ONLY FOR RELIGIOUS:can u tell me?

Question

i wanna know what is the most religious story u have ever read.
let`s share our stories.

Answer 1

I'm a muslim, so I'll give you an example from Islam of the early muslims at the time of the prophet Muhammad(S.A.W) and the link to a website with plenty more:

Muadh Ibn Jabal:
When the noble Prophet reached Madinah, Muadh ibn Jabal stayed in his company as much as possible. He studied the Qur'an and the laws of Islam until he became one of the most well-versed of all the companions in the religion of Islam.

Wherever Muadh went, people would refer to him for legal judgements on matters over which they differed. This is not strange since he was brought up in the school of the Prophet himself and learnt as much as he could from him.

He was the best pupil of the best teacher. His knowledge bore the stamp of authenticity..

The best certificate that he could have received came from the Prophet himself when he said:

"The most knowledgeable of my ummah in matters of halal and haram is Muadh ibn Jabal."

One of the greatest of Muadh's contributions to the ummah of Muhammad was that he was one of the group of six who collected the Qur'an during the lifetime of the Prophet, peace be upon him. Whenever a group of companions met and Muadh was among them, they would look at him with awe and respect on account of his knowledge. The Prophet and his two Khalifahs after him placed this unique gift and power in the service of Islam.

After the liberation of Makkah, the Quraysh became Muslims en masse. The Prophet immediately saw the need of the new Muslims for teachers to instruct them in the fundamentals of Islam and to make them truly understand the spirit and letter of its laws. He appointed Attab ibn Usay as his deputy in Makkah and he asked Muadh ibn Jabal to stay with him and teach people the Qur'an and instruct them in the religion.

Sometime after the Prophet had returned to Madinah, messengers of the kings of Yemen came to him announcing that they and the people of Yemen had become Muslims. They requested that some teachers should be with them to teach Islam to the people. For this task the Prophet commissioned a group of competent du'at (missionaries) and made Muadh ibn Jabal their amir. He then put the following question to Muadh:

"According to what will you judge?"

"According to the Book of God," replied Muadh.

"And if you find nothing therein?"

"According to the Sunnah of the Prophet of God."

"And if you find nothing therein?"

"Then I will exert myself (exercise ijtihad) to form own judgement." The Prophet was pleased with this reply and said:

"Praise be to God Who has guided the messenger of the Prophet to that which pleases the Prophet."

The Prophet personally bade farewell to this mission of guidance and light and walked for some distance alongside Muadh as he rode out of the city. Finally he said to him:

"O Muadh, perhaps you shall not meet me again after this year. Perhaps when you return you shall see only my mosque and my grave."

Muadh wept. Those with him wept too. A feeling of sadness and desolation overtook him as he parted from his beloved Prophet, peace and blessings of God be on him.

The Prophet's premonition was correct. The eyes of Muadh never beheld the Prophet after that moment. The Prophet died before Muadh returned from the Yemen. There is no doubt that Muadh wept when he returned to Madinah and found there was no longer the blessed company of the Prophet.

Answer 2

I am partial to the "Sayings of the Desert Fathers" which you can find online. It is a collection of stories and sayings. Confessions by St. Augustine is also very wonderful. For a fantasy work, I think Lord of the Rings is the most religious piece of fiction.

Answer 3

Outside of the Bible I would go with Pilgrims Progress by Bunyan. Its the story of Christian on his journey from the city of destruction to the city on a hill. Has characters like faithful and hopeful, also worldly wiseman and giant despair. Great Book

Answer 4

i was drug addict lost my job house everything including freedom. I was at church in jail one night (Yes they have it there if anyone WANTS to go !) I don't remember what the preacher was talking about i only went to get out of my cell up till this point i really did not know if GOD was there or not. But anyway they called us up to the alter and he started praying for me all of the sudden i felt like someone i just lifted away all the pain and the hate from me. that was 3 years ago, have not touched a drug since now i have a beautiful baby and wonderful husband. that was all the proof that i need that GOD does exists and loves us even if we reject him.


did not read it..... lived it

Answer 5

I don't know what you mean by religious, but I can tell you a story that has to do with Christians and a particular church.

This man had Tourettes and would cuss up a storm. When things get quiet, he gets worse. He'd yell out random words and some of them were cuss words. He was rejected. He would not attend church because of this and was asked to leave other churches. My aunt and her group of friend/fellow church members heard about him and went to him. Told him to come to their church and they would welcome him with open arms. And they did.

That story inspires me.

Answer 6

If you only want one kind of person to answer your question then you will never learn the true joy of differences and mind opening views. There is a story for you, short and sweet. God love all living things. Don't limit yourself.

Answer 7

Does spiritual count? I don't consider myself to be religious only for the reason that the only thing religion has done is divide the peoples of the earth while spirituality brings people together.

Answer 8

Adam and Eve ate a snake. The snake turned into an octopus in their stomaches. When the octopus was reborn from a virgin fawn, the star shone overhead until the barn was flooded. Amen.

Answer 9

That would be the story of when God kills everyone (men, women, children, infants, newborns) in Sodom and Gomorrah by raining "fire and brimstone from the Lord out of heaven." Well, almost everyone -- he spares the "just and righteous" Lot and his family.

It's in the bible and you can read that and many cruel and violent stories of the bible here:
