I Am Enjoying Being A Muslim

@hippyjoe1955: Then show me my quote.

Why? Do you now think that the quran is to be interpreted literally. Like my shiite friend? I know another imam who is ismaili. His daughter converted to Christianity and attends my church. I spoke to her father and he interprets the quran symbolically but because of that he is not muslim enough to partake in the haj. Well actually he can't go to Saudi Arabia because he is ismaili so unless he somehow symbolizes the haj he can never really participate.

@hippyjoe1955: You are accusing me of something I never said. I asked for a proof, but you keep on avoiding it. Typical.

@hippyjoe1955: What rules did I reject? And please explain the trinity logically.

If you don't believe in the literal words of the quran then you are not following the rules of the quran.

@hippyjoe1955: Obviously you don't even know what are the rules of the Quran. I see that you are trying to turn the table on my Quran to avoid explaining the non sense of your Bible. I understand your frustration sir. Even I won't be able to justify the clear errors of the Bible.

@sleepyhead: Thank you. I wish you the best.

@Madeleine: Thanks, I'll take the best.

@Madeleine: Where did you grow up by the way?

So you too believe your religion is right. Next!

@hippyjoe1955: I don´t think that I belong to the people who believe that their religion is the only right one. I am a Christian (on the paper) but I am not very religious.
Nevertheless it´s ok for me when people believe in their religions if it makes them happy. But I don´t think there is a religion on this earth which is the only right one.

@Loretta78: I believe Islam is the truth, but I wouldn't force it on anyone. Sincerity is important, and it doesn't come by force.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I respect your good manners.

@Greenbare: It's not a silly quote. It is a verse from the Quran; the book that Muslims should live by.

@Greenbare: Give me one verse that suggests "killing everyone" sir.

Truth is not determined by the number of people who believe. Truth is Jesus Christ. Now old mo claimed that he was a prophet but there was no corroborating evidence beyond him being a slick salesman. The book he wrote he rewrote when it best suited his purpose. Even the parts he didn't rewrite show a drastic changes that only the gullible would believe. Jesus was testified about by God the Father twice in an audible voice that others heard. That never happened with mo. Jesus performed miracle after miracle after miracle including rising from the dead Himself. Old mo is buried in the desert where his rotting carcass needs to be covered with pigs. Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to be the guide for all believers. Old mo simply died and left a bunch of silly rules and rituals. Jesus gives His believers a new nature that replaces the sin nature we are born with. Old mo told his followers that the old sin nature is best. Jesus said if ' they don't accept you and the Message, shake the dust off your feet and move to another place' Old mo said 'if they don't believe kill them enslave them rape the women' and foolish people continue to bang their head on the floor 5 times a day in adoration of a false god as sold them by a false prophet. Yes there will be a judgement day and I am looking forward to it because my righteousness is not my own. I didn't earn it. It is a gift of God. You see I have experienced that gift of God. Things have happened that are completely beyond me. That is why I kept saying 'others say' because I didn't witness what they witnessed. It seems to me I say something whether I am serious or joking or simply being silly and quite often I don't even remember saying it, yet it will have a deep impact on those who heard what I said. I don't claim any credit. If the people who heard me were blessed by what I said then God and God alone was using my mouth to speak to them. A number of years ago I was looking for work for my guys and went into a potential client's office. I didn't tell him what I was looking to do prior other than ask him for 15 minutes of his time. I showed up wearing a Tee shirt and blue jeans and sat down on a chair in his office. He said, "Your a Christian. I don't like Christians". I smiled and told him what I hoped to achieve. Surprisingly he went along with my plan and gave my crew a job. We worked together for a number of years when he again called me to his office. He started out with 'Remember how I told you I don't like Christians? Well last night I got on my knees and asked Jesus to forgive me". "I felt different that I ever have before. Am I now a Christian?" I confirmed that he indeed was now a Christian and that he needed to be baptized. His was a common experience. In talking to people who convert to islam and Christianity the new muslim say it feels natural. The new Christian says it feels 'unnatural' Why is one natural and one unnatural. Well one islam is of this world. It does no good for anyone. Christianity is of the next world and it does good for everyone. Yes I am looking forward to judgement day and I honestly feel sorry for those who were beguiled by the agent of satan mohammed and his false religion called islam.

do you really expect me to read all of this 🤔, so boring 😒
and if you did expect that , i'll be sure that you're just a crazy guy 😆

Ha ha ha no I don't expect you to do anything. You are a typical no mind who is incapable of thought or insight. You even said that when Jesus talked about the Holy Spirit He was talking about old stinking mohammed (may pigs be upon his rotten carcass). Bwahahahahahahaha boy are you foolish.

@OKWTF2: Muslims are not forbidden from reading other scriptures, but they are required to understand and learn the Quran first before studying other religious books.

It all depends on how you want to view the situation. Murder is one of the major sins in Islam and one of the few that are punishable by death penalty. But if the matter is in the hands of the family of the victim, then what is so injustice about it? We see in many countries, murder is punished by prison only, without even consulting the victims' family. Plus, not all murder cases are the same, sometimes people would kill by mistake, don't you think that this person may need another chance?

