I AM AGAINST RAPE BUT WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MARRYING AN UNDERAGE GIRL WHOSE SEXUAL ORGANS NOT FULLY DEVELOPED AND RAPING


WHAT ABOUT THE SPOILS FROM WAR THAT WAS CONVERTED TO THE PROPHETS INHERITANCE INCLUDING WOMEN ALREADY MARRIED TO OTHER MEN

UP NORTH FOR EXAMPLE, CHILDREN OF THE RICH DRESSED TO KILL BUT OF THE POOR ARE COMPELLED TO WEAR A LONG MASQURADE-LIKE TOGA ALL IN THE NAME OF RELIGIOUS COMFORMITY.

IS THIS A FAIR RELIGION

My friend regarding marrying under age Islam is the only (Deen) Way of life that in its holy book stated that you should not married a Girl, that's not fully mature. If you don't know history go check it up. if you are captured as a spoils of war you are subjected to be Slave you have no right you are property. A Muslim dressed to pleased the Most high not anyone. Rich or Poor it's up to you to submitted your will.

One of those errors in islam is, organising prayers for the dead. Dont you think we should just live our lives in sins and arrange huge sums for those imams after our demise to organise for prayers to ensure we get heaven's ticket? Ritualists will have enough money to secure heaven if those prayers work. Meanwhile shahada doesn't mean believing as you wanted us to think. believing in what? You need to spell it out. Shahada means believing in oneness of God and the acceptance of Muhammad as God's prophet. Did Jesus know anyone called mohammed, let alone accepting him? Dont play taqiyya on me bro. Shahada is not complete without accepting mohammed as a God's prophet, so telling us Jesus preached shahada is a blatant lie. So i will like us to shun stories and will like you to answer question one after the other.

* Islam allows Taqiyya (deceiving people to gain advantage) . Do you think a true God would allow this or call himself best of deceivers?

bro all that you mention are part of shahada(believing).you can't perfectly believe in oneness of the most high until you believe in Muhammad Is his messenger and shahada is an Arabic word. Prayers will help you, But it have conditions. If you are a man of common sense, how can someone make you believe something without you thinking, before accepting. You just asking questions I'm trying my best to see I answer, you believe what you want to believe If you have any questions about Islam asked a muslim. It's his duty to answer. May the Lord of mercy reward you for asking about Islam.

My brother, the emboldened defines islam - uncertainty. Mohammed was also unsure of what would happen to him on the day of judgement. Quran 46:9. He rather asked muslims to pray for him, even in the grave. Compared to Jesus who even the said-allah raised to himself and would come back on the judgement day. It's obvious who to follow and who not to. I will still want you to answer the questions asked without telling stories. If you are a follower of Jesus, you must follow his instructions as written in the bible and shahada is not what he preached.

Salam brother a prayer is what you need after you pass away, nobody will enter the kingdom of the most merciful, without his mercy. He guided you when you are Ignorant, he choose you not because you are the best it's just out of love. He feed you, clothed you made animal and fruit for you to satisfy your need, prophet Muhammad S.A.W was promised the kingdom of heaven by his lord but he is here to teach and left examples for those to come after him, and he is in need of the prayers because it made wonders and after that you will pray for his all nations you included and does after and before you because that is our weapon to help does in need of it everyday trillions of muslims pray before you and after you, until it remains only one remain. I'm sorry my brother If the most high raised you didn't means you are granted the garden, it only means I have a plan for you. Ibliss (lucifer) was so pious among his creation that the most high raised him up and at the heavens he made a legendary mistake and never till this day asked for forgiveness. Jesus A.S teach (shahada)it means believing. If he didn't why did you believe in him. That means you are following a man, that tells you not to believe in him. I don't know which Jesus you are talking about. But the Jesus I know, that is his only mission, believe in one father, his father and your father and the father of the universe. Why can't you leave the bible and follow the old testament. I can't follow the bible and left Qur'an, because it's the last testament and I am from the last generation you know everything is updating

Are you saying I can be a Muslim without observing the 5 pillars of Islam? Without believing in Mohammed ? This Jesus Christ didn't do , yet you guys believe he's a Muslim. So funny. It's obvious you can't handle this issue no more. Nasara are Christians as confirmed by you, Christians are followers of Christ. You can't call yourself a follower of Christ when you don't believe in his words as quoted in the scripture . In fact since muslims don't agree he was God who came as human, you are just like the Jews who were angry with him for putting himself as God and accused him of blasphemy. Bro , you are not a follower of Jesus. So back to the quranic verse, the supremacy lines are for Christians (nasara) not unbelievers like you.

