Dear galaxy, thank you for your reply.
About the Bible and Ahmed.
I will tell you somthing, we learned when we was little the story of how people near Muhammed (PBUH) know that he is the next massenger from Allah. In the story , I will tell it in some short words, sorry my english is not soo good, but I will try.
In the story, When Muhammed went to that mountain (Heraa mountain) an angel (Jebreel) came to him. the story is so in detail but I will make it shorter.... after what had been happend in that moutain & what Jebreel (PBUH) told Muhammed (PBUH)... Muhammed went home, his body was cold.. he told the story to his wife & his wife (Khadeeja) told.. I think she told some of her cousins... (I forget who exactly).. but when they heard that , he told her, that ............(diffecult to say the word in english)... what you say for somthing wrote in a book that in future will be somthing???
that what that man told (khadeeja) that they know that in future there will be a messnger from Allah his name is Ahmed. and in Arabic > Ahmed is the same as Muhammed.
That what I know about that, but later on... the Quran comes little by little until it finishes all the Suras on it.
It is a big story we called it Sira of prophet Muhammed (PBUH)

Dears galaxy, Hannibal,
About my self,
I born in Saudia Arabia, my father in Saudi & my mother is Bahraini.
I am know in Bahrain studing in the university of Bahrain.
and just to tell you that (Me) is one of the very very grandchilds of Muhammed (pbuh) after all those years...
I mean the grandchild of Muhammed was (alhassan) he brought childs and the childs brought childs and so on... Now In saudi Arabia they called us (Ashraf) it means that we are the family of Muhammed after all these years. not only me (there is lots of Ashraf in Saudi Arabia who have the blood relationship with Muhammed (PBUH).
In Arab we prefere to have like a tree of the family... so you can go backwards to see the father name and soo on... like this.
About churches, Saudi Arabia have not any church.
You will say why???
hmmm. I don't know, just that Saudi Arabia (Island of Arabs) is the place that first Islam comes from. Muhammed (PBUH) is from there, from Qurish the most famous people who were living there, Then the main thing I think, that "Mecca" that have the Allah home, we called it like this.
In the Quran it sayes (Bayto allah alharam). Bayt > home, Allah > God, alharam > wait I will try to find the sutible meaning .... humm .... I really can't find a sutible meaning but I will try to explain it...
somthing that you can to make somthing bad to it, somthing that you should be soo clean to enter it & shlould be a muslim to enter it coz it is the home of Allah, I know that is up, but Allah said in the Holly book Quran that it is Allah home.
Do you know that Ibrahim bulid it before???? with his son Ismaeal??
that was before christ & mohammed...
and eve before Islam comes most arab people goes there for (Hajj) as they think.
So, for my opeinon, I don't think that it is good to have church in this country! Suadi Arabia is not like other arab countris, It has somthing soo big for Islam people, but you know that Islam give the right to mens to marry from christans or jaws womans. & they can be on what they are in, if they do not want to change the can be as they are in. They can do what their religion needs, like prayer, reading there books,,, anything.
But like drinking weskee or eating pigs...& etc.. this is not allowed in muslims countries. So there is some limits too.
There is christains workers in Saudia Arabia too, In Aramkoo and other companies...
Quote:"the expat community in saudi may hold church services at homs or stuff"
I don't know about that, but at home is safe place to do what his religion wants to do...
In Islam, All christains & jaws should feel safe inside an Islamic countries, coz you are called (Ahl alkeetaab) >>> means that you are the family of the other Holly books... & coz those Holly books comes from Allah before Islam, so we have to respect them & to beleive in their books & their prophets.
I think I can live in peace with christains people, but with jaws I can't.
They hate us a lot, I can never forget what they are doning in Palsteinan people, children & women & old peoples.
They want to live in peace while they take the Palastenain out of there home, even those poor people can't feel safe in there little tents!
Let Islam & christains & jaws aside, We have a heart as everybody. All of us should be kind.
but what we can say?
nobody can hear.
May Allah bless us all.
Ghada :roll:
