Recently an amazing theme started to appear in more than few of JU's postings. That is: God speaking with the authors of those postings, or so they claim. It seems that it is very fashionable nowadays to claim that what you say was according to what God told you during a "personal" speaking session with Him. I honestly dont know what that means. In all God's messages to humanity, through His Messengers and Prophets, He said He chose those few people to convey His message to Humanity in g...

Most of what people argue about when it comes to religion and God is what did HE say, what does it mean and which of His Books to use. The funny thing is that most of these arguments are about the details not the fundamentals.

Although he mentioned Islam in the beginning, he never took Islam's view in the matter into consideration. No where is this selectivity so obvious than when searching for the "Truth" about how we and our...

Let me start by saying that I firmly believe that the three Abrahamic Religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam have the same Divine Origin and they are fundamentally the same in almost every aspect of their teachings and moral principles. It is so easy to check the validity of this fact about the three Religions by simply reading/studying their respective Holly Books, Torah, Bible and Qura'an. The three of them came from the same God through three Prophets at three different times in the hu...
