Where do moslems go after death(I mean the ones that did the will of your Allah)?

What happens to the ones that kept sinning against your Allah till they die, what will your Allah do to them? Do moslems believe in reincarnation, resurrection, hell fire and heaven?

Question 2:
Why do moslems wash their privates before they pray? Does it mean that your Allah will not listen if you didn't wash your privates?

Question:
Is it true that during sexual intercourse, moslem couples are forbidden to see the privates of one another, hence they make love in darkness? if true, why?

Educate me please.

@RedHotChic:

Where do moslems go after death(I mean the ones that did the will of your Allah)?

Paradise: In Arabic its Jannah.

What happens to the ones that kept sinning against your Allah till they die, what will your Allah do to them?

If Allah wills to forgive them or that individual, He will forgive him. If not he will be punished in the fire of hell. Then InshaAllah (God Willing), Allah the All Merciful, All Forgiven will forgive them all, except the hypocrites.

Do moslems believe in reincarnation, resurrection, hell fire and heaven?

We believe in all, except reincarnation. As you know, a person have to be resurrected from death, before he can be Judged, being Mercied to Paradise, or, being condemned to Hellfire.

Question 2:
Why do moslems wash their privates before they pray? Does it mean that your Allah will not listen if you didn't wash your privates?

You don't have to wash your private if nothing is discharged from it. If you break winds, and its not a wet wind, you dont have to wash that place either. We have what we call wudu (ablution), which is washing/cleaning what is external of your body parts. This is to purify you from all kinda filth, if you have discharged anything from the private part that you just washed, or break winds.

As to listening to us by Allah, is the fact that you have to obey your Lord God first, before you can hope to receive His attention. He hears all, we do not want Him to ignore us. Whoever He ignores is already in the clutches of the Evil one. It is not permissable to make things up in Islam. We call that deviation and it definitely lead people to go astray. Unlike other religions, Islam has its own culture and rules. It is not 100% Arabic culture and none of its rules is arabic, but purely 100% Islamic.

Question:
Is it true that during sexual intercourse, moslem couples are forbidden to see the privates of one another, hence they make love in darkness? if true, why?

Muslims are not restricted to making Love at Night, alone. Its anytime that the couple can afford to do it, if they are not fasting, and not in the time that more important obligations is to be discharged. For example, its not permissable for a couple to engage in Love making during the daytime of fasting month, the time of Salah (Islamic prayers). Muslims are forbidden not to have penetration of the anal canal and during the period of menstration. So you see all other is permissable, as long as it excites and enhances their romance. Am sure its not pitch black where you are at 10 am, or at 3.00 pm!

Educate me please.

What are you going to do with the edication that you now have. By the way, we want RedHotChic(s) in Islam. It is not a boring religion, nor the romance with the spouse. We just don't advertise our activities. We are not public offenders. The best lovers for RedHotChic(s) are in Islam.

@RedHotChic: I read the below from Babs787, on a different thread. I thought it will help to clarify things better for you.

Quote:
Quran 5 v 6: O you who believe! When you intend to offer As-Salat (the prayer), wash your faces and your hands (forearms) up to the elbows, rub (by passing wet hands over) your heads, and (wash) your feet up to the ankles. If you are in a state of Janabah ( i.e after a sexual discharge), purify yourselves (bathe your whole body). But if you are ill or on a journey, or any of you comes after answering the call of nature, or you have been in contact with women (i.e sexual intercourse), and you find no water, then perform Tayammum with clean earth and rub therewith your faces and hands. Allah does not want to place you in difficulty, but He wants to purify you, and to complete His favour to you that you may be thankful.

# The superiority of ablution, and Al-Ghurr-Ul-Muhajjalun (the parts of the body of the Muslims washed in ablution will shine on the Day of Resurrection and the Angels will call them by that name) from the traces of ablution

# Narrated Nu’aim Al-Mujmir: Once I went up the roof of the Mosque along with Abu Hurrairah (RA). He performed ablution and said, ‘I heard the prophet (saw) saying, “on the Day of Resurrection, my followers will be called Al-Ghurr-Ul-Muhajjalun from the traces of ablution and whoever can increase the area of his radiance should do so (by performing ablution in the most perfect manner)

# The prophet did not increase the area more than what is washed of the body parts while doing ablution as Allah ordered to be washed in the Quran.

