RE: There Is Actually A Very Rational Explanation Why Aceh Turned Into An Islamic Stronghold
(14:4) Never have We sent a Messenger but he has addressed his people in their language that he may fully expound his Message to them.5 (And after the Message is expounded), Allah lets go astray whomsoever He wills, and guides to the Right Way whomsoever He wills.6 He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.7
This implies two things: First, Allah sent down His message in the language of the people from among whom a Prophet was raised so that they might not have any excuse left that they could not understand the language of the message. Secondly, this ruled out the presumption that a Messenger was ever given the message in a different language merely for the sake of a miracle. For Allah considered it more important to make the people understand the message and guide them rightly than to satisfy their curiosity. Obviously the purpose could best be served only if the message was sent down to them in their own language by their Prophet and not in any other.
That is, although the Messenger conveys the message in the mother tongue of the people, which is understood by everyone of them, yet all of them are not guided aright. This happens because of the fact that all of those who understand a message do not necessarily accept it. For it is entirely with Allah to show guidance by means of His message to anyone He wills and to let go astray anyone in spite of it.
As Allah is All-Powerful, no one is able by oneself to get guidance or to go astray, for none is completely independent but is under the power of Allah. But as He is All-Wise, He does not use His power blindly so as to show guidance to anyone He wills and to let go astray anyone He desires without rhyme or reason. In fact, the one who gets guidance from Him gets it on merit and the one who is let go astray is deprived of guidance because he himself deliberately chooses deviation.
And it's not koran... It's Qur'an :)
it's Koran where I come from.
It doesn't matter where you come from. Qur'an means something that can be recited. Because Qur'an was recited upon the prophet and he (SAW) recited upon his companions. Qur'an and koran are two different words :)
You are a nut-head. Nobody outside of your koran circle understands what you are saying. Please, when communicating with outsiders, consider that about 95% of the worlds population have a different inertial system than Islamic teachings. Learn to adapt, thx ;-)
More than 25% of worlds population do :)
Not if you consider ~75% of them who:
a) follow a secular tradition (e.g. Tatars, Alevits)
b) are analphabets and don't understand anything (not to speak of Arabic..)
c) may be born as Sunnis or Wahhabis but don't care about religion
Assuming your 25% share for the total Islamic population are correct, we reach 25%x25% = ~6.25%... most of whom live on the Arabian paninsula, well or Aceh.
Bottom line: When talking to a random person of planet earth, you have to assume this individual doesn't know much about Islam - and much more importantly - doesn't care much about the theological aspects of that religion.
Usually and unfortunately, the most common interest is whether there could be terror attack on the train station you are standing on.
And that's your mentality... Go to your guru Google it will tell you that more than 90%terror attacks are done by non muslims.
And you shouldn't talk about Islam. It's an advice. Take it or leave it.
wtf? I will end this now.
And that's all you can do... Smh
what's Smh? Google tells me that's the Syndey Morning Herald... but that's wrong isn't it?^^
