Hi folks,
What is your God like…
Is she loving caring and forgiving…OR
Is she strict, harsh and unforgiving…
( Here are the responses I dont want..She is both…or ..Islam tells us that she is…
I want your honest Gut feeling…
( Moderator, this isnt about religion..)
I thought this is about “Prescriptions” and you are giving free samples of Viagra away. Man, I need new glasses.
Nova, my God is neither. She is there to guide me and subconsciously controlling my actions. Some times good, other times not so good, so I don’t look at her to blame her if I do something bad. Nor do I praise her when I do something good. She does not need my supplications or appeals. If she did, I will change and get myself another God.
My God is neither he nor she..It is some kind of light, force and energy that guides my life, forces me to follow it subconsiously determining my destiny and gives me the energy to do it all. It is very powerfull stuff capable of being he or she too if it wants.
My God is strict, forgiving and at this time very unhappy with me...He seems kind of far away...somehow i cant reach Him...i want to believe He is around looking at me...but i am too afraid to talk to Him..
My God is strict yet easy, harsh yet kind, far yet near, unforgiving yet forgiving …
He doesn’t control me but even then expects me to do whatever he wants.
But I have a special friendship with God

I love him!
Do you…yahooooooo!!! ?
My GOD is my everything. I have no other choice, neither i want. My relationship wid GOD is based on faithfulness. I try to love GOD. I don't want paradise neither im afraid of hell. I just try to be faithful to GOD. Since the day i adopted this strategy, i became satisfied...
Trust me, You'll get pain.
My God is very quiet. And he watches me.
"Jab kuch na tha to khuda tha
Jub kuch na hoga to khuda hoga
Daboya mujh ko honay nay
Jo mein na hota to kia hota"
I understand need of religion comes from uncertainity.And trying to find God in discussion is not much helpful either.As this poet has said it:
"Falsafi ko bahes mein khuda milta naheen
Dor ko sulja raha hay aur sira milta naheen"
Being student of science I believe in universal standards in physical things like weight length and height.Same I feel should apply to spirtual life.Quran is the standard.1400 years of historic truth is enough for me to believe in it.There are no two Qurans.And not a alphabet has changed in it.This far exceeds requirments of any standard.The day I see better I will be the first one to accept it.Till then I will believe.Over all it is leap of faith like Abraham(PBUH) and fire will change into flowers for me(metaphoricaly)
Bulhai sjah saab,
Thnks for the response......
God is a hypothetical construct.....We project ourselves in our image of God...
Thats what I was trying to get at...
Sir jii samjha karaiN...
Nova ji again U missed the point!.Is there a better alternative to this "hypothetical" concept of God.If there is one let me know.I will follow that.Untill that time let's make the best of what we have.
Hahahahah...
What we have ..err..isnt much....
There is no alternative to the truth....Truth for a scientist means,understanding the phenomenon WITH ITS LIMITATIONS...
In addition to understanding God..we also need to look at the human need to have one..
and just so we are on the topic, and you being interested in dynamics...God also represents the ultimate splitting...Where the percieved badness of this world is neutralized by a fair and just entity..
Good! we have narrowed the discussion.I agree Muslim God is Just.He is Jabbar and Raheem at the same time.Now there are so many variables to deal with process of justice that it is beyond human imaginations.For example second guessing another Physician judgment is not always right because of variables in physical conditions.Add spirtual world on top makes it more complex.Till U find me an alternative which is better then concept of God I will stick with it.As Billions along with and before me have done.
"Fiqr ko har tarf dora(run) kay thakia(tired)hum nay
Koi deen din-e-Muhammad ka sa na paya hum nay
Pahley samjay they Musa ka assa hay Furqan
Phir jo dakha to her lafz masseha nikla"
Translation:I tired my imagination by thinking hard.I could not find a religion better then religion of Muhammad(PBUH).(Pertaining to Quran)First I thought it is staff of Moses.Then I looked again and found every word to be Messiah.

ur both quotations of verses are a little wrong.
“daboya mujh ko hone ne, na hota me to kya hota”
“har taraf fikr ko dora ke thakaya hum ne<<koi deen deen-e-mohammad sa na paya hum ne”
sorry for correction yaar, dont mind it yaar and just go further

If one were to look at the definition of God under Websters Dictionary, you'll see it says 'mystical creature' I read this years ago and was so turned off by the meaning the universal dictionary had placed upon the title. Thus, I now only refer to him as Allah. Now obviously I'm not saying dictionaries are the only proven form of truth. I'm merely saying that if that is the universal definition, it sure is demeaning! There is no holy milkin cow way that my god is a 'mystical creature'! And my dears, I would think the same implies for you, no?

My God is the same ONE God of everyone...Throughout my life that I lived already, My God has helped me alot, always been there for me...and I thank God for everything God bestowed upon me...
God is light, everywhere, powerful, forgiving, loving God...
My God is one with whom I can talk about every thing, my God is very forgiving When ever I am depressed or have a problem I talk to my God about it and I am sure that God listens.
