Tafsir of Chapter 109: Surah Al-Kafirun (The Disbelievers) In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful Say: Oh, you who disbelieve! I do not worship that which you worship, Nor do you worship That Which I worship. Nor will I worship that which you have been worshipping, Neither will you worship That Which I worship. To you your religion and to me mine. I appreciate that brother Bashir illustrated that most of the conversions of Africans into Islam was propagated peacefully according to research by Cheik Anta Diop. And according to the Quran. Surat Al-Baqarah 2:190 Fight in the way of Allah those who fight you but do not transgress. Indeed. Allah does not like transgressors. I also apprecaite how he illustrated that Islam did not cause destruction in Africa as in the case of the imperialism of Mansa Musa where under Islam Africa grew in the case in manner of what you speak, if you speak in a manner in which each individual muslim or so called muslim represents the dogma of Islam which they can not. There is a saying, No muslim is perfect but Islam is We have to understand that there were and are conflicts between individuals based on differences that have occurred and would have occurred with or with out religion. There were wars for economic reasons. There were wars because of oppression so to speak. We have to stop pretending that the world was perfect before AND AFTER religion. Some people speak about the Negative Confessions/42 Laws of MAAT coming before The Torah, The Bible, The Holy Quran. Ok, but does anybody question the significance of The Negative Confessions. Does anybody question how many of the people of Kemet could honestly give those confessions and how many honestly could not attest to them...My point is there must have been some imperfection then as it is now. Surat An-Naĥl (The Bee) 16:89 And [mention] the Day when We will resurrect among every nation a witness over them from themselves. And We will bring you, [O Muhammad], as a witness over your nation. And We have sent down to you the Book as clarification for all things and as guidance and mercy and good tidings for the Muslims. Chapter 2 :25-27 Al Baraqah 25.And give good tidings to those who believe and do righteous deeds that they will have gardens [in Paradise] beneath which rivers flow. Whenever they are provided with a provision of fruit therefrom, they will say, This is what we were provided with before. And it is given to them in likeness. And they will have therein purified spouses, and they will abide therein eternally.26 Indeed, Allah is not timid to present an example - that of a mosquito or what is smaller than it. And those who have believed know that it is the truth from their Lord. But as for those who disbelieve, they say, What did Allah intend by this as an example? He misleads many thereby and guides many thereby. And He misleads not except the defiantly disobedient,27.Who break the covenant of Allah after contracting it and sever that which Allah has ordered to be joined and cause corruption on earth. It is those who are the losers....Now it is understood by me through research by Dr. Ben that the Adam and Eve story came from Kemet about Isis and Osiris...My point is that The Holy Quran does not refute that. In fact in it...when it speaks on such parables its to refer back to the Gospels, implying that THE MESSAGE is what is important. THE MORAL....because THE PURPOSE OF THE HOLY QURAN IS TO GUIDE THE RIGHTEOUS...Now if you wanna have a debate about what is righteous and what is not...you can go ahead and have history repeat itself and end up right back right here at The Holy Quran..now if you wanna talk about slavery you have to decide as a nation builder what will you do with the debtors, If you wanna talk about corporal punishment you will have to decide what you would do with the criminals and captives of war...Now, as far as God being a Woman or a Man...you cant have one without the other so let God be a FORCE that manifests them BOTH and leave it at that...we keep trying to make The Creator one of the creations...its Impossible without The Creator being ALL of Them...
