Living Islam (mission, prophet, marriage, faith, muslims)

[Cordoba]

Q: What's the Ultimate Reality in Islam?

A: God is the Ultimate Reality, and all other things we see as existent have only a transient existence, which they owe to the Ultimate Reality.

I was wonder to know about those who do not believe in God....
I used to chat with non-muslims, and muslims also.....
the first question I asked to them is, "Who is your Lord?"
Most of them reply, "To believe in God is now ficticious, there is no God but we used the word God to create the peace in the world......"
Many Muslim even.....!
They say, "My mother said me there is God, but who is God? I don't know about that!"
Can any one imagine that he has no God(Helper, Rewarder). and he is here in this world alone?
I will say, they are the people who have no sense, no point of consideration, no aim and they are useless in this world.....

Salam alykom summia

Well, we debated too many athiests here about this issue...they still have a respectful point of view, even if we were to reject it...

I dont claim they right, or even 0.001% right, but they are not certainly stupid, nor useless, so it's better not to generalize this:

Just this accent used to make some troubles here before, which we muslims are trying to eliminate, you know
God bless you..

Why is Islam Unique?

Simplicity, Rationality and Practicality

Unity of Matter and Spirit

A unique feature of Islam is that it does not divide life into watertight compartments of matter and spirit. It stands not for denial of life but for the fulfillment of life. Islam does not believe in asceticism. It does not ask man to avoid material things. It holds that spiritual elevation is to be achieved by living piously in the rough and tumble of life, not by renouncing the world.

Islam, a Complete Way of Life

Balance between the Individual and Society

Permanence and Change

Complete Record of Teachings Preserved
