Re: Details of interpreting verses from the Qur’an and obvious blunders
(also refer back to my reply above)
You don’t have to tell me that Quran is answer to my every question. Allah (swt) says so!
Yes, the Quran speaks for itself but to understand one has to use the following criterion:
I am repeating myself again.
Ponder over the words of Hz. Ali ibn Abu Talib (ra):
The Qur’an, is but ink and paper, and it does not speak for itself. Instead, it is human beings who give effect to it according to their limited personal judgments and opinions.”
*“In one such report members of the Khawarij accused ‘Ali of accepting the judgment and dominion (hakimiyya) of human beings instead of abiding by the dominion of God’s law. Upon hearing of this accusation, ‘Ali called upon the people to gather around him and brought a large copy of the Qur’an. ‘Ali touched the Qur’an while instructing it to speak to the people and inform them about God’s law.
Surprised, the people gathered around ‘Ali exclaimed, “What are you doing? The Qur’an cannot speak, for it is not a human being!” Upon hearing this, ‘Ali exclaimed that this was exactly his point.
The Qur’an, ‘Ali explained, is but ink and paper, and it does not speak for itself. Instead, it is human beings who give effect to it according to their limited personal judgments and opinions.”

It is you who is having difficulties in understanding miracles in the Quran and are limiting the ability of Allah (swt) to do anything He wants.
Allah (swt) take up to heavens ALIVE Anyone He wants; Sustain him as He wants.
What He wishes all He has to say “BE” and Lo! It is. It’s that easy! And yet you deny it.
Miracles happen when Allah (swt) breaks rules He has set for His creation. He is free and is not bound by these rule and is free of them.
So Miracles of Quran are fairytales to you?
So to you purity in Islam is to believe that Hz. Adam (as) was born in Mesopotamia and Mr. Iblis (the cursed one) was a man in Mesopotamia and was a trouble maker? ![]()
Ghamdi says some nice things but he moves away from what the Prophet (saw) had said and relies on his own rationality I won’t agree with him. It’s nothing to do if he views converge with that of Ahmadis.
If you say Allah (swt) is One; I won’t disagree with you just because you are an Ahmadi.
