Darwinism, - The invalidity of the claim that ''RNA is the forebear of life''

Share

The RNA world thesis is a supposed savior launched by Darwinists out of a sense of despair at the failure of all experiments regarding the beginning of life. But everyone who understands science and the complexity of the cell will inevitably find it illogical for Darwinists, who have never manufactured even a single protein, to make such a claim. In the absence of a single protein of the first imaginary cell they claim for the beginning of life, Darwinists claim that RNA is responsible for the whole thing, in all its wondrous complexity. But when it comes to how RNA itself first appeared, they are again, as always, silent.
According to the RNA world thesis, a hypothetical RNA molecule that came into being by chance manufactured proteins in some way, after which DNA appeared by chance out of a need for a second molecule to store all this protein information. Darwinists, with their powerful imaginations, are still trying to produce a single peptide bond in the laboratory, but seek to mislead people by shamelessly propagating this impossible and unbelievable scenario.
Extraordinary complexity is a huge and insoluble dilemma for Darwinists who are unable to account for how even a single RNA nucleotide might have come into being.
Even if we assume that the impossible happened and came about by chance, proteins are still essential in order for this entire mechanism to function. In other words, RNA cannot perform its function of producing a protein without proteins already being in existence. Just like other proteins, in order for DNA and RNA to exist and function, it is essential for the cell to exist beforehand, fully equipped and with all its proteins and other organelles.
A second major deception on this subject is the claims made regarding the function of RNA. RNA only contains information about the structure of protein alone. RNA has no mechanism to manufacture protein.
A protein is manufactured in an organelle called the ribosome with the assistance of many enzymes as the result of highly complex processes. The ribosome is a complex cell organelle again made up of proteins. This therefore leads to the impossible assumption that the ribosome, the proteins serving within it, DNA and RNA all came about spontaneously at exactly the same time.
The RNA world thesis, spoken of with embarrassment by many scientists, is one of the most illogical theories yet espoused by Darwinists, who are in a despairing state when it comes to explaining the origin of life. Casually bringing up such an illogical claim and depicting it as major scientific evidence is another element of Darwinist demagoguery.
The eminent University of San Diego California evolutionist Dr. Leslie Orgel, a colleague of Stanley Miller and Francis Crick, refers to the possibility of “life beginning with the RNA world” as a “scenario.” Orgel sets out the characteristics that RNA would have to possess and the impossibility of its doing so in an article titled "The Origin of Life on the Earth" in the October 1994 issue of American Scientist :
This scenario could have occurred, we noted, if prebiotic RNA had two properties not evident today: A capacity to replicate without the help of proteins and an ability to catalyze every step of protein synthesis. (Leslie E. Orgel, "The Origin of Life on the Earth", Scientific American, October 1994, Vol. 271, p. 78)
It is of course impossible for such a RNA to exist.

