“This is complete nonsense. The physics uses tensor mathematics to describe everything. Where is that mentioned in your book??”
Answer: I am speaking about the scientific facts, not about the method of describing everything, be it tensor math or otherwise? The Quran gives scientific data and leaves the way for us to discover and confirm them by any means suitable. It is not a scientific book in the first place; rather it is a book of guidance, but for people to take the guidance in it with assured minds and hearts and to be convinced about its divinity, Allah includes such references as a way of authentication and verification.
“So pls show link how clay and man are the same, DNA and chemical breakdown etc. ;P”
Answer: what is meant by “ man was made of clay” is Adam as the first human being. The reproduction of his offspring is through sperm. See what the Bible says:
“The LORD God formed the man [a] from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.” [Genesis 2:7 (New International Version)]
“lol - Mesopotamia, give up. Those who believe don't need proof. Those who don't believe aren't looking for proof. You're wasting your time.”
Answer: no my friend, all of us need proofs: for the believers to strengthen their belief, for those who don’t believe to be informed and not argue on the Day of Judgement saying: “I haven’t been told of this and I had no idea,” and for the searcher of truth to find the way to salvation. And it is also a duty on every Muslim to inform non Muslims and guide them, as it is an obligation which must be fulfilled. So why should I give up? It is a matter of showing people the way to Paradise, not a contest or war in which one must be victorious and one loser. Rather, it is for all parties to live in peace and win God’s pleasure.
“Mesoptamia: Why do you think that only the Qur'an brings some scientific revelations? The bible also made references on how to build an electrical battery and doesn't turn it on s science book. Like PM stated, Qur'an is spiritual guide and not a science book”
Answer: to begin from the end, when did I say that the Quran is a book of science? It is a book of guidance, but for people to be heartily convinced of its authenticity and divinity, it contains such scientific info as a way of verification. As for the first question: I may answer by another question: “ compare the scientific references in the Torah, Bible and Quran, and see yourself the differences among the three books, which shows you the fact the Quran is the only preserved and dominant book of guidance. As I said earlier, we Muslims do believe in the Old and New Testaments, but the original ones which were revealed to Moses and Jesus, peace be upon them, and not the distorted ones.
“Apart from this what they strongly believe is that you are heading for the Hell and its their duty to save you from this as they are told in their religion. Poor guys, however, don't realise that its not they who can save you but God himself...”
“…go out and do some good - charitable work etc - show me how good your religion is. “
First, charitable work is there almost everywhere but I don’t think it is applicable that for each charitable work done you must receive a bill or notice. And good is also there in different levels and ways, but you will never see it if your eye is only focusing on what is not good, which is there in every community. If you want to know how good my religion is, and it is my duty to help u do so, read about its teachings (AND NOT HOW SOME OF ITS FOLLOWERS LIKE AL-QAIDA MISBEHAVE OR WHAT BIASED MEDIA TRANSMIT) Third, we are to judge religions and ideologies by the teachings, principles, and commandments, not by how the followers apply or misapply them. In all religions, there is a wide gap between the theory and practice, but on the whole you can easily draw a comparison, in figures if you like- through google, between the Islamic societies and non Islamic ones (IN NORMAL SITUATIONS) in terms of crime rate, rape, drugs, child abuse, violence against women, alcohol-caused accidents, robberies, sexually transmitted diseases, incest, suicide, family disintegration, etc.
Answer: yes, I have to be open with you, no way to salvation but through Islam, being the final and only accepted religion with Allah Almighty. For how come that He accepts His old “orders and regulations” which have been abrogated and disregards His FINAL AND MOST INCLUSIVE REGULATIONS? As for salvation, yes it is in the Hands of Allah alone, but through media, and final prophet and his followers are the media, as the previous prophets and their followers and disciples were the media. Or do you want God Himself to come down and guide people and teach them one by one?
