Bali bomber Amrozi finds love in prison, and marries today, while his execution seems to be nearing.
Love
On May 12th condemned terrorist will re-marry his ex-wife Siti Rohmah/Rahma, who he divorced in 2000.
Amrozi’s lawyer from Muslim Legal Team (Tim Pengacara Muslim (TPM)), Mahendardatta, says the love between Amrozi and Rahma had been rekindled of late, because Rahma was a regular visitor to the Nusa Kambangan prison, Cilacap, Central Java, where Amrozi spends his days.
Once Amrozi is gone Mahendardatta says: inilah
That Rahma will carry on the jihad struggle, that is certain. But not as a terrorist, those who call Amrozi a terrorist, well, that’s you people [journalists].
Execution
Meanwhile it seems that the execution of Amrozi, and fellow prisoners Imam Samudra and Muklas aka Ali Ghufron, will take place not in Bali but in Cilacap, and the time is drawing near. Says Abdul Hakim Ritonga of the Attorney General’s Office: inilah
The preparations are almost complete.
The final decision to go ahead with the execution rests with the minister for Law.
Method
Mahendradatta of the TPM had requested clarification from the Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI) on whether death by firing squad was a legitimate method of capital punishment within Islam. detik
After a person has been shot they don’t die for 5 minutes, so it’s torture, but if firing squads are deemed within the bounds of Islamic law [by the MUI], well then that’s it.
Impatient
Another TPM lawyer, Achmad Midhan, says he can’t understand what is happening with the plans for the execution and why the TPM’s third request for a judicial review of the case is being ignored. kompas
If they’re brave enough just do it now! It’s strange, there are over 90 death penalty cases where the legal processes are complete but the executions haven’t been carried out. The Attorney General’s office should respect our client’s efforts to have their cases reviewed.
Update. Amrozi wasn’t allowed to have the marriage go ahead in the prison, so the ceremony took place in Lamongan, his home village, and he was represented by his younger brother Ali Fauzi. kompas
NAD says: Mr Humphrey Samosir
Sorry I am not gonna waste my time on you!
Do your researches before you type
Mr NAD sir,
Should I need to do further research, when my men under my command from element forces of 1st Marine Div have found the largest cache of Bio-Chem (I don’t have to be specific) in Sammara, Iraq?
I’ve got 1xAfghan and 3xIraq deployments under my belt, I can see Iraq as back of my hand at any given time.
Now… if you could tell me please, what kind of textbook should I pursue further to acquire such knowledge as you have mentioned?
Or Should any media mogul DARE to report the whole truth? So at least people have some qualified pointer from both sides.
Whoa.. this would have been a good example of “licking one’s own spit” case.
WMD in Iraq was not necessarily related only to nuclear capability. Bio and Chem are also under direction of UN resolution, classified as WMD.
ps: Salam hangat bagi rekan-rekan Indonesia dimana saja berada.
fullmoonflower
No, no, no. No one who is blessed with a name like you has to sacrifice herself as a syahidah and die in the line of fire like those three poor brothers, peace be upon them.
You, fullmoonflower, are destined to join the ranks of those fullbreasted maiden houri’s whio dwell in the gardens of janna for the delight of those brave warriors who gave their life for the establishment of the Southeast Asian Caliphate and who were unjustly punished for the collateral damage that took the life of a few hundred kaffir on an island that bears the resemblance of a new Sodom and Gomorrah.
BTW, what’s your cup size?
Mr HH Samosir
About that chemical, You will find that much in every country of the world.
Probably that was left over from the US supply to kill KURDISH REBELS
I love how you come up with something totally illogical
the people they went to look for WMD ( Weapons of Mass Destruction )
couldnt find any thing which they could have related to their initial claims.
READ READ your own Journalist, forget about eastern or any non white.
you are one of those arrogant supplier of fabrication who are decieving mojority of the peace loving people of the west.
Sorry I missed your previous fabrication.
Simple answer to your nonsence one by one
Guantanamo Bay
Newly elected President of US has Vowed to close it down to uplift his nations morality.
