things I like about Islam

Allah SWT is the creator. He would not need to be known as the creator without creation just like a painter is not a painter without paintings. Allah is the creator and always creates and we are one of those creations.

I get that part its the "fact" that he always existed with no cause that bugs me. Its even worse when a Muslim follows up by saying it is illogical of me to suggest that the universe has alwasy existed. But this is a topic for a diffrent thread. This is about what I like.

I thought that's enough of a cause.
Anyway Well I will add that to my like list. I like the fact that Allah SWT is the creator and has created a beautiful creation better than any painter and his paintings.
 
Hows about in islam you can be a women and devote your whole self to Allah SWT and then still marry and have kids while if your a nun devoting yourself then you can no longer get married or have kids. I think thats something I like about islam and atleast women don't miss out on alot of the good things in life, Cause I couldn't imagine my life now without my Son in it.

I like that too. That was a great one. Thank you :D
 
There is one thing in islam, which I think is amazing, and understated.
Islam is the people's religion. People decide for themselves, people raise their voices against even the caliph, question even the prophet.

If it was a manufactured, or heavily distorted religion, it would be really silly to make a religion like this to rule the masses.

Greetings and peace be with you ATHEISTofPEACE;

I was hoping other non Muslims could join me in saying what we like about Islam

I like the way Muslims pray five times a day, their sincere faith and trust in God, and how their bring their families up, I like many of the Muslims on this forum. We are all created by the same God.

Anyways every week Campus Crusaders for Christ meet up. I am almost there offical atheist member. I was thinking I could go one time and argue that Islam is more right then Christianity. It would be easyer then saying you are just wrong lol. What do you guys think?

Mick I am confused, how do you go about interfaith relations if your joy is in debating and almost taking sides?

In the spirit of praying for greater interfaith friendship and peace on Earth,

Eric

Peace Eric,


I like the way Muslims pray five times a day

this is actually a misconception, we don't pray 5 times a day, we perform Salat 5 times a day. we pray ALL DAY LONG!

the Arabic at the time of the Prophet, Salla Allahu Alayhe wa Salaam, is on a different/higher level than English. Salat IS translated as prayer, but only to give it a description that others understand. what we call du'a [supplication to Allah, Subhannahu Wa Ta' Aala] IS prayer! there are du'as is Salat, but Salat is formal worship done in a specific manner.

we make du'a when we: wake up, go to the bathroom, exit the bathroom, bfore we eat, after we eat, when we wash or make wuduu, when we finsh making wuduu, when we leave the house, when we enter the house, when we start a journey, when we finish a journey, when we greet each other, etc. we seek Allah, Subhannahu Wa Ta' Aala's Protection and Blessings through out the entire day.

Mufti Ismail Menk describes it a bit here:

i urge you to watch it and, In Sha'a Allah, you will understand what i mean. and of course, i urge our Atheist companion to watch as well.

:w:
 
Alhamdulillah, I like everything about Islam.
Its the perfect system for mankind.
 
@ Eric I am working hard on your question to show you where we are not seeing eye to eye. For now I will just say that what you assumed with your question is not so. I mean when I do "host" interfaith talks I will not debate nor take sides. When I go to CCC means I am not doing interfaith talks it is me and a bunch of Christians.

Would you like me to make a thread "what I like about Christianity" Cause there are somethings I like about it more. These things are more emotional appeal.


@YusufNoor I am aware of that. =D I will watch the vido as soo as I can

@sabeeha Of course you do. What do you think about the things me and Eric have said we liked? Do you like anything about Islam more then something else?
 
I love my status as a Muslim woman in Islam :) Islam has risen the status of the Muslim woman in such a manner, I have yet to see given to other women.

How's about you become muslim first and then try to spread the word. I think that is a better proposition.

Sometimes being the 3rd party allows one to remain more rational. I am not saying a Christian or Muslim isn't rational but one who follows a faith tends to be more biased towards what they believe in. One issue you can run into (and this can be a biggie) as a 3rd party is that you might represent a religion falsely since you don't fully believe in it, follow it, or over time correctly learn it.

Both halves of what you said are true.
 
What do I like about Islam?

The Muslims - the people. I enjoy talking religion. Their discussions always make my own faith and understanding of Christianity grow much stronger. They ask great questions.

Actually some would say that a pagan experience was adopted by Islam. Mohammad did the very same thing some of the later church fathers did by getting rid of the idols and inserting a different meaning into the pagan event.

If I wasn't Christian I would be Jewish.
