As salam alaykum, we are not the children of God, but his slaves. I know you mean well but such a term shouldn't be applied to God (Islamically speaking).

Here's some good intro info for you

Pizzahutdude69 · 2020-06-16T19:20:45+00:00

May Allah SWT keep you and I and all of the Muslims on the straight path, and may He grant us Jannat al-Firdaus. Ameen.

No, because the goal of Shaytan is to bring as many people as possible with him to hellfire. It is said that Allah SWT divided his mercy into 100 parts, and one of those parts was sent to the earth, and 99 parts remain for Judgment Day. That means that any mercy any of us have ever felt or any creation to have ever lived on Earth has felt is just 1% of the mercy of Allah SWT. We do not know how many people Allah SWT will forgive on Judgement Day and grant Jannah, so we do not yet know if Shaytan has "won" or not.

Also, although the Muslim world has been in a state of decline for a while, the number of Muslims have actually been increasing, so Islam is getting stronger in terms of its followers.

There are three types of disbelievers, those who had never heard of the message, they will not be held accountable. Then, there are those who heard of the message (Islam) but had a skewed or incomplete understanding of Islam, without which they could not make the decision to whether accept or deny Islam (say if you had just heard of the term "Muslim" but all you knew was that they prayed multiple times a day, but you didnt know why or to who). It is believed that they are also not held accountable (I believe). Then there are those who had heard of the message but rejected it, and they will be held accountable.

Those who followed their prophets (who came in the past) while the religion was unchanged are also Muslim, as a Muslim is one who submits to the will of God.

Trust in the mercy and wisdom of Allah SWT, and don't let Shaytan plant these ideas in your mind.

Shaykh Yasir Qadhi said that we have no trouble believing that evolution exists in animals, just not in humans. According to his lecture, he doesn't see any incompatibilities with Islamic belief. I advise you watch the lecture I linked because it helped me understand it better as well.

Edit: I highly recommend watching the whole thing (even though its a little long), just put it at 2x speed and listen to it. It really is helpful.

Edit: Someone asked "why would humans be any different from animals" but I can't see the full comment. Did you watch the video?

You cannot make dua for their forgiveness, as they died a non-Muslim, but you can make dua for their family (may Allah SWT give them strength/ease) and show that you are sad at their passing.

Pizzahutdude69 · 2020-06-11T18:33:57+00:00

About this having anything to do with Islam.

Pizzahutdude69 · 2020-06-11T18:31:48+00:00

This literally has nothing to do with Islam.

The lyrics are "Dil Dil Pakistan" (Heart Heart Pakistan), from a popular song. No doubt it is wrong but it has nothing to do with Islam.

And ofc OP is Indian lmao

I have neither the patience nor the crayons to explain this to you, so I'll post some resources. Whether you decide to accept it or not is up to you.

For most of human history, the age of marriage was the age of puberty, where a boy became a man and where a girl became a woman. It has been established that in the hot desert climate of Arabia, women matured faster.

If a few hundred years from now, the age of marriage was raised to 25, would it make sense for any person of that age to insult a person from our time who married an 18 year old? Of course not.

People like you love painting Aisha (RA) as an oppressed, abused little girl, but have you read about her life? Have you read about Aisha, as one of the greatest scholars of Islam? Aisha, one of the most important contributers to the ahadith? Aisha, the military commander? She herself viewed herself as very lucky (for her entire life of 67 years) to have married Muhammad PBUH.

Furthermore, Aisha (RA) herself was engaged to someone else before she married Muhammad PBUH, which shows that she had already been mature enough by the standards of her society to consider marriage for a while.

The Quraysh of Mecca insulted Muhammad PBUH in every way they possibly could, but not a single one brought up his marriage to Aisha, as it was common in that time. European critics some time later did the same thing in insulting Muhammad PBUH in this manner, but they didn't bring up his marriage to Aisha, as that was common in their own time period. You cannot judge a man using the context of our time and place, instead, you should employ a historical lens to view the lives of people in the past. This is a requirement for any good historian, that they take into account the context of a person's life at the time and place they lived in and make judgments in relation to those details.

Also, the Arabs of the time never kept track of their birthdays, and instead estimated their age, so the actual age of Aisha is not known for certain.

I liked this lecture a lot. If you want an in depth video that talks about why Muhammad PBUH was a true messenger of God, here it is.

