The same happened more that 1400 years ago when a group of disbelievers asked: who is Allah? Is he made of gold or silver? Who inherit him? Allah revealed that He is the one; He has no son or partner. He neither begot, nor was begotten. He does not have an opposite, an equal or any co-equal who would compete with Him about dominion and sovereignty. by Vikram kuamr  [ 2008-09-03 ] People search can be very exciting, especially, when you see your own face and with it other faces, and your friends. by Vikram kuamr  [ 2008-09-03 ] Most HRD have discovered the power of search people via different search engines, from spokeo, avg and yahoo and google! by Vikram kuamr  [ 2008-09-03 ] You have across a person via the net, and after which never heard from him again. by Vikram kuamr  [ 2008-09-03 ] There are several techniques on how you can search people with a flick of a finger; spokeo is a site, which you can trust to help you find whom you are looking for. by Safaa Abdel-Aziz  [ 2008-08-28 ] Many people do not know Allah.

Say O Muhammad: O mankind! If you are in doubt of my religion, then know that I worship Allah who takes away your souls and brings you back to life after He makes you die. by Pamela Ravenwood  [ 2008-05-13 ] Every country or ethnicity has its own traditions. Traditions are especially important when it comes to life events such as weddings.
by Safaa Abdel-Aziz  [ 2008-05-12 ] In verses 61:1-3 of the Noble Quran, Allah asks the believers this question: why do you say that which you do not do? It is greatly hateful in the sight of Allah that you say that which you do not do; or you speak of doing that which you cannot do. Verily, all that is in the heavens and earth exalt and glorify Allah. He is the almighty, the wise. The verses indicate that there are wise creatures in the heavens! by Safaa Abdel-Aziz  [ 2008-05-10 ] In verses 9:126-129 of the Noble Quran, Allah asks mankind this question: do they not see that they are tried every year once or twice?

Again, a verse like that may encourage the racial discrimination.
On the other hand, the Quran does not favor any nation over the other and also does not favor any people over the other; it says clearly that the noblest of you in the sight of God is the most God-fearing among you.

Why should Allah punish you if you are thankful for His mercies? Verily, the hypocrites will be in the lowest deep place of the Fire because of their evil save those who repent, of hypocrisy, and make amends, in their deeds, and hold fast to their belief in Allah's divine Oneness inwardly. by Dr. Ibrahim Khalil  [ 2008-04-04 ] The Old Testament Verses from 1-10 are talking about Joseph said unto his brethren, I am your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.

Then, the Angels will reply!
by Safaa Abdel-Aziz  [ 2008-03-27 ] In verses 16:33-34 of the Noble Quran, Allah is asking mankind this question: Are the disbelievers looking for the angels to come?

by Dr. Ibrahim Khalil  [ 2008-03-21 ] Was Jether an Ishmaelite or an Israelite in the Bible? He was an Ishmaelite. No, He was an Israelite. Actually, he was an Ishmaelite from the family of Ishmael. This is another example that illustrates the effort done by both the Biblical writers and the Biblical translators to hide Ishmael and the Ishmaelite and their prophecies.
According to the Quran, it is a big sin if anyone hides the honors of a Prophet (Ishmael was both Messenger and Prophet).
by Safaa Abdel-Aziz  [ 2008-03-21 ] In verses 55:60-61 of the Noble Quran, Allah asking mankind this question: shall the recompense of goodness be anything other than goodness? Then which of the favors of your lord will you deny? Which favors of your lord will you belie? If you count the favors of Allah, you could not number them. Indeed, Allah is forgiving and the most merciful. by Dr. Ibrahim Khalil  [ 2008-03-20 ] In Genesis 36:2-4, Esau, the son of Isaac took his wives from the women of Canaan. One of his wives, Basmath, was the daughter of Ishmael
But in Genesis 26:34, Basmath is the daughter of Elon the Hittite (a Biblical nick-name for Ishmael to hide him). So, Was Ishmael Semite or Hittite or Canaanite?
According to the Quran, it is a big sin if anyone hides the honors of a Prophet.
by Safaa Abdel-Aziz  [ 2008-03-19 ] In verses 4:80-82 of the Noble Quran, Allah asking mankind this question: Will they not then ponder on the Quran and the marvelous truths contained in it? Do they not reflect on the Quran that its different parts are harmonious and support each other and if it had been from other than God surely they would have found therein much inconsistency, much contradiction in meaning and irregularity in arrangement? by Safaa Abdel-Aziz  [ 2008-03-19 ] In Verses 54:17, 54:22, 54:32 and 54:40 of the Noble Quran Allah says that He has made the Quran easy to 1) read, 2) write, 3) understand, 4) remember, 5) recite etc. Many thousands of kids can recite the entire Quran by heart. None of God’s scriptures is memorized by heart other than the Quran. So is there anyone who remembers? Is there anyone who will be admonished by it and memorize it? Is there any that seeks wisdom and knowledge and hence be helped to acquire that? by Dr. Ibrahim Khalil  [ 2008-03-18 ] Nine different versions of the Bible are intentionally dishonoring Ishmael by mistranslating the word face to stirring up, trouble, attack, odds, hostility etc. The translators are not so ignorant to mistranslate a word like face to these unrelated meanings; but the thing is that they did their best to dishonor Ishmael.
According to the Noble Quran, Ishmael was a Prophet; anyone does believe in anything which dishonors any Prophet will end up in the Eternal Hell in the Hereafter.
by Safaa Abdel-Aziz  [ 2008-03-18 ] In verses 6:31-34 of the Noble Quran, Allah say: they are lost indeed, those who belied the Day of Judgment; when the hour overtakes them suddenly, they will say: alas, for us, that we neglected it; the life of this world is but playing and an amusement. Surely, the everlasting home is better for those who keep their duty to Allah, the cautious, those who guard against evil. Then Allah asks the disbelievers: "will you not then understand?" by Safaa Abdel-Aziz  [ 2008-03-17 ] In verses 27:89-90 of the Noble Quran, Allah will ask the evil-doers this question in the Hereafter:
And whoever brings evil deeds, their faces will be thrown headlong into the fire; It shall be said to them in reproach: "do ye receive a reward other than that which you have earned by your deeds?"
by Dr. Ibrahim Khalil  [ 2008-03-16 ] The Bible is very confusing about the title of Ishmael. In Genesis 16:12, the Bible (in 19 different versions) says that Ishmael is a wild donkey (ass). Oops! No he is like a wild donkey (ass). Oh Sorry! He is a bucking bronco. Nope! Actually, he is a wild man!
On the other hand, the title of Ishmael in the Noble Quran states is that He is a Messenger and a Prophet. Only one of these two titles of Ishmael is truthful and will lead you to the Paradise and the vice versa!
by Safaa Abdel-Aziz  [ 2008-03-15 ] In verses 34:31-34 of the Noble Quran, Allah is asking mankind this question: Are they requited on the Day of Judgment aught save what they used to do in the life of this world? The disbelievers will be brought up to stand before their Lord, restrained on the Day of Judgment, bandying arguments against one another.
Allah did not send a Messenger to the inhabitants of any township without its leaders saying, ‘Indeed we disbelieve in that Message with which you have been sent’
