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.

BismEm

 salamem  everyone


There is a non-Muslim named Bedi Murat Karatas, no idea who this person is, who thinks that Verses 40:11, 56:60 and 71:17 of the Noble Quran refer to "reincarnation."   This person is either a sikh or a hindu or a buddhist whose prime purpose is to nit pick specific Quranic Verses and intentionally misinterpret them on lines of the kuffar faith.  As with all kuffar, this profoundly ignorant person has no idea of Monotheistic values (Tawheed) and its confirmation of the Hereafter, the Ultimate Truth.  And like all such kuffar, this person has also avoided reading the Quran in its entirety or has purposely steered away from Verses which he isn't able to twist  to suit his agenda.

Please know, there is NO such thing as "reincarnation" in the Noble Quran.  Let me correctly explain those three Verses which this kaffir is trying to distort with absolutely wrong ideas.  As the world must know, reincarnation is a fallacious philosophical concept popular among  polytheists claiming that  biological death of a living being gives a new and different physical life to that living being and consequently that living being emerges in the world as a different creature.  The stupidity goes as far as human beings turned into animals in "second life."

Let me give the correct interpretation of the 3 Quranic Verses which kaffir Bedi Murat Karatas is trying to distort.


Verse 40:11
"They say: Our Rab! Twice have You made us die, and twice have You made us live. Now we confess our sins. Is there any way to go out ?"

The two deaths refer to the time before birth and after earthly death prior to Resurrection.  Living twice refers to the earthly mortal life and the immortal life of the Hereafter after Resurrection.   Absolutely NO concept of "reincarnation."  Moreover, Verse 40:11 speaks of the confession of disbelievers and sinners on the Day of Judgment after Resurrection, and how they will try to plead with The Almighty.


Verse 56:60-61

First of all, this man quoted this as "50:60."  He couldn't even mention the correct Verse number.  Chapter 50 is Surah Qaf.  It has 45 Verses in total.  How did he get 60?  Perhaps he doesn't  know how what the Surah numbers and Verse numbers indicate.  This Verse belongs to Surah Al-Waqiah which is the 56th Chapter of the Noble Quran with a total of 96 Verses.    Let me post at least three standard translations of Verses 56:60-61 as follows:

"We ordained death to be among you. Nothing could stop Us if We intended to change you and recreate you in a way unknown to you."  56:60-61 Translation Abdel Haleem.

"We mete out death among you, and We are not to be outrun, That We may transfigure you and make you what ye know not."    56:60-61 Translation Pickthall.

"We have decreed death to you all, and We are not unable, To transfigure you and create you in (forms) that you know not."  56:60-61 Translation Mohsin Khan.


Allah confirms that He has ordained death for everyone, and nothing is impossible for Him to do or achieve.  He has the ability to change a person's outward appearance on the Day of Resurrection to something very different.  For example a person who was ugly in earthly world might get a complete face lift (much better than any earthly plastic surgeons can ever perform) and appear good looking, as a reward if they were believing and righteous on earth.  Similarly disbelieving or unethical person who used to be admired for their charm on earth can have their appearances changed, looking unappealing or even hideous.  Allah does not say that all of this will surely happen.  But He refers that such a task is not impossible for him to perform as He is the All-Powerful and nothing is unattainable for Him.  This Quranic fact is linked with the Quranic assertion of "Kun Faya Kun" or "Be, and it is." (2:117 Surah Al-Baqrah) highlighting the infinite power of Allah .. do not limit The Limitless.

"The Originator of the heavens and the earth! When He decrees a thing, He says unto it only: Be! and it is."  (2:117)  Translation Pickthall.

"The Creator of the heavens and the earth; and when He decrees a thing, He but says to it 'Be,' and it is."  (2:117)  Translation Arberry.


Furthermore, if Allah decides to change someone's outer or inner traits on the Day of Judgment, that person will still remain the same individual with the same soul.  The message which The Almighty conveys in Verses 56:60-61 is a challenge, confirming that He is able to do all things.  Moreover, it refers strictly to the Hereafter.  Even if Allah decides to implement changes in someone, it will be on Judgment Day with NO possibility of returning to earth because the span of earthly life will be over.  Verse 56:60 confirms death for all;  and the stage of existence which Allah Almighty refers in Verse 56:61 is the Hereafter .. and Hereafter comes after the Final Judgement when earth is no more.

Most importantly, Allah Almighty has categorically stated in the Noble Quran that death after  earthly life is FINAL and there is absolutely NO coming back to earth again.

