    Asrarulislam Sahib,A.o A! Taqwa is very sensitive and meaningful word.Its meant especially for those who have already Islam as their mode or deen the track of living life, or life style. Hindu knows there is God But he is mushrik he has symbolised God into Idols , unlike the pagans who do not believe in God Or rather Allah. To sustain the Islamic path under any term and conditions, poverty, health and sickness , in joy and in sorrow remain Muslim. Like Hazrat Bilal (R.U.T.A.) kept saying Wahdahu Lasharek( Ahad, Ahad) while being tortured by infidel / kuffar. That is one example of Taqwa. Remember one myth we use to hear from our eldres, that there was a mulla delivering sermon on Taqwa, that if one Says Bismillah Ar-rehman Ar-raheem , can walk over the water easily, and one person Practised it with full faith and Taqwa , was able to walk over the river water, and mulla came across that person, and asked him how could he do that , and he answered that he heard it from him and he practised it with full faith and had taqwa that he could do it. Taqwa gives strength to faith and maintains it. Logically Taqwa is another name of taqwiat, which is strength, forgive me my arabic is very poor though i try to learn it, but it is vast language .I hope you will forgive me for that. Ma Salam.ASARULISLAM’S COMMENT: You need to forgive yourself and then Allah shall forgive you. Try listening to the Quran Lectures by cleaning your mind from PREFORMED IDEAS AND MAGICAL BELIEFS. YOU BELIEVE ONE CAN WALK OVER WATER BY RECITING BISMILLA. PLEASE THINK BROTHER. ALLAH never forgives a Mushrik— one who associates magical beliefs with Allah.

    I read one ayah in quraan which says dont touch Quraan until you are chaste/ clean both hygenicaly and spiritually, and if you have wrong intentions, I mean , the way sulman rushde did. It is said very clearly , that do not extract abnoxious meanings out of Quraan. And stop reading it, where you start chalenging its ayah, simply because your mental capacity is too limited. ( I mean we, us not pin pointing any one) Walla aalam bilswab. May Allah forgive me If I am wrong.

    Al Hamdulillah I donot believe in such things, But I said MYTH, “such stories which are not necessarily true” , But are being qouted to make people to understand some thing. Our problem is we are very fast to reach to conclusion, we are always anxious and excited, when we are reading some one’s views, We need to be broad minded rather than conservative. Shirk is not only performed my non muslims, but our some muslims too practice it un knowingly. For instance going to tombs touching and bowing one self onto the grave, asking the burried to help them out. When I was young had a chance to go to the tomb of Hazrat Bahudin Zakaria , and saw a man massaging his big tummy with pebbles he picked from the grave and saying loudly that the bazurg should cure his stomach problems. Since then I dont visit tombs , But only To recite Fateha. This is what is said in Holly Quraan. Do not even Say your prayers while facing the grave.

    ASRARULISLAM SAHIB A.O.A ,ALLAH CREATED US AS TO AMAZING BODY MECHANISM . IT DOES HAVE MOST OF THE MINOR SICKNESSES’S CURE HIDDEN WITHIN OUR BODY. SOME TIME WE CAN CURE OURSELVE BY PRAYERS AND MEDITATION, OR WHEN WE ARE TREATEDBY QUALIFIED DOCTOR TO OUR UNDERSTANDING . WE CURE FASTER THAN THE PAERSON WHO HAS NO FAITH. MOST OF THE MEDICINES ARE EITHR TRANCULISERS OR STEROIDES , THEY TEMPORARILY TAKE AWAY THE SENSATION OF OUR PAINS. OTHERS ACTIVATE OUR BODY DEFENCE SYSTEM, BY RELEASING ANTI BODIES TO FIGHT THE SICKNESS. ITS ALL ABOUT FAITH . WHY DO WE BELIEVE THAT HAZRAT ISSAH (A.S) WAS BORN WITOUT A FATHER NO ONE HAD TOUCHED THE SISTER OF HAZRAT ISHAQ ,BIBI MARIAM(A.S). MODERN SCIENCE HAS PROVED THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO GET PREGNANT WITOUT A MAN. THAT MIRACLE IS IN HOLY QURAAN.

    Asarulislam’s comment: Why did you feel the need to bring in Modern Science. You need to learn the meaning of the word ‘proof’.

