A thing called Royal Oak, which the British had, and no one else.
Isn't it amazing about the British Empire? How one little, tiny island was able to take over the world.
Bukhari :: Book 6 :: Volume 60 :: Hadith 10 Narrated Anas: Umar said, "I agreed with Allah in three things," or said, "My Lord agreed with me in three things. I said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Would that you took the station of Abraham as a place of prayer.' I also said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Good and bad persons visit you! Would that you ordered the Mothers of the believers to cover themselves with veils.' So the Divine Verses of Al-Hijab (i.e. veiling of the women) were revealed. I came to know that the Prophet had blamed some of his wives so I entered upon them and said, 'You should either stop (troubling the Prophet ) or else Allah will give His Apostle better wives than you.' When I came to one of his wives, she said to me, 'O 'Umar! Does Allah's Apostle haven't what he could advise his wives with, that you try to advise them?' " Thereupon Allah revealed:-- "It may be, if he divorced you (all) his Lord will give him instead of you, wives better than you Muslims (who submit to Allah).." (66.5)

Isn't it amazing that one town called Rome could take over the world?
Bukhari :: Book 6 :: Volume 60 :: Hadith 12 Narrated Abu Huraira: The people of the Scripture (Jews) used to recite the Torah in Hebrew and they used to explain it in Arabic to the Muslims. On that Allah's Apostle said, "Do not believe the people of the Scripture or disbelieve them, but say:-- "We believe in Allah and what is revealed to us." (2.136)
The British Empire was just a monopolization of world's trade routes and did not have the same sort of far-reaching influence over the world as the Roman Empire and it does not figure into Biblical prophecy and like I said, you are buying into late nineteenth century end of the world theories.
Rome did take quite a lot, but you have to admit, it was impressive, but not nearly as far-reaching as the British Empire.
The British Empire was not better than Rome, merely bigger. It is more wealthy than Rome. And it rules from London.

What Sura?
You DO REALIZE that what you are quoting is not the Qur'an, right?edit on 10/1/2012 by sHuRuLuNi because: (no reason given)
The overwhelming majority of Muslims consider hadith to be essential supplements to and clarifications of the Quran, Islam's holy book, as well as in clarifying issues pertaining to Islamic jurisprudence. Ibn al-Salah, a hadith specialist, described the relationship between hadith and other aspect of the religion by saying: "It is the science most pervasive in respect to the other sciences in their various branches, in particular to jurisprudence being the most important of them."[
How is it you somehow know exactly when Revelation was written?
How is it that John wrote this after Nero, and yet many people like you will say it referred to Nero?

Do you need me to post the Arabic for it? See, you are following the pattern because it is impossible for you to accept that Mohammed was a liar.
When you are shown what your verses say, you deny it was said. That is deception, isn't it?
I am giving you the Hadith...of which you accept as the words of Mohammed, is that not correct?
So if Mohammed said something, it was reported and believed because you understand the Quran by the Hadiths, is that not correct?
So in the Hadiths, you find the character of Mohammed that shows who he really was, a liar, and adulterer, a murder and a thief. Are you saying the Hadiths are inaccurate? Are you saying all those men who said these things about the prophet are not right? They must then be enemies of Mohammed, therefore enemies of allah, including Aisha. Is that what you are saying?

So the question is this, why did allah not just give Mohammed the best wife to start out with? Isn't allah wise enough to do that?

Why did God give Solomon 700 (SEVEN HUNDRED) wives and 300 (THREE HUNDRED) concubines?
What is your point here?
Polygamy was a common practice throughout the ages. Sometimes it was done as means of creating relations with other kingdoms, thus preventing wars, sometimes was done with widows who were left with children without any means of surviving, etc.

We see Mohammed abrogating verses to justify his own lust.
A hadith is a saying or narration of the Prophet's speech, deed, or approval or disapproval - whether spoken or tacit - about something. The hadiths have been learned by heart by the Muslims, later recorded, authenticated and handed down to us through the centuries. Next to the revelation of the Quran is this the greatest 'miracle' of Islam, for which there is no equivalent anywhere: Authentic traditions with chains of transmissions, critically and thoroughly examined by Muslim scholars and experts of hadith science, preserved and taught to the present day.
The Sunna ( def: Sunna ) therefore is the standard practice, primarily of the Prophet , including his sayings, deeds, tacit approvals or disapprovals. "The Sunna points to Allah's judgment, either as definitive knowledge (`ilm) or as assumed knowledge (zann), bringing it out and disclosing it for us. We understand Allah's rulings by means of the Sunna and it becomes binding upon us to put its content into practice."
because the Qur'an does not single out every possible thing that can harm you by name.