"Until, when death comes unto one of them, he says: My Rab! Send me back,  That I may do right in that which I have left behind! But nay! It is but a word that he speaks; and behind them is a barrier until the day when they are raised."  23:99-100  Translation Pickthall.

"Until, when death comes to one of them, he says, "My Rab, send me back That I might do righteousness in that which I left behind." No! It is only a word he is saying; and behind them is a barrier until the Day they are resurrected."  23:99-100  Translation Sahih International.



Do NOT confuse Resurrection (the truth) with "reincarnation" (the lie):

On the Day of Judgment when Allah Almighty will raise everyone without exception, all will be recreated back to life and each one will be responsible and answerable only for their own soul and subsequently for their own conduct as well as their intentions.  It will be the start of the real life - life of the Hereafter.  If Allah wills, He can make disbelievers and sinners look unsightly, sinister or base which may look very different from what many of them had been on earth.  And if He wills, He can make the righteous believers look more radiant, blissful and noble than they did on earth.  This is called Resurrection which is the final Truth.   Do NOT mix it up with "reincarnation"  which is a false, groundless and misguided idea.


Verses 56:61 explained by Syed Abu Alaa Maududi very explicitly and in greater detail:
 
"Just as Allah was not powerless to create humans in their present form and appearance, so also He is not powerless to change the method of their creation and bring them into being in another form and shape with another set of qualities and characteristics.  To know what this means, let me explain.  Today the method which Allah has adopted for your creation is that conception takes place through the sperm and then the person is gradually formed and developed in their mother's womb, and then they are brought out as an infant. This method of creation has been devised by Allah. But this is not the only method known to Him.  He can devise other methods too.  On the Day of Resurrection Allah can create you of the same age at which you died.  In earthly life Allah has set a particular measure for your sight, hearing and other faculties. But don't think that Allah doesn't have the power to change the characteristics these faculties.  He surely does have the power to do that.  On the Day of Resurrection He can change it, in that, you might be be able to see and hear things which you could not see or hear on earth.  In earthly life your skin, your limbs and your eyes do not possess the power of speech. But on the Day of Resurrection, parts of your body will speak and testify by the Command of Allah. In earthly life, humans have a certain life span and then they die.  Living and dying of all living beings is also controlled by Law ordained by Allah.  If Allah wants, He can ordain some other law to control your life under which you may never die.  On earth you can endure punishment only to a certain extent:  This rule too has been made by Allah, and He can make some other rule according to which you will be able to suffer much harsher punishments endlessly without dying.  On earth, youth changes to old age according to the biological laws established by Allah.  So, you cannot imagine that an old person returning to youth.  But Allah can construct some other law for humanity under which every old person can become young as soon as they enter Paradise and stay young and healthy eternally."

The above paragraph by Syed Abu Alaa Maududi elucidates a fine commentary on Verse 56:61 on the message Allah Almighty conveys  that He can transfigure you and make you into something you know not. 

As anyone can assess and determine from all of the above clarifications, how different the real meaning is from the distortions of the kuffar by falsely connecting this Verse with the fiction of "reincarnation".


Verse 71:17
"And Allah hath caused you to grow as a growth from the earth, And afterward He makes you return thereto, and He will bring you forth again, a (new) forthbringing."

The Verse quoted above is another wonderful and thought-provoking expression of an important fact in the Noble Quran.   Needless to say, this Verse has NOTHING to do with "reincarnation" or anything of that sort.  Here is what the Verse means:   As ordained by Allah, the course of human life basically has the same trend and the similar path of growth as plants.   Allah Almighty created the human body with clay, and finally after completing its course of earthly life, this body again mingles with clay (or earth).  This aspect has been very simply and articulately stated in Verse 71:17-18 which is ever so inspiring.  It brings to mind yet again, the very temporary nature of human life despite human ambitions and pride at making life as complicated as they have.  Yet, none can alter the ultimate destiny and reality of the physical human body as decreed by the Divine Power - and that final destiny is .. back to earth until raised again on the Day of Judgment.

The term "forthbringing" or "bringing forth" the original Arabic of which is "ikhrajan" refers to the final Resurrection on the Day of Judgment, NOT that erroneous idea of "reincarnation" coming back to earth as another creature.


Finally also let me mention, the Noble Quran has made it ample clear that there is NO such concept as two bodies sharing the same soul.  Many polytheists carry this utterly false and illogical notion which belongs to the garbage.

"And no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another .... And whoever purifies himself only purifies himself for [the benefit of] his soul. And to Allah is the [final] destination."  (35:18) Noble Quran. Translation Sahih International.
 