Tayammum: Strike your hands on the earth and then pass the palm of each on the back of the other and then blow off the dust from them and then pass (rub) them on your face.
Unquote.

You will see that God has made everything easy for muslims, within reasons and the means available. The central issue is obedience to God's orders.

You don't have to wash your private if nothing is discharged from it. If you break winds, and its not a wet wind, you don't have to wash that place either. We have what we call wudu (ablution), which is washing/cleaning what is external of your body parts. This is to purify you from all kind of filth, if you have discharged anything from the private part that you just washed, or break winds.

Do you have a time limit because we discharge from our privates everyday. Again, what is the significance of washing the privates afterall God created the privates originally for discharge?

Muslims are not restricted to making Love at Night, alone. Its anytime that the couple can afford to do it, if they are not fasting, and not in the time that more important obligations is to be discharged.

Am sure its not pitch black where you are at 10 am, or at 3.00 pm!

So muslims are allowed to see each others privates during sex?

Give me one good reason why I should dump christianity for Islam and am all yours?

Question:
Can you shed some light on islam and it's concept called Fatwa?

@Redhotchics

Give me one good reason why I should dump christianity for Islam and am all yours?

You must have read lots about the two religion and questions raised with regards to the two religion. Truth stands from falsehood except those than want to deceive themselves. I for one was like you and I have debated all areas in christianity, which they have been using to decieve and lure people into believing that God revealed the religion or Jesus was a christian and stuff like that. If you are really wiling to be a muslim, you and I can discuss issues like deity of Jesus, Sonship of Jesus, his alleged crucifixion/resurrection, dying for christians' sins, being the saviour etc with proof from your bible.

Question:
Can you shed some light on islam and it's concept called Fatwa?

A fatwa is an Islamic religious ruling, a scholarly opinion on a matter of Islamic law.

A fatwa is issued by a recognized religious authority in Islam. But since there is no hierarchical priesthood or anything of the sort in Islam, a fatwa is not necessarily "binding" on the faithful. The people who pronounce these rulings are supposed to be knowledgable, and base their rulings in knowledge and wisdom. They need to supply the evidence from Islamic sources for their opinions, and it is not uncommon for scholars to come to different conclusions regarding the same issue.

As Muslims, we look at the opinion, the reputation of the person giving it, the evidence given to support it, and then decide whether to follow it or not. When there are conflicting opinions issued by different scholars, we compare the evidence and then choose the opinion to which our God-given conscience guides us.

Islamic law is based upon four main sources: the Qu'ran itself, the Sunnah or practices of the Prophet Muhammad; Ijma' or the consensus of Muslim scholars; and Qiyas or new case law decided upon by Shari'ah judges.

So what area do you want us to talk on?

Do you have a time limit because we discharge from our privates everyday. Again, what is the significance of washing the privates afterall God created the privates originally for discharge?

No, there is no time limit. The body waste discharge is considered as filth, therefore one has to clean himself after every discharge. Islam encourages cleanliness and maintenance of good hygiene.

However, most people like to go to the toilet before praying because absolute concentration is required in prayer, and any little discomfort or pressure to discharge something may affect your concentration.

However, most people like to go to the toilet before praying because absolute concentration is required in prayer, and any little discomfort or pressure to discharge something may affect your concentration

So you are not allowed to fart during prayers? What if you mistakenly fart during prayers? do you stop the prayer and clean and start all over again?

Sorry I don't see any deceit in christianity. It's people that are trying so hard to misinterpret th bible besides, you can't claim there are no deseivers in islam, can you?

If you are really wiling to be a muslim, you and I can discuss issues like deity of Jesus, Sonship of Jesus, his alleged crucifixion/resurrection, dying for christians' sins, being the saviour etc with proof from your bible.

