In Bible versus Quran: the Heavens are stretched like a Curtain
Posted by admin in Uncategorized on January 19th, 2010
The Wind in Bible versus Quran (2) This is the second article of the series:” The Wind in Bible versus Quran”. The Bible says that the Almighty Creator 1) made the Winds His Angels, 2) His servants are flames of fire, 3) He has chariot, 4) He walks on the wings of wind and 5) He made the earth never moves etc. The Noble Quran says that Naught is as Allah’s likeness in attributes. Any form, picture, thoughts that you put the Almighty Creator in it is absolutely mistaken. =============================== The Wind in the Bible (2) In Psalm 104:1-8, Kind David says: “Bless Jehovah, O my soul. O Jehovah my God, thou art very great; You are clothed with honor and majesty: Who covers himself with light as with a garment; Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain; Who lays the beams of his chambers in the waters; Who makes the clouds his chariot; Who walks upon the wings of the wind; Who makes winds his Angels; Flames of fire his servants; Who set the foundations of the earth, that it should not be moved for ever. You cover it with the deep as with vesture; the waters stood above the mountains. At thy rebuke they fled; At the voice of your thunder they hasted away. They flowed over the mountains; they went down into the valleys, to the place you assigned for them. ” —————————- Herein, there are some important points: 1) The Bible describes the lord God, the Almighty Creator as: He has clothes He covers himself with light as with a garment He stretches out the heavens like a curtain He lays the beams of his chambers in the waters His chariot is made of clouds He walks upon the wings of the wind He makes winds his Angels His servants are flames of fires He set the foundations of the earth His voice is the thunder 2) The Bible says that the earth has foundations and it should not be moved for ever. 3) The speed of the Lord God was that of the wind. 4) The wind has wings! Moreover, there are some discrepancies in the translation of some words in the many versions of the Bible e. g. : In some Bible’s versions, the word “Angel” is translated to “messenger”. In some Bible’s versions, the word “wind” is translated to “spirit”. In some Bible’s versions, the word “curtain” is translated to “tent”. —————————- On the other hand, all of the above points are ABSOLUTELY rejected in the Noble Quran because: 1) The Noble Quran says that Naught is as Allah’s likeness in attributes. Any form, picture, thoughts that you put the Almighty Creator in it is absolutely wrong. 2) The Almighty Creator is not a body 3) The thunder is not the voice of the Almighty Creator. 4) When the Almighty Creator decides upon a matter, when He wants to do anything, He only says to it ‘Be!’ and it is. 5) The speed of the Lord God was that of the wind; for instance, does not He know the speed of the light? However, Naught is as Allah’s likeness in attributes. 6) The wind has no wings! 7) the Angels are created from the Pure Light. 
the Angels are the servants of the Almighty Creator and they never disobey Him. 9) The earth has No foundations and it is rounded and it moves 10) The Great Prophet King David can not say that about the Almighty Creator simply because he knows better who Allah is. —————————- Aside from the Bible and the Quran, boys in schools know very well that the earth moves and it has two types of movements: the first one is around the sun at about 100,000 km/h. It takes 365 days (1 year/12 months) for the Earth to complete one revolution around the Sun. and the other around itself. It takes 24 hours for the earth to spin around itself. These two movements are responsible for the seasonal changes and the day and night respectively. I really do not believe that the Lord God or King David says that the earth foundations and it should not be moved for ever. . ——————————————————————————————- Psalm 104:1-8 in three different versions of the Bible: New International Version 1 Praise the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, you are very great; you are clothed with splendor and majesty. 2 He wraps himself in light as with a garment; he stretches out the heavens like a tent 3 and lays the beams of his upper chambers on their waters. He makes the clouds his chariot and rides on the wings of the wind. 4 He makes winds his messengers, flames of fire his servants. 5 He set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved. 6 You covered it with the deep as with a garment; the waters stood above the mountains. 