ABOUT ISLAM DEWSBURY -

[timjames]

5) So I started to question myself again I thought I cannot see, touch the air yet it is there and many similar questions from this went on a spiritual search for God on the net. I came across many religions and finally Islam on Islamic web sites you tube and from this read Quran this book shook my heart like nothing before this book I could never deny it this is what I have been looking for the questions to my life have finally been answered. I am so very grateful to Allah for showing me the way

[timjames]

6) When I read the Quran I came across this verse
'We will show them Our Signs in the universe, and in their ownselves, until it becomes manifest to them that this (the Quran) is the truth. After I read this I cried and cried as this is what Allah had been showing me all along making me reflect and ponder over the creation of God.

[Saiyan]

Reverts calling muslims back to islam, always amazing!

[yougonasorry]

the recent debate between hamza and lawrence krauss was really interesting, i changed my mind on certain aspects of Islam

[timjames]

3)Would a car designer create a car with defects i.e. wheels on the roof? Would anyone who is a designer create anything which has a defect? No they would not so how are we created so perfectly by chance this is not posible nothing can be so perfectly created without a creator. It is as though we are placed on this planet and created in such a way that ours bodies are able to fit perfectly for every task. I thought about this on many parts of the body each time it served its purpose for a reason

MA...one of the best lectures I've ever heard and thats no joke

[kanwalrukh]

Too good Brother Hamza too good. May Allah reward you for this speech. Jazak Allah Khairan.

[absolutely-oe]

just to add to the "what is the purpose of the hereafter" question. we cannot always ascribe purpose to an ends, its like asking "what is the purpose of being happy, " we cannot really answer that, we just want happiness. if we ask "what is the function of the hereafter, " then we can say many things, such as Allah establishing his ultimate justice by rewarding the good and punishing the evil, Allah fulfilling his promise of paradise for the muttaqoon etc...Allah knows best

the ocean will not dry up because the water in the bucket evaporates and falls back into the ocean... Okay, this is a cyclic example.

A better example, is counting each grain of sand and putting it in a air tight bucket, for 1000 years, you still have an infinite grain of sands left...
