factory farming

It might be better to ask how our own thoughts and behavior are superior. Who here doesn't benefit from sweatshop labor and factory farming? We may not say "make war," but we bring much suffering into the world.

The site also offers an ignore button.

Yes. I apologize i was impolite, another place here.

But ... The Nordic personell here originally in the beginning ate everything, and I ate it with them regardless of Halal and Haram. I saw them as friends. Like carnivores.

Today ... i eat much Vegetarian TBH. However Vegetarianism is not an Islamic thing. I shifted my feelings from good to bad regarding personell. Somehow they trick me. But i'm good.

In Ramadan i get dinner served at Mosque, with chicken and rice. But the personell do drive me to The Mosque. I'm Disturbed as Asperger's. And since 7 Oktober past year i quit MacDonalds and Coffeshops..

Chapter 2 Qur'an (in the beginning of chapter 2):

Among the *people* are those who say, ‘We have faith in Allah and the Last Day,’ but they have no faith. They seek to deceive Allah and those who have faith, yet they deceive no one but themselves, but they are not aware. There is a sickness in their hearts; then Allah increased their sickness, and there is a painful punishment for them because of the lies they used to tell.

When they are told, ‘Do not cause corruption on the earth,’ they say, ‘We are only reformers!’


28:77 Seek the abode of the Hereafter by means of what Allah has given you, while not forgetting your share of this world. Be good [to others] just as Allah has been good to you, and do not try to cause corruption in the land. Indeed Allah does not like the agents of corruption.’

Chapter 86

In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful. When the sky is rent apart, when the stars are scattered, when the seas are merged, when the graves are overturned, then a soul shall know what it has sent ahead and left behind.
(Comment: I don't know what this means)


O man! What has deceived you about your generous Lord,who created you and proportioned you, and gave you an upright nature, and composed you in any form that He wished?

No! Indeed, you deny the Retribution.
Indeed, there are over you watchers, noble writers, who know whatever you do.

Indeed the pious shall be amid bliss,
and indeed the vicious shall be in hell,
entering it on the Day of Retribution,
and they shall not be absent from it.

And what will show you what is the Day of Retribution? Again, what will show you what is the Day of Retribution? It is a day when no soul will be of any avail to another soul and all command that day will belong to Allah.

Chapter 83

...

Indeed the guilty used to laugh at the faithful, and when they passed them by they would wink at each other,
and when they returned to their folks they would return amused, and when they saw them they would say, ‘Indeed those are the astray!’

Though they were not sent to watch over them.

Once i read in Qur'an that approximately ... There are messengers whom want to reach any world leader, but they can't because there are people (bandits) whom stand in the way of the Delivery of message.

We call bandits in Arabic way-cutters. ASD is "developmental disorder" because there are bandits whom prevent ASD proper development. I myself am ASD, and i myself have always gotten bullied by bandits plus enduring my obligations as Muslim, or Believer.

I thought much about if Imāms can do this Job, that Prophet Mohammed and Prophet Jesus and Moses (pbuh) did, that we others are not good at. But maybe they can't because a bad person is equated to an imam by our standard today. So this is a problem Trump and Putin face IMO. Trump and Putin are equated by Dogs.

God and Devil has an agreement. God will postphone punishment of Devil - maybe because he's a Veteran - since he wants to hurt people, in this agreement God will punish Devil and everyone whom yields to Devil. Allah says fear me, or be in awe of ME! Do not fear them, fear me! He says. ASD are in better company than many people. I thank God for my ability to breathe and see and walk, and pray and even to dis-obey Him (since i'm moody) ...

I'm saying; Inevitably (bandits and company) will not have the pleasure of the company Courteous people. "Because I was afraid and Devil helped me", is not acceptable, when Devil also threatens you to be a way-cutter.

There will be no threats. Pleasure is good. Pain is bad. I would like to say i'll torture way-cutters and bandits, but i can't, Allah will have to do that. There's a former, and a Hereafter. Fear God.

Qur'an chapter 25 Criterion (Furqān), verse 77

قُلْ مَا يَعْبَأُ بِكُمْ رَبِّي لَوْلَا دُعَاؤُكُمْ ۖ فَقَدْ كَذَّبْتُمْ فَسَوْفَ يَكُونُ لِزَامًا

Say, ‘Were it not for the sake of summoning you [to faith], what store my Lord would have set by you? But you impugned [me and my summons], so it will soon follow as a result.’

Translator Shakir (same verse as above):
Say: My Lord would not care for you were it not for your prayer; but you have indeed rejected (the truth), so that which shall cleave shall come.

Qur'an Chapter Consulting/Democrasy (Al-Shura)

42:20 Whoever desires the tillage of the Hereafter, We will enhance for him his tillage, and whoever desires the tillage of the world, We will give it to him, but he will have no share in the Hereafter.

