Question For The Non-muslims

[AvarAllahNoor]

Because...

Sarab Dharam Meh Saraysat Dharam. Har Ko Naam Jap Nirmal Karam.

Of all religions, the best religion is to chant the Name of the Lord and maintain pure conduct.

For me only Sikhism is befitting,

 

[AvarAllahNoor]

i think i probably worship the very same god that you worship, but i can't claim to know.
no i don't think a religion is necessary in order to be a decent human being.

But you need Gurbani, yes? :statisfie

 

[wilberhum]

wilber i aked u a question earlier, i asked wot u thought wud happen 2 u wen u die?

When you die, your dead. The heare after are concepts of religion based on a superiority complex and an inability to accept the end of our existance.

 

[Joe98]

its nt about wot happens 2 the bodies, it wot happens 2 the soul

There is no soul

[wilberhum]

There is no soul

Agree. No soul, no need for an after life.

Greetings and peace be with you wilberhum;

Agree. No soul, no need for an after life.

If there is no after life then it seems there is no God.

Is there a creater? I find it quite posible that the answer is no. I find it quite possible the answer is yes. Why did god make dinosaurs? I don’t know. I just don’t think he did it so we can have oil.

I just find too many problems with the concept of heaven and hell.
I just tend to not believe what I find illogical.

I find no correlation between no soul and no god.

salaam,

From my experiences with non-Muslims, most of them usually have one or two main reasons why the aren't Muslim. Surprisingly, these reasons can be misconceptions sometimes.

So my question is, what are the reason(s) that you have not accepted Islam?

I think islam is wrong, and there is no benefit to being a muslim. I disagree with the way that many muslims behave as well. Judge a tree by it's fruits, so to speak.

 

[AbuAbdallah]

Thank You all for your responses. I am waiting for a few more, then I will give one big response Insha'Allah.

 

[tomtomsmom]

The reason why I am not muslim is simple. It is the same reason why I don't consider myself to follow any religion. I just don't know! There are so many religions out there and they all claim that they are the only true one. So who the heck I am to say which one is right and all the others are wrong?

But you need Gurbani, yes? :statisfie

lol. i don't need it like i need my qawwali, but i do like it and find it quite grounding.

i dunno about that. i believe in god, but not in an afterlife. it isn't required.

So u think ur jus gunna die and thats it:? Sounds boring lol... :X

I hope that you don't think quoting some thing from some book that none of us think is any other than a book some Muslims wrote is going to destroy all of our beliefs.

I can only speak for me but that will only show how naive you are.
Do you think I just woke up one day and said, "Guess I will be an agnostic"?
If so you are sadly mistaken. I would be willing to bet that I have spent more time thing about god and his nature than most. Turning away from Christianity after 45 years was not a decision I took lightly.

 

[Nσσя'υℓ Jαииαн]

Dude what is your deal? He didnt quote anything. Stop heating threads up.

no, actually i have no idea what will happen when i die. i seem to have enough to handle with this life.

Interesting thread and interesting responses.

Obvious question I wanted to ask the non-muslims was already asked - which was what do non muslims believe will happen after death. And some of the responses were interesting and it makes perfect sense that they believe in the death of soul along with the body.

I for one, has always been on one side and I don't know/felt the 'other side'. But based on what I see happening in this world, namely, innocent little kids getting killed, violence all over the world, cheating, unfair treatment of people etc etc, I find it hard to believe that those perpetrators would just die without getting their deserved punishment. I find it hard to believe that an innocent little kid burnt to death would meet the same end as the one who burnt the kid. In my ideal world, I would want anyone who has done even a little harm to see its punishment. That's what makes me believe in an 'after life' to settle things.

The other thing I observed in some replies is that some of the non muslims believe that some of the islamic practices are unnecessary/redundant. I would like to know if those practices, by any means, have repelled them away from the good teachings of Islam. I would appreciate any replies to these questions.

abwan,
i understand what you are saying and it makes sense. belief in a hereafter would answer a lot of troubling questions.
i live with the questions.
i have no criticism of islam; i just don't feel the need for a religion.
i don't share its beliefs
-in angels
-revealed books
-judgement day
-prophets
by saying i do not believe in them, i do not say that they do not exist.
i don't know, but so far in my experience i have not experienced anything that would indicate that they exist.
