Answering Christianity Research Center

in bukhari Vol. 1, Book 6, Hadith 301
Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri:
Once Allah's Messenger () went out to the Musalla (to offer the prayer) o `Id-al-Adha or Al-Fitr prayer. Then he passed by the women and said, "O women! Give alms, as I have seen that the majority of the dwellers of Hell-fire were you (women)." They asked, "Why is it so, O Allah's Messenger () ?" He replied, "You curse frequently and are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you. A cautious sensible man could be led astray by some of you." The women asked, "O Allah's Messenger () ! What is deficient in our intelligence and religion?" He said, "Is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one man?" They replied in the affirmative. He said, "This is the deficiency in her intelligence. Isn't it true that a woman can neither pray nor fast during her menses?" The women replied in the affirmative. He said, "This is the deficiency in her religion."

نُقْص and its contemperaries (نَاقِصَاتِ and نُقْصَانِ) are actually more accurately translated into reduction not deficiency. In fact will call minus in arabic نَاقِصَ. YOu shouldinclude this in your article

As'salamu Alaikum dear brother,

Thank you for the valuable post, akhi.  I will insha'Allah update the article and add your addition to it.  It's important for Muslims to notice how having characteristics such as running a bad mouth and/or being ungrateful will bring upon them sin.  This is certainly not just limited to the women of that time.  The Prophet, peace be upon him, used them here as an example.  But men are certainly not exempt from this.

Take care,
Osama Abdallah

As'salamu Alaikum dear brother Kareem,

Thank you very much for this valuable addition, dear brother.  May Allah Almighty greatly bless you!  Ameen.  I appreciate that you posted this valuable information here on this board, instead of just my personal email.  I take too long to process my emails, because I am constantly busy.  But by displaying the valuable information for all brothers and sisters to see, it further helps everyone, insha'Allah.

So I appreciate you for taking your email that you sent me, further, by posting the information here.

Brother Adnane also posted similar valuable information regarding this extremely important topic here: http://www.answering-christianity.com/blog/index.php/topic,80.0.html.

I also started this thread with many links: http://www.answering-christianity.com/blog/index.php/topic,1022.msg3410.html#msg3410.

Also, another article from another brother here:  http://www.answering-christianity.com/luke6_40.htm.

I also have a video of this from a Jewish Rabbi further confirming this at: http://www.answering-islam.com/convert_christians.htm.  I will insha'Allah put it all together, for this is a very important topic for Jews and Christians and Muslims to learn about.

Take care akhi,
Osama Abdallah

As-Salamu `Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh brothers and sisters in Islam,
'In Sha' Allah I will try to interpret the meanings of the Glorious Qur'an into the English language with commentary on some verses (like what Dr. Muhsin Khan had done) and commentary including the miracles of the Glorious Qur'an too. 'In Sha' Allah, if Almighty Allah grants me success in doing so, I want your help brothers and sisters to review and help me with this project.

As'salamu Alaikum dear brother Ramzi,

May Allah Almighty bless you for your efforts.  Before you indulge into this project dear brother, you might want to first look at: http://www.answering-christianity.com/detailed_meanings_of_scientific_words_in_verses.htm.  I've gone many of the Key Noble Words that were Scientific, and used 7 big dictionaries that demonstrated their uses before and after Islam.  I used the most popular dictionaries such as Lisan Al-Arab, which is a 10-book encyclopedic volume and several other big ones.

This article should be a good start for you akhi, insha'Allah.  You're more than welcomed to use it and build on it, insha'Allah.

Take care,
Osama Abdallah

Don't you think that Answering Christianity's articles (even the whole website if possible) should be translated into languages, perhaps Arabic, Persian, Mandarin. Since only 15% of the world could understand English at this level. What do you think? If yes, what languages do you think it should be translated into, the priority ones first.

As'salamu Alaikum dear brother,

Thank you for the suggestion akhi.  Believe me, whenever I could advance Islam, I wouldn't hesitate even for one split second.  I've already moved towards a multi-lingual website, dear brother, with http://www.QuranSearch.com search engine.  As you can see, I have all of the foreign translations of the Noble Quran that I could get my hands on, and I built the search engine for them.

