    Isa al-Masih and Allah

    I think the problem here is just the meaning of "to beget" itself. Since we're speaking of the Quran, "beget" is most likely used in the archaic sense, which carries sexual connotations.

    Islam, how much do you really know about it?

    Hi, studentmomma. I'm not sure how many Muslims are online these days, perhaps they are busy. I am a convert, not sure if that makes a difference or not. If none of the more knowledgeable brothers and sisters are able to help, I would be more than happy to do so.

    Islam, how much do you really know about it?

    I do not ignore what scientists have to say, as that goes against the principles of Islam. So, I take into consideration as much as possible. You say that you don't allow scientists to have authority over you when it comes to important questions. However, when I express my general thoughts on...

    Islam, how much do you really know about it?

    So, those of us with a limited understanding of the theory should ignore what scientists have to say about it? They are knowledgeable of the subject and therefore have much more credibility than I do. I did not say I am going to ignore evolution and just leave it to the experts. In fact, I said...

    Islam, how much do you really know about it?

    Of course I've thought of that. However, that is the key word here: maybe. I prefer to stay neutral on the subject since my knowledge is undoubtedly limited. Whether evolution is a part of biological history or not, I believe intelligent and purposeful design is behind everything.

    Islam, how much do you really know about it?

    There is much about evolution that I do not understand, nor will I pretend to understand it. I wouldn't be surprised if my knowledge about it is outdated. That does not mean that I'm completely ignorant about the subject and that I simply spout off whatever sounds good. I understand where you...

    Islam, how much do you really know about it?

    Ah, so, because I believe in God and His books, I am nothing more than a "stubborn follower of man's words". Hardly. I find science fascinating and it is one of my favorite subjects to study, particularly biology. The teachings of the Quran do not conflict with proven science; in fact, it...

    Islam, how much do you really know about it?

    "Parroted" arguments in response to "parroted" conjecture - makes sense to me. However, I have no intention of turning this thread into an evolution discussion. Just some general points that come to mind: A complex, fully formed, perfectly designed cell came from nothing? The nature of...

    Islam, how much do you really know about it?

    Firm believers in God are naturally going to trust His word over a scientist's any day, so the disbelief shouldn't be all that surprising. That's not to say that we don't think for ourselves. The more I understand evolution, the more illogical I find it to be. Darwinism contradicts modern...

    Thank you :) If I have anything constructive to add to the discussion, I will do that insha Allah.

    Christianity vs Islam

    No, Muslims didn't have a strong presence in India until like the 11th century. In fact, no expansion into foreign territory occured during Muhammad's lifetime. It began under the Rashidun Caliphate. I don't know about the 27 invasions thing. I'm just aware that Muhammad's forces won several...

    Islam, how much do you really know about it?

    Hope you don't mind me stepping in here for a second, Eselam. I'd just like to make a few points here that were floating through my mind relating to the nature of Don's question. First of all, I'd like to address the subject of what, exactly, an "infidel" is. Most people would say "unbeliever"...

    Christianity vs Islam

    Yes, I agree. Despite the countless similarities between Christians and Muslims, it's the concept of God and Jesus that serves as the major divider. The Quran glorifies Jesus abundantly, but rejects his divinity. The concept of God is also very simple and straightforward in Islam. If you ask a...

    Christianity vs Islam

    I'm not being touchy, I'm simply responding to a point that you yourself brought up. Anyway, none of the aforementioned conflicts occurred until 633, the year after Muhammad died.

    Christianity vs Islam

    No invasions took place during the time of Muhammad (pbuh). As for the Arabs, a small group of Muslims attacked a caravan during the forbidden month, an attack that was not authorized by Muhammad. He and the community expressed deep disappointment in the men when they returned to Madinah.

    Christianity vs Islam

    You must also try to understand that when confronted with information that contradicts Islam, naturally I am going to consider it in a very guarded manner. In any case, I understand where you're coming from and I will try to avoid using Muslim sources if possible. This "we" issue shouldn't even...
