In Indian philosophy Guru is compared with God. September 5 is celebrated as Teachers' day in India. This article brings out the contrast between a Guru and a Teacher. by Safaa Abdel-Aziz  [ 2008-08-28 ] Many people do not know Allah. This series is an attempt to introduce to help them.
Allah, to who belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth, as possessions, creatures and servants. And "Woe" is to the disbelievers from a terrible chastisement. It is said that "Woe" here refers to the hottest, narrowest and deepest valley in hell.
by Stacey T Pollock [ 2008-06-01 ] A personal percepton of creation theory. by Roslyn Randle [ 2008-05-14 ] As society becomes more spiritually and environmentally conscious, there is a profound understanding that money is a seed and in many ways we are responsible for where we plant our seeds. It is only wise to search for options that reinforce and support conscious beliefs and lifestyles. by Safaa Abdel-Aziz  [ 2008-05-13 ] In verses 10:101-104 of the Noble Quran, Allah ask the disbelievers: Behold what is in the heavens: and what is in the earth; What do they await or expect, when they deny you O Muhammad save the like of the punishment of those who passed away (before them) among the disbelievers. 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 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?
It is noticeable that mankind anywhere and everywhere is tested at least once a year with drought, disaster, catastrophe, misfortune and/or diseases.
However, still they do not repent of their disbelief nor do they remember or do they heed admonition.
by Dr. Ibrahim Khalil  [ 2008-05-09 ] In the Bible, the Lord says in Isaiah 44:2:" Jeshurun, whom I have chosen." In Deuteronomy 32:15, You read that Jeshurun grew fat and kicked; filled with food, forsook God and lightly esteemed the Rock of salvation.
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.
by Safaa Abdel-Aziz  [ 2008-05-08 ] In verses 9:75-78 of the Noble Quran, Allah asking mankind this question: Do not they know that Allah knows their secret, what they conceal within themselves, and their confidential talks? Allah knows all the unseen things. Also, the verses describes the hypocrites which turn away from their promise and from obedience to God in aversion and become niggardly with their money by Dr. Ibrahim Khalil  [ 2008-05-08 ] The Bible, the Lord says in Isaiah 19:25: "Blessed is Egypt My people"
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.

The Last verse in chapter (45) of the Noble Quran talks about Allah, to Him be glory throughout the heavens and the earth: and He is exalted in power, full of wisdom.
by Safaa Abdel-Aziz  [ 2008-05-04 ] In verses 4:145-147 of the Noble Quran, Allah asking mankind this question: what can Allah gain with punishing you if you thank and believe? 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.
The New Testament Verses from 1-10 are talking about Luke began his book with the story of Zacharias the priest and his wife Elisabeth.
The Noble Quran Verses from 1-5 are talking about the Quran is the true book of Allah, so in what speech, after Allah and his signs, will they believe? There are many signs and lessons in the heavens and earth as well as in the Quran for those who understand and have faith.

The New Testament Verses from 1-10 are talking about Luke began his book with the story of Zacharias the priest and his wife Elisabeth.

by Safaa Abdel-Aziz  [ 2008-04-03 ] Whereof do they question one another? About what are the disbelievers questioning one another? About the great news which they are at variance, for the believers affirm it, while the disbelievers repudiate it. This was the first question of verses 1-5 of Chapter 78 of the Noble Quran. On the other hand, the first message of verses 78:1-5 is: indeed, they shall know! Again, indeed, they shall know! by Dr. Ibrahim Khalil  [ 2008-04-02 ] The Old Testament Verses from 1-10 are talking about Joseph said unto his brethren, I am brother, whom you sold into Egypt.
The New Testament Verses from 1-10 are talking about Luke began his book with the story of Zacharias the priest and his wife Elisabeth. (See: B: The second part)

The New Testament Verses from 1-10 are the first 10 verses of Luke one that talk about Zacharias the priest and his wife Elisabeth.

by Safaa Abdel-Aziz  [ 2008-03-31 ] In verses 2:139-141 of the Noble Quran, Allah is asking the Jews and the Christians these three questions:
1) Would you dispute with us about Allah, who is our lord and your lord?
2) Or do you say that Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the tribes, were Jews or Christians! Say: who knows better, you or Allah?
3) Who is more unjust than he who hides a testimony received from Allah? And Allah is not inattentive of what you do.
That nation has passed away. Theirs is what they earned and yours what you have earned.

