Sura 5
(105) O ye who believe! Let there be witnesses between you when death draweth nigh unto one of you, at the time of bequest - two witnesses, just men from among you, or two others from another tribe, in case ye are campaigning in the land and the calamity of death befall you. Ye shall empanel them both after the prayer, and, if ye doubt, they shall be made to swear by Allah...

Muslims, in every humble eyes it is not respectful to swear by God. Why is so difficult to admit that God's wisdom must live within us rather than in a book. I guess men can not make true justice without a book.

I though that was the whole purpose of God's messages, to build righteous men.

I find Quran is not a predicament of Love but of hate. It is more about the Arab race than about love.

Lyn C - Truth word of God would be if you had original words Jesus AS spoke in Armaic language. What you have is a translation of translation. I don't care if you believe that Quran is not true word of God.

How can you be sure that it is 100% correct translation without the original text to be confirmed by the scholars of Armaic language. Jesus didn't dictate God's words sent to him through Angel Gabriel to his helpers. The words in Bible are written from the memory of people's statements over 100 years later and some say over 200 years later. Writers of Bible wrote sitting in Montesaries. They didn't go any where to interview people to confirm what they heard was the true truth.

Raggie - You say you never met any Muslim or one who understood Quran, a lot of them never read or their own Quran.

How do you know that Muslims don't read Quran or don't own one. Obviously you are making up - a lie.

D Man - You say --Cos Allah is not .

Allah is Arabic name of God like Hindus call God Eishwar, Red Indians referred to God as High Spirit.

R U sure God doesn't exists? R U Atheist?

When if deny existence of God,

God may leave you alone for ever and never bless you for any thing even if what you do is Good. On the Day of Judgment such people will be thrown in hell fire. God may not even want to see you. And you will nothing compared to Angels of hell.

I swear by Almighty God, to speak the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

That's not taking the name of your God in vain, that's calling on God to be your witness.

If you then tell an untruth, God witnesses this too.

Since Jews, Christians and Muslims believe in one and the same God, it makes no difference whether one calls Him Jehovah, God or Allah. Most monotheists know to whom they are referring.

So you decided to take a verse and divorce it from the particular context it was revealed in or you divorced it from the section it was revealed in.What about the whole sura(chapter) what does it say as a whole? if am correct you probably don't have an idea.

the cut and paste approach is old and only used by those who can't see beyond there own desires.

Why not? When a person swears by Allah, he is asking Allah to witness that he is telling the truth.

Swearing has two meanings: derogatively attack someone.

and say: I swear in Gods name!!

the verse refers to the second meaning.

Dictionary meaning of the word 'swear':
1. to make a solemn declaration or affirmation by some sacred being or object, as a deity or the Bible.
2. to bind oneself by oath.
3. to give evidence or make a statement on oath.
4. to use profane oaths or language: Don't swear in front of the children.
–verb (used with object)
