*avowedly agnostic*
Ur comment *** I'm confused as to what you mean by remaining "steadfast" and exibiting "patience". How are people who've been hit with a powerful earthquake or tusanami, and who subsequently die in their multitudes suppose to remain fast and patient when they're dead?***
The steadfastness and patience part of my dispute concerns those who managed 2 survive after they been through problematical time (nature disasters or any form of tribulations). But 4 those who past away in result, will either enter heaven or hell, so u could consider it as cause 4 them 2 die, knowing the verity each one of us will die one day, whether it’s in the middle of the street being mashed by a car, on the top of their beds, or while they are struggling after a hazardous calamity hits their area, but the result is one *death*. Beside Allah declared in a various verses that righteous ppl who dies in result of a horrendous catastrophe which ensued won’t witness torment. ***Do not think that those who are killed in the cause of God are dead, they are alive at their Lord, being provided for***. (3:169), ***They do not taste death, beyond the first death, and God spares them the retribution of Hell***. (44:56).
These verses demonstrates that when righteous ppl life’s on this earth come 2 the predetermined end, the angel of death simply invites them 2 leave their earthly bodies and move on 2 heaven. Unlike disbelievers, they know at the moment of death that they are destined 4 hell. The angels beat them up on the faces and rear ends in order 4 them 2 evict their souls, and then snatch their souls. They will be put 2 death in a state of nothingness during which they see hell day and night in a continuous nightmare that lasts until the *Day of Judgment*.
Ur comment ***I think that's just wishful thinking on the part of Muslims I'm afraid. Infants are certainly not born with the embedded belief in Allah***
Like I’ve said the children got the ability 2 recognise their creator, and their heart and soul is just like the bulb which can give light, provided it itself is not surrounded with a thick cover or dust, and every human being has that light in his soul. However those who keep it pure can enlighten their path with it, while those who allow the *spiritual dirt* 2 accumulate on it can’t see their path towards Allah, and I presume that’s what happened 2 u, after u disregarded the Islamic principles 4 particular period of time, allowing ur desires 2 take over u, therefore u lost track and pursued the wrong path. At adjacent 2 this *fitra*, Allah has also provided us with various means 2 know Him and believe in Him. He sent prophets and messengers, He sent books, and above all He created thousands of signs in nature which remind us of Him. As asserted *Soon We shall show them Our signs on the horizon and in themselves, until it becomes clear 2 them that this is the Truth*. (41:53) so there’s less chance of the kids losing track unless like I affirmed in my preceding post that their family or the society corrupts their persuasion.
Ur comment ***yes I do accept Darwin's theory as it is currently the only plausible scientific explanation of the origins of life*** / ***If anything, the most kind, loving, warm-hearted and amiable persons I've had the pleasure to meet have been atheists***. And ***It is because I put it to you, He does not exist***
Sorry 2 proclaim this, but ur comments indicates that u are indeed an atheist although ur nick and some of what u stated suggests something else. In my perception an agnostic person won’t declare that Allah doesn’t exist nor s/he would approves evolution theory, but emerges like u are an atheist who’s not willing 2 stand up and state that he dismissed Allah completely, is it becuz u got ur doubts in regard 2 evolution theory, or u think there’s something u didn’t comprehend about Allah and creationism, that makes u mull over and think about it intensely. Oh, on the other hand, no.1 said that atheists are not warm-hearted nor I questioned their commitment 2 humanity, but they committed the worst felony upon themselves when they rebuffed Allah’s true religion and claimed He doesn’t exist, goading a lot of absentminded ppl 2 the wrong path, alongside with all the fabrications they came out with, in order 2 prove their stances.
Ur comment ***It seems to me terribly ironic that Somalis (mind you they're not the only ones) have stamped the seal of taboo on questioning or openly debating the truth or validity of God given that they argue for and against regarding every other subject known to man***
If ur portrayal about us is precise, then how would u clarify my case, since im debating with u? Plus the rational why they attempt 2 avoid such a Q, putting up shutters on the way, is becuz such a disputes will end up in dreadful manner, where each side will try 2 degrade the other end of the argument. *2 be safe is much better, than 2 be sorry*. Well, about my previous Q about ur core-intention behind crossing the threshold 2 this site, was 2 know what kind of person u are, given that most of the atheist and agonistics who participates in this forms affronts our Islamic convictions in a daily basis, so it’s good 2 add an enemy on ur *persecuting list* than 2 regret it afterwards...
*Sabad*
I couldn’t agree more sis/bro. May Allah Bless u with His grace and increase ur knowledge. *Ameen* 2 that...
*Much Esteem and Reverence*
*Bless*