As to your request, the major problem with the Muslims today, on the internet, is that they're too disorganized.  Even Saudi Arabia's official http://al-islam.com website doesn't even have the Noble Quran in many languages, nor the Hadiths, nor the Tafsirs.  The Christian missionaries are completely opposite of this.  10s of millions of Bibles get printed every year in almost every single language this planet earth has.  While the Muslims don't even YET, AND TILL THIS DAY, have the Noble Quran translated in all of the world's languages!  There are only 15 or so foreign-language-translations of the Noble Quran out there. 

Even late Sheikh Ahmed Deedat, may Allah Almighty rest his soul and grant him Paradise, critisized the Arabs and Muslims on this point: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFiYQ3JUUV0&feature=related (start from minute 45).  My point in this is that we are only mere individuals, my dear brother.  Me myself am way too limited.  And I do not have the necessary resources to make the idea that you mentioned happen.

The only way to do it is to hire an organization to do this.  These people charge you per hour, and they're not cheap.  It'll cost 100s of thousands of US-Dollars to accomplish this.  I simply do not have that money.  I am looking into Google translation.  They're constantly improving their translations.  I'll also look into softwares for this.  I thought about softwares before, but didn't go for it, because I have no way to verify if the translation is accurate or not.  We don't want giberish.

Do you brothers and sisters have any suggestion that you could share?

Thank you!

Your brother,
Osama Abdallah

As'salamu Alaikum Everyone,

For ample proofs for this stunning Miracle, please visit this thread: http://www.answering-christianity.com/blog/index.php/topic,616.0.html.

I've elaborated on it in great details.

Take care,
Osama Abdallah

As'salamu Alaikum Everyone,

This is a continuation to my initial posts regarding this topic at: http://www.answering-christianity.com/blog/index.php/topic,612.0.html.

Allah Almighty Said in the Glorious Quran that He made the #19 Miracle be "One of the Great Ones (Miracles)" in the Glorious Quran:

Yusuf Ali:

[074:030]  Over it are Nineteen.
[074:031]  And We have set none but angels as Guardians of the Fire; and We have fixed their number only as a trial for Unbelievers[/u],- in order that the People of the Book may arrive at certainty, and the Believers may increase in Faith,- and that no doubts may be left for the People of the Book and the Believers, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the Unbelievers may say, "What symbol doth God intend by this ?" Thus doth God leave to stray whom He pleaseth, and guide whom He pleaseth: and none can know the forces of thy Lord, except He and this is no other than awarning to mankind.
[074:032]  Nay, verily: By the Moon,
[074:033]  And by the Night as it retreateth,
[074:034]  And by the Dawn as it shineth forth,-
[074:035]  This is but one of the Great Ones (Miracles),
[074:036]  A warning to mankind,-
[074:037]  To any of you that chooses to press forward, or to follow behind;-

Arabic (from right to left):

‏74:30 عليها تسعة عشر
‏74:31 وماجعلنا اصحاب النار الا ملائكة وماجعلنا عدتهم الا فتنة للذين كفروا ليستيقن الذين اوتوا الكتاب ويزداد الذين امنوا ايمانا ولايرتاب الذين اوتوا الكتاب والمؤمنون وليقول الذين في قلوبهم مرض والكافرون ماذا اراد الله بهذا مثلا كذلك يضل الله من يشاء ويهدي من يشاء ومايعلم جنود ربك الا هو وماهي الا ذكرى للبشر
‏74:32 كلا والقمر
‏74:33 والليل اذ ادبر
‏74:34 والصبح اذا اسفر
‏74:35 انها لاحدى الكبر
‏74:36 نذيرا للبشر
‏74:37 لمن شاء منكم ان يتقدم او يتاخر

The STUNNING SCIENTIFIC MIRACLE OF NUMBER 19 in the Glorious Quran is thoroughly demonstrated in the following translated-into-English Video.  More videos to come soon, insha'Allah:
