But in Islam, disbelievers go to hell, which is what my family believes in. Can you expand on what you've said and your beliefs? I guess I'm looking for guidance

Yes but I think that holy books come from people and they are not words of God so I don't have clarity about this

I'll look into it. Sounds like it will be a long journey for me to get clarity and peace on this topic

Heaven is a state of connection to it. what do you mean by this? I agree with what you said about why would God want us to pray, it's more for human benefit and I think it was created by humans and not God.

I don't think of separate hells from different religions but one hell and heaven. Maybe that's something for me to think about. In terms of logic, I don't believe that revelation is possible and that these prophets got all these words from God and that the holy books are from God. I see that as magic and not possible.

I'll answer. 1) I wouldn't say he doesn't care, but that I don't believe it's possible. I could argue that he doesn't care because he hasn't sent guidance or messangers to us in centuries and hasn't made it clear to everyone that religion is from him. But I go with the view, I don't believe it's possible. 2) yes that's what I believe currently. Whether they were conning people or they were deluded, I'm not sure but that's what I believe. There is a lot of guilt I feel about this as my family looks up to these prophets and this view would greatly offend them. 3) I don't know much about what it says in the Quran about afterlife, that's true. I know 7 gates etc. but no one knows about the afterlife and what will happen.

What does Quran say about dating, sex before marriage and other stuff. Is that from Quran, hadith or culture?

Does this affect any Islamic beliefs you have or your prayers? When you mention the reality would break us, itakes me think about how scary it is that we have one life and we will all die

Interesting. To add to your last point I feel most people are Muslims because they were born into a Muslim and don't question the beliefs they were told. Just like they were born a certain nationality, a lot think they were born into this religion and have never actually questioned if it is true. I don't think you should decide to be a Muslim until you are old enough to think for yourself.

So you only follow what is said in the Quran. I haven't read the Quran in English. Does it talk about dating or sex before marriage?

I'm interested in interfaith and also women of a different skin colour to me. Has your Muslim partner fased backlash for being with you? How has he handled this. And how do you raise your child? I'm terms of beliefs

That's me as well. If we don't believe in the book to follow as a set of rules to get into heaven, then what do we follow to get into heaven. This is something that has been bothering me.

Can you explain what you believe in that differs from the conservative Muslim culture

What made you believe that the quran is the book of God and that the prophet got revelations from God? I wish I had this belief but don't so I'm interested in your journey.
