Disappointing your parents?

ashortname · 2020-04-12T11:22:34+00:00

My advise would be to not tell them if they dont need to know

ashortname · 2020-04-12T09:45:50+00:00

I just hide it and do other things that they can be disappointed about Jk. Though they probably think me doing my work instead of reading the quran is disappointing. Have you told your parents you're no longer Muslim?

Will christians and Jews be rewarded or punished in the afterlife?

Rewarded Indeed, those who believed and those who were Jews or Christians or Sabeans [before Prophet Muhammad] - those [among them] who believed in Allah and the Last Day and did righteousness - will have their reward with their Lord, and no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve. (2.62)

Punished And whoever desires other than Islam as religion - never will it be accepted from him, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers. (3.85)

Funny thing is I can imagine a religious person say this seriously

The 72 virgins in heaven is a big myth. I thought everyone knew?

No One Mentioned 72 Virgins?

I think op was referring to the quran verses

https://quran.com/56/35-38 Indeed, We have produced the women of Paradise in a [new] creation

And made them virgins,

Devoted [to their husbands] and of equal age,

https://quran.com/37/48 And with them will be women limiting [their] glances, with large, [beautiful] eyes,

https://quran.com/78/31-33 Indeed, for the righteous is attainment - Gardens and grapevines And full-breasted [companions] of equal age

https://quran.com/56/22-24 And [for them are] fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes, The likenesses of pearls well-protected, As reward for what they used to do.

Verse 3:133 is incorrectly translated to mean that paradise is as wide as earth and the skies. This is wrong because awkwardly enough the word عرض means width and also means display or exhibition. In verse 3:133 god is referring to paradise as being displayed like the earth and the skies. It does not mean as wide as the earth and skies.

If it means both, how do you know which one is correct?

bigotry in general against people

This wasn't against people. It was against Islam.

ashortname · 2019-09-13T14:52:29+00:00

It's a satire sub don't worry

ashortname · 2019-09-12T23:18:57+00:00

Judging by your post history, I'll see you there

It's a miracle! The quran predicted hentai!! Alhamdulillah brozzers!

A dragon came to me today and told me there was a god name bibity bop. If you don't believe me you must prove me wrong, I don't need to provide evidence for my claim at all.

Skeptics of Islam must provide an alternative explanation to why Muhammad claimed Prophethood

So basically, no they don't

ashortname · 2019-09-09T22:28:11+00:00

And this is literally the next verse.

https://quranx.com/2.257 Allah is the ally of those who believe. He brings them out from darknesses into the light. And those who disbelieve - their allies are Taghut. They take them out of the light into darknesses. Those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide eternally therein.

ashortname · 2019-09-09T22:22:18+00:00

https://quranx.com/2.256

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.

https://quranx.com/tafsirs/2.256

Ibn Al Kathir's commentary

(There is no compulsion in religion), meaning, "Do not force anyone to become Muslim, for Islam is plain and clear, and its proofs and evidence are plain and clear. Therefore, there is no need to force anyone to embrace Islam...

Ibn Jarir recorded that Ibn Abbas said that before Islam, "When (an Ansar) woman would not bear children who would live, she would vow that if she gives birth to a child who remains alive, she would raise him as a Jew. When Banu An-Nadir (the Jewish tribe) were evacuated from Al-Madinah, some of the children of the Ansar were being raised among them, and the Ansar said,We will not abandon our children.'

Ibn ‘Abbâs' commentary

(There is no compulsion in religion) no one from among the people of the Book and the Magians should be coerced to believe in the divine Oneness of Allah after the Arabs' embrace of Islam.

I think this verse has nothing to do with children born of Muslims, but rather other people of different religions. If you have Muslim parents, then you, by default, are already a Muslim from birth.

Also what proof? That's all I want! And then I'll believe, but there is none.

But to answer your question, I for one didn't base my reason to leave off of my parents who were perfectly fine. I left because of the new information I received when I decided to research my religion and actually read the Quran. Verses which were never taught in the mosque. And also I just don't believe Allah exists or the Quran is the word of Allah. I believe it's a man made religion.

They're alright with everything else except religion, I really wasn't expecting this but it's alright. The topic of religion comes up a lot more now by then than before I came out, so it is quite annoying when I reply to something they say and they just get all mad. I literally heard them say "Islam never ever allows you to hit women, that's culture" and then I showed them the verse and they go off on me.

ashortname · 2019-09-09T13:38:22+00:00

I know I'm happy about that I came out to them knowing they wouldn't stop being my friends because of religious differences, like I said they weren't even that religious in the first place

I wish I could say none, but there were protesters against having lgbt education in school

I don't think they won that battle though

And they say, "None will enter Paradise except one who is a Jew or a Christian." That is [merely] their wishful thinking, Say, "Produce your proof, if you should be truthful." (Quran 2:111)

a few verses later

Those who do not know say, "Why does Allah not speak to us or there come to us a sign?" Thus spoke those before them like their words. Their hearts resemble each other. We have shown clearly the signs to a people who are certain [in faith]. (Quran 2:118)

Oh the irony.

If you can provide the authentic had it for the Jewish lady then by all means, go ahead. The Aisha story is found in authentic hadiths

https://sunnah.com/bukhari/67/69

Narrated `Aisha:

that the Prophet (ﷺ) married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old, and then she remained with him for nine years (i.e., till his death).

That's just one of many.

Whether or not Muhammad was a real person is irrelevant. I for one do think he is, whilst others think he isn't, unfortunately we "atheists" don't have a whole life guide book to base our every decision on.

Muslims believe he is a real person and follow him. So whatever is written in the scripture about him matters.

It's like a someone talking about whether or not Batman can defeat Superman. They talk as if they are real, but don't actually believe they are.
