Re: Are They Muslims?
One does not have to be Muslim to assert the unity or oneness of God. Islam (according to the definitions of non-Muslim scholars) is the last of the monotheistic faiths, so it is ironic that their followers claim to be the only ones to be practicing monotheism.
This is exactly what I am trying to say…One may openly say He believes in the Oneness of Allah….Others may not say it openly, but believe that there is One Creator. He may call himself whichever faith he wants to, but the rest of the people will judge him as openly he has not said the exact words they want to hear.
Only the Creator knows what is in out hearts and our intentions. So I cannot judge anyone …nor should anyone judge me. If by believing in One God you call me muslim…that’s great so be it…I will proudly accept it…but if on the other hand I do not reveal my intention that there is One God…and you label me Kafir/Zalim…well that’s quite OK too and I will accept that.
Hypnotix… The “Will” of Allah in my simple mind is universal to ALL his creation whatever they have chosen to call themselves….applicable to animal and plant-life…the skies and the earth and the universe. Therefore no one religion or belief should be able to lay claim to “submission to His Will"
