@bad
as per my knowledge provided to me by Allah, Alhamdolillah, there is no verse like that in the Quran. But if Allah wills, He can change the heart of people from stop making changes in the Quran. That is in the hikma of Allah. In Islam, we know that Allah has done many things to separate the Maumins from the Munafiks. Like in the case of Battle of both Badr and Uhud. May be this is just a hikma of Allah of doing that again, i.e. separating the pure of heart from the unpure, Allah knows the best.
Having said that, there are verses in the Quran challenging people to produce any verse like the Quran and the challenge is still open. The Quran even says to gather all the jins and human beings alike to accomplish this task. And I totally agree with you that someone who knows the Quran very well can detect slightest change in the Quran.
This is the beauty of this Book (Quran) that it can still be verified as it was at the time of the Holy Prophet (PBUH). None of the other Holy Books (Bible etc) can be verified. People have made so many changes in them. Those who will try to alter the Quran are indeed misguided by Allah and will certainly perish, if not in this world then in the here-after.
One more important thing, and this is to all of us including myself. This news is new to me. I did not hear about this before. So in order for us to refrain from circulating "rumors" without confirming them (which we muslims are ordered not to do) it is best to provide a source or a reference to these kind of talks, if available (ty @bad for providing a reference to it). Because we all know how rumor spreads. and if that news is not correct then it will create a bad image about Islam. Therefore, we should be extremely cautious. May Allah guide us all towards the right path. Ameen Sum Ameen

no worries brother.
really interested.
Salam alaikum brothers... Sorry for the delay...
Firstly, I only reverted this year... It was about 6 months ago...
I was brought up as a Christian, (Church of England) and my mother goes to church each week but has her own personal views of things (i.e. she believes that Mary Magdalin was married to Jesus) and does not follow the church blindly. My father is an athiest.
During my teens I moved away from Christianity as it couldnt answer my questions and became an Atheist... I would say that over time, as I went into my early 20's I began to think about it further (not too deeply) and had Agnostic beliefs but felt that you should do good, be kind to people etc...
A friend of 15 years (who I have worked with also for 5 years) is a Muslim but only really started practicing over the last couple of years, also about 4 or 5 of the people I have worked with (closely) over the last couple of years are Muslims...
We has many discussions and I would put across my scientific point of view (I had alot of belief in science and what could be proven etc) while they put across their Islamic view... I didnt feel that I was missing anything so continued to not be religious and didnt feel the need to look into Islam or anything else for that matter...
With all the media attention etc over time I found that I was in a position where I had a group of friends who were Muslims and the message being preached by the media was totally different to what I knew through them... This made me think...
My friend gave me a book on Islam & Science (cant remember the authors name but he's an Indian guy whos very good!) and that answered some of the questions I had previously and also was of great interest to me as I saw myself as someone who believed in science...
This made me look into Islam in more detail and at this point I came across Abdul Hakim Murad (Tim Winters). As I was able to relate to him in a way that I hadnt been able to do before (english, white guy, ginger beard - mine for some reason is ginger even though my hair is dark/mousey blonde?! - i now see it as a blessing from Allah!) it really began my journey...
I eventually got to a point where I could see that my Agnostic view of doing good etc fitted in with Islam and that my scientific view also fitted in... At this point I realised that I was a Muslim!!! Alhumdullilah!
After reverting I found out that my friend had been praying special d'ua for me, that Allah would open my heart... And he did!
After reading 'The Sealed Nectar' I relate it to the Prophet (PBUH) praying d'ua for Umar Al-Khattab's conversion!
Thats my story in a nutshell...

