Given modern distractions, the need to understand Islam better has never been more urgent. Through this forum we can share ideas and hopefully promote the true spirit of Islam which calls for peace, justice, tolerance, inclusiveness and diversity.

whats your logic says about this anajmi. If imamuzaman is coming in front of you and saying that he is imam, the r u gonna believe that? How to believe who is real guide. Quran is not enough to learn, To complite your studies in any field u need book as well as a teacher who will clear the book.

<br>"Certainly, God, the glorified, has made His remembrance the means of burnishing the hearts, which makes them hear after deafness, see after blindness, and makes them submissive after unruliness. In all the periods and times when there were no prophets, there have been individuals with whom God - precious are His bounties - spoke in whispers through their conscience and intellects." <br>- Amir al-Mu'minin 'Ali (A), Nahjul Balaagha, sermon 222<p>

Khuzema,<p>Believing or not believing is not in my hands. As Brother Muslim said, it is in the hand of the Lord almighty.<p>If Allah wishes I will believe with the minimum of proof in the true Messiah, if not the greatest of proofs will not be enough.

"If Allah wishes I will believe with the minimum of proof in the true Messiah, if not the greatest of proofs will not be enough."<p>If it is indeed Allah who instills belief ( a theory that sounds Karmic in its concept) then why are you and the others arguing with mere humans whose failure to see the True Way is not of their own volition?<br>

That is because I like speaking out for the religion of Allah and I like kicking non-believer butt (allegorically speaking)<p>And may be Allah will take pity on you and your sore butt and decide to open your heart towards the truth.<p>You need to be more intelligent than you are, babu, to understand the above.

"And may be Allah will take pity on you and your sore butt and decide to open your heart towards the truth."<p>The same idea in a different sentence; old wine in a new bottle - something Muslims have had 1400 years practice of.<p>"You need to be more intelligent than you are, babu, to understand the above."<p>And people claim Islam is a natural religion easy for EVERYONE to follow! <br>

I can easily answer all your questions and shut your mouth till eternity, but I am unwilling to answer. See I am planning to get initiated into the ismaili gang (whatever that is) so I am practicing to be one.<p>Unwillingness to answer is not the same as inability to answer, I am unwilling to answer. You understand that right?

Anajmi - very Islamic - borrow a theme, manipulate it a bit and post to three different threads. Non-Muslims point out that Islam is just an assimilation ( compendium) of earlier ideas on morality etc. Anajmi who would like to be seen as the archetypal Muslim has regularly displayed this trait. Admit personal deficiencies or sink the whole community with you.

Baburao,<p>I can answer all your questions, but I am unwilling to answer. I am planning to get initiated. <p>There is a difference between unwillingness to answer and inability to answer. I thought you understood that.
