The will of God in the bible and in islam

Allah is also the most merciful!

He gives each of us abundant oppourtunity for personal growth and developement.

The foundations which are how to live a life in Islam is a life of personal Jihad with these key components which are found as a basis for all religions; these components are Education, Counseling, Consultation and Prayer with Living Prayers like guiding someone to training so they may feed their family or funding the training.  As well there are the components of giving in charity and making Hajj (Pilgrimage) though I believe there are levels of Hajj which are important also like making a pilgrimage to ones Self, ones Family, ones Friends, ones Community, ones Nation, Ones World and to other places of Spiritual Significance which could be any place you may make Mention of Allah and Glorify him. 

I believe it is true we should be servants of Allah and do His Bidding which is not to be confused with that of Mankind.

Also I caution anyone ready to pass judgement on another for the way they live their lives.

Though of course some things are unacceptable.

I find great hope in the World and the People and I believe we can rise above our animal nature and dignify the creation of our species with knowledgeable, educated, trained and counseled cooperation and consultation to solve all the Worlds problems great and small together as One People, One Spirit.

We have little time to waste as the natural world is faltering as I speak and sharing from the bounty Allah has given us may offer a chance to build bridges and open lines of communications so that there is no one who fears anyone except Allah, which is the way it should be.

May Allah Bless us all.

 my opinion of the war in Iraq, is that all that matters to you? If what you hear and see on the news makes you afraid or fear already became anger, then i suggest to you get yourself out of the equation, i mean take yourself out of the situation, leave the trial and stop reacting to it, the sad thing with muslims nowadays is that since the TV and internet came into their lives they became more and more septable, they react to things instead of living right and making others react to them. The only thing it does is make people fired up, and it would be a shame if you get so fired up that you would put yourself in a bad situation and maybe even get yourself killed fighting against that which you have been made to believe by the media, just because you got so angry because of the information you CHOSE to follow. Remember the verse when Moses stood before the sourcerers of the Pharao, 7:116 Said Moses: "Throw ye (first)." So when they threw, they bewitched the eyes of the people, and struck terror into them: and they came with a great (feat of) magic. We inspired to Moses: "Throw (now) thy rod":and behold! it swallows up straight away all the falsehoods which they fake! Thus truth was confirmed, and all that they did was made of no effect. Chapter 7 al a'raaf the high places.

If those people did not look, their eyes would not have been bewitched and they would not have become so afraid. The lesson i discovered in this verse was right after sept.11 when in the west people were made very affraid by what they saw, and they started looking at muslims differently and acting differently towards them, and unfortunatly muslims watched the news too, so they got affraid too because of the implication the news had on the society, and they started reacting too, sometimes angerly and this was seen as a confirmation to what people were seeing about muslims on the news. Eventually it caused people not even talking to muslims anymore, thinking they already know them. This whole situation would have been different if muslims did not watch TV and the news, because their faces would not change the next day because of the news (no anger) because they would not know it, and people would have acted differently because of the muslims not reacting, you would hear muslims say (hey what's going on with you what happened?) a whole different talk would evolve. Basically muslims should not fear anything or anyone except Allah, fearing something or someone else then Him leads to injustice. And the TV news and other sources....what's the point of watching it? if something is really important, Allah will cause it to reach you. Or do you really think that if you do not watch the news anymore something might sneak up on you? Allah is the best protector and He is over everything powerful, so fear Him alone because in faith in Him is the only safety.

> my opinion of the war in Iraq, is that all that matters to you?

No, not really.

I laugh at your claim that you hold some �opinion� on Iraq invasion or occupation. You just follow the Neo-Con script and with an absolutely lame apology.

I just have utter disgust for the way you weave Koranic Ayaat into your shameless pathetic explanations and justifications and the way you ask us to take it all lying down. The way you mask your real identity behind a page from the Koran.

That's all. 

Why should I be afraid when the Freedom Fighters hold an upper hand against your pathetic criminal military, both, in Afghanistan and Iraq.

You should be afraid because you won�t be able to recruit any Muslims for the U S military and for the loss of all those dollars in commissions.

Could you please show me an ayat that says "just lie down on the floor and wait for the orders from Pentagon on how to behave and conduct yourself". When invaded just don't fire back if its the Americans or the Israelis!!

Ask Joyia what Pathaans do to the likes of you.

You say Imperialism but it is not, They went there and got rid of Saddam and his system of rule, which was opressive, and let the Iraqi's choose their leaders, the "Freedom? Fighters" as you call them, fight for Saddam's old opressive Baath party, or some other opressive view, they tried to bomb the people into not voting, their own people, the fact that you chose the word freedom fighters for these brutes shows that you do not understand the situation, or what freedom of choice means, you fell for some socialistic or anarchistic propaganda, probebly because you have that alot in....Spain.