7 But at your rebuke the waters fled, at the sound of your thunder they took to flight; 8 they flowed over the mountains, they went down into the valleys, to the place you assigned for them. King James Version 1Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. 2Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: 3Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind: 4Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire: 5Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever. 6Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains. 7At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away. 8They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them. Young’s Literal Translation 1Bless, O my soul, Jehovah! Jehovah, my God, Thou hast been very great, Honour and majesty Thou hast put on. 2Covering himself [with] light as a garment, Stretching out the heavens as a curtain, 3Who is laying the beam of His upper chambers in the waters, Who is making thick clouds His chariot, Who is walking on wings of wind, 4Making His messengers — the winds, His ministers — the flaming fire. 5He hath founded earth on its bases; It is not moved to the age and for ever. 6The abyss! as with clothing Thou hast covered it, Above hills do waters stand. 7From Thy rebuke they flee, From the voice of Thy thunder haste away. 8They go up hills — they go down valleys, Unto a place Thou hast founded for them. =============================== The Wind in the Noble Quran (2) In this article, the following three points will be discussed: 1) The Historical destructive wind as a Punishment for the disbelievers of the Ancient nation of Aad 2) What if Allah wants to do anything? 3) The Precious verse (faith-wise) of the Quran that describes the Almighty Creator ——————————————————————————————- 1) The Historical destructive wind as a Punishment for the disbelievers of the Ancient nation of Aad. Verses 69:4-8 of the Noble Quran describe this destructive wind! Historical Background: Aad was an ancient nation. Aad nation is always mentioned in the Noble Quran as a nation that came after Noah. Allah sent his Prophet Hud to the people of Aad; some of them believed and many of them disbelieved. Allah punished the disbelievers of Aad by the wind and He saved the believers. The people of Aad were famous by their outstanding might. It is said that Aad nation lived at the south of Saudi Arabia, nearby Yemen. The Prophet Hud was Arabic. The nation of Aad and the Prophet Hud are not mentioned in the Bible. Thamud was an ancient nation. Thamud nation came after the nation of Aad; it is always mentioned in the Noble Quran as a nation that came after Aad. Allah sent his Prophet Salih to the people of Thamud; some of them believed and many of them disbelieved. Allah punished the disbelievers of Thamud when they killed the Camel which was the miracle of the Prophet Salih who warned his people not to hurt that Camel and they agreed but they never kept their word. The miraculous Camel emerged from a big rock and it has no father and no mother; it came out as an intact adult Camel following Allah’s will when He says to anything He wants: Be! And it is. The people of Aad were famous by the might and transgression. It is said that Aad nation lived at the northern part of Saudi Arabia, nearby Yemen. The nation of Thamud is too not mentioned in the Bible may be because the Prophet Salih was Arabic too. —————————- The meanings of verses 69:4-8 Verses 69:4 The nation of Thamud and the nation of Aad both disbelieved in the Resurrection to come and they denied their Prophets and refuted the Day of Judgment. Verses 69:5 As for Thamud, they were destroyed by the overwhelming Roar, an excessively severe shout of the Angel Gabriel. They were destroyed because of their transgression and idolatry; and it is said that their transgression drove them to disbelieve until they were destroyed. Verses 69:6 And as for Aad, they were destroyed by a fierce roaring wind. The wind was deafening, intensely clamorous, violent wind, [that was] powerful and severe [in its assault] upon Aad, despite their power and might. Verses 69:7 Allah forced and imposed that wind upon them uninterruptedly for seven nights and eight days with the same force so that you might have seen the people therein lying prostrate, lying dead on the ground, as if they were the hollow, collapsed, trunks of palm-trees. Verses 69:8 So do you O Muhammad see any remnant of them? Do you see one remaining?’ No! —————————- Verses 69:4-8 of the Noble Quran in four different translations: Verses 69:4 QARIB: Thamood and Aad belied the clatterer. SHAKIR: Samood and ad called the striking calamity a lie PICKTHAL: (the tribes of) Thamud and Aad disbelieved in the judgment to come. YUSUFALI: the Thamud and the ‘ad people (branded) as false the stunning calamity! Verses 69:5 QARIB: Thamood, they were destroyed by the violent shout (of Gabriel), SHAKIR: then as to Samood, they were destroyed by an excessively severe punishment PICKTHAL: as for Thamud, they were destroyed by the lightning. YUSUFALI: but the Thamud, - they were destroyed by a terrible storm of thunder and lightning! Verses 69:6 QARIB: as for Aad, they were destroyed by a howling, violent wind SHAKIR: and as to ad, they were destroyed by a roaring, violent blast PICKTHAL: and as for Aad, they were destroyed by a fierce roaring wind, YUSUFALI: and the ‘ad, they were destroyed by a furious wind, exceedingly violent; Verses 69:7 QARIB: that he subjected upon them for seven nights and eight days consecutively and you might have seen them struck down as if they were the stumps of palm trees that had fallen down. SHAKIR: which he made to prevail against them for seven nights and eight days unremittingly, so that you might have seen the people therein prostrate as if they were the trunks of hollow palms PICKTHAL: which he imposed on them for seven long nights and eight long days so that thou mightest have seen men lying overthrown, as they were hollow trunks of palm-trees. YUSUFALI: he made it rage against them seven nights and eight days in succession: so that thou couldst see the (whole) people lying prostrate in its (path), as they had been roots of hollow palm-trees tumbled down! Verses 69:8 QARIB: can you see any remnant of them now? SHAKIR: do you then see of them one remaining? PICKTHAL: canst thou (O Muhammad) see any remnant of them? YUSUFALI: then seest thou any of them left surviving? ——————————————————————————————- 2) What if Allah wants to do anything? Verse 36: 82 says: QARIB: when he wills a thing, his command is to say to it ‘be’, and it is! SHAKIR: his command, when he intends anything, is only to say to it: be, so it is PICKTHAL: but his command, when he intendeth a thing, is only that he saith unto it: be! and it is. YUSUFALI: verily, when he intends a thing, his command is, “be”, and it is! The meanings of the verse: His command, His affair, when He wills a thing, that is, [when He will] to create something, or to do anything is just to say to it ‘Be’, and it is. ——————————————————————————————- 3) The Precious verse (faith-wise) of the Quran that describes the Almighty Creator Verse 42: 11 says QARIB: the originator of the heavens and the earth, he has given you from yourselves, pairs, and also pairs of cattle, thereby multiplying you. there is nothing like him. he is the hearer, the seer. SHAKIR: the originator of the heavens and the earth; he made mates for you from among yourselves, and mates of the cattle too, multiplying you thereby; nothing like a likeness of him; and he is the hearing, the seeing PICKTHAL: the creator of the heavens and the earth. he hath made for you pairs of yourselves, and of the cattle also pairs, whereby he multiplieth you. naught is as his likeness; and he is the hearer, the seer. YUSUFALI: (he is) the creator of the heavens and the earth: he has made for you pairs from among yourselves, and pairs among cattle: by this means does he multiply you: there is nothing whatever like unto him, and he is the one that hears and sees (all things). The meanings of the verse: He (Allah) is the Originator of the heavens and the earth, the One Who created them [without precedent]. He has made for you, from your own selves, pairs, when He created Eve from Adam’s rib, and [also] pairs, males and females, of the cattle and whereby He multiplies you through marriage. There is nothing like Him; there is no likeness of Him, exalted be He). He is the Hearer, of what you say, the Seer, of your works. Naught is as His likeness in attributes, knowledge, power and providence etc. The basic point of faith is that Naught is as your Almighty creator. Since man is a creature which has Spirit that gives him like; and since Naught is as the likeness of your Creator, then the Almighty Creator has NO SPIRIT. Hence, the Almighty Creator is not a body or material like us. Any form, picture or thoughts that you put the Almighty Creator in it is absolutely wrong. According to the Islamic Rule of Faith, if any one put the Almighty Creator in any form, picture or thoughts, he or she is Disbeliever and has No faith; and he will end up in the Hereafter as a dweller of the Eternal Fire. This is in spite of what name(s) you are giving to your Almighty Creator e. g. Allah, Lord, God, Jehovah etc. On the other hand, the vice versa is absolutely True! ======================== Back to my question to the smart and interested reader: Is the Quran quoted from the Bible?
