No wonder this guy is a former Muslim... where did he get his knowledge from? Anti-Islamic websites? The Prophet knew fully well that he was granted Paradise.
Looks like you friend never had much knowledge to begin with.
We are saved because of our own actions and the Mercy of God. It is called
justice. Don't expect an evil sinning Muslim to enter paradise without being punished. That is not just.
No wonder your religion has so little rules that you need to follow. No one would follow them even if they did exist because they already think they are saved.
I don't know that I am covered. That is why I continue to do good deeds and strive in the way of Allah, because I need it. If I knew I was already guaranteed paradise I would not do half the good deeds I do now.
By the way, it is very arrogant of you to think you are guaranteed Paradise- you are not deed yet. You could die an atheist for all you know.
Yeh, a solid foundation based on a book whose authenticity is disputed.
Yeh, same goes to Christianity, we believe in the more or less the same prophets, duh.
To the Muslim, God is well above all that you attribute to Him and your sin of attributing a Son to Him is so great that it even the mountains would crumble upon being exposed it, had God not protected them that.
To the Muslim, we know that God is Just and so would not punish an innocent with the sins of others, let alone allow Himself to be punished at the hands of His creation!! What blasphemy!
We are all held accountable for our own deeds.
We know that our fate is in our own hands, and by doing good deeds
ourselves and hoping for the Mercy of Allah we will be saved.
Paradise is for those who do good, not for lip service.
