^Farrah,
Here is something, 2-3 years back i wrote a similiar but a bit hard hitting post as in that thread the type of questions were being posted no matter how worst belief a muslim has he/she would never put questions like that. After 5 or 6 views that post was removed.
I don't disagree with using these forums for learning purposes but I have seen people when go too far to prove their points. I have seen some posts are very good and have seen some question which you mught not ask an Alim/Alima directly but there are certain posts which are derailing your Aqeeda (Faith).
Here is something about the destiny, once I asked a scholar that if God has written all the good things and bad things I would do then why there is Heaven and Hell. May Allah forgive me, what is the point of that if these things are written in destiny already. May Allah forgive if that is the case then this make Allah SWT unjust.
He answered that Allah SWT has written our destiny through his knowledge, because we are his creation and he knew what we would do and what we wouldn't. He has given us brain to decide right and wrong, we can decide what is good and what is bad. So we know if we are going to put our hands in fire we will burn our hands, we know if we commit adultry, theft and other bad things, we will be punished and if we do good deeds we will get rewarded.
Do you know that a mentally ill person won't be accountable becuase he can't differentiate what is right and what is wrong?
I can go in more detail, but I better leave uit here, if you need further information on this please speak to an Alim/Alima as they will be able to give you more detailed info.
Take Care
Apologies for lengthy email.
Very good post again.
No big dispute here but I would say learning religion is still an individual's responsibility and not depending on another human of present time completely.
