Muslimah, your above comment is not helpful as it did not address what I queried you about nor is it a refutation of LUL and my position. Locking threads, likewise, is not helpful.
Answer my questions and I certainly answer yours, insha-Allah.
Anyway...
Some Muslims go backpacking in the remote Ozark mountains of Tenneesee and upon leaving one of them discovers that he left his Qur'an [in english] at the camp site. Well, one of the residents of the area who lives there happens upon the Qur'an and begins to read it.
Based on the above scenario, please answer the following questions, but before you do, think about what Allah is saying in the following ayats:
18.54 And<i><b> certainly We have explained in this Quran every kind of example</b></i>, and man is most of all given to contention.
29.51 Is it <i><b>not sufficient/enough </b></i>for them that We have revealed to you the Book which is recited to them? Most surely there is mercy in this and a reminder for a people who believe.
Do you believe and accept the above two ayats, yes or no?
Please answer the following with a simple yes or no, thanks.
a. will that person know who Allah is and what He has commanded him/her and mankind to do?
b. Will that person know how to take shahada?
c. will that person know how to practice righteousness/justice?
d. will that person know how to call upon/pray to Allah?
e. will that person, upon reading Al-Qur'an and following its contents, be admitted to Paradise?
Looking forward to your reply. And, please, no conjectures, just facts.
