Question for muslims?
113208
Well, Heaven in Muslim context is something which cannot be described, because it is entirely a different creation. This is reflected in the following verse\n"Now no person knows what delights of the eye are kept hidden (in reserve) for them - as a reward for their (good) deeds." Quran 32:17.\n\nSince there is no means to describe heaven, God uses similtitude of things that people likes in this world to describe heaven.\n"A similitude of the Garden which is promised unto those who keep their duty (to Allah): Underneath it rivers flow; its food is everlasting, and its shade; " Quran 13: 35. \n\nIn earth, sex has got a specific purpose other than enjoyment, that is procreation. There is no need of procreation in heaven so enjoyment there would not be similar to that in earth. There are verses that suggest that will be no weariness in heaven\n\n"And they will say: "Praise be to God, Who has removed from us (all) sorrow: for our Lord is indeed Oft-Forgiving Ready to appreciate (service)\n  Who has, out of His Bounty, settled us in a Home that will last: no toil nor sense of weariness shall touch us therein." Quran 35:35\n\nYou may be interested in this answer also http://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=1006013106005

Lesson #1:\n\nWho is Allah? What is Islam?\nWho are the Muslims?\nWhat do Muslims believe?\n How does one enter Islam?\n=========================================================\n\nWho is Allah? Allah is the creator. The only one. He created all around us in beauty and perfection. He begets not, nor was He begotten, And there is none comparable to him. Muslims use the word Allah in Arabic because it is a special word (it has no plural nor gender. Ie God, Godess, Gods), it means The only worthy of worship. Jesus (Pbuh) used a similar word in Arameic Ellah (or Allah) when referring to God.\n\n\nWhat is Islam? Islam is a way of Life "Not a religion". It is the path Choosen by God for all those who believe in him. Islam litterally means Submission.\n\nWho are the Muslims? The Muslims are the people who submit to God. In arabic the prefix Mu means that some action is taken, in english we use the postfix "er". In english you have the word walk, a person who walks is a Walker. Similarly In Arabic Muslim is the one who Submits his/her will to Allah.\n\n\nWhat do Muslims believe? In God (Allah)\nIn his Angels\nIn His Messengers (From Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, ..... Jesus to Muhammed, PBUT)\nIn his Books ( The Torah, The bible, The Quran, etc)\nIn the  Last Day\nIn divine Pre-destination (Everything happens for a reason)\n\nHow does one enter Islam? Simple bear witness by heart and by tongue that there is no God but God and Muhammed is his messenger! No special ceremony of any kind :)

Thank you for sharing this event. I was touched by your experience.\n\nI have come across the life-stories of many Muslims in particular who saw visions of Jesus Christ, and ultimately committed their lives to Christ.\n\nMany people from other religions as well are coming to Christ (some through such visions).\n\nE.g., see \nhttp://www.godsci.org/gs/chri/testimony/00.html\n\nCordially,\nJohn

i am for free speech!! keep it up!! muslims should learn tolerance just like Christians had too. it is unfair for groups to say it is wrong to depict mohammand but it is OK to depict Christ.

The problem with Muslims is that you hold to the word of one prophet and ignore the rest. Great prophets in the Old Testament prophesied many times of the coming King and how He would suffer to heal His people. I judge a prophet by his message. That message has to be consistent with all the previous messages from God. Mohammad's message is out of sync. It doesn't teach that blood must be shed to gain forgiveness of sin as both the Old and the New Testaments do. You deny Christ's position. Out of His own mouth He claimed to be the I AM God that spoke to Moses from the burning bush. Adam and Eve Died the day they sinned. They lost the presence of God in their lives and physical death followed. Now God is restored in the Lives of the Christian Gos walk with us in our daily walk before Him. We are alive Spiritually again. We still carry with us the body of sin that is subject to physical death. When it is gone our spirits go to the Father who created them and so we are ever with the Lord. I don't know as you can understand the two deaths physical and spiritual because I don't know your teaching that well. All I need to know about Islam is that you deny that Jesus is God. That tells me that your religion is closer to a cult than it is to God...   Jim

Well, first of all I wanna make some things clear.\n\nsomeone here said that the devil has led them away from jesus by tempting them. now, the DEVIL makes people sin right? now, why should the devil lead them to islam? in islam we respect jesus as our prophet, we even have on e whole verse for marriam (or mary). what is so satanic about that? isnt sex a sin in christianity? then why are most of them from "good christian families" doing it so openly? \n"CONVERT OR DIE"? theres no such things. Our prophet mohamed (p.b.u.h) respected the non-muslims, and didnt force them. in our holy book theres a verse that goes " ...you go your way, and we go ours..".\n whos gonna kill these people if they dont convert? your just saying these dumb things to cover up ur insecurity\n\npeople convert to islam, beacause they have found the truth for themselves.\n\nthe reason that people attack this fact buy saying the devil this and that is because they are insecure.\n\nread harun yahya, mauriche bucilles and ahmad deedats books.\nkeep an open mind and read these books before you say this and that.\n\nso far, i have never heard of a muslim converting to any religion and preaching.\n\nOverall, i think its best we stop attacking each other, and learn to respect each other. religion is somthing for yourself, what you believe is sacred in your heart. so the more you question the more you try to make excuses it means youre insecure. peace

As a fellow Muslim, I do not think Christians, as a whole, hate Muslims.  However, I do believe there are ignorant people out there, Christian or not, who make false claims about Islam.  Oh well Brother, we know the Truth and that Islam is the right path.  We respect every religion and everyone.  We got lucky:)

