I really never had a Muslim tell me that they felt sorry for me, and that I was going to hell.

If a Muslim says that "you are going to hell" then he is misguided or lacks knowledge. However, Christians do believe that every "Non-Christian" will go to hell, buts thats a different story.

Feeling sorry in natural - regardless of what the other person follows. (i mean for earthly matter)
 
I think Christians are a very diverse group, and my mother, for example, would never tell another human being that they're going to hell. Some Southern Baptist folks around these parts however, are quite a different story. Not to mention a few of the Catholic folks I know. Though I don't mean to badmouth them at all, and there are always those among them that I can find a language of understanding with.

There's actually a joke, stolen partially from Dante Aligheri, about this, that people like to tell around the South.

A man has a dream that he is on a tour of heaven. In the dream, he is riding an elevator with an angelic companion, and the elevator opens its doors on each "floor" of heaven and lets him peer in.

"Here are the various Muslim heavens." Says the angel.

"Here are the Hindu heavens."

"Ok, now you have to be very quiet, because we are approaching the Christian heaven and our first stop is the Catholics."

"Great. But why do I have to be so quiet?"

"The Catholics think they're the only ones here."
 
^ lol nice

ps: hindus dont have heaven (they believe in reincarnation 9 or 7 times - then thats it - although concept of heaven is in their book)

accordin to dr.zakir naik the ideology of reincarnation came about the the indian philosophers couldnt answer why disabled were born. Some children born without eyesight, hearing etc. So they not being able to answer this question came up wiv reincarnation HOWEVER, apparently the "authentic" scriptures mention nothing about reincarnation!

This is according to dr.zakir naik

saufia;204062]I haven't researched much on this topic, but I think there is some debate regarding whether non-muslims will go to heaven, especially People of the Book.

Quran98:6 Those who reject (Truth), among the People of the Book and among the Polytheists, will be in Hell-Fire, to dwell therein (for aye). They are the worst of creatures.
Inna allatheena kafaroo min ahli alkitabiwaalmushrikeena fee nari jahannama khalideenafeeha ola-ika hum sharru albariyyati

I dont have time to worry about others going to hell or heaven!

I dont know where im gona be myself!

One can try and help others - but we must also remember valuable lessons from the Quran and Sunnah:

1. Be not like those who invited people to the good while ye forgot to do it yourself [A verse in the Quran, cant remember the ref]

2. There will be a man in hellfire who will be going around in cicles and the people therin will ask him, "what did you do to deserve this?"
He will reply, "I used to invite others to the good but I did not do it myself"
[Bukhari Hadith]

And finally I would like to give you advice from Surah Luqman [31] which Allah swt has given to us in the regards of this topic.....

22 - Whoever submits his whole self to Allah and is a doer of good has grasped indeed the most trustworthy hand-hold: and with Allah rests the End and Decision of (all) affairs.
23 - But if any reject Faith let not his rejection grieve thee: to Us is their return and We shall tell them the truth of their deeds: for Allah knows well all that is in (men's) hearts.
 
As-Salamau Alaykum ,

we should be. thats the sunnah ...wasalams
 
We should try and be good muslims ourselves - the best dawah is not through words along but through the actions.

Believe it or not the more time we spend on being better Muslims the better the dawah activity will become.

Let me give you a simple example:

Muslim Empire in the past - the world looked at it with awe and was inspired from it.

