I've seen/read thousand of debates concerning Islam vs Christian, Bible vs Quran, Jesus vs Muhammad, etc. All have their own arguments, and it seems to me that it would lead to nothing. They're all have been trying to use their knowledge/resources to support their arguments and to prove that the other sides are wrong. But I have one most important thing that we all need to consider:
1. Are true (not fake) muslims (or 'Allah' or Muhammad followers) believe that they will go to heaven (instead of hell)? Any guarantee for it?
2. What about christians (The follower of Christ 'not' just fake christian)? Is there any guarantee for being saved and go to heaven?

Yep. Thanks for all your answers guys. For those who do not believe that God (heaven) does exist I hope you'll find the truth, that sooner or later we're all gonna die and what would happen then? Nothing? If that so why don't we all just do whatever we want, we don't have to care about our thoughts, human's feeling, and others. If that so I think we're simply no better than animals. Animals don't care about all this stuff, because there's gonna be nothing after they perish. Why then we should be bothered about love?

My family background are muslims. But I have some questions about it.
1. Don't you think it's bizzare that all prophets are Jewish except Muhammad?
2. Why when we're praying we should face to Mekkah?
3. Why we should do pilgrim? Does 'Allah' only exists in Arab?
4. As far as I concern, muslims are worshipping Muhammad more than 'Allah'?
5. If Quran is 'true', why do we need thousand of confusing hadiths which are only the words of Muhammad (not Allah's)?
6. We always pray that Muhammad may be rest in peace in heaven? If we're not sure whether he's gonna be in heaven or not, what about us?
7. If bible is corrupted, than why our prophets are the same as written in Bible? After I've read bible, it tells all the prophets in clear and chronological way (but not the Quran)

When you say guarantee! what actually you mean?

Quran is guarantee..
Now you will ask guanrantee about Quran...
Now you questions
1. Don't you think it's bizzare that all prophets are Jewish except Muhammad?
This is funny question, the known judaism started only after Moses and all prophets before Moses PBUH were non-jews. Quran mentions Mostly Prophets from semitic lineage, but also says that there are other Prophets whose names are not mentioned.
2. Why when we're praying we should face to Mekkah?
This is God's choice. Prophet Mohammed used to face Jerusalem before facing to makkah.
3. Why we should do pilgrim? Does 'Allah' only exists in Arab?
Again this is God's favour and choice for some place. For sometime Israelites were chosen nation, you can't argues God's selection. Can you ask same question to chrsitian why Jesus was born to jewish woman.
4. As far as I concern, muslims are worshipping Muhammad more than 'Allah'?
This may be true wrt your family background, but in general its not correct. This comments is true indication of your mindset. You hate Islam for some reason and just associate lies. You are a lier.
5. If Quran is 'true', why do we need thousand of confusing hadiths which are only the words of Muhammad (not Allah's)?
What's wrong with this? man ask some sensible question. You mean if Quran is true there shouldn't be hadith or if hadith is there means Quran is not true. This is stupid logic. ask some sensible question
6. We always pray that Muhammad may be rest in peace in heaven? If we're not sure whether he's gonna be in heaven or not, what about us?
This is only expression of our Grtitude to Prophet Mohammed. and we don't says "he may rest in peace" this again is you negative mindset. we only say "May peace be upon him" the word "rest" is derived by your filthy mindset.
7. If bible is corrupted, than why our prophets are the same as written in Bible? After I've read bible, it tells all the prophets in clear and chronological way (but not the Quran).
First of all Quran is not the book of history, so you should not expect chronological order. Second when we say bible is corrupt doesn't mean that every this wrong. There are many similarities between Quran and bible.

There aren't really any guarantees in life, and the only answer you can get for this is someone else's opinion which ultimately is as much of a guess as your own.

In particular I want to respond to this question:
"...sooner or later we're all gonna die and what would happen then? Nothing? If that so why don't we all just do whatever we want, we don't have to care about our thoughts, human's feeling, and others. If that so I think we're simply no better than animals. Animals don't care about all this stuff, because there's gonna be nothing after they perish. Why then we should be bothered about love?"

Actually there are lots of reasons for love and moral behavior even without an afterlife. If you are interested in that topic there is a wealth of information to be found in the philosophy of ethics. Here is a good starting point: http://www.iep.utm.edu/e/ethics.htm

And as for animals, I don't think you give them enough credit. Get to know a non-human and you will be surprised by their capacities for love. Animals do care about that stuff and humans are no exception.

"1. Don't you think it's bizzare that all prophets are Jewish except Muhammad?"

Seeing as Islam branched off from Judaism this isn't so strange.

2-5 I don't know enough of the particulars of Islam to answer
"2. Why when we're praying we should face to Mekkah?
3. Why we should do pilgrim? Does 'Allah' only exists in Arab?
4. As far as I concern, muslims are worshipping Muhammad more than 'Allah'?
5. If Quran is 'true', why do we need thousand of confusing hadiths which are only the words of Muhammad (not Allah's)?"