Pulling Back The Curtain Of Black Slavery
Posted by admin in Uncategorized on October 3rd, 2009
Read the note before I go to my article, a word to anyone who can read this article, I'm not racial in the least. I love all creeds and races that Heavenly Father has created. My intention is to put a small article about slavery and why it began, the mentality of some people. In this case, the use of certain words or phrases to speak like the way they are for or expand my perspective, it is assumed that any act was done. Thanks for your understanding. Word of thanks special thanks to Mr. Alex Haley in his book and movie Roots, that gives us a deep understanding of what happened at the time. Also for all other slaves from Africa / movies I've seen similar injustice, Sarafina, Chaka Zulu, Friendship, etc. This is how I wrote the following article. Sense of slavery is forced labor in which he is considered the property of another person. You will not be entitled from the day they were captured or sold. We do not expect any compensation sought (wage / price). The curtains of Black slavery as I take this opportunity to draw the curtains of slavery. Slavery was born because of racism, some people have learned that it was better than some, for some reason, I never could understand. I know that if I cut a Black or white, I would get the same color blood. We all use the restroom, our mothers do the same things in the hospital or nursing homes to deliver. We all get the same diseases, breathing the same breath that God gave us, and when you take it, goes to the earth or ashes. We die and leave everything behind. I've never seen a white man to sail after the death of balloons. I never knew you never use the toilets / bathrooms, and have not seen green, yellow or orange flow of blood in his veins. So what's the difference? It looked like this: "I'm white you're black," "my hair is long and soft copy is short and hard (tic tac). We are eagles (white) is flying high and that dogs (black) that feed on the scum of the earth. I see these ships look like dots in the sea, sailing across the ocean for many miles of miles on the captain of a pipe in his mouth. Whistling at intervals, as he gave special attention to your card. As a team of drunken, laughing and talking with each other. Dramatize the horror of how blacks and discuss how the fear of seeing their rifles, some of them have never had the slightest idea what to expect, so they were to get all the specific details so that they can be prepared. The ship finally sailed and anchored in small boats to catch their slaves. Land Oh, no! Land Oh! They shouted. Now they have set foot on the sands of Africa. Adj Close guns are hands. Ready to point and shoot any unexpected visitor who might try to interfere in them. This work was a job in itself because it was a foreign land. So I sought help. Guess who helped kidnap chose his prey? It's the same people in Africa who helped them, just to save himself from going on board. Fluent in small huts grab children, some parents left behind. Draw like bundles of grass. In this case, many older people do not need when you're old, you have all tried aches and pains, with the elderly was a risk, the young blood and veins, that is they had to work hard. The black people can listen to mourn screaming until their throats collected packages, kicking and dragging in the hope that somehow these people (whites) feel their pain and their cargoes. They knew that this was only the "white" angry. What makes them increasingly brutal in their thinking, the application of cruel thoughts in your mind of what will be done with these no good, let the human being. They were crammed into ships like sardines, canned, and went to shoot waiting ships. The sounds of chains rattling is heard around the vessels. Tucked into small huts jammed so close I can feel the warmth of someone blowing over. Looking around in amazement, wondering why this happened? Where are they? But no one will give a reply or comfort. All I could do was mourn and sing in their mother tongue. That song did not last long as their owners have begun the task of beating, burning some of them had no toilets / bathrooms for use. How the white captain and his team use the same dirty toilet with these people? That would never come, so he had no choice but to mess on themselves, creating a stench remains very fowl around them. Such was the state would remain for months, until they are down. Rotten food was launched as if they were animals. You could say that the food was almost nothing that fought each other, for him, because they were hungry and angry. Is not it these same people it had captured those who wanted to work day and night on their plantations? Yes, certainly. So how do you expect to work while beat them mercilessly and escarpments gave them very little to eat, not weaken every time you have? Yes, indeed. Many times they were not beaten because he was working because of the cruelty and the pleasure of having laughed at what they're yelling and screaming. I call it a sport to be seen. They rarely stay long in a plantation of a big guy with a lot of money came in, and buy them, have even been auctioned as furniture and car. But even without remorse smile slaveholders no teeth with her lips parted, enjoying every moment. While slaves were sold and will work much harder, slave masters were richer. Blacks in the past has called us, we still hear sometimes, but is derived from we call people black. Could anyone tell me what is the meaning of "color"? I know that white and black are the colors. Nigger was the wrong word to make you feel low and dirty, imagine seeing a big man who sometimes more than the owner of slaves and be called, "Come here boy," Do you hear me boy. The humiliation and contempt that goes with it was just too heavy to carry. One reason for the lack of respect for someone because they do not care about you. But they just want you around to do the dirty work. Women enslaved as tough as men without mercy was granted, if you weigh or not a child who has been in these areas, and