I thought the fatwa is related to violence and the concept behind terrorists killing innocent people in the name of religion. There has been occasions i watched Osama declare the fatwa on non muslims.
Again, why is there so much violence in islam? What exactly is the verse in the koran that authorizes moslems to kill non faithfuls in the name of their allah say to warrant the misconception?

So what area do you want us to talk on?

The authority given to moslems to kill unbelievers from their Allah and the reason for Jihad. Shed some light please.

RedHotChic:


So you are not allowed to fart during prayers? What if you mistakenly fart during prayers? do you stop the prayer and clean and start all over again?

yes

yes

Christians fart during prayers and I do that all the time but God has never rejected my prayers because i farted. Is it not the same God that created farting? Why don't moslems eat pork? Whats wrong with pork and what do you do as a moslem if you mistakenly eat one? vomit it and ask your Allah for forgiveness?

Another question:
Mohamad i know is a prophet but how do you involve him in your prayers or do you just read about his exemplary lifestyle? How many wives did he marry? Who are his descendants? Do you make supplications to him during prayers?

As for the fart issue, imma leave that open to those who know more than i do (which isn't alot), pork; if you're still eating it, spit it out, if you've already eaten it, pray for forgiveness. Pork is forbidden for us (haram), just like intoxicants (alchohol, and hard drugs etc), most of the forbidden stuff have something in common, they're harmful to your health (esp. in large quantites)

RedHotChic:

Another question:

Supplications to him during prayers, NO. Read about his lifestyle and try to emulate him, YES (kinda like WWJD stuff), how many wives? shame on me i don't know (since after IRK in sec. skool, i dunno anything again) His descendants? Obscure bloodline as far as i know, if they exist, they're likely not DIRECT, maybe like some cousin branch or so.

@Redhotchic

Sorry I don't see any deceit in christianity. It's people that are trying so hard to misinterpret th bible besides, you can't claim there are no deseivers in islam, can you?

I thought you are here really for a discussion after having read your contributions in romance section . Just give me a verse that I misinterpreted.

Get me the proof asap.

What would you do if I give you proof from your bible?

I found this in a Nigerian Newspaper: The Sun on the Worldwide Web. The Nigerians do produce a good article that is direct to the point, and relevant to this thread. I asked Allah to give abundant of knowledge to good servant of His. Amin

What happens after death?
By Mufti Ebrahim Desai
Friday, July 11, 2008

More Showtime Stories

What happens once you die? Does your soul go straight to Allah (subhaanahu wa ta’ala) to be judged? Do you feel your body go into the grave? When we are put in the grave do we feel the dirt on top of us? Do we feel stiffness in our legs? How long is life in the grave? Please I really need help. I have a fear of after death. Shukran Ilak.

When a person dies, he goes to the world of Barzakh and stays there till Qiyamat (resurrection). The period after your death until Qiyamat is known as Barzakh.
Hazrat Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) quotes Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as saying, “When the corpse (of a Believer) is placed in the grave, he supposes that the sun is setting. When his soul is returned to it, he sits up rubbing his eyes and asks (the angels) to let him alone so that he may offer his prayers.” (Ibn Majah)

It is as if he considers himself alive in the world and tells the angels to leave aside the reckoning because he had to offer his prayers before the prescribed time is over. Obviously a person who is regular in offering his prayers in this life will say so. Those who are slack in offering their prayers must take a lesson from this. Let them think what will become of them if they are put to question suddenly?

According to Hazrat Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said, “When the body is placed in the grave, two angels come to it. They are dark coloured and have blue eyes. One of them is Munkar, the other Nakir. They begin by asking him about the person (sent to them). If he is a Believer, he will say, He is a slave of Allah and His Messenger. I bear witness that no one besides Allah is worthy of worship and that without doubt Muhammad (pbuh) is His slave and Messenger.”

