Re: How did angels know man would be corrupt?

The angels saw the corruption that humans would spread, but did they fail to see the sacrifice that the humans would make for the sake of mankind? Yes, like Wahhabis who blow themselves up also killing innocent Muslims in a great personal sacrifice for the betterment of Islam! No wonder angels fail...

With the last few idiotic posts by porus, he proves once more that he may know the difference between lam and laa in Arabic but has no idea what an ayah of the Quran says.

Re: How did angels know man would be corrupt?

So I guess you've got it all wrong as far as the human panjatan is concerned right? Not only were they not infallible, but because of the fact that they have been created from the same dense material as other humans, they are just as corruptible!! Hey muttonhead, Panjatan, like Prophets, were prote...

Re: How did angels know man would be corrupt?

Right from Adam there are tons of prophets to whom Azazil diverted. Azazil is Shaytan. The only Prophet that Shaytan led astray was Adam. And that happened before Adam was Prophet and not on earth. All Prophets (on earth) since then were protected from being led astray by Shaytan who must have trie...

In Surat al-ikhlas He says that He did not beget? Actually, he says that he does not beget. No, He actually says " لَمْ يَلِدْ " , which means "He did not beget". If He wanted to say "He does not beget", He would have said " لا يَلِدُ " That is a free Element...

And yet, Allah Himself uses the argument that 'how could He Himself possibly have a son when He has no spouse"! Hmm. You do not need the panjatan to interpret this ayah for you unless you are completely blind. When people said Allah had a son, did they say so because of the power of Allah to s...
