Greetings,

The worst crime mentioned in quoted Hadith does not mean it is the absolute worst crime, worse than everything else.

Why does he say "[t]he worst criminal", then? Do the words have different meanings in Arabic?

There are several things that are equally worse crimes and this is included among them.

How can something be equally worse? Are we having a language issue here?

Another Hadith says:
'A'isha

reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "The greatest of criminals is the poet who satirises the entire tribe and a man who disclaims his father." [Al-Adab Al-Mufrad]

There's definitely a language issue here because of the lack of noun-verb agreement. I don't think we'll get very far when words and their meanings have become as slippery as this.

Peace

Whatever you choose to call it, your question has already been answered. You are missing the point, as usual.

You will not find anywhere, in any law of the world, a sequential list of crimes ranging from the most worse to the least worse. Each crime has its own level, some of them would be more severe than the other. The jury deals with each crime on a case-by-case basis because there are a lot of factors involved in the background.

In some cases, a murderer would get 5 years and rapist would get more, but in other cases, a murderer would get life sentence or execution.

If you read the Hadith, you will find there are several things about which the Prophet

has informed about the first thing that will be questioned on the Day of Judgement. It is said in that way to indicate their importance and it means those are all among the first things that will be questioned about (and murder is one of them).

If you don't agree, it is ok, you don't have to keep dragging the discussion just for the sake of it.

I've been speaking to a non Muslim who is openly insisting that Isa is not Jesus and Allah is not GOD. They say these teaching come from the majority sect of Islam. I asked them to refer to what they claim using the Qur'an, but they say it is the Hadiths. could someone clarify as I can't gather such from the simple unbiased reading of the Quran alone and will not be reading any Hadiths at this time.

Thank you,
peace

The straight answer iiiissss

He's an idiot. Stupids can be taught but not Idiots. These Three are semetic religions with Prophet Abraham as the patriarch and revered figure. Mecca is mentioned in the Bible. Jesus Spoke Aramaic a mixture of Hebrew & Arabic. The three scriptures have names of Adam & Eve ( this idiot may say , No its not Adam

its Adam's Father ) and other many prophets and near similar histories . Prophet Muhammad

the last prophet was prophesied in all most all religions of the world including this old guard

http://www.ummah.com/forum/showthrea...uhammad-(pbuh)

Let him quote the hadiths if he is not a Liar.

They say Isa replaced Christ or some such thing. It is strange.
Thank you for the input, I will attempt to describe his position better, later, this evening.

The individual desisted in their line of arguing, thankfully. I do appreciate the effort.

I will keep this place in mind when I have questions.

Now that I think of it;

What are the Hadiths exactly?
They aren't in the Qur'an right? So where are they from.

Thank you in advance sincerely. I do apologise for my ignorance.

Hadith are the sayings of Prophet

to his sahabas or companions. While the Noble Quran was actively & frequently being revealed during the 3/4th of the 23 years after being given Prophet Hood and was written down as manuscripts but earlier then Prophet told to avoid writing hadith so that not to confuse between them both ie the Noble Quran & the Hadith.

But once The Major part the Noble Quran was already revealed and already Memorized by 10,000's of companions since it MUST BE RECITED IN % TIMES SALAH -prayers & other extra prayers WITHOUT HOLDING THOSE MANUSCRIPTS IN HAND ( so the need of a Must memorization) Prophet

ordered that now the hadiths can be written down . So they were written on the latter part and was collected into books by the most Pious & serious collectors with systematic method with CLEAR CUT PROOF of chain of Narrators untill to the first source who heard it DIRECTLY from the blessed lips of Prophet on a the particular day or incident or whatever which showed he did say those words .

If these collectors doubted credit worthiness of any one in the chain of Narrators the Hadith was termed as weak. USING THIS STRINGENT RULE or CRITERIA TO GRADE THE HADITH Imam Bukhari had thrown away more than 96% of his 300,000 hadith to select only about 7000 among them and futher from it repeating of the same hadith and were further removed to make it 3000 plus.

You are welcome to ask anything about Islam and its a Muslims duty from our Creator Allah and his prophet to share with you, if asked sincerely.

I don't exactly agree with divisions and sects of the faithful in GOD. I would describe myself as actively striving to be utterly Faithful to the One Creator GOD of life and creation, of which there are a vast multitude of names.

I'm not certain about organized religion and disagree with much that I have observed of some of the "faithful". I agree with a multitude of sacred texts spanning different ancient faiths, and some not so ancient. I also find that they speak of the same things for the same reasons (namely the will of GOD as it pertains to man). I've asked here before if it would be right or OK to consider myself Islamic (submissive to GOD) to which the general consensus was a reiderated "yes". I too believe in the teachings, example, and self sacrifice of the Christ of GOD. I believe that when it (Qur'an) says the Christ of GOD didn't die, that it is a testament to the very nature of the Christ; that nature being spiritual. Because of this I consider myself Christian too though not a traditional trinitarian and not of any particular sect. I find the Zend Avesta holds much truth too, as do other writings such as those ascribed to the Baha'i faith.

I'm sorry if that doesn't help to explain.

