The Profound Teachings of the Prophet!

[Muslim Knight]

Re: The Words of the Prophet

I'm looking for something that means 'willingness to overlook the faults of others'. I'm sure there must be some word in the english language for it.

JazakAllah khayr.

Being passive? Passiveness? Passivity? Tolerance? Lenience? Forbearance?

Ah.. that's your word, bro Ansar, forbear with me for a while.

"The Prophet said: 'The cure for ignorance is to question.' (Sunan Abî Dawûd)"

Why don't people on this forum follow this advice.

There is nothing profound about the quotations they are nothing new.

Some of us maybe not be as learned as you when it comes to the studies of ahadith. Also, being aware of knowledge is not sufficient, we must implement it into our lives.

I don't know what the studies of ahadith is but reading the quotations i was surprised that they where described as being profound as a lot of schools of thought say similar things and i agree with the rest of your comment.

Greetings,


Sorry, I just realised you were not Muslim.

Hi Yoke,
Can you bring any other major leader in human history who can match the above quotes on every aspect?

Of course the quotes state something that is already recognized by human beings because the Prophet's teachings are in tune with the human fitrah (natural disposition). That's the point. The Prophet pbuh was able to bless his followers with such beautiful teachings in every aspect of life.

If you study history of philosophy you will see a lot better than the quotes in fact those quotes are very bad philosophy but not a bad effort.

The quotes are also evidence than Mohammad was not a prophet.

Ansar's original point was regarding a single leader (of any kind) who gave such a full, complete and profound set of teachings on the morals of life.

Secondly, your statement that other 'quotes' are better is something that is very heavily opinion based to the extent its very difficult to have a factual debate about it. So lets not pass of opinion as fact.

The quotes are also evidence than Mohammad was not a prophet.

Would you care to explain this statement?

 

[IbnAbdulHakim]

I read all the quotes and not once did i think that muhammad saws was not a prophet. Your basis for calling muhammad a prophet is different to ours. We believe in what he has revealed becoz we hav read it! Learned about it!

Do the same, then come bak plz.

I see you have ignored my challenge. Can you bring me a single leader who has imparted to his followers as comprehensive and profound guidance of Prophet Muhammad pbuh? They are not 'bad philosophy' because they are not philosophy in the first place. They are guidance for human souls.

As for a lot better, you will have to provide an objective measure - are they better to an anti-islamist because they do not come from the mouth of a Muslim? For all we know, that may well be your only criteria.

The quotes are also evidence than Mohammad was not a prophet.

A claim which crumbles when brought under the standard of objectivity. But of course I wouldn't expect any more from anti-islamists - when they see quotes which paint Islam in a favourable light they have to do damage control and make ludicrous claims like the above. Yes yoke, because the Prophet instructed Muslims to be merciful, polite, compassionate, respectful, therefore he couldn't have been a real Prophet! :happy: Anymore jokes you'd like to share?

 

[Ansar Al-'Adl]

I added a hadith on cognizance, sincerity, simplicity, gratitude, reliability, accountability, discipline and diet! As well, I have rearranged the hadith into a somewhat more logical order.

As well, since the scope of the collection has broadened somewhat, I have changed the subtitle to the Prohet's saying, I have been given words which are concise but comprehensive in meaning (arabic: 'u-tîtu jawâmi 'al kalimi) [Bukhari and Muslim].

SubhanAllah, just looking at that statement in arabic you see the truth of it; many of these ahadith are just three or four words in arabic, but when you try to translate the meaning into another language, it becomes a long sentence.

The Prophet said: 'Do not search for (the faults of others), for if anyone searches for (others) faults, God will search for his.' (Sunan Abî Dawûd)

[...]I'm looking for a word that means 'overlooking the faults of others'

In addition to that one, I'd like to add this one:
The Prophet said: 'Blessed is he who preoccupies himself with his own defects, rather than those of others.' (Musnad Al-Bazzâr)

Is there any word better than self-criticism? :?

Lots of reps for the person who can come up with a heading for these.

 

[snakelegs]

ansar,
how about "nonjudgemental"?

 

[yoke]

Ansar's original point was regarding a single leader (of any kind) who gave such a full, complete and profound set of teachings on the morals of life.

As i said if you study the history of philosophy you will find plenty of them you need to explain what you mean by a "full and complete" set of teachings on morals i can understand what you mean by profound.

Secondly, your statement that other 'quotes' are better is something that is very heavily opinion based to the extent its very difficult to have a factual debate about it. So lets not pass of opinion as fact.



Would you care to explain this statement?

It is impossible to have a debate on this forum as some of my posts and other peoples posts have been removed and when i try to start one my threads get closed.

I don't understand. How could the Prophets (peace be upon him) instructions to Muslims to be polite, respectful, nonjudgemental (good thing we got snakelegs to remind us of this word everyone seemed to have forgotten) etcetera, be evidence that he wasn't a true Prophet?
I hope that you explain this and if you do, that you don't sidetrack into some other issue.

 

[Ansar Al-'Adl]

I've added the hadith for nonjudgemental and selfcritical.

ansar,
how about "nonjudgemental"?

Thanks for the suggestion snakelegs, I'll use this one but I was hoping there was a word without a negative ('un-', 'non-', etc.). And I've used nouns for the other ones as opposed to adjectives. Maybe there is no other word for it in the english language? :? Someone should definitely invent one.

well, there's always "tolerant" but there really isn't anything wrong with a "non" word.