The angels remark ‘we knew you will give this answer.’ His grave will be then extended seventy arms length square.
He is asked to sleep but he wants to go and report his position to his family. They (angels) inform him that once here, no one can return and that he must sleep like a bride whom only her husband can awake. (Thus he remains in the grave peacefully). He will be resurrected on the Day of Resurrection by Allah.
If he is a hypocrite, he will reply I do not know more than what I have heard people say. The angels will say that they knew he would give such a reply. The earth will be directed to squeeze him and he is pressed so that his ribs are broken.

Then, he remains in torment until the Day of Resurrection.” [Tirmizi]
These Ahadith (sayings of the Prophet) tell us that the Believers will be content in the world of Barzakh. They will be full of consciousness. So they will be careful of their prayers and they will not be worried about reckoning. When they realize their good fate, they will wish to pass on the news to their family. They will be eager to face the Day of Resurrection so that they are admitted to Paradise soon. The point is when Allah is compassionate to anyone, he retains his consciousness and Allah inspires him to give the correct answers.

It is stated in Surah Ibrahim: “Allah confirms those who believe with the firm word in the life of this world and in the Hereafter…” (14:27)
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) asked Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) “O Umar what will be your condition when you are placed in the grave? The Munkar and Nakir will come to you. They will be dark skinned and their hair will be very pulling along on the floor. Their voices will be like intense thunder and eyes threatening like lightening. The teeth will be long, digging the ground before them. They will wake you up terrorizing you, the while. Hazrat Umar enquired, “O Messenger of Allah (pbuh), will I be in my senses then as I am now?”
The prophet (pbuh) confirmed to him that he would be in his senses as he was then. Hazrat Umar submitted to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam “O Messenger of Allah, I will manage them.” (Sharah us-Sudur).

The possession of full consciousness will be the result of firm faith and righteousness. If deeds are not righteous, then how will one be in his senses during the reckoning?
It is worth considering that no one will live in this world forever. Life is ephemeral. The comfort of the world is not extraordinary and the afflictions tolerable. The next stage of Barzakh (after death) is going to be very long (until the Day of Resurrection). If a man has not been righteous in this world or has neglected his duties (worship of Allah) and other Articles of Faith, he will be punished at this stage. What will he do then?

We must -all of us- worry about our fate after death. Verily, this world is coming to an end. Life in this world is temporary! Is it not foolish to forgo Salat (prayers) only so that we may sleep a little more? Or to love money so much that we do not pay zakah? And go through a severe torment in the grave (just for a little bit of sleep or money, etc.) Let us do pious deed and keep away from sins so that our period in Barzakh is spent comfortably and on the Day of Resurrection too, we emerge honourably.
May Allah guide us to prepare for the Hereafter. May He preserve us from the punishment of the grave, on the Last Day, and of the Fire. Aameen.
And Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

@RedHotChic:

Give me one good reason why I should dump christianity for Islam and am all yours?

Question:
Can you shed some light on islam and it's concept called Fatwa?

You are all over the places, after your outwardly-sincere looking questions above. You should settle down. You wanted a good hearty discussion, that may bring you good, based on your first question of the two that I quoted. Babs787, has humbly volunteered to participate with you where you will need understanding.

Why not take it, instead of concerning yourself with "farting, and other discharges," at least for now. You will have to agree though, that a cleaner private part is better than a dirty one. That alone should encourage you to at least get involve with Babs787 volunteering effort to meet your challenge, God willing.

My hope is that when you finally get it, when it clicks in your head, you will make a good decision from your heart about the course for the rest of your life. There is no success, except those who God says are successful. Remember that.

So you are not allowed to fart during prayers? What if you mistakenly fart during prayers? do you stop the prayer and clean and start all over again?

You need to be in a state of ablution during prayers, farting nullifies the ablution, therefore you need to perform ablution again.

Look at it this way.
Your creator Has made you from nothing, and given you sustenance. You need to do something to thank Him, or pay tribute to Him. The least you could do is to obey Him and follow the path which He has designed for you.

