truthseeker63's Corner [Clarification about Islam] (OP)
I have a question about the Zakat Tax my question is do the Rich or the Wealthy pay more in Zakat Taxes and the Poor and the lower income people pay less in the Zakat Tax ? Is the Zakat Tax a Progressive Tax or a Wealth Tax ? I ask because I believe that the Rich or the Wealthy should pay more Taxes because it is fair does Islam agree with this view thank you ?
Re: Is there an Islamic Prophecy that Islam will conquer and or rule the entire Earth
Salaam/Peace
a realted link :
Allah says in His Quran what could be translated as: “We will, without doubt, help Our Messengers and those who believe, (both) in this world's life and on the Day when the Witnesses will stand forth” (40-51) He also says in the Holy Quran what could be translated as: “Fain would they extinguish Allah's Light with their mouths, but Allah will not allow but that His Light should be perfected, even though the Unbelievers may detest (it)” (9-32).
Prophet has many Hadeeth (his sayings) which give glad news of victory and plant hope in the hearts, especially the following Hadeeth:
“This religion will reach as far as the day and night reach. Allah will make Islam enter every house and tent in a manner that will dignify and honor Islam and humiliate the unbelievers”.

I know that the Quran has Scientific Miracles in it while Quran is not a Science Book it does have Scientific Miracles my question does the Quran say it has signs in it or claim to have Science in it even if the word Science is not used also is there a history of Islamic Science during the Islamic Golden Age and are there any Muslims who don;t think the Quran has any Scientific Miracles in it and even if it does they would not admit to it I don't understand why some Muslims would say this if there are any while I know the Quran is not a Science Book I would think that Scientific Miracles would be a sign from God from the Creator I mean Science does mean Knowledge right and God has the Knowledge.
I think that the fact that the Prophet Muhammad was Illiterate and could not Read or Write proves the Quran is the word of God because how could he of known of those Scientific Miracles even if the Greeks or the Romans thought of those Scientific Miracles first the Prophet Muhammad could not of known these facts and later facts that where later discovered.

In Islam was Jesus a Human Being just like Adam/Eve were I ask this question because some Christians will try to use the Quran to prove that Jesus is God ?

I have heard some Christians try to prove that Jesus is God by using the Holy Quran because in the Quran he created life a bird out of clay and made life and he raised people from the dead I view it as a miracle like the vigin birth which Christians also use as proof for Jesus being God they have weak arguments.
Re: I have heard some Christians try to prove that Jesus is God by using the Holy Qur
Peace truthseeker63,
Allah gave many prophets miracles relevant to their time.
At the time of Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) people excelled in magic. Allah gave him a miracle (the throwing of his staff and it's turning into a huge serpent) that anyone who saw, including expert magicians, at once knew that this was no magic but something given to Moses by Allah.
At the time of Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him), people excelled in medicine. Allah gave him miracles including healing those born blind and lepers, and giving life to the dead, and again, people recognised that this was nothing ordinary, and Jesus himself said that he of his own self could do nothing.
"I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me." (John 5: 30)
And [make him] a messenger to the Children of Israel, [who will say], 'Indeed I have come to you with a sign from your Lord in that I design for you from clay [that which is] like the form of a bird, then I breathe into it and it becomes a bird by permission of Allah . And I cure the blind and the leper, and I give life to the dead - by permission of Allah . And I inform you of what you eat and what you store in your houses. Indeed in that is a sign for you, if you are believers. (Qur'an 3:49 Sahih International)
It is clear fom the Bible and the Qur'an that Jesus (peace be upon him) could not do anything by himself, only with the permission of Allah who sent him.
It is inconceivable that God of his own self can't do anything.
Here's some food for thought:
If Christians try to prove that Jesus (peace be upon him) is God by virtue of his giving life to the dead, they should know that he restored life, with Allah's permission, to a human who had once been alive.
Moses (peace be upon him) threw his wooden stick, and it became a living serpent. In other words, something from the vegetable kingdom turned into a living, moving being from the animal kingdom. That is a far greater miracle than restoring life to a human who had once lived. Using this "logic", I wonder why they don't claim that prophet Moses (peace be upon him) is God...

Stunningly beautiful adhaan from the Dome of the Rock in Masjid ul Aqsa Download (right click and choose "save target/link as").
This is a clear message for mankind in order that they may be warned thereby, and that they may know that He is only One God, and that those of understanding may take heed (14:52)
Indeed Allah knows, and you know not (16: 74, part)
Re: Does the Holy Quran or any other Islamic Text say that God does not look like any
ليس كمثله شيئ "There is nothing like unto Him"-"Laysa kamithlihi Shay"
Surah ash-Shura, 11
In this ayah, Allah SWT demonstrates what should be our methodology when dealing with his attributes. He negates any sort of resemblance with His created.
Do not think of minor sins as insignificant,
for mountains are made out of pebbles...
