Carol_Au,
I don’t believe Allah (GOD) has his “hand” in our day-to-day lives as most think. I don’t think god sits there saying well, this person will be shot, this person will now be hit by a car, etc…, etc… It also holds true for when good things happen to you. I honestly don’t think god is doing this (I hope this is not being blasphemes). Once god created, the universe, earth, humans it was all set in motion to play out. Even the prophets had a choice whether to follow gods’ word or not. The reason I think this way is, it helps to explain all the injustice in the world. Otherwise it would seem Allah (God) is very harsh.
I’ll give you a very personal account of this, my uncle (R.I.P) died about 5 years ago from cancer, during his year long stay in the hospital he was in constant pain. My uncle was a very religious and devote Muslim, so why did this happen to him? It’s not because Allah wanted this to happen, it just happened. The only thing I believe god has any say in is the time/date we die, but how we die, live our lives, etc… is up to us! Am I wrong?
Bushmaster,
No I don’t believe that every practicing Muslim is a FOB. I just wanted to explain that I didn’t just come to North America, I grew up here. So it’s not like I’ve only heard about Islam and nothing else.
But as a Muslim I don’t believe Jesus is god or the son of god. According to Islam (Qur’an) he was never caught or crucified. I’m sure somebody more knowledgeable in the Qur’an can post a reference to a sura.
I wanted to see the movie, because I heard it was good. And I thought I may learn something that I didn’t know. The movie was very good, in terms of authenticity, cinematography, etc.. But I don’t believe the he was caught or crucified!
“Who ever got crucified”, that was a general statement. Jesus was not the only person that ever got crucified. It was very common for Romans to crucify anybody that apposed them.
Unite,
Good points. But a good majority of Christians believe that Jesus is either the son, or he is actually god. Will these ignorant people be punished?
