The concept of hell is certainly an interesting one!hew
Greetings,
I'm not sure why you've brought this site up.
Whatever the reason, 'beautiful' definitely isn't a word I would use to describe it. +o(
PEACE czgibson;
Islam - A World Of Peace And Love
Islam - A World Of Love And Peace
A world where people love to smile,
And send good wishes all the while.
A world where people offer peace,
And good words from them never cease.
A world where people do not hoard,
But give to those who can't afford.
A world where people help defend,
And heal the wounds and try to mend.
A world where people share a gift,
And help the pauper's spirit lift.
A world where people feel no pride,
But live together side by side.
A world where people purify,
And always on their Lord rely.
This world, we have it in our palm.

Yes, that was amusing.I can't watch all of that video, but I skipped forward to that bit where that woman asked a question, and the scholar started talking about grapes.
It is absolutely not true that he hates Non-Muslims. I assure you that he has formed his views based purely on scripture. Like any orthodox Muslim, he does not believe what he believes just because he wants to believe it but rather he genuinely believes this to be the truth based on the texts. Does he count as an Islamic scholar? Well, he has studied under various scholars at the Islamic University of Madinah and has authored a few books about Islam, about which I consider him to be very knowledgeable.He has also spoken out firmly against violence and extremism committed in the name of Islam, which has led to some extremist "Muslims" deeming him to be an American sell-out.Horrifying. The man can barely conceal his hatred for non-Muslims. Does he count as an Islamic scholar?
I was going to argue about what 'good' means but you've already dismissed anything I could possibly say as "little more than brainwashing". :hmm:"You cannot live a life of good without being a true Muslim." We could argue about what 'good' means, of course, but this amounts to little more than brainwashing. It's perfectly possible to lead a life of selflessness (as much as any human can) that benefits others and leaves a legacy of good without being a Muslim. Martin Luther King, M. K. Ghandi, Oscar Romero and countless other examples will attest to this.
The point was that, to knowingly reject the truth about your purpose for existence and thus indirectly claim that what Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said was false is enough to eclipse a lifetime of 'good' (whatever that means) that you might have done. Let's think about the bigger picture here - the very reason that we exist. According to Islam, the only reason that we were created is to worship Allah (the way he wants us to worship him). If somebody comes to realise this purpose and rejects it, then they have done something very evil. If they go on to do things that would have been considered good, had they been done for Allah's sake, then these deeds will not avail them because they are continuing to do something very evil by not fulfilling the real purpose of their existence despite them knowing full well what that purpose is.Apparently denying Islam is equal to (or possibly worse) than murder. This shows an astonishing disregard for the right to life, and is a more innocuous-sounding part of the very same mentality that enables "so-called Muslim" suicide bombers to exist.
His mention of salvific exclusivity being a part of every religion was really more of a side point. In fact he used the words "by the way" right before he said it. He wasn't stating it as a reason to believe in salvific exclusivity, but merely mentioning it as an additional side point to consider.His final point on this question, about "salvific exclusivity", amounts to stating that "every other religion believes this, so why can't we?"
As I said earlier, these are not his personal views, but the mainstream Islamic position. He studied at the Islamic University of Madinah, his views are based on an orthodox understanding of the texts and I consider myself to be an orthodox Muslim. Anyway, I know you don't like what he says but if you want to know the mainstream Islamic position on this issue, then you should definitely listen to him.I am amazed that someone as intelligent as you, Osman, could think that the views of this man are worth sharing. :hmm:
I don't suppose you'd like to see more of it?On the plus side, however, I thought the stage set was absolutely excellent!

I'm not sure how you inferred his analogy as being 'an astonishing disregard for the right to life' though. He neither said nor implied in any way that it is acceptable to murder a Non-Muslim. He was using murder as an example of something very evil which completely eclipses anything good that you might have done.

I don't suppose you'd like to see more of it?![]()
what do you want us to do? Love you, like you? Do you love us? You reject Islam and attack Islam from left and right and you want us to not to hate you for your kufr and violating the rights of Allah!? Yes, we hate you due to your actions and belief! This is most nonsensical thing that I ever hear from you kuffaar and your complains "o Muslims hate us; o Muslims call us kafir" are not going to help you! The one who does not hate the kuffaar for their actions and beliefs and yet claim to be a Muslim then he should know that the imaan has left his heart!Horrifying. The man can barely conceal his hatred for non-Muslims. Does he count as an Islamic scholar?
what is brainwashing is telling people that there is no absolute truth and operating on this paradigm and forcing people to live by your subjective standards, which leads to nothing but more oppression and injustice. Good is that which is defined by the Creator and not by puny humans deficient knowledge and intellect."You cannot live a life of good without being a true Muslim." We could argue about what 'good' means, of course, but this amounts to little more than brainwashing. It's perfectly possible to lead a life of selflessness (as much as any human can) that benefits others and leaves a legacy of good without being a Muslim. Martin Luther King, M. K. Ghandi, Oscar Romero and countless other examples will attest to this.
again, these thoughts stems because your whole ideology is corrupt; thus, you cannot understand Islam and whenever you do try then you use your own corrupt notions and standards which is not objective in any field of academic. Islam is to be understood by its own standards and principles. The rights of Allah greatly outweigh the rights of the humans; thus, denying Allah and His Message is worse than killing a human being. Because your whole methodology is corrupt and not based upon Prophetic understanding; hence, you cannot swallow this and your list of crimes are only limited to humans. You are here complaining about rights of humans but what about the rights of your Creator, the one Who Created you and gave you everything you have? Who deserve to be given more respect!?Apparently denying Islam is equal to (or possibly worse) than murder. This shows an astonishing disregard for the right to life, and is a more innocuous-sounding part of the very same mentality that enables "so-called Muslim" suicide bombers to exist.
how dare you actually say this and yet claim to be a Muslim? You think the people who deny the Message of Allah and those who deny His existence are not going to hell!? Where did you learn your Islam!? So Christians are going to heaven too because they believe in God in their own way when the Qur'an called them outright heretics and those who will go to hell?This topic made me so angry ,who the hell told u that non muslims go to hell,No body goes to hell if they beleive in God and u do good things,evrybody has questions in their mind about God ,cuz no none has seen him,and a lot of people beleive in God in their own way,The only people that will go to hell are people who do bad things and who dont beleive in God at all.SO my friend dont worry about ur relatives as if they beleive in God then the heaven will be ready for them
God bless you
