tintingz:If for any reason you are still observing tenets of Islam {at least, daily salat, annual Ramadan and zakat}, note that Allah doesn't need it at this point. Knowing Allah preceded because Allah says "know Me before you worship Me" . Just giving you heads up so that you don't think you are doing Allah favors by observing these rituals. And also to let you know so that you don't keep wasting your time observing them. |

ShaheedBinAliyu: ^Imam an-Nawawi's Explanation on Hadith of the slave-girl ":This is one of the "hadiths of attributes" and there are two positions about it as it was mentioned in the book of faith, First: is to have faith in it "Without discussing its meaning, while believing of Allah Most High that "there is nothing whatsoever like unto Him"and that He is exalted above having any of the attributes of His creatures. ''The second is to FIGURATIVELY EXPLAIN IT" in a fitting way, scholars who hold this position adduce that the point of the hadith was to ''test the slave girl : Was she a monotheist"who affirmed that the Creator, the Disposer, the Doer, is Allah alone and that He is the one called upon when a person making supplication (du'a) faces the sky--just as those performing the prayer (salat) face the Kaaba, since the sky is the qibla of those who supplicate, as the Kaaba is the qibla of those who perform the prayer. or was she a worshipper of the idols which they placed in front of themselves? So when she said, In the sky, it was plain that she was not an idol worshipper (Sahih Muslim bi Sharh al-Nawawi, Volume No.5, Page Nos. 19-20, Published by Dar ul Fikr, Beirut, Lebanon) |

tintingz: # Sorry, am only interested in the underlined. # FIRST MEANING * If Islam says "shaitan lives in dirt", it does not necessarily mean physical dirty things. For sure, shaitan could be " living" in what is physically clean but spiritually unclean as well. Qur'an talks about Mushriqun (polytheists) and their polytheism to be "impure". Is it physical since we have babalawo and his shrines of 20th century physically clean?! * The concept of "dirtiness" that shaitan dwell in is "spiritual impurity" - anything that deviate from the path of God. SECOND MEANING * Sometimes the sentence of "shaitan living in dirty things" does not really mean "shaitan" - the unseen created, living entity that disobeyed God, that used to whisper evil suggestions. Rather it refer to "unseen entities that have tendencies of harming our wellbeing e.g deadly microbes", hence, you seen some ahadith with the following themes:"don't eat with your left hand because shaitan eats with left or that's the dwelling of shaitan", " cleanliness is part of faith, shaitan dwells in unclean things" etc. For example, microbial load in the toilet, or left fingers is higher than other place and right hands respectively because of dirtiness associated with them. |

Re: Is Allah Everywhere, Sees Everything? by tintingz(m): 10:38am On Oct 07, 2017 |
AlBaqir:Why only the underline? Or there are no explanations on those? # FIRST MEANINGActually, I don't see the difference in what Islam practice and the polytheist, the difference is, Islam is fashionized, upgraded. So, Is Allah also in shrines, idols, since he's everywhere, in everything? Like many Islamic scholars said, toilet is where shaitan, jinns lives, so we are to seek protection from Allah before entering the toilet. Your statement here is not clear, it is either you accept Allah is in toilet, shrines or not. I once asked a christian lady, is God present where couples are having sex, she got confused and can't give any answers because it will sound like God is watching porň, I think this is what many religious people are scared to reason on, question and don't bother knowing if God the omnipresent is present where couples are playing, all what they say is God is everywhere. Sorry, I don't get the whole explanation here, you tried to smuggle shaitan from living in dirt and at some point you said shaitan lives in dirt. Are you now trying to defend shaitan here to proof your point Allah is everywhere? I think the believe that Allah is everywhere is also making him limited, dependent. |

Albaqir, I've gone through the thread-link you provided, it really open more argument to this thread. # Allah sit on a throne above the sky # Allah has human-like figures # Allah is in every single thing, everywhere # Allah moves around the heavens and earth, like he's dependent, limited to time, space and his creation. With this, it makes Allah limited, I think the deist/deism concept about their God not intervening and left them makes more sense although I still see such God limited to the time and space. This took me back to the statement of these three great philosophers, 1. Had God designed the world, it would not be A world so frail and faulty as we see. - Lucretius 2. "Is the pious loved by the gods because it is pious, or is it pious because it is loved by the gods?" - Socrates (Euthyphro dilemma). 3. "Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is impotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?" - Epicurus ^^^ All these are argument of God(s) intervention. |

A group of 3 people are having snacks while a professor passes by. After greetings, professor said to them that he heard that they got Youtube award of the yr. Affirmatively, they gestured. Professor asked how they were able to accomplished the task?. They replied, "it is God". God?, which God?. asked the professor. They said, "our God `in Heaven".. Professor asked "can you see your God, can you touch your God?" They replied, "no". Professor said, " then, there is no God because science has proven there is no God bcus anything you can not see or touch does not exist. The 3 folks were dumbfounded to see a professor said such thing. So one of the 3 folks asked the professor, "sir, how did you know there is no God?". Professor replied, "common sense, I used my sense" The boy replied (the professor), "where is your sense?". Professor said "my sense is up here (pointing to his head) The boy asked, can you see your sense? Professor: No Boy: Can you touch your sense? Professor: No Boy: That means there is no sense.

