  • Prophets of the Quran: an Introduction (Part 1 of 2)
    Prophets of the Quran: An Introduction (part 1 of 2) Description: Belief in the prophets of God is a central part of Muslim faith. Part 1 will introduce all the prophets before Prophet Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, mentioned in the Muslim scripture from Adam to Abraham and his two sons. By Imam Mufti (© 2013 IslamReligion.com) Published on 22 Apr 2013 - Last modified on 25 Jun 2019 Category: Articles >Beliefs of Islam > Stories of the Prophets The Quran mentions twenty five prophets, most of whom are mentioned in the Bible as well. Who were these prophets? Where did they live? Who were they sent to? What are their names in the Quran and the Bible? And what are some of the miracles they performed? We will answer these simple questions. Before we begin, we must understand two matters: a. In Arabic two different words are used, Nabi and Rasool. A Nabi is a prophet and a Rasool is a messenger or an apostle. The two words are close in meaning for our purpose. b. There are four men mentioned in the Quran about whom Muslim scholars are uncertain whether they were prophets or not: Dhul-Qarnain (18:83), Luqman (Chapter 31), Uzair (9:30), and Tubba (44:37, 50:14). 1. Aadam or Adam is the first prophet in Islam. He is also the first human being according to traditional Islamic belief. Adam is mentioned in 25 verses and 25 times in the Quran. God created Adam with His hands and created his wife, Hawwa or Eve from Adam’s rib.

  • Salvation & the Death of Jesus
    SALVATION & THE DEATH OF JESUS - SESSION 12 PART 1: Preparation and Discussion Salvation in Islam In Islam a person is saved by Allah’s mercy, however, they must earn this mercy. A Muslim can earn Allah’s mercy in different ways and this leads to three paths to salvation. Path 1: Straight to Paradise Jihadist martyrs go straight to paradise. If you are killed or die in God’s way, pardon and mercy from God are better than what they collect. If you die or are killed, you will be gathered up to God. (Qur’an 3:157-158, Jones) The souls, of the martyrs live in the bodies of green birds who have their nests in chandeliers hung from the throne of the Almighty. They eat the fruits of Paradise from wherever they like and then nestle in these chandeliers. (Sahih Muslim: 1887; bk. 20, no. 4651) Path 2: The Grave then Paradise Most Muslims are not martyrs and so they take a different path. They earn Allah’s mercy through the religious rituals of Islam, the Five Pillars which are the confession of faith, fasting, pilgrimage, prayers, giving money to Islamic causes. When they die they go to the grave first and then hopefully to paradise later. ... the Messenger of Allah (Muhammad) said: “Indeed the grave is the first stage among the stages of the Hereafter. So if one is saved from it, then what comes after it is easier than it. And if one is not saved from it, then what comes after it is worse than it.” (Jami` at-Tirmidhi: 2308)1 What is interesting is that a Muslim can do good deeds which will be credited to another Muslim who is in the grave.

  • Change Your Practice, Change Your Life Neil Edsall Many People Are
    Change your Practice, Change your Life Neil Edsall Many people are afraid of change however as yogis I believe most of us are looking for change, some perceived sort of change for the “better”. So how do we effect this change? We practice asana, maybe been to a kirtan or two, maybe even actually picked up one of yoga’s sacred texts, but how does this change my life for the “better”. There is a magic time in yoga that will change your life forever. 40 Days. That’s right, “Just 40 days or double your Karma back”. If you practice yoga consistently every day for 40 days, you will create the opportunity to implement any change you want in your habits, your relationships, and even the way you see yourself. Yogis have known this for thousands of years; psychologists have “proven” it in the last century, any behavioral change, according to psychologists, requires approximately six weeks (40 days) to shift. This includes breaking a bad habit (like addictions) or starting a good habit (like practicing yoga). This six-week period allows the body and mind to go through all its biorhythms and cycles to initiate the possibility for a permanent change. Many religious and spiritual traditions also follow cycles of 40; there are many references to 40 in scriptures of the world’s religions. The 40 days that the Buddha sat under the Bodhi tree before becoming enlightened, 40 days and nights of rain to cleanse the earth (Genesis 7:4,17), Moses spent 40 days on Mount Sinai receiving God's law (Exodus 24:18; 34:18), and there was the trip of 40 days to the same area by the prophet Elijah (I Kings 19:8).