42:21 Do they have deities [besides Allah] who have ordained for them a religion not permitted by Allah? Were it not for a [prior] conclusive word, judgement would have been made between them, and indeed a painful punishment awaits the wrongdoers.

Lunarious Comment: (edit): You don't have to show off your prayer according to Hadeeth.

Also, you cannot base yourself on Believers. Only base yourself on God.

Chapter 41:40
Those who abuse Our signs are not hidden from Us. Is someone who is cast in the Fire better off, or someone who arrives safely on the Day of Resurrection? Act as you wish; indeed He watches what you do.

Chapter 107 Al-Ma'un 7 verses

In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.

Did you see him who denies the Retribution? That is the one, who drives away the orphan, and does not urge the feeding of the needy.

Woe to those who pray but are heedless of their prayers —who show off but deny aid.

[Mr. Stevens]

My copy is boxed up for now, but this is a quote from the Qur'an I like:

They are on (true) guidance, from their Lord, and it is these who will prosper. (Sura 2:5)

And:

Do not confuse truth with falsehood, nor conceal the truth knowingly. (Sura 2:42)

The first reminds me of the narrow gate Jesus speaks of (Matthew 7:13-14), or the Middle Way in Buddhism.

Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

There is also the gateless gate: understanding awareness is right before us, and we simply delude and think ourselves out of understanding.

From Dao de Jing, two quotes I'd relate to the second from the Qur'an above:

No guilt is greater than giving in to desire,
No disaster is greater than discontent,
No crime is more grievous than the desire for gain. Therefore,
Contentment that derives from knowing when to be content is eternal contentment.

And:

Person or property, which is dearer?
Gain or loss, which is drearier? Many loves entail great costs,
Many riches entail heavy losses. Know contentment and you shall not be disgraced,
Know satisfaction and you shall not be imperiled; then you will long endure.

I think Allah adress the Jews, to be fair/honest.

I'm not sure.

In a technocraty everone are above The Law. Today i'm above The Jews since Zionists murder Kanaanites (Palestinians). But it's not allowed to be Political here so I say Jews. Inspproperiatly.

Edit: I say this a Muslim. My hypothesis or theory is Jews hold a High position in God's eyes, in that position they are "Kings type" and represent The Law. So because they represent The Law they must be fair and Honest (as Qur'an 2:42 says). ... The problem is when you lose contact with The Ground and humble people, you are prone to be unstable, and to rule unwisely even if you are God's Chosen.

I've been keeping my opinions to myself about your postings from the Koran. I respect that you follow a religion very different from the ones I'm familiar with and I find a little intellectual interest in your posts.

But your post above ^ could well be construed as antisemitic and insulting to Jewish people. Don't you know what happened on October 7, 2023 when Hamas (Palestinians) kidnapped and/or slaughtered more than 1,200 Jews in a sneak attack on Israel?! Neither you nor anyone else is "above the Jews", even if the Koran tells you that you are. This is not right, @lunarious.

Cooincidentally I edited my Post. Hi, Salam ... above me or below me. @Mary Terry .... Allah says we can not reject or even dispute Allah's verses as Muslims, without .. evidence or rights. You are also not Muslim.

You kind of lost me. I looked up pbuh. It means peace be upon you and is a way of respecting the prophet Mohammed.

Does the quote mean that all things are equal? That what goes around, comes around?

You're going to have to help me to understand this.

The Prophet Mohammed, my leader and my Prophet is on another level than me and you. He has much Higher potential than me, and you, so he is Potentially right.

You might follow Prophet Jesus, and we'll disagree, me and you, and we'll maybe not disagree inshallah.

I can only refer to that Spiritual Energy is represented by Heights or levels, in my words. Heights are unlike Horisontal Energy og movement energy.

And that's what i know.

I'm not going to debate religion with you, but I will call you out every time I see you insulting other religions and other people. Just because your religion says you can do so, does not mean that you SHOULD do so in a public forum like this one. Maybe you need a filter between your brain and your mouth (your fingers on a keyboard) before you post something like you did.

No, I'm not and never will be a Muslim. I'm an American and can separate in my mind the differences between rights as American citizens and someone else's tone-deaf religious fervor.

Well, I understand even less now than before. It's probably just me and my limitations in trying to understand something so rarified in my environment.

I'm astounded that @tree might be a CIA operative.

OMG!

Now both you @Mary Terry and @tree work for CIA .

Edit: Ithought it was just @tree

 

[tree]

I am guessing this is some sort of joke or pun or whatever.
The references to tree working for the CIA.

And now Mary Terry, as well.

If it's a joke, I don't get it. But I'm in good company with you, tree.