I was atheist for a long time. I was shown that GOD existed in a very personal, merciful, miraculous, irrefutable way(to me personally). That is to say that my faith was a gift as opposed to a teaching or indoctrination by man. The Qur'an was the first book I read of that sort with a real eagerness to learn and I consider it to hold very much truth but admittedly stay away from the additions within parenthesis.

Sorry, ranting, must go

Pride and greed seemingly affect all but the most pious, me being no exception at times.

The term Islam is not synonymous with the actions of many, regardless of what their words might profess.

To say all of Islam are submissive to GOD is like saying the Catholic Church is the universal Church of GOD. Sounds great, but due to pride and greed, simply isn't the case.

I agree with what you say about Jesus, Krishna, and Buddha, and all those who submit to and are faithful to GOD.

I will never stop seeking or close my eyes to the Truth until our GOD decides my time is up.

peace friend. Interesting conversation. Thank you.

From my memory Zend Avesta are
for the followers of Zoraster and their book is probably from Zaboor (Prophet David's Book) or the Psalms which has two sections one of commandments and other of Hymns . the hymn part was transferd to the OT as Psalms and the command part was alterated to the Talmud.

I did do comparative relgion in my teens but not that seriously.

In Short All most All religions are from God The Creator but they are existing in different forms in disguise untill the last updated (like a Mobile or a gadget ) one The Last one the Noble Quran

From my memory Zend Avesta are for the followers of Zoraster ( took Fire as God , why ? i have my own reasoning from a verse ) and their book is most probably from adulteration of Zaboor (Prophet David's Book in Noble Quran) or the Psalms which has two sections one of commandments and other of Hymns . the hymn part was transfered to the OT as Psalms after 600 years after Moses and the commands part was altered and made as the Talmud about 600 years after Moses (pbuh). So that's why Allah claims the Jews Altered books of Allah and killed prophet (John, the baptist but in Jesus's cae they were fooled),

I did do comparative religion in my teens but not that seriously. Hope post # 37 & 41 here will prove what mean The Concept of God

In Short All most All religions are from God The Creator but they are existing in different forms in disguise untill the last updated (like a Mobile or a gadget ) one The Last one the Noble Quran.

Bahai is a break away from Islam and are hugely misguided into Kufr since they had used their opinion and Logic more than the commandment of Allah. The same case is with Sikhism whose patriach,Guru Nanak had even done Haj to Mecca.

This also proves & confirms the preface first post here

I think your thinking of the Torah, not the Zend Avesta. But yes, it is from the Zoroastrian faith.

No I am not speaking of the Torah which is interchangeably used between OT. I am giving from my memory of 3 decades ago when I had some doubts on my religion by Birth , Islam and worked on it for an year or so and I thanked Allah for making me born in the right Religion.

As I always claim all most all religions they are from One Creator Allah who had sent more than 120,000 Prophets to every nation and in their own language ( the Noble Quran ) Zoraster is little bit complicated for me but they were classified by Caliph Umar :RA: as a people of the book . Like in case if the Noble Quran did not say about Jesus we have NO CHANCE of knowing that he was a Muslim worshipping one Creator God . Similarly Zoraster I am not sure it was Prophet David himself or it was some other Prophet who worshipped one God but the later generations transformed him into some one else as it always has been right from the children of Adam , A Satans Trick & misguidance.

IMO some verses of the Noble Quran was in the Torah and the Injeel and I guess this verse of the Noble Quran 24:35 could have been in the Book of Zoraster or Zaboor (Psalms) of Prophet Dawud :AS: or David

Noble Quran 24:35 '' ''Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The example of His light is like a niche within which is a lamp, the lamp is within glass, the glass as if it were a pearly [white] star lit from [the oil of] a blessed olive tree, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil would almost glow even if untouched by fire. Light upon light. Allah guides to His light whom He wills. And Allah presents examples for the people, and Allah is Knowing of all things.''

And So they took the FIRE itself as God such are so many religions of the world ( the MORE older -the MORE misguided they became and the Worst like Zorasters - Fire worshippers- ) which got mislead by their own false assumptions and DOUBTS incited by Shaitan in their hearts as he did with children of Adam who took the statue of saints as their Gods and similar was the case of Arabs within whom Idolatory intruded just before 300 years before the birth of Muhammad or else they were the monotheists Who lived around the Kaaba right from the time of Prophet Abraham, the renowned Monotheists and were better than the Isralites who were very Mischeivious with substituting God with a Calf just in a month absence of Moses (pbuh) even after seeing greatest Miracles so Allah sent in them, the Isrealites about a 1000 prophets to guide them but in vain unlike the Ishamelites ( Arabs ) where on the right path of monotheism for millenniums so that did not necessitate Allah to send his Messengers unless untill they got corrupted by idolatory and Allah send his seal of his Prophets , The Last Prophet with last or latest Book, the Noble Quran.

Even the wikipedia affirms it ''.....There are 150 psalms in the Jewish and Western Christian tradition (more in the Eastern Christian churches), many of them linked to the name of King David, but his authorship is not accepted by most modern Bible scholars.[3]''

whatever wisdom about Authenticity of scriptures was given about these very old holy books were given ONLY by the Quran, when the world was confused where they actually came from ? Subhanallah.
