Satan Cries when the Believer prostrates to Allah
[Sahih Muslim : Book 1 Kitab Al-Iman, Number 144]
It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira (RA) that: "When, the son of Adam recites the Ayat of Sajdah (prostration) and then falls down in prostration, the Satan goes into seclusion and weeps and says: Alas, and in the narration of Abu Kuraib the words are: Woe unto me, the son of Adam was commanded to prostrate, and he prostrated and Paradise was entitled to him and I was commanded to prostrate, but I refused and am doomed to Hell."

Was Moon Really Split in Half? Nasa proves The Quran to be correct.
Go and see it on the website of NASA:
http://apod.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap0210...
Let me quote it here from the link:
"What could cause a long indentation on the Moon? First discovered over 200 years ago with a small telescope, rilles (rhymes with pills) appear all over the Moon. Three types of rilles are now recognized: sinuous rilles, which have many meandering curves, arcuate rilles which form sweeping arcs, and straight rilles, like Ariadaeus Rille pictured above.
-----Long rilles such as Ariadaeus Rille extend for hundreds of kilometers.-------
Sinuous rilles are now thought to be remnants of ancient lava flows,
--------but the origins of arcuate and linear rilles are still a topic of research.---------
The above linear rille was photographed by the Apollo 10 crew in 1969 during their historic approach to only 14-kilometers above the lunar surface. Two months later, Apollo 11, incorporating much knowledge gained from Apollo 10, landed on the Moon."
***************
The miracle of the splitting of the moon was demonstrated before a certain gathering who persisted in denial of Muhammad's Prophethood. As was related by 'Adbullah ibn Mas'ud, while they were in Mina' one night, the Prophet split the moon into two by a gesture of his index finger. The halves of the moon appeared one behind the mountain and the other in front of it. Then, the Prophet turned to us and said: 'Be witnesses!'
The splitting of the moon happened momentarily at a time of night
The Qur'an refers to this miracle in the following verses:
The Hour has approached, and the moon split. But whenever they see a sign, they turn away and say, 'This is evident magic'. (al-Qamar, 54.1-2)
Materialist philosophers and their unreasoning imitators, who want to cast a shadow with their vicious delusions over such a bright miracle of the Prophet Muhammad, upon him be peace and blessings, as the splitting of the moon, say: 'If the splitting of the moon had taken place, it would have been known to the whole world and related in all subsequent books of human history'.
Answer: The splitting of the moon was demonstrated before a certain gathering who contradicted the Prophet Muhammad, upon him be peace and blessings, in his cause as an evidence of his Prophethood. It happened momentarily at a time of night. Also, there were obstacles which prevented the others from seeing it, such as mist, clouds and time-differences between different parts of the world. Besides, at that time science and civilization were not yet well advanced and not widespread, and, therefore, the observation of the sky was very limited. Last but not least, there was nothing to necessitate that it should have been seen all over the world. It is because of these reasons that the splitting of the moon was not witnessed in the whole world and related in the history books of other nations.
In order to remove such clouds of delusions concerning the miracle of the splitting of the moon, heed the following Five Points:
First point
The extreme stubbornness of the unbelievers in the Hijaz at that time is well-known and is recorded in history. When the Qur'an, however, announced this incident to the whole world through its verse, The moon split, not any of those unbelievers, who denied the Qur'an, dared to contradict it in this announcement. If this incident had not occurred before their eyes, they would certainly have taken this verse as a pretext to attack the Prophet more formidably in his cause. However, neither the biographies of the Prophet, nor the books of history report anything to suggest that they denied the occurrence of this incident. What was reported concerning their reaction is as the verse records: They say, 'This is evident magic'. The unbelievers declared the event to be magic, and they added further that if the caravans in other places had seen it, it truly happened, otherwise the Prophet bewitched them. When, however, the caravans coming the following morning from the Yemen and other places announced that they had witnessed the event, the unbelievers showed their usual reaction, saying,--God forbid!--'The magic of Abu Talib's orphan has affected even the heavens!'

