Question for Muslims

[joshua72]

this is the way of the muslims...i see you are starting to get the lingo down...heheh

you are saying as salaamu alaikum

great..... it means peace be unto you

now how about letting us teach you some more of this...

here is another one

Jazaakallah khair...

it means may allah reward you with goodness...

you say this instead of saying thank you...

the prophet says..\"من شكر الناس شكر الله\" whoever thanks man thanks allah..

so there is nothing wrong with saying thank you...

but  also : the best thing that you can do for a muslim is to say Jazaakallah khair...

as you can see it can even increase the brotherly love that we share...

so josh  

i must say

jazaakallah khair for starting this thread...

lol Yes, I am slowly picking up little by little.

jazaakallah khair to all that have helped!

Everyone of you have been so helpful, each in a different way.

Without my muslim friends, I would not be where I am now

<b>Jazaakallah khair!</b>

[Ahlam]

salam alaikum, I have nothing but the very most respect and appreciation for all that have been helping me learn about Islam. I am really glad I have found so many friends here that are willing to help me find the way. Before I knew much of Islam, I have asked God many times before to please help me get to the right path - and I believe that my interest in Islam is God's way of guiding me to the right path. Had I never bought the Quran and read it every night, I would never had these questions and the desire to learn more. I really feel that God has willed me to be among the righteous, and he has presented me with the Quran and so many friends to help me get there. Ever since I began reading the Quran and thinking about God every second of my day, I have noticed alot of positive changes happening. I am forever thankful to God for showing me the way, and I am also very thankful of all the Muslim friends helping me along. Thank you all VERY much!!

Salam Josh,

I cannot describe my feelings of joy when I read these words. May Allah guide you to His everlasting light and grant you the peace of mind you are looking for!! (ameen)

I would like just to clarify something concerning our Prophet Mohammed peace be upon him. Allah tells us to obey Him and to obey our Messenger because Prophet Mohammed is a Prophet and Messenger and all his deeds and sayings are ordered/approved by Allah. He represents Islam. Actually, he was a Qur'an walking on earth. All his deeds are perfect. He is Mercy sent to us by the Merciful! He is a modal to us Muslims to follow, that's why we admire and love him .. he is our beloved and dear!

You know what? The Muslim believers' dream is to see him and accompany him in Pradise! May Allah grant us that wish! (ameen)

If you read about him you could do nothing but admire him! Then you will love him and feel towards him as we do feel.

Dear Muslimah jazaki Allah khayran for your efforts and also the efforts of everybody in the forum. By the way I liked very much that quote which is written by brother Dan, really what he wrote is wonderful!

Ok may Allah allow me to present this point in the most accurate manner so as to help Joshua and those who are looking for the truth ameen. May Allah also overlook any erros ameen.

Let me try and shed light on an important point here, the problem about Jesus usually stems from the part in which Allah Is Addressing Mariam through the Angle Gabriel Saying and We Sent to her our soul who manifested in the form of a human being. The word our soul here usually raises controversy.

I know, let me by the Will of Allah try to help here being a native Arabic speaker.

The soul in Arabic is Ruh which is the item (will not say part since we don’t exactly know what it is) responsible about life. In other words, when it is taken one immediately dies. It is the item that is contracted when the angle of death assumes his role towards someone.

So being the source of life, Allah Uses the term soul in many ways. For example Allah called Quran in one Ayah the soul, just take note of this, being a reason to make us alive after being dead. R u getting it, following the Quran revived the people after been dead due to non believing.

Using the word Ruh does not in any way represent Allah’s soul .

On another sense the same word Ruh (soul) means the core or essence of something. Ruh ashye-e means core of something.. So when Allah Sends Ruh (soul) succeeding it in Arabic with a suffix that means ours, it simply means from us we send the core of something, or we send what makes u alive. Big difference.

I can see u saying o why Allah if He is One is using we…. Insh a Allah I will get to this later.

“He sends down the angels <b>with inspiration </b> of His Command to whom of His slaves He pleases (saying): "Warn mankind that La ilaha illa Ana (none has the right to be worshipped but I), so fear Me (by abstaining from sins and evil deeds).” (16:2).

If u read this Ayah in Arabic, it says <b>yonazel ul malaeka beruh min amreh</b>… In this position, Allah Clearly explains an important usage of the word Ruh, it is the revelation, the inspiration the Quran which is the essence, the source of life and core of interest.

“Which the trustworthy <b>Ruh [Jibrael (Gabriel)]</b> has brought down;” (26:193).

Another usage is Allah Calling Angle Gabriel in many positions the Ruh. In no way Allah Means that Gabriel is Allah’s soul but rather he is the Ruh of angles, the important one among them, since he is responsible of bringing revelation to the Messengers. Again a revelation related task, therefore must be called Ruh. <b>Not in any sense is a part of Allah</b>.

“(He is Allah) Owner of High Ranks and Degrees, the Owner of the Throne. He sends the <b>Inspiration </b> by His Command to any of His slaves He wills, that he (the person who receives inspiration) may warn (men) of the Day of Mutual Meeting (i.e. The Day of Resurrection).” (40:15)

Again here Allah calling the revelation the Ruh.

Let me get to the we point I raised earlier. U may ask why Allah is speaking in the plural form here, they keep telling me He is One, does not consist of parts?

In Arabic when we address an older or respectable person, just like in French, we use the plural from. To this effect Allah Is stressing the fact about His Superior position, His Mighty, His Graciousness not that He is more than one. No just One but not any one. Allah the All Mighty, the All Powerful.

Insh aAllah I have more on this, just preferred to bring them bit by bit for everyone to digest before we move on.

Bism Allah  Ahlam may we all be in the company of our beloved Messenger Mohamed, u know what Insh aAllah Josh will be with us..... :smilingfl

So sorry I have not been posting!

As some of you know, my home computer went down, and after about a week of not being able to use it, I finaly located the problem - which was the modem.

Now my computer at home is working, but without a modem I no longer have internet access at home, so now I can only post every now and then while I am at work

I have some catching up to do around here - alot of posts I didnt get to read - but I will be back with questions

I'll try to post as often as I can, but because I only can come here while at work, I can only post when I get a chance, and no longer over the weekend:(

Jazaakallah khair

Insh aAllah we will continue on the same theme. Take your time and read the old posts. Things need to be taken easy in all cases.

Insh aAllah we will post more on the explanation of Ruh...
