The Predictions of Prophet Muhammad

[syed putra]

Long time ago, I had a childhood friend who got a Colombo Plan scholarship to study metallurgy in Canada. He came back after his degree and became an administrative assistance (AA civil service); it was quite a prestigious job. I remember he was given a job and he had to visit professionals and other experts to write some research reviews on oil trading at the time. He told me he visited and talked to someone from the Indonesian embassy and he was impressed by the man - that he spoke "perfect" English. I do understand this friend of mine as he and I belong to the same "level" - not too "bright". I understand better after I converted to Islam.

There is a reason why in Islam (Quran and hadith) there is a great stress in "believing", distinguishing between a believer and a non-believer. When a man is non-believing, his heart is closed and sometimes it could even be crystallized as hard as stone. Such a person would then be stubborn, just would relish in disputes non-stop and would come to nothing. On the other hand, if a person is lucky enough to be able to open his heart and humble himself to the One God Almighty, his heart would be opened - insha Allah. In this manner he would realized things which he "forgot" in the past, before the opening of his heart and inner self.

For a Muslim, if he is sincere and has true faith, it is God who will make him more aware and thus smarter. I could later understand why the Indonesian whom my friend met could speak "perfect" English - Allah made him bright.

As i understand it, we do not need religion to submit to God. Nor books, or holy land associated to god. He is omni present. Everywhere. Just seek his guidance,

Poor you, in Islam you are not supposed to read your holy text and make up your own mind yourself?

Of course in Islam you are to consult people with knowledge AND then make up your mind. Unlike catholics who are repeatedly told to just believe even when their hearts says otherwise.

What verse are you referring to?

I think you are referring to the verse which mentions about Muslims should kill non-believers on seeing them.

I don't know the exact verse, but I am almost certain there is such a passage in the Quran; I mean in one of the translated Quran: "The Meaning of the Glorious Koran"; Translated by Muhammad Marmaduke Pickthall.

I was not disturbed at all by the verse; I was just puzzled. I also did not pay much attention to the verse. It was only very recently that I happened to chance upon a Youtube video by a Muslim scholar who specifically address this verse. I then understood the context of the verse and my puzzle was resolved.

Dr Zakir Naik is considered as a very authentic muslim scholar by many muslim forumners. But he is banned by MUIS from preaching in sinkieland, so which side is correct?

He speaks the unadulterated truth, which as is normal, will grind people who just like spoilt children will want to do what they want to do.

What you say is correct. I put believing within quotations - "believing".

In fact it has been said that the ancient Chinese had a God, Shang Di - maybe meaning the High One. It is not difficult to accept.

To believe in God is very easy; only the less fortunate ones (why so I don't know) would reject it. As you say, one does not need to be a Muslim, Christians or any religion to be a believer. A believer is one in whose heart there is humility towards the Divine - whatever it means. The only rational why the Divine exists is because man can never understand all of everything. In Islam, the Divine is God Almighty and the name is Allah.

But then, which Muslim can claim he has full knowledge of Allah. In fact there is a hadith belonging to a class called hadith Qudsi; I think it is like "inner" hadith:
"God is man's secret and man is God's secret"

Forget about any hadith or holy books. Its not needed. Seek God for guidance. He is there right in front of you. very near. Only if you know.

As I have said many times, MUIS Islam is compromised Islam. MUIS encourages muslims to share dinning tables with infidels in hawker centre, asking muslims to compromise themselves. Shame on MUIS to ban DR Zakir, the PhD in Islamic study.

I'm not the one who are referring to any verse, you are the one who said you have referred to a verse. But when i asked you which verse you are talking about, you can't answer.
