Yet what it means to be compassionate is itself probably one of the hugest disputes of humans that needs to be resolved.

 

It isn't a dispute - everyone already knows what it means to be compassionate. How to be compassionate is another matter, and I really don't imagine that the blood-soaked, vengeful God of Abraham is the best possible source of how to go about that.

Everything has it's place, and we need God to guidance to help us reflect to realize everything it's proper place.

Yeah, not so much.  I know, for example, that my slippers, cats and beard trimmings don't go in the freezer.  Sussed that one out all on my own, I did.


 

The Quran is not easy to understand if a person doesn't reflect and the most easiest to understand if a person does reflect of all books.

 
I was able to grasp it pretty well I think.  I found it wordy and poorly thought out, but I understood it.

But as the dark magic creates knots and locks, there needs to be an intense will when coming to God's book to reflect, but once that get's going, everything becomes easy.  And the majestic wonders begin to manifest itself and the easy to remember by the book and the family of the reminder, reminder, becomes easy to grasp.

Sounds as if you're telling me that I need to believe in God so I can believe in God.  That's pretty staggeringly stupid of you.

It impresses me. I think the problem is you don't reflect and don't understand the dark forces that try to keep you away from understanding the divine book.

I do enjoy Hebrew National hot dogs! I will pay more for them than Ball Park Franks. But Abraham, Moses, Rabbi so and so have nothing to do with it!

I'm offended that you would post a picture of a rodent!

The reason if studied with surrounding verses and the theme of verses has to do with source of knowledge.  The name of God is a person that God chooses to channel his light to others.  He is the means to God.

This is saying,  never take knowledge unless you verify it through the Messenger and those who hold authority from you. That and never attribute God would you do not know but verify with God. And never interpret God's book per the desires of the devils and their forces, lest you perish.

Imam Hassan (as) is reported to have said "I wonder at a man that is careful/caution regarding what he eats but for his reliance on knowledge is unconcerned."


The devils reveal to their friends so they may mislead us, and if we obey them, we do so only through associating with God others.

The name of God who is God's proof and reminder, that is where the living revelation and it's interpretation and light resides, is to be relied on for knowledge.


This means do not follow innovations of misleading forces, but rather hold on to the Messenger's way and the way of his successors, and hold on to it zealously.

This would mean people who rely on other then God and his guidance, other then his the book and it's designated holders of Authority, the family of the reminder,  all their acts of remembering God's Name will be in vain.

Every ritual has an inward reminder,  and just our bodies are to eat blessed food cleansed of dark impure energies, by remembering God's name, and in case of animals, remembering God's name before they are killed, the same is true regarding who we rely on for enlightenment and spiritual nourishment.


So far I have not shown the verses to prove this with regards to God's Name and food with respect to the subjects above.

Any volunteers that wish to do so?


Poem:


Only God's Name can manifest what the name of God is in full,
And so to rely on other then God's Name to know God's name, 
One will perish, and the path and the light is God's Name,
And the Door to that, is God's Name,
And so Aaron like Samuel, is an instance of God's Name,
For the purpose of widening and relieving the constriction of the heart of Moses,
Aaron and Moses' family are one,
They and their followers tried to manifest the name of God,
But in time, the truth of the image of God and his name,
the position of his word of light brought to life,
became unknown....
And the message of the Torah and Gospels obscured.....
And the same is of the Quran.
The followers and lovers of the family of the reminder of the time,
And many reminders existed in the past,
Do not have the eloquence of Aaron and Ali,
And we feel even more helpless then Moses,
To convey the knowledge of his heart,
And reveal what he knows to humanity,
And Moses was not less eloquent then Aaron,
But rather the situation and limits,
Were such, 
That the people deaf ears caused a knot on his tongue,
But with the time,
We hope humans will go to and seek,
The family of the reminder,
So that to God they may return.

[The Grand Nudger]

...the answer remains "because you're superstitious".

Yep. I think you've been voted most likely to run into a marketplace, explosives strapped to your chest, shouting "Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!"

If that counts as a poem, do my farts count as incredibly skilled jazz solos?

Yep.  I think you've been voted most likely to run into a marketplace, explosives strapped to your chest, shouting "Allahu Akbar!  Allahu Akbar!"

Talking of voting! I reckon there should be a new category this year...The best newcomer called Cod category.. I would win that without a doubt.
