On you be peace, from As'salaam, the source of peace. 👋 Allah says, translating into English... [24:35] Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The example of His light is like a niche within which there is a lamp, the lamp is encased in a glass, the glass is like a radiant planet, which is lit from a blessed olive tree that is neither of the east nor of the west, its oil nearly gives off light even if not touched by fire.

Peace. The argument for two divine books via Kayvon Note..., the plural books. The assertion is the plural books refers to two books. The first mention of book refers to the Quran, and the other book...? The one that came before. [4:136] O you who believe; believe in God and His messenger, and the Book which was sent down to His messenger, and the Book which was sent before. And whoever rejects Allah, and His angels, and His Books, and His messengers, and the Last Day; then he has strayed...

The Salah and the Dua are two separate concepts, and related behaviours. How do we know that? Because what is being said is the prayer (dua), which is asking to establish the Salah. [14:39] "Praise be to God who has granted me to my old age Ishmael and Isaac; my Lord is Hearer of the prayer." [14:40] "My Lord, let me hold the Salah, and also from my progeny. Our Lord, and accept my prayer (dua)." [14:41] "Our Lord, forgive me and my parents, and the believers on the Day the reckoning is cal...

God says, paraphrasing in English [10:100] And it is not for a soul to believe except with the permission of God. And He lets foulness be upon those who do not use reason. and [92:12] For guidance is up to Us. and [17:15] Whoever is guided is guided for himself, and whoever is misguided is for his own loss. And no bearer may carry the burden of another; and We were not to punish until We send a messenger. [35:24] We have sent you with the truth as a bearer of good news and a warner. T...

via Kayvon. Fitrah Natural disposition to God Natural inclination to God [30:30] So set your face to the system of monotheism. It is the inclination that God has nurtured the people on. There is no changing in the creation of God. Such is the pure system, but most of the people do not know. ...

Brother Kayvon is always concerned that people have not received the message. Or what if they have received the corrupt message. These ayat shed light on that situation. [16:35] And those who were polytheists said: "If God had wished, we would not have served a thing other than Him; neither us nor our fathers; nor would we have made forbidden anything other than from Him." Those before them did exactly the same thing; so are the messengers required to do anything except deliver with clar...

Ayat discussed [53:32] They avoid major sins and immorality, except for minor offences. Your Lord is with vast forgiveness. He has been fully aware of you since He initiated you from the earth, and while you were embryos in the wombs of your mothers. Therefore, do not ascribe purity to yourselves; He is fully aware of the righteous. [15:26] And We have created the Insaan from a sludge from hot sediment.

Reminder [39:18] The ones who listen to what is being said, and then follow the best of it. These are the ones whom God has guided, and these are the ones who possess intelligence. And note, at the moment of death ⤵️ [16:32] Those whom their lives are terminated by the angels, while they had been good, they will say: "Peace be upon you, enter Paradise because of that which you have done." [8:50] And if you could only see as the angels terminate the lives of those who have rejected, they s...

Al'hakim ☝ The wise, the possessor of knowledge, and the "meta" wisdom the source of wisdom ⊃ [4:78] Wherever you may be, death will find you, even if you are in fortified towers. If any good befalls them, they say: "This is from God," and if any evil befalls them, they say: "This is from you!" Say: "All is from God;" what is wrong with these people, they barely understand any narrative! This ayat shows that all is from God, the good, bad and ugly. Yet, [4:79] Any good that befalls ...

Al'haqq ☝ The truth. 12:76: So he began with their bags before the bag of his brother. Then he brought it out of the bag of his brother. It was such that We planned for Joseph, for he would not have been able to take his brother under the system of the king, except that God wished it so. We raise the degrees of whom We please, and over every one of knowledge is the All Knowledgeable. 🙌 Al'hamdulilah The beauty of God is so great Note here, it's not just the story of Joseph, it's also the...

He is the One who has created for you all that is on the earth, then He attended to the heaven and has made it seven heavens, and He is aware of all things. W...

As'salaam | the source of peace, to you | u'Alykum. Simple reflection. Had a really nice meeting with a few friends. Quran types. 💕♥ The predictability we experience, the laws and such, are a mercy from God. Imagine Moses having to pick up the staff, which became a snake, at night time. Recall, he thought he would bring back some news from the light that caught his attention. One recurring theme in the Quran is getting comfortable with confronting fears. Moses, God shows us in the Qura...

Bismillah. Question On [Stack Exchange][🍔] someone asked Non Muslim person said he believes this world was created by Nature, and that things that happen in his life is due to karma.

The Quran alone community has good reason for skepticism around the word "salah" or "salat" as it relates to ritualized Islam. Some from the Quran alone espouse a practice of not following the Sunni 5 daily salah ritual. Note, salah, not "prayer". Why? Because the Quran only talks ...

Ar'rasaq ☝ The provider ⤵ As'salaam (the source of peace) u'Alykum (to you) Thanks for visiting. Iff God wills, you'll learn about tarteel, at the very least my understanding of the term.

Bismillah, hir'Rahman nir'Raheem. Allah, however, you've said Allah, in the Yusuf Ali translation, that you, Allah, you have placed love between people. Yet, Allah, you say, somewhere in your Quran, that you stand in the way between two individuals, perhaps, two entities of any kind. Love Allah, are you love? Sweet Malik, love..., Ar'Rahman, Thabath'yadaa, ab'hi luh'bi'yuh wataa'bb. Allah, does that not translate to perish, the hands, the father of flame? Or, "Perish the hands of the fir...

In the name of God, the wise, the source of peace. It's news to many folks that the Qur'an is an argument. Before I was led to the Qur'an, I was a budding student of philosophy. My history prior to that was trinitarian baptist christianity, Al'hamdulilah! God was kind enough to introduce me to so many lovely people and fun along the way. At any rate, it was in my university years that I learnt about philisophical argumentation, and logic in particular, and that piqued my interest. God be pr...

Obviously, over the years, completely out of it kinda parents, however, also over the years, unbelievably loving, resilient, strong, principled and all sorts of other amazing qualities type of parents. I did a quick "keyword search" for parents in the Monotheist Group's translation of the Qur'an and these were the verses that turned up. I've added my own "commentary" below, and it represents my thoughts as of th...

I never used to do this in the past. Certainly not the way I'm doing it now. Wha? Qur'an and "Islam" research on the world wide web. I stayed clear from it. Not that I didn't care about the subjects and topics, however I was acutely aware (paranoid 🤔) of the browser tracking, YouTube watch history, blah, blah, blah. I was super selective about my sources of information. That bit is out the window now. Not that I don't care about privacy and "where I get my news from" and things like that, I ...

[49:11] O you who believe, let not any people ridicule other people, for they may be better than they. Nor shall any women ridicule other women, for they may be better than they.