Tolerance in the Qur’an
Forgive and show indulgence to them!
(Qur’an, 2:109)
Among various prolific misconceptions concerning the religion of Islam, one cannot miss the oft-quoted “Kill them wherever you find them,” characterization of religious intolerance in the Qur’an. This bloodthirsty depiction of Islam is far, far from the truth. Yet, with so much media attention shone on “Muslim terrorists”, contradictory Islamic ideals of religious tolerance might be difficult for Western audiences to believe.
The best solution is to read the Qur’an. Verses granting permission to fight in war, when attacked, can then be read in context. Ideological mud slinging on the internet is rife with quotes like, “Kill them wherever you find them.” If that is the first phrase you read from the Qur’an, of course it sounds like a horrible, unholy book. Yet its beginning is this:“In the name of God, The Beneficent, The Merciful” (1:1).
In the following sections, I will attempt to express the Qur’anic attitude toward religious tolerance. To dispel myths surrounding “kill them wherever you find them”, I first address religious tolerance under conditions of war. Then, what is hopefully the usual state of affairs, part 2 presents a few points from the Qur’an promoting religious tolerance during periods of peace.
Part 1: Conditions of War
“Fight in the way of God against those who fight against you, but begin not hostilities. Lo! God loveth not aggressors.”
(Qur’an, 2:190)
Contrary to popular misconception, the Qur’anic verse stating, “Kill them wherever you encounter them” (2:191) does not categorically permit (let alone promote!) killing of Non-Muslims. Rather, this verse was revealed in relation to a specific stage of persecutory war against Muslims in the history of Islam; and its ordinance is obviously confined to warfare. The fourteen-hundred-year heritage of Islamic rule in Arabia and beyond testifies to religious tolerance exhorted by the Qur’an.
And why—if there is any explanation other than deliberate mischaracterization and slander—why can’t critics who use this verse read other general decrees that place strict limits on warfare? For instance, the verse just before it, which says, “But begin not hostilities. Lo! God loveth not aggressors” (2:190). Or the verses just after it, stating, “But if they desist, then lo! God is Forgiving, Merciful” (2:192).
Scenarios under which taking a life is permissible according to the Qur’an are extremely limited. The Qur’an permits between-group killing, or “collateral damage”, during warfare in hand-to-hand combat with male, combatant enemy soldiers. In domestic affairs, Islamic law permits execution by judicial sentence in cases of premeditated manslaughter [1]; a tooth for a tooth whether Muslim or Non-Muslim.
In Islam, it is never permissible to attack or kill non-combatant enemy citizens, children, elderly, or women. Non-Muslims not waging war against Muslims possess Islamic state’s protection of their right to life, according to the Qur’an. In fact, the Qur’an enjoins forgiveness, indulgence, tolerance, and kindness toward Non-Muslims.
Part 2: Conditions of Peace
“Help ye one another unto righteousness and pious duty.”