Salam brother the act of been a muslim is different with the meaning, you can't be a muslim now without the proper guidance 1. You have to believe in one lord of the universe and you can not do that unless you agreed that 2. The one that tell you is his messenger, whom was by name prophet Muhammad S.A.W, and to establish pray, and give in charity. I just tell you the meaning of Islam at the time of prophet Muhammad S.A.W. at the time of Jesus A.S maybe the pillars at his time will be 1. To believe in one provider of life 2. To believe he too was sent by the most high with a new testament. 3. To believe that his mother was virgin and pure and he was just a word of Allah that command things to be and it be as he wills. To believed in the noble spirit of the most high that was sent to him and his mother and the other messengers before him. To keep the commandment and established prayers and give in charity. If you observe the children of Israel at that time don't believe he is a messenger, talkless of him to be the creator, they mock him saying his mother commit adultery to get birth to him how can he be a messenger and how can the most high choose to speak through him, after all the best noble family they have, the most high choose him, they said even If he will send another prophet he will come from the noble family not through him, they have a hard time accepting and believing in his message, so they asked for a sing as in miracle, since they heard Moses came with a sing as in miracle before he came with a new revelation after they forget their old revelation. So Jesus A.S made a miracle after miracle, but they disbelief more. I tell you christens is just a religion meaning a sect out of what Jesus A.S brought for example in Islam their is a religion call shi'at it been in existence after the prophet died.

After the Persians joined islam. Like you Romans. At that time we defected the Persians and they revert to islam,while the Romans defect islam at that time of Jesus A.S and after that joined the Deen

I only quoted this, because your earlier post answered zilch but this one tried but failed woefully as expected. Do you know the Arabic word used for followers of Jesus, in your Quran?. Are you telling me the ' nasara' are Muslim's? Come on, don't use taqqiya bro. Followers of Christ are Christians (nasara) not Muslims. You shouldn't have lied.

may the Lord of mercy, the creator of the heavens blessed your soul. nasara are "Christians" and "Jews" are alyahood, my brother you misunderstood the meaning of muslim, basically a muslim is someone that totally summit his will to the will of the creator. At the time of Jesus(may peace and blessings of the most high, continously be with him A.S) if theirs any one that summit his will to the will of the creator which are don't & do and follow it and believe in it, after the creator blessed him with free will to choose, an he choose to worship him, in Arabic they will call him a muslim. We believe the message of all the messengers of the most merciful are the same which is their is one lord you should worship him, and only him without associating him with any partner cause he don't need any and they will show you how to do the worship. Nasara are group of people that come together and made a religion best on their personal interest and call themselves christens. In a way of the most high their is no division it's a straight path that is why everyday we asked him for guidance to the straight path they are not the followers of Jesus, tell me did they keep the sabbath day, did they follow the ten commandment, since you are a man of truth go and seek the truth and see, if they pray the way Jesus and his disciples pray. My brother Romans mixed islam with their paganism in their attempt to make it easy for the new covert, like worshipping in Sun-day,celebrating of birthday of their God son , believing that God had a son, dancing and music, act of adultery which are barbaric and they don't want to leave it so they combine for their personal gain . Brother this world is designed to break you, that is the test you must follow the way of life your creator design for you if you want to succeeded. That is why the one whom we believe was sent by the most high Muhammad s.a.w said this world is a prison to a true believer while it's a garden of enjoyment for a disbeliever, because as a believer you want to do things but they give you a warning don't do it. But a disbeliever has no rules, YOLO you only live one's. so they believe they are here to enjoy the little life they have.

Amen

see what the Qur'an said "O Jesus, indeed I will take you and raise you to Myself and purify you from those who disbelieve and make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve until the Day of Resurrection. Muslims believe and the Lord make them superior and elevated them check the Muslims concur of the world. Check the history of the moors and many more just wake up and see the truth

You need to read surah 3:55 and switch. "O Jesus, indeed I will take you and raise you to Myself and purify you from those who disbelieve and make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve until the Day of Resurrection.

