1. Heaven and Hell, Does one need Allah in there lifes to go to heaven because I think in the Koran it sais that Allah sent the Christian Scriptures and also why saves someone from Hell is it Faith or Works?
|
I will make this brief and say it is just my opinion, astagfirullah
I believe the only way I can get to heaven is through the mercy and forgiveness of God(swt) I can not earn it I can only ask forgiveness and show my desire to repent for my sins and future sins is by doing my best to submit to the will of God(swt)
There is but one God(swt) no matter what name you call Him. The same Allaah(swt) sent his message to all people and for all times.The message was the same be it sent to Muslim, Christian, Jew or Sabian. We all recognise the prophets(PBUT) Just slightly different pronunciation of the names.

2. Denominations, Shiite, Sunni, I dont know how to phrase this question but ill try: Witch Muslim denomination is based on the teaching of the Koran?
|
A Shiite, Sunni, Salafi, Sufi etc are each just as much Muslim as any other Muslim. There are no denominations in Islam, but a few of us get a bit ruffled over political and national differences.

3. To convert does one need to attend any ceremony or anything to approve the conversion?
|
One need only say the Shadah with sincerity and knowledge of what it means. No witnesses, contracts, signature, ceremony required. It is between the individual and God(swt).
I takes a few seconds to become a Muslim, but a lifetime to be one.

4. Isreal, Who's land is it?
|
God's(swt) Allaah(swt) alone owns and is the supreme Maliki of this place we call earth.

5. Jesus, What are you positions on Him?
|
I love Him deeply for leading me to Islam. He is one of the most loved of all the Prophets(PBUH) and I Thank Allaah(swt) for letting me read the words of Jesus(as) (Eesa). If I had not been a Christian, it is possible I never would have submitted to the will of Allaah(swt).

6. Movies and Video games is one entitled to play watch Violent Movies/video Games?
|
Again I will only express my opinion. Seeing as how Islam requires us to be non-aggressive, I shun such things and do not permit them for my Grand Children.

Thanks for you time I hope to learn about Islam so if you could give me the basic teaching I would appreciate it.
Thanks.
