buty,
welcome back. It's good to see you again
Okay.. so, does that mean there is a "hell" like experience for all Muslims then to pay for sins committed? Or is that only for those sins you don't realise you have committed and therefore have not repented of?
Are you also saying there are two types of Muslims? Those who have a belief in Allah and do the requirements of Islam and those who have just a basic belief in Islam, but don't do the requirements?
If you just believe in Allah but don't do works.. is there salvation? I was a little confused in parts of your reply, but is there automatic entry to paradise.. or is it automatic entry to hell?
Does being a "good" Muslim, make you righteous, or are you righteous because you are a Muslim? I'm still trying to work out if you answered that in your reply, so forgive me if you did.
Thanks so much for replying.
more soon
Carol