We are required to be in an enhanced state of purity while praying (salat - not the same as normal supplication). Therefore all you have to do is obey.

However, Allah(SWT) listens to all those that supplicate regardless of their state of purity as long as a person is a muslim.

Whats wrong with pork

Pork prohibition is also found in the Bible:
" The pig also because it is a splitter of the hoof but there is no cud. It is unclean for you. None of their flesh must you eat and carcass you must not touch. "
Deuteronomy 14:8 ( Bible)

" Let him find out which is the best food ( to be had ) , Eat of the best foods We have provided for you . "
( Holy Qur'an 18:19;7:160 )

Abstention from eating pork is a measure to safeguard health.Of all the domestic animals, pig is the most
avaricious, eating anything including human excreta. It is thecradle of harmful germs and parasites. Its meat is carrier of diseases to man, thus making it unfit for human consumption.

CHARACTER OF PIG
All types of animals are lawful to be eaten whether those living on land or in the water except those animals specifically forbidden in the Holy Writings revealed by the Almighty Creator and the sayings of the Prophet with clear and well defined injunctions.
Pig belong to the forbidden animals, and not allowed to be eaten by the believers. Pig eats almost anything dirty and they are very lazy animals. It is the most avaricious of all domestic
animals. Amongst all animals, pig is the cradle of harmful germs. It's meat serves as carrier of diseases to mankind. It is this very reason that made it unfit for human consumption consumption.

DISEASES CAUSED BY PORK

The following lists show germs or parasites that are found in pork and some diseases caused by them. Many of these diseases are contagious while some are proven fatal.This proves that the more science advances the more Islam is shown correct as a religion of God.

PARASITIC DISEASES

a) TRICHINELLA SPIRATIS ( Trichina worms )
It is the most dangerous parasite to man ( Rheumatism and muscular pain). The infected persons shown no symptoms, recovery very slowly some die, some reduced to permanent invalids. No one is immune from this disease and there is no cure.

b) TAENIA SOLIUM ( Pork tape worm )
The worm causes malnourishment of the person leading to anemia, diarrhea, extreme depression melancholia and digestive disturbances. Cysticercosis means that larva enter
the blood stream then settle down in one or more of the vital organs of the body, for example: brain, liver, lungs or spinal cord. They grow and encapsulate, inducing pressure to the system around, resulting in dangerous diseases (diarrhea,digestive disorder, anemia, chronic invalidation).

c) ROUND WORMS
Examples: Ascaris, which may lead to digestive disturbances, appendicitis, obstructive jaundice.

d) HOOK WORMS
Examples:Ancylostomiasis, which may lead to anemia, oedema, heart failure or retarded growth ( mental and physical), tuberculosis, diarrhea and typhoid.

e) SCHITOSOMA JAPONICUM
Bleeding, anemia and other syndromes. If ova are settled in the brain or spinal cord, paralysis and death may occur.

f) PARAGOMINES WESTERMAINI
Infestation leading to bleeding of the lungs ( endenve haemoptysis)

g) PACIOLEPSIS BUSKI
Digestive disturbances leading to persistent diarrhea; generalized oedema.

h) CLONORCHIS SINENSIS
chlonorchiasis-obstructive jaundice, liver enlargement.

i) METASTRONGYLUS APRI
Causes bronchitis, abscess of the lungs.

j) GIGANTHORINCHUS GIGAS
Cause anemia and digestive disorders.

k) BALATITIDIUM COLI
Causes acute dysentery and general weakness.

BACTERIAL DISEASES

1. Tuberculosis
2. Fusiformis necrofurus: causing foot-rot which is very
difficult to heal.
3. Salmonella Cholera suis: causing cholera
4. Paratyphoid
5. Bruceellosis: Acute, sub acute and chronic. It may lead
to permanent disabilities.
6. Swine Erysipelas: causing Erypelas in man.

Viral Diseases
1. Small pox: is was a source of infection to man.
2. Japanese B-encepphalitis: It is the source of infection
3. Influenza, foot mouth disease, gas tro-enteritis of the
new born babies.

