Re: I believe in all Gods. Cos they're ONE.
As long as someone follows the God of Abraham (pbuh) and does not associate partners with Him they are following the same God as mine

Show soem decency. Did your elders not teach you any manners on how to behave in someone's place? Yes you are not in your place. You are on a muslim board. So keep your illegit moortis to yourself and like it or not your ilk is not welcome.

Re: I believe in all Gods. Cos they’re ONE.
It might come as a stunning revelation to many that the word “ALLAH” could possibly be derived from the Sanskrit language. In Sanskrit Allah, Akka and Amba are synonyms. They signify a goddess. The term Allah forms part of Sanskrit chants invoking goddess Durga, also known as Bhavani, Chandi and Mahishasuramardini. The Islamic word Allah for God is therefore could possibly be ancient Sanskrit appellation retained and continued by Islam. The word Allah could mean in ancient sanskrit mother goddess." (IBID)
Also, there are inscriptions found near oases, Allah and Allat appear with no descriptive attachments, either in appeals for help in travel, or as part of the signature of the suppliant (like Abdallah-- IL root in name!). What does this mean? This means that IL and Allah shared the reverence of the ancient Sumerians, circa 3000 BC, and the northern Arab tribes in 500 BC. Survival time-- 2500 years. (Winnett, F V, and Reed, W L, Ancient Records From North Arabia, Univ. of Toronto, 1970 pg. 79,126-127 / 245,253b. Winnett has done some excellent work in recent work in inscription interpretation.)
Muhammad did indeed cleaned the Ka’ba of several gods but took the god allah for the choice of worshipping him. This in itself is the concept of not only creating a religion but a god that does not actually exist.
“…Muslim pilgrims visiting the Ka’ba temple go around it seven times. This custom is not preserved in any Mosque. Hindus also circum-ambulate around their deities. This is yet another proof that the Ka’ba shrine could be a pre-Islamic Indian Shiva temple where the Hindu practise of circumambulation is still meticulously observed.” (IBID)

The Best answer for you is in the Quran:
AL-KAFIRUN (THOSE WHO DENY THE TRUTH)
IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE:
(1) SAY: "O you who deny the truth!
(2) "*I do not worship that which you worship, *
(3) *and neither do you worship that which I worship! *
(4) "And I will not worship that which you have [ever] worshipped,
(5) *and neither will you [ever] worship that which I worship. *
(6) Unto you, your 'Religion', and unto me, mine !"

Re: I believe in all Gods. Cos they're ONE.
^ Well that's not the way it is for me. So Im lumpin it.
Overall Im seeing that Muslims here are less tolerant than the Hindus. When it comes down to respect for other Gods that is. I wonder why it is that way? I wish my Muslim brothers would see that every religion has something beautiful to offer, just like Islam does.
Re: I believe in all Gods. Cos they're ONE.
And as far as my beliefs are conccerned Ram Bhuddha Christ are Gods. When you insult them you are insulting all Gods including Allah. You don't have a clcue about this, so nobody is asking you for answers.
If you don't understand reason then I will explain in fundo language. Keep committing the sins you are committing here and Allah will be quite upset with you.
Re: I believe in all Gods. Cos they're ONE.
this is truly sad. thousands of peopel go to Mecca just like those going to Jerusalem or Varanasi - it's called pilgrimage.
They go around the Kabaa just like they do around the Moorthy. That's called a ritual.
And the thing they go around is called an object of worship. If you don't want to call it an idol, fine, call it what you will. Idol is just a word.
Some people say Kabaa is not the object of worship since people going around it are atually thinking of Allah when they do that. That's exactly what everyone else does - think of their God when they go around their idols.

