(1) to be undutiful to your mothers
(2) to withhold (what you should give) or (3) demand (what you do not deserve), and (4) to bury your daughters alive.
And Allah has disliked that you
(A) talk too much about others
(B) ask too many questions (in religion), or (C) waste your property." **

Volume 8, Book 73, Number 6:
notice the difference between forbidden and dislike. today we see so many parents being mistreated to the point of being abused by the mtv youth who is used to seeing parents rottening in “old houses”. Whats even more alarming is thought of the kinda treatment they will get from their kids.
ill second Minime. I thought that we were encouraged to ask as many questions as we wanted in order to get to the truth?? After all we shouldnt follow blindly should we?? Or maybe we should when it suits some people, and not when it suits others.
well i think its questioning the religion… thats discouraged. questioning the existence of Allah, questioning if prophet Mohammad (pbuh) really went to Miraj… which btw the kuffar at the time asked over and over again. If one doesnt know how to pray namaz then he should ask as many questions till he/she gets the right way to pray namaz.
YOU DONT SOUND TOO SURE MUNDYAA. ANYWAY IN MY OPINION AND EXPERIENCE BLIND FOLLOWERS WILL ONLY TRULY KNOW OF THE EXISTENCE OF ALLAH IF THEY DO QUESTION HIS EXISTENCE, THERE IS NO OTHER WAY. YOU NEED TO PROVE THAT ALLAH EXISTS IN ORDER FOR PEOPLE TO WORSHIP THEM. ONCE THE QUESTIONS HAVE STOPPED BUT ANSWERS STILL KEEP COMING WILL PEOPLE REALISE THAT ALLAH EXISTS.
designer, im but a human. and so is everyone else on this forum. to ask a human to justify the existence of Allah is like asking urself of the time you spent in ur mothers womb.
i do not have a recollection of it and neither do u. As a young person evolves with time... and he sees other humans born by the same procedure he gives in to the fact that "he must have gone through the same".
Ppl who questioned the existence of Allah existed centuries ago too. There were scores of people who questioned prophet moses, prophet Isaa (jesues) and prophet Muhammad (pbuh)... about the existence of Allah. I beleive in what these prophets had to say about the existence of Allah. And I will never question the existence of Allah. Our prophet (pbuh) as indicated in the hadith has discouraged muslims to question the existence of Allah. There must have been reasons for it. Just like you and I have given in to the fact that we must have been there in our mothers womb even though we have no recollection of it.
For Allah to justify his existence he would have to do what he did centuries ago. That is create earth and humans (Adam and Hawaa). Do we want Allah to show his powers to you? Well he promises to do that on the day of judgment.
Mundyaa,
I agree with what you are saying to an extent, but what if for example someone asks you to prove there is a God? Are you gonna say I cant prove it but I believe it??You should have some comeback. There is a reason for everything, nothing just happens out of the blue. You need to have a solid grounding in your beliefs and this includes reasons for why you believe there is a God.
This is not difficult. Nothing is made out of nothing, there has to be input from something in order for something to be made.
So please I dont think your view of not questioning the existence of Allah is necessarily a good one. It may work for some people and not for others. Everyone is responsible for their own belief, it does not matter how they came to believe it.
Please dont think I am getting at you in any way,I am just putting forward my view. I think that Allah would be more pleased with me If I knew what I was talking about, rather than blindly following other people.
hey why not to ask too many question about religion .. it is against the rationality... if religion fails to answer just one thing then how could it be said the Divine or true religion. And I believe Islam is a True and ratioanal religion .. so one can go on indefinitely asking the questioons ... no problemo
Questioning about Islam and the Prophet is a serious crime! Why, boys? Got something to hide?
I like your part about:
"Not burying your daughters alive"
So, now you kill them, make sure they are dead before burying them!
Islam does not prescribe killing women. If some muslims are guilty of committing these crimes they must have gotten them from their ancestors..... u know the same barbarians who used to burry their widows, eat their ****** after frying the woman, make the low caste women prostitues for the upper class etc. so you see what Islam was up against?
