The Strange Figure of Speech of the Hypocrites Vis-Ã -vis the Quran
This is a new series (1-26) of Verse No. in the Bible versus the Quran.
Verse No. 26 in the Old Testament says: And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Verse No. 26 in the New Testament says: Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying,
Verse No. 26 in the Noble Quran says: or like a rainstorm from the sky, wherein is darkness, thunder and the flash of lightning. they thrust their fingers in their ears by reason of the thunder-claps, for fear of death, Allah encompasses the disbelievers (in his guidance, his omniscience and his omnipotence).
------------------------
The verse No. 26 in the Old Testament is Genesis 1:26
The verse continues talking about the last day of the creation of the heavens and the earth, it says: And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Man was created the same day that the wild animals were created
Now we are on the sixth day of the creation of the heavens and the earth; on that day God created the beasts, the wild animals and the livestock as well as man i.e. man was made the same day that the beasts were made.
Is man the last of all the God' creatures? in Bible versus Quran
According to Genesis 1:26, the sixth day of the creation of the heavens and the earth was done and Man was made last of all the creatures. In the Quran: Allah is still Creating and He Will Create new creatures which WE DO NOT KNOW.
Verse 16:8 of the Noble Quran says:
QARIB: He has created for you horses, mules, and donkeys, which you ride and as an adornment; and He creates what you do not know.
It should be emphasized that the verb create in this verse (16:8) comes in the present tense, that in Arabic indicates the permanence and the continuity of the action both in the present time and in the future. This declares that Allah is still creating and He will create new creatures which WE DO NOT KNOW.
One has to become aware of this fact!
------------------------
The verse No. 26 in the New Testament is Matthew 2:1
The verse says: Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying,
Who is Herod?
Herod was the king of Judea who (according to the New Testament) tried to kill Jesus by ordering the death of all children under age two in Bethlehem.
why did king Herod want to kill Jesus?
The Biblical Scholars say that, Herod was ruthless and power hungry. He would stop at nothing. Previously, he had murdered his wife, his three sons and his uncle, as well as countless other people. Jesus was a threat to him so killing many infants in order to get rid of Jesus was Herod's plan.
Who are the Magi?
The Magi are the wise men, generally assumed to be three (or more) in number, who traveled to Bethlehem to pay homage to the infant Jesus. They are the class of Zoroastrian priests in ancient Media and Persia, reputed to possess supernatural powers.
Magus is one of the Magi who is a magician, sorcerer, astrologer. or a Zoroastrian priest.
From Middle English magi, from Latin mag?, pl. of magus, sorcerer, magus, from Greek magos, from Old Persian maguš.
Magi in Arabic is Magous
Magi is translated from Arabic to English as Magians
However, Magi in Arabic is "Magous"
In contrary to English, Magous is the plural form; its single form is "Magousee".
Magous are three or more in number; Magousee is only one person.
The Magous are the worshippers of the sun and fire;
They believe that anything either comes from the light or the darkness.
The Good Things come from the light. The evil things come from the darkness.
That is why they worshipped the sun that is the source of light at day; and the Fire that was the source of light at night. They had temples, priests, servants and festivals for the Fire that is considered as god in their faith. The Magous do not believe in the Hereafter.
Now the question is: Are the Magi wise men? Is the one who sets on and set off the Fire and worships it a wise man?
------------------------
Verse No. 25 in the Noble Quran is 2:19,
Chapter 2 is Surah AL-BAQARA (THE COW),
Verses 2:8-20 are talking about the hypocrites
Verse 2:8 (See article 15) states that the hypocrites say: 'we believe in Allah and the last day, ' yet they are not believers.
Verse 2:9 (See article 16) says: They think to beguile Allah and those who believe, and they beguile none save themselves; but they perceive not.
Verse 2:10 (See article 17) says: "There is a sickness in their (the hypocrites) hearts which Allah has increased; for them there is a painful punishment because they lie."
Verse 2:11 (See article 18) says: when it is said to them: Do not corrupt in the land; they (the hypocrites) say: we are only reformers.
Verse 2:12 (See article 19) says: are not they indeed the mischief-makers? but they perceive not.
Verse 2:13 (See article 20) says: and when it is said to them: believe as the people believe they say: shall we believe as the fools believe? now surely they themselves are the fools, but they do not know
Verse 2:14 (See article 21) says: when they meet those who believe, they say, 'we, too believe. ' but when they are alone with their devils, they say to them: 'we follow none but you, we were only mocking
Verse 2:15 (See article 22) says: Allah shall pay them back their mockery, and he leaves them alone in their inordinacy, blindly wandering on.
