Thank you
@Ferdos200, “I am the servant of the Qur’an as long as I have life.
I am the dust on the path of Muhammad, the Chosen One.
If anyone quotes anything except this from my sayings,
I am quit of him and outraged by these words” – Rumi
Learn to accept the facts.
@Ferdos200, “Flee to God’s Koran, take refuge in it
there with the spirits of the prophets merge.
The Book conveys the prophets’ circumstances
those fish of the pure sea of Majesty” – Rumi
Rumi also states in his D?w?n:
“The Sufi is hanging on to Muhammad, like Abu Bakr.”
Looks like Ferdos can’t read.
@mariagrmaria because of your comment i am got going to respond these stupid idiots who keep making me upset by being uneducated and try to give Rumi’s credit to Islam
oops, I mean: SCIENCE didnt give u a brain for nothing!
we call many people, including our fellow Afghans, illiterate ‘n uneducated while those of us questioning Islam arent any different either. we dont read the whole truth ourself ‘n try to be cool by talking shit. exactly same goes for those whom WE call illiterate. God didnt give u a brain for nothing
where do u guys come up with such lies? first of all, bibi Aisha died as a virgin ‘n anal sex is forbidden in Islam, so this mean our prophet didnt even touch his wife! ‘n just like Urbanguru said, dont shout around ’cause of what u heard from people, just read the entire Quran for goodness sake! the fact that Arabs invaded Persia ’cause of which we Persians think we ‘re divided is our own problem, why did we let ourselves get influenced by Arabs in first place?
PLEASE,DON’T SPOIL THIS MAGNIFICENT RUMI’S WORDS OF UNITY OF THE WHOLE WORLD ,with comments about religeons etc etc…I am Christian but THIS POEM MAKES ME UNDERSTAND THAT ..FIRST I AM HUMAN and the most important is LOVE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@urbanguru by what you Muslims told me all my life it seems as if Allah is a little kid! one day he says something horrible the enext day he says spmething else aganist what he had said yesterday. read about Muhammad’s sitanic verses. you guys think Sulman rashdi made his book out? no no man! they were all real evidence.
@urbanguru i don’;t give a damn what site tells me what! i care about what Sayedul Bukhari tells me! i read what Muhammads close friends wrote. they didn’t write to make Muhammad look bad they wrote to justify their actions and at the end they added ” Allah knows best” yes he does know best you created him so must know best. Ayesha a kid sometimes tells Muhammad that what kind of God is this Allah that he always seems to be ready to respond to your desires,
@urbanguru thats what i am exactly asking you to do! don’t run from the truth! don;t make up lies. in Islam u r alowed to lie for a good cause. converting people to Islam and lying to them is a lie for good cause in your opinnions. so you guys always go one lying about Islam to make people convert. sadly you always fail
@Ferdos200 As for Aisha age, there are many good sites that refute you, you just need to do a little search in google. I don’t have the will or energy to argue with you more, I don’t want to waste my time explaining things that even a 5-year old would easily understand. Have a nice life kid and try to accept the truth, don’t deny the facts.
@Ferdos200 You are taking the verse out of context. Islam can’t be understood by reading only one verse. Like I said, it is not forbidden for muslims to take christian and jewish friends, even unbelivers, read the verses i cited. And read the site i showed you. Also, like I said, you don’t know what kind of friends Rumi had. You also don’t know if they were unbelivers. Cont.
@Ferdos200 Rumi knew much much more about Islam than you, and he said that he was a servant of the Qur’an. Is that so hard for you to understand? Why does that hurt you? Why are you running from the truth? Accept the truth and move on with your life. You are living in a fantasy world. I have refuted you many times and I will easily do so again, even if I need to draw it out for you. Cont.
@Ferdos200, hehe what a sad person. Look at the way you are expressing yourself, like a complete immature brat. You should wash your moth with a soap. Your parents must really be proud of you. You talk like a primitive, uncivilizied, uneducated bushman. You can run from the reality all you want, but it always catchs up with you. Eventually you will realize that kid, you just need to grow up a bit. Cont.
@urbanguru listen you Muslim peiece of shit! stop insulting people when they ask yoou stuff and tell the truth! fuck head epiece of crap Muslim the only clown i see is you fuck head. cock sucker of Arabs why do you get mad when someone tell the truth? shit head go study your religion fuck head you don;t even know what you are talking about! Rumi according to Quran is not a Muslim i don;t give a fuck if he made a mistake or not but he is not a Muslim to me let him say whatever he wanted
@urbanguru listen man! explain the verse i told you! explain sura 3 vers 28? explain why Muhammad married a 6 years old kid and had sex with her when she was 9? explain why Muhammad married his daughter inlaw? before Muhammad couldn’t have sex with a 6 year old kidhe was playing with her! telll me what is it?
@Ferdos200, I just completly refuted you. What else do you need? Read what I wrote clown!
@Ferdos200 Every single human being makes misstakes, that doesn’t mean they have become dissbelivers/kafirs, like I said, that’s only for God to decide! Now please buzz of kid and leave Rumi alone, he would be ashamed of you. Your heart is full of hate, and you do nothing but spread hate. EXACTLY the opposite of what Rumi did, so please don’t try to make us think you care about him and his poetry.
@Ferdos200, You can also take a look at this site, talking just about that subject: islamicity . com / articles / Articles . asp ? ref = IC0608-3072 (remove the spaces). Clearly you have not a slightest idea of what you are talking about! Sixth, there is no such thing as a perfect beliver. cont.
@urbanguru talk about the vers i told you! don;t explain all these stupid stuff that Muhammad said when his army was weak. explain the vers i told you. as a Muslim you are alowed to lie too by the way so you can lie all you want but be careful i am an educated ex.muslim. i knew Islam well when i decided to leave itl.
@Ferdos200 Another verse: “God only forbids you to turn in friendship towards such as fight against you because of [your] faith, and drive you forth from your homelands, or aid [others] in driving you forth: and as for those [from among you] who turn towards them in friendship; it is they, they who are truly wrongdoers!” (Quran 60:9)
@Ferdos200 Here is a verse that EASILY refutes your ridicilous statment: “As for such [of the unbelievers] as do not fight against you on account of [your] faith, and neither drive you forth from your homelands, God does not forbid you to show them kindness and to behave towards them with full equity: for, verily, God loves those who act equitably. (Quran 60:8)”. Cont.
@Ferdos200 Forth, if Rumi HIM SELF said “As long as I live, I am the servant of the Qur’an”, who are you to say otherwise? Who are you to deny him that? Why can’t you get it through your thick skull that he was a practicing muslim? In his poetry, he advocates Islam and the Qur’an, if you knew anything about him or Islam, you would know that. Fifth, you can’t take verses from the Qur’an out of context. Cont.
@Ferdos200, luckily you are not the one who decides who is a beliver and who is not. That is only for God to decide. You are the one that sounds like a terrorist, not me. First of all, you can’t possibly know what kind of friends someone has, especially 800 years ago. Second of all, you can’t possibly know who is a beliver and who is not. Third, you are not in a position to interpret the Qur’an and it’s meaning, seeing how big of an ignoramus you are.
