"Allah! There is no god but He - the Living, The Self-subsisting, Eternal. No slumber can seize Him Nor Sleep. His are all things In the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede In His presence except As he permitteth? He knoweth What (appeareth to His creatures As) Before or After or Behind them. Nor shall they compass Aught of his knowledge Except as He willeth. His throne doth extend Over the heavens And on earth, and He feeleth No fatigue in guarding And preserving them, For He is the Most High. The Supreme (in glory)." [Surah al-Baqarah 2: 255][b][/b] |
Key reason: 1. Contradiction and errors in the bible 2. Internet and more information 3. Suffering and hardship 4. Unanswered prayers |
PastorAIO:All prophet s and messengers came with the same worship God. And assuredly We have sent among every people a messenger (with the command): worship God…" (Quran 16:36) Worship God is acknowledging God and doing what is right and avoiding all that wrong. He created you and He has the right to give you command or do you create yourself. And He it is Who has created the heavens and the earth in six Days and His Throne was on the water, that He might try you, which of you is the best in deeds. But if you were to say to them: "You shall indeed be raised up after death," those who disbelieve would be sure to say, "This is nothing but obvious magic." [Noble Quran 11:7] |
[[b]Quran 2:276-280] God condemns usury, and blesses charities. God dislikes every disbeliever, guilty. O you who believe, you shall observe God and refrain from all kinds of usury, if you are believers. If you do not, then expect a war from God and His messenger. But if you repent, you may keep your capitals, without inflicting injustice, or incurring injustice. If the debtor is unable to pay, wait for a better time. If you give up the loan as a charity, it would be better for you, if you only knew. [Quran 3:130] O you who believe, you shall not take usury, compounded over and over. Observe God, that you may succeed. [Quran 4:161] And for practicing usury, which was forbidden, and for consuming the people's money illicitly. We have prepared for the disbelievers among them painful retribution. Quran 2:275] Those who charge usury are in the same position as those controlled by the devil's influence. This is because they claim that usury is the same as commerce. However, God permits commerce, and prohibits usury. Thus, whoever heeds this commandment from his Lord, and refrains from usury, he may keep his past earnings, and his judgment rests with God. As for those who persist in usury, they incur Hell, wherein they abide forever [/b][b][/b] |
Everything created by God the All-Wise Lord of the Universe, must naturally have a purpose which shall be fulfilled. Thus everything has a fixed age to exist. Nothing is permanent and shall pass away with the fulfillment of the purpose of the Creator. As the Universe had a beginning, there shall be an end of it. But the disbelievers turn aside from what they are warned of. Beside why are you ageing? We have not created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them otherwise than in accordance with (an inner) truth, and for a term set (by Us): and yet, they who are bent on denying the truth turn aside from the warning which has been conveyed unto them. [b]46.3 Quran[/b] Reason for creation of rational being [b]And (tell them that) I have not created the invisible beings and men to any end other than that they may (know and) worship Me.Quran[b][/b] Thus, the innermost purpose of the creation of all rational beings is their cognition of the existence of God and, hence, their conscious willingness to conform their own existence to whatever they may perceive of His Will and plan. |
Charlentine:Then humbly call on God, the master of the universe, to guide you. You are on track, pure monotheism requires worshiping your creator not His creation (Sun, Jesus, Mary, tree etc). |
EyeHateGod:My response below 1. @bolded is wrong observation I will, by God grace, make further research on that. 2. When did Pure monotheism of Islam start. Item A below speak to your question. Item A to C also provides good criteria to rationally examine the right religion for true seeker. A. The universally of the message to all men and all times. B. Who coins the name of the religion. Man or God C. Who is the central figure of worship. Creator or His creation A. Islam’ is an Arabic which means ‘submission to the will of God’ and anybody who submits to the will of God is called Muslim in Arabic. It is the same, continuous, universal and eternal message revealed through the ages to all of God’s prophets and messengers. Muslims believe that all of God’s prophets, which include Abraham, Noah, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad, brought the same message of Pure Monotheism. For this reason, the Prophet Muhammad was not the founder of a new religion Central message of all prophets and messengers was for mankind to submit to God’s will.Submission to God requires believing in oneness of Almighty God. Muslims are therefore required to maintain a direct relationship with God, and therefore all intermediaries are absolutely forbidden. B. Islam is not named after a person or a people, nor was it decided by a later generation of man, as in the case of Christianity which was named after Jesus Christ, Buddhism after Gautama Buddha, Confucianism after Confucius, Marxism after Karl Marx, Judaism after the tribe of Judah and Hinduism after the Hindus. This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion. (Quran 