Title: Introducing 'Muslim Villa' Post by: Zainab_M on September 28, 2006, 03:17:12 am BismEm salamem I bear witness that there is NO god but Allah, He has NO partner nor partners, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the slave and Final Messenger of Allah. ------------- In this forum, MV Team prefers to use the word 'ALLAH' instead of God because 'ALLAH' has no corresponding word in English. The word ALLAH has neither feminine nor plural and has never been applied to anything other than the Greatest Supreme Being, The One and Only. Muslim-Villa is a Quran only board, with a variety of other interesting topics. This is basically not an open forum. It's a read-only forum run by a small and selected number of MV hosts for the purpose of unveiling the truth that only the Quran is the source of Islam. Guests are welcomed to sign up as members, if they can abide by our rules. We are particular about the standard of our Islamic posts and our goal is to base them strictly on the Quran. Thus, we are picky when it comes to new members or contributors. Muslim Villa is open for membership to selected online visitors, depending on their posts. Those who are keen to sign up, we would strongly recommend that you first access our Guest Board (http://muslimvilla.smfforfree.com/index.php?board=19.0) prior to registering, mentioning your desire to register, the ID you wish to select and your Islamic ideology. Of course this can be possible only if you find the guest board open, as sometimes we need to shut it because of spam or abusive/aggressive messages. You can put up a more detailed introduction of yourself after your registration is confirmed at our Intro board. (http://muslimvilla.smfforfree.com/index.php?board=6.0) But without first introducing yourself at the Guest Board, (http://muslimvilla.smfforfree.com/index.php?board=19.0) we cannot guarantee that your registration will be confirmed. The only source of Islam is the Glorious Quran. We interpret Islam on the basis of the Quran only, and no outside sources. This makes Muslim Villa a genuinely conventional forum, reviving the Islam as delivered by Prophet Mohammad (S) in his lifetime which consisted of the Quran only. The only authentic information on our beloved Prophet (S) can be found within the Quran. Thus, "sunnah" must be sought within the Quran. We do not recognize the unreliable and controversial man-written Ahadith as "sayings of the Prophet" which largely contradict the Quran. Rather we recognize them as what they actually are - the sayings & writings of "sahabahs" and imams. As Muslims, it's obligatory for us to follow the Quran, not the "sahabahs" and the imams, if their views contradict the Quran. There are also many translators who have purposely mis-translated the verses of the Glorious Quran into English and other languages to keep them compatible with the Ahadith or to make them conform with their personal views by putting their own references in brackets. We do not accept such incorrect translations which are a major cause of misguidance. The standard translation we refer to is that of Muhammad Marmaduke Pickthall, which after extensive research, we have found to be the most accurate and unmotivated of all English translations. Please be informed, Muslim Villa does NOT discuss those theories called the "mathematical miracles" of the Quran. That is known to Allah alone. It is non of our business. We are only focused on understanding the dictates, principles and the events described in the Quran for the purpose of improving our spiritual and practical conduct. Period. Muslim Villa is the best online spot to learn about the simplicity, clarity and straightforwardness of Islam - ALL INTERPOLATIONS EXCLUDED. In order to uphold the Quranic truth, we avoid all Hadith-based tafsirs. Instead, Quran must be explained by being focused on it directly, with the help of one's own sincere reflections. We DO NOT carry any sectarian ideologies. All Muslims are 'just Muslims.' Having said that, it is important to add that at Muslim Villa we do NOT connect Imam Hussein, the grandson of the Prophet (S), with "shiiaism," something which is logical and true. Imam Hussein is symbolic of a person who followed the footsteps of the Prophet (S) and therefore followed the dictates of the Glorious Quran. He is the representation of a man who firmly stood up with strong resistance against tyranny, corruption and injustice which isn't only the monopoly of "shiias" or "sunnis" but MUST be adhered and upheld by all Muslims. We also encourage our members / guests to read a variety of other boards here at Muslim Villa concerning politics, literary writings, health & wellness, pets & animals, cooking and the paranormal. GUESTS CAN READ THE BOARD, VIEW LINKS & GAMES AND USE THE GUEST-BOOK BOARD. IF GUESTS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, FEEL FREE TO USE THE GUEST-BOOK. BUT MUST REGISTER TO POST MESSAGES ON OTHER BOARDS, TO ADD LINKS AND PLAY IN THE ARCADE (GAMES). If interested to sign up as member, you need to click the 'Register' button at the top of this window. If any guests, who are first-time forum users, face problems while registering, please ask for help by posting your querry on the Guest Board. Thanks for reading about us. |
