"It seems to me that Muhammad was a very ordinary man, he couldn't read, didn't know how to write, in fact he was an illiterate...
We're talking about 1400 years ago, you have some illiterate person making profound statements that are amazingly accurate, of a scientific nature...
I personally can't see how this could be mere chance, there are too many accuracies and like Dr. Moore, I have no difficulty in my mind reconciling that this is a divine inspiration or revelation which lead him to these statements."
Author and editor of over 20 books, and has published over 181 scientific papers. Co-author of The Developing Human (5th Edition, with Keith L. Moore). He received the J.C.B. Grant Award in 1991. Professor Peraud presented several research papers.
"... these Hadiths (sayings of Muhammad) could not have been obtained on the basis of the scientific knowledge that was available at the time of the 'writer'... It follows that not only is there no conflict between genetics and religion (Islam) but in fact religion (Islam) may guide science by adding revelation to some of the traditional scientific approaches... There exist statements in the Qur'an shown centuries later to be valid which support knowledge in the Qur'an having been derived from God."
He is the President of the American Fertility Society. He has received many awards, including the Association of Professors of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Public Recognition Award in 1992. Like many others, Professor Simpson was taken by surprise when he discovered that the Qur'an and Hadith contain verses related to his specialised field of study. When he met with Sheikh Abdul-Majeed A.Zindani, he insisted on verifying the text presented to him from the Qur'an and Hadith.
"Thinking where Muhammad came from... I think it is almost impossible that he could have known about things like the common origin of the universe, because scientists have only found out within the last few years with very complicated and advanced technological methods that this is the case."
"Somebody who did not know something about nuclear physics 1400 years ago could not, I think, be in a position to find out from his own mind for instance that the earth and the heavens had the same origin, or many others of the questions that we have discussed here...
If you combine all these and you combine all these statements that are being made in the Qur'an in terms that relate to the earth and the formation of the earth and science in general, you can basically say that statements made there in many ways are true, they can now be confirmed by scientific methods, and in a way, you can say that the Qur'an is a simple science text book for the simple man. And that many of the statements made in there at that time could not be proven, but that modern scientific methods are now in a position to prove what Muhammad said 1400 years ago."
Professor Kroner is one of the world's most famous geologists, becoming well known among his colleague scientists for his criticisms against the theories of some of the major scientists in his field. Sheikh cAbdul-Majeed A. Zindani met with him and presented several Qur'anic verses and Hadith which he studied and commented upon.

What is a measure of a good religion?
What is a measure of an effective Buddhist practice?

I believe Jesus is son of God.
Please remember you are currently a Christian and entitled to your beliefs. Muslims are also entitled to their beliefs.
That is what make you a Christian and they, Muslims, and most posters here Buddhists.
They have their relationship with Allah through their Messenger and Koran. while you have yours through Jesus and the Bible.
Buddhist have will have no relationship issues with either, neither original creation nor creator. Said simply,we try to resolve our issues with "I".
The sixth zen patriarch Hui Neng was also couldn't read, didn't know how to write, in fact he was an illiterate...well! the purpose of religions is to explain the nature of world peace, so that the living beings are able to enjoy and gain true insight. If the followers of religions such as the above, failed to accomplished this noble call of harmony. Speaking and promoting world peace or compassionate love in your own religions is actually promoting your personal own peace. hahahaha May your inner buddha bless you. Namo Buddha Amitabha

