"WE" HERE IS USED AS PRONOUN OF RESPECT.

Is there any thing as above? Site examples?

IN YORUBA, ELDERS OR SOMEONE WORTHY OF RESPECT IS REFERRED TO IN PLURAL TERMS.

FOR EXAMPLE,
IF I'M ASKING MY MATE OR JUNIOR IF HE HAS EATEN I'LL SAY :She o ti jeun?

IF I'M ASKING MY FATHER (whom I should respect by all means) I'LL SAY:
She e ti jeun?

NOTE: BOTH ARE SINGULAR, BUT THE PRONOUNS ARE DIFFERENT.
THE LETTER "o" IS PRONOUN FOR A SINGLE PERSON WHILE THE PRONOUN "e" REFERS TO MANY.

HOPE THIS ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION?

Human claim about religion is funny.

1. They were born innocently with nothing in their brain (Muslim claim baby were born Muslim unless if parents change their mind - this is a fallcy)

2. They imitate parents religions

3. They were indoctrinated by the parents, ustath, community, scholars etc

4. They become aware of themselves as they grow up and they started investigating the religion in a biase way (even though they're not aware of their prejudice). They judge other religion based on the religion they were brought up with.

5. Most of them conclude that the religion of their parents is the accepted religion to God.

6. Few change their religion for various reasons

7. Very few abandoned religion all together.

8. We'll die and no guarantee of what will happen after death. But each religion design their own version of after life.

Isn't it funny grin

Thank you for your kind response.

Can you kindly point at a scientific point of the Qur'an that is inconsistent with reality?

Let's engage.
too many. Let start from the description of the heavenly bodies. Early Muslims believed the earth is flat and the sky is solid body. They got this interpretation from the Qur'an. Today we know this is a fallacy. Do you need quran verses? Or you know where it's stated in the Qur'an?

One problem I identified with Muslims is that you guys always think you have the absolute truth. Things are more complicated guys. Lower your pride and be objective and open minded.

I don't care if you are Muslim or Christian or atheist. What I care about is dangerous things in those religions should be discarded.

Example, jihad (religious war) should be abolished

Permissibility of beating wives should be abolished (some will say the beating should be with tooth brush - it's not true)

Permissibility of minor marriage should be abolished

Killing apostate and blasphemous should be abolished

Forcing religion on your children should be abolished. Let then decide.

Preventing your female children from marrying from other faiths should be abolished

Forcing hijab on your child girl should be abolished. Let them decide

And lots more


With all this knowledge u seem to think you have acquired,still there is still more you don't know.

Can u tell me why animals are created?
There purpose on earth?

Does it ever occur to you that they ought have they same privilege u are enjoying as a HUMAN?

Do you know what was protecting when u are nothing but a cling?

So many things u can never fathom with Ur knowledge because it so way out of your medulla

I don't know you personally, but I doubt you are devoted as I was in my days as a Muslim.

It may interest you that I completed five pillars of Islam including zajat and hajj. I prayed for guidance in my hajj and beg Allah to never allow me to doubt his religion (because the doubt had started before my hajj but I was still avoiding the doubt struggling with my brain).

What did Allah do?

If by your assumption that Allah lead me astray, why did he do such. Is he evil? Despite my prayers in haram.

I attended several umrah. I never had sex before marriage. I married a wife improved her deen from half hijab to full. She later put on the niqab.

You think I was just a common Muslim?

I never claim to know all. Infact, I always admit my ignorance anytime I realised my flaw. I can't leave Islam if I felt I knew everything.

Back to your question. I know where you are heading to and my answer is simple.

We are ignorant of many things in this life.

Scientist don't even know all animals in the ocean yet.

We don't know how to stop earthquake from happening (we can minimise the hazard though),

We don't have established factual scientific explanation for human consciousness.

We don't know what happened before big bang.

We don't know why big bang happened.

We don't know why several extinction occur in the past,

we don't know with certainty how free will works.

And lots more.

However, I don't agree with the god of the gap. The fact that we don't understand something in the universe doesn't mean that I should submit to a particular religion. Perhaps, we may have the explanation for such stuff in the future.

In the past, earthquake is attributed to the wrath of God, today as a geologist we know that God don't influence earthquake. It is natural, it is predictable.

In the past, Muhammad was afraid and rush to mosque when he saw eclipse. Today, scientist have explanation for eclipse and can predict when it will happen.

