Islam provides 70 virgins in heaven for those who gave up their lives as a suicide bomber. For many that would not be enough. What would you ask for?

Hi, and thanks for your thoughtful posting. It would be nice if we could all be depended upon to live in peace together. However, bad things happen to good people, and good acts get repaied by evil ones. This is the fallen nature of human beings, we are imperfect and can never be completly "good." \n\nTherefore, if there was an after-life, then were it to be filled with fallen beings like ourselves, it would not be any beter than our world today where genocide, rape, bigotry and the like are regular occurances. \n\nAll world religions except christiantiy have one thing in common. They require the beliver to work for their "redemption" and usually have no assurance of salvation after their death. Bhuddhism is no exception. The eight-fold path to enlightment requires one to act in the example Bhudda set, but give no assurance that this will lead to nirvana or life after death.\n\nChristianity acknowledges we have all fallen short. However, our Lord loved us so much that while we still did not know him, Christ humbled himself and became man. His life was perfect and sinless and his death was a sacrifice for the rest of us. His ressurection is proof that by simply "beliving in him" we can receive the assurance of salavation and life after death.\n\nPerhaps one reason that some Christians are so confrontational is becuase our way does not require the acts or works or sacrcifices that other religions do. We have a tremendous amount of freedom which may lead to hipocracy and poor behaviou. However, do not let the few bad apples turn you away from exploring the truth for yourself.

For details I am quoting a sound hadith of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. He said,\n\n   `When the believer is about to depart from this world and go forward into the Next World, angels with faces as bright as the sun descend from the heavens and sit around him in throngs stretching as far as the eye can see. Then the Angel of Death comes and sits at his head and says, "Good soul, come out to forgiveness and pleasure from Allah!" Then his soul emerges like a drop of water flows from a water-skin and the angel takes hold of it. When he has grasped it, the other angels do not leave it in his hand even for the twinkling ofan eye. They take it and place it in a perfumed shroud and a fragrance issues from it like the sweetest scent of musk found on the face on the earth.\n\n   `Then they bear it upwards and whenever they take it past a company of angels, they ask, "Who is this good soul?" and the angels with the soul reply, "So-and-so the son of so-and-so," using the best names by which people used to call him in this world. They bring him to the lowest heaven and ask for the gate to be opened for him. It is opened for him and angels who are near Allah from each of the heavens accompany him to the subsequent heaven until he reaches to the heaven where Allah the Great is. Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, says, `Register the book of My slave in Illiyyun and take him back to earth. I created them from it and I return them to it and I will bring them forth from it again."\n\n   `His soul is then returned to his body and two angels come to him. They make him sit up and say to him, "Who is your Lord?" He replies, "My Lord is Allah." They ask him, "What is your religion?" He replies, "My religion is Islam." They ask him, "Who is this man who was sent among you?" He replies, "The Messenger of Allah." They ask him, "How did you come to know these things?" He replies, "I read the Book of Allah, believed it, and declared it to be true." Then a Voice from on high declares, "My slave has spoken the truth, so spread out carpets from the Garden for him and open a gate of the Garden for him!" Then some of its fragrance and perfume comes to him, his grave is expanded for him as far as the eye can see, and a man with beautiful garments and a fragrant scent comes to him and says, "Rejoice in what delights you for this is the day which you were promised." He asks, "Who are you? Yours is a face which presages good." He replies, "I am your good actions." Then he says, "O Lord, let the Last Hour come soon so that I may rejoin my family and my property!"\n\n   When an unbeliever is about to depart from this world and go forward into the Next World, angels with black faces descend from the heavens carrying rough hair-cloth and sit around him in throngs stretching as far as the eye can see. Then the Angel of Death comes and sits at his head and says, "Foul soul, come out to the wrath and anger of Allah.' Then his soul divides up in his body and it is dragged out like a skewer is pulled out of wet wool. Then the angel takes hold of it. When he has grasped it, the other angels do not leave it in his hand even for the twinkling of an eye. They take it and wrap it in the rough hair-cloth and a stench comes out of it like the worst stench of a corpse on the face of the earth.\n\n   `Then they take it up and whenever they take it past a company of angels, they ask, "Who is this foul soul?" and the angels with the soul reply, "So-and-so the son of so-and-so," using the worst names by which people used to call him in this world. They bring him to the lowest heaven and ask for the gate to be opened for him. It does not get opened.'\n\n   The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, then recited, `The gates of heaven wil

