32 Such is Allah, your Lord—the True. What is there, beyond the truth, except falsehood? How are you turned away?
33 Thus your Lord’s Word proved true against those who disobeyed, for they do not believe.
34 Say, “Can any of your partners initiate creation, and then repeat it?” Say, “Allah initiates creation, and then repeats it. How are you so deluded?”
35 Say, “Can any of your partners guide to the truth?” Say, “Allah guides to the truth. Is He who guides to the truth more worthy of being followed, or he who does not guide, unless he himself is guided? What is the matter with you? How do you judge?”
36 Most of them follow nothing but assumptions; and assumptions avail nothing against the truth. Allah is fully aware of what they do.
37 This Quran could not have been produced by anyone other than Allah. In fact, it is a confirmation of what preceded it, and an elaboration of the Book. There is no doubt about it—it is from the Lord of the Universe.
38 Or do they say, “He has forged it”? Say, “Then produce a single chapter like it, and call upon whomever you can, apart from Allah, if you are truthful.”
39 In fact, they deny what is beyond the limits of their knowledge, and whose explanation has not yet reached them. Thus those before them refused to believe. So note the consequences for the wrongdoers.
40 Among them are those who believe in it, and among them are those who do not believe in it. Your Lord is fully aware of the mischief-makers.
41 If they accuse you of lying, say, “I have my deeds, and you have your deeds. You are quit of what I do, and I am quit of what you do.”
42 And among them are those who listen to you. But can you make the deaf hear, even though they do not understand?
43 And among them are those who look at you. But can you guide the blind, even though they do not see?
44 Allah does not wrong the people in the least, but the people wrong their own selves.
45 On the Day when He rounds them up—as if they had tarried only one hour of a day—they will recognize one another. Those who denied the meeting with Allah will be the losers. They were not guided.
46 Whether We show you some of what We promise them, or take you, to Us is their return. Allah is witness to everything they do.
47 Every community has a messenger. When their messenger has come, judgment will be passed between them with fairness, and they will not be wronged.
10:32-47

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Allah has declared the truth. So follow the Way of Abraham, the upright—who was not a polytheist.”
Surely the first House ˹of worship˺ established for humanity is the one at Bakkah—a blessed sanctuary and a guide for ˹all˺ people.
In it are clear signs and the standing-place of Abraham.
Whoever enters it should be safe. Pilgrimage to this House is an obligation by Allah upon whoever is able among the people.
And whoever disbelieves, then surely Allah is not in need of ˹any of His˺ creation.
Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “O People of the Book! Why do you deny the revelations of Allah, when Allah is a Witness to what you do?”
Say, “O People of the Book! Why do you turn the believers away from the Way of Allah—striving to make it ˹appear˺ crooked, while you are witnesses ˹to its truth˺? And Allah is never unaware of what you do.”
O believers! If you were to yield to a group of those who were given the Scripture, they would turn you back from belief to disbelief.
3:95-99

In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.
6 None of the towns We destroyed before them had believed. Will they, then, believe?
7 We did not send before you except men, whom We inspired. Ask the people of knowledge, if you do not know.
8 We did not make them mere bodies that ate no food, nor were they immortal.
9 Then We fulfilled Our promise to them, and We saved them together with whomever We willed, and We destroyed the extravagant.
10 We have sent down to you a Book, containing your message. Do you not understand?
11 How many a guilty town have We crushed, and established thereafter another people?
12 Then, when they sensed Our might, they started running away from it.
13 Do not run, but come back to your luxuries, and to your homes, that you may be questioned.
14 They said, “Woe to us; we were unfair.”
15 This continued to be their cry, until We made them silent ashes.
16 We did not create the sky and the earth and what is between them for amusement.
17 If We wanted amusement, We could have found it within Us, were We to do so.
18 In fact, We hurl the truth against falsehood, and it crushes it, so it vanishes. Woe unto you, for what you describe.
19 To Him belongs everyone in the heavens and the earth. Those near Him are not too proud to worship Him, nor do they waver.
20 They praise night and day, without ever tiring.
21 Or have they taken to themselves gods from the earth who resurrect?
22 If there were in them gods other than Allah, they would have gone to ruin. So glory be to Allah, Lord of the Throne, beyond what they allege.
23 He will not be questioned about what He does, but they will be questioned.
21: 5-23

