Simple_Nomad Posted May 2, 2006 Critical thinking consists of a mental process of analyzing or evaluating information, particularly statements or "propositions" that people have offered as true. It forms a process of reflecting upon the meaning of statements, examining the offered evidence and reasoning, and forming judgments about the facts. Proposition is a term used in logic and philosophy to describe the content of assertions. Assertions are non-linguistic abstractions from sentences and can be evaluated as either true or false. They are also sometimes referred to as what is said by an utterance.(wikipedia) 1400 Years ago a mysterious man emerged from the arabian desert this man was none other than Muhammad saw. He made several propositions, his challenge was simple. He did not devise theories or carry out scientific experiments. This man could not even read. Yet he made several extraordinary statements which later turned out to be true. Therefore i want to question the self proclaimed athiests and agnostics on what they think about these propehcies and statments made in the quran and hadith.Unfortunately i cannot show you god or perform miracles, however what i can do is show you signs fron the noble quran. So we can come to a logical conclusion. There can be only four logical conclusions here on where Muhammad saw obtained these ideas from. 1. He was merely guessing? 2. Myths and Tales from the past? 3.A Wise men who was a dream interpreter? 4.From a divine source ie God? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simple_Nomad Posted May 2, 2006 Surah 75. The Rising Of The Dead, Resurrection 4. Nay, We are able to put together in perfect order the very tips of his fingers. 36. Does man think that he will be left uncontrolled, (without purpose)? 37. Was he not a drop of sperm emitted (in lowly form)? 38. Then did he become a leech-like clot; then did ((Allah)) make and fashion (him) in due proportion. 39. And of him He made two sexes, male and female. 40. Has not He, (the same), the power to give life to the dead? THE IDENTITY IN THE FINGERPRINT Everyone, including identical twins, has a unique fingerprint. In other words, people's identities are coded at their fingertips. This coding system may also be compared to the barcode system that is used today. While it is stated in the Qur'an that it is easy for Allah to bring man back to life after death, peoples' fingerprints are particularly emphasized: Yes, We are able to put together in perfect order the very tips of his fingers. (Qur'an, 75:4) The emphasis on fingerprints has a very special meaning. This is because shapes and details on everyone's fingerprint are unique to each individual. Every person who is alive or who has ever lived in this world has a set of unique fingerprints. Furthermore, even identical twins having the very same DNA sequence have their own set of fingerprints.105 Fingerprints attain their final shape before birth and remain the same for a lifetime unless a permanent scar appears. That is why fingerprints are accepted as a very important proof of identity, exclusive to their owner. The science of fingerprints has been used as a non-erring identity determination method. However, what is important is that this feature of fingerprints was only discovered in the late 19th century. Before then, people regarded fingerprints as ordinary curves without any specific importance or meaning. However in the Qur'an, Allah points to the fingertips, which did not attract anyone's attention at that time, and calls our attention to their importance. This importance has only been fully understood in our day. The validity of the technique to establish identity by means of fingerprints (AFS) has been confirmed by various police organisations over the last 25 years and is a legally approved method. No technology of identity verification in our time gives such effective results as fingerprints. Using fingerprints to establish identity has been used in legal processes for the last 100 years and possesses international acceptance.(HarunYahya.com) THE PRESERVATION OF PHARAOH'S BODY What, now! When previously you rebelled and were one of the corrupters? Today we will preserve your body so you can be a Sign for people who come after you. Surely many people are heedless of Our Signs." (Qur'an, 10:91-92) The information that Pharaoh's corpse would serve as a sign for later generations may be regarded as an indication that his body would not decay. On display in the Royal Mummies Chamber of the Egyptian Museum in Cairo is a mummified body believed to be that of this tyrant. In all likelihood, Pharaoh's body floated to shore after being drowned, was found and mummified by the Egyptians, and then carried to a previously prepared burial chamber.182 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
