as salam alykom
we can simply tolerate both of u THE_ICONOCLAST and lightuponlight. But this is the last time I will allow expressions like Allah ... as lightuponlight repeated it several times.
And THE_ICONOCLAST it seems that u like this example of tenessee. Do u receive training somewhere, or u have a standarad replies for certain arguments.
Ok do u pray? I asked u this question before?? I mean do u believe that u have to pray, How do u pray? Do u believe u must go for Haj??? BTW the only reason I am replying is not to win an argument, but rather to shed light on a current movement called Quran-yeen to which u might belong for other members to benefit.
How did u learn to pray and rituals of Haj?
Indeed u twist the Ayahs?
Can u understand this one:
O Prophet! When believing women come <b>to you to give you the Bai'a (pledge), </b>that they will not associate anything in worship with Allah, that they will not steal, that they will not commit illegal sexual intercourse, that they will not kill their children, that they will not utter slander, intentionally forging falsehood (i.e. by making illegal children belonging to their husbands), and that they will not disobey you in any Ma'ruf (Islamic Monotheism and all that which Islam ordains) then accept their Bai'a (pledge), and ask Allah to forgive them, Verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." (Quran 60:12)
"Indeed, <b>Allah was pleased with the believers when they gave their Bai'a (pledge</b>) to you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) under the tree, He knew what was in their hearts, and He sent down As-Sakinah (calmness and tranquillity) upon them, and He rewarded them with a near victory" (Quran 48:18)
Or u r waiting for your mentor to tell u how to reply?
Brother Qutuz, dont worry Allah SWT Shall certainly grant his Messenger's Sunnah victory.
