Dear psyah, it seems to me that you are fearing that if we do not have make beliefs then people will give up idea of God. I think your fears are unfounded, why? Because existence of God is not a proofless concept as you assume. You see when you make a claim you put forth the relevant evidence. The quran is the testimony of God. The existence of the universe is evidence of existence of God. Together with right explanations within the quran itself we have the irrefutable proof. It is because mullas have misled us we have not thought of the quran and the universe as a proof. Had we developed our critical faculty by now we would have convinced the whole world. Instead we have been hiding behind baseless ideas that have turned us into a bad joke.
Just think for a moment, if God wanted to create the world and he wanted people to believe him but he could not make them believe in him because there was no direct evidence then what was the point of God creating the world?
God knew that to prove a point you only need a way to prove something and that is it and that is his revelation is the proof for his existence in light of universal realities.
The testimony of God is such that it contains such information that proves his claim to for people. The question is, how does it do it? It does it by way of information that could only and only come from God regarding real world realities.
-
we are even today disputing laws of nature in 21st century but the very first revelation of God explained to people that natural world works according to his set laws.
-
It was told, pay close attention to how universe works and likewise you too follow the laws advised so that likewise your lives become organised and you function properly as a good human society.
-
It was told, if you do not follow the given guidance your life will never be trouble free.
-
So for all that was told in divine program proved exactly as told and therefore this will remain true in the future as well.
-
The goal set by God for mankind has not been surpassed ie people have not found better purpose for their life than establishing peace and maintaining it.
-
They have not found better terms and conditions for peace than those set by the divine revelation.
-
Everything told in the divine revelation revolved around God but for the benefit of mankind.
I challenge all rulers, their priests and bankers to come up with anything better to refute the quranic goal, rights and responsibilities, rules and regulations etc etc. If they cannot and we all muslims and nonmuslims know none can therefore the quranic message is unique and so whatever it claims that we cannot directly witness is therefore true.
There I have proven the case for the quran. All nonmuslims can say is, you are wrong because the way you interpret the quran is not the way mullas have been interpreting it therefore you are only trying to make us fool. This is why for all muslims and nonmuslims it is of vital importance to learn some facts about the language of the quran as to how it came about and works so that it becomes clear that no matter what any mullas say the quran interprets itself. The truth is there is no mullaism in islam. But all this is going to take time before individuals become really aware of the divine message properly. So long as poeple are under influence of make belief promoters things will remain the same.
The question is, how mullas are going lose their influence of individuals? When things get really bad and mullas have no sense how to guide people out of serious troubles then people will turn against the mullahs and rulers and bankers and become free of all of them. The quran already told us islam will prevail 1400 years back. Islam will prevail=peace in the world will become established. Just as absolute kings are gone and absolute mullas are gone very soon absolute bankers will be gone because that is the way world is moving with time. So rule of Allah is coming as soon as current ruling system collapses after it saturates.
This is why people will bring islamic ruling system all by themselves because they will have nothing else to help them organise any better.
So you can see islam, quran, God have much better future than they ever had because they will be fully appreciated by the whole mankind for their goodness.
Is there any need for miracles any more after knowing islam the way I have explained? It is time for muslims to learn the message properly and take it those who want to argue against it and let them prove their case against the quran. You will see them backing down, why? Because they cannot refute the case the quran makes for islam=peace. This is the clear cut proof that islam is the truth from the almighty.
The quranic arguments could be put forth yet more forcefully but we need to work at it instead of dancing around like mad with beat of Allahu or making a tasbeeh ten yards long with 100000 mankas. Things do not happen all by themselves so if we want to spread the message of islam then people should prepare themselves for it. The prophet worked hard day and night that is how the mission succeeded. To bring about a revolutionary change in the mankind is not easy.
As for life in hereafter, we cannot know the nature of it, we will find out when we get there. But just because it is not self evident it does not mean it does not exist because it is told about by the quran and if the quran seems ok with everything else that we can verify then how can we doubt its statements which we have no way to refute? For example, the quran tells us it is word of God so it has to be because the information it told us long before humanity came to know it could not have come from any other source. Only if we could prove that the quran like program has come from humanity itself that we can doubt existence of God.
People who talk nonsense about the quran have no real idea what they are talking about because they do not know what the quran is talking about. All they do is here nonsense from other people who themselves have little sense of anything. I take all such people as stupid because if they were not they would not be living the way they are because the state in which we find our world testifies to their stupidity. If people were sensible then our world would have been in much better state than it is.
So you can see where I stand about islam and quran. This is why to me make beliefs do not appeal at all. It is not that I have anything against people but that their negligence of the divine message is only keeping the world from becoming a better place for all of us therefore we ought to encourage each other to take steps that better the situations. This is why open mindedness of all people is necessary so that they could see what is good for us as a human community and what is harmful and take steps to stop harm and bring goodness.
regards and all the best.