In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.
1 Alif, Lam, Ra. A Scripture that We revealed to you, that you may bring humanity from darkness to light—with the permission of their Lord—to the path of the Almighty, the Praiseworthy.
2 Allah—to whom belongs what is in the heavens and the earth. And woe to the disbelievers from a severe torment.
3 Those who prefer the present life to the Hereafter, and repel from the path of Allah, and seek to make it crooked—these are far astray.
4 We never sent any messenger except in the language of his people, to make things clear for them. Allah leads astray whom He wills, and guides whom He wills. He is the Mighty, the Wise.رٍ
5 We sent Moses with Our signs: “Bring your people out of darkness into light, and remind them of the Days of Allah.” In that are signs for every patient and thankful person.”
6 Moses said to his people, “Remember Allah’s blessings upon you, as He delivered you from the people of Pharaoh, who inflicted on you terrible suffering, slaughtering your sons while sparing your daughters. In that was a serious trial from your Lord.”
7 And when your Lord proclaimed: “If you give thanks, I will grant you increase; but if you are ungrateful, My punishment is severe.”
8 And Moses said, “Even if you are ungrateful, together with everyone on earth—Allah is in no need, Worthy of Praise.”
9 Has not the story reached you, of those before you, the people of Noah, and Aad, and Thamood—and those after them? None knows them except Allah. Their messengers came to them with the clear proofs, but they tried to silence them, and said, “We reject what you are sent with, and we are in serious doubt regarding what you are calling us to.”
10 Their messengers said, “Is there any doubt about Allah, Maker of the heavens and the earth? He calls you to forgive you your sins, and to defer you until a stated term.” They said, “You are only humans like us; you want to turn us away from what our ancestors worshiped; so bring us a clear proof.”
11 Their messengers said to them, “We are only humans like you, but Allah favors whomever He wills from among His servants. We cannot possibly show you any proof, except by leave of Allah. In Allah let the faithful put their trust.”
12 “And why should we not trust in Allah, when He has guided us in our ways? We will persevere in the face of your persecution. And upon Allah the reliant should rely.”
13 Those who disbelieved said to their messengers, “We will expel you from our land, unless you return to our religion.” And their Lord inspired them: “We will destroy the wrongdoers.”دِ
14 “And We will settle you in the land after them. That is for him who fears My Majesty, and fears My threats.”
15 And they prayed for victory, and every stubborn tyrant came to disappointment.
16 Beyond him lies Hell, and he will be given to drink putrid water.
17 He will guzzle it, but he will not swallow it. Death will come at him from every direction, but he will not die. And beyond this is relentless suffering.
18 The likeness of those who disbelieve in their Lord: their works are like ashes, in a fierce wind, on a stormy day. They have no control over anything they have earned. That is the utmost misguidance.
19 Do you not see that Allah created the heavens and the earth with truth? If He wills, He can do away with you, and bring a new creation.
20 And that is not difficult for Allah.
21 They will emerge before Allah, altogether. The weak will say to those who were proud, “We were your followers, can you protect us at all against Allah’s punishment?” They will say, “Had Allah guided us, we would have guided you. It is the same for us; whether we mourn, or are patient; there is no asylum for us.”
22 And Satan will say, when the issue is settled, “Allah has promised you the promise of truth, and I promised you, but I failed you. I had no authority over you, except that I called you, and you answered me. So do not blame me, but blame yourselves. I cannot come to your aid, nor can you come to my aid. I reject your associating with me in the past. The wrongdoers will have a torment most painful.”
23 But those who believed and did good deeds will be admitted into gardens beneath which rivers flow, to remain therein forever, by leave of their Lord. Their greeting therein will be: “Peace.”
24 Do you not see how Allah presents a parable? A good word is like a good tree—its root is firm, and its branches are in the sky.
25 It yields its fruits every season by the will of its Lord. Allah presents the parables to the people, so that they may reflect.
26 And the parable of a bad word is that of a bad tree—it is uprooted from the ground; it has no stability.
27 Allah gives firmness to those who believe, with the firm word, in this life, and in the Hereafter. And Allah leads the wicked astray. Allah does whatever He wills.
28 Have you not seen those who exchanged the blessing of Allah with blasphemy, and landed their people into the house of perdition?
29 Hell—they will roast in it. What a miserable settlement.
30 And they set up rivals to Allah, in order to lead away from His path. Say, “Enjoy yourselves; your destination is the Fire.”
31 Tell My servants who have believed to perform the prayers, and to give from what We have given them, secretly and publicly, before a Day comes in which there is neither trading nor friendship.
14:1-31

Has the time not come for those who have believed that their hearts should become humbly submissive at the remembrance of Allah and what has come down of the truth?
And let them not be like those who were given the Scripture before,
and a long period passed over them,
so their hearts hardened;
and many of them are defiantly disobedient.
Al Hadid (57) :16

every time I feel sad about Palestine,syria,Yemen and all the suffering Muslims around the world
I remember
Surah Al Baqarah | Ayah 214

