Some misconceptions about Islam, or questions. Pls answer.

**Serinity** · 02-19-2016

I've some questions, and I will get straight to it.

A. I sometimes, get the impression that Islam is 'cult-like', cause some verses says to "be ruthless to kafirs, and kind and merciful to your brothers, Muslims" but there is also verses that says to be kind to those who don't attack you on deen....

B. Should we really hate kafirs, personally, because of their religion????????

C. Are there terms such as 'innocents' in Islam, regarding kafirs?

D. Are we only allowed to be kind to Muslims, even if they are rude.. What about the kafirs, if they are rude, shouldn't we be the mature one?

E. Verse 7:179 says.. Any explanation? Why would Allah punish someone, when they were created for Hell?

I understood that, everyone is born a Muslim, with the ability to believe. But if one does not practice or excerise that ability to discern/believe in truth, one will lose it.. But this ayats makes it sound that they were born with blind hearts. etc. How is it fair?

Would Allah punish someone for being confused? Not knowing? Not finding the truth? Not being convinced?

Idk, I just hear much about how bad it is to live in the west. I mean, sure, there are bad things like prevalent indecency, acceptance of nudity, and stuff.

So, is it?

Explain hating for the sake of Allah.

we do not hate people personally, but their sins, we do not hate the sinner for their sins, but isn't it natural to hate people if they murdered your family?

Would you not hate a person who killed your brother?

For now I understand it like this.

we hate for the sake of Allah - which means we do not hate with our nafs - desires. I.e. anger, etc. So we hate the sin, not the sinner? at all times?

And Allah

knows best.

Salam O Alikum

Subhan allah,you remind me of the old me which was like 4 or 3 months ago,i was having so much wiswas at a point I started going through the basics of islam LOL,and subhan allah the same thoughts were going through my head,but what I see is,you're a good muslim,and idk why but you're really scared from believing others in Allah,which shows how much submissive you are to Allah,i actually had the same thought but not exact,i was wondering "What if I am believing in allah,but then I am not?" so I went crazy on google and then I came across this which warmed up my heart so much,"He who is worried about wither he is a munafiq or not,he's not" a munafiq is a muslim who doesn't believe in god anymore,stops praying (I prayed and everything hamdillah I only thoughts that allah doesn't exist,but then again I go back to the miracles of the quran,and started having thoughts that prophet mohammed (pbuh) didn't exist "Ikr? stupid thoughts lol" but then,i watched a lot of Islamic videos,and the most common thing that was said throughout all the Islamic scholars was "It's how strong you will hold on to the book of Allah" and it just hit me,i didn't even read the quran once! so I started going through it and I began reading it,subhan allah,the first verse touched me already,like it left me speechless,i wanted answers for my questions and I got them from reading the first page of the quran,Allahu Akbar,brother I would LOVE to help you out,as for your doubts,you can ask me what you're having doubts for cuz I wanna help you brother,and also I remember having tears down my cheeks saying "O allah don't make one of the ahtiests and polytheists" but the first thing I recommend you to do is,read the quran,YOU have to bro,its the guidance for life,and also know that satan LOVES to trick very good muslims like you,and yes you are a very good muslim mashallah,so just pretend you're having no bad thoughts,if you're having them,ignore them,read or listen to the quran,the shaytan might get sick listening to the beautiful powerful words of Allah.So brother,if you have any question,just ask,i understand Islam a lot and I wanna help you so bad so that allah can guide you,ameen <3

Wa alaikum salam,

I have no doubts, it is just recurring waswass on shirk and Tawheed. I already know worship is ONLY for Allah, and worshipping ANYONE, or anything, or whatever or whoever, no matter what or who, besides Allah, is shirk akbar.

I know one has to believe in the Qur'aan 100%, the Sunnah 100%. So what can rid me off the waswass????????

I've been struggling to stay on The Qur'aan and The Sunnah, trying soo much.

As salamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.

Try to read atleast 30 minutes of quran,i have a lot on my hand so I cant read the quran every day unfortunately,well brother,for wiswas,im not sure wallahi.I started having wiswas when I wasn't learning much about islam,i was kind of a practicing muslim,but after I heard this line from an Islamic video,i completely changed and I became a "practicing" muslim,started going to the prayers,started learning islam more and more,but then I also saw some bad things,like the quran is a lie for example(which is of course not) and that's when wiswas was coming on,i read the quran a bit,listened to quran,understood it,but I still had doubts,i don't know how I don't have wiswas anymore,basically you have to do a lot of dua,and read the quran and understand it and watch Islamic videos about it,and basically go through all of that,thats how I got rid off it,sometimes the wiswas might stay on you,why? BECAUSE IT'S A TEST FROM ALLAH,he'll see how STRONG you really are to his book and to his message,but if he sees that you're suffering a lot,he'll remove this "disease" from your heart,what I recommend you to do is,try to get as much as time on the quran,listen to the quran,understand it,and make dua,i will make dua for you inshallah,and jummah Mubaraka <3 (Since it's 12 AM here in the UAE)