Muslims of today - Yousef Islam said, 'If I had met Muslims before I read the Quran, I would not have been a Muslim today'
 
The Prophet saws was concerned for his people, he knew what was coming so he did all he could to prevent them from the hellfire even one hadith outlines that people are like moths attracted to the fire but the Holy Prophet saws was eager to stop them trying the hardest he could but they were getting past him , the Holy Prophet saws always did dua for the non believeres and called them to eat and gave them gifts in order they would hear the message of Islam so they would be saved furthermore Imam Nawawi quotes this hadith:

'None of you believe until you love for your brother what you love for yourself '

he says concerning this hadith:

this hadith 'should be interpretated in terms of universal brotherhood even to the extent of encompassing disbelievers and Muslims. One loves for ones disbelieving brother what one loves for himself' his entrance into Islam, just as one loves for ones Muslim brother his continuance in Islam. For this reason supplication for a disbelievers guidance is reccomended. this Hadith proves the incompleteness of the faith of whoever does not love for his brother what he loves for himself' Nawawis forty Hadith, Hadith nuber 12

The Holy Prophet pbuh also said:

'love for humanity what you love for yourself' Sahih Bukhari

'By the One in whose hands is my life! no one is a believer unless he loves for his neighbour what he loves for himself. ' Muslim . kitaab ul imaan chapter 17

'Behave good to your neighbour and you will become a believer, love for people what you love for yourself and you will become Muslim.' Tirmizi - book of devotion - chapter 2

wasalams
 
'If I had met Muslims before I read the Quran, I would not have been a Muslim today'

that is a very true statement and why?

Narrated Ziyad ibn Labid

Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) spoke of something and said: It will happen when knowledge will be no more.

I said: Allah's Messenger, how will knowledge vanish despite the fact that we will be reciting the Qur'an and teaching its recitation to our children and our children will teach its recitation to their children up to the Day of Resurrection?

Thereupon he said: Ziyad, may your mother weep over you. I was of the opinion that you were one of those who have greatest understanding of religion in Medina.

Do these Jews and Christians not recite the Torah and the Bible but not act according to what is contained in them?

Transmitted by Ahmad, Ibn Majah, Tirmidhi--Hadith #105
 
Brother the fact remains that people in todays world are not in majority coming to Islam because of the "great characteristics of the muslims" or "great technological advancements of the Islamic countries"

They are in majority coming to Islam via the Quran and the Sunnah when they read it.

If we look at a single Muslim country what do we see?

- Corruption
- Pollution
- Illiteracy
etc etc etc

So it is not words alone that matter

It is not proper to compare the Prophet (s) or his sahabah to the Muslims of today - because compared to them we are shameful failures!

So as Charity begins at home - so does dawah
we should wrk on ourselves before going out to others and worrying about all the rest.

after all we dont want to end up like the example of the man who used to invite others to good while he forgot to do it to himself

i have not read ALL the thread so not sure if someone has pointed this out before.

I would jsut like to say that not everyone in the world has had the opportunity to know Islam. Therefore is is not possible to judge those people. We should obviously try to introduce as many people as we can to the wonderful life of Islam but ultimately it is not up to us to judge anyone.

but if a person says they have no faith in "AHAD" doesnt that mean there ignorant and doomed to hell?:?
 
Please don’t feel sorry for me as a non-Muslim. For I don’t pity Muslims for being Muslim.
:)
 
what if theyve never had the chance to even believe a concept other than the one they were brought up with?

im thinking about tribes in the rainforest...for example, how would they be able to see any way of life other than how their elders brough them up?

those tribes may believe in "AHAD"!!! They may have faith that there is one supreme power ruling ova the world even if they are not aware of the beauty of the islamic religion, they still may feel the presence of Allah and therefore i believe Allah may have mercy on dem

but... then theres those people who have heard about islam, learnt about the one and hsi messenger and still dont believe in him... thats plane arrogance, they are the ones who Allah has shown the way yet they refuse to believe. So they are indeed doomed!

falsehood is an addiction
and non-muslims are making the best effort to make their way to jahannam. i dont feel sorry for all of them. they know that they are wrong. its just their hate towards the truth. but i do feel sorry sometimes when i think of the painful punishments of hell.
non-muslims dont realize that the biggest crime a human being can commit is disbelief in the Powerful Ruler and Master of this Universe - Allah, Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, the Most Merciful.
 
But what about non-Muslims who have never herd of Islam who are living in the deep dark jungles of the world, and worship no god. Is it fair for them to go to hell?
