1. Has there not been over man a period of time, when he was nothing to be mentioned?

2. Verily, We have created man from Nutfah drops of mixed semen (discharge of man and woman), in order to try him, so We made him hearer, seer.

3. Verily, We showed him the way, whether he be grateful or ungrateful.

4. Verily, We have prepared for the disbelievers iron chains, iron collars, and a blazing Fire.

5. Verily, the Abrâr (pious, who fear Allâh and avoid evil), shall drink a cup (of wine) mixed with water from a spring in Paradise called Kâfûr.

6. A spring wherefrom the slaves of Allâh will drink, causing it to gush forth abundantly.

7. They (are those who) fulfill (their) vows, and they fear a Day whose evil will be wide-spreading.

8. And they give food, inspite of their love for it (or for the love of Him), to Miskin[] (poor), the orphan, and the captive,

9. (Saying): "We feed you seeking Allâh's Countenance only. We wish for no reward, nor thanks from you.

10. "Verily, We fear from our Lord a Day, hard and distressful, that will make the faces look horrible (from extreme dislikeness to it)."

11. So Allâh saved them from the evil of that Day, and gave them Nadratan (a light of beauty) and joy.

12. And their recompense shall be Paradise, and silken garments, because they were patient.

13. Reclining therein on raised thrones, they will see there neither the excessive heat of the sun, nor the excessive bitter cold, (as in Paradise there is no sun and no moon).

14. And the shade thereof is close upon them, and the bunches of fruit thereof will hang low within their reach.

15. And amongst them will be passed round vessels of silver and cups of crystal,

16. Crystal-clear, made of silver. They will determine the measure thereof according to their wishes.

17. And they will be given to drink there a cup (of wine) mixed with Zanjabîl (ginger, etc.),

18. A spring there, called Salsabîl.

19. And round about them will (serve) boys of everlasting youth. If you see them, you would think them scattered pearls.

20. And when you look there (in Paradise), you will see a delight (that cannot be imagined), and a great dominion.

21. Their garments will be of fine green silk, and gold embroidery. They will be adorned with bracelets of silver, and their Lord will give them a pure drink.

22. (And it will be said to them): "Verily, this is a reward for you, and your endeavour has been accepted."

23. Verily! It is We Who have sent down the Qur'ân to you (O Muhammad SAW) by stages.

24. Therefore be patient (O Muhammad SAW) and submit to the Command of your Lord (Allâh, by doing your duty to Him and by conveying His Message to mankind), and obey neither a sinner nor a disbeliever among them.

25. And remember the Name of your Lord every morning and afternoon [i.e. offering of the Morning (Fajr), Zuhr, and 'Asr prayers].

26. And during night, prostrate yourself to Him (i.e. the offering of Maghrib and 'Ishâ' prayers), and glorify Him a long night through (i.e. Tahajjud prayer).

27. Verily! These (disbelievers) love the present life of this world, and put behind them a heavy Day (that will be hard).

28. It is We Who created them, and We have made them of strong built. And when We will, We can replace them with others like them with a complete replacement.

29. Verily! This (Verses of the Qur'ân) is an admonition, so whosoever wills, let him take a Path to his Lord (Allâh).

30. But you cannot will, unless Allâh wills. Verily, Allâh is Ever All-Knowing, All-Wise.

31. He will admit to His Mercy whom He will and as for the Zâlimûn, (polytheists, wrong-doers, etc.) He has prepared a painful torment.

CONCLUSION: bik, prsonis', tebe roga yjze otkrytili 😉

I want to let you know where I stand in this situation. I do not believe that the russians should be there and I don't really like the chechens to begin with. I think that they (russians and Chechens) should stand down and involve some of the other countries around them to come as mediators between the two. because obviously they can not run there own countries without outside help. I know that every place has bad people but what about the good people of those countries??? Should they suffer?? I think not.

I am atheist. And well enough educated atheist, having in my bookshelf everything from Torah to Bhagavadgita. And I can show, for instance, that in Mariam Prophet, may Almighty Allah pardon him, _diminished_ the Power and Might of Allah.

But I think we discuss religion instead of politics. Religious disputes never give results and usually produce only hate. So, let's return to the topic.

..........................................

Igor,
What is your point?

The first article is an opinion without any facts. For example see the following paragraph taken from the article:

"Russia, after all, gave the Chechens a chance, but instead of an orderly government, Chechnya descended into anarchy and chaos run by various murderous gangs, which, according to the Russians, committed not only terrorism in Moscow but invaded another Russian province. I doubt that the Russians will show the Chechens any mercy this time. "

Even the website it was posted put a disclaimer on the article "Disclaimer: Opinions posted on Free Republic are those of the individual posters and do not necessarily represent the opinion of Free Republic or its management."

I think you and I can write a better, more informed article than this, so let's see the next one.

......................................

Yes, the second article is a good one, titled "Georgia offers olive branch to Putin ". See the following paragrah from the article:

"Hardliners hold the former Georgian Communist Party leader responsible for the break-up of the Soviet Union, and some saw the hand of Moscow behind an assassination attempt against Mr Shevardnadze in February 1998."

I see! Assasination still remains as a Russian speciality!

Another paragraph:

"Yesterday, while confirming Georgia's movement towards partnership with the West, Mr Shevardnadze said it was important to avoid confrontation with Moscow. "While looking towards Europe, we must also maintain good relations with Russia," he said."

Underlying meaning of this paragraph is that Georgia would love to see the last of Russia, but because it is such a dangerous bully Georgia is trying to soothe it. Not because they want to, but because they are under threat. See the following paragraph from the same article:

"Georgia accuses Russian peace-keepers in the region of failing to ensure the return of some 300,000 ethnic Georgian refugees. Russia backed the Abkhazians who were fighting a war in 1992 and 1993 to win secession from Georgia."

So, not only Russia can assasinate Georgian elite, blast a bomb here or there, but can also start Abkhazian war at short notice.

The article is only proving that Russia is an evil empire. It was, and still is.

.........................................

The third article is about IMF, which I was familiar with the subject. But see the following paragraph from the article:

"Last year, when Russian official Anatoly Chubais bragged to the Russian press that he had "conned" the IMF and its chief negotiator, Stanley Fischer, none of us taxpayers who paid the price could legally take action against Mr. Fischer. He wasn't fired, and he and the IMF have continued to make loans. "

So what Chubais did to con Stanley Fischer, bribed him? After all, he is not an idiot to be conned. So either he was bribed, or official Russian documents were falsified, either way it doesn't shed a good light on Russian establishment. A corrupting, evil empire, don't you agree.

......................................

Igor,
I am prepared to look at your evidences very carefully, but if these are the best you can come up with, you must not have much to hold to in your argument. Come on, for once act with common humanitarian principles. It is ok to critize Russia despite having a Russian ancestory. After all you are now holding a Canadian passport. You don't have to feel responsible of Russian crime. Be free.

I also am an atheist and agree with you that religion is not what I want to talk about!

I want to hear how people feel about what is going on over there??? Can someone give me some insight on what they're feeling about the situation????
