But the problem here is that you dont know what god has willed for you! just becuase you are a chirstian now, doesnt mean that later on you cant become a muslim..

we can never change what god has willed for us- theres absolutely no need to think this way either. whatever we do and however we act will be from the will of god. therefore for you to change your line of thinking is itself from gods will.

to say "who are we to try and change what God has willed for each one of us?" is illogical, becuase it implies that we actually have the capacity to act against gods will! (of course, we dont).

i hope what i said makes sense... ive got a feeling its pretty confused. :rollseyes

Sis, the god's will thing doesn't work that way really. LIke lolwatever said, one can;t stab himslef and say, god willed it. Allah has given us the willpower to change the way we live. Just because a person is born in poverty, it doesn;t mean that he chould say, "Allah willed it so I will remain poor". He should try his best to make his life better. Similarly if a person drives drunk and dies in an accident, we can;t say it happened due to Allah's will.

Before this goes off-topic I should add:
If someone is not born a Muslim, we can;t say it's Allah's will that they are born a non0Mulsim. They have been given the will power to change.

what you just explained here is the point i was trying to make.. i didnt know i was so hopeless at explaining... :cry:

my point was you cant just say "god willed that i be this was and not want to change"
 
^ perhaps we mean "we can't label things as purely matter of 'fate' beyond our control"

:D

otherwise why would Allah put us here in first place.. what sort of test would that be.

Salam Alaikum Sister Manaal:

002.136 Say (O Muslims): We believe in Allah and that which is revealed unto us and that which was revealed unto Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the tribes, and that which Moses and Jesus received, and that which the prophets received from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and unto Him we have surrendered.

Inshallah, I will do my best to explain what this verse means. Someone will please correct me if I am mistaken.

As Muslims we believe all Prophets preached the oness of God. All previous revelations, in their original form, taught the oness of God. This is no different from the revelation revealed to Prophet Muhammed, pbuh. We, just like all that was given the revelation before us, submit/surrender to the will of Allah, swt, and only worship Him.

This verse is only confirming that the God of Muhammed, pbuh, that revealed the Qur'an, is the same God that revealed previous revelations to other prophets who in turn taught the people they were sent to. The messages, in their original form, were exactly the same as what we practice now...The oness of God and the only one worthy of worship.

I hope that helps, but if not, please let me know and I will try again, inshallah. :)

Wa'alaikum salam,
Hana