"And we have sent no messenger but with the language of his people, that he might make (the message) clear for them." Quran 14:4



According to Quran, only God can give life to creatures. It was written in your books that Jesus created a bird from mud. Dont you think, the christians are right to call Jesus, God? No one else , whether dead or alive did this. Quran 3:49. You can clarify those replies i gave your brothers above too.

This is one of those stuffs mohammed said, that made no sense. Where did he see Jesus? If you read haddith with open mind, you will be disappointed. Thats why quran forbids muslims from asking questions on some stuffs that are senseless. This is taqqiya (deceiving people to win them to allah) in action, which is allowed in islam. Imagine, he forbids visitors from waiting , discussing or asking questions from him in his house after eating, because of his wives. Back to the question, can human being gives life? You fail to answer. This is an act of creation, exclusive to only the creator, not humans like me and you or mohammed. There's a reason no one else did this before and after Jesus. Meanwhile, Mohammed was only sent to the arabs acccording to your quran. That's where it stops.

I understand what you mean, but surely it's not Islam you are talking about. Maybe it's shi'a or something, but the real islam want us to think and reflect before we do an action, because in many ayyah in Qur'an the most high used to asked us why don't you think. Islam was built in thinking from our grandfather Ibrahim, and to your question we believe the creator of time take his servant to him on a journey and he meet most all the messengers of the creator, but it's not of you to believe' but in Islam we believe the creator can do anything he want he even said Moses was the blackest of all the messengers because most of the messengers came out of black race. And a creation can't give life to anything,can't divided an ocean or a sea with a stick, and he can't know a flood that will destroy all humanity and build an ark and went to the jungle and bring two sets of every animal in the jungle, all of this and many more are done by the permission of the creator. Muhammad was send to all of humanity, Jesus was sent to the lost ship of Israel whom some are still living in west of Africa the greatest miracle that you can have in this time is knowledge and light in your life all are in a book that your lord send.

my brother Jesus give life to bird,raise dead man to life, speak when he is a baby and many more miracles. but with the permission of his father. I once had that Jesus himself said in the bible that him himself can't do anything without the permission of his father. What you don't know is that we know a messenger that made a mountain pregnant and get birth to a camel. Moses you know his miracle. The most high made all this miracles to make you believe not to disbelieve. I wish you follow the way of life of Jesus and forget does that call themselves christens. And Muhammad whom we believe him as a messenger said he saw Jesus and he is a black man not white.

Are you sure you have read quran and hadiths comprehensively? I have some salient questions begging for answers.

brother what is the questions please

May peace and blessings of the Lord of the universe be with you, you are a practicing Muslim as you said but Islam supposed to be your way of life (dean). And let me remain you Islam is not a religion, it's the total summition of your will to the way of the will which your lord (master of mankind and the unseen kind) wish and want. Which he sent guidance and directions through his messengers with hope as you know the likes of Adam, Idris, Noah, Sulaiman, David, Moses, luckman, isah,(Jesus) as some like to call him with, and the others. You and her have some differences both of you believe all the rest of the messengers with exception of Jesus are all messengers but you all believe before the coming of Jesus with his message their is one creator whom deserve to be worship. If you truly love her all you have to do is that prove to her that Jesus didn't come to change the religion of the past that come before him he only came to fulfill and make what's unlawful before him lawful as a sign of love and mercy of the most high to his creation. If she agreed and follow Jesus as his disciples did, you can married her and hopefully show her that after Jesus another messenger came and make the unlawful, lawful now as a sign of mercy from the Lord. If she agreed praise the Lord, and if she don't you did good as she is going to die as a believer not a disbeliever and continue asking for her forgiveness and guidance from your master hopefully she accept. if not, I pray the best to chose to choose for you someone like her or best of her Ameen to the most high. Thank you stay blessed

Happiness Fun and Pleasure
Nouman Ali Khan


Know that the life of this world is but amusement and diversion and adornment and boasting to one another and competition in increase of wealth and children - like the example of a rain whose [resulting] plant growth pleases the tillers; then it dries and you see it turned yellow; then it becomes [scattered] debris. And in the Hereafter is severe punishment and forgiveness from Allah and contentment. And what is the worldly life except the chattels of deception.

In this verse from Sura Hadeed, Allah summarizes the things that most human beings chase after. He says, You better know that the life of this world amounts to nothing more then play and amusment

Needs
Everybody has needs and wants. But when children are born all that they require are needs. The need to be fed, the need for milk, the need to poop, the need to sleep, the need to be washed etc.

