Selamün aleyküm dear brothers and sisters,

Today I stumbled upon this video which demonstrates how close the jewish language is to arabic and what arguments they use to not believe in Allah.

I thought it could be a very handy piece of information to understand the whole picture.

Peace be with you Ümit; and thanks for sharing.

The question of God seems to divide people.

When you flip the question, and look at it from God's perception, and the 99 names of Allah, this describes God's nature. It makes more sense to understand, the same God hears all our prayers, despite our differences. You will never look into the eyes of anyone, who does not matter to God. This should make us all brothers and sisters together, despite our differences. Justice must be the same for all people, I should want the same justice for Christians, Muslims atheists and all others. If someone is starving, or someone has committed murder, justice must be the same regardless of their belief system.

Truth and our beliefs; should lead us towards making this world a kinder and more caring place to live. If we are to compete against each other, it should be in acts of kindness, and this will make the world a better place. We pray to God, and ask guidance to do his will.

May Allah bless you all on your journey through life.

Hello Eric,

You have talked about the rights of people but you have evaded talking about the Rights of God. Doesn't the One Who created us and blessed us with faculties of hearing, seeing, intellect and much more, the One Who has sent down Books and Messengers to guide us and teach us, have Rights over us? Most certainly, it is God's Right that we should worship Him Alone and associate nothing with Him. This is also clear from reflecting over the Names of Allah سبحانه وتعالى.

Whilst truth and beliefs should lead to the world being a better place, the question of God is at the heart of everything. It is not something we can brush under the carpet when our very salvation depends upon it. This doesn't mean we cannot be just or kind to those who have differing beliefs, but to pretend that the question of God is unimportant is a disservice to humanity and moreover ingratitude to one's Creator. To say that there is no difference between truth and falsehood is a lie. Allah says in the Qur'an, (interpretation of the meaning):
Those blind ˹to the truth˺ and those who can see are not equal, nor are those who believe and do good ˹equal˺ to those who do evil. Yet you are hardly mindful. [Qur'an 40:58]​

No one has the right to say what does or does not matter to God, except God or His Prophets. The Prophets all focused on the same core message, that of God's Oneness. The Final Revelation, the Qur'an, is filled with proofs and arguments highlighting there is only One God worthy of worship. Clearly, this is a matter of utmost importance.

You mention asking God for guidance to do 'His Will'. God has sent us guidance but it is upon us to submit to it, not invent our own ideas to follow.
