As a teacher asks his students not to cheat while he knew that some are going to cheat. As a doctor advises his patients not to eat junk, unhealthy food while he knew that some are going to diobey him. As a ruler asks his nation to follow the rules while he knew that there are some who are...

Sixth, the Christ is not God's son in the pysical meaning as we find a lot of scriptures, using the term God's son metaphorically: "Luke 6:35 But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of...

From an Islamic point of view, nothing is left to coincidence or chance. Everything is destined by God (except the things we do by ourselves)... Yes, I believe I am meant to meet some people. And I believe that there is wisdom behind meeting those people. That's why I always ask myself: " What...

Well, shall I say that you reject reason and logic to preserve faith? I think there are 3 situations towards one's Holy Book: 1- Spirituality alone 2- Logic and reason alone 3- both: logic and spirituality. Actually, the motif behind writing this thread was my reading about Imam AlGhazali...

Well, Soleil10, now, I am understanding you better. You want to say that God's will is done when His Words are really practised. Then,I think there is a misunderstanding about the meaning of "God's will"... Now, let's focus on the story of Adam and Eve. Most people misunderstand this story...

I agree.. Also, we can compare this to the three status a true believer switch between: the status of "fear', the status of "hope" and the status of "love"..When a beiever is in an abstarct mentalistic knowing, the status of "fear" is present, but when the spiritual heart is activated, the...

Well, Soleil10, do you think that we can stand in the way of God' plan?!! Do you want to say that God's power is so that weak that we the powerless, dependent human beings interfer to break it down? If so, then you dont give God the right credit He deserves?! There is no "imagine if" because...

Peace be upon you, Netti-Netti Actually, to say that God is unknowable in the Quran is not very true unless it is meant in the physical aspect. Through mediating into the universe, one feels there is a great Creator for all these. Hence, in order to know who is this creator, God sent...

Well, Alex. It has nothing to do with the science forums cz the essence is to ask what the measure of one's conviction in his/her Holy Book. Is it the scientific findings or the spiritual experience? In other words, how can one be fully sure of the reliability of his/her Holy Book. Is it through...

Fair enough, GlorytoGod. The question now is: What would you do if scientific findings come in contardiction with what your Holy Book teaches? Would you lose confidence in your Holy Book? Or would you reconcile with this through the spiritual support your attachment to your Holy Book gives?

Then, if we assume that God changes his plan, we simply admit that he is not a god. God is All Wise, All Strong and All Omniscient that He knows exactly what He is doing, and that there wasnt/isnt/wont be a single mistake in His plan. He is All Just and Perfect.

Peace to you all, I just want to know the real measure of the reliability of your Holy Books. Is science a reliable measure for the accuracy of a holy book? What if a holy book contradicts science? Do people lose faith in their holy book if it goes against scientific facts?! Another question...

So, do you think that God changes His plans?!

Of course, greymare...

I agree Netti-Netti.. Actually, the essence of religion, any religion, is to know who you are to worship. Knowledge is all in all because once you know God, one's love grow to Him, and hence connecting him, following His commandments, and seeking His pleasure becomes a pleasure in itself as...

I totally agree with, Darren. Actually, it takes time for one to digest this idea, and still seems hard for one to accept. Why? Simply because we dont know the full truth. @ soleil10 I am going to give you a simple example Soleil. One day, a shop owner was standing at the door of his shop...

[112:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful [112:1] Proclaim, "He is the One and only GOD. [112:2] "The Absolute GOD. [112:3] "Never did He beget. Nor was He begotten. <A name=4>[112:4] "None equals Him." Hence to say that God is unkownable in Islam is meant to be in the...

[/B] [25:63] The worshipers of the Most Gracious are those who tread the earth gently, and when the ignorant speak to them, they only utter peace.

It is nice to start with peace, inuk. Peace said, peace practised. God says: [61:2] O you who believe, why do you say what you do not do? [61:3] Most abominable in the sight of GOD is that you say what you do not do. Concerning my seeking of truth, let me tell you that it is a non-stop...

Sometimes God's love takes the form of not giving / depriving... Sometimes depriving is the core of giving...
