Re: Portraying the Prophet

Hadiths word of MAN, definitely. therefore who is in control?
Re: Portraying the Prophet
You even got some zealous crazy Clerics in Afghanistan and Iran that I have read about forbidding emoticons to be used, as all forms of pictures are Haram in Islam, including people, animals and such.
Ya, see how nuts IT CAN be? :) :) :) :) :) hopefully, the fundys are choking on those happy faces.
Re: Portraying the Prophet
A Muslim has to be the one who believes in the unseen.

YUSUFALI: This is the Book; in it is guidance sure, without doubt, to those who fear Allah;

YUSUFALI: Who believe in the Unseen, are steadfast in prayer, and spend out of what We have provided for them;
Re: Portraying the Prophet
For those who asked where God said that the Quran is fully detailed:
006.114
YUSUFALI: Say: "Shall I seek for judge other than Allah? - when He it is Who hath sent unto you the Book, explained in detail." They know full well, to whom We have given the Book, that it hath been sent down from thy Lord in truth. Never be then of those who doubt.
PICKTHAL: Shall I seek other than Allah for judge, when He it is Who hath revealed unto you (this) Scripture, fully explained? Those unto whom We gave the Scripture (aforetime) know that it is revealed from thy Lord in truth. So be not thou (O Muhammad) of the waverers.
SHAKIR: Shall I then seek a judge other than Allah? And He it is Who has revealed to you the Book (which is) made plain; and those whom We have given the Book know that it is revealed by your Lord with truth, therefore you should not be of the disputers.
AND
006.038
YUSUFALI: There is not an animal (that lives) on the earth, nor a being that flies on its wings, but (forms part of) communities like you. Nothing have we omitted from the Book, and they (all) shall be gathered to their Lord in the end.
PICKTHAL: There is not an animal in the earth, nor a flying creature flying on two wings, but they are peoples like unto you. We have neglected nothing in the Book (of Our decrees). Then unto their Lord they will be gathered.
SHAKIR: And there is no animal that walks upon the earth nor a bird that flies with its two wings but (they are) genera like yourselves; We have not neglected anything in the Book, then to their Lord shall they be gathered.

that explains killing oneself for all those unseen virgins. is it truly intellectual use of mind or gullibility by the naive??
Re: Portraying the Prophet
If it is getting killed while fighting in the way of Allah, then yes, it is one of the strongest demonstration of faith in action. You can call it naivity if you like :). You must agree that it takes a hell of nerves to do that.
Re: Portraying the Prophet
I agree it takes stupidity and indoctrination to do that and not hell of nerves. Nerves takes intelligence not parochail brainwashing by a warmongering clerics who visit the west and drink , gamble and whore around while expecting total obedience and submission from their people when they return.
however, I see you could not invalidate my statements, thus I am sure its not from being intellectually endowed but parochially entrenched into submission without question.
As for invisible virgins, are many muslim men so insecure about their sexual performance in life that even in death they they seek novices who would not know what fumblers and stumblers they truly are ? And dying for invisible virgins will they be told to marry them or is it permissible in paradise state to defile Allah's girls.
