Answer 2

they could be (fairly) erroneous, yet they are nonetheless muslims. it fairly is authentic that allah knows terrific. yet we could submit to in innovations that there are various diverse shias like how there are various diverse sunnis. There are shias who do no longer those loopy stuff (alongside with beating themselves.) 2 me, all people who says the 1st kalima is a muslim. in spite of the incontrovertible fact that lots of them do shirk. . . (alongside with going around Husain's/ali's physique as though became into the kaaba). shall we basically choose that allah courses them

Answer 3

Isaiah 9:6
6 For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, [b] Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.


The child born is Jesus - Mighty God.

Since you were quoting from Isaiah, here's proof of Jesus divinity in Isaiah.

Allah is not the same as the Christian God. Although Islam teaches that Allah is the god of Abraham, Moses, etc., he is not. God is never changing - He did not change from the time Jesus walked the Earth to 400 years later when Muhammad walked the Earth. His message did not change. Muhammad did not have to correct Jesus' message. Jesus said He was the Messiah referring to the above mentioned verse. Jesus said He was 'I AM' referring to the scriptures where Moses asked God to tell him who He was. Jesus said He was the Son of God. He asked Peter who Peter thought Jesus was - Peter replied that he was the Messiah and the Son of God. Jesus affirmed this.

Islam believes Muhammad to be a prophet. Yet, Jesus Himself said there would be no more prophets after John the Baptist. Islam believes Jesus is a prophet. Yet Jesus Himself said He was God, the Son of God.

Answer 4

It is a good definition, but i have something to say, but when questions are asked it is taken as criticism, or treated as blasphemous. Not to offend but it is time the muslim community really answer us to clarify us. When they find no answers they get angry. Watchout for the following sentence, "and anyone thinks muslims are ........" and you have already showed anger.

Submitting to the will of God....makes one believe good or evil is the will of God. Belief is the base for behavior. And the behavior of Muslims are evident around they are killing in the name of Allah, Do you think Allah is divisive? Why are muslims excluding everyone who is not a muslim, Allah as far as i believe is Inclusive, he made the world and every one is included. we are all one. Muslims say they believe in Moses, Jesus and Mohammad, they say the religions of a BOOk is acceptable, and one can inter marry.
Let me ask you a question...If allah kept sending prophets, like the above and sent Torah, the Bible, and say the Quaran, is the perfected book, or a completed book of instructions on how to lead a pious life. ARE you saying Allah is making mistakes and sending in new editions? He is learning from his mistakes and making changes, if so is there something else comming?
Where is the rational? Muslims do not want to think because of their belief system, and theydont like anyone challenging their thoughts because everything happens with the will of God,
Illiteracy, ill health, depression, domestic violence, unhygenic conditions, poverty, poor mental health, and suicide is highest.
Seeing people suffer saddens me. I always reach out to help but they are not willing to make changes even if their myths are not giving them results. Do you think Allah is happy to see his creatures suffer? There are passages in the Quran which talks about what one should do to relatives who give up Islam? Killing them is prescribed. And Islam talks about being a tolerant religion if Allah has given us brains why are we not allowed to choose something. How can you say he has given the choice of choosing the right , if choosing the right and not the wrong then what is freedom. To choose only one is not freedom. I wonder what freedom do you muslims have. And Freedom is the birthright of all on earth, in freedom we exercise our thoughts.
Its time for muslims to wake up and use their brains, they are wiling to wait for life after death without having a life after Birth! How can enter Paradise when your soul is trapped inside and has not expressed its self. Only souls that have found a way to express will reach paradise, depression, anger, jealousy, hatred, suicide, are all the cry of the soul for liberation. Imagine Muslims are taking their souls in seed form which was given to them by Allah for it to grow into a tree.

Answer 5

You seem to have answered your own question. I have met thousands of Muslims and many more Christians. Good and bad are found everywhere

Answer 6

Praise be to Allaah.

Islam means submitting to Allaah, worshipping Him alone and obeying Him, and shunning shirk (polytheism, associating others with Allaah) and those who believe in that. This is the religion which Allaah approves for His slaves. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Truly, the religion with Allaah is Islam”

[Aal- ‘Imraan 3:19]

“And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers”

[Aal ‘Imraan 3:85]

The person who enters this religion is called a Muslim (one who submits), because he has submitted (aslama) to all the rulings that have come from Allaah and from the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And who turns away from the religion of Ibraaheem (Abraham) (i.e. Islamic Monotheism) except him who befools himself? Truly, We chose him in this world and verily, in the Hereafter he will be among the righteous.

When his Lord said to him, ‘Submit (i.e. be a Muslim)!’ He said, ‘I have submitted myself (as a Muslim) to the Lord of the ‘Aalameen (mankind, jinn and all that exists).’” [al-Baqarah 2:130-131]

“Yes, but whoever submits his face (himself) to Allaah (i.e. follows Allaah’s religion of Islamic Monotheism) and he is a Muhsin ( a doer of good who does good deeds solely for the sake of Allaah) then his reward is with his Lord (Allaah), on such shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve”

[al-Baqarah 2:112].
