Suppose you are a person with intellect and knowledge ( and Muslim), and you are in sub-continent where people are converting to Islam from Hinduism and other religion where worshipping statue and holy pictures in a norm. since a normal person with no detail insight into the teachings of Islam, can clearly get misguided and get into the same concept of putting pictures/statues in their homes and accidently or unintentionally start doing the same worship practice as in days of hinduism. I ask you if you were a Muslim scholar in this situation how would you tackle it, keeping in mind not everyone is englightened and intelligence as you are. Email me about your comments :) Muzzammil Gazel,

The authors of most of the Old Testament, for example. What does a predictive voice from the sky have to do with your concept of God; what difference does it make whether a fanciful event like that might make Dawkins consider the existence of something someone might call God? Regarding the Wildon Carr quote ... huh? In the second sentence, he seems to be saying that life (that which produces intellect according to evolutionary theory) is "something which only exists as an abstraction" of intellect; is that really the proposition, that life is not a concrete fact? In the third sentence, he says that, if intellect evolves from life, then the concept of life must be the concept of something more concrete than the activity of a mechanical movement. Well, thanks for clearing that up.

Ahmadis brought this belief for the firsttime in history of Islam. Secondly, the very reason ahmadis are decalred non-muslim was their stand on possibility of a coming of a non-law bearing prophet (under Sharia e Muhammadi, without affecting finality of Prophet Muhammad). Ghamidi is very much supportive of this theory.