Tolerance in the Qur’an
What some great intellectuals have said about Islam, the Bible, and the Holy Quran
Our civilization is standing at dangerous crossroads. The Bible cannot provide workable foundations for the survival of mankind. (Lord Snell, The New World.
For the redemption of humanity we will have to look toward the owner [Mohammad] of the Qur'an not toward Chrisitianity. (Lewis Mumford, Faith for Living.
The Bible cannot lead us to an international religion, nor can it unify all mankind. (Ehrich Fromm, The Sane Society.
The teachings of Islam can fail under no circumstances. No human mind can go beyond the Qur'an. (Johann Goethe - Letters to Eckermann, Sir Henry Elliott’s Collection) 2.
The code of permanent values can only come through Revelation to chosen personalities (messengers) of God.
(Albert Einstein 1879-1955 - Out of My Later Days)
The word of Mohammad is a voice, direct from nature's own heart . . . all else is wind in comparison.
(Thomas Carlyle - On Heroes and Hero Worship)
If the society is not conducive to the growth of human personality, people would remain slaves even if such a society were perceived to be free.
(Nicholes Berdyeau - Destiny of Man)
For the development of SELF I need a society where others' benefit feels like my own.
(Hastings Rashdall - Theory of Good and Evil)
The development of the human personality [NAFS] can take place only collectively with other members of the society.
(Robert Briffault - The Making of Humanity)
The purpose of life is the development of humanity in a collective social order. (Prof A.N.
Whitehead, British author teaching at Harvard in 1920s - Adventure of Ideas)
Development of the self [self-actualization] can take place only in an equitable social system.
(Robert Briffault, The Making of Humanity)
International order for all mankind is the time's foremost demand.
(John Reves - Politics in Future)
The world needs not only for its development but also for its very survival a universal "way of life" in which economic, social, and moral values are uniform for all.
(Frederick Hertz - Nationality, History and Politics)
The purpose of life is development of the person and thereby, of all humanity en mass. (Prof A. N.
Whitehead - Adventure of Ideas)
The real progress entails development of an international social order in which every individual can grow to one’s full potential.
(Hastings Rashdall - The Theory of Good and Evil)
Islam offers a beautiful collective system which says Yes to Life.
(Nicholes Berdyeau - The Divine and the Human)
A complete way of life which would be universal is neither present in human instinct nor can we devise it through intellect. It can only come through Revelation.
(Prof Alfred Cobban - The Crisis of Civilization)
We need a religion that can transcend nationalism and make the world one Nation.
(Robert Murray - The Individual and the State)
Only Islam can transcend the boundaries of nationalism.
(Arnold Toynbee, The World and the West)
In order to make true progress, man must exercise his free will in accordance with the Divine guidance. Man must do this, not to put God under any obligation, but for the evolution of his own SELF. (British astronomer, Sir Arthur S.
Eddington 1882-1944 - Science and the Unseen World)
The time for nations has already passed. The era of mankind as one community is about to dawn. (W. Chardin - Building of the Earth) 19. The solution to humanity's problems lies not in internationalism. It rests in the Qur'anic teaching of universal brotherhood of all men.
(Neveres Emery - The Anatomy of Peace)
The world will shortly see a single government without borders in which the affairs of human beings will be a matter of counsel.
(Gummer Murdael - Beyond the Welfare State)
No tangible forces, no intangible powers, can stop Islam from becoming the universal faith. This is because only Islam can march along with the evolution of human civilization.
(German born, American psychoanalyst, 1900-1980, Erich Fromm - The Sane Society)
It is the sacred duty of our civilization that we revive the true human brotherhood which existed at the beginning of life and after which people divided.
(Professor Hugh Miller - Country and State)
The ideal society will be one where the wellness of others will feel like my own wellness.
(German philosopher, Immanuel Kant 1724-1804 - Critique of Practical Reason)
The teachings of Islam can fail under no circumstances. With all our systems of culture and civilization, we cannot go beyond Islam and, as a matter of fact, no human mind can go beyond the Qur'an. (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the celebrated German poet and thinker, in his letters to J. Eckermann and Sir Henry Elliot)) In fact, Islam is so scientific that the noted Russian thinker, P.D. Ouspensky, stated that any science that collides with the Qur'an will turn out to be false.

12-Year-Old Des Moines, IA Peace Activist Faces Trespassing Charge for Antiwar Protest at Offices of Sen. Harkin
We turn now to an antiwar mother and daughter from Des Moines, Iowa. Last week, Renee Lynn Espeland was charged with “contributing to the delinquency of a minor” after her twelve-year-old daughter Frankie Hughes refused to leave Senator Tom Harkin’s office while protesting the war funding in the current appropriations bill. This week, the Des Moines police dropped the charges against Espeland, but her daughter still faces a trespassing charge.

Frankie Hughes was also charged with trespassing.
At the time Police Sgt David Murillo told the Des Moines Register: “I understand and fully appreciate a person’s constitutional right to free speech. However, this was a case of brining a child into a criminal arena.”
Well, this week the Des Moines police dropped the charges against Renee Espeland. Her daughter will still have to see someone in Juvenile Court over the delinquency charge of trespassing.