Personally, I know a family who their son committed a murder when he was about 15-16 years old, he had a fight with his friend and killed him out of anger, he said that he didn't mean to kill him but didn't know what went wrong at that moment. Obviously, he was under age so they took him to a juvenile, and the judge decided to postponed his execution until he reaches 18 years old. Meanwhile, his father asked and plead to the father of the victim to forgive his son, and offered him [i]diyya[/i], but the victim's father did not accept. Few years later, the boy turned 18 and it was time to apply the punishment on him. So the day they decided to execute him, the father of the victim came into the scene and announced publicly that he had forgave the boy and they may not execute him. He did not take any money neither.

This story happened years ago, this boy is now a man who got married and had a kid. He transformed completely. The fact he was given a second chance gave him different prospective of life. What the father of the victim did was very noble. Forgiveness has a special status in Islam and God promised someone who forgives a great reward in Hereafter. Probably, he realized that executing that boy would never return his son back to him, rather it would only break the heart of his parents, since he knows exactly how painful it is to lose a child. This is compassion.

The main goal of the Islamic law is to bring society/community together, not to divide them. You can imagine how much those parents appreciate this man who forgave their son.

May God keep us all safe from harm. Amen!

maybe in some places they can learn but in several of the countries I have been in, NO, they can not. If somehow a person did learn, and for what ever reason decided they want to convert to another religion, yes, the consequences can be called however you want to call it, but "Godly" is not among them. Scary, risky and deadly are more accurate.

Yes, forgiveness of sins is wonderful, but the wages of sins against Gods law is death. There is no sin greater or less than another there is absolutely no major or minor sins. How can there be? Did you violate God's law? Is God perfect? Than what and how do you come up with layers? It wouldn't be God's law, it would be God's suggestion. To me that comes off as completely ridiculous. But I believe that God is perfect and does not make mistakes, that is my belief.

IF God's law is against murder, there are no layers of murder, so what you seem to be saying is God's law must be flawed in some way. Again, I do not believe that God makes mistakes.

This does not mean there is no way for a person to be forgiven nor allowed a second chance, God had provided a way for that to happen.

For me personally, to claim that this way is through a blood money clause with protection from God for the person who gave money value on a human life is something I find objectionable beyond my understanding of the very nature of Lord our God.

It is fine if it helps you and your community, but I just can not accept that God would put money value on a human life.

Especially when the way to love and forgiveness was already provided for centuries earlier.

@OKWTF2: God is perfect and the law of God is perfect. I respect your point of view, but people are not the same, and their situations are different. It would be injustice to treat all cases the same way. Nobody said that '[i]diyya[/i]' is set as a "value" of human life, rather it's a mean of damage control (financially) to the family if the victim was the breadwinner. It's an option, not an obligation.

A murderer might be forgiven in this life, but if he/she did not repent, their punishment will be with God in Hereafter, which is harder and more severe.

All praise is due to Allah.

@Madeleine: subhanaho w taala
and peacebe upon his prophet Mohamed

Madeleine is one of the most kind people on SW

@JustImagine: Aww.. I'm speechless. Thank you very much.

@JustImagine: she is a wannabe terrorist absolutely nothing nice about her peddling her dogma.

@Ic3Queen: 90% of the outer space is invisible to us. We are not able to see it and scientists couldn't even define what it is. So how do we expect to see The One who created this expanding universe?

Islam gave my life order and higher purpose. I'm no longer under control of my desires. God created us and He knows what we need to achieve inner peace.

@Madeleine: [c=#002673] Obviously cause 'God' is 'void' no matter so you're right now can you define something that is void?

About Islam. Believe what you will no one will argue it it's expecting everyone to think the same way or imposing such a belief thats wrong.

[/c]

@Ic3Queen: Religion should not be forced on anyone. Islam requires sincerity, and sincerity can never be achieved by force. My aim is to express my beliefs, because I'm first and foremost Muslim. I don't view religion as a mean of restriction, rather it's a source of freedom for me, and I say this based on my spiritual journey.

I appreciate your insight, and disagreement should always be expressed with mutual respect. I wish you all the best and I'd like to share with you a copy of the Quran, please give it a go if you're interested.

@TheCapedCrusader007: I'm only doing a favor to myself .. nobody will benefit or lose anything by my Islam.

Good for you, as ling as you are doing your will and and not because someone else thinks it is good.

@TheCapedCrusader007: I wish you all the best.

Thank you sir. I do respect people of other faiths. It's their privilege to choose their path in life. But I would suggest that you study Islam rather than reading about it. I think you would come up with different opinion.

Explain please.

insallah!

Everything is in allah's hands. He is infinitly wise and ultimately decides everything, he even created us all! The reason why Israel can defend itself against all odds is because Allah allows it, that's the only reason, he permits it. He is thus the supreme Commander of the IDF! He will not allow jews to be slaughtered in the name of Islam, so HE created the IDF! He is truly brilliant! Why is it the christian nazis who have jewish blood on their hands and not Muslims in the modern age? It's because Allah made it so! Think about it! It's brilliant! Now Islam can say, christian's have jewish blood on their hands (hollocaust), not muslims! Because of allah. This proves the mercifullness of Islam!
