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?
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.
I usually ask God to guide me to the truth. That's really all I do. I don't cry tho. I might have asked God to guide me and then say that somehow make me accept it. God knows how my mind works so I believe he can do it if he wants.
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
Of course I want Gods guidance. Now crying would be hard.
“Allah Ta`ala loves abdiyat(total obedience and submission- the quality of being a slave). A woman holding the hand of her child came to Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and said: “O Rasulullah! I cannot bear to throw this child in the fire. Will Allah Ta`ala assign His servants to the Fire?” Hearing this, Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) cried and said: “Allah Ta`ala will not assign to Jahannum anyone but a rebellious person bent on open transgression.”.........Only a person who deliberately and flagrantly rebels against Allah’s law, one who knowingly and wantonly refuses to acknowledge the authority of Allah Ta`ala, has chosen the fire for himself by his own choice. The humble ones will be treated with only mercy.Even a man who is unable to fulfill the rights of others on account of his lack of ability and means, will obtain the aid of Allah Ta`ala provided that he always was concerned about fulfilling such rights. Allah Ta`ala will make up for the people of right (e.g. creditors) by offering great rewards to them on behalf of the debtor.”
There is a difference in believing in something and acting upon something you believe in, the tongue verifies and makes your intention firm and you verify it to God. It's taking the extra mile.
I'm sorry bro, but it seems like you have so many things twisted in your own head. It's like you want to be in a religion, but you don't want to be? Things are so unclear for you, but the way you are portraying yourself is also extremely ambiguous, it almost seems as if people are wasting their energy in trying to figure out your thought process which is very illogical.
Going to makkah and madinah means nothing unless you know why you're going there for, unless you have an intention.
Religion, practically all of them, had a messenger. If you want to start out from scratch and not believe in anything then lets do so:
1. Ashahdu ina illaha (I bear witness IN NO GOD).
2. IlLallah --I BELIEVE IN THE ONE AND ONLY GOD (allah)
3. wa ashhadu ana muhammadan 3abduhu (I bear witness that Muhammed is His servant)
4. wa rasuluh (and His messenger)
You already said you believed in one God (#2), and I'm guessing you refer to Him as Allah, and you believe in Muhammed as a servant of God (but not a prophet) (#3)..so you already believe in 3/4 of the shahada. You don't believe in the messengers, so this is where you have to break it down for us in specifics of why, and what exactly you don't believe in. Saying you don't believe in miracles is not specific. Otherwise, if you're just going to follow your desires and go back and forth into choosing what fits for you in this worldly life, then the truth is you're not a believer in anything but this dunyaa.

I do not refer to God as Allah.
Also I am ok with organized religion (especially if it's the way to heaven) but not very fond of it. Many religions seem man made and I am starting to believe all are.
I do not believe in the stories about Prophets (they sound made up) so indirectly I do not believe in them.
What has happened to you O StrivingforDeen? You were once the champion in da'wah, you know so much about Islam much much more than many of here, but yet you gave up, you have forsaken your fitra - which is natural disposition of man, which is Islam.
It reminds me of how Iblis, the accursed satan, how much he worshipped Allah and he knows the truth but rejected it, and his everlasting abode will be hellfire. He was kicked far from Allah's mercy because of his open rebelliousness.
That is really scary, come back onto the deen, O StrivingforDeen, I dont think I need to tell you more because you'r quite knowledgeable in Islam, so you know.
Come back to Islam, dont let others lead you astray, dont be in their company.

I am not sure of the truth.
Also I am sure I have forgotten stuff about Islam.
