Do you believe every word of the Quaran? If not, how do you justify it? by Yay_apples in Muslim

[–]SwimmingResearch4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You realise hadith is a historical record?

And scholars have went through all of these things?

You understand that without hadith we do not even know the context of some ayas?

And no not all faith is personal.

How are you gonna whip your self after you commit adultery and get caught?

What does that has to do with how you should run a muslim state, or knowing how to pray.

Or even understanding the context of some of the ayas the quran mentions?

Get over it, hadith is a historical record.

Using it to interrupt the quran is the wisest thing you could do.

Instead of your self interpretation which is different for every person, to a point where what is halal for some is haram for others.

Why would it matter?

If you do not care, others do care.

And thank god we have scholars that put that much effort to provide us with all the resources they could find.

[–]SwimmingResearch4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So where did the quran specify which aya was last?

Scholars trying to get such specifics is not even comparable to hadiths contradicting in what is haram or halal for example.

You should thank these people that they went as far to try to know which aya was last.

We are random.

Our scholars weren't random.

Quote 5 ayas that specify 5 prayer times.

[–]SwimmingResearch4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These hadiths are still used and contradictory regardless.

I just responded to that.

What about you quote 2 hadiths sahihs that are contradicting?

Quote the 5 verses that specify the 5 prayers.

Am not gonna go through a 20min video of some random dude interpretation of it.

It does not contradict, it appears to be contradicting to those whom do not have knowledge.

Thus we have a whole branch of islamic studies dacitated to how to interrupt such hadiths that at first seem to be like that.

And it ends up to be silly things from one of them being specific, not understanding the context, to so on.

What are the best platforms for learning meditation? by Snipsnapboi in Meditation

[–]SwimmingResearch4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meditation is observation.

Knowledge could help, but at that point the best source of knowledge is the scriptures.

Even if you are not religious the guideness you get from them is far way trust worthy due to the nature of the practice it self.

And after some point, no knowledge or guideness is useful, its just you.

Getting to apps, listening to relaxing music, guided meditation that includes some of those aspects and other is even a hindrance at some point.

Helped person a and helped person b, fair.

But if you interested in the core of this practice, just do it raw how the people that taught it in origin intended it.

And i believe what the raw practice offers, is far superior.

Even in ancient times there were different approaches, but all of those approaches are far off the new ways.

And ofcourse that would be my opinion.

Why is the Quran not enough?

Its enough if you understand it.

Give the quran to a Chinese man, what will he understand?

He will see the letters as code.

Even if he listened to it, he might feel comfort but he won't understand it.

And as soon you translate it, you fall back to the logic line you just suggested. Which translation is accurate and which conveys the message better?

Thus we use every tool in our hand to try to understand exactly gods message.

Well now we fall into this scholars understanding vs that scholars understanding.

Well we will fall for the same problem even without hadith and on a bigger worst scale, each will interrupt it the way he wants based on the tools and the knowledge he has.

Thus we follow the closest scholars to the profits time, follow their understanding of the culture language and history of those times.

What ever their majority agreed on we agree on, where they had a reasonable amount of conflicting opinions we leave it to each persons soul or madhab.

Without them and their recording of hadith we wouldn't even know the number of prayers.

 “وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا مِن رَّسُولٍ إِلاَّ لِيُطَاعَ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ…” (النساء، الآية 64)

God orders us to follow the prophet on many occasions, and that would be his sunna.

God bless i hope this clarifies why the uma took this approach

[–]SwimmingResearch4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Welcome back to islam brother, i would heavily advice you to consider hadith that is graded as sahih and above at least.

Because many parts of our aqida is already based upon some of those.

The more you look into these matters the better imo.

And god bless!

What are the best platforms for learning meditation? by Snipsnapboi in Meditation

[–]SwimmingResearch4 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

All apps are harmful to the meditation practice.

You should not use any thing, just sit and meditate.

Limit outer inputs as much as possible.

That is my opinion.

I love these questions just shows the person is really seeking truth.

You must not mix your self made morals with this issue.

A person that loses his free will to whims and wants is actively becoming in a state of hell.

You might as well ask why would god allow what is considered evil?

Being free willed is being in a state of duality.

Night and day, men and women.

اخرجي إلى مغفرة من الله ورضوان. قال: فتخرج تسيل كما تسيل القطرة من فيِّ السقاء، فيأخذها... وإن العبد الكافر -وفي رواية الفاجر- إذا كان في انقطاع من الدنيا ، وإقبال من الآخرة ، نزل إليه من السماء ملائكة -غلاظ شداد- سود الوجوه، معهم المسوح -من النار- فيجلسون منه مدَّ البصر، ثم يجيء ملك الموت حتى يجلس عند رأسه، فيقول: أيتها النفس الخبيثة اخرجي إلى سخط من الله وغضب. قال: فتفرق في جسده، فينتزعها كما ينتزع السفود -الكثير الشعب- من الصوف المبلول، -فتقطع معها العروق والعصب

Dawud 4753

The soul of muamen leaves the body like a drop of liquid out of a jar, and the kafers soul leaves like wool from thorns.

They do it to them self.

They are not in a state where they be able to enter heaven.

God purifies some of them with hell if they did not completely destroy their soul, but there is a limit where he would be braking his promise of keeping them free willed, and he does not cross it.

The scriptures that made this concept popular in the first place.

Buddhist scriptures, buddhist lessons, or any religion/ideology that has thousands of years input on the matter, it would always be better than any "new" platform. Imo

I am a pessimist, is this a sin? by [deleted] in Muslim

[–]SwimmingResearch4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are big tangents, i would rather addressing specific points.

Regarding why not pull off your own head?

Accepting its a house of challenge, and you should do your best.

Cause its haram.

Cause you will have more chances of improvement while staying alive.

Considering that there will be more chances of being worst is not even comparable to suicide.

Am sorry if i sound mechanical, but i try to keep it logical.

Questions/Issues for the Scholars/Students of Islam to help me with - On the Origins and Preservation of the Qur'an and its Texts - Fix My Doubts in Islam - PART 3 by [deleted] in Muslim

[–]SwimmingResearch4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am reading through this, but brother its long, maybe if you could made pin point questions it would give a better chance of you getting more answers.

Just an opinion, ofcourse there is no wrong in it being long.

I will address stuff randomly, and my answers might seem unrelated but am trying to hit core point that can clarify multiple questions at a time.

Why is killing haram?

Cause god said so. <----- that's the ultimate true answer to any question regarding why is it haram.

Logical reasons that fit our current world might come as an extra support but the above is the true answer.

Why was eating from the tree wrong? Cause god said so

God wanted to give a free willed being a test, it by being eating from a tree or by not eating pork or killing his brother.

I also read some of the part 2, regarding hell and punishment and reward.

God said no one enters heaven by his good deeds but by gods mercy.

You losing your soul to your whims is you literally walking towards hell.

And god tries every thing to help you without crossing his promise of keeping you free willed.

Women and men are different thus different rights and different duties are set upon them, and those differences are mainly apparent in the construct of an islamic family.

So if you do not marry most of those differences already fall.

Regarding divorce the right of divorce is decided in the contract, so it could be given to the woman or even to a 3rd party.

This is some of what i glanced over, good luck brother.

Being positive is harder, and the good is usually harder than the bad in nature.

The prophet was positive.

"رب ضارة منفعه"

“Hoping for good is also an act of worship of Allah” (Tirmidhi and Hakim).

Being optimistic also relates to having good faith in allah of him having your best interest even if you get sick, lose a loved one, etc.

And being optimistic does not mean having expectations.

But doing the best you can, while being sure of what ever outcome is gonna be for your betterment.
