    Many questions about some verses

    Salaam alaikum, cabdixakim. I think you are right. Not every natural disaster is a punishment from God, the verses I listed were only pertaining to the past and it would make sense that God was saying He won't destroy any locality as a punishment, not any locality in general. He will destroy or...

    Many questions about some verses

    May the peace of God be upon you also. Are you sure entire nations were engulfed in punishments? This was the case for the 'Ad and Thamud, but not the people of Ancient Egypt (only Pharaoh and some of his ministers and soldiers were drowned according to the Quran) or the Jewish people after...

    Many questions about some verses

    Salaam alaikum, and thank you for your answer to the first part of this question. Allah does destroy many villages and sometimes entire cities. Look at tsunamis and earthquakes and volcanic outbreaks, which have claimed lives sometimes tens of thousands. God sends them on Muslims and...

    Many questions about some verses

    Hello and salaam alaikum. I was wondering if the Muslim posters here could please address some questions I have about these verses, would be much appreciated. 6:131 This is because your Lord would not destroy the (populations of) towns for their wrong-doing (i.e. associating others in worship...

    Question about a hadith regarding fighting in Mecca

    Salaam alaikum. I apologize if I misunderstood you. Let me state what I thought we have both said so far in this discussion, and tell me if I misquoted you or misunderstood what you said. I asked why did Muhammad say that fighting in Mecca has not been allowed for anyone before him, and will...

    Hello

    Thanks for the video, A_Stranger. Started watching today, hope to finish it in the next few days, God willig. So far it is very good, and I can totally understand what he said about leaving Christianity and asking God for guidance- I ask Him for this each day also and pray He guides me to it.

    Question about a hadith regarding fighting in Mecca

    Salaam alaikum. You stated that Allah protects Mecca from any invading army, and that He protects it and destroys its aggressors. How can this be the case when in 1987, a group of extremists seized Mecca and the Saudi Army had to be called in and lay siege to the city to get them out...

    Question about 13:15

    Thank you, A_Stranger. How can this be however, when there are living things that are created by God, who never see the sunlight? How can their shadows prostrate when they have no shadows?

    Hello

    I would say it is evidence that the people who wrote it were not God, and what they wrote was a reflection of scientific knowledge of the time. Yes, but you are making the assumption that what we believe "God originally sent" is what is in our Bibles today. The Gospels may have quoted Jesus...

    Hello

    Salaam alaikum, my friend. Thanks for the reply. I will read it and respond before the next 7 days, inshAllah.

    Hello

    It may have looked that way, but he wasn't actually chewing on it. As English naturalist R M Lockley, author of the excellent book "The Private Life of the Rabbit", demonstrates on page 105 that rabbits DO NOT chew these pellets.AiG is wrong again. I repeat, rabbits DO NOT chew their cud...

    Question about a hadith regarding fighting in Mecca

    Salaam alaikum, and thank you for the answer. Thanks for differentiating between fighting and invading Mecca. If an army of non-Muslims one day seized Mecca, or even a group of Muslim extremists, wouldn't an invasion be necessary to reclaim the city? Many thanks.

    Is halaal and kosher the same?

    These are great points, Sister_Herb. I would also add that not all Halal foods would be Kosher. For example, Jews are not allowed to eat camels or rabbits while Muslims are. So although both religions forbid eating pork and according to both the animal needs to slaughtered in a humane way and...