@Brother Aqil
subhanAllah , mashAllah ... It is indeed Allah who opens the heart for those who He wills.
@All, alhamdolillah tomorrow is juma. A brief reminder for all of us regarding what the Quran and the Sunnah says about this day.
"O you who believe! When the call is proclaimed for prayer on the day of Jumu'ah, then hasten to the remembrance of Allah, and leave off all trade: that is better for you, if only you knew. And when the Prayer has been offered, then you may disperse through the land, and seek of Allah's bounty; but remember Allah often, that you may prosper. But when they see a bargain or amusement, they disperse headlong to it, and leave you (O Muhammad) standing! Say: What Allah has is better than any amusement or bargain, and Allah is the best of providers. (Al-Qur'aan, surah al-Jumu'ah, 62:9-11)"
http://www.abdurrahman.org/salah/fridaycongregation.html
What Prophet (PBUH) said we (muslims) should do on a friday.
[b]1 Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) said, "Any person who takes a bath on Friday like the bath of Janaba and then goes for the prayer (in the first hour i.e. early), it is as if he had sacrificed a camel (in Allah's cause); and whoever goes in the second hour it is as if he had sacrificed a cow; and whoever goes in the third hour, then it is as if he had sacrificed a horned ram; and if one goes in the fourth hour, then it is as if he had sacrificed a hen; and whoever goes in the fifth hour then it is as if he had offered an egg. When the Imam comes out (i.e. starts delivering the Khutba), the angels present themselves to listen to the Khutba." (Sahi Bukhari, Volume 2, Book 13, Number 6)
2 Narrated Salman-Al-Farsi:
The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, "Whoever takes a bath on Friday, purifies himself as much as he can, then uses his (hair) oil or perfumes himself with the scent of his house, then proceeds (for the Juma prayer) and does not separate two persons sitting together (in the mosque), then prays as much as (Allah has) written for him and then remains silent while the Imam is delivering the Khutba, his sins in-between the present and the last Friday would be forgiven." (Sahi Bukhari, Volume 2, Book 13, Number 8 )
3 Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "If I had not found it hard for my followers or the people, I would have ordered them to clean their teeth with Siwak for every prayer." (Sahi Bukhari, Volume 2, Book 13, Number 12)
4 Narrated Abu Huraira:
heard Allah's Apostles (p.b.u.h) saying, "If the prayer is started do not run for it but just walk for it calmly and pray whatever you get, and complete whatever is missed. "(Sahi Bukhari, Volume 2, Book 13, Number 31)
5 Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) said, "When the Imam is delivering the Khutba, and you ask your companion to keep quiet and listen, then no doubt you have done an evil act." (Sahi Bukhari, Volume 2, Book 13, Number 56)
6 Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) talked about Friday and said, "There is an hour (opportune time) on Friday and if a Muslim gets it while praying and asks something from Allah, then Allah will definitely meet his demand." And he (the Prophet) pointed out the shortness of that time with his hands.
(Sahi Bukhari, Volume 2, Book 13, Number 57)
http://www.abdurrahman.org/salah/FridayPrayerBukhari.html
7 "He who recites Sura Kahaf (Sura Number 18) on the day of Juma, a light shall shine for him till the next Juma." (Reported by Imam Al-Hakim and Al-Baihaqee)

Can someone vefriy what kind of science the Quran contains?

Much appreciated |

@king
thank you very much for your concern about modern science and Islam. I will be more than happy to help you with the best of my knowledge. Mentioned below are a few of the many scientific miracles mentioned in the Quran.
1: Embryology
The Quran goes in a lot of detail regarding the formation of a human being. I will quote a few of the verses of the Holy Quran regarding this matter. Renowned Embryologist, Dr Keith L. Moore has confirmed all the facts described below in the book The Developing Human and has confirmed that Quran is indeed the word of Allah. We all know the process of reproduction, a single sperm fuses with the egg to form zygote. The Quran explains this beautifully in the following verse
Does man reckon he will be left uncontrolled [without purpose]? Was he not once a drop of ejected semen? (Qur'an, 75:36-37)
http://www.miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_57.html#85
As you may know that the Prophet (PBUH) was illiterate and there was no medical college or advanced medical equipment to confirm that only a single drop out of many is required for human birth.
Another most important fact stated in the Quran regarding this subject is given below
We created man from an extract of clay. Then We made him as a drop in a place of settlement, firmly fixed. Then We made the drop into an alaqah (leech, suspended thing, and blood clot), then We made the alaqah into a mudghah (chewed substance)... (Quran, 23:12-14). Literally, the Arabic word alaqah has three meanings: (1) leech, (2) suspended thing, and (3) blood clot.
http://www.islamicmedicines.c[....]man-embryonic-development.html
I will now post few pictures to back up the description in the above verses
Resemblance between a human embryo and leech, 1st meaning of alaqah
Second meaning of alaqah, a suspended thing (shown by B on right side pic)
Third meaning of alaqa, a blood clot, the sac like structure of the embryo resembles a blood clot
confirming the meaning of mudagah (a chewed substance)
http://www.islamicmedicines.c[....]man-embryonic-development.html
Other Quranic miracles regarding Islam are listed below
2: Geology
* Mountains
* Formation of clouds and rain
* Earth Crust
3: General
* Formation of Milks in cows
* Honey Bee and the production of Honey
* An invisible barrier between salt water and fresh water
So many other miracles are listed and explained in the following website.
http://www.miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_index.html
If you need some extra information please DO NOT hesitate to ask and I will provide you with some more information. I hope this answers your question and clears any concern you had.

A very simple yet fruitfull hadeeth for all the sisters visiting this thread. Also to all the brothers, please try to show this hadeeth to the women of your family.
JazakAllah
Narrated by Anas ibn Malik (Radhiallaho anho):
Allah's Messenger (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said, "When a woman observes the five times of prayer, fasts during Ramadan, preserves her chastity and obeys her husband, she may enter by any of the gates of Paradise she wishes."
(Al-Tirmidhi 956, Abu Nu'aym transmitted it in al-Hilyah)
Wasalam o alaikum warah matullah wabara katuhu
EDIT: My number of posts dont seem to go past 261 .. after 261 they get back to 257 .. any1 knows why?

