My family is kufar

So if someone is not a Muslim they will go to the hell fire. What about my family? I can place the most perfect argument for Islam to them but thats not gonna make them convert. They have all been so conditioned to believe Christianity that it seems like it is no use. Its not just my family it is also my close friends. Last week when i was leaving from my last day of school i saw that i had locked my keys in my car. So my friend Mike did a good deed by taking me home so i could get my extra keys. Then when we got back to the school i noticed that the keys in my car were turned on. So now my cars battery was dead........... So Michael took me back to his house where we got some cables and jumped my car. See he did these really good deeds. Had he not been there i would have been lost. I cant imagine my family in hell fire. A brother at the Masjid told me that putting up a great argument can pale in comparison to just acting different. He told me to just be a very polite and pious person. I feel like maybe it will be my fault if my family and friends go into the hell fire now because im not able to convert them.

as the brother advised u to be polite, it's true. just try to avoid debates with them, don't make yourself as a reason for them to get angry and make them say kufr with their mouths. stay out of debates, and improve your self, show them that Islam makes u a better person, also you can make dawa with speaking, but the most important one for you know is making dawa with your behaviour. and remember if you argue with them, you are able to understand them, but they are not able to understand you, so just be patient and Allah will guide them inshaAllah. only if Allah swt wants to. Don't lose your hope.

We don't point with a finger to a person wether he will go to hellfire or not, but Allah swt tells us, that if you associate partners to Allah and you die in that state, that sin is not forgiven. But all other sins are forgiven, except Shirk/Kufr.

Surely Allah does not forgive that anything should be associated with Him, and forgives what is besides that to whomsoever He pleases; and whoever associates anything with Allah, he devises indeed a great sin. (AN-NISA 4:48)

Of course I agree with this. Allah alone is supreme, and no other has a right to be placed beside him. :statisfie

LOL - Now, call me paranoid , but your reference to saints continually has me wondering. Do you think Sikhs regard Saints to be God like?

loll, let's clear this up, basically what Islam requires is not to joing anything in partnership with Allah swt, which
for ex. if you go to graves and pray there, basiclly you are comitting shirk, bc you are thinking that the person on the grave is beloved to Allah and thorugh him you get closer to Allah swt, so this is a shirk,
or some people put blue marbles at the top of the door, bc they say it brings luck, or looking at the horoscope, or let's take an exmaple (it's a stupid one lol) sacrificing a fly thinking that if you do that you will get closer to Allah through that. or some magazines that print stuff and say that if you keep this with you will save u from accidents etc.
all this are types of shirk. bc we have the saying
"la hawle we la quatta illah billah" which means that "There is no power except in Allah", "La illahe ilallah" "There is no diety of worship but Allah" etc. ,and basically if you seek somehwere help or assign power to someone else besides Allah swt than you are in big trouble. When I mean by help i don't mean "can you buy me a pizza", but help , proper help i hope you know what i mean.

Greetings and peace be with you all;

Above all else there is one God and each and every one of us is created by the same God. God chooses whom he wills and he knows the beliefs that he has planted in each one of us, Islam to some, Christianity to some, Sikhism to some; and Hinduism to others.

A Muslim believes that he is striving to do the will of God, so why should I a Christian strive to change something that you believe comes from God?

By the same token I believe beyond a doubt that I am striving to do the will of God through Christianity.

I believe that if either of us is to change it will be more by what God decrees. Truthfully I struggle to understand why the same God has seemingly confused us all by giving us faiths that apparently bring us into conflict with each other.

I feel that the greatest path that God has left us to follow is that we should strive to love one another as we love ourselves. We are left with the option of praying for all our family, friends and neighbours, in the hope that they will find salvation through any other belief to our own.

Rightly or wrongly the path I seem drawn towards is striving for greater interfaith relations and friendships despite all our differences.

In the spirit of praying for peace on Earth

:)God did not confuse us, we confused ourselves :) the faith was always the same, same teachings , sent through Prophets pbut, but when people altered those teachings, then of course there is a conflict between. but God always said to worship God alone and join no partners with him. And that's the core of the faith. so of course we differ.
and as for trying to do the best , we have to do our best in the way God told us. If someone told you to try to build a house from wood as strong as possible, it's not a correct choice if you try to build the house as strong as possible using brick, bc the guide has already been given and you can't use anything else but woods. :)
 
Sure OK! :D thanks for the invitation.


Where shall we discuss it? :)
