    Creation of the earth and heaven in Quran

    The same dumb argument that has been responded to billions of times. The word "day" is the translation of the word "yaum" in Arabic which means both 1- "a 24 hour day" or 2- "a period of time". The word day has the exact same 2 meaningings in English. This is how day is defined in the Concise...

    What is Sin in the Abraham Systems?

    Of course no body knows the mind of God and it is beyond human comprehension. OP asked a question about the Abrahamic system. In the Abrahamic system (or at least what I understand from Shia Islam) God sends his prophets and messengers to inform the people about His wishes and commands. Thus we...

    The Quran - dress code for women

    According to verse 75:19 of the Quran (translations here: al-Qiyamah 75:19 ) the explanation and interpretation of the Quran was separately revealed to Muhammad by God. So there are many verses in the Quran that speak of a very general topic whose details were further revealed to the Prophet...

    Why did God send Messenger to convey His message instead of directly coming to speak?

    Not a single one of these verses denotes the coming of God to earth. Not a single Muslim has understood these verses as meaning God will come to earth. The aforementioned quotes are verbatim quotes from Baha'u'llah's Book of Iqan (certitude). Since Baha'u'lah claims he is God he tries to prove...

    Would you believe in Shia Islam if its End Time Prophecies Occured?

    Yes it is disobedience of things that are gravely important. But who am I to judge. God knows better.

    Islamic Basics, part 1: Is the Quran perfect, timeless, and clear?

    Not, "Mostly". All those conquests were planned and executed by Sunnis. For the first few hundred years of Islam, there was never a Shia government and Shias were extremely oppressed and killed in many places by the Sunnis and were forced to dissimulate their beliefs. Even when there were Shia...

    Equality of Men and Women

    You do know that this is not an official translation of Baha'i texts? And that the original Persian or Arabic transcript of the alleged statement does not exist? So, I'm wondering why you vehemently deny and attack any translation of Baha'i texts that does not suit you, but easily propagate a...

    Would you believe in Shia Islam if its End Time Prophecies Occured?

    We are tested in this world for a limited time until we die. If our intentions are to disobey God eternally, then that would lead to eternal punishment, but if our intentions are to obey God eternally, then we would be rewarded with eternal blessings.

    Islamic Basics, part 1: Is the Quran perfect, timeless, and clear?

    Did you just create this definition?! Because I have never heard of such a definition in my all years as a Shia Muslim. We've been victims of Sunni terrorism ever since the death of the Prophet. However, I'd appreciate if people don't generalize the beliefs and actions of one sect of Islam to...

    Would you believe in Shia Islam if its End Time Prophecies Occured?

    Fair enough. Is there anything that might be enough evidence for you to accept his claims, before you see how he rules? If yes, what?

    Would you believe in Shia Islam if its End Time Prophecies Occured?

    I don't want to go into detail about the Prophecies. But let's just say he performs the impossible (miracles) then claims he has been sent by God. Would you accept his claims, or would you need more proof?

    Would you believe in Shia Islam if its End Time Prophecies Occured?

    Not all acts performed by those claiming to be Muslims are the teachings of Islam. The same applies to all other beliefs too.

    Would you believe in Shia Islam if its End Time Prophecies Occured?

    Let's say you recognized such a situation (using whatever means). How would you act then?

    Would you believe in Shia Islam if its End Time Prophecies Occured?

    So you are implying we have no way of knowing what is good or bad?

    Would you believe in Shia Islam if its End Time Prophecies Occured?

    Explaining and answering questions is one of their main duties.

    Would you believe in Shia Islam if its End Time Prophecies Occured?

    That is interesting. Is there really such a Prophecy about someone being shot in the head and not dying then claiming to be the leader of the world?
