human, think, God, devil
I read an article on the one site on the subject of creation.Many papers discussed but must caught my attention was issue of the creation of the devil.Among the many opinions that the opinion which i think is very for away from reason.There of those who say that if God had run out of work to create a character that is identical to that which is evil?And some are saying that what he's lucky that God created the devil?Then the other'Gods so bad judge of our faith until he created the devil to disrupt and test us.
My father once said that God college fair because he has put all in the appropriate position of them.

scholars, islam, philosophy
All of my writing about Islam is the result of my lessons from my father because i learned from his just as long as Islam a researcher who was also explore the philosophy.Dad always told me that the Islamic predecessors started their research with the philosophy that they bring Islam to the high civilization and progress.
The philosophy is the study of the nature of things in nature according to human capabilities.All branches of science that is now part of the philosophy before separating himself from philosophy to science itself.

learn, verse, read, first
Islamic history is a long history and complex although Islam came as the last religion that God revealed this earth.So i'll record the historical development of Islam in isolation in accordance with the theaching would i write.
Allah say in the Qur'an:Read!with the name of your Lord who created.who created man from a clot.Read!And your Lord is most noble.who taught by the pen,which teaches man all the unknown.(God almighty with all the correct word).
This is the first verse revealed to the main human Muhammad-god always give love and the security in him-.
According the historian,prophet Muhammad received the first revelation when he was praying in a cave'hira' night of 17 Ramadan or about 6 agustus 610.And age the prophet was 40 years,6 months and 8 days.He was born on 12 Rabiul awwal called the'elephant year'or about 20 april 571.
If we look at the text of this revelation will be clear to us that this verse is God to man command to learn.And this verse also gather between streets learning and learning tools,the first is'read'and the second is a'pen'.In the first revelation was already clear that Islam is a religion that wants its followers to have the knowledge.
My father said''the greatness and progress of a nation can be seen from how much the love and attention to the knowledge,therefore islam encourages muslims to seek knowledge and love to knowledge.And all that attention and performed by former Muslims,until the event of defeat and the occupation of Islamic countries on the westren.Then until now the Islamic people in decline and suffering''.
I said to him''setback because there was a dispute Islamic understanding of Islamic itself''.
Dad smiled and then he said''was not like our pure opinion,an opinion that made Islam the enemy to turn back the facts and confuse the atmosphere,if that's true opinion of the first course Islam will not suffer because of the golden era had any problem existing differences of opinion even better than now.Because the decline of Islam just two things:first defeat of Islam and Islamic countries would in the colonies and second the infidel muslims futher away from religion''.
I asked''how Muslims back to greatness again?''.
"With two things''.
''Whether the two things?''.
''By reading and re-entered in the perfect Islam''.
What do you mean by reading and what do you mean by going back in perfect Islam?".
Read two:read verse of god written and read verse god unwritten and i mean back in Islam is a perfect example of the previous Muslims in underrtanding Islam".
When finished talking then my father said"reading and learning because real knowledge is power".
Actually there are many who want to me to ask my father but i know that he always stop the conversation before the finish to give me space to think....

perfect, islam, religion
Today,my father teaches something different from the days ago.He talk a lot about Islam,a long history of the period before Islam arose in the land Arabic until the arrival of Islam who brought new color for the living,human,natural,social,economic and civilization.My father said''Islam came as the refining of teaching of the apostles and as a historical straightener''.
I'm amazed at all because Islam has a view and rules of life so perfect,so that take a very long time to understand Islam in a maximum.
I have not learned much about Islam because before this my father only taught me about the theory of right thinking.He said''Islam is a religion that provides a place for religious sense,because that Islam is only intended for human understanding''.
That's why i want to know more about Islam than the religious would need to know about religion.I hope to understand Islam correctly and not just follow without clear intructions......
