Religion & Spirituality - 22 October 2006

its so sad to see so many Muslims getting Islam confused with culture and culture confused with Islam.
like for example honor killings.that is a cultural practice.but many Muslims confuse it with something islamic.and the hijab some say its culture but its islamic.or i heard one whacked out thing where in pakistain the mother of he groom will wait outside his door for her son to bring a tissue of blood to prove the girl he married was a virgin.and they clam this is islamic?this is something is cultural and preverted.

may allah save of all!

does that indicate that it was mostly plagiarised from the pagan religions?

I was a Christian, until this July- I lost all my faith then. I started being a Chrsitian, because I was going through a hard time, and I looked on God for help, and things got much better. I loved God. But then, this year, my dad got so mad @ me while he was abusing me (my parents have a really bad anger-management problem), he almost kicked me out of my house. (he didn't tho) And the next month came, with more abuse, and self-hatered, and one night, I thought "why doesn't God help me? WHY DOES GOD LET ME GO THROUGH ALL THIS, WHILE OTHER KIDS DON'T? Does God even love me? Why? Am I not good enough for him? And if I am, and he does lvove me, why does he let me suffer like this?" And since most of my friends are super-good chirstians, the ppl @ my parent's church are mean, I can't tell anyone this, or ask these questions... So if you're a Christian, and you're reading this, please tell me why, and why I should start believeing in God again. Thanks

ourselves.

there has been a Islamic scholars who have said that the reason why there is so many problems in the Muslim lands is because our disobedience towards Allah. and this is true.
if you look at the majority of muslims lands now they allow such things as drinking,gambling, pre-martial sex,homsexuality, forcing women to take off the hijab and many more(and we wonder why so many bad things our happening to us).do you think its about time we start foucusing on allah and worshiping him instead of blaming the west on the problems with the muslims.

this could a punished on the muslim ummah(allah knows best) and we don't even realize it.

Jews Do you believe in creationism Adam and Eve?

Creationists, have you ever wondered in this world, what ever prevails is usually implemented either by force or by consensus and lastly if it is true.
Darwin and many researchers have conclusively proved evolution by tonnes of research, analysis etc.
1)Apes have finger prints like humans
2)99% of their DNA matches with us
Not only the above facts there is tonnes of more proof.
In all major schools and universities of the World Evolution theory is taught, museums also show the Darwin theory.
If your creationist theory had any base or credibility than should not the US govt and European govt be teaching creationism in all schools and colleges and universities.
Christians in this world are more than a handful of scientist, but have you seen that their work of evolution has prevailed in Knowledge Sectors(schools etc) rather then your theories of creationism.
Scientists have neither used force nor do many reigious people believe in it .Their work prevails because of the fact that it is true and if not true than far more closer to it than creationist theory.

I know what my religion is. It is the religion of devotion. Selfless devotion to God, walking steadfastly with God and making all actions as an offering to Him. One should strive for perfect selfless compassion for fellow creatures.
What is this religion?

I struggle and feel I will never be happy. The man I married seems very self-centered at times and all we do is argue. My daughter is depressed (and I think I am too) and our family life is so unhappy, yet we have every reason to be happy in many ways. I wish my husband would agree to go to church or something because life seems to have no meaning and I often think that if we had some kind of religious or spiritual core we would be happier. My husband is an atheist and I have a hard time believing specific dogma. I am a Unitarian at heart but I still struggle with life's meaning and how to function in day-to-day life when life just seems so hard.

it sounds kinda harsh especially since its human nature to believe in logic such as science.

As soon as someone shows some interest towards another Path Immediatly look horrified and either start quoting from the Bible, tell them they are doomed or tell them to go and read the bible. Why can they not leave them to follow thier own faith?

A Muslim explained it this way:

"why are the shiahs killing the sunnis?!!!! they're both killing each other TODAY over who gets to be in charge of Iraq!!!!!!! they are fighting over Political control and NOT because of religion.
the Iraqis have been living under such a weired climate for so long. and they just don't get along so every sect THINKS that they are more capable of running the government.
Shiahs made an alliance with the US Army and therefore Sunnis consider them traitors..
it's a CIVIL WAR!! even the US had one of those. "

So it's a religious war now between the one Islam...the ONE Islam. Hmmmm

I heard Catholics preaching against Yoga, saying it was pagan, and that it called up evil spirits of Hinduism. They criticized everything about my God.

And I was thinking of joining them?!

I'm so frustrated.

I need a spirituality that I can practice openly. And I can't find it. This is annoying.