5:3) If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to God), never will it be accepted of Him. (Quran 3:85) C Islam demands mankind to strictly worship only God alone, the creator. God is neither equal to His creation nor a part of it, nor is His creation equal to Him or a part of Him. Islam calls man away from worship of creation(like Sun, moon, star, Jesus, saint, marry etc) and invites him to worship only his Creator. He is the only one deserving of man’s worship, because it is only by His will that prayers are answered. Thus Quran stated that Jesus never ask mankind to worship him. For we assuredly sent amongst every people a prophet, with the command Worship Me and avoid false Gods. (Quran 16:36) And behold! Allah will say: ‘O Jesus, the son of Mary! Did you say to men, worship me and my mother as gods besides Allah?, He will say: “Glory to you, I could never say what I had no right (to say). (Quran 5:118) Nor did Jesus worship himself when he worshipped, but rather he worshipped God. And Jesus was reported in the Gospels to have said, “It is written: [b]‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.’ (Luke 4: ![]() Regards. |
EyeHateGod:That is correct. Arab believed that those personal idols provided the only access to God. Rich Arab can afford to buy more expensive Idols. Howerver, some minority Arab called hanif held on to pure Monotheism as introduced by Abraham to the native. |
dalaman:Linguistically, ‘Allah’ is an Arabic word derived from the contraction of ‘AI’ and ‘Ilahi’, meaning ‘the God’, or by implication ‘the One God’. Like in other Semitic language ‘Allah’ or ‘Al-Ilahi'' is related to the Hebrew ‘EI’, meaning ‘God’ (Toombs LE 1971), and ‘El-Elohim’, meaning ‘God of Gods’ or ‘the God’ Beavin EL 1971). This basic similarity between the Arabic ‘Al-Ilahi’, of which ‘Allah’ is a contraction, and the Hebrew ‘El-Elohim’ can be seen even more clearly when one considers the Arabic and Hebrew alphabets. Neither Arabic nor Hebrew have letters for vowels. Both languages have alphabets consisting only of consonants, and both rely on vowel markings, typically found only in formal writing, as a pronunciation guide. The English transliteration of the Arabic ‘Al-Ilahi’ and of the Hebrew ‘ElElohim’ have included these vowel markings. If one were to remove the English transliteration of these vowel markings, the Arabic becomes ‘AIIlh’ and the Hebrew becomes ‘El-Elhm’. If one were to remove the plural of respect, which is found only in the Hebrew, the Arabic remains ‘AIIlh’, while the Hebrew becomes ‘EI-Elh’, Finally, if one were to transliterate all Arabic ‘Alifs’ as ‘a’, and all Hebrew ‘Alifs’ as ‘a’, the Arabic becomes ‘AI-Alh'.' and the Hebrew becomes ‘AI-Alh’. In other words, with the single exception that the Hebrew uses the plural of respect, ‘AIIlahi’, for which ‘Allah’ is a contraction, and ‘El-Elohim’, the Hebrew translated as ‘God’ in the English version of the Old Testament. I hope this assist. |
i thank you all for your care and taking your time to explain things to me, this thing has been happening to her since she was little, especially if she sleeps alone and it happens mostly in the afternoon. I asked my mum and she said she used to experience it when she was young and that it is a witch pressing.I kind of doubt if it is witchcraft though. i don't want to believe a witch is after somebodyNext time something like that happen call God, your lord, not Jesus. See the different for yourself. |

EyeHateGod:Who is Allah? Often one hears the Arabic word “Allah” being used in discussions regarding Islam. The word “Allah” is simply the Arabic word for Almighty God, and is the same word used by Arabic speaking Christians and Jews. As a matter of fact, the word Allah was in use far before the word God ever came into existence, since English is a relatively new language. If one were to pick up an Arabic translation of the Bible, one would see the word “Allah” being used where the word “God” is used in English. For instance, Arabic speaking Christians say that Jesus is, according to their canon belief, the Son of Allah. In addition, the Arabic word for Almighty God, “Allah”, is quite similar to the word for God in other Semitic languages. For example, the Hebrew word for God is “Elah”. For various reasons, some non-muslims mistakenly believe that muslims worship a different God than the God of Moses and Abraham and Jesus. This is certainly not the case, since the Pure Monotheism of Islam calls all people to the worship of the God of Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and all the other prophets, peace be upon them. Even before Islam, If you ask an ignorant Arab who is the creator of heaven and Earth, he will surely say Allah as alluded to in the Quran. |