"6. We always pray that Muhammad may be rest in peace in heaven? If we're not sure whether he's gonna be in heaven or not, what about us?"

That's the question isn't it? really you can't ever be sure, you have to just decide what you believe for yourself

"7. If bible is corrupted, than why our prophets are the same as written in Bible? After I've read bible, it tells all the prophets in clear and chronological way (but not the Quran)"

Again, Islam and Christianity share a lot of the same roots in Judaism. As the traditions diverge, you have different groups of people telling the stories from their own point of view with their own interpretations. Thus, slightly differing accounts of the same events.

You are right to ask questions...and it shows you have been thinking. I will only quote God...that is the one true God, Jehovah....and what He stated from the beginning.

The conflicts you see are because Muhammad came along and changed things....and God clearly stated you cannot change or add one jot to his Word....He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

But what Muhammad did is come along and because of his own hatred for the Jews, made up his own Allah....and list of rules....which is why there are some things that sound the same, and many which have been diverted into his teachings. You can't believe the one true God, and also Allah....or Muhammad.

From the beginning God (the one true God) had a plan to save mankind. Adam and Eve brought sin into the world. Everyone born after that inherits that same sinful nature, but God had a plan to save them from hell. The only way was for someone without sin to die in their place...so He sent His only Son, Jesus to die for the sins of everyone. He also rose again on the third day, because He was also God's Son, and He lives in heaven today.

You asked is there any guarantee to be saved? Yes...God"s plan was the guarantee. He said "whosoever will believe on His Son, will be saved," "He who has the Son, has Life (eternal life) and "He who has not the Son, shall not see Life" but is condemned already. Accepting Jesus' price He paid for you is the answer.

Satan is the ruler of this world and thru lies and deceit will try to keep as many as possible fooled into hell. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the Life...no man(meaning man or woman) comes to the Father, but by Me."

God gives the choice and says to search for Him with all your heart and He will reveal Himself to you. I think you are already searching. Ask God...not Allah...to show you...and He will.

I heard one Muslim say he realized the truth when he started asking why Allah was a God of Hate, but Christians had a God of Love. Good question. God says we love Him, because He first loved us. He planned to save you...but you have to listen to what He says.

The Bible is His Words...they don't need anything added. Read them and He will show you the truth.

According to the Muslim Scripture, this decision will depend on each and every task that you have done in your life. There will be scales for virtue and scales for sin (metaphorically speaking). Every act of the life along with its INTENT will be weighed and then the decision will be made.
In Islam, it is the intent behind every act that matters; THAT determines whether it was a virtue or not because in this religion God knows the secrets of the hearts and the mind.
I will quote this verse to let you know that being Muslim does NOT guarantee eternal abode in heaven:
(From the Quran)
002-062 Lo! Those who believe , and those who are Jews, and Christians, and Sabaeans - whoever believeth in God and the Last Day and doeth right - surely their reward is with their Lord, and there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve.

Being a Muslim does not make you buy a ticket in Heaven.
The Christian doctrine is that whoever believes in Jesus as the Savior, he/she will end up in Paradise.
Cheers and God bless.

Not all Muslims will go directly to hell, because Muslims are not perfect. EVERYONE must go to hell to repent for their sins (some people might stay longer than others and some people will not even go, they're that perfect)

There is no guarantee for Muslims to go to heaven. You just have to trust that you are doing the right thing. Muslims are NOT allowed to condemn anyone to hell, as well. It is absolutely forbidden. Only God can condemn anyone to hell.

We believe that Allah is all merciful. If someone did not know they were doing wrong, they will not be punished for it, which is why kids are not judged until they reach puberty. Because they know very little of wrong and right.

First of all no Holy Prophet was opponent of other Prophet.
Therefore no chances of Prophet Muhammad vs. Prophet Jesus things.
All Holy Prophets were Highly respectful.
They all came with common Message ,worship one God Almighty.
Submit completely to will of God Almighty.

When some one submits completely to our Creator, Provider, Sustainer, i.e. God Almighty, called Muslim.
All Prophets of God by this definition were Muslims.

God Almighty promised He will reward if we follow His Commands. It is God's promise not Human's.

Muslim means not just by name , but by Actions, Attitude, Behavior. We will enjoy fruits of God's promise Insha-Allah.

Like I have heard before nobody has ever come back after dying to let us know what is there and what GOD says. I've seen so many people hide behind their religion. They do bad things and justify it with God. Just because you go to church does not mean you will be saved. What you bring into the life of others is what counts.

I am the Way the Truth and the Life no man comes to the Father but by me... John 14 anyone who has not accepted Christ into their life, will not enter into Heaven.
For God loved the world do much that He gave His only Son that whoever believes in Him will not persish but have life everlasting.
John 3:16 NLV

It is the realm of the unknown, so there can never be a guarantee.What are fake Muslims and Christians? Is anyone 100% true to their religions? I think you can answer your own questions. Have a nice stay on Earth.
