bismiAllah
wassalamu3alikum wara7matuAllahi wabarakatuhu
These aayat also directly aplies to those suposedly
scholars and the so called islamic educational
institutions who take pride in using a lantin
french/english name i.e. Dr/doctor to cirtify their
cirtifications. As if there is no arabic word
instead,and as if there was non ever equaly aplicable.
As I had looked deeply in the translation of the word
Dr/doctor=scoserer or a conman or the person who is
capable or able to fool the public. As the brother
had made it clear in the main post what was done at
the times of our prphet Sulaiman and Mosa and others
peace be on to them and.
It is quite obvious that Allah subhanoh had lead them
to get a name which suit their doings.
Allah knows best
Allah may protect me and all muslims from the
deception of shayateen ins and jin ameen.
Yours brother in Islam

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom
(i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue
with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone
astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.}
(Holy Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in
His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites
(men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I
am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if
Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of
camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever
calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who
follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
