It doesn't matter. There was a claim and the burdon of proof on those who support the claim. The claim started as:

Islam IS a persian invention and Salman Al Parsi IS it creator.

So what my arabians friends?! do u take that as an insult for ur community? 

Here, where Salman Al Farisi was called the creator of Islam. Obviously this logic failed soon. I cannot say Salman Al Farisi created Islam as above without any support, and expect a proof that he actually didn't create Islam. The burdon of proof is on those who claim it. Thus, no one care Miller if you are convinced about anything or not.

Same thing goes to the claim that Salman Al Farisi has contributed in the Quran.

  As I said before I have not seen enough evidence to say Salman wrote Quran, but I have not seen anything that disprove it either and there is a possibility

Yes, no support so far that " Salman Al Farisi wrote Quran", that is still standing here with no support. It does not matter if you are convinced or not about it. It does not matter if you "haven't seen anything that disprove it". The burdon of proof on you if you claim it. Show that possibility.

And Yes, our topic started different, but that same quote of Seka, is what deviated us also from the original topic.

OK,   so in your school if things come from Judaism that is OK but if they come from Zoroastranism that would be a bad thing.

Sorry, No hell is Judaism and no heaven in early Judaism in the late Judaism there is a heaven but not with dimensions likes Christianity, Islam, and Zoroastrianiam. Just check with your local Rabbi or search the Tura for Sheol

The detailed level judgment day with angeles holding scales and bridge going to heaven is only unique to Islam and Zoroastrianism. From Wikipedia on this subject

The concept of heaven was imported into Judaism from Zoroastrianism, perhaps by the prophet Daniel through his exposure to the Zoroastrian Magi of the court of Darius I. The belief in heaven appears to have supplanted the earlier concept of Sheol (mentioned in Isaiah 38:18, Psalms 6:5 and Job 7:7-10).

No these are not just words of Persian origin, both Zoroastrianism and Islam have used the same words to refer to specific locations in heavens, or specific concepts

no proof of this one. This is just point of view of some Muslim's. That was the point of the posting from wikipedia to see other peoples point of view.

I haven't changed my mind about anything I have said before, but as much as I want to discuss this subject I have limited time to make long posts here. As I said before I have not seen enough evidence to say Salman wrote Quran, but I have not seen anything that disprove it either and there is a possibility, and I don't think this topic was started to discuss Salman it was made to discuss propaganda against Arabs Good luck with the exams

relationship between Judaism and Zoroastrianiam DO relates to the topic being discussed here. and iam not trying to point out that islam "copied" judaisim or anything.

that zoroastrianiam copied Judaisim can be a possibility. and Judaisim is recognised by muslims to be a religion which came from God and by time people changed many of its principls and rules.

so having similarities between the Zoroastians and Islam wont be a supprise.

specially in one god . heaven and hell concepts similarities.

add to that the words similarities that other took as proofs, words such as Ferdose is what gardens were called by persians, also they used Bustan.Heaven in the Quran had lots of other names and discriptions. so even IF Ferdose cam from a persian orgin then it was just a name and a  description of a place in heaven SO Arabs would know and visualize how it may look like. as far as i know gardens are named as per their trees type and look, so having this name isn't prooving much.its a matter of making the message clear by making examples and points.

but then if you dont belive in God existance you for sure will be looking for sources of each religion. which will give rise to the question of Where did Zoroaster got these Ideas and from these ideas founded a religion? it seems that you changed your mind about Salam al Farisi since you quoted and commented on a small paragraph of my post there. so keep making up new theories and assumption

anyway may continue this later i'll be away for sometime.

I agree,

   I guess the use of the Hadith was not clear. It works as an introduction to the website I posted under the hadith directly. In that link, a collection of Hadiths that describe the stages and even the exact number of days for some stages. Anyhow, the Quran definitely points much more. We don't have to go in details about them, because links are provided for that purpose.

Cok Gec I agree with your view on this. As we see not everyone does. But I do not see a need from Hadiths. The Koran itself will do fine.

Detailed embryology? More like common sense, even in the context of that age. Romans used to use sheep bladders for contraception, so obviously they knew what the fluid they ejaculated into a woman would do.

No, the sun is not fixed. While the moon orbits the Earth.  The Earth orbits the Sun. Shockingly, today's astronomers know that our Sun (on the edge of the Milky Way Galaxy) is orbiting the center of the Galaxy.  Our galaxy is spiral (it kind of has dozens of "arms" spiraling outward), and our solar systems is on the edge of one of those arms.

Why we don't notice the Sun moving is because once every hundred million (much longer, actually) years, it makes a complete revolution throughout the entire galaxy! Our solar system has only one star, it is speculated most other systems have binary star system (two stars orbiting each other). 

As I said,  no point in beating this claim to its limit. It is from the begining an awfully weak argument.

Zoroastrism is not a religion but a philosophy. Zoroaster was not a prophet, he never claimed having any relationship with god.

Cyrus, the blood is not running in a seperate orbit than your body. Its orbit or "viens" are part of your body. However, the moon has an orbit seperate from the sun. The verse talks about two different seperate entities. Sun & moon, and not the solar system & the moon. While the moon is part of of the solar system, it is not part of the sun. Thus, the moon runs on its orbit seperate from the sun and it is not premitted for the moon to leave its norm orbit toward the sun, neither permitted for the sun to catch up the moon and collide with it (which is appearently swallowing).

