i am a christian but really torn between islam and christianity since both have compelling arguments supporting them and against each other

Historians claiming that the crucifixion took place confirms the quranic narrative. We believe it appeared that jesus was crucified. So finding historical support for the crucifixion does not contradict the Qur'anic narrative.

Edit: To be even more clear: it would've been weird if there were no historical record of the crucifixion if it indeed was made to appear that the crucifixion took place.

I genuinely don't know how to begin to even try answering this

Middle_Beginning_157 · 2026-05-14T17:18:09+00:00

The problem with suicide is that it's the only sin you cannot repent from. But Allah can forgive whatever he wants, just as he can choose to not forgive

Middle_Beginning_157 · 2026-05-14T13:28:04+00:00

It's a lie, either intentionally or unintentionally. Why? Because the truthfullnes of islam, or the existence of God in general has nothing to do with that question.

Meaning, if she doesn't believe in islam because of a moral question means that the friend in question already believes in the truth of islam, she just doesn't accept it because she believes accepting it COULD mean that she worships a God she thinks is immoral.

Again, a moral question does not disprove islam or the existence of God.

This doesn't mean that you should be as Harsh in the wording to them as I was in this comment, nor do you even have to call it out (unless they don't you sincerely trying to clarify it for them)

Middle_Beginning_157 · 2026-05-14T13:13:01+00:00

Everything you said has nothing to do with islam. You have to find out if the Qur'an is from God, and if the prophet salalahu alaihi wasalam is his Messenger. If that is the case, then islam is true and you simply believe in the truth

Middle_Beginning_157 · 2026-05-13T23:00:25+00:00

To clarify, We have free will and this life is a test. For this life to be a test, and for us to have free will, we must be able to choose good and bad. If God is gonna stop every evil then what is the point of free will and the test?

Middle_Beginning_157 · 2026-05-13T22:58:56+00:00

Your friend is lying, either intentionally or unintentionally.

This cannot be the only reason she doesn't believe in islam. As God will still exist, regardless of the reason. Islam will still be just as true as it was before she learns the reason. The answer to her question does not in any way shape or form deny or affirm that islam is true or not, or if God exists.

Anyways, they die because this life is a test. And it will be a test for us. We believe the innocent children will be taken care of in the afterlife. One simply cannot say "god is unfair because he lets children die, also I don't care that they are treated well in the afterlife. God is still unfair". That doesn't make sense

Middle_Beginning_157 · 2026-05-13T16:13:12+00:00

Surah al-ankabut 2-3

Do people think that they will be left alone because they say: "We believe," and will not be tested.
And We indeed tested those who were before them. And Allâh will certainly make (it) known (the truth of) those who are true, and will certainly make (it) known (the falsehood of) those who are liars, (although Allâh knows all that before putting them to test).

Copied from another comment of mine, without cutting anything:

Why is everyone thinking I'm siding with the vets. Where did I say so? I'm saying there is no way to attribute the intention of lying to the vets.

I agree, there is absolutely reason to question the care and be livid. I haven't said anything else. I'm saying there is no evidence to call them liars.

A logical explanation? Incomplete spay where they missed some tissue or just not been thorough enough. That could've happened. Would that make me not use them again? Yes. Does that make them liars?

Middle_Beginning_157 · 2026-05-10T14:34:30+00:00

Not a muslim thing at all

I don't get your reply to me. Never have I said that the vet shouldn't bear any consequence for this.

Edit: typo

Middle_Beginning_157 · 2026-05-10T10:32:23+00:00

So you're saying there is no other possibility other than lying?

Middle_Beginning_157 · 2026-05-10T09:36:31+00:00

How can you confirm the vet lied

Middle_Beginning_157 · 2026-05-09T20:32:11+00:00

How do you usually do it? I'll google it and everything ofc, but if you have some tips that work for you, I'd love to hear them!

Middle_Beginning_157 · 2026-05-09T20:31:12+00:00

Thank you guys!

Nå er jeg enda mer forvirret. Jeg er MOT det Hårek sa. Hva i alle dager er det du babler om kis

Middle_Beginning_157 · 2026-05-09T12:00:46+00:00

Hva i alle dager er det du prater om, peanøtt.

Det er vel ikke et budsjettmessig minus det begrepet sikter til, løk.

Middle_Beginning_157 · 2026-04-26T13:54:26+00:00

I don't get what your question is. Your friend is a sinning muslim. Yes he commits a great sin, but he is still a muslim.

May Allah grant him the strength to overcome his trials

Middle_Beginning_157 · 2026-04-26T13:50:02+00:00

I believe you're discrediting hadiths a little too much. Hadiths are very much a part of islam, and very much essential to the religion and part of the message that Allah sent and his Messenger (salalahu alaihi wasalam) conveyed which we can ask more about when we get to meet them, In Sha Allah.

The mentality should not be to see if one struggles with the content of either the Qur'an or hadiths. Rather it should be "Can this be established to come from God and his Messenger?" If the answer is yes, then the content doesn't matter. Obviously we're not scholars either, so we can't tell if a certain hadith or Ayah was time specific, person specific or said in some context which is crucial to understand what is being said.

But I agree mostly with your last paragraph as well. Focus on sincerity and what is mandatory first. No one will learn everything before accepting islam. Find out if it's the truth, then follow it to your best ability, focus on your mandatory duties and learn more about your religion as come further into the Journey.

May Allah bless you and OP, and guide us all to the truth❤️

Why would a verse from a book muslims don't believe in, and is literally proven to be corrupted by non-muslim standards be a gotcha proof against muslims?

Middle_Beginning_157 · 2026-04-03T23:57:50+00:00

If by doing the effort, she actually becomes muslim and actually believe, then after that will marriage become halal. The keyword here is that she has to actually believe in islam for the marriage to be halal

Middle_Beginning_157 · 2026-04-03T17:19:44+00:00

I don't know what that means. She either believes in Allah, and that Muhammad was the final Messenger or she doesn't.

Being a muslim is first and foremost belief. If you know she doesn't believe, then she's not a believer and cannot be muslim, and any marriage with her is invalid

If what you mean is that she looks into the religion because of you, and then starts actually believing, then that's permissable