Thus, worshiping God of the gap is fallacious to the best of my understanding

Yes I need the Qur'an verse(s). You should have deemed that necessary.

By the way, I am a geologist, and the Qur'an dealt with the subject matter of geology with pinpoint accuracy touching many of its numerous branches several centuries before the acclaimed father of modern geology

Simple answer is, the Bible has many inconsistencies and those Alfas possess Bible to point out the similarities in the message of Jesus and prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) while also bringing out the inconsistent parts of the Bible.
And there is no where the bible claim it is a revelation from God but the Qur'an affirms itself to be from God.
Trinity,resurrection,his death are all myth preached by Christian clerics but Jesus's revealed mesaage the gospel (which is called the injil) is of God not the bible.

I read few accounts and Books and it's Good to know that many Muslims agreed to the fact that a large percentage of Muslims believe and read the Holy Bible as instructed by Mohammed himself.
Another question came up, and i will be glad if it is answered,
Who wrote the Al-Quran ?
Can anyone enlighten me on through what processes and channels the Quran was revealed to Muhammed(how it was written down,passed down after his death and compiled as a whole book,(putting into consideration that details of account before and after his birth is included in the Quran)

newguy1:
let me first reply u based on logic u used little fraction to judge the entire Muslim world that all Alfa have d bible. Secondly acknowledgeable Muslim will never discredit d bible because we where thought bible was given to prophet issa who came before prophet Muhammad, what they wanted to say was that the Bible has been altered which is actually true forget about the excuse given as Old Testament n New Testament.lastly Islam teaches that seeking knowledge is one of the major responsibilities of a Muslim. My advice to u bro is pls don’t argue religion like I have seen some people doing here it only show the level of ignorance out there.
point of correction,i didn't say all Alfas,check your facts.
BIBLE is not the account of Jesu christ only,it comprises his Gospel,people before and after him.

Let me correct your statistics before responding.

I don't know the actual stastistics of Alfas who own a Bible, but let me assure you that they don't search it for guidance of to know about their Creator. It's mostly used for comparative purposes.

100% of Muslims believe the Bible is adulterated. The proof is in the contradictions and in consistencies in the Bible. Further proof is being uncovered by scholars like Bart Ehrman, Dr Gerald Dirks(May Allah have mercy on his soul) an co. They hav gone trough thousands of biblical manusripts. The bible you carry around today have been edited and re edited multiple times over the centuries. It is still being revised till this very day. No one knows the author of the bible as each book( eg the Gospel 'according' to Mathew) was copied fron dozens of manuscripts written decades apart.

We do not say the Qur'an was 'written by God' as you put it up there. We believe it was sent by God, in piecemeal, to our Noble Prophet(Peace be upon him) through the Holy Spirit(Angel Gabriel). It was revealed over a period of 23 years.

100% of Muslims do not believe in the trinity. Belief in the trinity takes you out of the religion of Islam Q 4: 141 ... Do not speak of a trinity.... God is ONE, with no equals or partners and nothing bares any form of resemblance to HIM.

We don't believe he was crucified for the sins of humanity. Only a sinister god would lynch and kill an innocent person for the sins of others. Can't he simply forgive.

We believe Jesus(peace be upon him) is coming back destroy the antichrist and set the records straight. He is NOT God, he didn't come to die for anybody's sins. He simply came to preach the Gospel to the children of Israel, to tell them to worship one God and none other.

We 100% believe in the Gospel Jesus came to preach, even though we've never seen the original Gospel of Jesus, nor the original Torah of Moses. The messages has been corrupted by the Europeans to suit their theological desires.

Hope this answers your questions. Peace be upon you
I love the fact that you confirmed that the Quran said JESUS CHRIST is coming back to get rid of the Antichrist,can you please tell how you feel Christ died and got to heaven??
*Do Quran talked about the Disappearance of saint,the 1000 years reign of Christ and yoking of The beast and the Great Tribulation?
*Do Quran talkes of the mark of the Beast?
* what process did you read from the the Quran through which he earned the task of getting rid of the Antichrist?
*What will be the fate of Muslims during these times?
* Where will Mohammed(SAW) be during this time of Antichrist and harvesting of the saints?

Muslims reading this should kindly contribute and lets Learn .

OK. Few hours I will bring the verses.

I'm also a geologist by the way with bachelor and masters degrees. Discussing the geology related verses of the Qur'an between us will be interesting. I will probably open a thread for it