Mohammad-pbuh message is what we should be focus on.
The structure of any ISLAMIC society must be based on the benefit of all people equally. Charity is one of the most important teaching when it comes to the secular teaching, the religious teaching of CHARITY is the clensing of the sins, and on a secular level it help the society by SELFMAINTAINING and moveing forward. No debts, no bills, no headaches financialy. The prophet taught the more you give the greater YOUR reward and there is no one that will give you any greater reward then Allah. Seek your reward not from this world but the after, if you give all your property for the betterment of your community, it is better for you in the after. The system founded through the prophet and his divine message to mankind offers a great threat to only a certain few people, and we can generally say its those seeking wealth and power over others. To anyone else who wishes to live peacefully along side this wonderful and amazing creation around us then to them Islam would make perfect sense.
Lets reopen the books and look into the true message of the prophet, his message of unity and all have equal rights and to seek our rewards from Allah only.
May peace and blessings be upon all the readers and please understand Islam is not a threat to anyone but a few, and this is why its been and will be a major target to attack, for its impossible for them to have their order when Islam is around. Islam offers the ONE UNITED WORLD that they don't want. They want the united world to be under their own agendas and conditions.
If there is anything I learned from the prophet pbuh is that UNITY was crucial in his message, that its better to have allies then enemies, that its better to forgive, its better not to resort to violent measures, that Allah hates the aggressors and oppressors, he even said The person is not one of us who invites others to aid him in
OPPRESSION; and he is not of us who fights for his tribe in INJUSTICE; and he is
not of us who dies in assisting his tribe in TYRANNY.
Why settle for a happiness of 20, 30,40 years when you can recieve happiness forever in a place designed specifically to bring you happiness.
A small describtion was given about Heaven and it spoke of rivers and trees of different fruits that no illness would reach you, nor harm in anyway. You will never get old, and you will be in the best state physically, there is no need for bathrooms for you never have to do that there, one story says that when Adam pbuh ate from the tree he felt he had to use the bathroom and God had to send him to earth for there is no place for it in heaven. I remember a story of an old lady that came to the prophet crying her eyes out pleading and asking how can an old lady like me get into heaven. He looked her in the eyes and said an old lady like you will never set foot in heaven, so you can imagine she get more upset, then he told her that WHEN SHE ENTERS HEAVEN she will be young, beautiful and youthful and instantly she felt rejoiced.
The prophet of Islam brought teachings beyond their time as we see everyday how his lessons still bring significant meaning and how the simplicity of his message is really where its true power sits.
InshaAllah the hearts of Muslims revert to the ways of the heart of the prophet of Islam. Only then will we truly achieve pure peace, pure Islam. The prophet didn't often forgive his enemies and transgressors because of his own will, but... because he understood that Allah is often forgiving. We need to get to know why this great man was able to achieve so much on not only the religious side, but also the secular side. He taught and is still teachings all of mankind, we must get to know why his way created massively successful societies. Over 23 different societies and all societies declare there is no God but Allah and Mohammad is Allah's prophet. We are getting more attached to materialistic means and forgetting that only when we purly wish the best for others as well as our selves that we will never set foot in heaven. The prophet pbuh said " If you don't wish for your brothers what you wish for yourselves, you will NEVER set foot in heaven" It cannot be more clear.
Peace be with you along with Allahs mercy and blessings <== the proper Muslim greeting to another.

