Does Muslims Have Father?? by malvisguy212: 9:34am On Jun 12, 2015 |
As I’ve studied the spiritual power behind Islam and wondered how this spiritual power influenced Muhammad’s theology, a well known difference between Islam’s god and Christianity’s God kept coming to mind. That difference is that Islam’s god is never described or known as "Father", but in both Christianity and Judaism, God is known as Father. I thought about this not just from a mere doctrinal point of view, (anyone familiar with basic Islam knows that it has no concept of God as Father), but rather from a spiritual and relational point of view. I realized something about Muhammad’s relationship: the spiritual power behind Islam never gave Muhammad the intimate love that a father gives his son . That is why Muhammad NEVER called that spiritual power "father". He simply did not know it that way. The relationship between Muhammad and his god was one of a slave to his master, with obedience, rather than love, being the primary impulse. Below is how Muhammad described this relationship. Narrated 'Umar: I heard the Prophet saying, "Do not exaggerate in praising me as the Christians praised the son of Mary, for I am only a Slave. So, call me the Slave of Allah and His Apostle." [1] (NOTE 1: Muhammad did talk about loving Allah, and about Allah’s love. But Allah’s love is predicated upon the Muslim’s performance and obedience, not on their relationship. More on that later.) (NOTE 2: I know the word "Allah" means God in Arabic and that Arabic Christians use the word "Allah" for God. However, when I use the word, "Allah", I am specifically referring to the god of Islam). Sura 5:18 And (both) the Jews and the Christians say: "We are the children of Allah 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 Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, and to Him is the return (of all). You can see from the Quranic verse above that Muhammad refused to accept Christians and Jews as God’s children because He disciplined them. However, both the Old and New Testaments Bible teach that a loving father disciplines his children. Hebrews 12:7-11 Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father? If you are not disciplined (and everyone undergoes discipline), then you are illegitimate children and not true sons. Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of our spirits and live! Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. |

All I see in this post from your use of 'god' and 'God' is all DISCRIMINATION and nothing more. Get used to the fact that different humans around different areas of the world have different conceptions about the one true Almighty God and so build their religions around their own understanding. God is too mysterious and infinite to be well known by only one particular religion. Get used to it and stop trying to stir up differences and intensified hatred. 4 Likes |

ikenigel:what you are trying to say is this: the universe is too big to have been created by one God. Anyway we are not talking about the uses of the name God/Allah, No, we are talking about the relationship of God to his creatures. |

[quote author=malvisguy212 post=34703390][/quote] God is incomparable, self-sustaining and neither begets nor was begotten; Islam is the complete and universal version of a primordial faith that has been revealed before through many prophets including Abraham , Moses , Ishmael and Jesus ; that these previous messages and revelations may have been partially changed or corrupted over time and the Qur'an is the final unaltered revelation from God (The Final Testament). 2 Likes |

Re: Does Muslims Have Father?? by Nobody: 10:59pm On Jun 13, 2015 |
What sort of daddy issues do you have? Is the father that begat you not your father? Sahih International: Say, [O Muhammad], "If you should love Allah , then follow me, [so] Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful." The Noble Quran 3:31 http://www.quranandinjil.org/me8000/pdfs/Gods_love_in_the_Quran.pdf I think the link above explains everything. |
