Mohammad, CPA, you wrote:
>>You are holding a Great name with you. Thanks for that Great name.<<
You must know that is not my name. It is the name of a person I admire
>>So you must know: Knowledge is Power, Ignorance isdo death- disastrous.<<
If knowledge is only power without wisdom it is dangerous. Take the case of the scholars of Islam. They acquired knowledge of Islam after years of study. But do they use it wisely. Read the fatwas on the net. They demonstrate knowledge of Islam but how many fatwas reveal any wisdom?
It is better to be ignorant than acquire knowledge without wisdom. The Taliban (students of Islam) is a good example of what happens when one's knowledge lacks wisdom.
>>All of you know by now that I am a Professional person, I have no Business with Religion, your Religion or my Religion. <<
>>In fact, Religion is a Personal matter, a personal relationship with his God- Allah.<<
Most religions aspire to remain a private matter. But not Islam. Five times a day Muslims make a public display and sometimes also a public nuisance with their religion when mosques blare out the call to prayer in high decibel.
There are plenty verses in the Koran asking its followers to go out and deal harshly with unbelievers. (9:29, 9:111 …..). That is of concern to all of us.
>>,,,So don't bring Religion in this Forum or Politics. It is unnecessary.<<
Maybe you have not noticed but the articles on this forum have a lot to do with Islam and politics. If you want to discuss only business and professional matters there are plenty of other forums.
>>Most important issue is Knowledge- Good Degrees: Professional or otherwise, Material Progress for a Good standard of Life. A good house, Computer, Car & other amenities of life.<<
From your previous posts I get the impression that you think you are a good Muslim. But this last statement tells me that you have not understood Islam. You are interested in the good things of this life forgetting or not knowing that Allah says those who desire this world and its pleasures are losers.
006.032 YUSUFALI: What is the life of this world but play and amusement? But best is the home in the hereafter, for those who are righteous. Will ye not then understand?
014.003 YUSUFALI: Those who love the life of this world more than the Hereafter, who hinder (men) from the Path of Allah and seek therein something crooked: they are astray by a long distance
>>How many people have got all these Knowledge & Amenities of life in the West & East including the USA, UK, Russia, Japan, Germany & other countries of the World?s<<
The Koran tells in the verses I have quoted above that these amenities are superfluous. You should concentrate your mind on the hereafter instead of hankering after houses, cars and computers.
>>It is useless to spend your Valuable time on Unnecessary writings.<<
What I write may be unnecessary. But since you and others on this forum read it I do not mind giving up some time for my musings here.
>>By your Long Writings or Big sermons, you can't change a Solid Professional person like me. I am a very Strong Propfessional person- Stronger than many Million of the Professionals of the West.<<
I don't know exactly what you are trying to convey. I am not doing dawa to change you, that is entirely your choice. I am trying to point out what I think are inconsistencies in your statements on this forum. And I think you can become an stronger professional person by concentrating on conveying your ideas a little more logically.
>>In my practical life, I have worked with 50 Nationalities of the World including the USA, UK, France, German, Japan, Italy etc. I visited Four Continents of the World. Now I am gining to the Fifth Continent very soon.<<
There are other forums for uploading personal information like Facebook, Orkut etc
>>Please live with life, let others live with their lives & their thoughts- ideas or Philosophy.<<
If only Muslims would follow this advice of yours the world be a better place. Islam is all about not letting people live their lives as they wish. It interferes with their thoughts, ideas and philosophy. That is how Islam started off and it continues to do so today. Read the verses below and as a Solid Professional try to understand what Allah is telling you.
003.085 YUSUFALI: If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah), never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter He will be in the ranks of those who have lost (All spiritual good).
009.033 YUSUFALI: It is He Who hath sent His Messenger with guidance and the Religion of Truth, to proclaim it over all religion, even though the Pagans may detest (it).
005.072 YUSUFALI: They do blaspheme who say: "Allah is Christ the son of Mary." But said Christ: "O Children of Israel! worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord." Whoever joins other gods with Allah,- Allah will forbid him the garden, and the Fire will be his abode. There will for the wrong-doers be no one to help.
In your post http://www.danielpipes.org/comments/149918 you had written: 1. Accept God as your Lord & Allah. Obey His Commands. He is One & Alone. He has No Partnes. He is All Powerful & Mighty
This is also interference in other people's thoughts and ideas.
You claim to be a solid and strong professional (CPA?) yet your ideas don't tally with the Koran which you claim you follow nor do they tally from post to post.