Aside that the response of "Touching, seeing" is kinda lame the sense can the studied which is from the brain, scientists are still studying how the brain works, they are progressively getting there. Now to reply their irrational response, can gravity be touched? Can it be seen? NO is the answer, does that mean there is no gravity? I guess they need a physicists to measure gravity for them if they were not taught law of gravity in school. Now the question goes back, can a god be measured or studied? Where is the evidence of intervention? And if he's intervening is he the cause of natural disasters? |
Re: Is Allah Everywhere, Sees Everything? by tintingz(m): 6:51am On Oct 08, 2017 |

It is the more reason why I chose to ignore you as you are starting to become more boring and less intelligent as you've started to ask unintelligent question.

Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?" - Epicurus If God is everywhere, in everything, omnipresence then he's within the universe and if he's within the universe, he's subjected to law of physics and time which makes him limited, what has Allah being omnipresence change anything?

Re: Is Allah Everywhere, Sees Everything? by tintingz(m): 11:28am On Oct 08, 2017 |
Rilwayne001:The topic of this thread is about "Omnipresent, Omniscient" of an entity, I'm attacking these two attributes about god(s) nature. So not surprise this is what religious people say when they can't hold an argument, they quickly attack and label the questioner question "unintelligent question" and even go as far as insulting the questioner, this is not new. Who's been egoistic? I'm very sure my "unintelligent question" is helping others. Debate is about attacking the topic at hand or premises given(pro and cons), it is either you accept the debate or not, whatever you take high esteem shouldn't be a problem since it is the "focused topic", god is a public figure, if religious people can go about attacking irreligious people(even with threats) then why do you find it offensive when irreligious people attack your belief? What happens to freedom of speech? I've so far not insulted your what you hold "high esteem" i only attack/question what's said to be attributed to him, if anyone find it offensive, my apologies. |

tintingz: # So, " something" must be "matter or spirit" before it can be said to be "something"; otherwise in your view, it is " nothingness "?! What a sense! Empiree posted an illustration, you thought it's funny. You believe "sense" exist. Where's it? Is it a matter or spirit? You irrationally claim "sense" is "inside" the brain and your scientists are still working on it perhaps to "extract" it. That's very laughable. Can you touch it or see it? What about "love, pain etc"? Same set of question for it. You even made mention of "gravity". All these things cannot be seen, feel or touch yet we believe they exist as a result of their RESULTS, MANIFESTATIONS etc. # God who is the creator of those entities that is still given your scientists headache for years is far beyond His creations. # Anything that can be RATIONALISED, EXPERIMENTALISED, COMPREHEND etc becomes LIMITED. If today, " love, pain, gravity, sense etc" can finally be seen, touched, felt etc" then they become 100% limited # We, the believers in God, claimed Him to be unlimited because our 5 types of senses and Aql (intellectual power) are limited entities to rationalise Him. But we believe He exists, and everything exists by the manifestation of His attributes. Scientists admitted they are yet to know "the origin of life".

AlBaqir:Lol, the last time I checked, Rilwayne001 asked if "something can come from nothing" so with this you are saying something can come from nothing? If you agree then you are given the atheist more score. If an entity doesn't contain anything, is it "something or nothing"? What should we call an entity that sit on a throne above the sky or that moves around the universe or that has emotions, what should will the entity, something or nothing? Empiree posted an illustration, you thought it's funny. You believe "sense" exist. Where's it? Is it a matter or spirit? You irrationally claim "sense" is "inside" the brain and your scientists are still working on it perhaps to "extract" it.The sense can studied can a mental unstable person knows he/she have sense? Does such person display sense? Does a mental unstable person feel love or show love or does a stoic syndrome person feels pain? These things can be studied, it all limited to the brain and science are still studying how the brain fully works. Take the brain out of a person and tell me the state of the person. # God who is the creator of those entities that is still given your scientists headache for years is far beyond His creations.Unfortunately the creator is not showing any intervention, there is no evidence of a creator intervening, the more reason Jainism/jain don't believe in a creator, deist/deism don't believe the creator interven, it is not given scientists any headache instead they are the ones given creator believers headache by discovering new things day by day progressively. # Anything that can be RATIONALISED, EXPERIMENTALISED, COMPREHEND etc becomes LIMITED. If today, " love, pain, gravity, sense etc" can finally be seen, touched, felt etc" then they become 100% limitedThen Why should we care about an irrationalized entity? Do you care about a talking flying spaghetti? Can you rationalize a spaghetti talking and flying? If No, then why can't we call the flying and talking spaghetti a God? # We, the believers in God, claimed Him to be unlimited because our 5 types of senses and Aql (intellectual power) are limited entities to rationalise Him. But we believe He exists, and everything exists by the manifestation of His attributes. Scientists admitted they are yet to know "the origin of life".

