Re: Conversion back to Hinduism
On the other hand, do you even know how many types of shirk there are? Shirk just isn't making an idol and worshipping it or believing Jesus is the son of God or something like that. Shirk can be obeying someone other than God, or loving someone the same as or more than God. Shirk can be giving someone or something the status of God or giving God the status of something that is created. Take an atheist for example who denies God's very existence. When the atheist meets God, what rights does the atheist have in front of God. Absolutely nothing, so why should God reward the atheist since he denied God's existence? Similarly we know from the Quran that the purpose of creation is to worship God. How would you expect God to reward you when you didn't even call out to Him because you were busy calling out (worshipping) something else?
The Messengers were sent by God to give everyone a chance because no one would be able to say that I didn't receive the Message. God Himself is not going to come down to earth and show Himself to everyone, and neither is He going to give revelation to everyone. Because if He wanted everyone to become Muslim, He could have made everyone Muslim. But rather He has created life and death to test which one of us excels in doing good and to worship Him alone. If you truly realize that God alone must be worshipped, then you will also realize that Islam is the only religion that promotes worship only to God.

Yes, those people have a better chance of going to Paradise as long as they died as Muslims. And Mother Teresa has no chance if she died as a non muslim. The keyword is if they actually died in that state, but I don't know and you don't know whether they actually did die that way. There's also a Hadith which talks about Muslims doing things to show off, they will also be in Hell. And again we don't know which Muslim is trying to show off and which Muslim is actually doing the acts for the sake of God. Because we don't know what is in the hearts, we only know what is apparent from the actions. Whatever is in the hearts will be dealt with by God.

Brother, I respect ur belief and views, but I wont subscribe to it in any circumstance. If Mother Teresa will go to hell just coz she died as a non muslim, than hell is the best place for me.
There is also a hadith which tells us that out of all the sects muslims have created for themselves, only one sect will be landing in paradise, where rest of all will find themselves is not hard to guess. So there are fair chances that I will be meeting most of my muslim friends in hell coz they belong to different sects offcourse.

Brother again Mother Teresa comes into picture. She devoted most of her time serving the ppls we wont like to touch even, while good muslims devote most of time praying to ALLAH. If U come to my country U can see that inspite of being a very small minority, christians are doing service to humankind in litrally each and every place, while muslims lag way behind them in this regard, maybe coz they dont find enough time to serve those who need them. maybe coz prayers and other religious riutals dong give them enough time and they dont want to spoil their chance of making it to paradise, and best way is to worship worship and worship.
So U remember recent disaster like Tsunami, and Earthquake? Although all these disaster struck muslim dominated areas, still we saw less muslim presence as compared to their christian counterparts in relief and rehabilitation work. So is religion for humanity or humanity for religion? this is big question for today.

Brother I could have believed what U say, but practically I have seen that those who believe in message and messenger are not found to be good for humankind as compared to those who didnt believe and made their own laws. I have some muslim friend in Europian countries, they dont hesitate in saying that the society that holy quran promises can be seen in Europian countries today. Here lies faultline for me, coz the laws those countries follow are just opposite what holy quran prescribes. To me its complete failure of message, and even worse is that muslims themselves have proven that laws of the message is not good for themselves coz they have willingly written their own laws and have substituted them with laws of holy quran, almost in all muslim countries. So when muslims can do mere lip service in regarding holy quran as a book from ALLAH than whats a big deal that a kafir like myself dont believe???
Thanks