Verse 2:16 (See article 23) says: these are they who have bartered guidance for error: but their traffic is profitless, and they have lost true direction,
Verse 2:17 (See article 24) says: their parable is like the parable of one who kindled a fire but when it had illumined all around him, Allah took away their light, and left them in utter darkness; they do not see.
Verse 2:18 (See article 25) says: deaf, dumb, and blind, they will not return (to the path).
Verse 2:19 continues talking about the hypocrites; and gives a strange social and scientific simile whereby the likeness of the hypocrites vis-à-vis the Quran. The verse says: or like a rainstorm from the sky, wherein is darkness, thunder and the flash of lightning. they thrust their fingers in their ears by reason of the thunder-claps, for fear of death, Allah encompasses the disbelievers (in his guidance, his omniscience and his omnipotence).
The meaning of verse 2:19:
Or like a rainstorm from the sky. This is another simile or parable, whereby the likeness of the hypocrites vis-à-vis the Quran is like rain that has poured down from heaven at night onto the wilderness, (wherein is darkness, thunder and the flash of lightening). Such is the Quran.
For it has come down from Allah; it contains darkness as embodied in the exposition of seditions, thundering of rebuke whereby fear is instilled, lightening of exposition, instruction and promise.
They thrust their fingers in their ears by reason of the thunder-claps, due to the sound of the thunder (for fear of death), for fear of misfortune and death. Similarly, the hypocrites used to put their fingers in their ears when they heard the Quran recited, delivering promises and threats like thunder-claps, and this they did for fear of death, i.e. for fear of being drawn to it.
And Allah encompasses the disbelievers and hypocrites, i.e. He knows them and will gather them in Eternal Fire.
In other words, the likeness of them is as a cloudburst, that is, [the likeness of them is] as people are during rain; out of the heaven, out of the clouds, in which clouds is darkness, layer upon layer, and thunder, the angel in charge of them;
it is also said that this [thunder] is actually the sound of his voice; and lightning, the flash caused by his voice which he uses to drive them. They, the people under the rain, put their fingers, that is, their fingertips, in their ears against, because of, the thunderclaps, the violent sound of thunder, in order not to hear it, cautious of, fearful of, death, if they were to hear it.
Similar is the case with these: when the Quran is revealed, in which there is mention of the unbelief that is like darkness, the threat of punishment that is like the sound of thunder, and the clear arguments that are like the clear lightning, they shut their ears in order not to hear it and thereby incline towards [true] faith and abandon their religion, which for them would be death; and Allah encompasses the disbelievers in both knowledge and power, so they cannot escape Him.

YUSUFALI: or (another similitude) is that of a rain-laden cloud from the sky: in it are zones of darkness, and thunder and lightning: they press their fingers in their ears to keep out the stunning thunder-clap, the while they are in terror of death. but Allah is ever round the rejecters of faith!

ever hear of a men's hairstyle called the "sexy bitch" or sexy beast"?
a friend of mine said that a coworker was gonna cut his hair and thats the style it was gonna be but she won't describe it...we're trying to figure out what it will look like
Children are a very easy target for apparels, gears and toys. If you have just opened a biz with products for kids, there are a lot of options for you on how to market your materials. To help the sales that you are getting through your store, aid it by using catalog printing.
What must be inside your catalogs is based on the type of kids that you want to buy the products from you. You can do this by conducting a market research. Do not underestimate this step because this can make or break the next procedures that you will be doing with your business.
When you already know your market by heart, contact the right printing company. It’s now time to avail their services for catalog printing.
These are only five ways on how you can capture the kids that you are targeting through your catalogs.
1. Fill the catalog with colors
Children see life as a colorful and happy world. Suit their moods and add as many colors as possible on your tools.
This will be most effective for pre-school kids. Parents will make them look at your material to learn about the colors. And as they get exposed to your products, they will definitely ask and plead their parents to buy the products that catch their interests.
For older kids, you can capture their interests by capitalizing on their favorites. Most adult girls like pink, while most adult guys like blue. This generalization can help your catalogs to succeed.
2. Use a lot of graphics
Along with the pictures of your products, you must include graphics like heart and balloons for girls. Boys will be attracted to swords, masks or robots. They must feel excited about every page of your marketing tool.
Your aim is for those kids to take their pick among the catalog then tell their parents about it.
3. Use characters or known celebrities that your target market will be attracted to.
You must first know who they are looking up to. If it’s a character or a superhero, creating your own superheroes will be less costly than using the patented ones.
If you can afford the talent fee of their chosen celebrity, then that will also do a lot of positive trick towards your tool.
4. The texts must be simple and easy to understand.
The kids must easily grasp the words that you are presenting them. They have short attention span. So capture that short time by being effective.
