why should I follow QURAN O SUNNA

SALAM,

I have been thinking about this for a very long time, Why do we follow any thing that we follow ??

why should I follow islam ? or sunnism , is it because my parents were muslim is it because I actually made an effort to understand every other religion or Firqa and then choose it .

how many of you are following something they actually belived in not because of there parents but because of there understanding …

If you beleive on Islam, sunnism ,shiaism barailwism deobandizm just because of your upbringing then we should call it

APNAY BAAP KA MAZHAB FOLLOW KARTA HUN and
not Prophet Muhammad PBUH ka mazhab OR

Hazrat ALI RA maula nahe huay
maira baap maula hua

Re: why should I follow QURAN O SUNNA

Good question.

Keep in mind:The same argument was given to the prophet SAW by locals.

One does not need to follow religion/sect of forefathers just because.

Re: why should I follow QURAN O SUNNA

Almost every religious person follows the religion of their parents. It's cuz all kids are brainwashed about religion.. and the identity of their parents religion is engraved into them.. its mental child abuse imo..

Re: why should I follow QURAN O SUNNA

Being Ashari, you can't ask questions. Rational thinking is a Mutazili trait only.

I think I confused you more.

Clad! like what diwana said, i believe in “La llaha Illa Allah, Muhammad Rasul Allah” -“There is no God except Allah, Muhammad :saw2: is the Messenger of God”. The acceptance and obedience to the teachings of Allah SWT which HE revealed to His last Prophet Muhammad :saw2:, is the religion of Islam which I believe of my understanding as well as the Sunnah, what Prophet Muhammad :saw2: said, did, or approved of, is the second sacred source of in Islam.

Re: why should I follow QURAN O SUNNA

Absolutely wrong. Its preposterous to put worng information about other sects, thats the root cause of sectarianism.

Difference Ashari and Mutazila is Miutazila put reason about the revelation (wahi) while Asharis put revelation above reason.

Both rely on kalam to prove their point.

Re: why should I follow QURAN O SUNNA

Clad is a very confused kid.

Clad! Its not wise to walk behind elders with close eyes. We r not a child ke jis ki bhi finger pakra di u us ke saath chal pary. Allah SWT! give all of use common-sense so we can choose/decide what is right and what is wrong i.e. a child know who is his parents. This sense is gifted by Allah SWT!

U may read different religious books, then compare it and figure out by urself k which religion is right. U may start-over from the beginning. I born as Muslim and i saw many many peoples embraced Islam but so far i never seen any muslime converted in anyother religion once he became muslim.

In the Quran, God describes Himself: Say, “He is God, the One. God, to Whom the creatures turn for their needs. He begets not, nor was He begotten, and there is none like Him.” (Quran, 112:1-4)

God is not Jesus, and Jesus is not God. (It was reported by the Associated Press, London, on June 25, 1984, that a majority of the Anglican bishops surveyed by a television program said, “Christians are not obliged to believe that Jesus Christ was God.” The poll was of 31 of England’s 39 bishops. The report further stated that 19 of the 31 bishops said it was sufficient to regard Jesus as “God’s supreme agent.” The poll was conducted by London Weekend Television’s weekly religious program, “Credo.”)

Even Jesus himself rejected this. God has said in the Quran: Indeed, they have disbelieved who have said, “God is the Messiah (Jesus), son of Mary.” The Messiah said, “Children of Israel, worship God, my Lord and your Lord. Whoever associates partners in worship with God, then God has forbidden Paradise for him, and his home is the Fire (Hell). For the wrongdoers (The wrongdoers include the polytheists), there will be no helpers.” (Quran, 5:72)

God is not a trinity. God has said in the Quran: Indeed, they disbelieve who say, “God is the third of three (in a trinity),” when there is no god but one God. If they desist not from what they say, truly, a painful punishment will befall the disbelievers among them. Would they not rather repent to God and ask His forgiveness? For God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. The Messiah (Jesus), son of Mary, was no more than a messenger... (Quran, 5:73-75)

The Arabic word Allah means God (the one and only true God who created the whole universe). This word Allah is a name for God, which is used by Arabic speakers, both Arab Muslims and Arab Christians. This word cannot be used to designate anything other than the one true God. The Arabic word Allah occurs in the Quran about 2700 times. In Aramaic, a language related closely to Arabic and the language that Jesus habitually spoke (reference: NIV Compact Dictionary of the Bible, Douglas, p. 42), God is also referred to as Allah.

Re: why should I follow QURAN O SUNNA

^ dost .

1 , you are talking about 1 religion only plus If todays Christian believes that Jesus PBUH was not the son but a prophet do you think they will go to Heaven

2, we have not discussed SHIA SUNNI etc etc as yet

3, how many people actually make an effort to learn

4, should we not emphasise on this more then waisting our energy on barelwi deobandi stuff

Re: why should I follow QURAN O SUNNA

Clad! i believe who read the first Kalma He/she will enter in the heaven. Rest Allah SWT! know better.

Re: why should I follow QURAN O SUNNA

clad ... Peace

Very good question and I urge you to do as you have suggested ... research ... It is sensible to study the madhab of ones own father first because this will cause less conflict and will be easier to understand anyway, since you have been raised that way.

Next is to study those who are closely linked may be even the main opposition. Build up an understanding of what is what. When I was younger I held the belief that there is a right way and a wrong way now I am happy in shades of this is better and that is worse. I am in no need for definites - just choices.

It is important that every Muslim learns a few fard al-'ayn ... Tajweed, Knowledge of Fiqh, Knowledge of 'aqeedah of the given madhab they currently resemble. Then they should seek answers to questions then they should learn about others madhabs and later if they feel it is better for them to be elsewhere ... they go.

I must admit my father has helped me be myself and allowed me to find my own way. I do not share every opinion that he has, but I respect him for providing me the foundation of what I needed.

Re: why should I follow QURAN O SUNNA

i once had the same question. So i made sure i am following the religion for the right reasons=].I never had a connection with God so i made one.

Re: why should I follow QURAN O SUNNA

I used to be quite confused about religion as a teenager. At school they would teach us the Bible, at home my parents would teach us namaz and to read Quran. Nobody explained me much about either religion and I was often afraid to have the wrong religion in the end and get in trouble in the Here After. Then I began reading books about religion. One of the books which changed my life was written by Ahmed Deedat, called 'Muhammad in the Bible'. I read more about why there would be a God, but still I often doubted religion, because in the name of any religion people did all kinds of terrible things. My own family often forbade me even normal things in name of Allah. So did my inlaws after I was married off to my cousin. Only in my twenties I began reading more about what Islam really teaches, then I found out that Islam forbids forcing females in marriage, husbands aren't allowed to beat up any body part of their wife, etc. After that, my doubts about Islam were gone. I've read and still read about different religions, but always my faith in Islam grows stronger, alhamdulilah.
