It is narrated that, the Prophet SAW said:
"The[b] life of this world[/b] compared to the hereafter [/b]is as if one of you were to put his finger in the ocean and take it out again then compare the [b]water that remains on his finger to the water that remains in the ocean.

[Sahih Muslim]

Bukhari Volume 8, Book 76, Number 424:

Narrated Sahl:

I heard the Prophet (saw) saying,
"A (small) place equal to an area occupied by a whip[b] in Paradise [/b]is better than the (whole) world and whatever is in it; and
an undertaking (journey) in the forenoon or in the afternoon for Allah's Cause, is better than the whole world and whatever is in it."

It was al-Fudail [ibn 'Iyad at-Talaqani] (rahimahullah) who said:

"To neglect one's religious practice[b] for the sake of other people[/b] is a form of hypocrisy [riya'].
To perform [/b]one's religious practice[b] for the sake of other peopl[/b]e is a form of [b]polytheistic idolatry [shirk].
As for sincere devotion [ikhlas],
it is being afraid that Allah might chastise you for either of these two offenses."

'Abdullah ibn 'Umar said,
"The pleasure of the Lord lies in the pleasure of the Parent.
The anger of the Lord [/b]lies in the [b]anger of the Parent."

[Adab al mufrad Bukhari]

"When Allah tests you, it is never [/b]intended to destroy you.
When He[b] removes something in your possession, it is only in order to empty your hands for an even greater gift."

{Ibn al-Qayyim rahimahullah}

It is narrated that, The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:

"If anyone[b] continually asks pardon[/b], Allah will appoint for him a way out [/b]of every distress, and [b]a relief [/b]from every anxiety, and [b]will provide for him from where he did not reckon."

[Abu Dawud Book 8, Number 1513]


Lets ask for pardon 'astaghfirullah, astaghfirullah, '

"Seek the love of your Creator, and He will place in the hearts of the creation the[b] love for you[/b]" -Shaykh Muhammad al-Arifi

Abu Walid reported that he heard Sayyidah Hawlah bint Qays (RA) wife of Sayyidina Hamzah ibn Abdul Muttalib says that she heard Allah’s Messenger (SAW) say, “Surely, this wealth is green and sweet. He, who gets it rightfully, there is[b] blessing[/b] in it for him.
And there is many an encroacher in it desiring for himself from the wealth of Allah and His Messenger (SAW) but there is nothing for him on the Day of Resurrection but the Fire.”

[Ahmed 27386, Bukhari 3118]

Bismillahir-rehmanir-raheem. In the name of Allah the most Gracious, the most Merciful.

Indeed, Allah is not timid to present an example - that of a mosquito or what is smaller than it.
And those who have believed know that it is the truth from their Lord.
But as for those who disbelieve, they say, "What did Allah intend by this as an example?"
He misleads many thereby and guides many thereby.
And He misleads not except the defiantly disobedient (Quran 2:26)


May Allah guide us All in the right path,
Save us from our Heedlessness,
You are the only One who can forgive, So forgive our mistakes and shortcomings,
You are the Most Merciful, Show Mercy on us,
Make us realize the truth and give us the ability to follow it.
You are our Sustainer and the Best Disposer of our Affairs.
Ameen.

Nice one.

I like your taking the logical approach.

Now lets assume your metamophoric analogy is correct,who will Allah (the manufacturer) punish? Me or my soul ?

Imagine the world was created lets say 10,000 years ago,Allah only revealed his word Quran 1,400 years ago ?

What happened to all the people that lived before Allah's prophet came? And how come Allah cannot send any other prophet again?

I repeat again - Allah's prophet was sent to Allah's people- Arabs.

Olodumare's prophets were sent to Olodumare's people ditto Krishna,Buddha,Vishnu etc.

Stop swallowing the arab line hook,line & sinker.

Wake up !

Islam has nothing to do with Arabic culture. The Arabic culture when the Prophet Muhammad (saw) started preaching the message of Allah was different. The Arabs were full of drunkards at that time, and indulged in ignorant practices such as female infanticide etc. Its with the coming of Islam the Arabs reformed within 2 decades and the people of Arabia changed to Islamic culture which was new to them. So the Islamic culture has absolutely no relation with the original Arabic culture.

Here again you assumed Islam started with Prophet Muhammad (May peace be upon him). Well he is the last of the Prophets. As Sweetnecta already mentioned there were lots of prophets before Him. The first man Adam(as) is the first Prophet. He relayed the Message of Allah to his children and their progeny. Some of the main Prophets were Nuh(noah)(as), Ibrahim(Abraham)(as), Isa(Jesus)(as).

The Quran address all of mankind not just Arabs. Thats why you will notice that in the Quran Allah says 'O children of Adam' when he addresses to us. So its meant for whole of Mankind. Also It is specified in the Quran:-

"Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds: (The Noble Quran, 81:27)"

I hope you get the point. If you learn more about it, you will realize the how you misunderstood.

Who created this logic ?

If my computer or car refuses to work,will I blame the computer or its manufacturer ? 

The more you try to convince yourself Im sure you're seeing how untenable these your suggestions are.

If you're scared about what people around you will think,don't worry- you can keep it to yourself. 

No brother I m not scared about what people around think about me or Islam. Allah knows the truth, and only that matters. Intention is very important in Islam. Lots of good deeds with wrong intention is negligible compared to a small deed with the right intention.

You also assumed that Muslims treat Non-Muslims in a denigrating manner. That happens with only fanatics. Its not true in most of the cases. I ve both Muslim and Non-Muslim friends. Well I just came back home after going out with 2 of my very close friends, One was a Muslim and other a Non-Muslim. We know each other for 11years. Do you think if I were to treat him badly we would be friends for more than a decade?

Also what i mentioned are not assumptions bro, Its from the Quran. Its what Allah revealed as a mercy and guidance to all humans. Accept or reject it, the truth will not change. Don't you think we should be atleast 'try' to be grateful to our Creator?

If it is not too hard for you, please try to think about it with a more open mind. Let it free, try to learn as much as possible(from the right sources), look at different perspectives, contemplate and only then conclude.

Ameen please keep posting these things brother inshaAllah we all increase our Iman.
