Why DO you believe?

Re: Why DO you believe?

Just count the signs of HIS existence. Just look at yourself in the mirror. Observe different animals, plants, planets, the universe. There are innumerable signs, but ONLY if someone wants to believe.

Even a human example is sufficient. I would recommend all agnostics/atheists to study in complete detail e.g their respiratory system, nervous system, reproductive system. Anything. Things are here becuase they are CREATED.

My question is for everyone… Why do you believe in Islam? Or why believe in any religion at all? None of it is based in fact, its all just stuff that we are asked to assume as being the truth.
Do any of you ever have doubts, that perhaps your religion is wrong or that perhaps all religins are wrong? Its seems that as science progresses and we gain more and more knowledge regarding ourselves and our world, religion seems to be wobble ever so precariously on the edge of irrelevance.
What makes you people so certain that you belong to the true religion?
So basically no long winded preaching sessions just a few reason why someone should believe in Islam..

Ever since the existence of human kind there has been a urge to find answers to their problems, Religions have in many ways satisfied that apetite. Whether you believe in a certain God or not or you simply do not believe in life after death, that is based on one’s conditioning of the mind, environment, time of existence and opportunities. Whether you believe in Allah, Yewa or Ram these are names which mankind has designated as a reference point.

Faith has to come from the heart, not the mind. Either you have it, or not.

I am amazed at the thought that Hope could not exist without God.

In fact, it is very pertinent to ask if God exists in very hopeless situation (like persecution of innocent ppl (jews and Iraqis), so frequent in this world.)

What is hope? A feeling that soemthing better might happen. That is, a chance of something happening is greater than 0. People can rationalize this “chance” on a number of reasons. Some might think of God or Gods, some might think of some rational arguments like statistics, etc.

It is upto a person to rationalize “hope”, but “hope” does exist without God. There r millions of agnostics and atheists in thr world. Are u telling me that all such ppl live in asylums for incurable depression and pessimism?

I think not.

I guess the real question you ought to ask your self is that will the mankind progress even a step forward if there were no problems/challenges/issues/hurdles? I can guarantee you that if there are no hindrances or problems we will not develop even an inch further morally, materialistically, or scientifically. A quick study of the Holy Quran will reveal beyond a shadow of doubt that humans respond to either warnings or good news (glad tidings) and this is confirmed from everyday observations. We would either change our attitudes out of fear for consequences or in anticipation of good reward. That is what drives us. Starting today if you were to start living in a perfectly peaceful world (which is impossible) I can assure you that would be our collective death sentences. Without challenges/hurdles/problems we will loose our purpose.

@AvgAmericanGirl

Maybe because I want to believe in the miracle of God.

Purpose of life.

Goodness of mankind.

A reason for being.

The hope that there must be a reason.

Joy.

Sadness.

To find an answer to all the why questions.

Why would there be hope if God didn’t exist?

If the purpose of God is to give hope, and hope is the ultimate rational for believing in god, then why should I believe in Islam, or anyother religion if all other options can also provide me with hope?
And why should people then be offended by heretics and fitnas. Why would they want to purge their religion of these people and exclude them when all we are looking for is hope?

These people still “hope” there is life after death… But its the certainty of it that a god provides, thats what they lack…

I believe in God because I have seen signs of His existence. I have had my prayers answered in times of need. Besides that, my logical mind refuses to believe that all these creations, which exist in perfect harmony with each other, forces of nature which perfectly balance each other out, all this we see around us exists due to a “fluke” or a random chance. There is a Creator who created all this with purpose, and His command has to be followed.

Also, read Surah Rahman, you might find some answers there.

You can see the perfection of life outside of god..Natural evolution is the answer..
Things started out chaotic but then as things settled down the universe by definition had to form into a more ordered exisitance. Chaotic Universes died out or just simply failed to offer the ingredients for life. We are a product of luck.
Everything and its perfection is a result of this natural falling into place. Any example, the human circulatory system, very complex and yet functions like clock work… But even it started out very basic, and evolved so that those animals with less refined circulatory system died out while those with better ones lived on a and reproduced until they got to us. Its like taking a great car, building on adding new things according to the needs of the day until eventually arriving at a car thats suited for every environment..

OK, u r saying that survival drives the social change? I agree with u

What has it got to do with the topic that Hope can or can not exist without God?

Re: Why DO you believe?

what ppl? agnostics and atheists?

Both I think… Atheists still want to believe their is an afterlife.
Agnostics arent sure but they to are hoping there is a god which provides them the sense of certainty that they will live on.

i dunoo where u hang out, but both statements r not true, as far as my experience is concerned.

I have seen many atheists, who would laugh at the very thought of afterlife.

And agnostics do not hope for the existence of God. People brought up in godless societies like China and Russia, often wonder why ppl belive in God.

Re: Why DO you believe?

@PaKpatriot1

So how do you continue to believe in Islam and Allah when all evidence seems to point to the contrary.

so this is the reason you hate “mullah” so much.

Re: Why DO you believe?

i believe in islam coz Quran's Miracle that it can be memorized by 7 year old child to 100 year old man. this is a miracle which no other book has.

Re: Why DO you believe?

i think this thread was "Why do you believe in Islam?"
you should start another thread regarding God's existence.
