. Even psychologists have done studies about the belief in the supernatural in children.
The fact that...
Hey, @Policy Congratulations! I hope you find it to be a great haven and may you build wonderful memories in the years to come :D
When you say, the universe was a singularity or when I say came from a singularity what’s the difference? Both statements show that the universe had a starting...

Hello, and I hope you’re well.
“Are you starting to see what I mean by the MIND / BRAIN tension?”
Honestly, not really. My educated guess would be that the subliminal message/repetition within the text subconsciously makes the reader start to formulate a concept of “others” within...
@stevecanuck
Hello, I hope you’re well and had a great weekend.
“Ayah 9:111“
For starters, is there anything in this verse that talks about forgiveness? If you see my comment, I was specifically talking about forgiveness and this ayah doesn’t answer that explicitly as you have failed to...
@TransmutingSoul
Hey Tony, I hope you’re well.
Thank you for your exegesis of surah 2:2-5. Since those categories are the true path to submission to Allah as you claimed, then what has compelled you to go against these verses and believe in something after Muhammad, when there is no mention...
@TransmutingSoul
Thank you for sharing the reference.
Here's a question for you Tony. If Sayyed Ali Muhammad Shirazi aka Bab wasn't of Ismaili origin, do you think this would have happened? Because he and even Bahaullah heavily depend on ambiguities in the Quran. While Allah makes it clear...
I'm reading them under the linguistic microscope. Through morphology, semantics, and syntax. This is how I read it. If you aren't interested in doing the exegesis of the ayahs, then there's no point in boring you with mine.
@Muffled
Hello, and I hope you're well and thank you for your comment.
“I believe I have no contentions. Islam is what God intended it to be: an alternative to Judaism but it does not provide salvation as Christianity does.”
Yes, we believe that God is so loving and merciful to the extent...
You'll never find an explicit verse in the bible that points to polytheism. Try and test your own claim.
And when did I tell you that I'll never change my mind?
@danieldemol
Hello, and I hope you're well.
“Where in the Quran does it say that a Muslim may feed a needy person or make up the days at a later period due to inability to distinguish those periods.”
2:183 and 184 give the conditions of one not being able to fast on particular days, they...
@joelr
Hello, and I hope you're well.
Can you please show me in the bible where Paul sees Jesus more than once?
And I don’t think they were epileptic seizures. This is what the orientalists say.
The reason I believe Muhammad is due to many reasons, and we can go through them all. My first...
@stevecanuck
Hello, and I hope you're well.
“Do you really think they deserved that fate?”
I don’t know. I wasn’t there nor could I state my opinion. From face value, it seems like they did break the treaty and there were others that were just guilty by association. They asked for someone...
@TransmutingSoul
Hey Tony, I hope you’re well.
Are you aware that Arabic grammar came from the Quran? If so, then how can it contain incorrect grammar? There have been some incidences where the listener would wonder about certain words that seemed foreign to them. Like Al Rahmaan for example...
Hey @Audie , I hope you're well.
“That is NOT what "a call" means.”
Yes, it does; an invitation to such a practice. It's there in the text.
And the bible is way more monotheistic. What are you talking about? Only Paul and maybe John start to butcher it. But as a whole, the dominant message is...
@Policy
Hello, and I hope you're well.
The dominant theory out there is that the universe came from a singularity. Do you hold this position?
And yes of course you don’t believe in a soul. But does that make it true? I could believe in Islam, but that doesn’t make it true. So why don’t you...
