In this time of war, strife, disease, and financial uncertainty (just to name a few), it’s important to know that God is in control of all things. And as people go to the polls to vote for a new US President this fall, again, we must remember that God is in control.
This is why I wanted to repackage this very timely and pertinent song as originally sung by Twila Paris. We must remember:
Joshua 1:9 I command you–be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.
Colossians 1:16 …for all things in heaven and on earth were created by him — all things, whether visible or invisible, whether thrones or dominions, whether principalities or powers — all things were created through him and for him.
17 He himself is before all things and all things are held together in him.
Maranatha!

Imam Hassan Qazwini: Humans should respect environment and not hunt for pleasure
The Michigan Earth Keeper Initiative promotes interfaith environment projects - and America’s top Muslim Imam brought just that message to Marquette, MI
Talk by Imam Hassan Qazwini, head of the Islamic Center of America on Oct. 22, 2008 at the Lutheran Campus Ministry (LCM) Lothlórien House in Marquette, Michigan
Northern Michigan University (NMU) Health & Nutrition Professor Mohey Mowafy of Marquette introduced Imam Hassan Qazwini:
Imam Hassan Qazwini:
In the Quran God says
Thahara alfasadu feealbarri waalbahri bima kasabat aydee alnnasiliyutheeqahum baAAda allathee AAamiloolaAAallahum yarjiAAoona. Quran (Ar-Rum: verse 41)
Translated:
Corruption (Mischief) has appeared on land and sea because of (the meed) that the hands of men have earned, that (Allah) may give them a taste of some of their deeds: in order that they may turn back (from Evil).
Corruption has appeared on the sea and on the land due to what the man did - or what the man does.
Meaning that God created this very beautiful, splendid planet. And he gave it to us as a gift. But he asked us not to corrupt it, not to ruin it, not to destroy it. Use it for our benefit.
Did you know that in this country, we only form five percent of the worlds population, but we consume 25 percent of the worlds energy. What does this mean? This means that I am taking my own share - yet I am taking the share of five other people in this world. I am using my own share plus the share that belongs to five other people - I am consuming.
It means that I am stepping over my limits. And I am doing such injustice to the environment. Why? Simply because I am selfish. I want to enjoy myself. I dont care about the environment. I dont care about others and I want to use everything for my own benefit only.
I always remind my friend - I say many of you love hunting. How many of you hunt?
Answering the Imams question - news reporter Greg Peterson says I am growing my beard (for deer season) right now.
Imam Hassan Qazwini continues:
Hunting is a hobby that many people love to do. In Islam, my religion, two people can hunt only.
A hunter - meaning whose career is hunting, someone who makes a living out of hunting.
And the second one: A man who is wandering the desert or the woods. And he got so hungry, and he could not find anything to eat, he went and he hunted something. He ate. Thats fine.
But for someone to do it as a hobby - its prohibited (in Islam). Why?
Because God allowed me, permitted me as a human being, he gave me the right to take the life of an innocent animal only when I need it. When I need to fill my stomach. When I am hungry. Or when I need to make a living because I have to make a living.
But for me to go out and enjoy myself with the cost of killing an innocent animal - God says: Here your freedom is over. You can not take the life of an innocent animal simply because you wanted to enjoy yourself. Simply because you wanted to have some fun.
But obviously, you may tell me: I am not going to waste it. I will take it.
I know, but what was my incentive when I hunted this animal. My incentive was to enjoy myself not because I was hungry. My point that I am trying to say is this: That God want this equilibrium to be kept and to be preserved.
We Muslims refrain from eating so many kind of fish - the kind of fish that does not have scale on the skin - we cannot eat. Why?
Because we know that if we are allowed to eat everything in the ocean then the balance the equilibrium in the ocean will be upset.
Therefor - not only my well-being - the well-being of the environment will be in danger.
So the bottom line is - that Islam is one of the religions that emphasizes protecting the environment.
You can use from the environment as much as you need - not as much as you enjoy.
You can use the environment as much as you need - not as much as you enjoy.

Okay, so first off, when God created the universe he only gave us one rule, and that was not to eat of the tree of good and evil.
Okay, so if the fruit of the tree held the knowledge of good and evil, and Adam and Eve gained this knowledge from eating the fruit, then they didn’t have this knowledge prior to committing their sin. They were completely innocent, because they didn’t know write from wrong. If that’s true, then how could they have done any wrong? They didn’t know what sin was until after they did it, so how is that their fault?
On to your question of who created the universe. Actually, you’re asking an incorrect question. “Who” created the universe? The word who supposes that a complex thing must come before simple things, which is the reverse of what science tells us. Simple things usually come first, and grow more complex over time. You and I are examples of this, as are all living things. Hosts for life, like coral reefs, islands and continents, follow this same pattern. Something simple comes first and it becomes more complicated with time. The planet earth clearly followed this pattern, so why not the universe? Why couldn’t the universe have started with a singularity, like described by the various models of the big bang theory, and grown more complicated over time?

This video shows what actually was going on about 10,000 BC. Many scientific fields reveal that God created the Earth 4.57 billion years ago, not 12,000. Science also has to offer us information as to what was actually going on during the time when some creationists claim the earth was created.

How can a baby made in the image of God, coming out his/her mother’s womb, be a punishment? How can this person believe children that he can conceive of a child as being punishment?
Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
SAY THIS PRAYER: Dear Jesus, I am a sinner and am headed to eternal because of my sins. I believe you died on the cross to take away my sins and to take me to heaven. Jesus, I ask you now to come into my heart and take away my sins and give me eternal life. http://www.armyofgod.com

About Diamonds Diamonds have been the pride of empires throughout time. Ancient Hindu followers believed diamonds were created by thunderbolts striking the ground. Ancient Greeks believed that diamonds were teardrops of the gods and splinters of stars that had fallen to Earth. The stones were believed to possess magical qualities and have powers far beyond the understanding of common man. Even the name stems from adamas, the Greek word for unconquerable and indestructible. Diamonds were worn because they were thought to give people strength, invincibility, courage and magical powers over dark sorceress and magicians. In the ancient India, a diamond set in a platinum ring was worn for victory in battles. Kings led battles and wore heavy leather breastplates studded with diamonds so that enemy warriors would stay clear. Once they survived through the wars by the magic of diamonds, they were considered blessed by the gods and given lives of good fortune. Much of this lore still lives today in the saying, Diamonds are a girl s best friend. All weights pertaining to diamond weights are minimum weights. Additionally, please note that many gemstones are treated to enhance their beauty. Click here for important information about gemstone enhancements and special care requirements.