GrizzlyBear: [/code][code]......world and everything in it exists solely for the manifestation and fulfillment of their beliefs[/b][i]. This I believes allude to Christian idea that everything that exist right from earth creation to Adam committing Sin and series of events that followed that was sort of preparing Jesus arrival. Islam position is that Adam sought forgiveness from His Lord and was forgiving. When Adam and Eve realized that they have disobeyed God by eating the fruit they called: "They said:'Our Lord we have wronged ourselves souls. If You forgive us not and bestow not upon us Your Mercy, we shall certainly be of the losers' " (Quran 7:23) And God accepts their plea:".. Thus did Adam disobey his Lord, so he went Astray. Then his Lord chose him, and turned to him with forgiveness, and gave him guidance." (Quran 20:121-122) Islam is a continuation of the message received by previous prophets, such as Noah, Abraham, David, Moses and Jesus, peace be upon them all. The Quran describes that all the prophets taught people to believe in the One God, the Creator. The messengers also instructed them to spend their lives with God-consciousness, doing good deeds and avoiding sins. Moreover, they warned their fellow humans of accountability in the afterlife, a subject which the Quran returns to again and again. [/code][code]Where was God then? Why didn't he show himself to these people then? Why did he have to wait 4000 years to do this? [/i] God has never abandoned mankind. He promised to send guidance to mankind. He said to Adam: Get you down (upon the earth), all of you together, from Paradise, some of you are an enemy to some others. Then, if there comes to you guidance from Me, whoever follows My Guidance shall neither go astray, nor fall into distress and misery.” (Quran 20:123) Some of the messengers sent are: 163 Lo! We inspire thee (Muhammad) as We inspired Noah and the prophets after him, as We inspired Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the tribes, and Jesus and Job and Jonah and Aaron and Solomon, and as we imparted unto David the Psalms; [/code][code]b]creator of the universe decided to show his light only the jews[/b][i] All nations messengers were sent not only to Jews. Quran: 016:036 And verily We have raised in every nation a messenger, (proclaiming): Serve Allah and shun false gods. Then some of them (there were) whom Allah guided, and some of them (there were) upon whom error had just hold. Do but travel in the land and see the nature of the consequence for the deniers! 164 And messengers We have mentioned unto thee before and messengers We have not mentioned unto thee; and Allah spoke directly unto Moses; 165 Messengers of good cheer and off warning, in order that mankind might have no argument against Allah after the messengers. Allah was ever Mighty, Wise. |
sanandreas:Paganism.Run for your life. |
dingbang:Speaking or trying to speak your love one language is actually part of love. Jesus didn't speak English, so speak the language he spoke for his love just like Igbo Lady married to Yoruba. Jesus actually spoke Aramaic a sister language to Arabic, Hebrew and Syriac. |
Ifakiland:Jesus actually spoke Aramiac Language, closely related to Arabic,Hebrew and Syriac. God reveals His message to prophets in their Local Language. However, Aramiac language is extinct so is the original Gospel. Putting Aramiac Language side by side with our local language would have helped to preserve the message as you can always refer back to the original text. Any book translated to another language some subtle meaning is lost. Quran was revealed in Arabic and God promised to preserve the book so that the message can reach all mankind undiluted. Core Quran message is to worship only ONE God and avoid worshiping His creation like Jesus, Sun, Moon, Saint etc. |
PDBonline:Jesus is human being sent by God. He is not God or son of God. Iam responsible for my sin and I seek God forgiveness. Original sin and Trinity are paganism concept. Pray that your creator should guide you. |
Ifexxy:Yes it was edited. Pure Jesus teaching was replaced with Pauline paganism. Huge contradiction in today Bible cannot be credited to Jesus. Paul literally hijacked Christianity. In |
Paul hijacked Christianity. He replaced pure Jesus teaching with paganism. Jesus pure teaching is for mankind to worship only one God, as preached by Mosses, Abraham, Muhammed. Paul teaching include paganistic idea like Trinity, original sin, begotten son and other weird concept that they attributes to mystery. |

Ifexxy:Not specifically addressing 'Islam and Muslim' I feel is the biggest and most obvious omission in the bible. Bible only vaguely address historical perspective of Isaac, Ishmeal and Hagar leaving much to speculation. Like op here. Speculation like Muslim are Satanic, Antichrist, Catholic creation etc abound. Islam is a religion of almost 1.8bn followers and fastest growing religion in the world. By next few centuries, Islam will be the biggest religion on earth. Islam core message is worshing only one God and Abraham, Jesus, Mosses, Muhammad were sent by God to correct mankind. That Jesus is a creation of God not God, or Son or partner in divinity. Century of bible editing left them with weird concept, like Trinity, Original sins, and stories that has no intrinsics value. E.g Jacobs wrestling with God and other absurd stories. |
holatin:He reminded of Commando. A hardened criminal on the walk. |
Alhamdulillah. May Allah guide them and admit them to Paradise. |
NatureBoy91:# Calling Jesus as God, son of God or partner to God is violation of first commandments. |
Dpearlz:In daily transaction 1+1+1=3 In Church 1+1+1=1Mystery. Delusion at its very best. |
Same habit, same con man, same tactics |
It is a shame that FFK was was one time a minister. |

Kalatium:Do not prefer blindness over guidance. |
plappville:Hagar was in misery yet God curse Ismael.. What Ishmael did for God to curse him( innocent child)? Did Ishmael curse also follow his decedent? A just and loving God will not do that. I believe this is one of those fabricated stories that made it into the Bible. Jews committed more atrocities than any nation. Who killed prophet sent by God? Wealth and Nobel is not indication of being blessed. Pharaoh wealth and pyramids, Mosses left no pyramid. Mosses was successful and Pharoah was curse? |