(lucky we do not have Guantanamo) I rather them to be shot.
Amrozi and his associated has been done with, doest it show you the picture.
How many of Bushes, Howards, Milasewiches, Sharons, naten yahoos, or Israeli generals, ETC have been executed for there worst crimes against humanities.
since every immigrant should be converted prior entering the west. No other Holy book except Bible, others are subject to be confiscated and burnt. etc..etc
Have you been converted to Islam, or any other people living in Indonesia, as Indonesia holds the largest Muslim population in the world, hense you are contradicting yourself here,
India was ruled by Muslims for centuries and still holds more hindus then Muslims
Spain was ruled by Muslims for many centuries again and we all know there is hardly any muslims left. Did we convert all of them or kill all of them
Infact in the history of mankind the only time they lived peacefully when Muslims were ruling the world.
They all co-exist peacefully, there were no greed involved, no invasions, even Christians and other faith were calling muslim to rule over them so they can get rid of their own tyrant rulers.
No other Holy book except Bible, others are subject to be confiscated and burnt. etc..etc
Hindus have done it in India, Americans have done it again and again, there are ignorant people all across the globe, if an incident happen in muslim world that always become a big story.
I use to live in pakistan from 1971 till 1989 Never seen or heard any thing like this.
actually it is forbidden in ISLAM to burn or desrespect any holy book.
So stop Bullying people with your lies!
Luckily sir, we preserve diversity in all aspect including religion, freedom to pursue of happiness, as well a jewel in the crown, freedom of speech. The one which is by large standard, hardly seen within Islamic world.
You are right there some western countries like mine has given us this oppertunity to practice my religion, same as many muslim countries where all the other religions can practice their faith.
Freedom of speech????
Once upon a time! this would have been correct statement but not now
as soon as you say some thing agains US or support the victims of their barbaric actions,
you become the odd one
as your master GW BUSH said “you are with US or with the Terrorists”
to my understanding US is thousand time worst in spreading terror.
So where is my freedom of speech, I am left with no choice.
I have sent many mails to newspapers here but they publish only what they like.
is this what freedom of speech about?
and one last thing
“WE NEVER CLAIM THAT WE HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH IN MUSLIM COUNTRIES AS WELL”
most of them are dictators, Puppets, acting in the interests of their masters.
This is another chapter and I dont think I want to discuss this now.
@ Nad
You are a goose.
The invasion of Iraq was not only a big mistake but very wrong in the eyes of every world citizens. It was Bush’s personal vendetta against Sadam and the Americans are paying a heavy price for this disaster. The US should have bombarded and exited Afghanistan after getting rid of the islamists, instead they are now leaving Iraq in body bags.
If a black man was not voted in, America is doomed. At least Obama can lead their diggers away and save face for whiteys. The war in Iraq is unwinnable and no moslem would want to listen to any whitey in office. The islamists war can be easily won if whiteys had consulted with us and follow Javanese wisdom – ‘If you fight fire with fire, you are creating a bigger mess.’
Mr Aluang Anak Bayang

According to your statement Bush should be prosecuted and senteced to death for murdering hundreds of thousands of Iraqi men women children plus his own country men!
Can you Javanese Help newly elected Black man to get the justice done?

NAD says: About that chemical, You will find that much in every country of the world. Probably that was left over from the US supply to kill KURDISH REBELS
I love how you come up with something totally illogical
Mr Nad sir,
First of all, you are using wrong picture.
It was Iran that had relation to US back at that time. Iraq become “ally” sort of Saddam wants to get rid of Ayatollah Khomeini, by which was the enemy to US as well. So, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. The dictum serves well to become mutual.
NAD says: Amrozi and his associated has been done with, doest it show you the picture. How many of Bushes, Howards, Milasewiches, Sharons, naten yahoos, or Israeli generals, ETC have been executed for there worst crimes against humanities.
