News flash!
USA returns to Morse code 10 years after it was last commercially used by USA ships. 25 July 2010. Now SARFEN has 3 websites. The first 2 are full. The newest is called Radio Somalia. Click here- Islam and Somalia.Music, song, musical instruments are not prohibited, not haram (haraam), not forbidden in Islam. Music would not be allowed at the time of Muslim festivals if music was evil or if God (Allah) prohibited music. Hadith (Stories from early Islam) tell us of Prophet Muhammad and Aisha listening to singers using musical instruments in Aisha’s house during a Muslim festival). Click to see more using English names http://sites.google.com/site/somaliaamateurradio/islam002 Click to see more using Arabic names http://sites.google.com/site/somaliaamateurradio/islam002a Did God (Allah) order Muslims to kill Muslims in Somalia? or al rajm the stoning to death for adultery in Islam? or the killing of homosexual men and women in Islam? (Allah, God warns in) Quran 24:1 (Here is) a chapter which We (Allah, God) have revealed and ordered, and in which We (Allah, God) make clear (to you) so that you may act properly. (But some people have doubt and reject what Allah, God said is clearly revealed in Quran verse 24:2 that immediately follows, seeking to add their interpretations by including stoning to death even though Allah, God has said Quran 24:2 is clearly revealed so that you may act properly. How can Allah, God Himself make clearer that he has not ordered stoning to death? But some cannot understand even when they read in the Quran what Allah, God has told them and they still reject it seeking something other than what Allah, God has ordered in His Quran). Click to see more using English names Click to see more using Arabic names Disagreement in early Islam about which son of Ibrahim (Abraham) was to be sacrificed. Some said Ishmael (Ismail) was the son to be sacrificed however in every chapter (Quran chapters 11, 15, 19, 29, 37) about Abraham (Ibrahim) in Allah’s (God’s) Quran “the good news” birth is the story of the angels of Allah (God) telling Abraham (Ibrahim) of the coming of the miracle birth of Isaac (Ishaq). Before “the good news” Abraham (Ibrahim) leaves his father and the idol worshippers and after “the good news” the angels continue on their journey to punish the people of Lot (Lut). It was a “good news” miracle birth because Sarah gave birth to Isaac (Ishaq) when it is normally impossible for an old woman to give birth).
In the different chapters of the Quran about Abraham (Ibrahim) the “good news” birth sometimes names Isaac (Ishaq) and sometimes Isaac (Ishaq) is not named but the story is always exactly the same story so this shows that the “good news” miracle birth is always about the birth of Isaac (Ishaq). Quran chapter 37 reveals that it is the son in the “good news” birth (which is the story of the birth of Isaac, Ishaq) that is the son to be sacrificed by Abraham (Ibrahim). |