Re: I believe in all Gods. Cos they're ONE.
^ yup, Itsyou
Re: I believe in all Gods. Cos they’re ONE.
kaaba is not an object of worship…
no muslim has ever worshipped it and if u r getting any such hints then either u r thinking the wrong way or u r communicating with misinformed muslims…
since u r not a muslim and will not be allowed to enter Makkah (unless u revert to Islam), let me give u this useful piece of information…
some ppl while doing hajj or umrah do try to kiss the kaaba or touch their hands/eyes/foreheads to it in reverence, but the scholars present there come up and forbid them telling them that such practices r not allowed and r not part of Islam…
so, throw away all the misinforming material u have on this subject and clarify it for yourself - kaaba is not an object of worship, neither Islam nor people before Islam ever worshipped kaaba…
muslims worship the God of Kaaba, Allah, God of the Universe, while the idol-worshippers of Makkah before Islam worshipped the idols (360 or so) that they had placed inside the kaaba, no one ever worshipped the structure…
Re: I believe in all Gods. Cos they're ONE.
yes u have a point there n i agree sorry bout that:)
Re: I believe in all Gods. Cos they're ONE.
Well so am I. And I don't worship multiple Gods but just don't mind calling him by multiple names.
islam is a complete religion with its codes of ethics, ways of living, rules set by that one God that we believe in.
i would say that u'r belief is just like ours and infact like the whole line of prophets and muslims,but the difference is recognizing what to call that God
The same God (Allah) that all prophets believed in gave us the Quran and showed us the way of living, so we follow the rules given by Allah.( this is the fine line which one has to cross to be a muslim) otherwise believing in one God and not being able to identify what to call him is teh first step of conversion to Islam
I hope u'd understand.:)
Re: I believe in all Gods. Cos they're ONE.
Its illogical to say that you believe in all forms of God or that all forms of God whether Hindu or Islamic or Christian are the same God because each form of God is contradicting the other by preaching something which the other does'nt preach or approve of.
tsk tsk:)
Re: I believe in all Gods. Cos they're ONE.
Ok I think thats where Us Muslims disregard Gods of other religions:
When we say first Qalma...we basically are saying There is No God but Allah and Prophet Muhammad is the last messanger. Other religions do believe in one God but do they believe in Last prophet Muhammad? Thats where I think the barrier is build up. We enter to the faith of Islam by accepting that Allah is One and believing that Prophet Muhammad was the last messanger and also believing in all the prophets that came before him.
Now, the people who believe in other Gods (nauzoubillah) and do not believe in the Prophets as we do, do u think they will get ajr for believing in any God and thats about it?
[added] Yes, we should respect other religion Gods' and their religion but shouldn't try to adapt them.
Re: I believe in all Gods. Cos they're ONE.
How do most of us understand the meaning of La ilaha il Allah? Is it:
a) There is no other god except for Allah
b) There is no god but God
c) There is no other deity worthy of worship except for Allah
d) none of the above
Firstly,
Allah is not a god, because as we first say,
La ilaha
this does not mean there is no other god, because then we are acknowledging the existing of other gods - keep in mind that Allah is not a god, nor is He (swt) God, he is al-Khaliq, The Creator.
So what is the purpose of La ilaha? It is a process of negation. You negate everything no matter what it may be, and then you say,
IL ALLAH!
Which means, "There is ONLY ALLAH," which is the act of confirmation.
First we negate,
LA ILAHA (THERE IS NOTHING IN EXISTENCE),
Then we confirm:
IL ALLAH (THERE IS ONLY ALLAH)
There is no meaning for God in Arabic;
The closest word is Rabb, which more accurately translates to Lord, even though that is still not efficient enough.
We know Him (Jalla Jalalu) through His
Ambiya (alaiyhis-salaatu was-salaam) and through His (Jalla Jalalu) Awliya.
Our beloved Prophet (as-salaatu was-salaamu alaiyk) informed us that:
'One who knows himself, knows His Lord'

Re: I believe in all Gods. Cos they're ONE.
God is called Allaah, Adonai, Jehovah, Elohim, HaShem and lots of other names, Blessed and Exalted is He.
I’ve nothing against using Sanskrit names for Him that describe His attributes, in fact some words like the Sanskrit word for “creator” is more befitting of God than some ivory statue with 6 or 7 arms.
God is one but Hindus and many others have a totally messed up understanding of His nature and attribute false things to Him like trinity and stuff.
At the end of the day everyone is free to believe what they want, I’m more than happy and content with my faith and believe anything which contradicts it is wrong, you are free to have your beliefs, I’ll present my view and you yours, as long as nobody impose their beliefs by force it’s all good, in the end we’ll all come to know (it’ll be too late for some but they brought it upon themselves).
Re: I believe in all Gods. Cos they're ONE.
We believe Christ is a Prophet just like Mohammed and Moses, none of them are God or a part of God, not even Mohammed, saying that would be going against the very foundation of Islam, these were humans not divinities and they were God’s servants.
It is possible that the Hindu scriptures are altered version of God revealed scriptures and the personalities mentioned in them were God’s Prophets or Angels who later came to be worshipped due to ignorance, because we do believe God sent prophets and revelations to every people when there was darkness to show them the right path, but we wont know for sure and knowing is not necessary because now we have Islam which is meant for all nations of the world to unite upon.
