that is exactly what many non-muslims accuse Islam as....
as a religion which does not allow thinking....
u r free to think in the religion....
infact u must think....
a hadith, i forgot the exact source, says "tafaqahu fee deen"
i.e. contemplate in your religion....
u r not forced to believe anything.... Quran 2:256 here is no compulsion in religion
understanding the things is the only way u can succeed.... Quran 2:269 He granteth wisdom to whom He pleaseth; and he to whom wisdom is granted receiveth indeed a benefit overflowing; but none will grasp the message but men of understanding.
ponder, try to understand the words of Allah.... Quran 4:82 Will they not then ponder on the Qur'an?
dont just follow it blindly, think about it.... Quran 38:29 (This is) a Scripture that We have revealed unto thee, full of blessing, that they may ponder its revelations, and that men of understanding may reflect.
and if u dont seek to understand, do u keep ur hearts locked???? Quran 47:24 Do they not then earnestly seek to understand the Qur'an or are their hearts locked up by them?
2.)being a Prophet bohot physically demanding position thi, Prophets had to goto war, they were beaten, they were soldiers also isliyai women werent given the rank of Prophet but that does not take away kai islam mein women ki izat bohot hai
====================================
Was there any other prophet who went to war other than prophet Mohammed??
quote by AR Mughal;
u r not forced to believe anything....
Quran 2:256
here is no compulsion in religion
**
If ther is no compulsion in religion, what is the punishment for a person who is a muslim and then he thinks about it as ordained by Allah and then decides to change his religion. If there is no compulsion in religion. Is he going to be punished for thinking as ordered in Koran?**
Quran 2:256-257 Let there be no compulsion in religion. Truth stands out clear from error; whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things.
Allah is the Protector of those who have faith: from the depths of darkness He will lead them forth into light. Of those who reject faith the patrons are the Evil Ones: from light they will lead them forth into the depths of darkness. They will be companions of the fire to dwell therein (for ever).
hope that answers ur questions....
and if it did not, read it again and analyze it, u will know why u r still in darkness....

and also, yes other prophets too have gone to war....
David (Dawood aleyhi salam) killed Goliath, that wasnt in a wrestling match or boxing championship....
there r other examples too, but this shud suffice....

You did not even read my question or attempted to answer anything, instead started biased, immature and prejudiced remarks in a mudslinging fashion which only shows immaturity on your part and failure to intitiate any meaningful discussion. No wonder why there is so much intolerance............
.......darkness and light are only relative terms, what you consider light may be considered darkness by others............. case closed.