Protozoal Diseases : Toxo plasma goundii- It is a very dangerous diseases.A new born baby of an infected woman may die within few days or weeks after delivery. But if he survives he may develop blindness or deafness.In adult chronic exhaustive fever with enlarged liver and spleen may occur. Pneumonia, or celebro- spinal meningitis which may lead to death or madness. The patient may become blind and deaf too.

Fats In Pigs:
Pork contains more fats than other meats. Therefore, people who are fond of pork are more obese than
others. Cholesterol is higher in their blood thus making them more prone to asthereosclerosis cardiovascular accidents and sudden death.

Other Diseases :
Flesh of the pork is hard to digest and may lead to chronic digestive disturbances. Pimples, boils, cysts are
common in pork eaters. These are some of the parasites and diseases found in pork and/ or the skin of pigs and certainly there are many more. There is still no means of killing these parasites, in the tissues, neither has anyone found a method of expelling them, even produced any specific treatment for the
diseases.

what do you do as a moslem if you mistakenly eat one? vomit it and ask your Allah for forgiveness?

I think one doesn't need to vomit. He should seek forgiveness but no one will be punished for what he did by mistake because Allah(SWT) is fair to everyone.

Allah(SWT) knows best.

Mohamad i know is a prophet but how do you involve him in your prayers or do you just read about his exemplary lifestyle?, Do you make supplications to him during prayers?

Muslims supplicate only to Allah(SWT) but we send blessings to the prophet(pbuh) as explained in the prophet's words below:

‘When any one of you prays, let him begin by praising his Lord, then let him send blessings on the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), then let him pray for whatever he wants after that.’
(Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 3477, and Abu Dawood, 1481)

Anyone who supplicates to the prophet has committed a sin so big that he has gone out of islam. This is because the prophet(pbuh) is the best of Allah's creations but only Allah(SWT) has the power to grant requests.

" Nor call on any besides Allah, such can neither profit you, nor hurt you. If you do, then you will surely be one of the zalimun(i.e the polytheist)" (Qur'an 10:106)

, How many wives did he marry? Who are his descendants?,

The beloved prophet(pbuh) had 12 wives, a maximum of 9 at one time because 3 died.

(Hence) no blame whatever attaches to the Prophet for (having done) what God has ordained for him. (Indeed, such was) God’s way with those that have passed away afore-time- and remember that God’s will is always destiny absolute!) (Al-Ahzab 33: 38).
Therefore, do not question his lifestyle because he only did what Allah(SWT) commanded him to do.

Islam makes all people equal before Allah. The only criteria is fearing Allah as He says,
"Lo! The noblest of you in the sight of Allah is the best in conduct. Lo! Allah is Knower, Aware " (Al-Hujurat 49:13).
Therefore his descendants have no special treatment. I don't really know if they exist or not.

Allah knows best

Give me one good reason why I should dump christianity for Islam

Because Islam is the religion God ordained men to follow that they may attain success in the life of the world and the hereafter. Islam, the religion is one that the followers worship God alone and do not engage in idolatry like praying to a pictures or asking another creation, spiritual favour. The Qur'an explains in the highest wisdom what success is. You can check the thread:https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-144474.0.html. It is indeed the word of God, if you can see.
Join the religion of Allah.

Redhotchick, baby what is left to say? nothing! but for you to read and try to understand with an open mind.Look around you and see the wonders of Allah, try to digest without prejudging and I see you coming into Islam by the grace of Allah.

@RedHotchic

Apart from all you might have read in Nairaland, I am willing to start every grey area afresh with you, be it Islam or Christianity. Alhamdulillah, I was once a christian, so debating from that area would not be a problem. Let me know what you want us to discuss be it as a Muslim or as a Christian and I would back it up with verses from Quran, Bible, Hadith or Sunnah Insha Allah.

