Even if I have done some things like lieing and cheating?

I had watched a show on the travel channel. They showed a college where there was a room that no one would sleep in. On the door to the room, no matter how much they sanded or stained it , a demonlike face would always appear in the woodwork. Anyone know the name of this college?

Is it a function of respect for their deity or is it because they believe they're entering sacred ground? Or is it something else? How did this custom start?

this is called tomorrow. i do agree i need to write some happy poems. but this is reality to me,because i really do not know what tomorrow brings or what it even is.

Tomorrow.

Is tomorrow coming,is it
already here,should i just
stop asking and pretend i don't
care.

Tomorrow,will it be like
today,sunny and bright or
will it be gray.

Tomorrow, isn't it like every
other day,get up go to school
or work sometimes don't even pray.

Tomorrow, who knows what is brings,
not me,not you but the man that holds
all things.

I'm from Romania. These days (January 13,14) we have an assembly at Sala Polivalenta in Bucharest. It's a two days assembly. When is going to be your next assembly? And if it was how was it? Me, I liked very much this first day. I can't wait for tomorrow though it was a little cold (here it's winter).

How many white people live in the US?
How many African Americans live in the US?
How many Latinos live in the US?
How many Asians live in the US?

I want to know, because people say that __% of the population of ____ race are born out of wedlock, imprisoned, etc. Percent shouldn't matter as much as how many people total.

For example, let's pretend that there are 100 people of a certain race in the USA, and 50 percent are born out of wedlock. Let's also pretend that there are 200 people of a different race, and the same percentage of that race is born out of wedlock. Can someone please give me the answers.

I'm curious...what do you think about American?

2007-01-13 03:59:56 · 14 answers · asked by Mrs.Lovett 3 in Languages

first i have to say that quran was revealed to prophet mohammad who couldn`t read or write 1400 years a go in arabia.
this( the below article) is one of the many many miracles of quran( there are lots of scientific mircles too like embryology and the fact it mentioned that the earth is egg-shaped, not spherical, a fact which was recently discovered; and ,..lots more...............
.....) what do you say????
***of course the spritual and moral, universal, logical, and awe-inspiring facts in quran are more important, but these are some signs for us.

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 word faith (iman) (without genitive) is repeated 25 times throughout the Qur'an as is also the word infidelity (kufr).

The words "paradise" and "hell" are each repeated 77 times.

The word "zakah" is repeated in the Qur'an 32 times and the number of repetitions of the word "blessing" (barakah) is also 32.

The expression "the righteous" (al-abraar) is used 6 times but "the wicked" (al-fujjaar) is used half as much, i.e., 3 times.

The number of times the words "Summer-hot" and "winter-cold" are repeated is the same: 5.

The words "wine" (khamr) and "intoxication" (saqara) are repeated in the Qur'an the same number of times: 6

The number of appearances of the words "mind" and "light" is the same: 49.

The words "tongue" and "sermon" are both repeated 25 times.

The words "benefit" and "corrupt" both appear 50 times.

"Reward" (ajr) and "action" (fail) are both repeated 107 times.

"Love" (al-mahabbah) and "obedience" (al-ta'ah) also appear the same number of times: 83

The words "refuge" (maseer) and "for ever" (abadan) appear the same number of times in the Qur'an: 28.

The words "disaster" (al-musibah) and "thanks" (al-shukr) appear the same number of times in the Qur'an: 75.

"Sun" (shams) and "light" (nur) both appear 33 times in the Qur'an.

In counting the word "light" only the simple forms of the word were included.
The number of appearances of "right guidance" (al-huda) and "mercy" (al-rahma) is the same: 79

The words "trouble" and "peace" are both repeated 13 times in the Qur'an.

The words "man" and "woman" are also employed equally: 23 times.

Will they not ponder the Qur’an? If it had been from other than Allah, they would have found many inconsistencies in it.
(Qur’an, 4:82)

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.

"Treachery" (khiyanah) is repeated 16 times, while the number of repetitions of the word "foul" (khabith) is 16.

"Human being" is used 65 times: the sum of the number of references to the stages of man's creation is the same: i.e.

Human being 65

Soil (turab) 17

Drop of Sperm (nutfah) 12

Embryo ('alaq) 6

A half formed lump of flesh (mudghah) 3

Bone ('idham) 15

Flesh (lahm) 12

TOTAL 65

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

I am Romanian, and in our country, we always take off our shoes when we enter a home.
But I've seen a lot of American movies where none of the characters did that when they arrive at someone's place. Is that the general rule in America? And do you find the unshod lifestyle to be weird?

Your search among books, word upon word, may lead you to the depths of knowledge, but it is not the way to receive the reflection of your true self.

When you have thrown off your ideas as to mind and body, the original truth will fully appear. Zen is simply the expression of truth; therefore longing and striving are not the true attitudes of Zen.

The Arabic language is probably the most expressive among mankind, but it lends itself to exagerration, hyperbole and misunderstanding. Do Arabs mean what they say, or is a lot of their rhetoric meant to blow off steam?
