In that there are Christians who perceive current world events as fulfilment of Biblical prophecy, and that some of those people hold the reigns of power, will that belief be used in defence of the cause of world peace or not?

I have noticed that if someone posts a positive question that it seems like people go out of their way to say something nasty. Not everyone but a good percentage. I was interested why? If someone says something nice to you - do you think you don't deserve it? Why not just accept it and move on?-peace.

What about the religious orders dedicated to the sick, the dying, the poor? What about the charities that feed the hungry, clothe the naked and care for those ill and dying? I have seen many religious groups taking care of these people and showing love. Can anyone deny the good they do? Are there any non religious charities or groups that you know of?

We seem to have many, many kids [usually about 7-10 years old] who lurk around in the pool and splash others, like the little kids, repetitively and meanly. Some pretend to be splashing while swimming, but as soon as they are away from the toddlers, they can swim just fine without splashing. They do it mostly to Moms helping little kids who can't swim. Any ideas to control the behavior happily, without offending these children or their parents?

We're all told of people being "desparate" to get on the property ladder. But does it really matter? Is the quality of your life really affected if you rent property all your life? Am I missing something?

I know this question had been asked before but none of the answers are very convincing or accurate. I don't want your opinions or what you think jihad is. Therefore when you answer, please provides the quotes from the Quran, the exact passage, ayat, verse, etc.

Should we not start by spreading peace in our own homes and families? If we cannot learn to live with each other in our homes peacefully then I do not feel there is a hope of peace. We cannot do much to teach this generation but we can change the outlook of the next! We are the teachers of our children. Let's teach them peace, love, tolerance and yes Faith!
Peace Be With You,
Debra

first i have to say that quran was revealed to prophet mohammad who couldn`t read or write 1400 years a go in arabia. the spritual and moral content and the devine beauties of the quran is so attractive that most people become muslims because of
the strong love between themselves and the one god(god of ibrahim, jesus,moses and others who is one god and has no partners or son or daughter),
but some people are after proofs , they cant have faith easily, they are after signs
if you are like them,I want to share with you just some of the many many miracles of the quran.

WORD REPETITION IN THE QURAN

keep in mind mind that quran is also the most beautiful text in arabic literarily and it
was impossible to just add or delete words in order to get these balances.

The word "land" appears 13 times in the Qur'an and the word "sea" 32 times, giving a total of 45 references. If we divide that number by that of the number of references to the land we arrive at the figure 28.888888888889%. The number of total references to land and sea, 45, divided by the number of references to the sea in the Qur'an, 32, is 71.111111111111%. Extraordinarily, these figures represent the exact proportions of land and sea on the Earth today

The statement of "seven heavens" is repeated seven times. "The creation of the heavens (khalq as-samawat)" is also repeated seven times.

"Day (yawm)" is repeated 365 times in singular form, while its plural and dual forms "days (ayyam and yawmayn)" together are repeated 30 times. The number of repetitions of the word "month" (shahar) is 12.

The number of repetitions of the words "plant" and "tree" is the same: 26

The word "payment or reward" is repeated 117 times, while the expression "forgiveness" (mughfirah), which is one of the basic morals of the Qur'an, is repeated exactly twice that amount, 234 times.

When we count the word "Say," we find it appears 332 times. We arrive at the same figure when we count the phrase "they said."

The number of times the words, "world" (dunya) and "hereafter" (akhira) are repeated is also the same: 115

The word "satan" (shaitan) is used in the Qur'an 88 times, as is the word "angels" (malaika).

The number of times the words "man" and "woman" are repeated in the Qur'an, 23, is at the same time that of the chromosomes from the egg and sperm in the formation of the human embryo. The total number of human chromosomes is 46; 23 each from the mother and father.

The word "salawat" appear five times in the Qur'an, and Allah has commanded man to perform the prayer (salat) five times a day

*****look at the complete list of word repetitions in the link for mathematical miracles below***

IF you want more miracles

2- Embryology in the Quran link:
http://inthenameofgod.brinkster.net/DailyPrayerEngHTML/EmbryologyInTheQuranEng.htm

3-Holy Quran and The Lowest Part of the Earth
http://inthenameofgod.brinkster.net/HTML%20DailyPrayers/The%20Holy%20Quran%20mentions%20the%20lowest%20part%20of%20the%20earth%20and%20states%20that%20it%20is%20near%20Jerusalem.htm

4-or in the qoran it is said that the universe is ever expanding which has been proven in recent years

5- it said there is cure in eating bee`s honey and it has been proven by doctors that honey has this effect

6-it said that sun and moon are rotating and it has been proven that they are rotating around their axeses

7-it is also mentioned that the earth is egg-shaped, not spherical, a fact which was recently discovered;

8-it also mentioned that the further the light travels in the universe, the weaker it gets, a fact now discovered by the theory of "tired light";

9-it also metions in detail the pulsar stars (al najm al tariq

and many more ....

http://www.harunyahya.com/miracles_of_the_quran_01.php

dont forget that qoran says that christianity and judiasm was from
god too but prophet mohammad was the last prophet for mankind ,who had the
the same message that jesus and moses and abraham and other propohets had.
and that is to worship one god without partners.

*to non-muslims: what do you say about the miracles( they are too many to be coincidenses )?
* to muslims : why do they ignore the clear facts and proofs?

here is a link to some famous scientists point of view a bout the miracles in the quran.