I raised a thread then on if truly Jesus died for our sins and Alhamdulillah, a brother reverted to Islam and it is not too late for you to accept the religion of Abraham, Isaac, Moses, all the prophets down to Jesus. Below was his response:

Now what, things just keep getting interesting here, I also ask myself this questions but when i ask my pastor all he can tell is "DO WHAT You SEE OTHERS DOING WHETHER IT RIGHT OR WRONG You CAN'T TELL UNTILL THE DAY YOU DIE, THATS WHY WE ARE IN CHURCH" so if it later turn to be contradictive we have another hope to depends on, so can someone please explain this in details befor its too late, peaceout

Finally:

Thanks Babs787 i can you have giving me some chances in life and have clear all my doubt, May the almighty ALLAh bless you and help all those that are bringing the truth to reality.
My thanks to you is: am going to be in my neighbour Mosque this coming friday to repent and embrace ISLAM as part of my life thanks
You can email me at: ousse_b@yahoo.com. Only BABS787

@RedHotchic

hmmm well do you think it came all from your heart to say that?

I raised a thread then on if truly Jesus died for our sins and Alhamdulillah, a brother reverted to Islam and it is not too late for you to accept the religion of Abraham, Isaac, Moses, all the prophets down to Jesus. Below was his response:

How can Abraham, Isaac and moses be moslems when christianity predates islam? Abram, isaac and moses were not even christians. Christianity simply means follower of Christ. That christian brother that wrote that piece is either a non christian claiming to be one on the net or a dormant christian in a blind church. No pastor well rooted in the word of God will tell you that.

hmmm well do you think it came all from your heart to say that?

It really do but am yet to be convinced beyond reasonable doubt.

@RedHotChic:

How can Abraham, Isaac and moses be moslems when christianity predates islam?

So tell us what religion, these people above practiced. Did they have a religion under which the WORSHIPPED God?
Is it Judaism or a form of Islam, since Muslims are known by many other names?

@RedHotChic:

answer your own question, what religion did they practice and pls give us concrete proof.

@Davidylan:

answer your own question, what religion did they practice and please give us concrete proof.

We are going to assume, that, Ibrahim and his son Isiaq practiced the same religion. So I will concentrate mainly on Ibrahim, from the two noble men, being the father whose son followed his footsteps. We therefore see in Surah An Am (The Cattle) Verses 161 and 162, Ibrahim spoke about his life and all his deeds, his Salah and death for the pleasure of his Lord and declaring himself that he was the first in his generation to submit to the will of Allah, as a Muslim.

In Surah Araf (The Height) Verse 143, Musa spoke about himself being the first in his generation as a true believer (Mumini), after he had asked God Almighty to forgive him in showing Mercy in any of his infractions. This is because he ws insisting that he wanted to show Himself to him, since the Children of israel were not even satisfied with all the Miracles wrought, but wanted to see God face to face.

Alhamdulillah, David, I answered your questions. Tackling your assignment was very easy for me. I do not know a great deal in islam. But Allah has helped me. The Greatest Miracle is still here for us to see. Now try to tackle my own assignment for you. Answer the questions, Omo Obanta. Stop begging the quetions. Allah will soften your heart at the right time. All the Bravados mean diddley if there is no true guidance and true Faith. Faith in God Almighty directly.

answer your own question, what religion did they practice and please give us concrete proof.

We are going to assume, that, Ibrahim and his son Isiaq practiced the same religion. So I will concentrate mainly on Ibrahim, from the two noble men, being the father whose footstep his son followed. We therefore see in Surah An Am (The Cattle) Verses 161 and 162, Ibrahim spoke about his life and all his deeds, his Salah and death for the pleasure of his Lord and declaring himself that he was the first in his generation to totally submit himself, to the Will of Allah, as a Muslim.

In Surah Araf (The Height) Verse 143, Musa spoke about himself being the first in his generation as a true believer (Mumini), after he had asked God Almighty to forgive him by showing Mercy on him in any of his infractions. This is because he was insisting that he wanted Allah to show Himself to him, since the Children of Israel were not even satisfied with all the Miracles, including the total destruction of Fir'awun the Tyrant, but wanted to see God face to face.