go read up...............
Jesus = Hesus

Jesus was a made-up figure of 2 ''gods''.............
Why post on Islam when their fundamental core teachings like creator god contradicts buddhism? Don’t tell me you think all religions are same…
For the info of those blunt-minded forumers who are still unaware, Amitayus48, TrueReppuzan, Fugazzi and Realisation are MUSLIMS / SUFIS. These usernames may even belongs to the same person, appearing in different identities.Amitayus48 is just a muslim under the guise of a buddhist with a specific MOTIVES.I have been placing these usernames under surveillance for some times.
I would expect some to wonder how is it possible that a muslim can post write and understand Chinese.
Don't forget that we have people like Ridhuan Tee, who abandons one's superior Chinese non-muslim identity and culture to adopt an inferior lowly culture of another racial and religious group.
Furthermore it it no longer a rarity to see a non-Chinese who can understand Chinese.
So, it it no surprise at all to me.
It is also not surprising at all to see a muslim who is familar with the buddhist sutras. I have come a cross a number of muslim / sufis who have "good knowlege" of Buddhism, though their understanding of it is a distorted one by ways of superimposition of Islam / sufism on the Dharma, and manipulation of verses in the buddhist sutra that cannot be superimposed.
It is part of their enterprise to subsume buddhism under the fold of Islam under guise of the ecumenical scheme:
One GOD
ONE True Religion ( which is Islam), with multiple version
One Humanity
Why do these so called moderate muslim sufis want to do this?????
The answer is THEY KNOW VERY CLEARLY DEEP IN THEIR HEART THAT THERE IS NO WAY ISLAM, EVEN WITH THE HELP OF SUFISM (their so called inner dimension) CAN POSE ANY SERIOUS THREAT TO THE BUDDHA'S DHARMA. TO CHALLENGE BUDDHISM FROM THE POSITION OF ISLAM (WHICH IS FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT FROM BUDDHISM IN ITS ORIGINALITY) WILL BE AN UPHILL TASK.
THEREFORE , UNLIKE THE STUPID CHRISTIAN WHO KEEP CHALLENGING BUDDHISM FROM A DIFFERENT POSITION UNSUCESSFULLY, THE MUSLIMS TRY TO TAKE POSSESSION OF THE BUDDHIST TEACHINGS BY SUPERIMPOSING ISLAMIC SUFISM ON BUDDHISM PLUS MANIPULATION TO DECEIVE THE OTHERS THAT BUDDHA WAS ACTUALLY A PROPHET WHO BELIEVED IN ALLAH.
In this way, not only they could make Islam as the final undistorted revelation of buddhism, they can achieve this under the guise of ecumenism, the "peace-loving" people.
Their One GOD, ONE True Religion ( which is Islam), with multiple version and One Humanity is an indispenable strategic scheme in accomplishing their objective, "a missing pieces in their puzzle" so to speak.
I wonder if these muslim / sufis are feeling too inferior and ashamed to identify themselves as muslim / sufis in the face of Buddhism.
In this respect, I actually respect these die-hard people like Almond Cookies, than these hypocrites resorting to dirty lowly tactics.
If a person need to subscribe to the view that all religions are the same (different versions of one true religion), I don't think he is truely an ecumenical and peace-loving person.
It is because this means that he is not able to co-exist peacefully with other religions if they are fundamentally DISTINCT.
I called this extremism, subtle bigotry.
In this perspective, this so-called "moderate" muslims are no more different from their extreme counterparts who choose to use terror and violence to achieve their mean. the only difference between these two groups is their methods, with tyhe former choose to use the "peaceful" but dirty deceptive tactics.
In my opinion, the "moderate" extremists are more dangerous. The are like SILENCE-KILLER.
NO DECEPTION CAN PREVAIL WHEN ONE'S INHERENT BUDDHA-WISDOM IS SHARPENED TO THE FULLEST.
THESE PEOPLES ARE JUST WAGING A FUTILE LOSING BATTLE.
MAY THE AUTHENTIC DHARMA CONTINUES TO SHINE UNTAINTED FOR ANOTHER CENTURY
MAY THE TIRTHIKA PERISH UNDER THE SWORD OF WISDOM.
Does anyone of you remember sometimes ago a forumer by the name of "Chenrezig" mention about the two books written by the Bahai Jamshed Fozdar???
1) God of Buddha
2) Buddha Maitreya Amitabha has appeared
Perhaps, for those who still scratching their heads on my earlier posts, you can read these two books to appreciate to some extent what I had said.
If i'm not wrong, there is a islam forum in sgforum, which is already "DEAD" for a long time.
Perhaps, it is badly in need to be REJUVENATED with some STIR.............
HAHAHAHHAAH....................
HHEHEHEEHE...................
