growing from a child to a man?

I would have to agree with you. Most people do not take the time to see all the great things that God did for them that day. Or that God is always with us , giving us a helping hand . However I can see all the things pointed out or Quoted in the Book of Revelations that are happening today. Maybe these people want nothing more then to be with Our Lord & Saviour

why does he need forgivness he was just following the quran .\n\n"Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has given the one more (strength) than the other, and because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in (the husband's) absence what Allah would have them guard. As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (Next), refuse to share their beds, (And last) beat them (lightly); but if they return to obedience, seek not against them Means (of annoyance): For Allah is Most High, great (above you all)," (4:34).

Al hamdu lillahi Rabbel Alameen .. Quran Verse 1\n\nThanks God the lord of All Worlds ..

I think the key is in Serving God, and what that means.  What does it mean to serve God?  I think it means to make the world a better place for all beings.  So for example, this is why part of the Islamic laws require that charity be given.  Hospitality is a value, and brotherhood, and so on.  So there is meaning in all that entails this service to God.  If God is served, then the world will be better for future generations, and all can aspire to their greatest potentialities, and they can reach their maximum abilities.  \n\nIn the service of God in Islam, one prays 5 times a day.  This fixes the mind upon God so that the goal is never lost sight of.  And in doing so, one constantly reminds themselves of what they ought to be doing throughout their days.  They should not be wasting time on frivolous things, but doing things to raise the level of good in the world.

God the Most High gave us the following answer to your question in the Noble Quran:\n\n"O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise (each other). Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of God is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And God has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things)."[Translation of verse 49.13]\n\n"To Him belong all (creatures) in the heavens and on earth: Even those who are in His (very) Presence are not too proud to serve Him, nor are they (ever) weary (of His service):\nThey celebrate His praises night and day, nor do they ever flag or intermit.\nOr have they taken (for worship) gods from the earth who can raise (the dead)?\nIf there were, in the heavens and the earth, other gods besides God, there would have been confusion in both! but glory to God, the Lord of the Throne: (High is He) above what they attribute to Him!"[Translation of verses 21.19-21.22]\n\n\n"Say (O Muhammad, to the disbelievers): If there were other gods along with Him, as they say, then had they sought a way against the Lord of the Throne.\nGlorified is He, and High Exalted above what they say!\n The seven heavens and the earth and all that is therein praise Him, and there is not a thing but hymneth His praise; but ye understand not their praise. Lo! He is ever Clement, Forgiving."[Translation of verses 17:42-17.44]