To me, those condition was not “apple to apple” comparison. You clearly missed the essence a fine line between complete practical Jihhad and politics. It is on the seed of minds. I don’t endorse those politician as correct, nor hail the jihaddists that oppose them. In as much of collective approach, you should not compare those politicians to Amrozi and Terror Inc.
Why, becasue those politician represents something real, while Amrozi represent entity or entities. Real, because you could point the finger to them. Now.. terror Inc, could you point them as what-a-who’s representation?
NAD says: Have you been converted to Islam, or any other people living in Indonesia, as Indonesia holds the largest Muslim population in the world, hense you are contradicting yourself here.
You got me wrong there, Indonesia IS NOT Islamic country as in Iran and many of gulf states. Quite contrary, have you ever resides in KSA or Syria. What do they do if they might seen kafiruun? (non-Islamic specially Infedels from great satan nation).
Or if this tourist from “the great satan’s nation” brought his holy book, walk into the custom dept in an airport?
Am I contradicting here? you might see the matter exist quite more often sir.
NAD says: Infact in the history of mankind the only time they lived peacefully when Muslims were ruling the world
Sure, by paying Dhimmis and submission as a slave. As well which “muslims” you are refering to? Sunni, Shi’ah, Ismaili, Sufi, Salafi, Nazari, Karajites, Ahmadyya, Baha’i, and the whole nine yard. You need to be specific here, because even between their brethren they are prone to kill each other. CMIIW.
Even in the hand of some secular Ummayad and couples of Shi’ah scholars that would bring vilayat al Fiqih (renaisance in Islamic era), only resulted with crumble to this society. Since every partisan wanted to be Caliphate after Muhammad by FORCE.
I am not trying to be an ignorant, but please do not generalize history from “his-story”. With respect to your wording, for the cultured and educated people, this would be an amusement and quite entertaining.
NAD says: actually it is forbidden in ISLAM to burn or desrespect any holy book. So stop Bullying people with your lies!
Contradicting your self here, or simply gone blind because of fellow muslimin?
As I said, try to go to any other Islamic world where some entities are trying to uphold the law of Syariah in conjunction to self appoint Allah’s law posse. Look even harder the reality surround you. And tell me right in the eye, if I was wrong and tell a lies.
Pakistan back then was in a good climate. See yourself nowadays, in Pakhia, Peshawar, Dhar Ishmail khan, Arandu etc
NAD says: Once upon a time! this would have been correct statement but not now as soon as you say some thing agains US or support the victims of their barbaric actions, you become the odd one as your master GW BUSH said “you are with US or with the Terrorists”

Now, to my sense you’ve missed the whole picture here. Please read and understand this out loud, simple matter, Iran vs Iraq.
When US make friend to Iran, Iraq says: You are undermining Islam !!
on the other hand when US make friend to Iraq, simply Iran says: You are undermining Islam. !!
When US doesn’t want to make friend to either of them, the chorus will cry louder: You are undermining Islam !!
So if you are US, to which BABIES do you want to give the milk?
I hope you do understand this core matter to understand in depth before you make such exclamation.
Freedom of speech? Many muslim scholars think that based on ferses that related to:
“Says: Lakum dinakum waliyadin” which means to you your belief, my belief is mine, is an option to choose within beliefs. Sufi schoolar further says that this is the core basic of freedom of speech within Islam.
Now, related to your statement again, makes me wonder.
Either you don’t know what you are talking about, or those schoolar are simply retarded oxymoron.
I don’t see why that matters are not related to the whole discussion, as you are trying to avoid.
Cheers,

Mr HH Samosir
Sorry but I have to admit that after reading your Load of Crap I was shaken with your convincing lies upon lies.
without going into details
LIE NO 1On record US flamed the war by supporting the culprits as it was in their benifite to ignite that part of the world.
and by the way read my quotation and read your justification and crying out loud, you will see to yourself that how stupid and ignorant your remarks were!
