May Allah swt forgive me. Brother can i ask you about the Cattle miracle i.e modification ? I was reading tafseer on that verse and apparently, the verse only talks about the idolators slitting the cattle to offer them to Gods or make them Gods(forgot what it was) but the tafseer did not mention and GM process.
How can we be sure the verse is not talking about that, and is talking about people actually changing the creation of Allah genetically, rather than just slitting their ears to offer them to Gods or as a pagan worshipping ritual?
I was browsing rebuttals on the sub-atomic particle miracle, and some people say God did not use the word Atom, but he used the word 'Ant'. How do we adress that?
Excellent question and topic that you raise, dear brother! I get this nonsense from Sunnies every once in a while, and it goes similar to the following:
"If Ibn Abbas (or ibn Kathir, or Jalalyn, or Nawawi, etc...) didn't interpret the Noble Verse like you did, then what makes YOUR interpretation valid? Why should we believe you??"My Response:1- Let us stop being computerized robots and use our GOD-given brains. This time is our age, and the Holy Quran NOW belongs to our time, and not the time of the pious people of old, who lived 1000+ years before us.
2- The Noble Verse Itself gives the clear Prophecy about satan and his battle with mankind. Let us read It:
(from
http://www.answering-christianity.com/cloning.htm)
[004:119] `And assuredly I will lead them astray and assuredly I will arouse in them vain desires, and assuredly I will incite them and they will cut the ears of cattle; and assuredly I will incite them and they will alter ALLAH's creation فليغيرن خلق الله.' And whoever takes Satan for a friend instead of ALLAH, he certainly suffers a manifest loss.Question: Do you see any pagan rituals mentioned in this Noble Verse? No. The pagan rituals was an interpretation by the pious Scholars of old, may Allah Almighty send His Peace, Mercy and Blessings upon them all.
Notice the Prophecy: ALTER ALLAH'S CREATION (
فليغيرن خلق الله)! Ask any Arab, Muslim or non-Muslim about the Arabic Word here (
فليغيرن). If he denies that the Word means to fundamentally change or modify something, or to make a big alteration, then know that he is a liar from Hell! The context is crystal clear, and the magnitude of the Word is also big:
(a)- To alter the creations of GOD! The alteration here is not minor. It's major! Otherwise, Allah Almighty would not have spoken this Noble Verse in this context.
(b)- The alteration of GOD Almighty's creations is an encompassing one to many if not ALL of the creations of GOD Almighty that humans have control over.
(c)- Why is the statement encompassing and vast? Because it says "TO ALTER THE CREATIONS OF GOD!".
Cloning Today:I don't wish to elaborate too much on this point here, because I've done this very thoroughly at:
http://www.answering-christianity.com/cloning.htm. I just want to make the following brief points:
1- Cloning did indeed start with the slitting or cutting of the cattles' ears. That is a confirmed fact from Western Government and Scientific Websites that I quoted and posted in the article.
2- The ear is the favorite part of the body for extracting somatic cells for cloning. This is what the Western Scientists said, and not me.
AND GET THIS: This is the part that they used to do their first clone!
3- Man has indeed successfully cloned cattles (ALTERED ALLAH'S CREATIONS), and he did it with the slitting of the ear. And it's going to get worse and worse from here on.
4- Satan wants to mock Allah Almighty's Human-Creation. The reason for this is because WE were the cause of his curse and his doom. His rejection to bow down under our feet is what doomed him. So in return, he wants to make a complete mockery out of this very creation that caused his doom.
I ask you and ask everyone here in the Holy Name of GOD Almighty,
what does Ibn Abbas' and Ibn Kathir's interpretations have to do with our age today, and with the Quranic Prophecies that are being fulfilled before our naked eyes in our age today? They existed well beyond 1000 years before us. Why do the deniers and the slaves of these people (and these pious scholars are innocents from them) insist on denying the Glorious Quran's Miracles and Prophecies, today, when they are indisputably Miraculous?
Again, please visit:
www.answering-christianity.com/ac20.htm#links to see the Great Miracles of the Glorious Quran.
The Miracle is clear. This one example here is a STUNNING Prophecy that had been fulfilled. It was made for US today. And I believe It is an End of Time Prophecy. It's a Sign for the Hour, from among many many Signs that were told in the Glorious Quran and the Hadiths.
I hope this helps, insha'Allah.
Take care,
Osama Abdallah

. Good thing I didn't include the Shias in this one. I was very close to mentioning them right in "...since deception is a religion and a way of life for them...." hehehehehhe