And besides, most of the reading will be done by the person who is going to be paying for the purchase. So you need not worry the kids with elaborate explanation about your products.
5. Use a lot of pictures
Children will base their choice on the pictures of the products. You must hire a professional for this purpose. You must make your materials appealing.
You can also use pictures that suggest on how they can use and where they can use your products. This way, they will not only be excited about the product, they will be looking forward to what they can do with them.
You must be excited about your own catalog printing. And it must reflect on the output.
Movies About Killer Fish Who Should Be Kept in Giant Safe Fish Tanks Pt. 1
The sea is a mysterious and strange place. There are immensely deep section of the ocean that still have not been discovered or studied, which makes the ocean a subject of much terror and horror in people. Film makers have taken this mysteriousness and horror of the water to make some of the scariest but often unbelievable horror movies based on killer fish or sharks. Here is a list of films about killer fish who should be kept in large fish tanks so that they cannot cause anymore terror or death.
Jaws
The classic horror film that made a generation of people afraid to go into the water, “Jaws” is a landmark horror film by Steven Spielberg that still evoke terror in viewers. The modern day fear of sharks, most of which are relatively harmless to humans, can still be traced back to this 1975 film. Since then, sharks have become one of the most feared fish and most feared animals in the world, largely because of their film depiction in “Jaws” and the subsequent sequels. The “Jaws” film and franchise is so successful there have been 3D movies, theme park rides and video games based on the shark terror. One of those sequels, “Jaws: The Revenge” is largely considered one of the worst movies ever made, showing how quickly downhill the franchise went after being
Piranha (1978)
Largely a parody of “Jaws,” “Piranha” is a comedy horror film about a swarm of killer piranhas (who in real life have never been known to kill humans.) The film is of course filled with bikini clad women skinny dipping in the waters only to find themselves food for a swarm of vicious, murderous, piranhas that leave nothing but a pool of blood behind. There is a love sotry somewhere in the picture but most people have made “Piranha” into a cult film because of the intentional and unintentional comedy and gratuitous piranha killing scenes. The film spawned a number of sequels and a remake in 1995. Currently, Alexandre Aja, the talented French horror director who is known for his remake of “The Hills Have Eyes” and his wonderfully horrible “Haute Tension,” is said to be working on a 3D remake of the “Piranha” franchise.

Hello and welcome to another edition of, The Showtime Chronicles. My last article featured my own predictions on Wrestlemania. This article will be the same except this time; I will give you predictions about the upcoming TNA PPV, Destination X. Last year there were great matches at the 2008 Destination X... This year I expect everything to be even better. Well let's go with my predictions...
I am not sure if this match has been confirmed yet but I am sure that it will happen at Destination X. I consider both Booker T and AJ Styles legends so this title match would be great. AJ Styles has been in TNA since the early days when TNA opened. Booker T and AJ Styles both have different wrestling techniques so I think that their match should be exciting. AJ is truly "Phenomenal" in the ring. He has already made history in TNA and he is a TNA Legend. Booker T is the current TNA Legends Champion and he hasn't lost the title yet to anyone. During this match, I hope I don't have to see The Main Event Mafia interfere or Sharmell helping Booker win... I would want to see a good match because I know that both AJ Styles and Booker T can put on a great match and a great show. I expect nothing less than a great match but you never know what will happen. What I hope to see is "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles deliver a Styles Clash to Booker T and get the win... Well that is what I think is going to happen... At Destination X there will be a new TNA Legends Champion and he is AJ Styles!
Winner: "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles
Samoa Joe vs. Scott Steiner
At Destination X I think we will see the return of "The Samoan Submission Machine" Samoa Joe. Samoa Joe has been out for a while now. The Main Event Mafia took him out but now Samoa Joe came back and he is after Scott Steiner. If I am not mistaken, last week it was the first time that Samoa Joe actually attacked Scott Steiner. I don't think Samoa Joe and Scott Steiner ever faced each other in a match so I think that now it will be the perfect time and the perfect storyline. One thing I am not getting is how come Samoa Joe doesn't feud with Kevin Nash. Kevin Nash cost Samoa Joe his world title. I think that Samoa Joe versus Scott Steiner will be a great match but it would have been good if he would have faced Kevin Nash. Samoa Joe is a pretty good wrestler. I have seen a lot of his matches in TNA and in ROH and he is a pretty good wrestler. Scott Steiner on the other hand is a wrestling Legend. Steiner has been wrestling for a long time now and he is pretty good. I think that TNA should give Scott Steiner an opportunity at a TNA Title... I don't remember when was the last time that Scott Steiner won a wrestling title. Scott Steiner needs a little push towards a title in TNA. Well at Destination X, I think that Samoa Joe will hit the Muscle Buster on Scott Steiner and get the win.
