It's nice to see this thread up and running again.

Thanks to all who have contributed so far.

I did not vote, because I cant find a proper choice.......
Cant there be a choice for having doubt only once in my entire life?
it was only once actually in my case
and I appreciate that moment a lot, because it leaded me to find the ultimate irrefutable truth that strengthened my Eman and enlightened my way

 

[edil]

To be honest I've never had any doubts about my faith. But on the other hand I do get the whispers of Shaitaan, like who created God, How does God look like? But as we know thats not something new and even the companions use get that and they would complain to the prophet.

AsSalamOAlikum WaRehmatuAllah WaBarkatuhu

Islam is quintessentially perfect. Impossible to doubt. Absolutely undoubtable.

Alhamdulillah!!!

FiAmaaniAllah

The fact that you never doubt your religion is not necessarily a good thing, you know.

I wonder how many Scientologists ever doubt their religion. Probably not many.

I'm sure many members Heaven's Gate and the Jonestown group and other suicide or death cults never doubted their faith either.

 

[Danah]

^ I agree on some points you mentioned
the doubt moment I had in the past raised a lot of questions in my mind which lead me to find the answers I looked for.
I think having doubt moments is good to make us look for the truth and find it
Islam is undoubtable religion, even if we had some doubts moments we always find the answers when we searched for it.....subhan allah everything is so clear it only need us to learn more

 

[KashifB]

I sometimes have Waswasa. This is where Shaytaan puts some sort of doubt in my mind but I immediately say Astaghfirulla and start thinking about something else. And that's the end of that Waswasa.

Narrated abu huraira: The Prophet said, "Allah has accepted my invocation to forgive what whispers in the hearts of my followers, unless they put it to action or utter it." Bukhari (See Hadith No. 657 Vol. 8) (Book #46, Hadith #705)

I have on occassion, but the Holy Spirit has always been there to comfort me and bring me back to the fold.

GOD seems so out there and unbelieveable, it is Jesus that has made GOD believable for me.

 

[Flame of Hope]

I chose "sometimes".....

I couldn't have chosen "never".

But I think having doubts merely served to increase my faith. Because whenever I had doubts it made me investigate and find answers with greater fervor. Finding the truth after research destroyed all doubts that arose in my mind. So it turned out to be a greater blessing to have doubts than not to have them.......

That is interesting. I am the opposite right now. I know that there is a God, but it is the Trinity and Jesus that are the difficult things for me to figure out.

So do I ever have moments of doubt? All of the time. I've been a Christian most of my life, except for the few years that I was an atheist in college. I've always taken the Trinity and Jesus for granted that it is the right way, but lately I begin to wonder.

I voted never because everytime i have been in a position of needing proof, i have looked into it, and Islam had the answer.

For some reason this post really spoke to me, like for some reason I really identified with that. Interesting because I'm a Christian thinking of reverting to Islam.... perhaps this is a sign from Allah (s.w.t.)? I hope you don't think me impertinent for asking this, but could you give an example? I was just really intrigued by this post. I thought it was beautiful

 

[Riana17]

Since i educate myself about islam i never doubted it

7years ago, there are things that stop me from fully accepting islam
like why marry 4
why wear hijab
i know it wasnt my time yet, but alhamdollelah with proper education, i fully understand my religion now

and i know it is the best thing i can achieve in this life (being real muslim)

 

[Who Am I?]

I have come to terms with the covering of women in Islam. It used to bother me, I admit. Why is she covering herself up when she is so beautiful, I used to ask myself. But now I think I understand that one.

Now if I can figure out dogs and alcohol, I'll be gold...

 

[Flame of Hope]

I'll be gold...

You could be gold in the making. lol.

 

[Who Am I?]

You could be gold in the making. lol.

Just don't spend me all in one place.

I know this will not be a quick process. But I like to think I'm on the path to greatness...

...if I don't go insane first. :skeleton:

Inshallah we will pray for that, and we like to see you here

Well I will welcome all intercession to the Almighty on my behalf, because we all need that, especially at this time in my life (not to sound like a whiner or drama king).

I just can't absorb religions it's full of rationalizations and interpretations then re-interpretations and when there's a dead end to answer a question it will be god knows best.

Like What was god doing before deciding to create the universe! Or Why he created us! The punishment and reward! The bloody end of days!


Also the old testament bibles and the orders from god to kill kill kill . But there's rationalizations to everything and i just can't absorb them.

Banning teaching of the theory of evolution in most arab countries! There's something wrong !

It's been banned in the United States before too so there really is no regional isolation there. You can look it up online though. Personally, the theory of evolution is really no big deal to me. It hasn't shaken my faith and that is no rationalization on my part.

I think that what you should do is try not to absorb yourself with the tough questions you mentioned above because a few of those questions have no answer in any of the Holy books. It's a guide for you to live a happy and peaceful life. Trying to rationalize everything and making it more complicated than it truly is will eventually drive you insane.

Smileeeee. It's OK. Just keep seeking knowledge and you will find the truth you're looking for. Often times, the answer is God knows best. I hope you don't disagree that and if you do May Allah grant you clarity of mind and happiness in this life. Ameeeen

There are many things in this world that we will not know and not even science can answer everything.

A lot of those things used to bother me too when I was younger. I really don't care that much about science and politics anymore.You won't be able to find all of the answers. Believe me, I've tried, and I never did find what I was looking for back then.

These days all I want is to find inner peace and be happy with who I am.