Allaah The Almighty Says )what means(:}And We have already sent Messengers before you to their peoples, and they came to them with clear evidences; then We took retribution from those who committed crimes, and incumbent upon Us was support of the believers.{]Quran 30:47[
The Companions, may Allaah be pleased with them, were keen on knowing the temptations in order to learn the way of salvation and they did so from the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam. The great Companion Huthayfah, may Allaah be pleased with him, would frequently ask the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, about evil so that he would avoid it.
In a Hadeeth )narration( on his authority he said,
“People used to ask the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, about good and I used to ask him about evil for fear that it would befall me. Hence, I said, ‘O Messenger of Allaah, we were in a state of ignorance and evil, then Allaah brought us this good. Will there be any evil after this good?’ The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said:‘Yes’.Huthayfah, may Allaah be pleased with him, asked, ‘Will there be any good after that evil?’ He said:‘Yes, but it would be tainted with Dakhan )i.e., intermixed with evil(.’
I asked, ‘What will its Dakhan be?’ He said:‘There will be some people who will guide )people( according to something other than my guidance and will lead them according to something other than my Sunnah )tradition(. You will see their actions and disapprove of them.’Huthayfah, may Allaah be pleased with him, said, ‘Will there be any evil after that good?’ He said:‘Yes, there will be some people who will invite others to the doors of Hell, and whoever accepts their invitation will be thrown in it )by them(.’
Huthayfah, may Allaah be pleased with him, said, ‘O Messenger of Allaah, describe those people to us.’ He said:‘They will be from among us and speak our language )i.e., from among the Arabs(.’Huthayfah, may Allaah be pleased with him, asked, ‘What do you command me to do if I witness that?’ He said:‘Adhere to the community of Muslims and their leader.’Huthayfah asked, ‘What if they have neither a community nor a leader?’ He said:‘Keep away from all those different sects, even if you have to bite on )i.e. eat( the root of a tree, until you die while you are still in that state.’”]Al-Bukhaari and Muslim[
c- Loving desires and the dominance of desires, including the desire for eating, sex, offspring, money, position and the subsequent attitudes of flattering, ostentation, bribing, loving to show off and staying silent about the truth.
All these desires are temptations unless one fears Allaah The Almighty. This is because the true believer will not speak, move or look unduly, because he is certain that he will be questioned about his hearing, sight and heart.
Allaah The Almighty Says )what means(:}And of the people is he who worships Allaah on an edge. If he is touched by good, he is reassured by it; but if he is struck by trial, he turns on his face ]to the other direction[. He has lost ]this[ world and the Hereafter. That is what is the manifest loss.{]Quran 22:11[
So, sister, beware lest you should like for yourself and for your family to live on the margin, pursuing desires, or be satisfied with the minor transient pleasures of the world, and decline what Allaah The Almighty has prepared for His righteous slaves in the world and the Hereafter. That is because Allaah The Almighty likes what is sublime and hates what is trivial.
Allaah The Almighty Says )what means(:}O you who have believed, indeed, among your wives and your children are enemies to you, so beware of them. But if you pardon and overlook and forgive - then indeed, Allaah is Forgiving and Merciful. Your wealth and your children are but a trial, and Allaah has with Him a great reward. So fear Allaah as much as you are able and listen and obey and spend ]in the way of Allaah[; it is better for your selves. And whoever is protected from the stinginess of his soul - it is those who will be the successful.{]Quran 64:14-16[
d- Committing sins and misdeeds and violating sanctities. This leads to widespread loss of life, murder, loss of integrity and trust, withholding rights, consuming Riba )interest(, consuming the wealth of orphans, consuming the wealth of others illegally, not paying Zakaah )purifying alms(, drinking alcohol, neglecting Hijaab )Islamic covering(, committing adultery and sodomy, in addition to other forms of immorality. Allaah The Almighty Says )what means(:
•}So let those beware who dissent from the Prophet's order, lest Fitnah strike them or a painful punishment.{]Quran 24:63[
•}Corruption has appeared throughout the land and sea by ]reason of[ what the hands of people have earned so He may let them taste part of ]the consequence of[ what they have done that perhaps they will return ]to righteousness[. Say, ]O Muhammad[, “Travel through the land and observe how was the end of those before. Most of them were associators ]of others with Allaah[.{]Quran 30:41-42[
In a Hadeeth )narration( on the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allaah be pleased with him, he said that the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said:“Woe unto the Arabs because of an impending evil! Successful is the one who restrains his hand )i.e. from being involved in fighting at the times of Fitnah(.”]Saheeh[
Allaah The Almighty Is merciful to us and we supplicate Him not to punish us for the actions committed by the foolish people who live among us.
e- Loving the world and having a strong inclination to it. Allaah The Almighty Says )what means(:}And do not extend your eyes toward that by which We have given enjoyment to ]some[ categories of them, ]its being but[ the splendor of worldly life by which We test them. And the provision of your Lord is better and more enduring. And enjoin prayer upon your family ]and people[ and be steadfast therein. We ask you not for provision; We provide for you, and the ]best[ outcome is for ]those of[ righteousness.{]Quran 20:131-132[
In a Hadeeth )narration( on the authority of Thawbaan, may Allaah be pleased with him, he said that the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said:“People will soon summon one another to attack you as people, when eating, invite others to share their dish"Someone said, ‘O Messenger of Allaah! Will that be because of our small number at that time?' He said:‘No, you will be numerous at that time, but you will be like the scum left behind after a flood. Weakness will be put in your hearts, and terror will be removed from the hearts of your enemies, because you love the world and hate death.’]Saheeh[

