My dear brothers and sisters, be aware of the website
htttp://www.submission.org. I spelled http wrong so that a link to it would
not be created. This site contains information that contradicts Islam and is
completely ridiculous. They claim things by altering verses in the Quran and
translating verses COMPLETELLY INCORRECTLY. They go so far as to even claim
that the Shahadah does not include Muhammed ur Rasullullah. What can I say,
Subhanallah. The title states that it is "Your best source for ISLAM
(SUBMISSION) on the Internet " HA!!!, That is not even close to true. If
anyone wants reliable sources, please try www.islam.org or www.islaam.com. I
just wanted to let you know. Also, verify truth for yourselfves. Thank you.
Jazak Allah.
Well, the submission.org website is a site run by khalifites. But still, you
seem to me brother as someone who is very insecure about his own faith. As for
the shahada, where in the Quran does it say that Muhammed's name is in the
shahada? Are you trying the abrogate the Quranic shahada in 3:18?

The truth always hurt. That is why submission.org hurts some people. We can
be more polite amd make political statements to please people but life is short
and there no game to play when it comes to God's message.
We ONLY need to please God FIRST and LAST.
Our site
(1) Advocates the worship of God alone. is this agaist Islam ?
(2) It presents evry issue supported by verses from the Quran , is this
against Islam ?
(3) It advocates loving and respecting the prophet Muhammed by doing like him,
following the Quran ALONE. Is this against Islam ?
(4) It uncovers the corruption that entered Islam through fabricatioins and
lies that filled the Hadiths books. Is this against God and the true Islam ?
(5) It defended Quran against lies by people like Mr. Katz. Is this against
Islam ?
http://www.submission.org/answering-islam-org.htm
(6) It uncovered the false challenge of producing "A sura Like it", see;
http://www.submission.org/challenge.html
(7) Claiming that verses are altered or translated incorrectly is ridiculous
becasue we give the reader the chance to compare four translations on our Quran
page.
http://www.submission.org/Q-browser.html
(8) We did present a long article about the two fasle verses in Sura 9 and
proved their falsehood using the same historical facts that is available to all
the Muslim scholars. In addition we included over 70 mathematical proof why
these historical accounts of these two false verses were true.
http://www.submission.org/tampering.html
(9) The Shahada of God is the first commandment of all the religions of God and
it is "There is no God except the one God". It is completely stated in the
Quran in 3:18, while the shahada of the hypocrites is stated in 63:1 when the
people insisted on adding the name fo Muhammed to it.
Islam with its shahada is older than prophet Muhammed. Did Abraham called on
Muhammed in his shahada or called ONLY on the One God ?
God described His shahada in 3:18 as the shahada of God, the angels and THOSE
WHO POSSESS KNOWLEDGE. This is the shahada that Shahzan does not like. I have
to be either nice to Shahzan and accept his suggested shahada or submit to God
Almighty and accept His Shahada. What would you do if you are in my place. ?
To read more about this shahada see,
http://www.submission.org/download-2.html#La
and also;
http://www.submission.org/true-shahada.html
In any case, we know we love and respect the prophet Muhammed more than those
who only have lip service. We respect him enough to refuse all the
misinformation and lies that filled the books written in his name after his
death. We believe that the intelligent person need to judge for his/herself.
That is what God ordered us in the Quran in 17:36 and for this reason every
intelligent person will visit
to make his/her opinion.
We do not guide anybody. God does.

Unfortunately your site doesn't quite do this. The religion is to be
dedicated absolutely to God alone as per 98:5, yet you have dedicated
sections of your website to portray him as an infallible man. Plus since you
give him the title "God's messenger of the covenant" you are violating
2:285, as you are making a distinction because you give him a title, while
not giving any other messenger a title.

with your childish manipulations.

While Rashad's translation is not influenced by hadith and the theme is
dedicated to God alone, there are some problems. The translation doesn't
always adhere to the literal arabic, it is extremely contextual. Secondly he
inserted his name in parantheses in several verses. A translation is
supposed to be loyal to the original.

I have noticed that fact.
One translation made me in trouble : It is the Word "Hanif".
In the translation it is guiven as "monotheist/monotheism" (2:135,3:67,
3:95,4:125,6:161,..) And i have a question in regard of that !
I am not very fluente in arabic but have read some where that this word
is related to 2 others word, sharing almost the same meaning (ma3na) for
differente purpose. :
1/ JaNaFa
2/ HaNaFa
3/ KHaNaFa
The (scripture) differnece between the three is a diacritique marc.
For the meaning, i have read that the three deal with : (mayl,
i3wijaj,..)
and so on.
For exemple :
- "aKHNafun" is some (mayl) in someone's speach : The Words "derive to"
the Nose when he speak.
- "aJNaF" is some (i3wijaj) in someone's foot !
For the last word (in the same source) i have read that it deals with :
- "mayl" and "inhiraf" in someones conduct.
The author (Dr Mohammed Charhrour) go further and say that in fact
Abraham was HaNiF in that he was the First to discover (21:51) that
Human (as every other earth GOD's creation) "Swings" in their (way of)
life Between some limites ("hudud") Fixed by our Creator !
Many other things can be said about the subject and the author does, but
i want to be short and enought clear (excuse my english!).
Know my question is about the validity in adherence to the literal
arabic
of that !
Thanks in advence !

