2.the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace) taught us that supplications are answered in one of three ways:
[1] by actually giving the thing being asked;
?

Lilzmalcolm:

[2] Or by warding off a harm that would have otherwise afflicted the person;
?

Lilzmalcolm:

[3] Or as gifts awaiting the person in the next life, which is the best form of du’a being answered. [Musnad Ahmad].
?

Lilzmalcolm:

This, is the reason behind the conversion of many from Islaam to atheism, the claim that they were once in a situation of need and God didn't answer his calls, or because he suffered a lot despite the fact that he worships God.
So, they go on and decide that God is not just and therefore does not exist.?

Lilzmalcolm:

Now, by disbelieving in God, does your situation get better?
?

Lilzmalcolm:
Recently, I stumbled across a pitiful post made by a medical doctor, with which he was avowing his views about God.
He made reference to many situations where patients would be on the verge of death, call God, and their call would be unanswered.
Well, it could be a problem to christians, but not to muslims.
Why?
Because we have the recorded sayings of the prophet, known as the hadeeth explaining to us whatever could leave our minds open for a dirt wall to be built around it.

1.The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Call on Allah while having full conviction that He will answer, and realize that Allah does not answer the du’a that proceeds from a heedless, inattentive heart.” [Tirmidhi]

2.the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace) taught us that supplications are answered in one of three ways:
[1] by actually giving the thing being asked;
[2] Or by warding off a harm that would have otherwise afflicted the person;
[3] Or as gifts awaiting the person in the next life, which is the best form of du’a being answered. [Musnad Ahmad].

This, is the reason behind the conversion of many from Islaam to atheism, the claim that they were once in a situation of need and God didn't answer his calls, or because he suffered a lot despite the fact that he worships God.
So, they go on and decide that God is not just and therefore does not exist.

Meanwhile, this is against the human sense, why is there a paradise and a hellfire?
There are, so that you may be rewarded for your deeds in this world and your patience when you were tested by God.

Now, by disbelieving in God, does your situation get better?
No, because after the suffering in this world, you believe you die and everything ends?
So, that's just?
It's just that the politicians that stole our money are never rewarded and those that didn't, never rewarded too?
Then, why should they stop stealing?

onetrack:


You have failed to demonstrate that Allah exists, and that paradise and hell exist as well. You have failed to demonstrate that Muhammad was a prophet. You have not provided any method to test empirically the validity of any of your claims.

Therefore what you have written is completely inconsequential and meaningless.

akintom:


Evidences abound to the effect that Allah has never and will never grant prayer requests.

Evidences indeed. Bring them forth. Don't just tell me evidences exist.

This is according to Myths and tales by moonlight. Nothing like this can be established objectively.


Like the illusionary promise of 70 virgins abi?

Well, I don't know where you guys got your 70 virgins shit from.
Back it up with a quranic verse.
And man, the promise of paradise is not an illusion. If there are billions of stars, each so much bigger than the earth, why does it make no sense to you that there's a paradise.
Imagine someone had been told about how gigantic each star is, and how much the stars are ten thousand years ago,
what do you think he'd have said?
He'd have said just as you say now about paradise.
Why?
Because he was ignorant of the fact that besides this earth, any other planet exists.
So, if there could be these much stars, then why couldn't there be a paradise?

this is not atheism. This is called religious disillusionment. Atheism can be likened to a man who has been healed of blindness, he certainly will never wish to be blind again.

Well, blindness has grades, so being delivered from a stage of total blindness to a stage of partial blindness is great.
But don't you ever wish to stop wearing glasses?



* yes, i can refuse to believe that receiving blood transfusion angers god. I will live and not suffer pain or death.

Can't make any sense outta this.

* I can reject Allah and Mohammad as worthy of any notice. Yet i will live a fulfilling life. Devoid of:

# fanaticism
# terrorism
# hatred
# fatalism
# child abuse and slavery
# chauvinistic and misogynistic tendencies.

Wow! Would you? Would you live a peaceful life by knowing that you'd never be punished for killing, stealing, or any bad thing? That's criminal.
So, what'd make me think slavery as being wrong? We're not equal and can never be equal. Why has 'nature' created us unequal? Created some as presidents and some as slaves?
What do you think would ever make an atheist slave happy if he knows that after the suffering in this world, he'd never be rewarded. He'd live a completely sad life.
But, a theist would know that as long as he believes in God, there's a promise of a better life, that'd get him going and happy.
So, if what you wanna achieve is a world pervaded with happiness, with everyone happy, then theism not atheism is the way.