May Allah grant you guidance.Lol, how all these you mentioned in the thread are linked to your God(Allah) is what I'm yet to understand, do you just claim it is linked to your God or you read it in a book or Allah told you all these personally and gave his DNA of his fingerprints? do you have evidence it is linked to your God? Does natural disasters, diseases, viruses, pain also linked to your God?

tintingz: # Be sincere to yourself for once and stop further confusing yourself on what is not it. The challenge we put before you (based on your thinking) is that, " the fact that you cannot feel, touch, rationalised to full capacity, or experimentalised something that by its effects, results and manifestations you believe it exist e.g love, pain, gravity, sense etc; does that mean God does not exist or not present since you can equally not comprehend Him with your limited 5 senses + intellect?" # For a fact, everything originate from something. And all something to something to something finally are God's creation. # So, where does God originated from if "everything comes from something"? This is one question atheist do ask. And our reply is " if assuming God originate from God, then the next will originate from God, then it will go on and on till infinity that you can no longer comprehend. Even, in physics, mathematics etc you absolutely have this theory of infinity to prove "existence" of something. That is how limited human comprehension is, and this is where spirituality comes into light. # On a materialistic world/scale, to doubt the existence or manifestation (in all thing) of a higher power, a perfect designer, is absolutely foolishness, arrogance and fanaticism. tintingz: # "Sitting, establishing on a throne" is a figurative expression. It only signifies authority. Please don't bring idea and interpretation of a foolish creed (literalist) about God here, to stubbornly support your view. Figurative expression is used in every rich language. A Yoruba barren woman will tell you, "mo nwo oju Olohun ni o - am still looking unto God's eyes". Does that meant she's really looking INTO God's eyes? You and I know its a figurative expression which simply means, " she's expecting the blessings and favour of God". # God is not "something that moves from one place to the other". If He does, then He is limited with time and space. Again, that is silly interpretation of the literalist. 5 Likes |

All these simply mean " stinginess and generous" respectively. # Another verse reads Surah Al-Fath, Verse 10: "Surely those who swear allegiance to you do but swear allegiance to Allah; the hand of Allah is above their hands. Therefore whoever breaks (his faith), he breaks it only to the injury of his own soul, and whoever fulfills what he has covenanted with Allah, He will grant him a mighty reward". # I think tintingz simply want to oppose by whatever means available for him to oppose.

AlBaqir:Again, pain, love, gravity can be measured and study, they are limited to our universe, I've given you example of a mental unstable person. As for God, you said it is not a spirit nor contain any matter, in quantum physics this is "nothingness", but below here I can see you calling God "something", are you not contradicting yourself? # For a fact, everything originate from something. And all something to something to something finally are God's creation.claiming everything originate from something when we have not even finish concluded if your God is "something or nothing"?. Applying Occam's Razor. The question will still keep popping up, where did God originate from if everything originate from something. The infinite regression is still a strong debate. Because our reasoning is limited for now doesn't invalidate the arguments of infinite regression, we don't know if there is an entity outside our reasoning(universe), the more reason I'm agnostic about it, but what religious people are good at is filling the gaps with god(god of gaps). Religion= 0000000___God___0000000= Sticked Science= 000000__Go*____000000= Diminishing. # On a materialistic world/scale, to doubt the existence or manifestation (in all thing) of a higher power, a perfect designer, is absolutely foolishness, arrogance and fanaticism.A perfect designer that design natural disasters? Oh yeah it is perfect. The Quran talked about Allah having hands, legs, his throne is on a water sitting on it, displaying emotions bla bla bla... Oh yeah that's all figurative. My reasoning seems not to get what throne, sitting, water metaphorically mean, Why not tell us what the throne and water stands for? |