LIE NO 2
To me, those condition was not “apple to apple” comparison
To you may be, as I said you sound worst than those culprits.
but peace loving human being cannot tollerate the killing of millions of fellow human beings on the basis of illegal wars.
politician represents something real,
yeah they reresent REAL terrorism.
LIE NO 3
Indonesia is not Islamic country or Muslim country???????????
then there is no Islamic country in the world. as none of them practice what Islam teaches.
The only incident happened in Pakistan as a result of anti west protest around 9/11 or Iraq war by some loosers.
Whole muslim Ummah condemned the attacks
Alhamdulillah we have people from all different walks of life living in Pakistan and after all this what west is doing to muslims they are living without any fear of being thrown out or critisiced unlike America where hatred crime increase in big number agains Muslims after 9/11
So this was another RUBBISH thrown towards the bin of reality by you Mr.
LIE NO 3

There are many other lunatics like you, on the net propagating this negativity about ISLAM.
and FYI It hasnt done any damage to Islam whatsoever as Islam still is the fastest growing faith and most practicing religion in the world.
Dont you pay tax, I pay tax here in Australia and I enjoy the benifites here.
If this is what you referring to, then I give up on you after this post.
There were no Shia or Sunni or any other sects existed in the time when muslim ruled over the world. we were united, ONE UMMAH (NATION) Britishers were not invented to Break us up into UAE,KUWAIT,Bahrain,IRAN,IRaq etc.
LIE NO 4
have you ever resides in KSA or Syria. What do they do if they might seen kafiruun?
Another example of your ignorance, one need to go there and see how many christians living there in peace and harmony unless the peace is shattered by the Zionists.
LIE NO 5
blockquote>Contradicting your self here, or simply gone blind because of fellow muslimin?
As I said, try to go to any other Islamic world where some entities are trying to uphold the law of Syariah in conjunction to self appoint Allah’s law posse.
I have explained earlier there are less incidents of desrespecting holy books in so called muslim coutries then in one Guantanamo itself.

Nad, you worry me. After reading that you live in my country but don’t support our values and morals I regret my government let you in. Imagine if I was given citizenship in Indonesia and sprouted pro Australian or Western ideals in a mosque or somewhere. Wouldn’t people want to kill me?
Try respecting the people who allowed you to migrate, get a medicare card, live, work and own property. For one, stop supporting these maggots who killed 88 of our people. If you feel so strongly go back home. I’m sure you would be miserable after tasting the good life.
You are a true example of a need for my country to be more serious about who we let in. You are only one step away from the terror cell in Melbourne that was convicted recently.
Andy
HA HA HA (just came back to say few things to my country man/boy/infant)
Nad, you worry me. After reading that you live in my country
land of Aboriginals, you elders were brought here! my elders came here, so we both are migrants. You may have a privillage to call yourself SENIOR MIGRANT.
but don’t support our values and morals I regret my government let you in
This was the hillarious bit, thats why I am not sure about your age!!!
I said I dont like drunkards, Sexual predatators, Pornography, Gambling which is destroying our family system.
And I dont think as Australian, these are our values.
May be you as an individual can claim this as your value and moral, but please dont Criticise my Australia with such filthy values and morals.
The values amongst common Austrlalians are, TRUTHFULNESS, PUNCTUALITY, POLITENESS, SYMPATHY, LOVE FOR OUR COUNTRY, LOVE FOR SPORTS etc.
PLEASE DO NOT PUT US AUSTRALIAN DOWN BY INCLUDING PORN, SEX ETC IN.
Try respecting the people who allowed you to migrate, get a medicare card, live, work and own property.

my fight is with arrogant people whether they are Aussies, Americans or Muslims.
Little you know! how much I have written agaist terrorism,
I always admired you for your comments but this time you really put yourself in my opponents.
For one, stop supporting these maggots who killed 88 of our people.
FALSE ACCUSATION (AND DO YOU KNOW HOW SERIOUS IT BECOMES IN OUR COURT OF JUSTICE IN AUSTRALIA)please do not attach your Ideas to my name.