THE BOOK OF THE HOLY\nGOD\n(AL-QURAN)\n\nThe Revelation___ revealed to the Prophet__ is Al-Quran. The contents whereof are, doubtlessly, truthful. It is a living Scripture__ which provides instant guidance__ for every problem. Whosoever is desirous to seek guidance to the Straight Path___ he should, immediately, consult this Scripture. Manner of consultation is, however highly important.\n\nThe person who is desirous to consult the Holy Quran__ should be at first__ in a neat and clean condition___ like those of the pious-ones. Then, he should sit in solitude__ and solemnly pronounce:-\n\n“I take refuge in my Lord, One and Alone God of all, against Satan and his trickery. O’Lord, You are the Beneficent and the Merciful and the Almighty God. Lead me towards the Right path, the path of those whom you blessed, not of those, whom you cursed.”\n\nThereafter, he should open the Holy Quran. He will find the requisite guidance__ by the Grace of our Gracious Lord__ on the opened page__ in clear & vivid terms of the Verses.\n\nBeware please! It is an open and oft-repeated offer of the Lord__ that whosoever will seek guidance__ from the Lord__ the Lord will guide him__ definitely. So, those who are ambitious for direct guidance__ they should resort to the Lord__ through the Holy Quran__ directly.\n\nHoly Quran is the Scripture for all__ and all times__ till the Day of Resurrection. Rather, even after that__ as the reward or retribution of the deeds__ will be given according to the laws of Quran. So__ Quran is for all times__ and for the whole mankind__ irrespective of the caste, colour__ and creed. The man as a man__ or the mankind as the most glorified creature of the Lord___ is the central addressee of the Holy Quran. According to the Holy Quran__ whosoever commits the following wrongs___ he can not be held as worthy of the title of “man.”\n\n1.The one who tell lies.\n\n2.The one who does not honour his words/pledges/promises.\n\n3.The one who does not ensure justice.\n\n4.The one who does not safeguard his character.\n\n\n5.The one who earns his livelihood by unfair means.\n\n6.The one who leads a lustful life.\n\n7.The one who usurps the rights of others.\n\n8.The one who prefers the world upon Hereafter.\n\n9.The one who is not thankful to the Lord, his God.\n\n10.The one who does not seek forgiveness for his or her sins from the Lord Al-Mighty.\n\nBut__ whosoever avoids these wrongs__ he is positively worthy of the title of “man”. The Law of the Lord__ in this regard__ is very simple and clear. The Lord does guide such people__ who seek guidance from the Lord__ just in terms of the Humanity. “God Also helps those who help themselves.”\n\nGuidance from the Lord should, therefore, be always sought__ sincerely and wholeheartedly. No pretension or contradiction__ in words and deeds__ is allowable in the kingdom of the Lord. Because such a condition__ may lead to a disaster__ in the world as well as the Hereafter.\n\nBeware please! A neat and clean thing__ is always kept in a neat and clean place. Same is the case of a neat-hearted and clear-headed person. The person__ who leads a pure and pious life__ will be definitely chosen by the Lord__ for positive reward__ in the world as well as Hereafter. So__ kingdom of Heaven is a place meant for__ the pure and pious alone. It is not meant for___ the impure and impious, at all.\n\nHoly Quran tells us about the true believers of the Lord. The true believers of the Lord__ do speak of the Lord__ in terms of the prediction of Jesus. Praise be to the Lord__ these true believers/servants/Muslims of the Lord__ are speaking of the Lord__ with reference to the Lord’s Absolute Oneness or Monotheism__ for the last 1415 years__ or even more, persistently. The followers of Jesus__ should positively recognize them __ and their mission__ the both__ as that is the standing demand from Jesus, himself__ in terms of his prayer on the cross__ the psalm-22.

No! this verse refer to those who are attacking muslims unfairly and give them hard time. if you continue reading the next verse (90) you will understand.\n\nQuran 4:(89, 90)\n[89] They wish that you reject Faith, as they have rejected (Faith), and thus that you all become equal (like one another). So take not Auliyâ' (protectors or friends) from them, till they emigrate in the Way of God (to Muhammad (peace be upon him)) But if they turn back (from Islâm), take (hold) of them and kill them wherever you find them, and take neither Auliyâ' (protectors or friends) nor helpers from them. \n\n[90] "Except those who join a group, between you and whom there is a treaty (of peace), or those who approach you with their breasts restraining from fighting you as well as fighting their own people. Had God willed, indeed He would have given them power over you, and they would have fought you. So if they withdraw from you, and fight not against you, and offer you peace, then God has opened no way for you against them." \n\n\nalso in this verse it explains even more\nQuran 2:190\n\n"And fight in the Way of God those who fight you, but transgress not the limits. Truly, God does not love the transgressors."

hi \ni totally understand what u are sayin, see the main problem is that most ppl who read the Quran, interpret it in the wrong way, or sometimes they just make up stuff, like some say that killing others will lead u to heaven, that is made up stuff, Islam teaches us to accept all other races, religions and to respect them, no matter what the religion, if the person worships God, respect them, If the person worships the devil, respect them and their religion.\n\n\nif u have anymore questions or r confused feel free to reply

A very good question. Thanks for the verse; I didn't even know that was in the Quran. I would be interested to know how what the Muslims say on this one.