With all due respect to Dr. Chahrour and brother Khaled, I agree with Dr.
Khalifa's translation of Hanif as "monotheist" in the contextual sense. For a
non-Arab, a new comer to Arabic, or even an uneducated Arab the classical
language presents many tricky problems. People think that they can look at the
root of the word, take any derived meaning they see fit, and apply it in any
context. This is not a multiple choice exam. The Qur'an is clear in that it
explains itself for those who care to study it.
The word Hanif is definitely from the root "HNF" but that does not mean that
every derived meaning is contextualy correct wherever we find it. A person
whose foot is inverted is called "ahnaf" but it is not the same as hanif. I
don't know where Dr. Chahrour came up with this "First to discover that Human
"Swings" in their (way of) life Between some limites ("hudud") Fixed by our
Creator." But here is my take on the word, which is usually translated as
upright.
The original meaning of the word Hanif is one who is inclined to the right
state or tendency. But almost every time the Qur'an described Abraham with the
word Hanif it followed by "wa maa kaan minal mushrikeen." or "He was never one
of the idolators." The expression complements the word Hanif and explains its
true meaning. One who is not an idolator is Hanif. In English the word is
Monotheist, believing in One God.
Both prophet Muhammad and the rest of us are commanded by God to follow the
Millat of Abraham by being "Hunafa'". Where do you think the nickname Abu
Hanifa came from? He upheld the Qur'an, rejected injected hadith, and was
persecuted for it. But later they attributed a whole madh-hab to him as part of
the 4 schools of thought in the Sunni sect. Ironic! I can think of Abu Hanifa
as the father of the original Khawarij who rebelled against unfounded hadith
and sunnah and upheld only the Qur'an. I'm not sure if the Kharijites of Oman
and Tunisia today follow the same or not. It's worth investigating. Anyone who
knows more about them is welcome to e-mail me or brother Omar
<in...@q-zone.com>. We have been looking for a complete history of the
Kharijites, but it is nill so far because history is written by those who
annihilated them.
I don't know why....probably because it doesn't fit in with his ridiculous
scientific miracle of the Quran....
Asif
Comment :-
I think we ought to go by the significance of words rather than their
literal meanings.
The word Hanif is being used to refer to one who is by nature (in his very
being, not just in thought) upright who does not worship or subordinate
himself (in thought, feeling, motives or actions) to any object or creature,
or anyhing lessthan Allah. It refers to :-
"Then set your purpose for religion as a man upright by nature - the nature
made by Allah in which He has made men; there is no altering (the laws of)
Allah's creation; that is the right religion, but most people do not know
tTurning to Him only, and be careful of your duty to Him and keep up prayer
and be not of those who ascribe partners to Him (polytheists), of those who
split their religion and became schismatics, every sect rejoicing in its own
tenets." 30:30-32
Also :-
"Say: As for me, my Lord has guided me unto the Straight Way, a right
religion, the faith of Abraham, the upright, for he was not of the idolaters.
Say: Verily, my worship and my sacrifice, and my living and my dying belong to
Allah, the Lord of the Worlds. He has no partner. This I am commanded, and I
am foremost of those who surrender (unto Him)" 6:162-164
There is a distinction between submitters (muslims), believers (mumins) (see
49:14) and hanifs.

I guess you should know why. Something this serious should be investigated.
Have you done your home work.?
(1) Do you know that the Mathematical Miracle of the Quran can completely be
perfect without the deletion of these two verses. Many of the people,
ignorant with the miracle parrot what other people say and claim the deletion
of these two verses was to make the miracle work. FALSE.
(2) Do you know that Dr. Khalifa was not the one who claimed these two verses
are addition to the Quran, but it is written in many of the Islamic History
books 1000 of years befor Dr. Khalifa was even born.
(3) Do you know the last two verses in Sura 9 are the only two verses in the
Quran marked wrongly to be Meccan verses when they shuld have been Medina
verses if they were true.
(4) Do you know that the writers of the Quran could not find these two verses
except with one man. The rule was for the collection of the Quran, the verse
should be found with at LEAST two men. When a verse found with Omar Ibhn Al
Khattab and not with any one else it was rejected. But 9:128-129 have a story
that you should study.
and many others.
Do not get too excited. Do not parrot what others do. There is over 70 proofs
that these two verses never belonged to the Quran. See our file at;
http://www.submission.org/tampering.html
You are free to believe them or not. God made them available for you and you
make your mind on your own.
About this ridiculous scientific mathematical miracle as you call it. God
called it "One of the great miracles in 74:35 (7+4+3+5=),. so who cares how you
see it.
http://www.submission.org/miracle/
Pharaoh laughed at Moses miracle and called it names like you did, but God
Almighty called it "CLEAR PROOF". When you see it laughable or ridiculous it
was not meant for you, and God knows best WHY?!

