as salam alykom
Wael, jazakum Allah khairan for the post about Al Sameri, I never knew that people had this point against the Quran. May Allah Reward much those who made the research. Sobhan Allah, surely scholars do compliment each other in their work.
curious, u didnt copy and paste, of course u did. I mean the points regarding the creation of mankinds...etc. I think I already read only on this board more than 4 times, leave alone on other places and of course I know the source.
But I dont take this against u. U read points in anti Islamic sites. u feel that u want to know how Muslims live with it. I understand.
U almost didnt accept all the replies Wael broughtforth, but u didnt even comment on the Surah of Abu Lahab. U will not find on the Internet any reply to it. Because this man could have actually destroyed the call in its inception, by just going out after the revelation of this Surah and declare his Islam. But he didnt because the Quran is true.
Let me take a different approach and tell u how Quran predicted our future as Muslims.
The Ayah saying:
"You shall certainly be tried and tested in your wealth and properties and in your personal selves, and you shall certainly hear much that will grieve you from those who received the Scripture before you (Jews and Christians) and from those who ascribe partners to Allah
" (Quran 3:186).
With all due respect to the translator, but I d rather say for the underlined part, you shall certainly hear harmful or what will cause harm and grieve.
If some of the non Muslim visitors on this site or any other Islamic site didnt come on and start criticise Islamic teachings harshly, slander Allah on TV channels, or those Nasarah (note that I dont use the term Charistian because it was never mentioned in Quran, Allah Never ever once called them Christians but rather Nasara) priests who devoted much of their time to slander the Messenger salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam - which certainly fall under the description harm and what will cause harm and grieve. If they dont adopt this approach, the Quran will not be true.
On a totally different approach, Allah in Quran Say:
"40:79
"Allah, it is He Who has made cattle
for you, that you may ride on some of them and of some you eat."
"And Who has created all the pairs and has appointed for you ships and cattle on
which you ride,"
(Quran 43:12).
Curious, just take an in depth look at the above mentioned two verses and see how Allah Confirms that we will ride on animals.
At our current time, when people ride space ships, cars, aeroplanes including super sonic..etc, there are still people in some countries, like mine, Pakistan, Kenya...etc. do still ride cattle. I mean not only for pleasure which might be the case in places like the US, but to move from one place to another.
In any case, either for pleasure or not, which is even a more strong evident, that in places like the US people do still ride horses which are categorised as cattle of course. If they did cease to do so and only used automative means of transportation, still in other countries this verse is standing clear and shall be so till the day after. Mankind will continue using cattle as means of trasportation or will continue to ride them because Allah Say so. Allah Could have skipped the ride part, Knowing the techonoligical revolution that will occur. But Allah Did confirm that mankind will ride cattle and we do Curious even in the most develped countries.
Hope u got the point.
