GENERAL TOPICS | BOARD ANNOUNCEMENTS / وطعام الذين اوتوا الكتاب حل لكم
« on: March 28, 2021, 03:50:56 PM »
Assalamu Alaykum Brothers,
In Suratul Maidah Verse 5 it says:

"Today all good, pure foods have been made lawful for you. Similarly, the food of the People of the Book is permissible for you(وطعام الذين اوتوا الكتاب حل لكم)and yours is permissible for them. And ˹permissible for you in marriage˺ are chaste believing women as well as chaste women of those given the Scripture before you—as long as you pay them their dowries in wedlock, neither fornicating nor taking them as mistresses. And whoever rejects the faith, all their good deeds will be void ˹in this life˺ and in the Hereafter they will be among the losers."

This verse says that meat sacrificed by the Jews or Christians (people of the book) is Halal for us Muslims. I heard we could eat Kosher food but we can't eat the Christians' food. That's why we have a rule for Halal and Haram meat. The problem is if we could eat the food of the Christians, that means we could eat the McDonald's Big Mac and meat burgers! That doesn't make sense though because Muslims believe that McDonald's and Burger King and whatever are Haram because they are not sacrificed in the ritual Muslim way! So what does this verse actually mean?

Yourself decides on which route to take.  Satan's snare is little, and he has no authority over you:

[004:076]  Those who believe, fight in the Cause of Allah, and those who disbelieve, fight in the cause of Taghoot (Satan, etc.). So fight you against the friends of Shaitan (Satan); Ever feeble indeed is the plot of Shaitan (Satan).

[014:022]  And Satan will say when the matter is decided: "It was God Who gave you a promise of Truth: I too promised, but I failed in my promise to you. I had no authority over you except to call you but ye listened to me: then reproach not me, but reproach your own souls. I cannot listen to your cries, nor can ye listen to mine. I reject your former act in associating me with God. For wrong-doers there must be a grievous penalty."

Purify yourself with Islam and being genuine with Allah Almighty, and don't play games with your salvation:

[087:014]  Successful has been the one who purified himself!





So you are saying that Satan goes only to person to person whispering weak things? But I thought each person has his own Satan?

*Addition: I thought each person has his own Satan and that there was a Grand Satan who is Iblis.

The winners of Paradise will pass by Hell to get purified. No unpurified person enters Heaven.  In Heaven, there will be no evil, no envy, no bad talk.  If bad talks takes place, well, Hell is always open for any evil doer.


So you're basically saying that Grand Satan cannot be in Heaven because he is evil. So this means Grand Satan (Iblis) is in a fixed place on Earth inticing jinn to become Satans in order to deceive people, right? Like Grand Satan can't deceive all people at the same time (unless he was Omnipresent but he's not), so he would need to appoint jinns to deceive each person on earth, right?

So is the Grand Satan (Iblis) omnipresent? Did Allah grant him Omnipresence in order to deceive all bad people? Because Iblis did tell Allah "grant me respite." Does this make Grand Satan everywhere? But Grand Satan cant be in Heaven, right? Whenever I think of this, everything turns complicated. Because lets say Satan is in Heaven, that means he eavesdrops on the Angels and Allah's conversations and Allah doesnt throw missles at him.  So basically Im saying that does Grand Satan have a fixed place, or is he everywhere? And if he is everywhere, that doesnt make sense because that means hes in Heaven. Maybe Grand Satan is in a fixed place but entices jinns to become bad and decieve humans? Maybe Grand Satan (Iblis) doesnt deceive us directly but uses jinns to? Thinking of this turns things extremely complicated!

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
Is shaytaan in the Quran referring to one satan, or a group of Satan's from humans and jinn? Because like Surah 35 (Fatir):6 says:

"Surely Satan is an enemy to you, so take him as an enemy. He only invites his followers to become inmates of the Blaze."

The word شيطان here is singular.

But in Surah Mulk Verse 5, it says: "And indeed, We adorned the lowest heaven with ˹stars like˺ lamps, and made them ˹as missiles˺ for stoning ˹eavesdropping˺ devils, for whom We have also prepared the torment of the Blaze."

The word for "devils" here is شياطين, the plural of شيطان.

Also, Surah Al-An'aam says in Verse 112, "And so We have made for every prophet enemies—devilish humans and jinn—whispering to one another with elegant words of deception. Had it been your Lord’s Will, they would not have done such a thing. So leave them and their deceit,"

The words "devilish human beings and jinns" (شياطين الإنس والجن) literally means Satans from humans and djinns.

So my question is, doesn't this all seem to imply that there are many Satans, and that bad manipulating humans are also Satan? Doesn't this mean that the places in the Quran (such as Surah Fatir which I quoted) that use the singular form of Satan are actually not referring to one being, but rather to all Satans (from humans and djinns) as a unity?

One problem. Just thought of something. If the prophet was illiterate, how could he write letters? Did he have scribes write it for him?

The Abu Bakr and Persian thing is cleared up. But, for the letter, what do you mean by Islamic Url? You mean an Islamic website that talks about the letter? If thats what you mean, here is a website that talks about the letter:

....Now I was searching for the prophet's letter to Oman and I found another article that says the letter of Oman is fake and even if it was real it doesn't say that they will have to convert by force but is just a prophecy. Here is the link that says the letter is fake (by the way, its a rebuttal to an anti-islamic article): https://controversialislam.wordpress.com/omanis-conve rted-by-force/

Anyways, here is the website that says the letter is real even though I don't need an answer any more because my questions are cleared up:https://www.google.com/amp/s/foroneislam.wordpress.com/2009/03/29/prophet-mohammeds-letter-to-the-people-of-oman/amp/

Assalamu Alaykum,
Brother, why did Abu Bakr conquer Iran? Didnt he force his religion on them? Also why is the Prophet's letter to Oman threatening?

"“In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. From Mohammed, the messenger of Allah, to Jaifar and Abd, sons of Al Julanda. Peace is upon him who follows the guidance. I am calling both of you, in the name of Islam. You will be safe if you submit to Islam.

I am the Messenger of Allah to all people warn all living that Islam will prevail. I hope you will accept Islam, but if you do not, then you will lose your country, and my horsemen will invade your territory and my prophecy will dominate your country”."

Ok. Also this just opened a lot of investigation. The Psalms are probably talking about the Arabs a lot. Maybe you should read them and see if David talked about the Arabs.

Ok interesting. That would basically mean that Psalms talks to the Arabs in Saleh a lot.