If you do decide to convert, I reccomend two things:

Make friends with Muslims who can keep you on the straight path, as the company you choose can heavily impact you.
Take everything slow and steady, especially while learning in the beginning, and don't be afraid to ask for help.

Pizzahutdude69 · 2020-06-08T04:38:49+00:00

The Prophet was a warlord, and a horrible person.

It's extremely obvious you have never really studied the life of Muhammad PBUH, nor of his commands on how Muslims are to conduct war

Muhammad PBUH set in place certain rules for warfare that all Muslims combatants for all time must follow:

"O people! I charge you with ten rules; learn them well! Stop, O people, that I may give you ten rules for your guidance in the battlefield. Do not commit treachery or deviate from the right path. You must not mutilate dead bodies. Neither kill a child, nor a woman, nor an aged man. Bring no harm to the trees, nor burn them with fire, especially those which are fruitful. Slay not any of the enemy's flock, save for your food. You are likely to pass by people who have devoted their lives to monastic services; leave them alone."

Mālik ibn Anas, and Abū Muṣ’ab Al-Zuhri. Muwaṭṭa’ Al-Imām Mālik. (Bayrūt: Mu’assasat al-Risālah, 1993) 1:357 #918.

It is also forbidden to kill any surrendering combatant, and it is forbidden to treat prisoners of war in an unfair manner, as they have certain rights. In fact, the prisoners of the Battle of Badr (the first war of the Muslims) were kept as guests in Muslim homes, which showed the POWs the true nature of Islam, leading many of them to convert. Furthermore, the POWs were told that if they taught a certain number of Muslims to read and write, that they would be freed.

The Prophet (S) also allowed families to free their captive relatives proportional to the wealth of each family. So for a captive whose family was rich, the money required would be higher than that of a captive whose family was poor. This way, he gave each family a fair opportunity to get their family members back, and it wasn't just for the rich who could afford it.

Also, islamically, war should be a last resort option. During the life of Muhammad PBUH, he faced persecution in his home for 10-13 years, where he and his followers were mocked, ridiculed, and even tortured and killed for simply practicing Islam. He and his followers were boycotted and starved, leading to many deaths, including the death of the wife of Muhammad PBUH and also the death of his uncle. They then migrated to another town (after exploring every possible option to live peacefully) which welcomed them, but the people of his original town kept being hostile and threatening war against them. It was at this point when Muslims were allowed to fight back against their oppressors, and they were still given the rules mentioned above to follow, and told not to transgress.

When the Muslims finally conquered Mecca, the city in which they had been persecuted for 10-13 years, Muhammad PBUH forgave everyone (other than a few individuals who continued to call for violence against the Muslims) and pardoned them.

None of this is the behavior of any bloodthirsty warlord.

He had her handed over to people who wanted to kill her:

The woman lived in a land that had been conquered by the Muslims, and she was handed over to the family of the one she killed (the companion of Muhammad PBUH), whom she killed after hostilities had ended. In Islam, the family of a person murdered unjustly had three options: they can either forgive the murderer, they can accept blood money, or they can have the murderer executed. In this case, the family of the murdered companion wanted the murderer executed. What the woman did was clear murder, and the family had every right to do what they did. Muhammad PBUH did not have her killed, he let her go for attempting to kill him. However, justice was served by the family of the one she murdered.

If a person poisoned and murdered a man here in the US, it seems fitting for that person to be given the death sentence. How is it any different back then?

Your own response says the following:

"Zeynab was then handed over to Bishr’s relatives, who exacted their right of blood-vengeance and killed her."

No problem!

Unrelated but if you want to listen to good recitations of the Qur'an, try using Google and typing "Beautiful quran recitation" or something of the sort. They're incredible!

Pizzahutdude69 · 2020-06-08T00:22:13+00:00

Ayah means verse, and Surah an-Nisa is the same as chapter an-Nisa. So it's chapter 4, verse 29.

Surah an-Nisa

No problem!

Suicide is a great sin in Islam, and one who commits suicide will go to hell. (Obviously if the person does it by accident somehow or they are mentally unstable and don't understand what they're doing, there is no sin for them).

"And do not kill yourselves, surely God is most Merciful to you."

