The Quran reminds us that in reality humankind was one Ummah but this unity was broken by various differences which the human beings created among themselves surah 10 verse 19. It emphasizes the fact that the main purpose of sending God's message through various Messengers is to restore back the balance and unity of humankind which once existed in the earliest period of human history - Quranic reference 2:213 & 57:25. The Quran warns us not to differentiate among Messengers Quranic reference 2:285 & 4:136, because all of them came from the same source, Allah Almighty. But the followers of the Messengers Peace upon all of them not only created differences among the Messengers but they also created divisions among themselves within the following of a single Messenger. As other people, we the followers of Messenger Mohammad peace be upon him have also created divisions among ourselves. We have done this in spite of the very clear order of Allah Almighty to hold on to His rope together in unity and not be divided among ourselves Surah 3 verse 103. As a matter of fact, we mostly follow the illusions built by our emotions surah 25 verse 43 and the ways of our ancestors surah 2 verse 170 rather than the Quranic reality. This is because whenever we are confronted with the Quranic verses which clearly forbid differences and divisions among Muslims, we find a scapegoat and reply that we are not divided but we only have several schools of thought. In reality though, these are not schools of thought but are schools of action. Only a few examples will suffice to support this argument: differences in what is forbidden and what is allowed by various schools as far as food is concerned; differences in forms of prayer; differences related to marriage and divorce etc. Everyone will agree that these differences whether major or minor are not just in thought but very much in action also. Majority of Muslims though like to believe in ignoring these religious differences and divisions and carry on with their lives. However our religious scholars are more interested in maintaining these differences by creating a sense of virtual unity that hides their sectarian differences. They prefer not to work for real unity because it exposes their differences. In fact, they are more interested in practicing virtual Islam rather than the real Islam our Messenger peace be upon him and Sahaabaa practiced. This makes every one feel satisfied,does'nt whether more or less. Nawaz Religion Islam http://www.parvez-video.com

Hi follks Islam does not discriminate against human beings on the basis of color, race, blood relationships, language, or nationalities. Islam is for everyone. This means that Allah wants us to build a society based on the Quranic principle of universal brotherhood. While no one can question the value of this high goal, the problem is working to achieve it. When the Quran set this high goal for humanity it also provided working principles for achieving it in the human world. This is what the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him accomplished with the help of his companions. He created a true multiethnic and multiracial society for the first time in human history. The ultimate goal was to include all humanity in this ideal. By knocking out all barriers political, social, economical, and geographical a global society could be created based on equality and freedom for all human beings. This then is the Sunnah (way of prophet). Our practice of Sunnah must lead to this goal set by the Quran and implemented by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Otherwise we belie Islam (107: 1-7) as well as the Sunnah of the Muhammad (PBUH). Now the important question is that any Muslim who does not believe in the Sunnah of the Prophet (PBUH) is not a Muslim. But the question is, does believing in the Sunnah of the Prophet (PBUH) require us to believe in everything attributed to him in the books of hadith? We have seen that there is a disagreement on this issue among the scholars belonging to different sects in Islam. Therefore, we need an objective standard to determine the authenticity of the sayings attributed to the Prophet (PBUH). This standard can only be the Quran as it has the power to separate the truth from falsehood – called Al-Furqan by Allah. If any hadith is against the Quran then it can not be the saying of the Prophet (PBUH) and therefore cannot qualify as his Sunnah. But remember according to Ummul Momineen Hazarat Aisha (R) the Prophet (PBUH) was a walking Quran. Religion Islam http://www.parvez-video.com

Before the revelation of the Holy Quran, man was in utter darkness. He was ignorant of his exalted status in the universe, nor was he aware of the phenomena of nature. In short, he knew very little about the physical world and his own place in it. What kind of darkness was prevalent before the Divine revelation? It was the darkness of thought, of intellect, superstitions, and darkness of heart and mind. It was the darkness of being unacquainted with one’s own actual self. And the fact is that this darkness of being unaware of his own true position and dignity was the sum of all his darkness: it was the source and fountainhead of his darkness. Had man been aware of his own true self, then he would have eliminated all other dark nesses. Thus the question arises as to what dignified position the Quran has given to man? If we seek a detailed answer to the question, then we have to go through the whole Quran.

When the Quran says that those who do not utilize their mental faculties are living like animals, firstly it brings to light the power and importance of human intellect, and secondly, it gives insight into the history of creation and evolution. According to the Quran, as supported by modern scientific discoveries, life (not the life of an individual or a species) started with the creation of a single cell. This single cell, through evolutionary processes reached the human form. In this evolutionary journey of life there are two points worth noting:

The total number of Quran Verses which are 6,236 not 6666. How this came into my mind to verify or reconfirm the total number of Quran's ayaat. This has started after received a Quran Quiz news letter whereby along with many other Q&As it has been asked that how many ayaats are in the Quran and the answer 6666 was highlighted. At that time i have recalled that where i have listened akin sound like 6666. So i have said yes i have seen the movie which was less entertaining but more christian oriented by product Omen and then sixth day and lost souls. In christianity the number 666 is a sign of satan or devil.

However, the Muslim criteria of fixing the status of a woman, or man, are neither these social laws nor this moral code. For the Muslims, there is only one standard under the sky, and that is the book of God, which they profess to believe in. What status does the Quran endows for woman. The details are lengthy, but their gist reminds me of a joke which Allama Iqbal used to relate. He would say, If I were not a Muslim, and I had studied the Quran like an ordinary student, then I would have concluded that this book was written by a woman, who was taking revenge on man, for the usurped rights of her community. If one studies the religions and cultures of the world, it leaves no doubt in one's mind that a woman has been pushed to extreme degradation. On the other hand, in the Quranic study it appears as if she has been favored very much. For a start, the Quran has rejected the common belief that God created men (Adam) first and then woman (Eve) was created out of his rib. By now, you must have understood that according to the Quran, this very concept that human beings were created by a special couple called Adam and Eve, is wrong. The Quran, in effect, presents Adam as the representative of mankind or humanity.