Your request will be granted. You are not alone. Many people believe that Islam has been incorrectly portrayed and stereotyped. Even in America, there are many who support you. Do not feel alone.\n\nAmon kaj gxojon

This Life is temporary. 60,70,even 100 years at the most. Time flies by everyday. One thing everyone can agree on is that One day we will all Die. But the differences come on what will happen after Death or if anything will. From the Islamic view we beleive this life is a Test to see who will enter Heaven and who will enter Hell. The way to Heaven is to Obey and worship God. By following God's rules and restrictions. Since God is PERFECT we should expect that the path to Him would be from a Perfect Source. That would be the Quran and God challenges any one to find any doubt in it or produce a single chapter like it.\n"1 Alif. Lam. Mim. \n2 This is the Scripture whereof there is no doubt, a guidance unto those who ward off (evil).  \n3 Who believe in the Unseen, and establish worship, and spend of that We have bestowed upon them;  \n4 And who believe in that which is revealed unto thee (Muhammad) and that which was revealed before thee, and are certain of the Hereafter.  \n5 These depend on guidance from their Lord. These are the successful."  (Ch.2, Verses 1-5)\n"Or do they say: "He (Muhammad SAW) has forged it?" Say: "Bring then a Soorah (chapter) like unto it, and call upon whomsoever you can, besides Allah, if you are truthful!"  (Chapter #10, Verse #38)\n\nAs Muslims we beleive that after Death everybody who everlived will be Ressurrected Again For The Day Of Judgement. In which we will find out who is going to Heaven or HEll. As stated in the Quran.\n"48 And they say: "When will this promise (i.e. Resurrection) be fulfilled, if you are truthful?"  \n49 They await only but a single Saihah (shout, etc.), which will seize them while they are disputing!  \n50 Then they will not be able to make bequest, nor they will return to their family.  \n51 And the Trumpet will be blown (i.e. the second blowing) and behold! From the graves they will come out quickly to their Lord.  \n52 They will say: "Woe to us! Who has raised us up from our place of sleep." (It will be said to them): "This is what the Most Beneficent (Allah) had promised, and the Messengers spoke truth!"  \n53 It will be but a single Saihah (shout, etc.), so behold! They will all be brought up before Us!  \n54 This Day (Day of Resurrection), none will be wronged in anything, nor will you be requited anything except that which you used to do.  \n55 Verily, the dwellers of the Paradise, that Day, will be busy in joyful things.  \n56 They and their wives will be in pleasant shade, reclining on thrones.  \n57 They will have therein fruits (of all kinds) and all that they ask for.  \n58 (It will be said to them): Salamun (peace be on you), a Word from the Lord (Allah), Most Merciful.  \n59 (It will be said): "And O you Al-Mujrimoon (criminals, polytheists, sinners, disbelievers in the Islamic Monotheism, wicked evil ones, etc.)! Get you apart this Day (from the believers).  \n60 Did I not ordain for you, O Children of Adam, that you should not worship Shaitan (Satan). Verily, he is a plain enemy to you.  \n61 And that you should worship Me (Alone Islamic Monotheism, and set up not rivals, associate-gods with Me). That is a Straight Path.  \n62 And indeed he (Satan) did lead astray a great multitude of you. Did you not, then, understand?  \n63 This is Hell which you were promised!  \n64 Burn therein this Day, for that you used to disbelieve.  \n65 This Day, We shall seal up their mouths, and their hands will speak to Us, and their legs will bear witness to what they used to earn. (It is said that ones left thigh will be the first to bear the witness). (Tafsir At-Tabaree, Vol. 22, Page 24)  \n66 And if it had been Our Will, We would surely have wiped out (blinded) their eyes, so that they would struggle for the Path, how then would they see?  \n67 And if it had been Our Will, We could have transformed them (into animals or lifeless objects) in their places. Then they should have been unable to go f

The right thing? Kill over 3,000 innocent people and wreck a nations economy that has helped you for the last 85 years. As a result, by now about 7,000 Americans have died and about 375,000 Muslims have died. And now -it is really going to heat up. Several millions of people will die-of which 99.99% will be Muslims-and most of them really innocent! How can that be right?