Allaah The Almighty Says )what means(:}Alif, Laam, Meem. Do the people think that they will be left to say, “We believe” and they will not be tried? But We have certainly tried those before them, and Allaah will surely make evident those who are truthful, and He will surely make evident the liars. Or do those who do evil deeds think they can outrun Us? Evil is what they judge. Whoever should hope for the meeting with Allaah - indeed, the term decreed by Allaah is coming. And He is The Hearing, The Knowing. And whoever strives only strives for ]the benefit of[ himself. Indeed, Allaah is free from need of the worlds.{]Quran 29:1-6[
To be tried is to be tested with afflictions or admiration of something or someone, since what may seem good could be evil from the inside, and vice versa. This causes confusion and perplexity.
The disbelievers and the believers are both tested and no one is saved except those who are kept firm by Allaah The Exalted.
Allaah The Almighty Says )what means(:}And fear a trial which will not strike those who have wronged among you exclusively, and know that Allaah is severe in penalty.{]Quran 8:25[
It was narrated on the authority of ‘Aa’ishah, may Allaah be pleased with her, that she said, “I said, ‘O Messenger of Allaah! When Allaah afflicts the people of earth, who have righteous people among them, with His suppression, will the righteous people perish as the evil people perish?’ He said:‘O ‘Aa’ishah! When Allaah The Almighty afflicts the people who deserve to be afflicted, though righteous people live among them, the righteous people will be afflicted along with them, and they will be resurrected according to their intentions ]and deeds[.’”]Saheeh[
Allaah The Almighty Says )what means(:}And We will surely test you until We make evident those who strive among you ]for the cause of Allaah[ and the patient, and We will test your affairs.{]Quran 47:31[
Trial and affliction can only exist in the presence of two opposites, such as Tawheed )Islamic monotheism( and Shirk )polytheism(, gratitude and ingratitude, compliance with the Sunnah )tradition( and innovation in religion, orders and prohibitions, good and evil, and riches and poverty. Allaah The Almighty Says )what means(:}And We did not grant to any man before you eternity ]on earth[; so if you die - would they be eternal? Every soul will taste death. And We test you with evil and with good as trial; and to Us you will be returned.{]Quran 21:34-35[
Out of His grace, Allaah The Almighty Informed our Messenger Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, of many afflictions and trials that would afflict his Ummah )nation(. Thus, the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, told us about them, warned us against their causes and showed us the way out of them. In a Hadeeth )narration( on the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allaah be pleased with him, he said that the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said:“Hasten to do good deeds before tribulations come like patches of dark night, when a man will wake up as a believer and by evening he will be a disbeliever, or in the evening he will be a believer and by morning he will be a disbeliever, selling his religion for a little of worldly gains.”]Muslim[
In a Hadeeth on the authority of Umm Salamah, may Allaah be pleased with her, she said that the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said:“Subhaan Allaah! How many afflictions have been sent down tonight! How many treasures Allaah has sent down! Wake the ladies )wives of the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam( of these rooms )for prayers(. Perhaps, a dressed woman in this world will be naked in the Hereafter.”]Ahmad and Al-Bukhaari[
Women are peers to men and have an important role to play in society as caretakers in their homes who are responsible for those under their care. The more righteous their families are, the more righteous the society is and vice versa. Hence, women have been entrusted with a great responsibility. This responsibility grows in the face of an overwhelming danger that comprises waves of intellectual invasion, tools of Westernization, and methods of corruption, misguidance and deception.
Hence, women should double their efforts to fulfill their duties and be saved from temptations. The following are the most important duties:
• Knowing the causes of Fitnah )trial( so as to avoid them
The most important of these causes include:
a- Abandoning reference in judgment to the Divine Sharee‘ah )Islamic legislation(, and following desires instead. The Ummah has been afflicted with this. After the Companions and their two successive generations passed away, the Ummah was struck with disunity and this resulted in the development of injustice, grudges, envy, jealousy, vanity, disunity, disputes, weakness and humiliation. This reached the extent that Muslims attacked their fellow Muslims, and blood was shed, lives were taken, sanctities were violated, wealth was pillaged and homelands were lost.
It was narrated on the authority of Abu Moosa, may Allaah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said:“Just before the advent of the Hour there will be much killing. It will not be )Muslims( killing the disbelievers, but )Muslims( killing each other, such that a man would meet his brother and kill him. Rational people and scholars of that time would die and will be succeeded by dust-worth people )worthless people(, many of whom think that they are worthy, while they are worthless.”]Saheeh[
b- Keenness on acquiring worldly sciences and neglecting knowledge of the Sharee‘ah )Islamic legislation(. Many people think of Sharee‘ah knowledge as insignificant and seek it only at the end. This has created a state of confusion and produced many people who invite others to the doors of Hell, because of neglecting the Divine guidance that was communicated by our Messenger Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam.