First Phase: Play
As they get bigger a want comes into play, so a child of nine months or a year really wants to play. A baby wants to be held, tickled; they don't just sit there and eat their food and go to sleep; they want to play hide and seek and other games.
So the most important thing at that age or phase is play and more play. Leave kids on their own and they will play for the whole day the whole day and the night or until they drop.

Second Phase: Entertainment
After that another phase starts and that's the amusement or entertainment phase. The Arabic word for this is LAHW. These are things which are not forbidden but they have no positive benefit or outcome. They get your mind off other things like work. So now our children don't just want to play but they want entertainment they want to hear stories, they want to watch cartoons or TV shows. So that's another thing added to the arsenal or menu.

The marketing men and software engineers have combined these two things; play and entertainment to come up with really captivating video games combining stories and skill and the biggest consumers of these games are children. A lot of children are spending more time playing computer games than they do learning. Even Muslim children are also buying games way above their level like Grand Theft.

Third Phase: Zeenah
After this phase a new obsession starts and that is described by Allah as zeenah or beautification. So now we are concerned with looks and with image. This usually starts at puberty or the teenage years so you become obsessed with how you look or how you appear to others.

When you were nine or ten you didn't care about your looks; whether your shoes matched or how you got dressed or how anyone else dressed or whether your cousin was wearing better clothes then you. But now that you are thirteen you spend forty minutes in front of the mirror or in the bathroom fixing your hair making sure that each single hair is in its place. Your mum or dad maybe shouting or banging on the door but you are not going to get out until that hair is fixed.
So you may be slapping your head again and again to fix that hair. And if it doesn't go down you down it with a gel or a spray. And if it doesn't go down you pluck it out.
For boys they are worried about growing facial hair so they stand in front of the mirror and see whether one is coming out or not.On their way to the shops or masjid they stop and check themselves out in every cars reflection end its so entertaining especially when they don't know that there's someone in the car.
So beauty becomes a desire at this stage. Now you are all concerned with the image of yourself of your house or your car.
If your dad has a car like an FX or a Mehran or worse still a bike which he will take to the grave with him, so you ask him to drop you two blocks away from the school. You would rather walk then be seen in that thing because you are obsessed with fashion with clothes with looks. Others are concerned with fashion or with iphones. They are not concerned so much with the specifications but with how the phone looks and want to get a jazzy cover for it. And then this phase passes too and a new one sets in.

The Fourth Phase: Competition
Now you are in college or university and no you are no longer so worried about looks. If you see college or university students you would see you their hair are all over the place.

They go to college with un-ironed or torn jeans and sometimes in their pajamas. It seems as if they just came straight out of their bed to college. So they no longer care so much about their looks instead they are concerned about something else; their marks or GPA or grades.

Why? Because a new desire has appeared. This doesn't mean that the old desires are finished. They have taken a back seat.
Now this new desire is more important.
So what were the previous desires is in order 1. Play 2. Entertainment 3. Beauty, and now competition and rivalry or showing off, competing with each other takes center stage. In this phase you want to show your position and status in front of others.
Someone asks you directions for the Convention Center and you say, Yeah and I study at NUST or I am a chemical engineer actually. The guy says, Hey I only asked you for the way to Convention Center not your bio-data. I remember in a parents meeting, I had a couple who came in to see me about their son in Grade 3. The first thing he said was, Im so and so, Im a doctor, my wife here shes a doctor too, her father is a doctor, my grandfather is a doctor etc. The ironic thing was that his son was one of the lousiest pupils in class.

You get a job in a prestigious company and you are itching to tell everyone about it and you are proud to wear the company's dog collar. You get admission in a university in the UK or Australia you make sure that everyone knows this. You get citizenship of Canada or the US you make sure that this comes up in any conversation you have with anyone, even though you may be washing dishes or driving a taxi over there.

This competition thing has gone crazy in Pakistan especially in education. In my days in the 1980s if you did three A-Levels your were considered a top student. Very rarely did anyone do more than three and if they did four they were considered a genius or a nerd. Now we had a guy in Pakistan who did 20 or so A levels; a world record a few years back. We were all proud and amazed. He was interviewed by the BBC and got scholarships from Cambridge University etc. But then after him two or three others have broken even that.
So competing with others becomes the new desire the new goal and the new mission. You get a picture with a famous person and you hang it up in your office or home so that everyone can see it.
So you want to get ahead of others. You wanna be the gold medalist you want to live in the better locality in Defence or Clifton or Bahria Town and you make sure that whoever knows you knows that. For young people it's the car. They want to be in a better and faster car then their mates.
So now this desire of competing is added to the play, the games, the entertainment & beauty. But then even this stage passes you get married and you have kids.

