Hi joanna.


Masha'Allaah, i was kinda shocked.. i thought your son was about to pass away.. the ending of that part was shocking lol, alhamdulillah thats really kool that he's still alive. :)


Do you still have more to write? I'm not really into debates, so i'd rather discuss if you want to later on..



Our view as muslims is that we worship the Creator Alone, and Jesus (peace be upon him) wasn't the son of God/Allaah (in arabic.) Jesus (peace be upon him) is a respected messenger from Allaah [who came to the children of Isra'eel - to guide them back to the right guidance], and he brought the same message as all the previos prophets (starting from Adam) - worship your Creator Alone, without no associates. (this mean's that you obey Allah, His messengers, and abstain from evil (don't associate partners with Allah; i.e. idols, humans, lusts & desires, any other law than the law of Allaah, the Creator), however if someone does do evil - they should repent sincerely to their Creator and follow islamic monotheism and Allaah will forgive the persons previos sins.)


This means that if we help the needy, we do it to please Allaah. If we smile at someone, it is to make the person happy - and making that person happy is a way of worshipping Allaah because you're making a person happy (which Allah loves) to please Allah. It is also to establish prayer, give to the needy etc.


Islaam mean's submission to the Creator, and therefore if we obey Allaah - we will be rewarded with paradise, whereas those who reject the commands of their Creator, and choose to follow their lusts and desires over the commandments of their Creator, then their rejecting Allaah. Rejecting your Creator, and being ungrateful to Him for His blessings upon you is a really sad thing, would you be happy if someone was unthankful to you for all the good you had given them?



But Allaah still remains patient and if a person was in this world, and strived to do good (maybe for fame, or money etc.) - Allaah will bless them with that, but because they never had the intention for the hereafter - then they will be rewarded in this world only, but they will be losers in the hereafter. Do you feel that is fair? Because if that person's only striving for this life, then their not really believing in the hereafter, which means that their getting what they've wanted (the riches/popularity of this world etc.)



We all will die, and we will all be brought back to life again. If Allaah can create us once, it is easy for Him to create us again. On this day, He will judge between us all on all that we did in this world. The one's who believed and obeyed Allaah's messengers will be rewarded with an eternal paradise, whereas those who rejected Allaah, and associated partners with Him, then they will be punished due to the fact that they rejected Allaah's commandments, because they rejected His messengers, and they thought the promises of Allaah and His messengers were just 'tales of old.'




Allaah Almighty know's best.


If you got any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. :)

Greetings Joanna,

I enjoyed reading your story of how you became an agnostic; thankyou for taking the time to write it for us!

I thought I should just mention that we do have some threads on this topic, and you might be interested to have a look at some of them - the following one has some useful links in post #11:

I was also thinking that you might want to split this discussion into a new thread, so that it becomes separate from your introductory thread. If you agree, one of the moderators can kindly move it somewhere appropriate.

Peace.