you asked for an opinion and that you shall get.first, not capitalizing Allah is disrespectful.["they do not esteem Him as He has the right to be esteemed"]Quran. Allah is the creator of the heavens of the earth and all between.and i can assure you that the answers you received from the Christians were not intended to teach.our position is clear.if you cant prove that there is another God besides Him than  it is He alone that deserves worship.we don't give partners  to Him.we don't ask for anything from other than Him.we dont worship His creation.we believe in Him,His books,His angels,His prophets,fate and the day of regret.He is high above all that the ignorant ascribe unto Him.He is the majestic,the oft-forgiving ,stern in punishment. He is Allah.

look sweety\nallah is the god or lord.allah is the arabic translation of the word god.and the first step 2 becom a muslim is to say.(i wetniess that theres no god but allah,and i wetniess that Mohamed is his slave and his messenger.\njesus:-he is a messenger from the god allah sent him to the people 2 guied them and deliver Allah's messege.he is the son of meryam the vargin. he is not the son of the god cause the god is unique.he don't have sons or doughters god is the creatour of every thing.and i'll refer to an ayat from the koraan about allah and jesus and i'll give u a site of koraan translated in all the langauges.\n1. Say (O Muhammad ()): "He is Allâh, (the) One.\n\n2. "Allâh-us-Samad (The Self-Sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need, He neither eats nor drinks). \n\n3. "He begets not, nor was He begotten; \n\n4. "And there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him." \n\nsorah.alIkhlas,holly koraan.\nabout jesus:-\n30. "He ['Iesa (Jesus)] said: Verily! I am a slave of Allâh, He has given me the Scripture and made me a Prophet;" \n\n31. "And He has made me blessed wheresoever I be, and has enjoined on me Salât (prayer), and Zakât, as long as I live." \n\n32. "And dutiful to my mother, and made me not arrogant, unblest. \n\n33. "And Salâm (peace) be upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the day I shall be raised alive!" \n\n34. Such is 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary). (it is) a statement of truth, about which they doubt (or dispute). \n\n35. It befits not (the Majesty of) Allâh that He should beget a son [this refers to the slander of Christians against Allâh, by saying that 'Iesa (Jesus) is the son of Allâh]. Glorified (and Exalted be He above all that they associate with Him). When He decrees a thing, He only says to it, "Be!" and it is. \n\n36. ['Iesa (Jesus) said]: "And verily Allâh is my Lord and your Lord. So worship Him (Alone). That is the Straight Path. (Allâh's Religion of Islâmic Monotheism which He did ordain for all of His Prophets)." [Tafsir At-Tabarî] \nsourah,Mryam,Ayah 29.Holly Koran \nabout jesus too:-\n17. Surely, in disbelief are they who say that Allâh is the Messiah, son of Maryam (Mary) . Say (O Muhammad ): "Who then has the least power against Allâh, if He were to destroy the Messiah, son of Maryam (Mary), his mother, and all those who are on the earth together?" And to Allâh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them. He creates what He wills. And Allâh is Able to do all things.  \n\n18. And (both) the Jews and the Christians say: "We are the children of Allâh and His loved ones." Say: "Why then does He punish you for your sins?" Nay, you are but human beings, of those He has created, He forgives whom He wills and He punishes whom He wills. And to Allâh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, and to Him is the return (of all). \n\nsourah,ALmaa'da,Ayah 17,Holly Koraan\ntheres more and more to till u about Allah &Jesus the messenger of god (p.p)up on him. it's better to read the holly koraan but a real and orginal copy from it.\nfor me it's not logical that jesus is the god,cause chrestien says that jesus(p.p)up on him died in the cross.how could a creatour and god daie?.if he is a god how he couldn't protect him self form people he created?.is that logical?.i don't think so.\nany way i hope that i answered your question.but theres more to explain.try this links
