In a quick review of the groups you belong to, which are mostly, "Like and Love" groups, based on that alone, you are a nice person, you can pray to whomever you want as far as I am concerned.

I think it's important to have a higher power to look to for guidance in time of need.

So you are silly enough to ask satan (allah) to control your life? No wonder you can never find the Truth. You keep following the liar.

@Madeleine Actually those were not His followers. They wanted to challenge Him. He used the opportunity to make a point.

@hippyjoe1955 "As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. “Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

He asked a valid question, and his behavior was not one of a disbeliever.

@Madeleine Except they were not believers or they would have known. The simple fact that the man was trying to earn his way to eternal life is indicative of that. Jesus rightly said "no one is good but God".

I say the same thing to a higher power. It always helps.

It has nothing to do with "Allah" or a "Christian God"

It has to do with handing yourself over and recognising a force in the universe greater than you.

I find your preaching oppressive and offensive. I'd say the same to a Christian.

However I've come across many Christians out there in the world helping people - any people. Even Muslims. Muslim women so oppressed they're not allowed to read and are being taught by Christians so they can have a better life. Homeless people helped by Christians. In my local area at the weekend Christians helping drunks - not preaching unless asked but handing out flip flops to women who's feet hurt and making sure people have a safe night!

I have never come across Muslims helping anyone. I've heard how they help other Muslims only but I've never seen it.

So instead of telling us how great your God is why don't you do something actually helpful. Which does not btw include trying to force us all be Muslims by either preaching or blowing anyone up.

@Madeleine What organisations created by the Muslim faith go out spending Muslim money to help non Muslims? - real question,

When I don’t understand what’s happening in my life, I just close my eyes and take a deep breath and say. “O Allah,

What's that full stop doing there for?
