November 01, 2023, 03:43:43 pm Ruhi_Rose: Yes .. making lots of dua everyday ..... watching those real life video clips, my face feels wet with tears all the time.  May ALLAH grant the best to these wonderful, brave & steadfast martyrs,  Ameen ya Allah.
November 01, 2023, 03:38:26 pm Zainab_M: Keep praying, praying a lot for Gaza. It's worse than a prison .. it's a concentration camp.  Children as young as 10 or 11 are having to care for their younger siblings ages 2, 3 and 4 becoz many have lost both parents.  It's a very, very, very tearful situation there.
October 26, 2023, 03:40:19 pm N. Truth Seeker: Don't forget to look up MV Blog Zainab's Lounge for our Gaza updates.
October 20, 2023, 04:24:44 pm Zainab_M: Right sister Heba.  Gaza hospital bombing has the fingerprints of Israel all over it.  For Israel this is no big crime.  They have done this and much worse many times in the past and intend to do the same and worse many more times in near future.
October 20, 2023, 04:20:20 pm Heba E. Husseyn: Catching Zionist lies isn't hard. Soon after Gaza hospital bombing killing and maiming hundreds, Israel was quick to accuse Islamic Jihad of a misfired rocket.  That didn't sound plausible because IJ does not have such sophisticated bombing devices.  Zionist lie was fully exposed when anglican archbishop of Jerusalem,Hosam Naoum,  said today that 3 or 4 days prior to boming Israel had warned Gaza hospital to evacuate. Yet CIA claims in its flawed analysis that the rocket did not come from Israel.  But conveniently does not explain how Israel could have known 4 days earlier that a "misfired" rocket from IJ was coming.  Yet on the basis of this flawed & bias analysis of CIA, Biden is comforting Israel he believes Israel didn't do that war crimes bombing.
July 29, 2023, 03:02:07 am Zainab_M: Yesterday was Ashura, Muharram 10, 1444 (July 27, 2023).  Read about this very tragic day and details of the world's greatest 7th century revolutionary: WHO WAS HUSSEIN.
June 28, 2023, 09:48:39 am Zainab_M: Walaikum As Salaam.  This was the first Hajj open to all after the pandemic. It was attended by 2.6 million Muslims.

Liked this piece so, so much dear Sis.  Every bit has been explained wonderfully. 

From their obsession of "earth is flat" to their ignorance about the sun's orbit.  Wallahi!  Btw, there is a continuation of their obsession with the false claim of earth is flat. A couple of days ago I came across another similar hogwash by the Answering-Islam.  I wasn't sure whether to put this here or with the previous rejoinder by brother TS refuting their false accusation that the Quran assumes earth if flat.  Since it seems mid way between this topic and the previous one, I thought I'll post it here.


Quoting Answering-Islam critics' frenzied obsession and appetite for defamaton:

The Qur'an mentions numerous times that the sun and the moon travel in an orbit, but does not mention once that the earth does too. This is consistent with a earth-centered (geocentric) view of the cosmos that places a motionless earth at the center of the universe and all "heavenly bodies" travel around the earth. This was the prevailing understanding of the universe prior to the 16th century when Copernicus helped explain and popularize a sun-centered (heliocentric) view of the universe. Tellingly, the sun's orbit is always mentioned in the context of night and day.

Unquoting the lunatics:

That identical sweeping presumption and misjudgment as trashed in brother TS's post.   According to Answering-Islam's combative creativity if there's no mention of earth's orbit, it's to be taken for granted that the Quran says "earth is flat." 

Movement of the earth is definitely mentioned in the Quran.   

"And He it is Who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. They float, each in an orbit." (21:33).   Very similar to Verse 36:40 under discussion here. 

"night and the day" is the movement of the earth.  Presence of the sun and the moon are mentioned separately.  And then, the Quran mentions that "each" float in an orbit.  Earth, sun and moon, each have their own paths.  The vital reminder here is that when you connect the specific information of Verse 21:33 or 36:40, how marvelously does it tally with the astronomical perception of today?  As I see it, it conforms just perfectly with no two ways about it.

Whatever facts have already been stated in regard to the universe viz. movement of the sun, orbiting of the moon, rotation of earth, are enough for anyone with half a brain to realize the Quran does not accept the earth to be flat.  Thus, the Quran contains nothing that would give even an inkling to a reader to suggest that the world might be flat.

With NO warrant that the earth is flat, the Noble Quran connects the brightness and darkness in the atmosphere with the appearance and disappearance of the sun (in connection with the earth) which would make any intelligent person curious in the middle-ages and research later unveiled the hidden information meant to be affixed to the earlier Quranic information, that is, rotation of the earth as the cause of day and night.   

Just because the Quran does not spell out the shape of the earth by spoon feeding dumb wits, those dummies conclude that the Quran thinks the earth is flat even though the Quran never even remotely hints on a flat earth.   

The Quran is NOT a Book of science nor physics nor history etc.  It's a Book of Guidance.  God Almighty mentions whatever brief extracts of selected factual information He deems right and helpful for humankind to understand various portions of His Final Message.   For this reason God constantly tells us to reflect over his Revelations so that whenever humans take the extra step of seeking knowledge through science or any other source, they are able to connect all the pieces together.  But Christians, Jews, pagans and atheists have always been very lazy, wanting to be spoon fed like invalids.  Man-written Hadith has unfortunately borrowed the same culture.  They just don't want to make efforts and reflect, and henceforth they bring the concept of "blind faith."  But there is no 'blind faith' in the Quran.  Faith must be investigated so God Almighty constantly emphasizes on pondering and reflecting on every bit of Quranic content, and the practical research of humankind only compliments those Quranic contents. 

The Quran is not meant for combative name-droppers 'blessed' with petty minds loaded with limitations.  No spoon feeding for intellectual midgets.   If you're interested in grasping the Truth, you are expected to retrospect, then introspect and then ruminate, deliberate and consider with the coolness and humility required while pondering over HIS Words.
