Tell me everything you know, feel and understand about Allah :swt: your Creator…I want to know everything, from the Quran, the Sunnah, Ahadith e.t.c…Tell me how you perceive Him to be…
I will also tell you what I know about Him and what I really feel about Him…
So share your views about your Creator…Even non-Muslims can share and tell us what they feel and think about the God of Muslims…
Keep in mind:
Do not correct anyone for their beliefs in this thread…If you want to do it, open another thread…
Do not quote what others have written to correct them…Open another thread for that…
Do not malign or call out anyone for their beliefs no matter how wrong…Open another thread for that…
This thread will remain strictly to pour out your convictions about the One who Created you from nothing…
I want to know everything you feel towards Him, even negative stuff…(Just make sure there is no disprespect towards Him…That will not be tolerated)
Like I said, I too will share everything I felt and feel about him…
But this much I will share which I felt about Him, was that everytime I saw someone starve to death in Ethiopia, I questioned His motives behind that…I could never figure that out…
But more in good time…Right now I am more intersted in your views…
I believe in God and try to follow Him as much as I can, sometimes (maybe mostly) I slip here and there.
The reason I believe in God is very basic;
If there is God, then I am already following Him (trying). but if there is no God then it doesn't matter.
it's more like saying there is God instead of saying there is no God, because if there is God and you say there is none, you are down the drain. but if there is no God and you still believe in One you will not be offending anybody.
at the end of the day its just your own belief, physically nothing can be proved.
I love Allah and I believe He surely is exist........All hearing All seeing.........All knower All Wise.......
I have so much love..so much things in my heart but I can't explain them or I don't want to explain them........
For Me there is always One Allah and He is always there checking out my actions so He is there when i m doing some good and He is there when i m doing some wrongs... due to this i don't need to make anybody to accept my excuse cuz i know He knows the truth and nothing but truth.
Moreover whenever i go over to Him to ask something, i feel He makes me realize all the wrong i have done recently. So i try to keep my own zameer satisfied, so whenever i have to go to Him to ask some help i should not be ashamed of my deeds.
I have tried to use this justification with my friends, but it never seems to work
I always try and show it as the classical “prisoner’s dillema”
If you follow God, and he exists - you win.
If you follow God and he doesn’t exist - you don’t loose.
If you don’t follow God and he exists - you are in trouble.
If you don’t follow God and he doesn’t exist - you don’t loose.
For me my belief in God has really helped me in life. It has helped me develop morals, and the fear of Allah has really helped me keep away from bad things, Mashalllah. I also have quite a few “slipups” but knowing that there is one entity that loves you a lot and can protect you is very reassuring.
By making His (Jalla Jalalu) rememberance (dhikr) as much as we can, reciting His most glorified names, can one gain more and more awareness of Him (Azza wa jaal)...there is no limit....make His rememberance silently in your heart, quietly, loudly, it doesn't matter which way you choose to remember Him Almighty.
I dont' think you need to go any further to find out who Allah really is. Just ask yourself the last time you were in deep trouble, whom did your heart call the frist time. Its amazing how we call upon Allah when in trouble and that is the biggest proof that HE exists and listens and helps HIS creation.
If that doesn't work for you, read Quran and see how Allah has/is completing all HIS promises and read Surah Al-Rahman.
Islam demands a person to have complete faith in existance of Allah....
ok, but isn't a person who worships God in fear of his existance better than a person who doesn't worship God at all? Obviously a person can't really qualify as a Muslim if he doesn't really believe, but hopefully if they start following a religion out of fear, eventually they can truly believe in what the religion says.
I know that Allah is kind and merciful and Allah listen and see Allah is so kind so polite so friendly so beautiful so caring so as no word that I know, any word: that can reach and hold the meaning what Allah is so in simple Allah is Allah.
I can not see HIM, I can not imagine HIM but some how deep very deep inside me beyond reason and doubt I believe that there is Allah and there is no god but Allah. I felt Allah presence(proper word??), specially; during late night prayers, and within fraction of a second before any realisation of the moment I will start shivering and crying, I never knew before that feeling (in the absence of proper word) that I have so much of salt water in my eyes. Those were the days.
I don’t pray any more so there was no crying part but now that I started listening Koran, I listen as I can not read, while listening I start crying and can not stop even if I try but that might be out of frustration that I can not read or may be because I can not submit it to memory. Which ever the reason but I got myself severely infected eyes so I had to stop. It’s just that I am so weak and useless but then again Allah is there I will try again Inshallah.
I talk to Him during my prayers, when I’m pareshan, happy, needy, angry.. literally all the time. I’m not the type of person who shares everything, esp. most of the things that hurt me are always kept within me.. and I share them with Him.. b/c I know He won’t judge me..
Sometimes, it actually feels weird when I start duaa with.. "You know.. this is what happened… ", feels soo childish, but I love the closeness.. the apnaayeat attached to it
Allah is an Image created in our minds by society and our parents, then culture, then fear, i guess organized religion such as islam (and others) is important to control the masses, All organized religions do is put fear of consequences (such as hell) in our minds so that we can follow them blindly.
but with education and respect for other. we can overcome this and live in a peaceful manner with others.
Religions are also full of hate, i.e. follow our sect or you will go to eternal hell, you cannot question religion because its forbidden, you must have blind faith and follow what you are told etc. our religion is better then yours and we will fight you for it.
Take religion out of the equation and we will be living in a society where people will be judged on what they have accomplished or how rich and powerful they are rather then how long there beards are or how many time they pray in a day. but the choke hold of religion is amazing in our society. i hope and wish that one day we can all see and realize the wrongs that religions of the world have done.
After reading and understanding the qur'an. there is no doubt.
it is truly one of the most poetic and beautiful literature I have read or heard of.
SubhanAllah
Say Allah:swt: is Unique. He’s continuosly sought by all of His creations but He does not need any of them. He’s not the father of anyone nor is He the son of anyone. And He is One and Unique.
you are right.. Religions do tell you that. But DEEN does not.
In Islam, we have proofs. Every bit of Islam is in Black and white and you can verify about the authenticity yourself.
Whatever picture you have mentioned above, if that is your understanding of Islam, then you only know about Islam as much as you saw some person calling himself and practicing it and calling it Islam while it is not. Yes, while it is NOT. I can guarantee that you have not tried to learn and read the actual history of Islam and the Seerah of Prophet:saw:
And if you have not, it’s about time you should, for as a fellows brother, I and many others can provide you with the details what Islam actually is and I’m sure IF & only IF ALLAH WILLS, every one of us can get guidance. Aameen.