Islam offers the ONE UNITED WORLD that they don't want. They want the united world to be under their own agendas and conditions.
If there is anything I learned from the prophet pbuh is that UNITY was crucial in his message, that its better to have allies then enemies, that its better to forgive, its better not to resort to violent measures, that Allah hates the aggressors and oppressors, he even said The person is not one of us who invites others to aid him in
OPPRESSION; and he is not of us who fights for his tribe in INJUSTICE; and he is
not of us who dies in assisting his tribe in TYRANNY.
Why settle for a happiness of 20, 30,40 years when you can recieve happiness forever in a place designed specifically to bring you happiness.
A small describtion was given about Heaven and it spoke of rivers and trees of different fruits that no illness would reach you, nor harm in anyway. You will never get old, and you will be in the best state physically, there is no need for bathrooms for you never have to do that there, one story says that when Adam pbuh ate from the tree he felt he had to use the bathroom and God had to send him to earth for there is no place for it in heaven. I remember a story of an old lady that came to the prophet crying her eyes out pleading and asking how can an old lady like me get into heaven. He looked her in the eyes and said an old lady like you will never set foot in heaven, so you can imagine she get more upset, then he told her that WHEN SHE ENTERS HEAVEN she will be young, beautiful and youthful and instantly she felt rejoiced.
The prophet of Islam brought teachings beyond their time as we see everyday how his lessons still bring significant meaning and how the simplicity of his message is really where its true power sits.
InshaAllah the hearts of Muslims revert to the ways of the heart of the prophet of Islam. Only then will we truly achieve pure peace, pure Islam. The prophet didn't often forgive his enemies and transgressors because of his own will, but... because he understood that Allah is often forgiving. We need to get to know why this great man was able to achieve so much on not only the religious side, but also the secular side. He taught and is still teachings all of mankind, we must get to know why his way created massively successful societies. Over 23 different societies and all societies declare there is no God but Allah and Mohammad is Allah's prophet. We are getting more attached to materialistic means and forgetting that only when we purly wish the best for others as well as our selves that we will never set foot in heaven. The prophet pbuh said " If you don't wish for your brothers what you wish for yourselves, you will NEVER set foot in heaven" It cannot be more clear.
Peace be with you along with Allahs mercy and blessings <== the proper Muslim greeting to another.
AMERICAN HERO KAREEM RASHAD SULTAN KHAN
GENERAL POWELL: "Kareem Rashad Sultan Khan". The name of an American hero. A Muslim. For all those who say General Powell endorsed Barack Obama because of race, to any and all of them, by name: George Will, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Pat Buchanan, etc., I too invoke the name of an American hero: Cpl. Kareem Rashad Sultan Khan, winner of the Bronze Star and a Purple Heart, a true American Hero, who gave more than John McCain ever did for America. Kareem gave his life for America...
A Stryker Brigade Mom writes: "Words can never express how much my heart is breaking for you. My son has been serving with Kareem and was a friend of his. Although I never met your son, I feel like he is a part of my family because he was a friend of my son.
Kareem is also a wonderful example of what this country should stand for. A brave young man who loves his country and is willing to fight to protect her. He is a true American hero.
Thank you for raising such a wonderful son.
You are in my prayers.

Protest held in East Jerusalem- Stop The Occupation of Palestine
JERUSALEM — Israel's battered pro-peace camp is showing signs of life with a weekly Jerusalem protest by a motley collection of anarchists, intellectuals and radical rabbis, but they face a public increasingly hostile to their point of view.
Activists have gathered each Friday since November in the east Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah to protest the eviction of Palestinians from their homes to make room for Jewish settlers. The demonstrations have become a rallying cry for the shrunken left and freedom of speech advocates who say their country has become increasingly intolerant of dissent since waging a bruising winter war in Gaza.
Activists point to a recent campaign vilifying a prominent human rights campaigner, arrests of protesters and attempts by government officials and right-wing groups to halt international funding of Israeli organizations they deemed disloyal.
"It's about time the left in Israel protest against the way the right-wing is kidnapping our future and our life," said Israeli author David Grossman, a leading dove, at a recent protest.
In the latest protest Friday, some 250 demonstrators assembled by a road blowing on shrieking whistles and loudly banging on drums. "You have no shame!" they chanted at Jewish settlers.
Several police officers watched warily across the road, backed by riot police wielding batons and assault rifles.
The weekly demonstrations in Sheikh Jarrah began after Israeli police evicted Palestinian families from the flash point neighborhood and allowed Jewish settlers to move into their homes.

Zionism is not the savior of the Jewish People
Zionism is a very heated discussion here on the Vine, with Israel in the news almost everyday with a new strategy against the war on terrorism and the known organization Hamas. but wait for a sec and look back at the original establishment of this new ideology or savior of the Jewish people and returning them to the promised land ( many say Zionism is the idea of giving Jews a right to have a country and yes i agree its that as well but much more as well.)
Zionism was not always around or part of the Jewish people or faith, but in the 1900s a few men thought it would be a good idea, maybe even divine to establish a home land for the Jewish people. I wont go into further detail because i want the reader to realize that, Zionism was just an idea by a few men.
These men were not men among the Jewish high Rabbi community, not men of scriptural or religious knowledge of the Jewish faith and people.
Zionism is not the savior of the Jewish people, its the ideology of making a home for the Jewish people. Jews are not more Jewish if they accept Israel, or less Jewish if they don't.
A Jew is truly Jewish when they follow their scriptures and books and obey the guidelines of God through their scriptures.
The Zionist Ideology has nothing to do with the Judaic teachings of the many prophets sent to the Jews as recorded by their scriptures, for example Adam, Noah, Suleiman, Abraham, Moses (peace be unto them ) to name a few, and to relate Zionism as part of Judaism is irrelevant, because only the Messiah would lead the Jews to the promised land, the day that God forgives the Jews and returns them to the promised land.
The Zionist ideology has contributed more harm to the Jewish people then good, a point I agree with many orthodox rabbis who repeat this.
A very important note.
Zionist today are many, and I know that many of them are good hearted people, not because they are Zionist or its the Zionist thing to do, but because they are still human beings.
My message is simple.
Enough is enough with military actions, walls gotta come down, more people must step up for peace through charity work, put the guns down and give each other hand.
60 years of war and military means have brought nothing but Shame to all of us. As long as their is conflict in Jerusalem and The holy land, Its a big shame to all three faith, Jews, Christians and Muslims alike, and our prophets would be ashamed of us as well. How can we call our selves among the believers when we authorize such measure of negotiations or means of democracy ? When will we realize that
Only through peaceful measure, we can accomplish Peace.