Personal, - Fasting & Health

Share

Islam calls on people to take care of their health and preserve it, because it is one’s capital investment in this life. The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, told us that a strong believer is better and dearer to Allaah than a weak believer. The reason for this is that a strong believer will be able to fulfill his religious and worldly obligations in the best manner, unlike a weak one who may not be able to handle the burdens of life and its religious demands, and might even become a burden on society.
The fasting system, as prescribed in Islam, helps a Muslim preserve his health and protects it from many diseases, like high blood pressure, being overweight and other diseases that infect those who do not follow the divine system set forth by Allaah.
It this article we will briefly address this issue without going into detail. We will mention some of what physicians have said about fasting and its benefits.
Medical studies have proved that fasting )when done properly as part of a system(, has many health benefits, most important of which is getting rid of the excess fats that cause one to be overweight or even obese, which is one of the most widespread health problems of this age.
It is a known fact that being overweight has negative effects on the body, and especially the heart, which make fasting )as a system( an important factor in preserving and protecting one’s health.
One of the health benefits fasting has is its getting rid of bodily excretions. It has been scientifically proven that the body builds up pus nodules that push its excretions into the blood, which causes many diseases. Fasting is a very important and beneficial means to clear the body from these harmful excretions.
Fasting allows the body’s cells and organs to perform their duties properly. The reason is that fasting gives the body’s organs a chance to relax and take an almost complete rest. These organs work constantly for the remainder of the year, and the fasting month of Ramadan comes as a period of vacation for them, which gives them a chance to take the needed break so that they can resume more energetically afterwards.
Therefore, fasting )as a system( gives the body the required diet and protects it from many endangering diseases. Many medical clinics have resorted to fasting as a part of their treatment plan, which proves the importance of fasting in one’s life in general, and his health in particular.
It is equally important to say that the fasting system is not merely abstaining from eating and drinking from sunrise to sunset and that one is then free to eat in any which way he desires. Absolutely not, one must observe the system of eating at the time of breaking the fast and must adhere also to eating balanced meals and stay away from overeating.
Finally, we would like to remind the fasting people that the main objective of fasting for which it was legislated is to attain piety and to be conscious of Allaah by adhering to His commands and shunning His prohibitions. Allaah says )what means(:}O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous.{]Quran 2: 183[ The verse clearly states the objective sought from fasting being piety and righteousness in order to draw nearer to Allaah.
Therefore, fasting is not intended to be primarily a medical system to treat one’s diseases )though it certainly achieves this(, rather, it is an act of worship intended to make the Muslim a better person with regards to his religious commitment and moral conduct.