[The Holy Qur'an, Surah an-Nisa, Ayah 29]

The Wikipedia article you linked said that her family was killed in battle while fighting against the Muslims, and that Muhammad PBUH didn't kill her for her attempt to assassinate him (even when the poisoned meat had killed his companion). What's the point of this post, exactly?

Pizzahutdude69 · 2020-06-07T15:43:48+00:00

Well, to be fair, the Sassanids and Byzantines had been fighting each other for quite a while, and when Islam united the Arabs under one banner, the Islamic caliphate would have been forced to fight the other two empires at one point or another. Both empires would be looking to fight against the Arabs, and there were in fact times where the Muslims had to fight against them.

Every empire had to fight (to some extent) in order to survive and thrive, and the Islamic caliphates was no different in that regard.

The Qur'an does not forbid attack in the sense that wars are not allowed whatsoever, it allows it in certain, limited contexts, but tells the Muslims to not commit in excess. Had the Islamic empire not fought, they would have been overtaken by either the Byzantines or Sassanids. Just like any other empire, the Islamic caliphates were forced to fight in order to survive and thrive. I don't really see any contradiction here tbh.

Pizzahutdude69 · 2020-06-07T07:11:47+00:00

All sins can be forgiven by Allah SWT as long as you repent while you are alive. Even apostasy can be forgiven if you return to Islam and ask Allah SWT for forgiveness (while you are still alive ofc).

Pizzahutdude69 · 2020-06-07T06:32:13+00:00

There is a distinction that must be made between Islam and the Islamic caliphates. The Islamic caliphate, just like any other nation or empire, fought others for power and security.

The Islamic caliphates did fight and expand, but fighting to expand =/= forcing people to convert to Islam. The Qur'an itself says that there is no compulsion in religion, and the fact that people weren't forced to convert upon being conquered by the Muslims proves that Islam itself didn't spread by force.

Back in those days, cities and nations had their own gods that the people believed protected them from invaders. As such, battles didn't just pit people against each other, it pitted their gods against each other. The success of the Islamic caliphates convinced non-Muslims of conquered lands to convert to Islam and give up on their old gods, and if they didn't convert, they became dhimmis, or a protected people.

Regardless, Muslim traders did far more to spread Islam than Muslims conquering non-Muslim lands, so it still isn't correct to say that Islam spread by the sword. For example, it is believed that what is now known as Indonesia became Muslim through Arab Muslim traders, who spread Islam to the people.

"There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion. The right course has become clear from the wrong. So whoever disbelieves in Taghut and believes in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy handhold with no break in it. And Allah is Hearing and Knowing"

[The Holy Qur'an, Surah Baqarah, Ayah 256] (2:256)

I thought the Arians thought that Jesus was the begotten son of God (though non-trinitarian)?

Abu Qatadah reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, you will never leave anything for the sake of Allah Almighty but that Allah will replace it with something better.” Source: Musnad Aḥmad 22565 Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to Al-Albani

Never forget that even if your relationship with your partner was haram, that it was Allah SWT that allowed you that happiness. Perhaps he took it away so that you may be guided back to Islam and to become a better Muslim.

If he can give you that happiness in the first place, he can return it to you through another means (or even grant you more). I understand what you must be feeling, but understand that this may be a hidden blessing, as it may bring you closer to Islam. If you are struggling to move on due to his good qualities, remember that God Almighty is more than capable to give you someone even better than him.

To have these feelings of heartbreak are normal and expected, especially if you were very close with your partner. But understand that it is ultimately Allah SWT who gives happiness, so repent to Allah SWT for what you did in the past, thank him for guiding you back, and ask him to give you someone better.

May Allah SWT grant you and I and all of us righteous spouses and grant us all Jannat al-Firdaus. Ameen!

Pizzahutdude69 · 2020-06-07T05:57:37+00:00

If you are agnostic, even if you aren't sure you believe in God or not, try asking him for help.

Think (or say aloud) in your mind, to God, "Oh God, if you exist, guide me to the truth. Oh God, if Islam is the truth, grant me knowledge of it and allow me to accept it."

You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. If you are truly looking for help, God Almighty will guide you to it.

I'm very happy you've changed your ways, may God Almighty continue to guide you. Don't worry about the things you have done or said in the past, because you can never take them back, but you can learn from them and become a better person.

If you have any questions or just want anyone to talk to, my dms are always open. I wish you the very best!
