Answer 1

And you also pronounce your D sounds by placing your tongue in the middle of the roof your mouth and it's very annoying.

Answer 2

i m pretty impressed with the hindus reach culture, tradition and values....Whenever i visit India, i always feel a personal attachment to the land...i love the food, the people, the culture, the tradition, i even go to temples to see the amazing ways people worship, i love India.....
Hindus consider all living beings sacred bcs they r living beings, and most hindus are vegetarian....they respect the fact tht life cannot be taken from a living being...but sadly, the population of India is effecting the country as a whole...its just too crowded....

Answer 3

Well I am sure the rats appreciate that. I know GOD does not.

The creator of the universe has told us that we are to worship only the LORD GOD almighty. IF we put anything ahead of GOD, that thing we put ahead of HIM becomes an idol.

My friend, I bet there not not one rat that would not bite you in the butt because you worshiped it. Not one would for a moment keep from spreading deadly diseases to you by contaminating your food supply. Most of all, not one would die so that you could live. JESUS DID!

Answer 4

Answer is YES I KNOW, but between the lines it says, Give a comment so here it goes:
If all lift sacred, why all hindus are not vegetarians, why vegetable fields are sprayed with insecticides, why if they get sick, they use medicine to kill bacteria and viruses.
Question could be raised, are plants, insects and micro organisms are not life forms?
If we come to that turning point when we have the truth in front, we should grab it, because may be God will not give us another chance.
May Allah guide us to the right path.

Answer 5

This is too extreme, worship God and God alone, I think He's insulted knowing you have a temple dedicated to rats? Come on! I think I'm insulted! lol

Answer 6

Abraham Debates With Idol Worshipers


[6:74] Recall that Abraham said to his father Azar, "How could you worship statues as gods? I see that you and your people have gone far astray."

[6:75] We showed Abraham the marvels of the heavens and the earth, and blessed him with certainty:

[6:76] When the night fell, he saw a shining planet. "Maybe this is my Lord," he said. When it disappeared, he said, "I do not like (gods) that disappear."

[6:77] When he saw the moon rising, he said, "Maybe this is my Lord!" When it disappeared, he said, "Unless my Lord guides me, I will be with the strayers."

[6:78] When he saw the sun rising, he said, "This must be my Lord. This is the biggest." But when it set, he said, "O my people, I denounce your idolatry.

[6:79] "I have devoted myself absolutely to the One who initiated the heavens and the earth; I will never be an idol worshiper."

[6:80] His people argued with him. He said, "Do you argue with me about GOD, after He has guided me? I have no fear of the idols you set up. Nothing can happen to me, unless my Lord wills it. My Lord's knowledge encompasses all things. Would you not take heed?

[6:81] "Why should I fear your idols? It is you who should be afraid, since you worship instead of GOD idols that are utterly powerless to help you. Which side is more deserving of security, if you know?"

Perfect Security for Believers

[6:82] Those who believe, and do not pollute their belief with idol worship, have deserved the perfect security, and they are truly guided.

[6:83] Such was our argument, with which we supported Abraham against his people. We exalt whomever we will to higher ranks. Your Lord is Most Wise, Omniscient.

[6:84] And we granted him Isaac and Jacob, and we guided both of them. Similarly, we guided Noah before that, and from his descendants (we guided) David, Solomon, Job, Joseph, Moses, and Aaron. We thus reward the righteous.

[6:85] Also, Zachariah, John, Jesus, and Elias; all were righteous.

[6:86] And Ismail, Elisha, Jonah, and Lot; each of these we distinguished over all the people.

[6:87] From among their ancestors, their descendants, and their siblings, we chose many, and we guided them in a straight path.

[6:88] Such is GOD's guidance, with which He guides whomever He chooses from among His servants. Had any of them fallen into idolatry, their works would have been nullified.

[6:89] Those were the ones to whom we have given the scripture, wisdom, and prophethood. If these people disbelieve, we will substitute others in their place, and the new people will not be disbelievers.

[6:90] These are the ones guided by GOD; you shall be guided in their footsteps. Say, "I do not ask you for any wage. This is but a message for all the people."

God's Messages to the World

[6:91] They never valued GOD as He should be valued. Thus, they said, "GOD does not reveal anything to any human being." Say, "Who then revealed the scripture that Moses brought, with light and guidance for the people?" You put it down on paper to proclaim it, while concealing a lot of it. You were taught what you never knew - you and your parents. Say, "GOD (is the One who revealed it)," then leave them in their heedlessness, playing.

[6:92] This too is a blessed scripture that we have revealed, confirming the previous scriptures, that you may warn the most important community and all those around it. Those who believe in the Hereafter will believe in this (scripture), and will observe the Contact Prayers (Salat).
