like this verse, "we made ever living thing from water. Then, will they not believe?" [21:30]
Only after advancement of science, do we now know that cytoplasm, the basic substance of cells are made up of 80% water. Every living thing needs water to survive and most organisms consist of 50 to 90% water.

This was revealed more then 14centuries ago, before any scientific research had been completed, certainly a miracle of the Quran.

It went thus,"Father Abraham had many sons and many sons had father abraham..." Etc
Now I understand the first line well enough but... many sons had father abraham? There seems something really... I dunno wrong about this statement.

Judges 19:24-25 "Behold, here is my daughter a maiden, and his concubine; them I will bring out now, and humble ye them, and do with them what seemeth good unto you: but unto this man do not so vile a thing. But the men would not hearken to him: so the man took his concubine, and brought her forth unto them; and they knew her, and abused her all the night until the morning: and when the day began to spring, they let her go."
Judges 19 describe a father who offers his virgin daughter to a drunken mob. When the father says "unto this man do not so vile a thing," he makes clear that sexual abuse should never befall a man (meaning him), yet a woman, even his own flesh and blood, or a concubine belonging to a perfect stranger, can receive punishment from men to do what they wish. This attitude against women still persists to this day and we have the Bible, in large part, to thank for this attitude against women.

Allaah does not prescribe any ruling but there is great wisdom behind it, which we may understand, or our minds may not be guided to understand it.

Eating of pork can cause no less than seventy different types of diseases. A person can have various helminthes like roundworm, pinworm, hookworm, etc. One of the most dangerous is Taenia Solium, which is in lay man’s terminology called tapeworm. It harbours in the intestine and is very long. Its ova i.e. eggs, enter the blood stream and can reach almost all the organs of the body. If it enters the brain it can cause memory loss. If it enters the heart it can cause heart attack, if it enters the eye it can cause blindness, if it enters the liver it can cause liver damage. It can damage almost all the organs of the body.

Pork is also forbidden in the bible:
"And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you. Ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcass." [14:8]

For Points?
To defend their thoughts in a repulsive way?
To feel relieved?
Especially Atheists (sorry for this) don't even read what's written.

I do not believe that someone watches over us nor created anything. the question of how everything started will never be known because we are human and our minds cannot comprehend what started so instead we need to focus on now. the question of good or evil should be separated. there is neither a heaven nor hell so we need to make our lives count. happiness and love are the true goals we as humans should have. in order to gain these being the best and doing the best should be top priority in our lives. evil leads to unhappiness and dispair while good does the opposite common since right then why worry about anything else. the beginning has nothing to do with us but its how we are now that shapes our future. Prayer and meditation work and with good reason. focusing the body does creat changes within and this is proven. so simply meditating with good intent could ease a mind. as humans we share a common goal as we do our dna so why separeate each other with titles of faith

.. they are not entitled to an opinion on it as they do not believe in God or understand its content. I know nothing about engines and my car wouldnt start but I read in a manual that it needed a new starter motor, I wouldn't say "I dont believe that mumbo jumbo, which idiot wrote that, all the losers that follow these make believe instructions need to get a life !!"

Forgive me, I am trying to make a comparison between people commenting on the facts that we know as the bible, being slated and pulled to bits by people who dont understand it. Fine, just answer with "I myself dont believe that so I can't comment", not "Its a loada rubbish and anyone who believes it is an idiot"

I don't understand, god says money is not important, yet he says in heaven the streets are lined with gold. Does this mean god is greedy? Also, if you spend eternity in heaven, does that mean that you will have to worship god and tell him non stop how great he is? Seems like an egomaniac to me. And if you disagree with god, he will throw you out (see satan). So, would you really want to worship something non stop forever?

We knew that some were diguised in Muslim avatars and used to plant hatred and evil between Muslims, the discussion of "Unity" revealed most of them.. The sled dogs who want us apart.. to spread terrorism.. we all know them.

We knew that Allah SWT shall be with us as long as we're with each other...

Your efforts for the unity are not useless...

Love and discussion between each other shall always remain, and people who plant evil shall always be revealed...


Despite it's inside the small community of YA! don't you think there are so many advnatages for unity?

If a persone doesn't believe in a Judgement day or God or a form of afterlife then I don't see a barrier in front of him that would prevent him doing lots of bad things that are hard to be tracked.
Though I see lots of unbelievers not acting so bad.
What's the reason?
If I didn't believe I would steal from banks, hack people's accounts, kill people I hate and so on... That would b fun I guess... But I can't!

One church is comprised of those that are undecided. They probably do not believe, but will do good works.
One church is comprised of his chosen people.
The third church I am going to call the evangelicals. They believe in the teachings of Jesus Christ, and will follow in his footsteps (however misguided they are in their attempts to walk in his shoes).
The Fourth church is comprised of those that I call the fighters, those that have that take it or leave it mentality. No one can teach them anything. They are willing to kill for their beliefs.
The fifth church is comprised of those that are pure believers. The sixth church are the poor believers, or the harried. They believe that they have to do everything to please everyone, mostly to their own detriment.
The seventh church are the rich believers, those that know what they have and feel that no one can tell them anything. The believe in the finery, and dressing well. Others need them more than they need others.

The Book of Isaiah was written 800 BC.
The DSS has the intact book of Isaiah dated 250 BC
In the Gospel of Luke Jesus teaches from the prophesies of Isaiah 53 Jesus claims this scripture is prophesy of him that he will fufill.
The Qu'ran in written in 600 AD Muhammad's book disagreesw iht the prophsies of Isiaiah
The book of Isiah we have today agrees wiht the scripture Jesus read in Luke, and the dead sea scrolls where Isaiah sas the Messiah will atone for sin.
If the book of Isaiah is corrupt now why is it the same as when Jesus refered to it?
Why is it the same as 250 years before the birth of Christ?
If this prophesy of Christ is not corrupt why is the Qu'ran teaching different than the prophets of God and Jesus?

If you check Sura 4-35 in the Quran.
It says the following:
" Men are managers of the affairs of women for that God has preferred in bounty one of them over another, and for that they have expended of their property."

This Surah clearly tells us Men are above women. So how can Muslim women say they are equal to Men.
Also just a note if anyone mentions a hadith(prophets sayings) saying the prophet said "Man is equal to woman" please let me know. Becuase a hadith should not contradict the Quran. Quran stands by itself. If a hadith contradicts the Quran the Hadith is considered to be invalid. Also the Quran does says respect your parents, don't use the argument saying the prophet said mother is most important person in the world. Mother is a parent. A man can beat his wife and his daughter but not his mother.

So once again on what basis do western muslimah considers themselves equal to men when it is clearly forbidden in the Quran?

Love is not jealous or boastful. Exodus 34:14 and 20:5
I the Lord your God am a jealous God ... for the Lord, Whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God. Exodus 34:14 and 20:5

Love] is not arrogant or rude ... it is not irritable or resentful. Joshua 24:13,14; Ecclesiasticus 5:6; and Ezekial 18:3-4
He is a jealous God, He will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins. If you forsake the Lord, then He will turn and do you hurt, and consume you... To him belong both mercy and anger, and sinners feel the weight of his retribution ... All life belongs to me; the father's life and the son's life, both alike belong to me. The man who has sinned, he is the one who shall die. Joshua 24:13,14; Ecclesiasticus 5:6; and Ezekial 18:3-4
