    So you are serious....I am not into poetry and don't know on what ranking criteria some places adopt. I sure as hell can't get my head around... better than Quran and Bible. I checked this page and that Usamanali81 dude seems to be a wacko.  I write on technical stuff and heard I can make some extra cash and checking out this place.

      Yes very serious been working on this book since the age of thirty ,currently thirty nine years old, became a full time poet at thirty three.
      Got enlightened in the middle of the Atlantic ocean at the age of twenty four and now need to spread the god knowledge I have gained. smile
      Usmanali has some knowledge but wish he had more as then he would see the oneness in all.
      Best of luck on your writing ,ask Mark how to make cash here , he seems the old hand here.You need to write some hubs and get started.Left you some fan mail ,you will need to accept it.
      Poetry, spirituality, philosophy, religions is the categories my book falls into.

      You are welcome. Mark is a very high scorer on hub pages ,seen him with a score of 100 a few times and you can take his advice for cashing in , he is helpfull smile
      Usmanali does answer some questions correctly and does have  basic spiritual understanding but his ego prevents him from seeing the oneness in gods prophets and religions. smile

        Mr. Usman- We don't know your age and calling someone "old, hairless head and closed eyes" isn't complimentary you know.

          CW - when people run out of arguments, they resort to adjectives. One of the hallmarks of people like Usman is that when the they are questioned, they get edgy and irritable. Mouthing off adjectives is the next step. They expect others to accept their point of view without question. Oh - how they'd like to be dictators.

          Places where they've got the chance to be dictators (like the Taliban in Afghanistan) - they've wrecked havoc. Unfortunately, for Mr. Usman, HubPages isn't his own kingdom to rule. If you read through his posts (the little that he has in fact written down) - you can see how he's been exposed. He started off as being very calm - now he's just losing it smile

    Mr. Usman, mind answering a few questions?

    1. What is your opinion of Music - is it unIslamic? If yes, why? If not, why do some muslims believe it to be unIslamic?

    2. What is your opinion of the Shia/Sunni divide and the conflict between them? Don't tell me that was a zionist conspiracy as well!!

    3. What should be done with images/statues of other religions in Islamic countries - in your opinion?

    4. What's the position of Islam as regards to education and women? Are women not supposed to study beyond a certain age?

    5. Are women not supposed to drive - according to Islam?

    6. Are women to be always accompanied by a male relative when venturing outside - according to Islam?

    7. Is Hijab compulsory in Islam. Would not wearing the Hijab make the women an inferior muslim in any sense?

    8. Is growing beards compulsory in Islam? Would not growing a beard make a man less of a muslim than those who grow beards?

    9. Is marital rape allowed in Islam? Is it the husband's right to have sex with his wife, whether she wants it or not?

    10. What's your view on other religionists building their places of worship such as churches and temples in Islamic countries? They are not allowed to do so in some Islamic countries (as far as I know). What's your view on that?

    11. If a woman is found to be with another man (not her relative) - what is the punishment for that in Islamic law?

    These are some questions off the top of my head. May be you can answer some of them honestly.

      While i prepare answers for this, you must answer the following.

      1) Why Jews were kicked out of Germany?

      2) Why Christian Zionists of USA and England backed them up???

      3) Why Israeli and Christian Zionists created Federal Reserve Bank, International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank which are now considered the major cause of uncertainty in the whole world particularly in the recent Credit Crunch scenario of USA???

      4)Why the capital of Rothschild family and Freemasons society is approx. 7 trillion dollars much more than the capital of USA which is around 4 trillion dollars???

      5) Why American masses protested against Freemasons last year in 4th July???

      6) Why they are promoting Globalization and the lay man is against it especially American masses???

      7) Why the ordinary Jews of Europe and America are against the Christian and Israeli Zionists rather they are against Israel as a State who constituted it to be their birth write to rule over the world by hook or by crook – their protests are on the record and can be checked up on CNN, BBC, Al Jazera, You tube???

      8) Why Palestinian Muslims are labeled as terrorists while they fight against the expansion of Israeli borders in their territory???

      9) Why Israel has the maximum number of Nuclear Weapons as compared to other countries???

      10) Why the borders of Israeli state expand – the difference can be checked up between 1946 and 2009???

      11) Why one of the founding fathers of Israel – Mr. David said in 1947 that by any means, the state of Pakistan must be completely destroyed as soon as possible???

      12) Why Israeli intelligence agency MOSSAD is helping out RAW (Indian Intelligence Agency) from 1970s???

      13) Why the conspiracy theories related to 911 are not considered, as they have now became established facts that the work was not done by Afghanistan???

      14) Why, if for the sake of argument Osama Bin Ladin is a terrorist, they attacked Afghanistan and carpet bombed most of its places, killing thousands of inocents there, which law on the face of the earth allows to ruthlessly kill thousands of human beings for only one person, which law says to kill thousands if you can not catch the single pointed out terrorist???

