Welcome to the forum! Don't let others pressure you into what you don't feel comfortable with. Often we hear of it the other way around, the guy pushing the girl towards sexual promiscuity. I think your attitude is very sensible. :)
Oops sorry, I meant that they believe Jesus died when the Quran says Jesus was raised up to God and will come back to Earth, as a sign of the day of Judgement.
I think they believe Jesus already died, or is it something else...? It is stated in the Quran he will, and its a sign of the day of judgement, so I'm not sure how much that and other things go towards them having left the original message of the Quran.
Ok, this is a controversial topic, understandably. But a topic that is nonetheless important to examine because both 'sides' say they are following Gods law, both 'sides' want to follow Islam correctly. I respect both groups to have their opinions.
I think both perspectives need to ask...
Interesting perspective. I think its perfectly acceptable to praise the Messengers as well, I meant upholding Prophet Muhammad in relation to them.
I'm not sure I agree with that hadith.
Oh, I hope you don't mind my asking, but are you Muslim or Baha'i?
Thanks for your help Bismillah! (and Dawud Talut, although he appears to have deleted his comment?) InshAllah I will have the post up soon, as I am still adding to the resources.
I agree Prophet Muhammad is truly a great Prophet and a man of great character, as stated in the Quran. But I was wondering what everyone's opinion is on calling him the best of the servants or Prophets of God? Does this go against the Quran or not in your opinion?
In Islam we believe what you mentioned: that ultimately nothing can be comparable to Him. Pronouns are more about convention. Surah Ikhlas explains this:
Say: He is Allah, the One and Only!
Allah, the Eternal, Absolute;
He begetteth not nor is He begotten.
And there is none...
The whole aspect of repentance where Allah (swt) will blot out your sins, if you turn to Him and do good deeds, the emphasis on His mercy. I've done a blog article on 'Hope' the link is to the blog is on my profile.