Heaven and Hell
I know some say well you can't prove a hell or a heaven, and as long as we are living I will agree that Yes I can't prove heaven or hell to exist as we here on earth like to see things for ourselves to generally believe in it. but there is something also that we must look at and that is the traces around us which ultimately should lead us to think, that well there are laws in nature which can't be manipulated with and there for must have been set specifically to meet the needs of the existing operation, intelligent design is something that cannot be ignored and I can see the Creation around me, and beyond earth.
Science has proven that if we were to count each grain of sand on all the beach's on earth, it will not be enough to count all the galaxies that are in space. Now we live on this one now, who is certain that our life will not continue else where, and if there is no hell, can the sun not be used as a example of such fierce power ???? and does not earth give a brief small notion of what heaven might be like ????
We live on earth and have been for thousands and thousands of years, life existed before man walked the earth and FOR CERTAIN this creation is not bound to man,but quite the opposite, its mankind who are bound to the life that they are GIVEN.
Has anyone made their own life or where they given it ? Has mankind decided they wanted two arms or was it given to them, what about our brains which science prove to have simply infinite room to store information and is still a mystery in oh so many ways. What about the DNA was man responsible for that or was it given to them as well ?
Now the Creator of the sun and the galaxies cannot make a heaven or a hell ??? its just illogical, matter fact I think its done with ease,
Mankind comes and goes, the laws of creation NEVER CHANGE and the Creator has created this earth for a PURPOSE, All of creation serves its Creator, for nothing is created without purpose...
Earth purpose is a battle ground between good and evil.
Heaven is the ultimate Goal of those of good.
Hell is the ultimate destination of those of evil.