Mr AltWay,
My english is not good enought to express my self easelly.
My dictionnary says about UPRIGHT :
1/ Of moral excellence
2/ Erect in posture
And really i do not found "Wajhu chabah" between this meaning and the
arabic
word it is supposed to translate "Hanif".
The second thing i want to ask you is if the tafassir had not guiven
this
meaning wich is close to yours, would you ritch this conclusion about
it's
significance in the Quran ?

In this verse Mr AltWay, Your interpretation "obliged" you to add [(the
laws of)]
and you know that in the Arabic text there is nothing of this.
Dr Chahrur explanation tally exactelly with the verse without adding
any (human) words.
Human [MEN] are created like this; they are simply "Hanif" by Nature
from
their Mother's (Batn?). And no One can change That.
And you no enought the Human nature that it can NOT Upright and Strait
by
Nature !
They do mistakes, they forgot, they loose concentration, they grow up,
they change (evolve), they...and so on. And do not forget that God is
talking about (Annass) MEN and that HE tell us there is no altering of
that.
Mr AltWay; if MEN were UPRIGHT By nature do you think that God need
to send Us some Warner and Messager to Show us HIS "Huddud". If
We Go (by nature) Strait It will never happen that we Derive to
some BORSERS (Hudud).
Some concepts are PRIMORDIAL to study in the BOOK of God:
- The Straits Path (attariku al_mustakim)
- The "Hanafa"
- The BORDERS or LIMITS (Al-Hudud)

That's your complete right Mr Alburhaan.
To agree or not agree with a humanbeing opinion is in our freedom and
responsability accorded by God.

I Agree mainlly. But at a certain point. Knowing the rules of
construction of
the language is not easy but Arabic language make sens.
For instance the basic and essential rule is :
"Al_Kalamu Khidmun lil_ma3na"
> People think that they can look at the
> root of the word, take any derived meaning they see fit, and apply it in any
> context.
I don't Know too much about this kind of people.
I know just that in Arabic as almost all human language :
"A Word is created to represent a specific and unique "Ma3na".
After that people use it to "mean" or cover other purpose. So One
word can and Have in fact many "meaning" with the newer known as
"Majazi" !
The more important here as Al_Jurjani said in his book "Al_Khassaiss" is
It is not possible to a Word to get or guive a Better meanning as
another
One which was PUT(Wudhi3at) for that specific purpose.
More shortelly that means that the "Mutaradifat" concept is false.
And so this MUST be taken into account When reading the BOOK.
Wich was writen in a language "Mubiin" and you know i guess from
wich Assl came this word and what it means.

For this point you should search to understand the two Words :
Rattil and Atlu.

Agree Totally !

Agree Totally for the first part more or less with the second.
> One who is not an idolator is Hanif. In English the word is

According to the Arabic grammar I do not agree with you.
The sentence(s) would better say :
He is Hanif BUT not an idolator,
would less support your :
He is not an idolator ===> He is Hanif.
You guive a translation : Monotheiste. I wonder if you could
tell me if there is another word in arabic wich hold this meaning.

We are not JUST commanded brother borhaan God created us with this

It is in that, We virtually and From our birth (even we knew no thing !)

I don't know About tunisian khawaridj maybe you mean todays Algeria ?!
For instance a very famous region in Algeria in the desert "Wadi Mizab",
is a place where 7 senven Town are composed from descendant of Rustumide
Dynasty and are actually said following "Ibadhi" madhhab !
You can search about them. They have very famous scholar and mufassir

and there are therefore, three kinds of persons :-
the submitters, the believers and the upright (muslims, mumins and hanifs).
regarding submitters read 49:14; regarding believers read 9:111;

It is a good practice to concider the way it is used in "the Book".
But i think that before that, Adherence to the arabic "Lissan" is
fondamental.
When reading some ones "Ta'will" i have found that forgetting this
condition and building our "Idjtihad" on JUST the context of the
verse can led to curious result.

My question was clear, and i considere even if i belive that "Al-Quranu

I considere (and correct me if i am wrong) that a "Upright" person IS
(among
other thing) NOT a "mushrik". And when i read this two "MustalaH"
folowing
each other at any time in the Quran, I think that Dr Mohammed Chahrur
