listen to His teaching

Answer 2

1. Allah (SWT) 'God' is only 'One', has no partner or son, and neither gives birth, nor is He born. He is eternally besought by all and has no beginning or end, and none is equal to Him (Holy Quran example)
2. He is the Merciful and the Compassionate, the Guardian and the True Guide, the Just and the Supreme Lord, the Creator and the Watchful, the First and the Last, the Knowing and the Wise, the Hearing, and the Aware, the Witness and the Glorious, the Able and ' the Powerful. (Holy Quran example).
3. He is the Loving and the Provider, the Generous and the Benevolent, the Rich and the Independent, the Forgiving and the Clement, the Patient and the Appreciative, the Unique and the Protector, the Judge and the Peace. (Holy Quran example). The question of Allah's (SWT) 'God' existence has preoccupied men's minds for many centuries. Those who believe in Allah (SWT) 'God' seem to agree that the limited finite human intelligence cannot prove the existence of the infinite boundless of Allah (SWT) 'God'. It can only illustrate or demonstrate his existence to the satisfaction of the curious human mind.
Those who deny Allah's (SWT) 'God' claim to rely on science, philosophy, or special theories of knowledge. Their arguments are sometimes inapplicable, sometimes irrelevant, always complex, and often incomprehensible. However, the developed mind will find its way to Allah (SWT) 'God'. Failure to find the way does not mean that there is no way. Denial of reality does not make it unreal.

Answer 3

"The conclusion of the matter, everything having been heard, is: Fear the [true] God and keep his commandments. For this is the whole [obligation] of man. 14 For the [true] God himself will bring every sort of work into the judgment in relation to every hidden thing, as to whether it is good or bad." - Eccl 12:13-14

(1 John 5:3) For this is what the love of God means, that we observe his commandments; and yet his commandments are not burdensome,

"Look! To obey is better than a sacrifice, to pay attention than the fat of rams; 23 for rebelliousness is the same as the sin of divination, and pushing ahead presumptuously the same as [using] uncanny power and teraphim." -1 Samuel 15:22-23

Answer 4

obedience means doing the will of God..

"Then they went home and prepared spices and perfumes. But they rested on the Sabbath in obedience to the commandment."
(Luke 23:56)

Answer 5

Obidience means following Gods footsteps

Answer 6

The only god who would demand obedience would be satan. Unconditional love and demands of obedience are incompatable.

Addition: You three with the thumbs down, yea you. When was the last time you heard of someone loving because they were ordered to?

Answer 7

It means slavery to the men who tell you what god really wants. Look at all of the slaves of the pope, going against common sense because he tells them god wants it.

Answer 8

Isn't Obedience School where you send your Dog to get potty trained?

Same thing I guess.
