ask me a question about islam

You lot had better make up your minds. :p


Do Muslims/Moslems :rolleyes: acknowledge the Eternal Holy Trinity?
 
No. It does not seem befitting for God to have a son. I have read the bible (not all of it, but have scanned it for many years).

Some places it says Jesus is God, some places it says Jesus is the son and some places he himself says he is son of man/just a man...etc.

I find that interesting, can you help on that one?
 
If the religion is Islam, where did the word moslem come from? Why can you be a moslem but not an islamic?

From the quran


008.011
YUSUFALI: Remember He covered you with a sort of drowsiness, to give you calm as from Himself, and he caused rain to descend on you from heaven, to clean you therewith, to remove from you the stain of Satan, to strengthen your hearts, and to plant your feet firmly therewith.
PICKTHAL: When He made the slumber fall upon you as a reassurance from him and sent down water from the sky upon you, that thereby He might purify you, and remove from you the fear of Satan, and make strong your hearts and firm (your) feet thereby.
SHAKIR: When He caused calm to fall on you as a security from Him and sent down upon you water from the cloud that He might thereby purify you, and take away from you the uncleanness of the Shaitan, and that He might fortify your hearts and steady (your) footsteps thereby.

008.012
YUSUFALI: Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): "I am with you: give firmness to the Believers: I will instil terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them."
PICKTHAL: When thy Lord inspired the angels, (saying): I am with you. So make those who believe stand firm. I will throw fear into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Then smite the necks and smite of them each finger.
SHAKIR: When your Lord revealed to the angels: I am with you, therefore make firm those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.

008.013
YUSUFALI: This because they contended against Allah and His Messenger: If any contend against Allah and His Messenger, Allah is strict in punishment.
PICKTHAL: That is because they opposed Allah and His messenger. Whoso opposeth Allah and His messenger, (for him) lo! Allah is severe in punishment.
SHAKIR: This is because they acted adversely to Allah and His Messenger; and whoever acts adversely to Allah and His Messenger-- then surely Allah is severe in requiting (evil).

So it IS there in black and white allah's words, all that remains is to interpret or misinterpret them as you will.
 
What is the single most important thing to believe. (I know there are probably many)

The Cow
[2.266] Does one of you like that he should have a garden of palms and vines with streams flowing beneath it; he has in it all kinds of fruits; and old age has overtaken him and he has weak offspring, when, (lo!) a whirlwind with fire in it SMITES it so it becomes blasted; thus Allah makes the communications clear to you, that you may reflect.
The Family of Imran
[3.117] The likeness of what they spend in the life of this world is as the likeness of wind in which is intense cold (that) SMITES the seed produce of a people who haw done injustice to their souls and destroys it; and Allah is not unjust to them, but they are unjust to themselves.
The Accessions
[8.17] So you did not slay them, but it was Allah Who slew them, and you did not SMITE when you smote (the enemy), but it was Allah Who smote, and that He might confer upon the believers a good gift from Himself; surely Allah is Hearing, Knowing.
[8.25] And fear an affliction which may not SMITE those of you in particular who are unjust; and know that Allah is severe in requiting (evil).
The Thunder
[13.13] And the thunder declares His glory with His praise, and the angels too for awe of Him; and He sends the thunderbolts and SMITES with them whom He pleases, yet they dispute concerning Allah, and He is mighty in prowess.
The Clans
[33.19] Being niggardly with respect to you; but when fear comes, you will see them looking to you, their eyes rolling like one swooning because of death; but when the fear is gone they SMITE you with sharp tongues, being niggardly of the good things. These have not believed, therefore Allah has made.their doing naught; and this is easy to Allah.
Muhammad
[47.4] So when you meet in battle those who disbelieve, then SMITE the necks until when you have overcome them, then make (them) prisoners, and afterwards either set them free as a favor or let them ransom (themselves) until the war terminates. That (shall be so); and if Allah had pleased He would certainly have exacted what is due from them, but that He may try some of you by means of others; and (as for) those who are slain in the way of Allah, He will by no means allow their deeds to perish.
The Pen
[68.51] And those who disbelieve would almost SMITE you with their eyes when they hear the reminder, and they say: Most surely he is mad.
The Clot
[96.15] Nay! if he desist not, We would certainly smite his forehead,



47.4 Is the only verse in which that could have that meaning and in it is refering to The Prophet's(saws) battle against the enemy.Notice how afterwards it says to make them prisoners? so that doesnt obviously mean to cutt their heads off.......peace unto you
 
Well Samuel Noah Kramer states that allah comes from alla - a sumerian god of the underworld. I wont support or deny that, but the guy most certainly knows a lot more than anyone here does.