Im not fooling myself Cyrus. I don't recall you are an expert in Arabic and no wonder you are really pushing on an awfully weak point. Even if you were able to draw any flaws in my explaination, it will be Cok Gec's interpretation error. If you are so passionate about discreditg the Quran, how about if you directed your energy toward finding other more disputed verses? Start googling, it helps.

Uha, well Im sure too that God knows about Zoroastrianism.

How does the relationship between Judaism and Zoroastrianiam relates to the topic being discussed here. Are you trying to prove that Islam was copied from Judaism only and that that is OK. If you like to discuss the relationship between any other two religions just open a new topic and I will be happy to discuss if I know anything about that subject

Jesus Christ was an Israeli. That doesn't mean that Christianity is a Jewish religion.

Why?!! maybe you think it is a Japanese religion?

Sorry Cyrus, you cannot start translating Quran by yourself. We have already translated Qurans. Summing "your own" understanding of 3 verses in one translated verse is not better than anything. That is also not "my translation" as you say. I provided a link from where I got it. Im an Arab and I can read the original verse better, but still I dont translate by my ownself as if Im an expert by default.

First, can you post a link of your Quran's translated verse. Or is it another Cyrus translation? 

Second, Also, I looked at the other verses. Still nothing really proves your point. "It is not permitted to the Sun to catch up the Moon, nor can the Night outstrip the Day: Each (just) swims along in (its own) orbit (according to Law)" < this verse is not so hard to understand (assuming you got it right). It is not a nuclear science. All what it says the sun has an orbit, the moon has an orbit. The sun will not collide with the moon going out of its orbit, and the night cannot leave behind the day. All have a system, when to come, when to change, and when to follow. Very simple. Let us not act as expert in Quran by our ownself. We have previous done authenticated work. Use it.

It is obvious that you want to fool yourself, it seems as if I say "the blood runs through my veins and I walk down the street (we know the Sun is fixed, if we assume that it meant the Solar System) but it is not permitted to me to catch up the blood", isn't it silly?

Then in this case, I won't be redundant.  Artaxiad has already addressed the question in regards to your analogy.

However, It is not his religion. If you think he sat down in Mecca and invented Islam on a summer day, then prove it.

If you read the next verses then you will undrestand that my translation was so much better than yours!

Does someone who knows the situation of the huge Sun and the small moon of the earth, say:

40. It is not permitted to the Sun to catch up the Moon, nor can the Night outstrip the Day: Each (just) swims along in (its own) orbit (according to Law).

   Not just because both religions believe in god because there are specific places including the name of location and processes whether on earth in heaven that are the same.

Miller, Let us not waste time on assumptions. Your only argument now is that Islam must have copied Zoraostrianism because of similarities in terminologies and concepts.

Remember that we already discussed that it is a high possiblity that Zoraostrianism copied Judaism as Jews fell under the Persian domain and the Zoroastrianism was developed during that time, as I explained earlier. Therefore, the concept of Adam and Paradise...etc is not a copyright of Zoroastrianism. Judaism has the same concepts, does it mean it stole it from Zoroastrianism? Actually, the opposite is more logical for sure.

That is a good point I overlooked. Those 87 chapters cotain what Cyrus called the similarities between Zoroastrianism and Islam. So it was even before he met Salman.  The Madinah suras are mainly dealing with jurisdictions.

 

So you are left only with only one argument, which is that Islam must have copied Judaism. That is by itself depends on your preception. If you are a Jew, you will say Christianity copied Judaism. Both Christians and Jews claim Islam copied both of them. Bottom line, they are all religions that came from God, one source. One source means common grounds for all three religions.

Originally posted by Miller

   Now at the same time Zoroastrianism is not mentioned in Quran not even once.

Here is a new concept you can add to your information Miller. The Quran didn't tell about all the religions has been monothiest and has been revealed from God in the past before they changed. Zoroastrianism can be one of them, or not. who knows.

.

Allah tells his messenger: and we have sent messengers before you, some of whom we have narrated to you, and some of whom we haven't. (Gafer surah, 78)

Why such motivation by some of our members to disprove the Koran's uniqueness by saying it's influence came from Zoroastror or the Zoroastrian religion?

The 3 monotheist religions apparently have influences from the Zoroastrianism.

Anyway, these claims seem to be similar (and as absurd as) the claim that a Greek made up the Bible.

your CD ROM respond is not proving anything the Quran has 114 chapters and 87 chapters were already written when the prophet was in Makkah and only 27 chapters were written in madina where he and salman met.

and AFAIK salman was a salve at the time the prophet came to madina.

and in salman's biography it says that he was searching for a religion which is true and he was told that there will be a prophet comming from Arabia, and that was the reason form him to come there.

note that muslim belive that in the books of the christans and the jews it says that there will be a prophet comming and gave discribtion of that prophet.

and the article you gave earlier about the religion and the quran from some western point of veiw Didnt mention anything about Salman and Zoroastrians effecting anything.

its clear that from many  Western point of veiw the Prophet learned from Christianity and Judasisim and studied them well and made up one of his own.

others saied that he mixed up these two religion with the ancient religions of Arabia and made up one of his own.

now the latest one Salman alfarisi tought him and gave him the quran! and the basis of these theories are the similarities found between islam and these religions. which were mostly names of places and these names are a common in names in the lanugae and not something new just came up.

note as per the encyclopedias i have Judaisim is older than zoroastrian religion, and the rest of the theories talking about the opposite were mentioned as a side notes not as a main notes.

will this satisfy our iranic aryan heroes?

how you call God at farsi? we should stop to say Allah too, I think.
