I call it a sign (the other thing was just an attention getter). The thing i called a sign was more like "i felt like i was born again-the day i hoped God existed (and hoped He wasn't Jesus pbuh-i didn't know at that point but i began to pray to Him, bc if He existed, He would hear me). Then i felt born again, again. Lol. These were my feelings but i had never felt them before these 2 incidents, i mean the feeling of feeling born again, that had never happened before. The second time i really believed "there is a God, He's not Jesus pbuh, He's higher." God confirmed to me personally "what you think is correct." I found it in the Bible about God and Jesus pbuh being separate. At that point i knew the Pastors, especially the ones telling me not to read the Quran, were ignorant and had no idea. How God confirmed to me "yes what you hoped for that day, and what you believed that day-I exist, it's correct," well it's besides the point. God confirmed "what you think is correct, I'm high above Jesus." He confirmed it by confirming i really was born again somehow those days. i didn't pray the right prayers or know God was Allah till months later (but i atleast believed He's God, He's the First, and He's not Jesus pbuh (Jesus pbuh was not the first), but He's the God of Jesus Christ pbuh. I had that basic down in 2014. Then i read the Bible looking for it, and found it enough where i researched the Quran. One thing was people were wishing me happy birthday on those days, and it wasn't my physical birthday lol. (Someone mistook it for my physical birthday and randomly said happy birthday-this may not feel like a big deal to others, but it made research and investigate what i felt). The first time i just knew i was born again (that day i started to pray to God, not Jesus). The second time someone literally told me "happy birthday" and it wasn't my physical birthday. There were many things like that getting my attention. I was forced to think "i received the right concept these days-God is above Jesus pbuh."

Can you or anyone tell me more about the Holy Spirit? (About Gabriel). You know Christian churches try to say the Holy Spirit was COeternal with God WHICH IS NOT TRUE, and the prefix "co" shows it's not true. Allah said in the Quran there were no others, but only Him (there was no other to rival Him etc, none who existed then). Allah said He was the only one with no beginning, and said there's none like Him. I don't know chapters and verses numbers memorized yet, but i studied the fundamental verses. Anyways what Christian pastors call the Holy Spirit is their made up idea, and isn't the same thing as Islam anyways.

:sl: Sister,

After the end of this world NONE will exist including Gabriel A.s and the soul snatcher Israeel A.S and Allah will ask , kindly read post # 21 here

http://www.islamicboard.com/manners-and-purification-of-the-soul/134320481-love-allah-swt-2.html



Post # 11 & 12 has some more related info on Gabriel A.S
http://www.ummah.com/forum/showthre...acles-of-Prophet-Muhammad-(peace-be-upon-him)

Another Incident was when the Brave warrior Hamza R.A ,uncle of Prophet :saws: INSISTED on seeing Angel Gabriel inspite of refusal of Prophet :saws: and so Prophet:saws: prayed that let his uncle be shown Gabriel and Prophet :saws:told Hamza R.A to watch over the Kaaba and he sighted the dramatic Light and fell unconscious.If Gabriel was such how great Should Allah be. When its said in hadiths that the Parents of reciters & Followers of the Noble Quran wil honoured on the Day of Judgement ( DOJ) with a Crown that's brighter than the sun , that confused me .

But when I see this hadith of Hamza R.A it made me understand that and also when I researched on Astronomy ( Allah insists us to research in the Noble Quran) I found star Polaris (or some other star i forgot the name ) is 2000 times brighter than the Sun. So How bright could Allah be ???

when Prophet :saws: said something like when he ascended the 7 skies in the night of Isra (Noble Quran) the honoured companionship of Arch Angel Gabriel and after a boundary Gabriel refused to go with him CITING he does not have permission to go closer to Allah than this or he will be burned leaving Prophet :saws: to proceed on his own. We might wonder how could Prophet :saws: can do that . This is what a Human is rewarded for his TEST OF THIS LIFE , he is honored more than angels. The fact is All prophets were given the strength of about 30 men (hadith). So even then Prophet :saws: was seen to profusely sweat EVEN ON A CHILLY DAY when angel Gabriel descended with a revelation of Noble Quran from THE MOST GREATEST , Allah , the Creator.

