Some questions

[aqeel123]

@Jaanwar

\Do I need a disclaimer first? I am a muslim, alhamdulilah. I am an ordinary person ad do what ordinary people do - and I am definitely less informed than a lot of you people who have good understanding of religion. There are certain questions that bother me at times, I don’t know if I am not supposed to think about this stuff, but perhaps this is our nature as humanoids.** I do believe in Allah, the supreme power**, whose existence is evident scientifically and spiritually.

Less informed might be true but i dunt agree that everyone here has better understanding of religion than u do. You are asking urselve questions rather than believing what we r told to believe.

dont under estimate this statement, if u believe it from ur heart this might be enough to save u from the fire of hell, We believe in Quran and ALLAH keeps repeating that he is Rehman and Raheem.

Compared to the universe, or even our planet, my existence is nothing. In the wide array of things, I am just a negligible and insignificant biological being. Why was I created in the first place? Are all my actions, my birth, my death, my fate, my reward and punishment - all pre-decided? What am I doing running around then? Where does my free will fit in?

I will try not to confuse you but i am not sure if i will succeed, none the less i will give it a shot.

Your questions r very general, everyone can give u a different answer for each of ur question and most of them would sound rite to you.
If u r muslim u must beleive that ALLAH is Aadil (insaaf kernay wala, fair), and i am sure u do. If u do beleive that, then do u really think he will punish you for something he made you do ? (something he has written for u)
On the other hand u must beleive he has knowledge of what happened and what will happen, So yea he knows what each of us has done and what of each of us will do in future, so when someone says he has everything written down, it is in the sense that he knows what we will do and he knows what our fate is, not in the sense that he has written something for us and we will do that and commit sins.
To conclude what i just said, we dont do what ALLAH has written for us, rather Allah has written down what we will end up doing. meaning if dont pray tonite then its my own fault but ALLAH knows about future so he had it written down that I wont be praying today… Hence I deserve the punishment i will get, on the other hand ALLAH is forgiving and merciful so he can forgive me for that if he wants to.

Religiously, I am a negligent and defiant person.** I am not at all regular at namaz. So am I in for an infinite period of torture and punishment? If I die today, I don’t see many compelling reasons for my forgiveness. Alright, first question would be namaz? So they would be dragging my defiant butt straight to the pits of hell right after the first question. For some laziness and some defiance due to stupid reasons (unfortunate events, pessimistic feeling, just being upset), I would be punished for enernity? Now why would Allah want to do that and how is that fair? Honestly when I hear people talk about the azaab in grave and hereafter, it scares the heck out of me.** Like how many more minutes, hours, days, months or years do I have here - struggling to survive - before I am taken away for an eternal chitter parade?

My friend Namaz is very important, we should think of namaz as something that we get to do rather than we have to do. It brings barkat in ur home, family and life. I am not gona write an essay about namaz but start praying and Inshallah u will see the difference.
I sure will do a bad thing if i miss my namaz but worst mistake will be thinking ALLAH wont forgive me for that. He keeps repeating that he is forgiving and merciful becoz he wants us to ask him for forgiveness even if we think that we have committed u forgivable sin.
If u didnt pray, do tobah keeping in Mind ALLAH is willing to forgive if ur asking for forgiveness from the depth of ur heart.

@Jaanwar

Further, things which perhaps I shouldn’t be thinking about are - why did Allah create insignificant beings like us in the first place? Does he just sit there and keep watching us do our thing? and later he will have the judgement day and then watch us burn in hell or enjoy in heaven? He created all the souls, he created good and evil, so if someone is evil, how is that his fault? What would he be punished for - if it was his fate to do evil and this is what he was made for? How do you informed and educated people satisfy atheists of these questions?

most of us have different opinion on why ALLAH created us, But i believe that he created us and gave us mind so we can look around and use our mind to figure out there is someone controlling this universe. We praise him while we cant physically see him. Use our mind to differentiate between good and evil and ALLAH gave us a free will to go in either direction, he has told us the consequences and rules of the game… Quite a show i tell u !
about atheists… i dont argue with em, y argue ? if u can see a creation u must believe there is a creator. If u cant agree with this i cant argue with you.

@Jaanwar

I know some of these questions are plain stupid. If any of you people, who are much more sensible and learned mashallah, can give me any clear answers, I would really appreciate it. If not, I would understand.

Please, do not confuse me further with any complex mumba jumba or links. Thank you.

I dont think ur questions r stupid and I didnt notice u were asking the sensible one or learned onez … only. So i gave it a shot and now there isnt a point deleting the whole post after writing all this. Hopefully it has helped and if it didnt, sorry mate.

Wasalam
