23 years down the drain?

Totally agree with you the message never changes but the people come and go…

It is all about the test brother - some trails - as in his book he said

Or do ye think that ye shall enter the Garden (of bliss) without such (trials) as came to those who passed away before you? They encountered suffering and adversity, and were so shaken in spirit that even the Apostle and those of faith who were with him cried: “When (will come) the help of God?” Ah! Verily, the help of God is (always) near!

Useless.

I shall answer my own kuveschun.

Bukhari :: Book 4 :: Volume 54 :: Hadith 538
Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah’s Apostle said, “A prostitute was forgiven by Allah, because, passing by a panting dog near a well and seeing that the dog was about to die of thirst, she took off her shoe, and tying it with her head-cover she drew out some water for it. So, Allah forgave her because of that.”

I think that says it all.

I know what you mean . A prostitute who gave water to a thirsty dog was forgiven but a person who was a namazi and deendar was not because he got a bit arrogant about his good deeds. Allah knows what we know not. who knows what else Allah liked about that prostitute. And who knows the person who was unparralled in piety had ‘takkabur’ in his heart or was not that good as a person himself ?!

All we need to remember is that it’s Allah’s will to forgive. It’s our duty to try and follow the true teachings of Islam and fulfill Huqooq Allah and Huqooq ul Ibaad.

I would rather want to have at least a few of good deeds rather than hoping to be forgiven on just one ..when the list of our sins on the other hand is endless.

A big risk that would be

I don't get it. Why did Allah swt bother revealing the Quran over a period of 23 long years if, at the end, we humans were to decide being a good person is enough and we need not be following the Quran?

Why am I missing out on the "good" stuff like alcohol and sex if all it's going to take for me to enter jannah is compassion for other beings?

Each ayah was given at a certain point in time which applied to the occasion.

In the end we have freewill and will decide whether we want to follow the Qur'aan or not..

And would you follow the philosophies / moral and ethical codes and all those isms - who kept changing every day or a book which hasn't changed a single bit in last 1500 years ... choice is all yours ...

when Some one asked the very same question from Hazrat Ali - he replied :

Raab-e-kaaba ki qasam hamre pass bi wohi quran hai - na zayiR zabaR ka farq - bas yuN hai k hum Ahl-e-Bayat ko is ka FaYham zaida hai …

They were indeed the people - who had much better understanding of it ..

Wah.. and without a doubt they were. I have a feeling we're gonna get flamed now.