Was reading the Holy Quran this afternoon, and came accross this verse:
Verse 41 of Surah 24 (light)
"Seest thou not that it is Allah Whose praises all beings in the heavens and on earth do celebrate, and the birds of the air with wings outspread? Each one knows its own mode of prayer and praise. And Allah knows well all that they do."
Then i saw this video of a bird praying on Youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k40k2xUfwIA
All praise is for Allah, the Greatest.
To him is our final return.

Salam,
A woman who lives close to me had been possessed by a Jinn. Its a topic that I found a bit hard to believe as in I thought that the woman was just a nasty person in her heart. I was told about her exorcism in detail and how frightening it was for the people involved. Check out these incredible videos:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMj3p4-Ma9U&feature=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouOXWgJS-gc&feature=related
I hear that it is possible for people to take advantage of Jinns. It is something that happens in my community, people pay to have black magic done on good people to break up a marriage, cause fighting within families or even with good intentions to cure illnesses for example. There are some strange things that people do on the instruction of dodgy Imams like wearing a 'bullet' (with a dwa inside it) around your neck and burying Arabic text in somebodys grave.
All Muslims who may be tempted to go for such a solution should remember that the Qur'an has the answer to all problems. Believing that this type of thing can help is Shirk, having a dwa around your neck will not protect you; knowing the meaning of it and praise for Allah will.
I make sure I read the four Quls and Aiyatul Qursi before I go to bed. This type of thing is frightening. It is devestating to many people. May Allah protect us all. |

Indeed Allah mentions in the Holy Quran that these black magics are act of the devil and we muslims should not indulge in them in any form what so ever. Yet we still face this problems these days of muslims harming other muslims brother because of some worldly reasons or jeleousy. Indeed Quran does have the solution to provide a cure from these black magic. and Yes we should always trust in Allah and not those things which we tie around our arm and neck. Allah is our protector not them.

Respected your Parents
Allah has said in the Holy Quran
This emphasizes the importance and respect we should have for our parents. We are not even to say UFF to them for whatever reason. and yet what do we do, continuously yell at them, do not respect them. Disrespecting the parents is one of the major sins after associating a partner with Allah as mentioned in the hadeeth below.
"Narrated Abu Bakra: Allah's Apostle said thrice, "Shall I not inform you of the biggest of the great sins?" We said, "Yes, O Allah's Apostle" He said, "To join partners in worship with Allah: to be undutiful to one's parents." The Prophet sat up after he had been reclining and added, "And I warn you against giving forged statement and a false witness; I warn you against giving a forged statement and a false witness." The Prophet kept on saying that warning till we thought that he would not stop."
(Sahi Bukhari, Book of Manners, Hadeeth Number 7).
We all should we very weary of this.
Prophet (PBUH) emphasized the respect of parents with the following hadeeths
Narrated Al-Walid bin 'Aizar: I heard Abi Amr 'Ash-Shaibani saying, "The owner of this house." he pointed to 'Abdullah's house, "said, 'I asked the Prophet 'Which deed is loved most by Allah?" He replied, 'To offer prayers at their early (very first) stated times.' " 'Abdullah asked, "What is the next (in goodness)?" The Prophet said, "To be good and dutiful to one's parents," 'Abdullah asked, "What is the next (in goodness)?" The Prophet said, To participate in Jihad for Allah's Cause." 'Abdullah added, "The Prophet narrated to me these three things, and if I had asked more, he would have told me more."
(Sahi Bukhari, Book of Manners, Hadeeth # 1)
Narrated Abu Huraira: A man came to Allah's Apostle and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Who is more entitled to be treated with the best companionship by me?" The Prophet said, "Your mother." The man said. "Who is next?" The Prophet said, "Your mother." The man further said, "Who is next?" The Prophet said, "Your mother." The man asked for the fourth time, "Who is next?" The Prophet said, "Your father. "
(Sahi Bukhari, Book of Manners, Hadeeth # 2)
SubhanAllah, a mother is to be respected 3 times more than a father and there is an obvious reason to this. Mother goes through the pain of bearing a child for 9 months. and then there is the process of delivering a child which can also take the life of the mother. and then there is the usual rehma for a child in the mothers heart. She wakes up even in the middle of the night for a crying child. SubhanAllah
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr: A man said to the Prophet, "Shall I participate in Jihad?" The Prophet said, "Are your parents living?" The man said, "Yes." the Prophet said, "Do Jihad for their benefit."
(Sahi Bukhari, Book of Manners, Hadeeth #3)
Numerous places in the Quran Allah has emphasized the importance of Jihad and yet if the parents are alive, we are entitled to stay with them and do kindness to them.
Let us all judge ourselves in the light of the above mentioned aya's and hadeeth. Are we paying the proper respect to our parents.
May Allah guide us all and let us respect our parents as described by Allah and the Prophet (PBUH).