My friend, I agree with you, yet I also see a more pressing matter at hand. What about those persecutors and all the non-believers? If they die, they will not rejoice with all of us in heaven with the Lord God. I will pray for both the believers and the non-believers. There isn't much I can do from my present state but pray and preach the Word, since i'm not in a position to do anything but that. Email me if you have questions or are a fellow believer in Christ at questinchrist@yahoo.com. God bless

because they are brainwashed from the moment that they are born that this the path to heaven and the more infidels they take with them the better, not to mention they have 76 virgins waiting on them in heaven, I just wonder how long do 76 virgins last when your there for eternity??

Hell\n\nThe devil temps terrorist with 72 virgins, but when they get there, the terroists has to deal with 72 yapping women who want him to buy them each 72 pairs of designer shoes, give each of the 72 virgins 72 kids each, and then the terrorist has to deal with each of the 72 virgins partents!!!  He's been sucker jumped into a living hell ... so much to do, no time to enjoy love, just more and more bickering of women!!!\n\nI bet it's even worse because those terroists seem to be the biggest biggits when it comes to respecing female dignaty ... so this probably amplifies their hellish experience! Ha-Ha

I would wish that all the people of the world would start caring about each other like family, and see the similarities between us all rather than the differences, and that with this new found togetherness we could all accept the various religions of the world without trying to convert everyone to one faith, I would also stimulate that my wish happens in the way that I imagine and want it to rather than some twisted Genie style joke which backfires. Then everyone in the world would start sharing food and caring about each other.\n\nOr I might just wish for a beer, I am quite thirsty......................... decisions, decisions ?

You will be in heaven if you accept ISLAM! the true religion.
667577
Let us start with the number, it is around 1.3 and some say 1.5, but if 2 Billions make you feel good about Islam, then, that is fine.  Consider this a gift.\n\nThe Quran teaches to respect all messangers, it also teaches that Jesus Christ will return break the cross and submit to Allah and his Prophet!  Is that what believe!  Believe in what!  that Jesus Christ the one and only who will return for the judgement day is going to submit to your prophet!  the purpose of his return is to turn people to Islam, not for the judgement!?  To break the cross? what would that serve! in the end of time, nothing will be important any more.  Not buildings with crosses on top of them, not cars, homes, money etc etc. it is only the Lord and Us, and nothing more.  And you prophet will be one of those who will be judge along with all of us for the sins he did in his life, just like all of us.  If you believe how so important what has been fortolled in the Bible, then believe in that as well.\n\nAre you a puppet.  If Muhammad said something, must you fellow it without question!  Do you think Jesus was a fake, if or not!  then be careful when it comes for the judgment day. It is he who will be judging you.  None other than Jesus Christ.  \n\nI don't believe in Muhammad because of his life. I believe he was a great leader, but nothing more.  a Leader of more than 1 billion, or as you wish 2 billion people.   Not a very holy life that is.  Filled with war, too many sins, and broken rules.  'Do as I say, but not as I do'!  that is what Muhammad's life was.\n\nThe Bible spoke of many people, many who were sincere honorable people, and many who ruled harshly, and another who wants to conquer the world, and another who we all know of the anti Christ.  which one was Muhammad?\n\nWhat those 2 billion people may say about Jesus Christ will not change a single thing about him.  He is the one, the Lord.  If you don't believe me! then, go to the Quran and truly read it, and what will happen in the judgement day.  Who is going to judge you, and all of us.  Watch you words carefully, for someone much higher than the both of us is watching.\n\nSorry if I hurt your feeling, but he was a leader, a solider, a man  with power who ruled and believed in one God.  So did many others.  A man who wanted to convert the whole world into Islam, one who wants Islam to conqure the world.  Look around you and hear your brothers and sister what they say!\n\nJesus want to bring us close to God.  Not rule this world, or force others to convert to christianity.  In his time, there was no christianity.  It was him, as Jewish person, preaching to all people about God, and what we must do to come closer to God.  No title to religions, no powers over others, just to love one another, unlike what Muhammad wanted.\n\nYou have 100% right to believe in what you want as I have the right to believe or disbelief in what I want, and I choose not to believe in Muhammad a Prophet, but as a Leader of many people.  Sorry, I don't want to hurt you.  It is a freedom to choose.\n\nBy the way today is Saint John the Baptist Birthday. the one who referred to Jesus Christ as the Comforter.  :)\nBless you in the name of One God

Islam has yet to reach its peak. It came into existence roughly 400 years after Christianity and is making steady progress. By the time it is matured it will probably be the dominant religion (and a new one will be in its infancy)

Wow -\n\nMe too.  We need more of you in every religion.