Stage 5 Money and Kids
So now what becomes most uppermost in your mind? Yes it's the kids and life revolves around fulfilling their wants and needs. So questions like do we have enough groceries for tomorrow?, what about their lunch and their water bottles?, are their uniforms ready? who is going to drop them at the tuition centre? become part of the daily conversation. The school fees, the costumes for the school functions, the joggers or football boots occupy more of your mind. The apartment starts to shrink so the need for a bigger house appears.

A house is one of the things that everybody wants at this stage no matter where you are and what religion you belong to, only when you get a house do you feel that you have accomplished something.Ask a person who doesn't have a house what they most wanted, and they will say, I wish I owned a property. If they happen to live in an apartment and they drive by a house they are likely to say to themselves, Man I wish I had that, it would be so nice. The mind cant help but wonder about it.
They are going to move to another city in a year or so but the whole family start looking for houses on the net. So it is just a natural desire.

So now there's a mutually shared concern about making money and stabilizing yourself and your family. So you are constantly checking the bank account. You have the SMS alerts and you are on the look for any withdrawals, Oh no the installment for the car I forgot about that. So now Allah stays that people are concerned with the urge to have stability in money and children and you are worried about the future pensions savings weddings and so on.

By the way if you talk to young people about savings and pensions and houses, what are they likely to say?
Oh I don't care about savings, what are you talking about, I'll never be like my parents, I don't care about a house or a pension.

But if you talk to this very guy in twenty years time he will be concerned about the very same things as his parents. The cycle will repeat itself in generation after generation after generation.
Allah summarizes the things we think will make us happy; all of them.

A child things toys and play will make him happy.
An older boy or girl thinks games and playstation will make him or her happy.
A teenager thinks looking good will bring him happiness.
A young man seeks happiness in high grades or in university or in cars.
As an adult they think they will be happy when they have financial stability.

The Second Half
But so far this is only one side of the coin. This is the first part of the verse I quoted at the beginning.
In this half Allah describes the things you and I are running after.

In the second part Allah compares all these things to something.
He compares it to a rain expected by a farmer.. This is where the guidance of Allah about these pursuit of happiness is, so please listen carefully.

He says human pursuit of all the above mentioned things is like rain. It is like heavy rain. The normal Arabic word for rain is matar. But here Allah uses the word gaith. this means perfect rain or the most appropriate rain just right for the crops. If rain is not of the right kind it could spell destruction for the crops or even people. The word for farmer is in Arabic is kafir (pl. kuffar). Kuffar means literally people who bury seeds in the ground.So the example of people who run after worldly things is like the farmer waiting for the rain.

Let us imagine the image which Allah uses. We have a farmer. A farmer has to do a lot of things but what is the most important? The first thing he has to do is to plant the seed, then he has to water it then spray it and protect it from pests etc.
All of these things are important but the first and hardest part is when the farmer plants the seed because at that time he doesn't know whether he will get anything from the seed.
Maybe it's an infected seed, maybe the weather may turn out bad, maybe a pest epidemic may occur. So you just don't know whether you will get any return from this seed and for your labor.

Salaried get paid weekly or monthly but a farmer gets paid when? After one whole year and even that's not certain.
So a farmer puts in weeks or months of effort and then he goes to sleep anxiously and is waiting for the rain and then it rains and its gaith, the perfect rain.

Is he happy or not? You bet he is. He is elated then he starts seeing little dots of green in a feeling of brown.

They are not fully grown alarms but even they are making him super happy then Allah says the plant reaches maturity, so what is the logical next step? To harvest the crops but surprisingly Allah doesn't say that the farmer harvests but instead he say's, The farmer he sees his crops turn yellow!

Now in farming you are supposed to harvest before your crops turn yellow, because once they turn yellow they become useless they, they become a chaff unusable or inedible. The Arabic word for this is HUTAMUN. So instead of reaping his crops for which he had put in so much effort and for which he had waited anxiously, he sees it turn yellow right in front of him.

