Just to clarify, most Christians do not believe the world is 4,000 years old. That is not doctrine and never has been. Some fundamentalist Christians take that stance, but it isn't based on anything scriptural.

Whilst it may be true that my brain does not function at the high capacity of my fellow posters , my question was about the young earth theory.

I was still wondering if any one in this forum believed, as do many fundamentalist Christians, in the young earth philosophy ie That the earth is about 4500 years old as explained in the christian bible and as taught in many Independent Christian Schools and ( in US of America) government schools to thousands of young students.The number of persons who believe is hard to accurately count but it would be many thousands of people .

If you don't then thats ok , if you do then thas ok as well , their all good theories.

Why should not I believe in Islam which is extremely scientific Religion?.The science ,till yesterday, did not believe that procreation is possible without mating male and female.(Now cloning has proved this concept wrong).But Islam declared 1500 yr ago that "Procreation is possible without mating male and female and produced the example of Jesus Christ PBUH" and Allah called its "Kalimatullah = Law of nature ".
What science is discovering today Allah told us centuries ago.

What else did he tell us , for example about , killing men in wheel chairs or disfiguring women who have done nothing wrong in the eyes of GOD .

Does he condone these regular practices . And if not what happens to perpetrators of such brave and honorable deeds

I don't know about you, but Muslims certainly don't think murder and mutilation of innocent people are 'brave and honorable deeds'.

Murder is punishable by the death penalty and I don't know what the punishment for mutilation is, though I imagine it wouldn't be light.

Honestly now, there is no need for you to take such a condescending tone.

Well only Islam fully contains intructions needed for mankind to deal with every aspect of life - from, birth, death, marriage, divorce, business, social/spiritual/physical/sexual matters and so on. These instructions are beneficial not only to the individual or society but also to the welfare of our planet.

Look at the hindu practice of cremating bodies. Burning one body requires 880lbs of wood. According to some estimates funeral pyres strip the country of more than 50 million trees annually. The left-over burned body parts are dumped into rivers adding toxicity to already polluted water; not forgetting the carbon dioxide that released into the atmosphere from burning funeral pyres.

Now look at the instructions upon the death of a muslim - Read funeral rites and bury body wrapped in sheet of cotton cloth and you're done. Both naturally disintegrate causing no harm to the environment. How economical and environmentally friendly is that?

That was just a small example.. but speaks volumes to those who listen. I follow Islam and claim it to be the true religion because it's logical in all matters, it's guidence doesn't leave one wondering, it's fair in it's punishments, it instructs how to avoid harm at all levels in all aspects of life and gives instructions on how to live in harmony with ppl of other faiths, it's the be all and end all. The complete instruction manual from the Creator. Why would I not favour it over some corrupt old instructions that cannot help me in any way at all?



Peace.

Perfect answer

Signs? As if you have proof that God doesn't exist hmmmm. We don't expect you to see any sign except if Allah wills. That's because your inability to see is the blindness that has already been mentioned in the Quran.

Truthfully, please don't think that your disbelief bothers us in the slightest. We worry too much about our own end.

With regards to signs, you must be specific. You all should know by now: ask a silly question, get a silly answer.

Surah 3 Verse 176

I honestly don't understand what you mean. That verse is pretty self explanatory. The way I understand it is: don't worry about those who become disbelievers (and begin attacking Islam) - they cannot harm God. Instead, they themselves will be punished in the hereafter.

If you are simply nit picking at ayats then I really do wonder why you have chosen such a concise ayat. I do also believe that in verse 177 (the verse immediately after the one you posted) clarifies my opinion. Also, verse 178 further explains it AND shows logic and holiness.

Perhaps you don't understand how the Quran works. Surahs are like chapters and ayats are like sentences. Rukoos are like paragraphs which contain ayats (sentences) that relate to one another - you can't just simply hand pick an ayat from random and say it lacks logic/holiness etc. Also, if you are going to take the time to find that ayat, at least read the verses in the same paragraph/rukoo.

Logical, holy, and other reason would be that you refused to accept and believe and worship God in this life, so face the consequences of following your desires and remaining blind!!

That' the question; if they have done no harm and done no wrong why the punishment; what would be the purpose of it .

Walaikumsalam Muslimah_Sis,

Out of curiosity, when was a human beings given the ability to judge who Allah wills to show the true path and leave blind?

Why do I believe Islam is the only true religion? Simple. That's because I believe in Islam, and part of believing in Islam is to believe that Islam is the true religion