 

[Hopeful]

 

[DesertRose]

71 If the truth conformed to their desires, the heavens, the earth, and everyone in them would have gone to ruin. In fact, We have given them their message, but they keep avoiding their message.
72 Or are you asking them for a payment? The revenue from your Lord is better, and He is the Best of providers.
73 You are inviting them to a straight path.
74 But those who do not believe in the Hereafter are swerving from the path.
75 Even if We had mercy on them, and relieved their problems, they would still blindly persist in their defiance.
76 We have already gripped them with suffering, but they did not surrender to their Lord, nor did they humble themselves.
77 Until, when We have opened before them a gate of intense agony, at once they will despair.
78 It is He who produced for you the hearing, and the eyesight, and the feelings. But little gratitude you show.
79 And it is He who multiplied you on earth, and to Him you will be gathered.
80 And it is He who gives life and brings death, and to Him is the alternation of night and day. Do you not understand?
81 But they say the like of what the ancients said.
82 They say, “After we have died, and become dust and bones, will we be resurrected?
83 We were promised this before—we and our ancestors—these are nothing but legends of the ancients.”
84 Say, “To whom does the earth belong, and everyone in it, if you happen to know?”
85 They will say, “To Allah.” Say, “Will you not reflect?”
86 Say, “Who is the Lord of the seven heavens, and Lord of the Splendid Throne?”
87 They will say, “To Allah.” Say, “Will you not become righteous?”
88 Say, “In whose hand is the dominion of all things, and He protects and cannot be protected from, if you happen to know?”
89 They will say, “To Allah.” Say, “Then are you bewitched?”
90 In fact, We have given them the truth, and they are liars.
91 Allah has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to Allah, far beyond what they describe.
92 The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate.

Sura 106

Surah 106. Winter, Quraish

106:1 For the Covenants (of security and safeguard enjoyed) by the Gathered: the “Elect” – Gen. 49:10; Enoch 1;Matt. 24:22),
106:2. Their Covenants (Old and New Covenants - Rev. 14:1-3; Rev. 15:3) (covering) journeys by Winter and Summer (Thomas 4:1-2),-
106:3. Let them adore the Lord of this House (the “House of Israel”),
106:4. Who provides them with food against hunger (Isa. 33:16-17), and with security against fear (of danger).

 

[DesertRose]

23 But Allah will admit those who believe and do good deeds into Gardens beneath which rivers flow. They will be decorated therein with bracelets of gold and pearls, and their garments therein will be of silk.
24 They were guided to purity of speech. They were guided to the path of the Most Praised.
25 As for those who disbelieve and repel from Allah’s path and from the Sacred Mosque—which We have designated for all mankind equally, whether residing therein or passing through—and whoever seeks to commit sacrilege therein—We will make him taste of a painful punishment.
26 We showed Abraham the location of the House: “Do not associate anything with Me; and purify My House for those who circle around, and those who stand to pray, and those who kneel and prostrate.”
27 And announce the pilgrimage to humanity. They will come to you on foot, and on every transport. They will come from every distant point.
28 That they may witness the benefits for themselves, and celebrate the name of Allah during the appointed days, for providing them with the animal livestock. So eat from it, and feed the unfortunate poor.
29 Then let them perform their acts of cleansing, and fulfill their vows, and circle around the Ancient House.
30 All that. Whoever venerates the sanctities of Allah—it is good for him with his Lord. All livestock are permitted to you, except what is recited to you. So stay away from the abomination of idols, and stay away from perjury.
31 Being true to Allah, without associating anything with Him. Whoever associates anything with Allah—it is as though he has fallen from the sky, and is snatched by the birds, or is swept away by the wind to a distant abyss.
32 So it is. Whoever venerates the sacraments of Allah—it is from the piety of the hearts.
33 In them are benefits for you until a certain time. Then their place is by the Ancient House.
34 We have appointed a rite for every nation, that they may commemorate Allah’s name over the livestock He has provided for them. Your God is One God, so to Him submit, and announce good news to the humble.
35 Those whose hearts tremble when Allah is mentioned, and those who endure what has befallen them, and those who perform the prayer and spend from what We have provided for them.
22:23-35

