"Understand, rejectnotfaith, that Islam reflects the same humanistic view of God as the Persians. You see God as this mighty being who does not love mankind enough to do something amazing for us. "
All praise due to Allah, All praise due to God
All praise due to the Creator of the Heaven and the earth
You alone I worship for there are no others worthy of worship
There is no God, but God
I ask of You not to send me riches or wealth, but lead me to the Straigh Path
For it is written that unto You shall I at last be returned
All praise due to God
You know you quoted that I see God as a Mighty Being who does not love mankind enough to do something amazing for us
Amazing? My dear friend, you know I wake up every morning and I say "All praise due to God" and then I say "Thank You God Thank You for everything." Do you know why? Because God loves me enough to offer me shade in a tree, to offer me sustance for that day. God loves me enough that i have a home that i can sleep in and God loves me enough that i open my refrigrator and find food in there.God does not do anything amazing for mankind? Look around you. the birds fly and the trees sway with the wind, and you are not at home comfortable writing you response to this. That is amazing. Thank You God Thank You for everything.
My friend God is most Mericiful and Most Gracious and I cherish Him, love Him, and fear Him to the fullest. He made it a responsibilty that our sins are based up our own actions. Is this a humanistic view or logical view? Does not the God in the Bible wants man to exercise his reason and logic to discover truth? All praise due to God. You see God did do something amazing for us, He gave us life. He gave us life so we may praise Him and Him alone. Islam means submission, and Muslim means surrendering your will to God. And i every single day gladly surrender my will and submit to Him, because I am grateful for the amazing thing He does for me and continues to do for me.
May peace be upon you my friend