Mr Nad,
I am sorry for I had to laugh, clearly it was a sustained beautiful agony indeed.
Quite refreshing at its best. I must admit and struck in awe on your exhilarating puns in presenting such ornamental thesis.
Predictable as to scape-goating those Infidels and Jews for every miserable pain within Islam even to the tiniest, without making further in-depth analysis of internal awareness. Oh well just typical sore looser Fundamentalist mind. Such hypocritical element and self denial.
Look, all of your answers from list of lie no.1 to 10 are entirely sidestepping. Without giving me a straight answer, to weigh the reason. My son in 3rd grade could excel similar reasoning without pointing it out of where I had it wrong. The very same reasoning to the people that acknowledge Tsunami in Banda Aceh as a result of underwater nuclear bomb either by the Jews or US. No wonder these people are always knocking the door for opportunity in the West as beggar.
In example on lie no2. NAD says: To you may be, as I said you sound worst than those culprits.but peace loving human being cannot tolerate the killing of millions of fellow human beings on the basis of illegal wars.
Oh I thought you are a cultured and educated one, my baaaad :-))
As I said apple to apple is a pairing within same context. You could point your finger to all of those icons as a representation of a REAL entities. Whilst Amrozi or even Osama are a representation of a WHAT? Meaning, one can eliminate those branches but the stomp and root remains the same. Get it?
NAD says: The only incident happened in Pakistan as a result of anti west protest around 9/11 or Iraq war by some loosers. Whole muslim Ummah condemned the attacks
Read my lips: BULL-FREAKIN-CRAPS. When two planes crashed to twin-tower, these scene was relayed to all over the world. What did you see? People in Islamic countries were cursing those Jihadist? or perhaps DANCING ON THE STREET? Open your eyes and wake up !! Now who’s liying here?
NAD says: There are many other lunatics like you, on the net propagating this negativity about ISLAM. and FYI It hasnt done any damage to Islam whatsoever as Islam still is the fastest growing faith and most practicing religion in the world.
EXACTLY the point. Fastest growing hear means those landlubbers came knocking to the west and with the weapon of their womb to give birth of some 5 – 8 kids while in government benefits. The funny thing, they begin to flock and started to curse the hands that feeds them. As I recall even a DOG never bites the hand that pampered them. Think about that !!
I will raise my hat and bow in respect, if these people stays and keep on fighting from their homeland. Never wanted even a penny from the infidels to feed them. Now to kind of those fighters are my RESPECT.
As well my deepest admiration to the people like Mr Ulil and co, with the enlightenment they have brought to this land. To me, them are the true muslimin and nurul Huda.
I rest my case.
Hi stupid guy,
A prophet is rightly guided by God. When one arrives, the people see, in his true conduct and beautiful speech, evidence of the great working of God. There is no doubt about him being sent, because his character is consistent with what he teaches.
All this applies to our final prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, who is the seal of prophets. So someone who claims to be a prophet, but isn’t one, will be immediatley spotted out.
Therefore, if someone came, nowadays, and invented religion “XYZ”, as you say, by copying and pasting the Books, it will be obvious that only the ignorant would follow him. What I’m trying to say is that Truth is clear from falsehood. It is obvious.
The only prophet to make his appearance in this world is the return of Jesus, peace be upon him, whom both the Christains and Muslims agree will return, just as prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, prophecized. And when he returns, it will be clear as day. Then there will be peace for 7 years or more.
Praise the Lord
Hi Aluang Anak Bayang,
“Moses, Harun, Noah, Abraham, Jesus and Mohammad. Who are these Middle-Eastern dudes by the way?”
If you read the final revelation sent to mankind, you will have an idea of who these righteous men were. They were all prophets of God, sent to there people to deliver the message that there truly is only One God.
They displayed the best of character: Kindness, gentleness, mercy, justice, generosity and most of all, love. They were a shining light in the midst of darkness. History has been illuminated by over 124,000 prophets from the time of Adam, peace be upon him right up to the last prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.
