Re: Atheism
Peace rommel and SaeedinPakistan
If studying Islam makes us better Muslims then the best Muslims should be the Orientalists … You see there is not any amount of study that will keep you in faith … Faith is something given to us by Allah (SWT)
And We did not send any messenger except [speaking] in the language of his people to state clearly for them, and Allah sends astray [thereby] whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
Surat 'Ibrahim [14:4] - The Noble Qur’an - ??? ???
And SaeedinPakistan only proves this verse. Also, notice how this hadith seems to be speaking of SaeedinPakistan:
- The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said:"There will come a time when holding on to your Iman (belief) will be like** holding on to hot coals" **Sounds a lot like your relapsing doesn’t it? But alas SaeedinPakistan please read the following hadith too !!!
**- On the authority of Anas, who said: I heard the messenger of Allah say:
**
**Allah the Almighty said: “O son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me and ask of Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind. O son of Adam, were your sins to reach the clouds of the sky and were you then to ask forgiveness of Me, I would forgive you. O son of Adam, were you to come to Me with sins nearly as great as the earth and were you then to face Me, ascribing no parter to Me, I would bring you forgiveness nearly as great as its.”
**Ahadith like this one are anchors for faith in a different way … although Islam appeals to reason, it also appeals to our passions and hearts and offers us a way of bringing happiness in to our lives.
