Looking forward seeing your concert on March 15...Moroccans 'rock'!

[asefamusic]

Cool! We look forward to seeing you!

Allah is one, yes, but you (jews) don`t believe in Mohammed, peace be upon him. So why sing about Allah Subhana wa Ta`ala, while you don`t believe in His last prophet (peace be upon him)?

A jew will always be a jew; even though he sings about Islaam or Allah.

[asefamusic]

Allah is for all, not just for Muslims. Mohammed was a great spiritual thinker and offered a wonderful approach to Allah for all of humankind. But Allah is for all and all are for Allah, whether through Islam, Judaism, Christianity, Agnosticism, Buddhism, Animism, etc.

[Anoniempje87]

Allah is indeed for all; but you have to follow His commands and the way of life that Mohammed, peace be upon him, left us.

When you`re not a muslim, you don`t believe in Allah en His last prophet, as simple as that. So why sing about it?

[asefamusic]

Just because I don't believe that Mohammed is his last prophet, or that the Torah is just as valid as the Quran doesn't mean I don't believe in Allah.

You have a very narrow view of who can believe in Allah. Mohammed is not the only person to explain how to follow Allah's commandments. Likewise, one does not need to be Muslim to sing about Allah. In fact, many Jews and Muslims sang about Allah together all over the world for many centuries. Only recently Jews and Muslims don't sing together :(

[MBlasterBMaster]

Arabic Muslims, Christian and Jews use the same word of God num nutts.

[sansprenom2007]

Hi again- your concert on the 15th in Brooklyn was a blast! My friends and I are certainly looking forward the next one.

Keep it up!

Beslamah for now :)

[AbaJetz]

asefamusic!! you can not believe in Allah if you dont accept and dont believe muhammed. Because only muhammed tells us about what Allah c.c. is.

Allahu ahad, allahussamed, lem yelid ve lem yuled. Jesus and musa came only for the jewish people but muhammed came for all people so if you want azad you must believe first Muhammed than you can believe in Allah.

[AbaJetz]

You dont have to be a muslim. You just have to understand sunetullah and you must believe hz.muhammed. so you have to be muhammedi. If you say you are moslem than you are sunni or shii or alevi etc. but you just must be muhammedi inneddine innallahe islam.

[Anoniempje87]

In the Islaam it`s ALL or NOTHING. You can`t say; I believe in Allah and His Book (the Qu`raan), but I don`t believe in Mohammed, peace be upon him.

ALL OR NOTHING.