Sojourner has been doing really good since her debut in TNA. She started out as face and than turned to heel, and now I believe she is back to being face. Awesome Kong has been the TNA Knockouts Champion since the TNA HD debut. I am really tired of watching Awesome Kong being the TNA Knockouts Champion. She keeps on being "unbeatable" and it is really boring. I really want to see new champions like ODB, Roxi, Sojourner, or anyone else besides Awesome Kong. Awesome Kong is a good wrestler but she keeps on winning and that is what is boring. I really don't like seeing people keep on winning over and over again. People like ODB deserve the title but TNA has other plans. Sojourner Bolt has great wrestling ability and I am sure that she can be a great champion. I think that Sojourner Bolt will have a great feud with Awesome Kong. At Destination X I hope that Sojourner Bolt wins the title and I hope that Raisha Saeed doesn't interfere and make Sojourner Bolt loose.
Winner: Sojourner Bolt
Abyss vs. Matt Morgan (Elevation X Match)
On this match I went totally random with the match type. There is actually a big chance of the match happening and I would actually love to see Matt Morgan and Abyss fight in an Elevation X Match. Matt Morgan can be great in Extreme matches and Abyss can be even extremer. I would really love to see an Elevation X match once again and I hope we have Abyss and Matt Morgan face each other in an Elevation X match. I would also want to see Dr. Stevie (Steve Richards who is currently Abyss's therapist) interfere in the match and help Abyss win the match. It will be the perfect chance for Steve Richards to make his TNA debut. Although I don't expect that to happen, I wish it could. Abyss has shown that he is one of the best hardcore wrestlers in TNA. Past Elevation X matches have been great and if we see this Elevation X match, I expect this one to be the best of all of them. What I think is going to happen is Matt Morgan is going to throw Abyss of the X. I want Abyss to win but it is all a storyline...
This should be the best match of the night. The people that I included are the people that I think will do great in a match like Ultimate X. Most of the people have already been in an Ultimate X match and the other two have to experience a great match. I personally think that it is a hard match to fight in but with practice everyone learn how to do everything. I personally love high flyers because they bring a lot of impact and a lot of great action. TNA X-Divison wrestlers are great. They have all shown what they can do in the ring and most of them what they can do in an Ultimate X match. Most wrestling high flyers get a big push in TNA because TNA is a great place to be if you are a high flyer. I have watches every Ultimate X match starting from the first one to the Last One that happened. All Ultimate X matches have been great. Alex Shelly is the current X-Divison Champion and if he defends the title against 4 other great wrestlers, I think that the match will be phenomenal. I really can't decide who will win the match because it is hard to decide. You never know what could happen in matches like that. My predictions are that either Alex Shelly will retain or Kiyoshi will become the new TNA X-Divison Champion. Kiyoshi is a great wrestler and he is a great high flyer. I think that he will be in this match and I am sure that he will be able to win. Well as I said, either Kiyoshi or Alex Shelly will win this match.
Once again we will have Kurt Angle and Sting face off in the ring for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. One thing I am glad is that Sting is out of the Main Event Mafia. I was hoping for that to happen for a long time and it finally did. Sting is a great champion and he is a wrestling legend. Kurt Angle calls himself a Legend but he is not as big of a legend as he says. I have to give credit to Kurt because he is a great wrestler. Kurt is a great heel wrestler and he can be a great champion. I am pretty sure that The Main Event Mafia will come to the ring during this match but I am also sure that Jeff Jarrett and Mick Foley will try to keep them away from getting involved in the match. Sting and Kurt Angle will probably have a phenomenal match against each other and I hope that their match is great. Sting has been a champion long enough so I don't expect him to win the match and defeat Kurt Angle. At Destination X I would expect Kurt Angle to capture the TNA World Title again. I know a lot of people dislike Kurt Angle but he knows how to be a great champion. Kurt Angle is a former TNA World Heavyweight Champion and I know that if he wins the title again, he will be a great champion.
Winner: Kurt Angle
Thanks for reading my article. I hope you all liked it and I hope you will like my upcoming articles...
I know that WWe wrestlers get paid a lot of money depending on how much merchandise and how popular they are. But do they get paid on how much matches they win or does it only depend on the contract. I know that Triple H is like the highest paid wrestler but when if he started loosing matches would that deduct his money or what? Can anyone please inform me how WWE wrestlers get paid is it just by contract or what? Best explained answer get the 10 points.
Why would he lose money. Wrestlers are booked to win matches, they don't play out the ending and choose who will win. It is all fake. The WWE Booker chooses who will win & who will lose. Of course they get paid. They all have contracts and get paid monthly/weekly etc.
