Wait, Maybe I didn't read this correctly, but did you just call me a silly muslim? Because I'm trying to understand something? Now maybe I didn't articulate my question properly for you to understand what it was I wanted to say, but their was no reason for name calling. My intentions were good and I welcome all comments that are constructive, but we are muslims and there is no need to be harsh. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
As Salaamu Alaikum. >>> "G.Waleed Kavalec" 07/12/05 10:41 PM >>> Salaam The key is does the person using the knowledge... elevate it? And disregard the One who really decides? The Israeli and Hindu on board the NASA shuttle Columbia almost certainly relied entirely on science and remained ignorant of ar-Rahman 55:33<http://www.islamawakened.com/quran/55/33> But they learned. Thirty years earlier another NASA astronaut went all the way to the Moon, read some scripture to listeners back on Earth, and returned unscathed. Unbelievers know the above is just a coincidence being cited out of context by a silly Muslim. This silly Muslim doesn't think so. <http://www.islamawakened.com/quran/55/33>On 7/11/05, Johnson" <"Ayesha> wrote: > > How can that lead to shirk?
