Adultery – In Biblical And Islamic Terms

[umm Zachariah]

Hi Ronniv,


Glad you can join us.


First of all let me say that I am impressed with your knowledge


<i>''Does the Quran only speak of future events? No.</i>


Does the Quran not document some historical items? Yes, it does.''


Especially the first one, since I think you agree that it is ONLY Allah, SWT that is capable of fortelling the future for us. And so He has in the Qur'an, just as you point out.


But on the discussed issue you, like R-C, take another point than discussed.


So I repeat it, no problem


''BUT you say ''God of course knows the future.'' (comment from R-C) And that was MY point to, but you answered that since events had not yet taken place it could not have been written down beforehand. But of course they could, IF it is revelation from Allah, SWT.''


THIS is what I focused on, since it is a questioning about that PEOPLE cannot write down in beforehand future events, it can only be done by revelation, and that is the way that Allah, SWT tells us about them. AND this is generally speaking, not in connection with something specific. It is ABOUT BELIEF. To BELIEVE in that Allah, SWT is the one that reveals things for us in beforehand, BEFORE it has happend. Just like future events that He revealed for us in the Qur'an. And it only takes a bit of an open mind when reading it, to figure out how it all hang together.


So this question may be a good one <i>''The point of scripture is NOT to predict every single event that will occur in every single community of believers.</i>


You don't expect the Quran to do this, so why do you expect it from the Bible?'' But that is not the issue here.


Hope this by now has cleared up, or I might have some difficulty to make myself understood today