Like lighthouses, pointing the way. They were great teachers with the best wisdom.
Most importantly, they are the best example, as a model, to model our lives. They showed just how we humans may fulfil our role and purpose of life.
You are right, that there are those people who transgress the bounds, break the laws set by God and trample upon peoples rights. They are the ones who need to be shown the correct way to live, not harshly, but mercifully and gently.
Wisdom is very important for us, because it enables us to do the things in the best way: putting the right thing in the right place.
And The Noble Quran is full of wisdom, my friend…
Nad-The values amongst common Austrlalians are, TRUTHFULNESS, PUNCTUALITY, POLITENESS, SYMPATHY, LOVE FOR OUR COUNTRY, LOVE FOR SPORTS etc.
PLEASE DO NOT PUT US AUSTRALIAN DOWN BY INCLUDING PORN, SEX ETC IN.
Where did I mention porn or sex anywhere in my post? You must be thinking about it yourself to include it. The values I was talking about are truth, justice, liberty and freedom of speech. Those values that are despised by muslims particularly the Taliban, JI and Al Qaeda. Now you want to respond or are you seriously signed off now?
Hi HH Samosir,
Fastest growing doesn’t only mean newborns.
Many people, when they realise the truth, embrace Islam. This can only happen when our loving Creator allows it. He chooses who it is that will be guided and who will remain in the dark. It’s His choice.
Our loving Lord responds to those who ask Him for things. And the best things to ask for are guidance, forgiveness, understanding and knowledge.
Instead of being antagonistic to Islam, why not try to understand it?
O our Merciful Lord, please guide me, my family, my people and the whole world. Amen.
Hi Andy,
As a Muslim Australian, I’ve been living here since I was 4 years old.
From my personal experience, I think this is the best country in the world, because it helps the people in every way: The elderly, the jobseekers, the sick, the weak, the homeless, the indigent etc.
So I believe that this country is truly blessed.
Al-humdulillah, Praise the Lord.
Hi Nour,
Can you please explain why you are so proud with the quantity of Moslems, I would be prouder if the quality that actually increases.
I am not bagging Islam, but to be honest Islam has been associated with terrorism, intolerance etc. I know partly the media is to be blamed, but you can’t argue that there are some bad ones out there.
Living in Australia you would know that there are some ullemas (CMIIW) that preach hatred and blame non-moslems for everything.
I know that there are good Moslems out there, majority are, but we hardly see any action or condemnation for these atrocious acts.
Nour said the following: –
Many people, when they realise the truth, embrace Islam. This can only happen when our loving Creator allows it. He chooses who it is that will be guided and who will remain in the dark. It’s His choice.
Is that (marked in italics) quite true? Isn’t the ‘gift’ of free will one of the central tennants and, in that regard, isn’t it our job to choose to accept, or reject, religion per se? And assuming acceptance, didn’t the Prophet (pbuh) also say something along the lines of ‘…to you, your religion and to me, mine….’?
It seems that here we have God saying, in effect, ‘..accept or reject Me..’ and his Prophet saying ‘..find your own path to Him..’.
Now also assuming that you accept the Quaran as the unadulterated word of God and the Haddith as correct guidance for living one’s life in the framework of Islam, how can you ascribe a ‘choice’ to God which He doesn’t seem to give himself? Moreover, assuming you are correct then religion is involuntary and free will would, of necessity, be a myth would it not? Therefore, what would be the point of embracing Islam until and unless so called to do so?
To me, from a theological point of view, this make a mockey of the act of submission; true submission can only be a voluntary act as anything other is only coercion. And I beleive it was the Prophet (pbuh) who said one cannot be compelled or coerced to beleive, was it not?
Assalamualaikum Nour,
You seemed well versed in the quran. As a fellow moslem, we should unite and show the kaffir that the Wests would not be where they are if they haven’t stole UFO technology from the quran.
As a teaser for Andy and other christians, who die on the cross – Judas or Jesus?
Wasalam.

Well said, Nour.