by Dr. Ibrahim Khalil  [ 2008-03-30 ] The Old Testament Verses from 1-10 are talking about Joseph accused his brothers of thieving his cup.
The New Testament Verses from 1-10 are talking about Jesus appeared first to Mary Magdalene.
The Noble Quran Verses from 6-10 are talking about Sending messengers with scriptures to the people is a blessing from their Lord, the Creator of the heavens and the earth who gives life and brings death. However, the disbelievers pock fun at the coming of the Hour. And watch the great visible smoke.
by Safaa Abdel-Aziz  [ 2008-03-29 ] In Verses 25:17-20 of the Noble Quran, Allah is asking this question:
On the Day of Judgment, Allah will assemble those who worship besides Allah other than Him, such as men, Angels, jinn, idols etc. He will say to the angels as an example of those who were worshipped: Was it you who misled these servants from my obedience and commanded them to worship you or did they themselves wander from the way and worshipped you out of their own whims? 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?
The Angels will seize the spirits (souls) of the (dying) disbelievers and show them the Hell, their fate! The punishment for mocking the prophets was decreed and inflicted upon the Disbelievers.
by Safaa Abdel-Aziz  [ 2008-03-24 ] In verses 27:86- 88 of the Noble Quran, Allah asking mankind this question: In verses 27:86- 88 of the Noble Quran, Allah asking mankind this question: Do they not see that Allah has made the night that they may rest therein, and the day for sight so that they seek their livelihood?
Then the verses remind man with the Day when the Trumpet will be blown then everyone will come to Allah on the Day of Judgment abased and humbled.
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 verse 43:66-71 of the Noble Quran, Allah is asking mankind this question: are the disbelievers waiting for the Hour that is to say they are in fact awaiting nothing; but the Hour should come upon them all of a sudden while they perceive not? On the Day of Judgment, Friends in sin in this world, will be foes and will go to Hell while friends in faith in this world will keep their sincere friendship and will dwell in the Paradise forever. by Safaa Abdel-Aziz  [ 2008-03-15 ] In verse 43:66-71 of the Noble Quran, Allah is asking mankind this question: are the disbelievers waiting for the Hour that is to say they are in fact awaiting nothing; but the Hour should come upon them all of a sudden while they perceive not? On the Day of Judgment, Friends in sin in this world, will be foes and will go to Hell while friends in faith in this world will keep their sincere friendship and will dwell in the Paradise forever. 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’
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’
by Dr. Ibrahim Khalil  [ 2008-03-14 ] In Genesis 6:2, 4, the Bible declares that the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they married them; and they had children by them.
In the Noble Quran, Allah is the One; He begets not, nor is He begotten and none is like Him. The Quran forbids and condemns anyone who says or believes that the Lord has sons or son; and threatens him to dwell in the Eternal Fire in the Hereafter.
by Safaa Abdel-Aziz  [ 2008-03-13 ] Allah is asking mankind this question: Say: it is only revealed to me that your God is one, Allah; will you then submit? But if they turn back, say: I have given you warning in fairness; although I do not know whether nigh or far that which you are promised of chastisement is with respect to the Day of Resurrection that comprises this chastisement; only Allah knows it. by Dr. Ibrahim Khalil  [ 2008-03-12 ] Although the Bible dishonors King David; however, the Noble Quran honors him very much.
The priests dishonored King David in the Bible because he made Prophecies that the priests hated to hear.
In this article, King David went on pilgrimage to Paran, Mecca or Bacca wherein the Holy House of the Lord; therein he made a prophecy about Muhammad.
by Safaa Abdel-Aziz  [ 2008-03-12 ] Allah is asking mankind this question: is the Eternal Hell better or the garden of eternity which those who believe and guard against evil are promised? For them, that is a reward as well as a goal; it is their recompense and their arrival! Therein, they have all that they desire; it is for your Lord a promise that must be fulfilled. by Safaa Abdel-Aziz  [ 2008-03-11 ] In verses 10:37-39, Allah is asking mankind this question: do the disbelievers say: Muhammad has forged the Quran?
