What does Islam encourage ?☪️

From the verses above we conclude that Islam encourages the following :
1/ mutual consultation.
2/ forgiving those who anger you.
3/ donating within the capacity of what you were blessed with.
4/ Islam is a practical religion. You have a [b]right[/b] of demanding justice when you are wronged however , you are encouraged to forgive and if you do you will have a greater reward from God for your patience but you are not [b]forced[/b] to pardon.

Indeed it does encourages compliance
I don’t see the issue ?

@Islamreligion Then I suggest you check with Galileo on that. My point is that freedom to question leads to discovery. Discovery leads to knowledge, knowledge leads to advancement. Plan B is god demanding ritual sacrifice of your children on an alter. I assume you dont want that..😷

1/Islam was never against knowledge discovery or advancement
And that is why the early Muslims closer to Mohammed’s time
Produced the best of scholars and scientists the world has ever known while churches used to demonize science

2/ there is no such thing as compulsory “animal sacrifice “ in Islam especially one to thank God for the blessing of new borns as you claim
However any animal you slaughter is to simply donate it’s meat to the poor and the needy basically to eat and live

Unless you think the meat that you find in supermarkets were not similarly slaughtered for you to eat

Have a good day

@Islamreligion Look. I dont want to insult your, or any other religion. Abraham is the common thread here and God supposedly tested his very compliance by demanding the sacrifice of his son. I dont claim thats genuine. I dont believe. But as a believer, you are supposed to..If your faith gives you comfort I am happy for you. But the demands of complaince (your very point) have held civiliasation back and continue so to do..😷

I find it hard to not be insulted when you start your statements with “I don’t want to insult you “ but end it with a very disrespectful emoji such as “ 😷”
However I’ll continue believe that you have good intentions at heart.

In Islam , God lectured Mohammed
For frowning at a blind man who interrupted his speech.
although the blind man couldn’t see Mohammed’s frown and even Mohammed himself knew the blind man couldn’t see hence he freely expressed his feelings yet God still lectured him
because that is the beauty of my religion when it comes to manners

'Abasa - Verse 1-3

{
He frowned and turned ˹his attention˺ away,
˹simply˺ because the blind man came to him ˹interrupting˺.
You never know ˹O Prophet˺, perhaps he may be purified……..
}

, in the Quran
Abraham didn’t trick his son
He told him directly of his plans
And the son [b]agreed[/b] to do it
However that was a test of belief
God did not actually allow Abraham to kill an innocent soul.

He was a prophet with a heavy mission and direct communication with God.
He was a special case
God never asked any common Muslim to slaughter their child as a test of belief

@Islamreligion My mask emoji is part reference to my username and part reference to the Pandemic. Not a reference to you or your faith in any way.
I will not debate the words of your Holy book with you, because I cant see them as the words of a god, but the words of men, like all other Holy books.😷

You are not the first or the last with such claim.
