Ask Me Any Questions About Islam

I beg to differ from your views. If god is within you, then god is weak. Then there are so many billions of gods around. So now you got evil gods and good gods. You also then have gay gods and lesbian gods. Baby gods and senile gods, etc. Dont have to look far. Just take a look and your hands. Why are all our human hands are the same? Why are legs, eyes, ears comes in pairs? There is one same creator that created all this and its must a supreme being. It can't another human or animals. It is must almighty. Our task in this mundane world to search for the answers. Many answers are given to man and man joted them down in books. You decide on which to follow. If you want to fix a bicycle, what do you do? You look at the manual. You can't just have the inspiration in your body to fix a bicycle. Thats food for thoughts. We have a brain, use it!

I don't feel that organized religion is for me personally, but it does have many upsides. The money that organizations like churches accept usually goes to community outreach and to keep the building in good working condition. Many people find a lot of support with that community; throughout our lives we all go through sicknesses, deaths, and other hardships - for many people, they know they can turn to other church members in times of need. They also can be there for others. If you have a smart, interested speaker, you can also learn a lot by attending. When we're going through something rough, we don't always have the perspective we need to persevere... sometimes, for some people, they can find this from a religious community. Again, it's not for me, and I definitely agree that there are very many drawbacks... but just because it is often a medium for intolerant and hateful people to come together doesn't make it all bad.

Thanks Hotpress. You have made my day. I was close but did not know about the sweat. I always thought it was the pig was unclean because he garbage and lived in mud. Sure puts a new light on the subject.

Thanks mohdglobal. I have nade a note of it and when I get the chance I will certainly check it out because I really do want to find out why the fanatics (not sure that is the right word) commit such heinous acts in the name of Jihad. Was hoping that hotpress would give me a response.

Maybe you can check out more info here. http://www.islamonline.net/english/index.shtml Hope this can help.

Mohammed himself led the first jihad. At the battle of Badr, the Muslims were outnumbered by the Meccans. The Prophet was worried and prayed fervently. Nine hundred well armed Meccans with seven hundred camels and a hundred horses faced three hundred Muslims.The Prophet's jihad continued and the Muslims were defeated at the battle of Uhud. What happened was that a group of archers disobeyed orders to guard the rear, rushed forward to get their share of booty, thinking that victory was theirs. This allowed the Meccans to launch a cavalry charge into the opening and won the day. But Muslims found victory in defeat. The Muslims lost because of the sin of greed for gold. The Muslims learned the lesson that sin leads to defeat. Defeat on the battlefield thus led them to victory in the higher jihad - the inner struggle to purify oneself of sin. The Koran said in 3:139: "Lose not heart, nor fall into despair: for ye must gain mastery if ye are true in faith." This spiritual renewal will pave their way to eventual victory. Verse 3:166 says: " What ye suffered on the day the two armies met, was with the leave of Allah, in order that He might test the believers."

Really! Wow, you certainly don't hear that on the news! We hear just the opposite so no wonder there is so much hatred. :_( Thanks for the response. :)

It isn't religion what has caused almost all of the strife in the world. It is the abuse of religion.

Thank you for answering that for me skulls (5). I was taking a short break. You are correct, but also know that it mainly originated in Allahs's (swa)Kingdom since the question was asking from where Islam originated.

Islam startr at Mekkah now call Saudi Arabia. it is spread by Rasolullah Muhammad

I joined only a few minutes ago and I read the guidelines. I didn't see talking about religions wasn't allowed here.
