Re: Javed Ahmed Ghamdi
I think it is very important to know that what the Qur'an really is! Qur'an is not a list of laws as Torah. Qur'an is not a book of stories like Gospel. Rather Qur'an is direct word of God given to Prophet Muhammad (sws) in responses to different questions raised by adversaries of Prophet Muhammad and it also addresses Sahabah and Prophet Muhammad as well.
lol, Quran was desent on Muhammad s.a.w while the live audience were Sahabah, why wouldn't they both be mentioned in Quran. And what are Sahabah? Were they Prophets or Angels? Was Quran descent especially for Sahabah? If so then this is not justice to those who came after Sahabah including us, we know Allah can't be unjust; therefore there are no particular Ahkaam which Allah gave to Sahabah only. This is only the STUPIDITY and NIFAQ of Ghamidi that the Ahkaam we discussed above were aimed at Sahabah only.

In this whole conversation, laws and different stories are told in this debate but not separately. This is why every command of Qur'an will be read in its context. It will be seen that which part of Qur'an is given to which group or person and then we will deduce that what is now for us in it. This is the practice of all our top scholars who always to try to connect each of Qur'an with life of Prophet Muhammad.

lol, now you talk about TOP SCHOLARS while these Top Scholars become Idiots when Ghamidi has his own isolated ideas against them.

Qiblah issue is a classical example to explain what I just explained above. It tells us that Sahabah were asked to change Qiblah to see that which people were true believers and which were hypocrates. It was asked to Sahaba to change Qiblah and since then this new Qiblah has come to us through Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad but we are not asked to change Qiblah.
[/quote]
Don't play with words, give me a straight forward YES or NO.
Is the verse to change Qiblah addressing Sahabah only or no?
Is the Command of change of Qiblah specific for Sahabah or all Believers?

It is actually Khizar (as), not Zulqarnain (as). By the way, there is alot of debate on it.

Grow up man!
I nowhere talked about Khadir; the verse I mentioned says Thil Qarnain by name, it doesn't say Khadir; scroll up or go to the previous page, check the verse again, it talks about Thil Qarnain who did Qitaal of Enemies of Allah or in your language he punished them.
My question is if Thil Qarnain was a Prophet or the Companion of a Prophet?
[quote]
The verse says that they know the Prophet just like they know their own sons. This means that the status of Prophet Muhammad (sws) was known to these people just like they knew their sons. This statement can never be accepted to any degree for "people of the book" for today. Maybe afew know about Prophet Muhammad as a true Prophet of God and they are not accepting him because of their own arrogance, but this can definitely not be said for all Christians and Jews of modern world.
[/quote]
Again lame and stupid explanations!
What documented evidence you can provide me that the people of Book at the time of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w were different from those of Today in terms of their knowledge?
Show me where does it say that the people of Book at the time of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w were more knowledgable than they are today.

Secondly, in modern times, because there is no revelation of God, there is no way to know that truth is clear to someone to an extent that Qur'an uses the acquantance of someone's son with the realization of truth.
[/quote]
What an Idiotic comment!
Man, Quran was not revealed to the People of the Book, it was revealed to Muhammad sallAllahu 'alayhe wasallam.
So either they were at the time of Prophet or in the present time, Quran is the same to them, they have either to believe it or not.

I don't know why you are not taking following verses of Qur'an seriously that talk about punishment of adversaries of Prophet Muhammad by God through hands of Sahaba.
قَاتِلُوهُمْ يُعَذِّبْهُمُ اللَّهُ بِأَيْدِيكُمْ
Fight them and God will punish them with your hands. (9:14)

You and your Ghamidi will never grow up, if you remain the same, stubborn and extremist.
The Chapter Taubah (9) starts with
بَرَاءةٌ مِّنَ اللّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ إِلَى الَّذِينَ عَاهَدتُّم مِّنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ
009.001 A (declaration) of immunity from Allah and His Apostle, to those of the Mushrikeen with whom ye have contracted mutual alliances:-
Allah exists even today, as He existed at the time of Sahabah; Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah still today as he was at the time of Sahabah. Mushrikeen have the same status in Allah's sight today as it was at the time of Sahabah. No?
If yes, then still the openning of this chapter indicates that these verses are addressing Sahabah?
GHAMIDI'S Cleverness
Ghamidi and his likes try to be very smart. They reject hadith as a whole and claim that Quran is everything about the life of Prophet (Sunnah); well, I accept that, but then you can't use hadith when you are in need, right?
But I know you must use hadith where you need to twist Quran to suit your deviations.
As I am not using any hadith in my discussion, don't ever refer to any hadith before me.
Now explain the verses of Taubah from 1 to 14 without using any hadith or historical account; let's see if you can really swim or you have only seen fish swim.
By the way what you think of this verse of the same chapter Taubah:
009.006 If one amongst the Mushrikeen ask thee for asylum, grant it to him, so that he may hear the word of Allah; and then escort him to where he can be secure. That is because they are men without knowledge.
Since the audience of this verse is also Sahabah because of the CONTEXT, what you think of giving asylum to Mushrikeen?
Why would we ever give asylum to them when this command is not directed to us?
Since your Chacha Ghamidi believes that Agressive Jihad ended with Sahabah and now Muslims can do only Defensive Jihad, the following verses 09:13 and 09:14 oppose your views:
009.013 Will ye not fight people who violated their oaths, plotted to expel the Apostle, and took the aggressive by being the first (to assault) you? Do ye fear them? Nay, it is Allah Whom ye should more justly fear, if ye believe!
009.014 Fight them, and Allah will punish them by your hands, cover them with shame, help you (to victory) over them, heal the breasts of Believers,
So Allah punished Mushrikeen through Sahabah's Defensive Jihad, no?
By the way what Allah does to Kuffar whom Muslims fight in Defense today?
Is it Allah's gift or punishment?