So let's recap and go back to the beginning. What was the first desire? Play. Let us suppose you take your child to a toy shop and you buy him the Barbie doll or the Xbox which he or she has been asking you for weeks. And he's in the car with his toy which he is not allowed to open until he gets home. How is he likely to be feeling? Like the farmer who sees the rain. He is super happy.He cant wait to open it and play with it. These 20-30 minutes are likely to be the most exciting most happiest moments he is going to have with that toy. Because once he opens it and plays with it for two to three hours, how is he going to feel?His excitement is likely to go down, Oh, it wasn't that great the other one was much better. After a week or two the toy is abandoned under the bed and he's asking or searching for another one.

Allah say's that the farmer before the harvest has similar feelings.

Your sons been asking for Grand Theft Auto, he made prayers in the masjid and he promised to read the Quran or do the morning prayer in the Masjid on the weekend then he got it, and he beat it. What happened then? He lost interest in it.
And he dumped it in his drawer where it got scratched by the nail cutter.

There are people who wait hours and hours in queues to watch the latest movies, once they see it that feeling of joy, of excitement vanishes, Oh it wasn't so great, the special effects werent so good, I expected more, boo!
The car you crave for, the latest model, when you get it and after a year down the line a newer model is released with slanted headlights, what happened to yours which you craved for?
It turned yellow. It became unattractive.

Your house when you first bought it, you gave everybody a tour of it even of the bathrooms the store and the roof, even though people werent interested to see the bathroom or the roof but you gave them a tour because you were excited. But what happened when you visited a few of the neighbors houses which had a bigger living room and imported furniture and the latest Italian kitchen. Your house turned yellow.

Some peoples marriages turn yellow. In the first few weeks of marriage, you are walking on the street and your new wife trips what do you say? Are you okay? I don't want anything ever to happen to you. It's a brand new wife after all! But ten years go by and you are walking on the same street and she trips again. What do you do? You keep walking and keep walking, then you look back and say, Pick yourself up woman what's happening to you I cant even take you out in to the public nowadays. So marriage can turn yellow.

Allah says, all of the things we want so badly, we will end up losing interest in them. And he says in the concluding remark of this verse,
And In The Hereafter There Will Be A Severe Punishment and Forgiveness From Allah and Incredible Contentment.

So at the end is eternal and intense punishment. And that is one thing you will not get used to. You may get used to things the other things in this world, but you will not get used the punishment of Jahannum.
The desires and pain of this world you can get used to it but the pain of hell you will not get used to it.
Then He says, Forgivenes from Allah, that is permanent and Ridwaan. This which means incredible or total contentment. You will not need to look for the next iphone, or car or whatever to satisfy your thirst, you will get contentment there.
In this world whatever it is that you are running after, it will never satisfy you until your bellies are filled with sand. But in Jannah you will be in peace and satisfaction.

In this Sura Allah says, What is the life of this world but mere play and amusement. Meaning that worldy life is nothing but a means of deception for people. Because they think they can find happiness here. But they like the crops for the farmer will see the things like, toys, games, gadgets, entertainment, beauty and money etc. which they were so excited about, turn yellow, and they will feel as empty as before. The only way out of this vicious circle is to turn to Allah and his deen. For truly in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find peace

May Allah help us recognize what true happiness really is and help us reach it through real faith in Him.

Sammy07:
I too have a question about Islam

Muslims said Islam means a religion of peace..

But does Islam means peace or submission or both

in islam you will find peace through submission to God.

monkytail:
I think you know atleast in Nigeria a prince is being addressed a kind but the king is greater.... So Jesus Christ is the son of God(king) so he is also entitled to the power of the king as a son(prince?)


Actually my question about Mohammed is when he wanted to resurrect in the third day like Jesus did, what happened to him??