Then bring ONE Surah the like of a Surah of the Quran (that is about 15 Arabic words); and call upon whom you can to assist you, If you are truthful, about the Quran being an invention made by Muhammad.
However, they could not be able at all to compose or bring ONE Surah the like thereof, the like of a Surah of the Quran! This means that they were liars in their claim!
by Dr. Ibrahim Khalil  [ 2008-03-11 ] Although the Bible dishonors King David; however, the Noble Quran honors him very much.
The priests dishonored King David in the Bible because he made Prophecies about the Quran and Muhammad. Also they hated him because he dwelled in Paran, in the tents of Kedar, the son of Ishmael wherein there is the house of the Lord (in Mecca) which is Kadesh.
But where is Paran? The Bible makes its location very confusing; however, Paran is Mecca.
by Dr. Ibrahim Khalil  [ 2008-03-10 ] The priests wanted to dishonor King David because he dwelled in Paran, in the tents of Kedar, the son of Ishmael wherein there is the house of the Lord (in Mecca) which is Kadesh. In this article, we will see King David Prophecy about the Quran and Muhammad
This may be the cause why the Bible dishonors King David (adultery, woman, killing etc). However, the Noble Quran honors King David very much.
by Safaa Abdel-Aziz  [ 2008-03-10 ] In verses 10:35-36, Allah is asking mankind these three questions:
1) Is there of those whom you associate with God one that guides to the truth?
2) Is One Who guides to the truth, and this is God, more deserving of being followed, or one who does not guide unless he is guided? And 3) What is wrong with you, how do you judge?
Then Allah states that most of them follow nothing but conjecture; truly conjecture avails nothing against truth, when what is sought is knowledge.
by Safaa Abdel-Aziz  [ 2008-03-09 ] In verses 10:33-34, Allah asks mankind this question:
Is there of those whom you associate with your Lord one that can originate creation, then recreated it?
This is what we call today cycling and recycling of the creation e.g. of water, minerals, plants, fungi, microbes etc.
Allah produces creation then reproduces it, then brings it back to life on the Day of Judgment; wherein, the Word of your Lord is justified concerning those who disbelieve and will dwell in the Eternal Fire.
by Dr. Ibrahim Khalil  [ 2008-03-09 ] The priest willingly dishonored King David because he dwelled in Arabia, in the tents of Kedar, the son of Ishmael and he made prophecies about Muhammad (as you see in this article); they wrote in the Bible that King David Committed Adultery, Commanded to kill one of his best soldiers to hide his crime of adultery and to take his wife etc.
On the other hand, the Noble Quran honors King David very much; anyone who says that King David was sinful will dwell in the Eternal Fire.
by Safaa Abdel-Aziz  [ 2008-03-08 ] In verse 10:31, Allah is asking the disbelievers these five questions
Who provides for you from heaven and earth? Who owns the hearing and the sight? Who brings forth the living from the dead? Who brings forth the dead from the living? Who regulates and who directs the affairs?
Interestingly, the ignorant disbeliever Arabs answered all of these questions and said: Allah does all of that.
Allah then says: 'then, will you not be fearful? '
by Gouri Tripathi  [ 2008-03-08 ] The article explores the nature and shape of God on a scientific basis. God manifests in both infinite and finite dimensions. by Dr. Ibrahim Khalil  [ 2008-03-07 ] The Biblical writers claim that King David Committed Adultery and he was a sinful traitor. However, Psalm 38:12, 56:2and 5, 102:8 and 140:2 give an idea about those who wanted to Harm and Dishonor the Prophet King David and why they were intended to ruin his reputation in the Bible. Those evil people seek to hurt, harm and dishonor King David physically and morally.
On the other hand, the Noble Quran honors King David very much.
by Safaa Abdel-Aziz  [ 2008-03-07 ] In verse 39:9, Allah is asking mankind this question:
Have you any clarification regarding what you ascribed unto Him as partners, and what you describe as unlawful; Have you any knowledge, that God is satisfied with this, such that you can adduce for us?
You follow only supposition, you do but guess; you just lie.
