Quote by: The_Genius  Angels are made of light. Angels are different because they are Allah's obedient servants. They never make mistakes or disobey Allah. They do not have free will.
In the Quran, angels actually protested Allah's decision to create Adam since they thought they were obedient enough to serve Allah. Allah replied, "you don't know what I know."
I know. Jews and Christians are people of earlier revelations. Allah emphasized in the Quran that humans actually distorted divine texts such as Torah and Bible and as a result, those texts became myths. Because those stories were mainly spread orally for centuries, which affected their authenticity. However, Allah also said that it is His duty to make sure Quran does not get distorted. Glory to Him, Quran has remained unchanged since it's revelation. It's stories are much, much more reliable than versions that exist in the Torah. Flood, Exodus for example.
No, we prefer sports such as cricket and football over games.
Well, I don't know whether God speaks to Kings or religious leaders. What if, God did speak to Prophets?
Had it ever cross your mind, that if there was no truth in Abrahamic religions, these religions would have been discarded by people of the 21st century? No matter how many times you see the Abrahamic religions in the same light as Greek / Sumerian mythology, you cannot deny that those ancient religions died long ago. Why? Because there was no truth in them and people could see through those man-made religions. The same does not apply to Abrahamic religions... Unlike Greek mythology, people will believe in Allah / God / Elohim for years to come. Truth always prevails. |
I am sorry but I really do not believe people will continue to have faith in religions built on myths. Mohammed did not get his stories from angels. He got them from humans, and as the humans before put his own twist on the stories. We can discuss Mohammed and Islam sanely, but arguing over something that is not tangible, such as a concept of God, is not sane. It is crazy making. Like who was the news reporter in heaven taking down notes when Allah talked with the angels? This is story telling, not a human experience that actually happened and therefore can be reported. When people can not decern the difference between story telling and an account of a human experiece that is was tangle, it is crazy making. When they think these stories give them right to define God and act on this God's will, as did many believed Bush acted on God's will when he took us to war, and when there is unjust prejudice, segregation, persecution and wars, religions are no longer tolerable. The wrongs of religious people, are bring an end to religious beliefs, because the wrongs are not tolerable. The behavior of some Muslims is a very bad way to represent a God. Bush taking us to war, is also a bad way to represent a God.