    Salaam Brother Shakeel Tahir

    Sorry but i had to intervene and just wanted to clarify a few things. Modern science has NOT proved pregnancy can occur without a sperm and egg. There is a condition called Pseudocyesis in which the female body develops into a state of pregnancy but there is no fetus. In my humble understanding and from opinions of other scholars, Hasrat Isa (A.S.) did have a father. The ayat is talking of that particular point in time, that no one had touched Hasrat Mariam up to that point and God had promised her that she would have a son who would become a prophet. The Quran came down to clarify these christian ideological fallacies that were accepted at that time. Muslims adapted the christian belief even though the Quran states that Hasrat Mariam will have a son, it is a thing Ordained. That’s a topic for another conversation. I believe you are misunderstanding the concept. What Dr. Syed and others are suggesting is that the concept of Taqwa is wrongly believed and followed. It has a more broader concept than just doing your prayers, fasting, hajj. To get away from rituals and establish the Divine system (NOT SHARIAH LAW-of which there is no such thing) that Allah has commanded us to do. Economic order, Justice, Equality, Liberties and Freedom which we possess in the U.S.A. That is why this country is so successful, because it is following the Islamic principles established 1400 years ago. It doesn’t matter if your kafir, hindu, jewish,etc. anybody who follows that path, he or that nation will succeed. Many Monstrosities have occurred on the basis of Faith since the beginning of time (and unfortunately in so-called islamic nations of today) , so you have to be very careful when you act on your beliefs. It is very hard to let go of magical beliefs that you and I were raised with. You need to use the Quran only ( do not need ahadith) to guide you, because everything you need to know is in the Quran. Also a topic for another conversation.
    I hope i didn’t offend you.

    ASARULISLAM’S COMMENT: Very well said Dr. Babar Ahmad. Nobody could have put it in better words. Parthogenesis is however a different phenomenon. Parthenogenesis (from the Greek παρθένος parthenos, “virgin”, + γένεσις genesis, “birth” is a form of asexual reproduction found in females, where growth and development of embryos occurs without fertilization by a male. In plants, parthenogenesis means development of an embryo from an unfertilized egg cell, and is a component process of apomixis. The term “parthenogenesis” is sometimes used inaccurately to describe reproduction modes in hermaphroditic species which can reproduce by themselves because they contain reproductive organs of both sexes. Parthenogenesis occurs naturally in some invertebrate animal species (e.g. water fleas, aphids, nematodes, some bees, some Phasmida, some scorpion species, and parasitic wasps) and some vertebrates (e.g. some reptiles, fish, and very rarely birds and sharks. This type of reproduction has been induced artificially in fish and amphibians. Normal egg cells form after meiosis and are haploid, with half as many chromosomes as their mother’s body cells. Haploid individuals, however, are usually non-viable, and parthenogenetic offspring usually have the diploid chromosome number. If the chromosome number of the haploid egg cell is doubled during development, the offspring is “half a clone” of its mother. If the egg cell was formed without meiosis, it is a full clone of its mother. The offspring produced by parthenogenesis in species that use the XY sex-determination system have two X chromosomes and are female. In species that use the ZW sex-determination system they have either two Z chromosomes (male) or two W chromosomes (non-viable or female), or (theoretically) if clonal parthenogenesis was involved (also called apomixis), they could have one Z and one W chromosome (female)..TO READ MORE search wikipedia please:

    @Shakeel Tahir – Yes indeed one can.
    It’s just the matter of belief. I’d suggest all the so-called scholars of the age to have an ample study of the Quran and try to comprehend it well. It’s not a child’s play to address and challenge the teachings of Islam.

    Dear friends,
    I feel honored to state that Babar Ahmed, M.D. is a brilliant, young doctor nephew of mine. We have raised all our kids with Qur’anic orientation. Let me add some decisive points to the myth of “Virgin Birth”.
    INJEEL itself, all four gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John), give us the genealogy of Jesus Christ. THREE of them name Joseph Carpenter as the father of Prophet Jesus.
    Most concisely and powerfully, the Final Word of God Al-Qur’an, demolishes the Christian myth embraced by the “Imamist” so-called Muslims. Look at Surah 6 verse 101.
    6:101 Wonderful Originator of the heavens and earth; how can He have a son when He never chose for Himself a mate? He creates all things (and does not procreate 112:3.) and He is the Profound Knower of all things and events.
    [So, how could Mary have a son without a mate? God never changes His laws operative in the universe. Amazingly, three of the four gospels mention Joseph Carpenter as the father of Jesus.]
    Please remember that such dialogues in the Qur’an, “….When no man has touched me and I have never been a woman unchaste …”, between Mary and the angel are taking place when Mary was in the Monastery, not yet married to Joseph.

    Lot of affection to all of you, to Dr. Babar, and hats off to my CANNON OF THE QUR’AN (Dr. Asarulislam Syed).
    🙂