his footwork and hands until they were mounted arrow and swollen, bleeding times, never had a season to them and their work, whether rain, snow fell and the sun gave the heat can melt. They had to work, it was as if they had signed a contract that his firm is not on. Small dilapidated houses is where we let the "blacks" stay as they stay on the porch of their large houses to see the scenery was beautiful underneath them while sipping hot tea. "Blacks", the hard work for them, work, employment, unpaid work. Late at night you would see black families headed for a cabin there for a little rest or to eat something small. Sometimes there were many in this small place. Asked how prepared. The ladies in black who worked in the houses of slave owners. My God were even more difficult to make, cook, wash, scrub, sweep, dust, and operate on a heel when I called Missy. Make sure you are right when you call, or be flogged to death. Black women who worked all day in the kitchen to prepare meals for guests in white, so it was not allowed to eat the other things they have done only good to see how it tasted. If you were caught stealing little gifts Nick, who was in great difficulties. I must say that whites were very brave to eat the same people I've met wicked beasts. Are not you afraid that you cook poisoned? Or is it so hard that you had never entered his consciousness? Life was very important for black people coming out of the house there is land in Africa. Without knowing exactly where they were an audience of little more than they are in the land of the United States or England. So many thoughts flooded his mind, how the house is very far from here? How can I return safely? Do you ketch me? The desire to return home, but how dare the owners of slaves and there are people hanging on the back. Even if one or both may be trying to escape, ended up being worse than if they stayed. Hunting / sniffer dogs were sent there after the presence has been reported as absent. Many lost their hands, feet and dog bites were all over there bodies. Now remember if they tried to escape he was considered a criminal, a traitor and ungrateful for what they do not know. Mankind has made for liberty, not the treatment of animals. The man was never going to be caged or being under the dictatorship of these rules or orders of the man / men / women. Anyone who is in a situation like that want freedom. Many were afraid of dying if they have never tried to escape, life has been accepted as is. Very few stood up to them and what rights are acquired in exchange for a few shots from a firearm or shopping as if it came in vogue. Flogging made horizontal and diagonal patterns on their bodies. So bad that after a while tears were not of use. The black people who have grown old and died of other generations arose. A mentality of work we do, work to death or to obtain freedom was instilled. If the "black" people was very low sales. I, as much if I could get some answers from the masters of slaves. It's too late and they are all dead. How to sleep with "black women"? You are treated like rotting garbage, but do not let your Sweet Little Missy White to sleep with a woman in black. Mari was there and saw the wife / girlfriend is pulled by the hair, teeth and fists clenched in movement to fight. But looking at his right and left, men with guns or ill dogs, hoping now to make a gesture of tearing. While writing my mind back I can hear the screams and agony of those women who were raped and beaten up if they fought. It was as if they had no feelings for their part, do what your teacher said in a whisper. Just go with the flow. I still can not understand who would want to sleep with dirt. Black babies for many at that time had white parents and has never met. I guess he misses even knew they were stepchildren. Living a life where everything you know is working after work, little time for rest, and if you have some free time, you should always be alert to some strange happenings disease. These same people who have been treated worse than dogs, were the same people who kept the slave owners and their families. If not for them worked during the day and night areas, how can earn money and be rich. However, these people failed to thank him, that was as predestined their work and they had to do, no matter what. Treaties hard life, but in general people who were strong never give up. The sample resistance was something that grew in them every day. After a while it did almost nothing for them. This desire for liberty burning in the interior, when you want to be able to go out alone? , Doing normal things, like white. Praying and singing, making a joyful noise in the Lord. Knowing that one day would be free to tell the story. After many years a British Abolition Act was about to end the slave trade. The costs were responsible for these masters of the slaves who had been caught with slaves £ 100 per person. If a captain and his crew had the slightest hint of the sea, while his vessel was detained by the Navy. Some black people could be thrown overboard to help reduce the tax. Special thanks to those who have focused on the law of slavery to be arrested, even if they are deceased. Thank you for being inspired by a good deed. Although slavery ended, there are still some in our modern lives in servitude around the world, working and praying every day that they are finally free. Do not worry, it comes only a short time. God created all men equal opportunities, we love them all the same, irrespective of creed, color or race. He gave us all free will and the right to freedom from the beginning. Mankind was born to be free, but because of sin in Eden, that has changed. Who has caused the whites to do what he did years ago. Please remember that God loves evil and every evil work, not go unpunished. Let us, because we all need each other at some point in our lives. We will learn to be altruistic, one day you could be in trouble and could be someone you hate or discrimination, in this era. I'm sure you do not want anyone to walk and let die. Thanks for reading!
