that altaf hussein incident is pretty clear cut…its totally ridiculous.
But with regards to alleged miracles/signs of Allah(swt), i think i still havent gotten my point across. Im not saying u have to take them seriously..all im saying is that who are we to outright reject them? When i see things like that, Allah’s name appearing somewhere for example, i usually prefer to just observe them and not say anything in favour or objection. Sometimes its better to keep ur mouth shut
But if its all written in quran why dont ppl read it and interpret it BEFORE a non muslim does…??? Instead of saying stuff later on…
I dont feel bad about my religion or anything…
I mean its a non-muslims decovery… TYhe saw the rose nebula with hubble… what if tomorrw NASA says that hubble is a tech turkey (again) and the pictures we due to some flare… with our comment the credibility of the quran goes down the drain… atleast for my christian friend.. right?
I mean ppl have quoted quran about sights on the moon… which the landers saw…what is tomorrow someone proves that no one landed on the moon…
the thing is, most of things WERE known to the Muslims before the Europeans…Arabs were already doing research on most of this stuff..there’s tons of old manuscripts and drawings out there if u want proof. Infact, many of the European scientists’ works were based on Muslims scientists’ and scholars.
Many of those have been posted here as well.
Another thing is that many things in the Quran couldnt have been interpreted all at once..they’re still being understood and with the passage of time. Something that couldn’t have made sense to Muslims centuries ago makes sense now. Like man landing on the moon…Muslims wouldnt have really understood it 1400 years ago but it is a fact now isnt it? I dont know what else i can say without repeating myself…
here’s a few very informative links if u’re interested
another great one is “The Amazing Holy Quran” by Gary Miller. I cant find the written version right now but if u want to listen to it: http://islamicity.com/radio/ch1100.htm