I shall attend your other posts as soon am Free , Inshallah (Allah willingly)

Hi I'm in America. I want to go to a mosque but don't have a car anymore. Can any Muslims tell me about your worships? I know they're on Fridays, I'd like to know what they preach about.

If you want further advice or guidance towards which books to begin with get back to me insha'allah Sis.
 
Thank you all. I've been covering my head for prayer times of course-but does a female in Islam only need to cover her head when a male is present? I mean if there's just females around is it ok to have your head uncovered?

Yes, when there are females around its ok keep the head uncovered. Also its not a MUST in presence of Maghram (not permitted to marry)men like Father,, brother, son, uncle, father in Law . But even in front if you keep covered that will attain piety.

We see Mary A.S is covered that's how Islam is

Even when God gave me a couple signs, i still didn't know who God was or what God's name was. One just got my attention. The other just indicated "God does exist (and He's not Jesus pbuh). I still didn't have faith till i saw the science in the Quran.

23 chromosomes of male and female
The word man is used 23 times and the word woman is used 23 times in the Quran.
The Bee is the 16th chapter
Bees have 16 chromosomes
The orbit period of Venus and Mars was indicated in the Quran
But when i saw the verse "We sent down iron" and read about it coming from space, not originating on earth-then i had faith in the Quran knowing the whole book was bound by the #19 and from the same prophet. The 2 signs i saw didn't give me faith nor did it let me know who God was, but it let me know the Christian pastors were lying when they said Jesus pbuh is The God. I mean in my situation i thought i would have gone to hell for looking at one verse of the Quran, my ex pastor basically told me that. God got my attention and basically communicated to me "I do exist, I'm not Jesus. Look at the texts, not what the pastors say-they don't know anything, they don't know about me." God showed me He existed in 2014-i still had no idea who He was or His name or anything. All i knew was "ok He's not Jesus." That was the extent of my knowledge through the "sign."

Islam is not science or based on science but Science can help us in our Eeman as Quran tells us to ponder over Allah's creation's to understand the SUPERMOST MIGHT of Allah. So all these Telescopes, Microscopes etc, products of sceince only helps us to fullfill the order of Allah to PONDER over his creations Similarly science also proves Prophesies of Noble Quran when Allah says we have been given only little knowledge about the soul or spirit of us since Science in spite of 10,000 folds of development still is unable to know about the soul as the per the challenge of Allah untill now

BUT Do Not Take Science as the only aspect to bring Eeman because science is fallible always changing even some modern concepts about health, coffee is good ? not good ? Now there is nothing called bad cholesterol etc etc (was moon landing a fake ? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencete...s-baffled.html etc ) but ALLAH' s QURAN is the ''SAME' untill the day of judgement.

Caliph Ali (ra) said something like this we did 'ma'sah ( rubbing wet hands ) in case we wore leather socks on the top portion ( toes untill ankle) ONLY because we saw Prophet(sal) doing that if I ask my intelligence or conscience I would prefer doing ma'sah the under part of it.''

This shows something in Islam may not be scientific too but we follow them like the rituals of haj etc.

Is pork kind of like the tree of knowledge of good and evil as in "you may eat all these trees but one?" (Like you may eat all these animals (foods) but one-but there's lots of animals we wouldn't eat anyways I'm sure).
 
I just want to live as long as i can-to do my job I'm put on earth to do-that's why i don't smoke cigarettes, that's why i stopped eating pork, and that's why i stay away from alcohol (it's not worth the risk of getting addicted-you could be addicted many years and lose everything you have, etc).
 
Alhamdullillah for that sister
Thanks for sharing this good news with us
May Allah help you to do more and more and grant us Jan nah
Amen
 
Grammatically in Arabic is "the holy spirit" rather "the spirit of the holy" (like meaning the slave of Allah-the spirit who is property of Allah)? So the holiness came from God and is rather an attribute of Allah? Rather holiness is attributed to Allah?