God's Plan
Peace be unto you all brother and sisters.
This is a very serious issue which should be looked at very delicately.
Now for starters, we live in a so called Modern World, with so many advances and break through and discoveries. It gives great hope for whats to come in the future days and what will the world look like or operate for our youth and future generations.
People naturally have a tendency to believe in a God/Superior being/Creator of our existence and therefor are most often on a quest to learn more about the purpose of our creation, as we live our daily lives we come across so many decisions and choices.
Some decisions or choices will effect us and some will effect others, some will effect both.
Now where does God fit in on all this ?
I see God creating plans for every single human being, Every single human being had a whole lots of plans to follow, and when people ultimately start following their own means, rather then doing for the good, then you follow a plan that ordained to sin period, we make our fate by following our desires, or to be Just.
God is in control of all Plans, man does not make their own plans, they make decisions and choices, Some sure you can say plan to be a doctor or ect, Its them using there free will to become doctors.
When we use free will, its the free will that God has written to happen if you choose that path, and if you choose to go a different path, that destination is ordained already as well, whatever you decide to do, weather its to get up everyday at 5am, or sit on a couch all day, will have their own individual results and these results are known to God, who knows all the plans.
Lets give an example of something tragic like Murder.
If anyone came and murdered another person, it would be in God's plan for that to happen, How well the person killed, is written for him that this man might kill him, and it came true, As far as the killer goes, its written that if he want to kill, he can kill, that same person can go and kill at free will who ever he wants until someone stops him, now maybe im loosing some readers, but what Im saying is that these plans are written because free will, gives us so many choices to make every day, every hour every minute sometimes.
Every action we do has its results and vise versa
In regards to the murders you think oh well he did what God planned, yet that is only partially correct, because God also wrote down for that same murders a path of good. So it comes down to the individual, it and will always come down to the individual. What will I do, the right thing or the wrong thing.
This off course is a delicate issue in itself, whats right and whats wrong and maybe we can get into that later.
Ultimately we control our fate, through free will and by using this free will for good, we will have good results to show for, If we choose the other path its us who are deciders of the paths written.
That's just the magnificence of the creation and God, God is in control of everything, yet gives us choices for us to pick, are we gonna do the right thing or no. Are we gonna speak the truth or lie.
God knows the plans and what mankind will ultimately do and no Darkness can oppress any light and only God's plans will succeed, mankind are being tested all the time.
Some people generally have the wrong Idea that by doing evil, they are doing God's work, but they are doing their OWN WORK, by making the decision to do evil, evil is available, as well as good.
God also wrote down so many other ways, which you rejected and choose to follow that path. As you live day to day, God can easily be sending you signals, but its you who refuses to accept them.
The Quran makes a very accurate discribtion, when quoted that "God is beyond all Comprehension", meaning no human being will ever comprehend God.
People have to realize that, God also wants them to be good, at least try.
The prophet Mohammad pbuh said " If you see injustice, then try to stop it. If you cant stop it, then speak against it, and if you cant speak against it, then pray to end it. "
Any one of us can go and do something bad, but why when you also have the choice to do good ?
So remember that whatever choice you make in your life, its destination is already ordained, Path of sin, will lead to a path of more sin. Path of good, will lead to a path of more good.
Jesus pbuh also said " love your enemy, for if you only love those who love you, then WHATS THE REWARD IN THAT ? "
So much gets blamed on religion or God and its just none sense, The problems we face today are man made and will continue to be man made, because the choices mankind are making.
Its on mankind to do good works on their own to change the world. We can pray all we want, but first we must try to take action, if we cant then lets speak about it, and if we cant do that. Then lets pray for it.
We are letting the few bad ones, ruin the Image for all of us. We as a religious world should be ashamed of our selves for allowing our earth to become is such a disarray. Adam and Eve are confirmed by almost all religions. The three major religions, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam confirm this, Yet so many are being killed as they were aliens and not apart of the HUMAN FAMILY <- Key Word.
Just like we were a single cell in our mothers womb and divided, then divided, then divided and divided and kept going until we have a full structure.
Can you IMAGINE if mankind Operated as affective as our own mechanisms ???
What kinda overall Structure would we have then? and Yes it would be GOD'S PLAN
I wish to say Glory be to God the One eternal true Master of the creation and peace be unto all the brothers and sisters.

Protein called Lectin found in Bananas, Helps fight the HIV virus.
Scientists say a plant protein found in bananas could be a powerful weapon in the fight against HIV.
A research team at an American university says the lectin found in bananas proved as potent as two current anti-HIV drugs in laboratory tests.
The lectin effectively stops infections by outsmarting HIV and preventing it from becoming integrated in a target cell.
Scientists say new weapons in the fight against HIV are urgently needed, and these lectins are one of the most promising options.
The University of Michigan researchers believe that vaginal microbicides made with this plant protein could be a cheap and effective treatment, particularly in developing countries.

The Israel-Palestine Conflict: What we can learn from Gandhi
Finkelstein suggests that the Israel-Palestine conflict is among the least controversial in the contemporary world. He argues that a consensus exists among historians on the past, among human rights organizations on the present and among the legal-diplomatic community on the future and how to resolve the conflict. In the second part of the lecture Finkelstein looks at aspects of Gandhi’s philosophy of non-violent resistance. His focus lies on three key questions: Whom does Gandhi want to reach: the oppressors or the bystanders? How does he want to reach them: through the mind or through the heart? What needs to be done to reach them: to display suffering or to display dignity? The ideas brought forward show that Gandhi’s philosophy is replete with gaps and contradictions. However, it also endows on the fact that the consensus in the international community for resolving the Israel-Palestine conflict lays the foundation for a successful application of Gandhi’s strategy.
