If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck!
It's the usual gig. His name Mohamed, 40 years old, from Quraish lineage, seeing divine dreams, and you quote the mahdi hadiths! Come on, all of them claim the same thing. They are all over the...
Well, the prophet, his companions and even some of the prophet's enemies are all mentioned in the Quran, not all of them by name. So, he could be in the Quran, why not?
Some say he is even mentioned by "Isaiah" in the bible as well.
I'm not saying that this man which is this thread about is...
Finally a fresh Muslim voice, who is STILL a Muslim, lol. I'm glad media started to get over the boring stance of only asking ex-Muslims and extremists to appear on the mass media.
Have you seen it yet? What do you think of it?
Yes, in Islam dreams are interpreted and this was highlighted in the Quran in chapter 12 "Yosef/Joseph". This is the only chapter in the Quran narrated as a story rather than the usual scattered concentrated informations with the rest of chapters, and speaks of various dreams and its...
Hi Stephen,
Walikum alsalam. How are you? I hope you are doing great. It's been a while.
Do you mean why cause flood gloably? Or you mean something else?
I honestly love your posts. They are very thoughtful.
After a long journey of reading and reflecting on established Muslim beliefs, i recently was able to start making my own ijtihad when interpreting the Quran.
Let me draw your attention to what you called "the middle path". It was...
Hi,
It has been a while for me since the last time i logged in. I saw a couple of your posts and they were interesting.
As for this one, it seems the video is not available anymore, so there is no way to comment on it. As for #MeToo, any specific question in mind?

I agree that we don't know who is closer to God, but i'm not talking about personal closeness to Allah but about clear islamic teachings of Quran and Sunnah which anyone has to study before making their own *fatwas*. Guess what? she didn't study them, and she just *feel* it's the right thing to...
Jihad is a struggle in the path of Allah, whether it was physical or a spiritual one. So, it's not only spiritual. All struggle to defend one self or spread justice is Jihad.
Some grounding in the Quran? no mister, not only some grounding. Scholars dedicate their whole life then they admit to not know enough. I don't have a problem if people felt *inspired*, they can do whatever they want if they felt it was right, but they need to keep studying and educating...
What makes scholars in ANY field, experts in interpreting philosophical texts, history, astronomy, etc? It's the same! someone can't simply jump into the field without any solid foundations for his/her opinion, peer reviews, institutional body recognition, etc.
So, if the woman in question...
People can't simply interpret the Quran and Sunnah the way they like it without any solid understanding. That would be just a game that anyone can play they way they see fit. The scholars are the best experts who understand the language, the meanings, etc. That is not to say individuals can't...
Because i saw you started talking about what is correct, to who, etc. When a Muslim says correct teachings of Islam, obviously he/she must be referring to islamic teachings itself (Quran, Sunnah, etc).
