Be prepared to explain:

Some of the topics that all Muslims should be able to explain are:

* The concept of Tawhid (oneness of God)
* Prophet Muhammad as being a real Prophet
* News reports about violence by Muslims
* Polygamy in Islam
* Reasons for wearing Hijab
* Reasons for praying five times daily
* The Quran and Science

Always keep in mind that no matter what we tell anybody, their view of Islam will be how we act as a person. How we are seen, is the message we send to the world as to what it means to be a Muslim.

Greetings and peace Iconoclast;

Thank you for starting this thread and I would like to bring up a question about the oneness of God from maybe a different perception.

I can fully agree that the same God created all people and he has given us the freedom to come to him through many diverse ways, history has shown a constant diversity of beliefs.

It seems that mankind is not content to follow only one path in the same way. But what do you see as the greater goal?

Would it be for everyone to convert to the same religion, or would it be to build interfaith friendships and strive towards peace on Earth?

In the spirit of seeking truth

I personaly believe that the way to gain heaven, is to submit and do the will of God(swt), or as said in Arabic, Islam. I can only say that what I have found to be the way to do true Islam is to be Muslim.

I only know that being Muslim is practicing Islam. I do not know if any other belief does the will of God(swt). I do not need to know, as I know God(swt) is leading me on the Path to him.

I have no animosity towards any faith and have love for all who are true to their faith.

To quote you:

"It seems that mankind is not content to follow only one path in the same way. But what do you see as the greater goal?

I'm not trying to confuse you nor act like a wise guy. But, my answer to your question is a simple yes.

The only true Religion is the submission to and doing the will of God(swt). Once that is done, there will be no need for us Humans having discussions about what faith is right. The entire thought then will be as to what can we each do to serve God(swt)

however if your mother isnt going to forgive you isnt that wrong aswell! you know it aint that easy for her to just marry the person she wants to marry as its gonna break up her whole family.!
(i dont mean to depress ya, she has actually kinda depressed me by it as i cant help her)

I talked to my math teacher about islam. I think i got him interested about islam. I also gived him a couple of sites and inshaallah ill try 2 convert him. ill keep trying and i think ill have him in math class next year. So i got plenty of time.

[syilla]

anyway where r they (non-muslims)?

[Looking4Peace]

About the marrying the cousin thing, i find this gross, well first cousins anyway, too much blood lineage, i think its called incest? has been shown to increase the risk of birth defects once having a child,at the same time marrying a cousin with no blood relation is quite different and to me acceptable.

Inshallah we will...infact alhamduillah i beklive 9/10 we might have begun long back and if there are questions we cannot answer atm we can always refer to the holy quran and to understand the quran we need to understand the Prophet SAW's life and refer to the hadith of Syedna Mohd ibn ismail al Bukahri ( if i am correct that is the name of the author of what we call as Sahi Bukhari ) 6 voulmes , and muslim 4 voulumes and Tamridi 10 volmes <--- Rahmatullah alikum ,in english urdu arabic and Allah knows best .... if still we can't find and answer ( we are not lost thier questions are inqusitive if irrevences )there are plenty of dawa sites to ask them....dr zakir, dr issrar ahmed, brother ahmed ali, brother jamal badawi....the list is endless MashALLAH .........

In my humble opinion
1 a islamic husbad is preffered to a non Islamic for a muslim to marry.
2 it is a right of every ,uslim to marry who she wants if she/he is of right age and know the diffrence between right and wrongs of Deen
3 it is also a fact that you must not even utter the word "uff" to ur parents.
4.the reason behind the rejection should be valid

Allah knows best and forgives all he is As-Sami-Ul-Aleem

what is the goal of mankind?- well that is a sepreate thread i wanted to start..i will explain that when i come back from work later

Would it be for everyone to convert to the same religion, or would it be to build interfaith friendships and strive towards peace on Earth?..

well we all come from the same father and mother Adam And Huwa ( eve )
we were born togeather and then we grew apart as one was resistant to give up practises that were created my man and didn't folloe the present messenger pf thier time .as prophet saw says "there were 124000 messengers of allah and we are all brothers and do not create ranks amoungst us" although he truly is the Imam ( leader ) of Ambiya ( messengers ) and the last of them where/with the deen or talimat of allah subhana wa talla ended or finalised Prophethood of muhammed SAW and on the completion of the Holy Quran.
so in my humble opinion look and search ur soul u know there is an answer.
