5) So I started to question myself again I thought I cannot see,touch the air yet it is there and many similar questions from this went on a spiritual search for God on the net. I came across many religions and finally Islam on Islamic web sites you tube and from this read Quran this book shook my heart like nothing before this book I could never deny it this is what I have been looking for the questions to my life have finally been answered. I am so very grateful to Allah for showing me the way

6) When I read the Quran I came across this verse 'We will show them Our Signs in the universe, and in their ownselves, until it becomes manifest to them that this (the Quran) is the truth. After I read this I cried and cried as this is what Allah had been showing me all along making me reflect and ponder over the creation of God.

3)Would a car designer create a car with defects i.e. wheels on the roof? Would anyone who is a designer create anything which has a defect? No they would not so how are we created so perfectly by chance this is not posible nothing can be so perfectly created without a creator. It is as though we are placed on this planet and created in such a way that ours bodies are able to fit perfectly for every task. I thought about this on many parts of the body each time it served its purpose for a reason

just to add to the "what is the purpose of the hereafter" question. we cannot always ascribe purpose to an ends, its like asking "what is the purpose of being happy," we cannot really answer that, we just want happiness. if we ask "what is the function of the hereafter," then we can say many things, such as Allah establishing his ultimate justice by rewarding the good and punishing the evil, Allah fulfilling his promise of paradise for the muttaqoon etc...Allah knows best

2) Although I still believed God later started to disbelieve in him why? I can't see him. Later againin life I stated to question myself how can we be born so perfect every part of our body has a purpose our hands feet mouths. The feet the way it is shaped to walk perfectly on the ground the hand the way it grips how can we be created in such a way by chance so perfect in being to fit in this very environment around us. What if we had our fingers or feet on backwards how would we grip or walk?

Islam means the submission to the will of god. The non believers see the word as a term that defines a religion. Do not simply think it as a term for religion. Use your intellect, as god says so in the Quran. A Muslim is a person that submits to the will of god. Jesus was a Muslim. Why? He submitted to the will of god. Moses was a Muslim. Why? He submitted to the will of god. All of the messengers before were Muslim. Why? Because they submitted to the will of god.

@jineen123 9 жыл бұрын

and exactly right! Islam means submit! people out there define it as a religion when the prophet Muhammad Peace be upon him has been sent to all man kind to tell them all to submit to God! instead many thought he is calling to be worshiped. Muhammad is a prophet, he is not worshiped by Muslims, he is respected only. Submission and worship only God (Allah)

Allah wanted to justice to himself, so he brought creation into being to rule it--- therefore Allah created us to do justice to him---justice here has spiritual component, therefore, suffering, sacrificing, obeying, fearing, hoping, knowing, praising, supplicating, appreciating and loving Allah all are froms of worship that does justice to Allah because he has earned by rights of his attribute and virtues. that is by His majesty, beauty and the reality of his being. After all, what is justice but to give a thing its dues, earned by right of its virtues and attributes. that is the purpose of life in islam---the act of Submitting to God by those forms of worship above, willingly or unwillingly by all of creation in the heavens and earth. He asks us to justice to him, and he will be more than Just to us, he will be merciful in the end.

the ''purpose'' of life depends on your environment and upbringing. sociology has already answered this question, a persons belief system is tied up to the lessons taught to them by others. I read the ''purpose driven life'' by rick warren and he says the reason we live is to be like Jesus and love each other, simple enough but in order to embrace this thinking you would have to be brought up in a christian environment, one ''purpose'' cannot apply to all people.

There are other religions besides islam because many people deviated from the right religion, islam.Allah sent many messengers and prophets throughout history to warn nations who deviated. They all had the same message;there is no god but Allah. In the Quran stories of Adam, Abraham, Noah, David, Solomon, Moses, children of Israel, Jesus, Lot, and others are mentioned.

The Creator did NOT create other religions besides Islam. The only religion the creator will accept is Islam. All the prophets came with the same message. That is Islam. Islam means ´´peace acquired by submitting your will to the will of the One God´´. Muslim means ´´a person who is submitting his-her will to the will of the One God´´.

where did they get the "innate" sense of right and wrong. do animal have the sense of right and wrong ?.this sense if GOD given .and its in the Quaran but GOD sent revelations to reinforce that innate sense so you dont have any excuse on the Day of Judgement. Our innate sense of right and wrong would have been enough but its mercy from GOD that he sent REVELATIONs. any thing thats said good is from GOD and any mistake that is made is from me and shiatan.

Even without a "divine purpose" in life; humans have an innate sense of right and wrong. And in democratic countries which honours the rule of law; a person living his life like the devil will be caught & condemned to prison. So there's every incentive to be law abiding citizens. But the temptation is always there to game the system. I stopped watching at 12mins. I'll come back later.