Muhammad never said he want to resurrected or you have prove he dont believed in Jesus resurrected in third day, why will he want to. after all Muslim dont believed jesus is died talk less of him to be resurrected. And since the father is the king can someone pray to the father directly.

monkytail:
Jesus is the son of God and he is God also.. In the Bible he said I and my father are one..... They are three in one... I see Jesus as God himself....

ok you believed jesus is the son of himself or what. Or you mean jesus is different and God is different or jesus is God that what make his father God. and in Christianity jesus and his father which one is greater because i had someone saying Jesus said in the Bible my father is greater than i. And iam Muslim in you have any question about islam you can asked

monkytail:
Yes they believe... God the Father, God the son and God the Holy spirit.

that use to confused many Muslims, those are names of One God or different being like we use to think Christians don't believed in oneness of God they believed in three because you used to said the father the son and the holy spirit that means three not one but can you explained the difference pls and who is Jesus to you.

monkytail:
There has been a lot of disagreement between the Christians and Islam... I would like us to drop our questions about a particular religion and I believe we will get an answer.... Let's share our views and please no insults as I have some questions to ask too. Thanks

did Christians believed in oneness of God

But i don't understand the concept in Christianity that said God forgive with the dead of Christ his only son. With his blood or their is different kind of forgiveness

cutekhalifa:
Jesus Christ was the fulfillment of the prophecy from God, God promise to send the messiah who will come and redeem the world of it sin by dying for us sinner so we can all live forever in paradise , first of foremost Jesus Christ is not God but his only begotten son his first creation, the reason God chooses to send Jesus to redeem the world from it sin through merry because he knew if Jesus fall from heaven to the earth without parent you and me will never believe him, u will say he is an evil spirit show he brought him through virgin merry so u and me will convince, OK lets look it ways, how can a virgin conceived impossible its only by the grace of God, before merry conceive Jesus Angel Gabriel appeared to her, and told her u are going to give birth to the Messiah, she replied my lord how can u gave birth when I'm still a virgin Angel Gabriel replied by the Grace of God u are going to conceive, Brother Jesus Christ is not God, but true and only begotten son of most high God, he is the way to God,holy spirit are God acting force, for instant , u are Jesus and ur father is the god, and it happens that i want to ask ur father a favour, I will first approach you the Jesus then u will take the message to your father the god for an approval, Jesus is not God but his first creation, that's why we often use this phrase before Abraham the father of Christian and Islam Jesus was... I hope I have answer your questions

one more question please did you believed God has ultimate power over every thing, if yes then did you think God need assistant to know your problem and solved them if you asked him to do so. And people at the time of Abraham and moses if praying to God are they asking jesus to asked the most high to answer their prayers. Please why did the God in Christianity don't just forgive our sin without us paying for it with the blood of his son. Before i used to think God is the Almighty,he is not week, want you to asked him and he shall answer, just asked he shall forgive. Sent and guide some messages and prophet to reminded you of his existence and warn you of his punishment if your don't obey his command and he created you to worship him with your own free will that he gave.

cutekhalifa:
Jesus is the first and only begotten son of God.... Jesus is not God but his son, the doctrine of Trinity explains God the father:- the head of the organization God the son:- Jesus Christ the door that leads to God, and God the holy spirit the acting force, the angels... therefore they are 3in1 body... Jesus is the first creation of God... in Genesis when God says come let create man on our own image who do u think he is referring to point of corrections Jesus is not God but his first creation

My question is please how many God did you believed in and i never understand that three in one concept. In islam. In creation of human being the most high is talking to his creation the Angel's as he is going to create human being and they said are you going to create one that is going to disobeyed you again, because we believed jinn's are in this world before and they disobeyed Allah and he destroy them whom the devil is among them. The most high said i know something thay you don't know. And he create Adam and hauwa and so on. Isah the son of Merry in islam is called the word of Allah cause the most high if he said be then it most be as he used in the creation of the world. When the Angel visited merry he said to her you are going to be get pregnant and she said how, no man has ever come near me and I am not married, but the angel said it's the decree of your lord if he said be then it most be that. Is isah the son of Merry(Jesus)

Sanchez01:
The bonded is not really true. They indeed love Him as a prophet. That's where their belief ends. Should they go beyond that, they would unconsciously accept Him as Lord. Islamic debates overtime states that Jesus truly died but was resuscitated instead of the Christian belief of resurrection. The implication of accepting His redirection means they acknowledge Him as one who has power over death without knowing it.

Jesus never die in our believed in islam. that's among the reason that he will come back, Because the most high said in Qur'an that every soul shall test died. And if any Muslim tell you that Jesus is died, he is not a Muslim because in Qur'an Allah said it only look to be So. Allah said he either beget or begotten & we can't believed him as lord no matter what. Caused the lord is One. We believed Jesus is the word of the God cause if the lord said be then it most be. As he did in the Creation of the world and in the process getting birth of isah (the son of Merry) whom you call jesus As the Angel tell her its the decree of her lord And he only said be and it will be.

jnrbayano:
Then you don't know him.