      15) Why UK awarded the honor of SIR to Salman Rushdi for his book Satanic Verses in which he merely used slang language and abused Christianity, Islam and the Prophets??? 

      16) Why Bush is not given a death penalty as he admitted that there were no weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq and was sorry about his actions and policies against the innocents of Iraqi Muslims???

      good day

      as much as I know and have time for ( I have an exam tomorrow , wish me luck)

      1- controversial.

      2-people always make divisions.

      3-nothing.

      4-they are encourged to study with no limits.

      5-controversial
      but appearantly Islam says nothing about it.

      6-it is preferred to protect them but not compulsory.

      7-yes, it is (as far as I know) but not wearing it is not an inferiority measure.

      8-I guess it is but it is also a controversial matter.
      not growing a beared doesn't make you an inferior Muslim.

      9-No, he mustn't enforce her.
      and she mustn't quite bed for no reason.

      10-I don't mind.
      temples and churches were allowed at the time of the prophet.

      11-if they weren't having sex , I don't think there is a punishment.
      if they were , there is a punishment but 4 witnesses must exist which is very difficult.
      the punishment is different from the married and unmarried people and it is the same for both sexes.
      God knows better. sometimes you punish a minority to protect the majority.

      well , we mustn't judge people from what they look or they do.
      God juges them. Muslims just apply his rules in Islam but sinful people could be better to God than others.
      he only knows . we don't test others . we are being tested.

      best regards

        I am sooo glad that after all there is some one to show the real face of Islam.

        I am glad there is some one who wont go on forums and post topics like "Islam is a religion of Peace" to provoke a fight.

        I am glad there is some one who wont say bad things about other religions and their books as Islam teaches not to say any one else's religion bad so that they wont say bad things about your religion and God.

        People with guns in hands doesn't show the real picture of Islam and if you ask a learned Muslim who knows more about Islam than normal people, he won't even consider those people with guns Muslims.

        If you people study history of islam and you study it in depth, you will find out how in the era of Prophet Mohammed, women were respected, how they had an anti-hate policy even in the wars. When Muslims won a great great war, Mohammed forgave every single non-believer, even those who had killed his loved ones in wars, even those who injured him by throwing stones on him.

        He kept on forgiving the old lady who would throw garbage on him and one day when garbage did not come he went to her place and inquired about her health and when he found her in bad health, he helped her.

        So people, those extremists(so-called muslims, in fact non-muslims) who blow them selves up and others are not the real muslims. But naturally they get microscopic attention from media as what they are doing is so shocking and horrifying.

      I repeat the heart of Islam which is Sufism believes in the peaceful coexistence of religions as all religions are equally good and only a fool who has no knowledge of god will try and convert someone.
      They are totally against fanatics who believe Islam should prevail all over the world.

      It is impossible for an enlightened one ,a holy man to convert someone from his religion as he understand different religions as paths to merge with the one god.
      He doesn't have the audacity to say one prophet is greater than the other only a egoistical  fool does.

      Islam means one god and that's what Muhammad message to mankind was.

        Hey Mo

        Long time no see smile

        Agree fully, hence the name. I am no holy man, but I do believe in acceptance of all beliefs and of none. I prefer to look at people's actions rather than by their words. Words are extremely easy to say, but it is how somebody lives their life that is important.

        As a sidenote, I have been doing a little research about the Iranian Ayatollah Montezeri. There is a man who understands the true nature of Islam.

          Hey sufi dreamer your name is so cool and sufis are such beautiful people and its always a pleasure chatting with you.
          There have been many great Mulsim mystics and many settled in India.You have Hindus, Christians and Muslims paying their respect to them which is so nice.

            Apart from Scientology lol



            Sure - I have been trying to read a little about Sikhism, recently, although I have too much work, so finding time is tough. I like their open attitude towards other beliefs.

            I see religion like clothes - I do not judge somebody by whether they wear a Gucci suit or rags - it is the person wearing the clothes that matters. The same with religion - it is the person inside that I try to see, not whether they wear a crucifix or a turban.

            I think that we are on the same page, in that respect. I have more respect for guys like Paraglider and MK, who are intellectually honest, than people who use scripture to intimidate others. On the other hand, I also respect guys like you and BDazzler, who use scripture as a way to explore your own spirituality.

    Agreed - We had a Jehovah's Witness couple visit for coffee last week. I am not interested in becoming one, but we had a nice conversation about religion.

    What we found was that we had both arrived at the same answers - in their case through the Bible, in my case through history and Aristotle. There is more than one way to find answers.

    Not saying that it was the right answer, because I don't even know the question, but it was nice to agree rather than argue smile

      Truth is the same irrespective of it coming from the Hindu Mystics,Greek philosophers, Christian monks or Sufi masters.
      Ego or attachment to the source spoils everything, again giving more importance to the messenger than the message is wrong.