"And guard yourselves against a day when no soul will in aught avail another, …"   (2:48) Noble Quran.  Translation Mohammed Marmaduke Pickthall.



Furthermore, Islam which means total submission to Allah alone (that is, Tawheed or Monotheism) is the ONLY Truth and thus it is the ONLY real Religion and the only CORRECT concept.  Anything else is a corruption and NOT accepted by The Almighty, The One and Only.

"And whoever desires other than Islam as religion - never will it be accepted from him, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers."  (3:85)   Translation Pickthall.

Walaikum As-salaam dear brother TS.  I just finished reading this.  May Allah Almighty bless you for this dynamic evaluation of the topic and thus exposing the kuffar's misguided distortions of the Noble Quran without a doubt.  I find this fraud about reincaration and sharing of soul absolutely detestable and irritating.  Makes me feel sick!  It's particularly disgusting when the kuffar, with zero knowledge and ulterior motives, try to tamper with Quranic interpretations. 

Thanks again br. TS.  Allah bless.

Good work me brother!  Honestly I too find these knowledge-less meddlers much too irritating.  When folks don't know what they're talking, the easiest way out is to shut up.   Your emphasis on not mixing up Resurrection with reincarnation is a vital clarification and reminder.  I am also sure that many such mix-ups by the kuffar is done intentionally even though they know the difference. 

In Verses 40:11, 56:60-61 and 71:17 Allah The Greatest highlights His power of performing limitless miracles.  Indeed the Hereafter will be a different world, a permanent world where the believers with pure intentions and clean conduct will acquire (by His permission) whatever they missed out in this unjust world; and indeed if you're a sincere believer with a clean heart & mind, you will end up suffering a great deal in this world.   One would need to be a thundering moron to misconstrue this aspect as "reincarnation."

As everyone knows, Monotheism (Tawheed) is the real Truth established by The Almighty since the earliest time, and polytheism is its corruption by the human mind.   Allah Almighty has confirmed in the Quran that He sent warners (Prophets) to all nations.

"And We certainly sent into every nation a messenger, (saying), "Worship Allah and avoid shaitan.""  16:36.

"and there is not a nation but a warner has passed among them."  35:24.


He has also stated in the Quran that he has informed us about some of the Prophets He sent, not all.  The Noble Quran contains the names of 26 Prophets. 

"Verily We sent messengers before you, among them those of whom We have told you, and some of whom We have not told you;"  40:78.

"And messengers We have mentioned unto you before and messengers We have not mentioned unto you;"   4:164.


It's very possible that in ancient times, maybe 10,000 years ago (or more or less) Allah may have sent some Prophet or Prophets in that region today known as India, Burma, Thailand, China and Japan, which is presently immersed in kuffari where they harbor and also try to peddle the nonsense of "reincarnation."  It's likely that the Messenger or Messengers of Allah sent to these regions some time in the distant past explained to them the Message of Tawheed (Monotheism), the vital need of total surrender to Allah alone and the facts about the Day of Resurrection and the Day of Judgement.  But gradually the people went back to polytheism by corrupting the truth of Resurrection and distorting it to the falsehood of reincarnation.   It's these wily acts of traditional mischiefs sprouting in the human mind that replace truth with fiction for the destruction of the human soul.

Wa'Salam folks. 
Br. TS,   Sis Ruhi,  love what you guys stated. 

This kaffir is indeed very, very dumb. 

In a nutshell, it all refers to "Kun Faya Kun."   A lot will happen in the Hereafter; good things to the good and bad things to the bad, things that we can hardly imagine now.   Allah describes his miracles.  Dwellers of Hellfire will be able to bear far greater punishments for they'll have to cope with a very tough challenge, absolutely insurmountable, and yet not die.  Skin will testify, vision might get more piercing etc.  Similarly for dwellers of Paradise, no fatigue, no exhaustion, no sweat, no toil, no ill health, food and beautiful clothing in plenty and much more.  The enormous peace of mind in Paradise will make people feel and look completely different.  All aspects will amalgamate to place both the righteous and the unrighteous in very different situations compared to their earthly lives.  This entire aspect is elucidated throughout the Quran which one is able to grasp as one reads it.  But people like this kaffir have hardly read anything of the Quran except few selected Verses for the purpose of misinterpreting.

The words of Allah Almighty are very explicit, Alhumdulilah.

"Every soul is a pledge for its own deeds;"  74:38  Al-Muddasir.


Let that sink in to the minds of the ignorant.  Even now if they don't understand, then when?