34 We have sent down to you clarifying revelations, and examples of those who passed on before you, and advice for the righteous.
35 Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The allegory of His light is that of a pillar on which is a lamp. The lamp is within a glass. The glass is like a brilliant planet, fueled by a blessed tree, an olive tree, neither eastern nor western. Its oil would almost illuminate, even if no fire has touched it. Light upon Light. Allah guides to His light whomever He wills. Allah thus cites the parables for the people. Allah is cognizant of everything.
36 In houses which Allah has permitted to be raised, and His name is celebrated therein. He is glorified therein, morning and evening.
37 By men who neither trading nor commerce distracts them from Allah’s remembrance, and from performing the prayers, and from giving alms. They fear a Day when hearts and sights are overturned.
38 Allah will reward them according to the best of what they did, and He will increase them from His bounty. Allah provides for whomever He wills without reckoning.
39 As for those who disbelieve, their works are like a mirage in a desert. The thirsty assumes it is to be water. Until, when he has reached it, he finds it to be nothing, but there he finds Allah, Who settles his account in full. Allah is swift in reckoning.
40 Or like utter darkness in a vast ocean, covered by waves, above which are waves, above which is fog. Darkness upon darkness. If he brings out his hand, he will hardly see it. He to whom Allah has not granted a light has no light.
41 Do you not realize that Allah is glorified by whatever is in the heavens and the earth, and even by the birds in formation? Each knows its prayer and its manner of praise. Allah knows well what they do.
42 To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and to Allah is the ultimate return.
43 Have you not seen how Allah propels the clouds, then brings them together, then piles them into a heap, and you see rain drops emerging from its midst? How He brings down loads of hail from the sky, striking with it whomever He wills, and diverting it from whomever He wills? The flash of its lightning almost snatches the sight away.
44 Allah alternates the night and the day. In that is a lesson for those who have insight.
45 Allah created every living creature from water. Some of them crawl on their bellies, and some walk on two feet, and others walk on four. Allah creates whatever He wills. Allah is Capable of everything.
46 We sent down enlightening revelations, and Allah guides whomever He wills to a straight path.
47 And they say, “We have believed in Allah and the Messenger, and we obey,” but some of them turn away afterwards. These are not believers.
48 And when they are called to Allah and His Messenger, in order to judge between them, some of them refuse.
49 But if justice is on their side, they accept it willingly.
50 Is there sickness in their hearts? Or are they suspicious? Or do they fear that Allah may do them injustice? Or His Messenger? In fact, they themselves are the unjust.
51 The response of the believers, when they are called to Allah and His Messenger in order to judge between them, is to say, “We hear and we obey.” These are the successful.
52 Whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger, and fears Allah, and is conscious of Him—these are the winners.
53 And they swear by Allah with their solemn oaths, that if you commanded them, they would mobilize. Say, “Do not swear. Obedience will be recognized. Allah is experienced with what you do.”
54 Say, “Obey Allah and obey the Messenger.” But if they turn away, then he is responsible for his obligations, and you are responsible for your obligations. And if you obey him, you will be guided. It is only incumbent on the Messenger to deliver the Clarifying Message.
55 Allah has promised those of you who believe and do righteous deeds, that He will make them successors on earth, as He made those before them successors, and He will establish for them their religion—which He has approved for them—and He will substitute security in place of their fear. They worship Me, never associating anything with Me. But whoever disbelieves after that—these are the sinners.
56 Pray regularly, and give regular charity, and obey the Messenger, so that you may receive mercy.
57 Never think that those who disbelieve can escape on earth. Their place is the Fire; a miserable destination.

24: 34-57

This is the first verse from surah Muhammad. I've been seeing this verse and those like it often recently, "blocking people from Gods path". It certainly does fit a few people here.

It is thought provoking really. How many here go out of there way to attack Islam? Without thought, without reason? Indeed it is like spitting at the moon. But they do it anyway. I guess they expect to gain something??? ... while the reality is they are being stripped of righteous deeds.

Its like walking out into traffic... no benefits but you can get seriously messed up. Yet some defiantly walk out into it anyway. Imagine, a crazy sight but it is hardly a rare one.

May the Almighty keep us from being amongst the ignorant.

I have not seen that movie in some time. At least 5 years. I should watch it again sometime. I remember it highlighted Salahuddin's mercy by letting the Christians go. Even though when the Templar's took the city beforehand during the Crusades blood flowed like water.

“The slaughter was so great that [Crusader] men waded in blood up to their ankles…” ~Gesta Francorum

Why would you share that clip? The Crusades was part of the blood soaked history of Christianity. Nothing was sacred, woman, children, everyone was targeted. We know today the templars were actually occultists who literally worshiped demons openly engaging in homosexual acts. This is the reason Friday the 13th is seen as a negative day because its the day the templars were allegedly forced out of Europe.

I don't know why you'd share that video here. To be honest I'm surprised you read this thread. Only ones i see here are Muslims and those who wish to derail it. Lord knows i don't read the Bible thread. Why would I?

If you are looking to derail or troll then pm me. This thread is not the place for it. Honor my thread like i honor yours.

Peace.
