so many restrictions.... everything is haram... when u struggle for halal Allah close all the halal doors for u in the name of test ..... then Allah mde is us human too with such cravings and needs ...... if our purpose was only to do Allah ki ibadat then why dint HE made us angels ..... programmed to do ibadat 24/7 .... why make us humans and make us suffer?

It only appears that all those restrictions make life difficult but once we start to keep them in mind, things get far easier. Think of it like being in college. A teacher of mine once told the class on the first day in college the following:

From now on there will be no teachers running after you to complete homework or going to call your parents, etc. You can spend all day in cafeteria and no teacher will ask. But that freedom is just an illusion and you?ll soon end up with a ton of stress and regret. So I advise you to beware of such freedom.

I think the rules and regulations put a structure on our lives and makes it far more manageable compared to a person in similar circumstances lacking those rules and regulations.
Natural pearls grow in the wild. They are a very rare find. Because they require greater effort to obtain, they are more prized and therefore more expensive. They also boast an iridescent luminosity that cannot be found in their counterparts, the lab-cultured pearls. Cultured pearls are easily produced and are overall less expensive than natural pearls. So, what is the point here? Angels have only been programmed to obey Allah. They can only do what is good because that is the only option they have. They don't face any struggles. Human beings, on the other hand, have to strive against many temptations and their nafs to obey Allah. Even offering namaz means fighting against the weight of sleep, or pulling yourself away from worldly obligations and recreations. When you struggle or fight against something (even your own nafs) to show your allegiance to someone you love, then that allegiance has greater value just like the natural pearl. And maybe this is why (and I am just guessing here) it is the human beings that have been bestowed the title of Ashraful Makhluqat (The Best of Creation) and not the angels.
Take the instance of employment. If you have a job, naturally you will expect payment from your boss. But if you often grumble and gripe about all the duties you have to fulfill and all the prohibitions you have to adhere to (whilst expecting to be paid), what impression will you make upon your boss? Not a favorable one. It would be considered bay-adabi or disrespectful. You made a choice to work. Similarly you made the choice to be a believer. It is not forced upon you. Now replace the boss with Allah in this inadequate analogy. And before you accuse me of believing myself to be perfect, l'll have you know that I am very far from it. I have my moments of weakness and despair. Everyone has their trials. Even those whom you believe have the blessings which you seek (marriage, for instance) face the challenges that come with that territory. But complaining won't make anything happen faster and after a point people's patience wears thin.
If u dont like my threads @booompatakha u have a choice not to open them and reply.... no one is forcing u to read my threads ..... stay the F off .... LOSER!!!
I can say what the hell I want because I have freedom of speech in this country. (Maybe you are living in pak which does not have freedom of speech so you don’t understand this concept.) If you don’t like my comments don’t read them!
Seriously you open the same thread with same topic about you not being able to control yourself. You don’t read and take advice from the previous couple of threads you opened. You even opened a thread about masturbating in Ramadan. Itna bara gunnna. Please stop with these threads. People are getting sick of it.
Oh and about your passive aggressive comment about my robot post, at least I am thinking of solution to my problems and not wallowing in self pity.
Islam is kut!

When religion cleanse your heart, then with the new awaken heart, you can enjoy the world a million time s more. When the heart let's go of the base desires, it gets God conscious, sensitive, alive, awake ... then one can enjoy the finer things in life. A pure soul is a dancing souls... it creates Art with every move it makes.
The offensive title of your thread, all the same rant in various threads & the language you choose to communicate your POV tells something about your ‘self control’. Hard to understand why anyone with self control would go as far as saying, “Islam is difficult to follow” because they can’t find a match.
are you that third string, dude? Your way of mocking Islam then taking a uturn pretending you dont is quite similar.
Why God is always addressed as Him, why not Her?
Let me break it down into quick language arts 101:
“He” is an ambiguous pronoun used in written and sometimes spoken language regardless of the intended gender. Man, human, person and other such nouns are neutrally masculine in nature without implying a masculine/feminine trait.
Gender is a very terrestrial concept and it is impossible for the human mind to make sense out of/imagine something beyond this world. Therefore, many Muslims including myself, rather not expend the entire 10% of our brain matter that we’ll use in our entire lives, pondering upon the gender of God. (percentage is far less for atheists)
Primary goal should be to channel all energy into compensating prior societies that failed to understand every aspect of the very basic star that has homed us for millions of centuries, before we go on to build an analysis on extraterrestrial entities or the Divine Himself.
No it did not answer my question. The Divine Being you are talking about that failed societies or the Atheists cannot fathom could be called ‘It’ as well, or Him or Her. I don’t find any reason why the God cannot be addressed as ‘Her’.
“It” is a pronoun used for inanimate nouns. She is a more gender specific pronoun than He. Please go study the basics of ANY foreign language so that you may familiarize yourself of the masculine neutral pronoun.
I find it hilarious that atheists never question writing styles or authors or ancient books that abundantly use the term “He” as a neutral pronoun; but they never miss a chance when God is involved.
He may be a more ‘neural pronoun’, or may be the whole idea generated in the minds of men? Anyways I am not an atheist and in fact hate their extreme intolerance towards men of religion. I believe in a creator but do not believe She is bothered about a species of apes living on a minor planet of a very average star.
It does not concern me one bit whether you are or not an atheist. Although you using the defective syntax of a man-made language as a criterion to assess the Divine and supplement an atheist ideology (in an inquisitive fashion ofcourse) is one of the dumbest things I’ve witnessed.
Not just the language but attributes and desires are also very man-like or humanly e.g to be loved, desired, feared, respected, worshiped, followed, given all importance to, merciful, graciousness, then vengeance, revenge, punishment, etc etc etc all are perfectly human attributes.
You may not give a damn about me being an Atheist or not but for some reason you keep dragging them into conversations with me.
God commands forgiveness, not revenge!