Seriously, when will you understand the difference between extremists and good people (in any religion)\n\nFirst- muslims dont do that. Humans with no understanding do that- no understanding of religion or humanity do that.\n\n9/11 was not done by a muslim. IT was done by a terrorist who happens to claim to be a muslim but really isnt. He is not following his religin in anyway.\n\nSecond: I dont know where you are located, but if you were in the west, watch the news:\nThere are car crashes everyday, alcohol related or not.\nRape including raping kids, kidnapping, child molestation, sexual abuse, murder,  robbery, drug traffikcing and deals, KKK, gang related activities, scandalism, discrimination, vandalism, abortion, soliciting, Arsons,......... daily.\n\nThese are not done by muslims. But done by the west.\nWhy do you choose and only pick what the muslims do.\n\nA good muslim would never do such things. Period. Why do you blame the whole religion by looking at what some people do although everyone tells you they are not following their relgiion correctly.\n\n........ and who kills animals?? I have not heard or seen anyone kill any animals. Infact, it is forbidden for muslims to kill animals that they are not going to eat.\nIt is forbidden to go fishing as a game. Thats how much they respect life.\n\nI think its time you start reading and hearing the news in your own country.

Assalamoalakum Sister Cici,\n\nYou and I are on the same wave-length. Annoyed? A little sometimes, but Allah says they are nothing but a trifling annoyance at best. And what should we do about getting questions from those who mock our faith? Answer the questions in a way that show our faith and patience, and the qualities of who we really are. Don't think other non-Muslims aren't noticing our attitudes are better than the jerks who are asking these idiotic questions. They are just upset because they see they are not effective in their questioning, and their attempts at trying to turn people away from Islam are futile at best. People will always convert to Islam, and love Islam, in spite of their attempts to bash it. The beauty of Islam speaks for itself. Peace sister.\n\nBtw, it seems like Chancer's points of view are not very popular, even among the English. lol. He's just a butt-head. lol. Bye, hun.

Why would you ask a question for others to answer about another faith?\n\nWhat kind of answer do you think you would get?\n\nA muslim will say no.\nA muslim hater would say yes.\nEducted would say some are some aren't.\n\nfor this to be in your mind , the real question is "are you intolerant of muslims?\n\ni think you and all your buddies at the mall already know the answer to it.

thanks for the question, i would advise that if you could email islamic question to askislam@aol.com ( responses will take 1-2 weeks) as you will get answers with refrences that you can check up your self and will get replied by someone that has more understanding abt islam. As many ppl here don't know what there talking as its mixed with truth and false. \nIf you would like more info abt islam just for information purposes (dnt worry not telling you to convert here) i think these three websites are preety good\n\nhttp://www.islamchannel.tv\nhttp://www.islamalways.com ( this one shows preety good media clips)\nhttp://www.watchislam.com \n\nI hope i have helped to answer your question.

To be honest with you I don't know. I am not familiar with the religion. Would I discriminate against a muslim? No, I have no problem with people just because they don't share my beliefs.

Hey dude, I do protest these things. Search for Question post in here by a girl who said that she proud to be a Muslim. And I'm proud to be a Muslim.\n\nCompare to Muslims all over the world, how many 'the so-called 'Muslim Terrorists' are there? 100%? 10%? 1%? I even doubt it's 0.1%. \nBecause this minority we have to take the blame. Do you really think we enjoy for what they have done to us? To our religion? To our Prophet? To Our God? Think!\n\nThey bombed something, they died and buried. They shoot someone, they ran and hide. Guess who's left to take the blame? Us. And better yet, you of all people blame us. Again.\nThese things repeated all over again.\n\nFirst of all, IF THEY DO UNDERSTAND ISLAM, THEY WON'T USE VIOLENCE.\n\nSecondly, IF THEY REALLY FIGHTING FOR JIHAD, WHY WOULD THEY WEAR SOME CHEAP SKI-MASKS? Why they don't show their faces?\nI mean, they think fight for justice, then show their faces to us so that we can know they are truly or not fight for Jihad.\n\nThirdly, SUICIDE IS FORBIDDEN IN ISLAM. Jihad in Islam means to sacrifice your money and time for greater good. \nIt's also mean TO SACRIFICE YOUR LIFE TO PROTECT OTHERS. \nNOT TO SACRIFICE YOUR LIFE TO HURT OTHERS. \nAnd these maniacs go againsts it. They are disobey the Command of the Allah. Totally go against it.\nAnd you, again blaming the peace loving religion Islam and the good Muslims for that. \n\nWell I guess these things going to repeat until there is no good human souls left to really realize the truth.\n\nAnyway, may God and Jesus bless you so that you can understand the Real Islam. Insya-Allah.

I feel the more appropriate question would be.....\n"Do you hate the True Islam or the True muslims?"\n\nThe reason I am saying this is because not many people know this. They think all muslims are the same, unfortunately, you have those muslims who have not understoon the concept of their religion and are just fanatics.\n\nIslam and muslims have been truely misconceptioned in the media. The muslims know it- but the non muslims dont and need to know more about the religion. (Not just by browsing through the  net or listening to the media, but by asking true good muslims and scholars about Islam)\n\nHow would you feel if someone told you that Osama bin laden was a christian or a jew or even a hindu????\nOr the crusades and holocaust was good????\n\nThats how muslims feel when you say OSama bin laden is a muslim... his claim to be a muslim is false or invalid, because he acts nothing like a muslim.
