    Questions about Islam (OP)


    So this is going to be my little thread about Islam.

    If you are not a new member you know I have been jumping in and out of religions.

    But now since people have told me come back and what not, I have decided to "consider it". So I am ok with becoming Muslim. But, I do not believe in everything within it. So can someone be Muslim but not believe in everything?

    Also what if I become Muslim but do not do the daily Fardh acts, Hajj and Ramadhan. What is my destiny?

    Bismillah,

    The definition of a Muslim is one who submits themselves to Allah, their Creator. If you're not willing to submit yourself to Him then you can't be a Muslim. Sawm and Hajj are two of the five pillars of Islam, tbh I don't get why you see them as an issue, they're really quite simple alhamdulillah. You said you visited Makkah before and don't want to got back, perhaps you were too young to experience its beauty. Or Shaytaan is doing waswas and wants to keep you from returning to Bayt Allah.

    Muhammad, like other prophets had miracles too. So why is it so hard to believe in them if you can believe him? Belief in the Prophets is the third pillar of Imaan I believe, so yes, disbelieving in them is a HUGE deal.

    Btw where did your other thread go? About agnostics? What do you define yourself as?

    I am a believer in one God. I have no religion. I believe in the Resurrection and that we will be judged some day.

    Also I said I believe he existed, his prophethood on the otherhand not sure of it.

    Re: Questions about Islam

    It's up to you. Try to think of a way to reconcile with your old self and make a simple decision on what to do next. Maybe that can help. But InshaAllah, HE knows your heart. Trust.

    Strivingfordeen, i too believe you are confused. The Prophets were the ones that informed their peoples of the day of resurrection, the day mankind will be accounted for every single deed. How can you believe in their teachings yet not believe in their existence?

    That wouldn't make sense though, you said you only believe in the "true God". Why would you believe in the teachings of other religions? Are you saying you believe in the God of Islam and Christianity? Do you believe in Allah?

    I believe in One supreme being. I do not believe in a God of any religion right now. I know I have one problem in myself tho. I change alot. One day it's this. The next it could be something else.

    Yes, I get that you apparently have no religion atm but I don't think your problem is belief related, it sounds more like you just want an easy lifestyle. The fact that you're still here on this islamic forum shows that you know deep down that Islam is the one TRUE religion. Which also makes you worry about the punishment of an apostate.

    Have you sincerely prayed for guidance?

    I have prayed for guidance.

    Anyways I have requested my profile to be deleted/closed about an month ago, I guess in a way I am just passing time with my mind, getting some questions answered. Also I am on Christian forums, does it mean I also consider it true. No.

    No offense to anyone

    Guidance to right path shouldn't be taken for granted. It's not granted unless we desperately cry for it before Allah s.w.t. Everlasting Hell fire is before our eyes and if we don't get guidance we'll be thrown in it and the fact is that. Its intensity and magnitude is unbearable.May Allah swt protect all of us from Hell. Ameen

    Re: Questions about Islam

    If your heart is like a stone then you'll not cry; but if your sincere to be guided, you'll cry. And keep this truth in your mind that God doesn't need to guide you unless you desperately feel its need and beg for it. How long man lives in this transient world?...just for a few decades and then the reality of hereafter will be before eyes. And then each of us will experience it.... I feel pity for your ignorance and arrogance. May Allah swt give you guidance. Ameen

    But what if he just can't cry at all??

    I am pretty sure Allah can guide whomever He wills. I wanted guidance and asked for it.. yes I did cry.. but there are hearts that can't cry but fall flat in fear of Allah etc..

    Idk... Just saying, if you are sincere, whether you cry or not, you will get guided. Ask for it.

    Talk with God, StrivingforDeen, ask Him whatever questions you have.. clear your doubts.. ask Him.. Search.. ask.. search.. ask... Rince and repeat.