Alhamdulillah, David, I answered your questions. Tackling your assignment was very easy. I do not have a great deal of Islamic Knowledge. But Allah has helped me. The Greatest Miracle, the Qur'an is still here with us. Now try to tackle my own assignment to you. Answer the questions about your Bible verses going against trinity, Omo Obanta. Stop begging the quetions. Allah will soften your heart at the right time. All the Bravados mean diddley if there is no true guidance to true Faith. Faith in God Almighty directly.

@redhotchic:

Your questions are very much appreciated and I believe you want to know the true faith. I believe Almighty God will guide you if you are truly sincere.

Islam as a religion(way of life) has being in natural existence since day one when Adam was created. Islam means subsmission to the command of Allah (God): obey and you obey. It was the religion practiced by all prophets started from Adam, Nuhu, to Jesus and Muhammad. It was only completed and perfected during the life of prophet muhammad. This is describe in Quran 5:3 “This day I have perfected your religion for you, completed My Favor upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion”.

When we are talking about obligation in Islam, whether cleaning a private part or the likes. At times its sound dogmatic from a lay man reasoning. However, obeying your God is beyond questioning why should I do it. This can be likeining to what happened between Adam & Eve and God. God put them in a garden and told them not to near a particular tree. Can someone tell us what God has to do with tree. God doesn't eat neither has a son nor family that would benefit from yielding fruits of the tree. And moreso, he is capable not allowing anything happen to them if they near it. He just want obedience, and that is Islam Allah want us to practice. In nutshell, total submission to Almighty Allah(SWA) is term ISLAM practice by All prophets.

They include: Adam, Idris (Enoch), Nuh (Noah), Hud (Heber), Salih (Methusaleh), Lut (Lot), Ibrahim (Abraham), Ismail (Ishmael), Ishaq (Isaac), Yaqub (Jacob), Yusuf (Joseph), Shu'aib (Jethro), Ayyub (Job), Dhulkifl (Ezekiel), Musa (Moses), Harun (Aaron), Dawud (David), Sulayman (Solomon), Ilias (Elias), Alyasa (Elisha), Yunus (Jonah), Zakariya (Zachariah), Yahya (John the Baptist), Isa (Jesus) and Muhammad. Peace be upon them all.

That is why we pray thus:

Arabic
Asbahnaa (Amsaynaa) ‘alaa fitratil-Islaam, wa kalimatil-ikhlaas, wa deni nabiyyina
Muhammadin sallalaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, wa ala millati abeena Ibraaheema haneefan wa maa
kaana minal-mushrikeen.

English
We have risen this morning (evening) on the innate nature of Islam, on the world of sincerity, and
on the deen (way of life) of our Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and on the deen of our
forefather Ibrahim who was a Muslim of true faith and was not an idolater.


Islam believe in the messagership of prophet muhammad and those before him, all of them carries the same information allong:

And it was revealed to Muhammad(SAW): “We have sent you inspiration, as We sent it to Noah and the Messengers after him: We sent inspiration to Abraham, Ismail, Issac, Jacob and the Tribes, to Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon, and to David We gave the Psalms.” (Quran 4:163)
Of some messangers we've told you thier stries and some not, ( Qr 4:164)


Now, can we say Jesus was a christian when christianity started after he left. Then, what of Abraham. All do not have any deen or religion or way of life except Islam. Therfore, my sister, this is the clear path which our creator want us to follow. Get to know it better and follow it.

Peace be upon them all.

littleb:
Jethro - sacrificed his daughter to God to pay a vow, is he truly a muslim prophet?
Elijah - went to heaven in a chariot of fire and heard a still small voice, is he also a muslim prophet?
Elisha - His bones resurrected the dead, is he a muslim prophet?
John the baptist - prophesied the coming of Christ and baptised pple with water, is water baptism an islamic rite?

My dear, it goes beyond merely copying names from the bible and claiming them to be prophets, were are the stories of these "prophets" IN YOUR QURAN?
