Thank you, that's kind. I also want what's best for you! :happy:

can i ask you sister, if jesus is the son of god? wheres the wife of god?

because scientifically yeh, you gotta have a wifey & a hubby to have a son

You don't believe in the virgin birth of Jesus???

also lol me not trying to convert you, if you feel your religion is good, then thats kool like it says in the Quran - surah kafiroon

"You will not believe what i believe, nor will i believe what you believe, for me is my religion, for you is yours"

Fabulous quote. I so agree! :statisfie

Blessings.

People, it would help this thread and others, if you could all try to spell in a manner that makes it possible for the average English-speaker to understand!!!
What I mean is Write in proper Englsih and cut out that texting-speak!
What's the point in trying to have a good discussion, if half the participants cannot understand the other half? :?

Peace. :giggling:

You have to understand that I believe that Jesus is God's son who was sent by his father to die for us as an atonement for our sins.
I believe that he was the ultimate sacrifice to reconnect humankind with God.

When you believe that it is rather implausible that some 700 years later God would send another prophet to undo it all.

I have no strong views on Muhammed. He may have been a great man, but I do not believe that he was a prophet of God.
Sorry. :rollseyes

I am about to read a book about his life, perhaps I can answer your question better when I have done that!

Peace.

so glo look at the parts of your comment that i have highlighted. this looks as if you are not sure whether jesus was a prophet or god's offspring (astagkhirullah)he can't be both! any way i will let you get on with what you was reading maybe it will clear a few things up in regards to islam.
take care:sister:

I think you misread my post. When I used the term 'another prophet' I did not mean another prophet apart from Jesus, but another prophet following the many other prophets in the Bible; Abraham, Moses, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Jonah, Ezekiel, to name just a few.

I very clearly believe that Jesus is the Son of God, and not a prophet; but reading your reply I can understand how you could have misread my post. Sorry for the confusion!

I have to warn you, it will take me a while to get round to reading this book. How may months have you got? :giggling:

Peace.

You say you don't believe? What is it that you don't believe exactly? Upon serious study, and I visited all religions; studied them, and found Islam to be true. You should search your questions that you have and find absolute answers, and make a final deciding factor. If you ask questions, find an answer, solve and find a solution to your doubt. Then you can't be wrong with your decision, if it the answer in your heart.

 

[queen_nadia]

thats good advice!

Are you talking to me? :?

Where did I say I don't believe?? :rollseyes
I don't believe Muhammed to be a prophet of God, but apart from that I believe plenty, thank you!
I have no need for a solution, since I have no doubt. But thank you for your concern! :thankyou:

peace.

your funny. but seriously i hope you have chosen a great book because the prophet lived a great life!
im not trying to convert you or bombard you with info but i read a book not so long ago called The Life of Muhammad (Saw) by tahia al-ismail. it is very good and i can tell you i couldn't stop crying towards the end. the prophets (SAW) life is a very touching story so have fun! even though i was born a muslim this book had show me how far i was from perfection and what i had to change to even get a tinsy bit closer to it!:sister:

 

[searchingsoul]

SearchingSoul, if i may ask a question to you then, what are your beliefs about Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) then?

I've spoken to Christians who called him the Devil, and other Christians who regard his as a pious man, would like to know what u think,

thanks,
Kidman

I don't have a definite opinion about the Prophet Mohammed. I sometimes think that he was the prophet sent to the Ishmaelites only (or primarily). The old testament promises Abraham that his son with Hagar will someday become a great nation. Maybe God kept that promise by creating the Prophet Mohammed. :?

 

[KAding]

Well, first and foremost, obviously one must believe the Qu'ran is really the word of God and Muhammed really is a Prophet. Not believing that will stop anyone from becoming a Muslim.

Furthermore, it just that too much doesn't seem right. I think Islam is too exclusionary, it so stresses the importance of the Muslim community, it seems to promote an 'us vs. them' feeling. I mean, just consider concepts like dar-al-Islam and dar-al-Harb, it simply sounds too hostile.

Moreoever, all these rules, it simply does not make sense. How can God be about petty rules? Surely God will look at whats in your heart, he will look at how you treat people, if you are a good person. I simply cannot accept that there is just one path to God, I would think virtually all religions can lead to enlightenment.

There are more reason, but I am in a hurry, so let me just say that the idea of paradise and hell does not make sense to me either. The principle of reincarnation somehow feels more right to me. How the hellfire is described in the Qu'ran, it simply does not sound like a just God, sorry.