If Allah had not opened the eyes of the Australian policy makers, the white policy would still be around. Allah is all wise.
Hi Monyetmerah, thank you for your reply,
You are 100% right, the focus should be on quality. It is true we have the quantity and that is a good thing, but the Muslims themselves still need to strive to improve themselves and our Ummah.
Personally, there are some good Muslims around me who practice the religion as it should be practiced. They are kind and loving. That’s from my experience. But too often, I see in the media things that hurt very much, the image of Islam.
When we truly try to study the way the prophets lived, especially the final prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, we can get a glimmer of light as to how to properly live our lives.
A poor example is this: When you buy a T.V or anything for that matter, it comes with an instruction manual, does it not? Well our instruction manual is the Quran and our example of how to implement the Quran is the final prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. He was born about 570 years after Jesus, peace be upon him.
Search for true knowledge and you will see just how important his example is. He was kind, loving, caring, wise, he kept good relations with kith and kin, he showed mercy to all around him, he was a shining light in the midst of darkness.
Hi stupid guy, thanks for your imput,
That quote you made is not the philosophy of Islam.
Islam, in its pure form, teaches peace, mercy, guidance, justice and love.
It teaches about the One True God. That He is more Merciful than a mother is to her child. That His Mercy overcomes His anger. That He cares and loves His creatures.
And He wants the best for us. He has made this life just as a simple test to see who believes and who rejects. It’s choice. But ultimately, He knows the choice that you will make and He knows your end. He knows everything. Let me give you an example.
Hollywood is well known for the awesome movies it makes. But a quick glimpse of how movies are made will shed light on a very important point. All movies have a writer. The writer determines everything that will happen in the movie: the begining, the middle and the end. When the story is accepted, then the movie is made. So we have a script. And the producer sees that everything goes to plan.
The exact same way, God has written everything, before He made this world. He knows what is going to happen at all times, because He is the “Writer” and the “producer”. He determined what is going to happen even before He made this world. That shows His awesome knowledge, Wisdom and Power.
I hope that answers your question Geordie. It’s called destiny.
You do have a choice. But God knows the choice you will make. He encompasses everything by His knowledge and power.
Thank you Aluang Anak Bayang for your reply,
Salam Alaykum
It is true that the knowledge of science etc came from the Quran and the West have made use of it.
If you look into the Quran, you will see many scientific miracles that lead to great developments in science. This knowledge was given to Muhammad, peace be upon him even before these discoveries were made. Amazing.
Please explain what you mean by “white policy.”

Nour, not such a good analogy (otherwise there’d be no Academy awards for anyone other than the writers and all others would be automatons) but I get the thrust of your point. That said, though the following statement: –
You do have a choice. But God knows the choice you will make. He encompasses everything by His knowledge and power.
conflicts with your earlier statement: –
Many people, when they realise the truth, embrace Islam. This can only happen when our loving Creator allows it. He chooses who it is that will be guided and who will remain in the dark. It’s His choice.
There’s a whole heap of difference from being able to predict my choice ‘But God knows the choice you will make’ and making the choice for me; ‘He chooses who it is that will be guided and who will remain in the dark. It’s His choice’. As I said in my earlier post, the latter is – in my view – theologically unsound as it makes submission unimportant if not, indeed, redundant.
In my view, the Quran admonishes us to ‘search’ for the truth and ‘choose’ whether to submit to it or not; having foreknowledge of the outcome of that choice (as one would expect from an omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent entity) does not infer a predetermined (predestined, if you prefer) outcome because that would, of necessity, abrogate our choice in the matter.
And unless I’m very much mistaken, there’s nothing in the Quran that states this is the case and, therefore, Nour, are you ascribing something to God that he does not claim for himself? The Quran is full, complete and sufficient for guidance for all Muslims at all times is it not? And, most importantly, it requires no interpretation therefore is your cinematic analogy mere innovation?

Cuk,
All your people? Ha, don’t make me laugh.
I am planning to send you there so the Palestinians have something to laugh about.