How can you quote the bible selectively? He says he is the only way.

How can you believe in someone without believing all his teachings.?

at his time he is the only way if you don't believed in him among the children of Israel you are not going to the kingdom of the most high , likewise at the time of moses,Abraham, david&Muhammad may peace and blessing of Allah always be with them

undecidedYoruba:
I am not a Sunni Neither am I a Shiite ........


But honestly this is so wrong and should be condemned by all

The Shiites should be allowed to exercise their right to freedom of worship....Being in the Sunni controlled armed forces should not be used as an opportunity to unleash and exterminate others.

Muslims love your selves.....emulate the Christians that have more than a thousand denominations

My brother sunni or shi'ah is not the matter its Nigerian force and shi'ah clash. And dont tell they are not Christian's in Nigerian army. Due the Sunnis are happy someone is telling them a lesson or maybe they will understand and start practicing islam and followed the rules of the land and stop disturbing public peace in the name of their so called islam.

sweetcocoa:
You keep saying "in islam" like that actually means anything, some of islam's doctrines is very bad to be honest and I hope that just soon enough, the world would be rid of it, amin.

Have a good one fellow.

the reasen why i said in islam is because to me it actually means something, to you might be nothing, if i said in islam that means in our rules and regulation our guideline in life. if some of our doctrine is very bad for you thats cool. And to clear about that marriage things islam permit it not force it. We believed in islam that the religion came from the creator and all the laws came from him and pls tell me if i believed in that and said one rule is not ok automatically iam questioning the creator rule whom i believed he created me and know was best for me and know me better than anybody. thank have a good life

sweetcocoa:
You should be very ashamed of yourself for the nonsense you wrote here, your religion permits you to marry a girl that's six years old, like what rubbish is that? Infact, if I talk to you the way I'm feeling eh, I'll get a ban, just carry your barbarism and come and be going.

iam so sorry for addressing you as a man

thanks man the religion is not for you but its perfect for me and thanks for the insult if it use to make you feel better. in islam anyone that sent insult to you is indirectly insulting himself thats why i warn you in the beginning to stop the insult.

sweetcocoa:
And an adult holding hands or hugging someone of the opposite sex will ruin lives but marrying kids below 10 years of age(pedophilia) is the best thing to happen to someone. You people are just very wicked is all, rubbish.

Man that's what iam saying you are not Muslim. right now you are saying indirectly my religion is wicked and all rubbish and it hurt my feelings and if i said that you. You won't feel good that's why i said we need peace. If i respect your religion and abuse you so that you will feel the pain i did, you will said we are intolerant bro please learn about islam if you want to talk about it. So that you dont have hurt somebody's feeling may be you are Christian which i know looking for trouble in any religion is not Good. We are Muslims if you see something is not good for you in it its not by force to join the religion and if you see something bad in it you can change it to one that favour you. Religion is not by force someone dont believe in God. My religion permit me to married a girl that is 6 years old and forbid me to commit(zina) formication in any form hand,eyes&body pls was difficult of that to respect my opinion i choice the religion not you and the rules ard for me not you

She was ban because of public outrage which can cause violence. what some people dont know about Muslims is that we are All one family. Ali nuhu stop acting in that kind of rule in nollywood, he said is because of his people are complaining and rahama sadau acting we are so worry becouse she is our sister and if the acting and her behavior will stay with her alone we will be less worry cause its her life, but that lady stand as a rule model to our sister's they can see it as nothing since rahama sadau do it that's what most of us fear. And we consider female's as week creation of our creator they deserve our protection from anything anywhere from us that we think will harm them. What some people think as civilization that's not what we think its, because we are different people with different faith so stop judging Muslims action by your own common sense calling them backward people by your man visual hausa man said (Ta yaro kyau take batah kargo) man vision have quantity but not quality. please we want peace in this country not to pretend to have some. Other people Will say northern Muslims are not tolerant but why are you trying to force us to act like you people we have our guidelines and our way of life.which we dont have problem with it, we are happy with it but some will said no do this do that inverting every where, do your life and let us do ours if you want her to act like you people let her be with you people before. but for know she is with us and we most called her into order, to know her value and moral as a muslim. We the muslim ummah.
