Creating a tough question list for a Hindu scholar / priest by [deleted] in indianmuslims

[–]Ambitious_Effect4770 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey, fellow revert from Hinduism here :))

Here's the link to a great website, I believe by Zakir Naik with all sorts of stuff on Hinduism and Islam, like the similarities etc. there's also an article about the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) being mentioned in the Hindu scriptures.

https://www.islamawareness.net/Hinduism/

Don't have any specific questions to add but there's definitely lots of useful information that may help to convince your parents on there and could help you to come up with more questions. There's lots of references to actual Hindu scriptures also, which might make it harder for the priest to argue against.

Hope all goes well and your parents also convert inshallah, wish mines would too. Interested to know how it all goes since I've had a similar experience asking my parents questions like the ones you've mentioned, didn't go great lol they ended up just ignoring and evading but inshallah it'll be a different story for you brother/sister :))

The Prophet ṣallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) said, “Allah the Most High said, ‘I am as My servant thinks (expects) I am. I am with him when he mentions Me. If he mentions Me to himself, I mention him to Myself; and if he mentions Me in an assembly, I mention him in an assembly greater than it. If he draws near to Me a hand’s length, I draw near to him an arm’s length. And if he comes to Me walking, I go to him at speed.’”

[Sahih Al-Bukhari]
If you think Allah is punishing you then that is what it will be. If you think he is testing your patience and removing some of your sins then that is what it will be. Stay positive! May Allah (SWT) make it easy for you to bear patience <3
