I am a muslim girl. a very strong believer in God however i am a sinner and dont abide by islamic rules. i read quran on a daily basis and i am very much in touch with god spiritually. I dont practice islam but i usually make an effort to respect the holy month of ramadan. i will not be fasting this ramadan.I have a boyfriend. so already 2 things bad. i was wondering. if we are bad on one issue, would it matter if we for example try to abide by one single rule. for example, out of respect i dont want to drink in ramadan, but i will be sinning at the same time in other things. should i make the effort and do sthng right or that doesnt matter since a sinner is a sinner? and i would be considered a hypocrite?

Simply give your life to Jesus Christ and receive Him as your Lord and Savior...he loves you very much and died so your sins can be forgiven.
" I am The Way, The Truth, and The Life; no man can come to the Father except through me". -- Jesus Christ
" I am the resurrection and the life; he that believes in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live ; and whoever lives and believes in me shall never die". - Jesus (Jn. 11:25)
" He that comes to me I will in no way cast out".

answermeplz,
You are a sinner whether you observe Ramadan or not. You are a hypocrite whether you read the Koran everyday or not. Doing those things wont please God. Not doing those things will not make you in good standing with God. We all are the same with this.
But the only way to get into God's graces is not through the works of the shiriah law, but through the sacrifice by Jesus Christ. By trusting God for that sacrifice that He provided, you will be one of His children. And thus a citizen of a heavenly kingdom.

Dear sister in Islam, Asalam aleikoum, If u have a boyfriend and u sin alot then u should do alot of good things to like zakat (money to the poor) and many other things, as long as ur a muslims and u follow the basic rules. But the problem is that one of the 5 islamic rules is fasting ramadan, and u dont fast, if u dont fast because u r sick or there is a problem that is ok, but if u dont fast because u dont want to, then why. God is the one who gave u ur wealth, who gave u ur knowledge, who created the birds and skies, he created the earth and heavens in 7 days. To him u are one of 6 to 7 billion people, but if u go to god walking he'd come runnig. My point is, that something simple like fasting in the month that the holy book came to earth is something u should do, especially if it grants you eternity in heaven. Anyway its your decision, as i told u god will forgive u for anything exept the five main things.

Assalamu alaikum sister,
Thank you for asking this important question. In Islam sins do not mix in other words if you do not fast you will be accountable for that sin only, if you do not drink in Ramadhan you will be rewarded for that too (eventhough you are not fasting).
God is Most Merciful (as we say in Bismillah), so repent for your sins and Allah will forgive you. I hope you will leave the sinful life and join the Right Path. If your boyfriend is responsible for your sins then consider asking him to follow the Islamic rules. If he refuses, leave him - Allah will find you better one Inshallah. May Allah guide you sister.
Wassalam.

The first thing is it does not matter to GOD what you do if your not keeping His commandments. If you do not keep His law He does not even no who you are. The Holy bible says this. The God of Israel, the God of Abraham Issac and Jacob is the only and True God. Prais be to Him. The servants of God knows that they are sinners but they no not to sin willfully against God. They know to do Gods will and not there own.

You are not bad You are not sinning. Those a ssinnine rules are written by MEN... just MEN who dominate and dictate even cause harm to make the followers subservient. I see the muslim methods of prayer as self hypnosis or mass hysteria.
I hope you can see past your fear of offending God because he cannot be offended because you already love him just not the junk they preach. Good Luck! I wish all the best. be strong.

I'm a Christian, so I'm no expert on the Koran, but I believe that it says if you're unable to complete the fast of Ramadan, you're supposed to make it up at a later date.
And you have a boyfriend? I have nothing against this personally, especially if you're American, but many Muslims would look down on this.

I'm believe in 100% you did not read Quran in a daily basis. If you do I'm sure you will practice the guide rules as a muslims. Please dont lie anymore. Ramadhan is the best way to find your true identity.

My sensitive and sincere friend I am proud of you. You are very honest.First of all God almighty ALLHA will never hate you for being a sinner.The almighty has unconditional love for everybody. True Sinner is a person who does not have consciousness for his/her sins.The sinner repeatedly committing sins and has no guilty feelings and never question his/her deeds.While you have introspection of your deeds. If you cannot observe fasting in the month of Ramadan commit yourself to do it in another month in near future. Participate in the glory of ALMIGHTY,be receptive,tune yourself to listen to him and his wishes.You shall be fine.

Heaven is not graded on the curve, nor Hell for that matter. This is a problem that has plagued mankind always. We are sinful. We die because of it. It is justice that we die because God has said do not do these things, We need mercy. Jesus is merciful if one asks him to save them.
