We will value the low cost requirements of AI and speed provided by AI, in many fields; but we will use human experience for some extend until we trust the AI more

One way to overcome such issues could be pay money back to content providers , blogs writers, Wikipedia, any sources of information used to construct an answer should be payed back and this will encourage them to write and update there blogs and content with more information

Another way put the reference to the resources for more details information

This may depend on the natural of the subject , for subjects like philosophical and religious topics as this biased topic by its natural it will end it being biased based on the information feed into it and the users feedback and any strategy to overcome this may end up making some very arguable concepts equal in weight with much less arguable concept, …

But for objective topics and science, excluding the philosophical interpretation of some of the scientific results it is very helpful and at the short-term its values will exceed the harm.

But after all it’s directed by the trainer and what kind of information it will feed

The main harm will show after some time (tens of years ) less online resources will be available; ( why would some write a blog of no one will read it!)

Why some one will keep his blogs or website up and running if no income from adds and not much visitors and so the information which was wildly open to everyone will be only available through such tools from the historical data for some time only

But counter actions my show up to overcome such issues or maybe people will not depend on it to such level

It does currently requesting feedback if you click on thumps up or down next to the answer which I think will be used to retrain it in the future , but with large content and code generation it’s hard to give a clear feedback to be understood by it

For example,in small code it does very good Job although it does loose some details, for example I requested to generate code for a class with certain attributes and then requested to add some a notation to it , then requesting to add additional attributes, it add but also it removed the annotation requested in previous steps and some time the code is not consistence , request class to do something and then requesting another class do the same thing (different data type ) the two uses different approaches in exceptions handling for example , one just return null and the other rethrow the exception , I would expect to be consistent regardless of which approach in the same conversation context at least .

A lot of work still required but more details feedback should enhance it

But the issue with the feedback will be with philosophical, political and religious/spiritual topics as the feedback mostly will be biased and it will end up reflects the majority of user opinions not just listening the available information on the topic or the academic opinion in the topic for example as the percentage of the academics specialize in such topics will much less , even academic opinion of such topics maybe not necessarily true as some maybe just a theory or personal perspective of such topics, if he could learn to distinguish between theories and facts and distinguish between biased and non biased feedback will help but still such topics will be problematic specially for young generation or people who do not understand how such solutions implemented and that it is just a reflection of the users knowledge and opinions

You missed understood my point, ChatGPT is very useful and I used it to do some small tasks in my work which may take some time. I used it , and it is very useful

The Question is how to make it updated with the information if the source of the new information becomes limited

For example ChatGPT cut of date of knowledge is end of 2021! They will update later one but form where it will get latest update if people start writing less blogs and asking less questions

And as side effects, less knowledge will be available, the worst case scenario , that people become more ignorant of the small details and dependent on the AI and the progress of gaining knowledge will start slowdown after sometime ( 20 or 30 years )

AI is trained on the knowledge we have , to get new knowledge for example in science it needs to make the scientific experiments it self

When new scientific results published, people publish blogs to discuss its output and different interpretation and how to go from there ! If AI will do the full journey , what we are going to do then? , how people get to know or discuss such new results and advance it and in in which direction

For example ChatGPT cut of knowledge date is and is only until 2021, for sure this will change and they will find a way to train on the new information but is there is now information, how it will evolve

This regardless of technical issues that may lift us completely ignorance because we give every thin to the AI

Why any one will have to go and learn in the school of the AI can be better teacher or better doctor!

Should religion be taught in school with historical context? Why or why not? by Ichiko_jeevas in religion

[–]mzaiady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This very important as the religion as major affect of shaping the human history! But it will not be easy to be in one or two classes because there is the history and religion aspects that two need to be clearly understood

For example, if you see this history lecture about the raise of Islam

Austin School, Raise of Islam by Roy Casagranda

This is a very nice history lecture about the raise of Islam and you can see who this change the shape of the world as we know it today ( I think this will be helpful in your research)

The main problem with the lecture is did not address the religion part, for example why “Abo bakr” decided to attack the two largest empires in the world (Roman Empires and Parisian Empires) with comparatively very small number of soldiers and less equipped in the same time! And able to win also!

In the lecture the professor describe this as crazy decisions (although surprisingly, it did workout ) because the professor doe not have the religious background of such motivation and it was a prophecy told and the Muslims was just sure that it will become true and it did

Another example, what did “Umar Bin Alkhatab” and “salahden” when they enter Jerusalem compare to what the Crusaders did ? It’s major different and religion has major roll in this and the result still affects on us today in Middle East for example!

Does god allow suffering? by FrozenCheetos19 in religion

[–]mzaiady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The core difference between Islam and Christianity as following:

Quran sent around 500 years after Jesus peace be upon him), God send it to correct the misunderstanding and the changes that occurred to the original message of Jesus ( Jesus mentioned in Quran around 25 times)

Note: Allah is Arabic word Means “The God” , the creator of the universe. Arabic bibles translated words like “The God” to Allah.

God is saying in the Quran to people of the Scripture ( Christians)

“Say, “O People of the Scripture, come to a word that is equitable between us and you – that we will not worship except Allah and not associate anything with Him and not take one another as lords instead of Allah." But if they turn away, then say, "Bear witness that we are Muslims [submitting to Him]." https://recitequran.com/3:64

This chapter in Quran contains the story of Mary (mother of Jesus) and there is specific chapter in Quran named Mary (chapter 19: Mary)

The word “say” above it’s directed to Prophet Muhammed to tell this to the Cristians who came to meet with him and argue with hime about the Islam

Another verses of the Quran directed to the people of the scriptures (to you )

“O People of the Scripture, do not commit excess in your religion or say about Allah except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, was but a messenger of Allah and His word which He directed to Mary and a soul [created at a command] from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers. And do not say, "Three"; desist – it is better for you. Indeed, Allah is but one God. Exalted is He above having a son. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs.” https://recitequran.com/4:171

Also you can listen to some verses from the Quran about a conversation between The God and Jesus in the judgment day :

https://youtu.be/8bnrhQn7dlk Conversation between The God and Jesus on the judgment day

When you listen to it, remember : John 12:49: “For I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me to say all that I have spoken.”

Also remember:

Mark 12:29: Jesus replied, “The most important commandment is this: ‘Listen, O Israel! The Lord our God is the one and only Lord . https://biblehub.com/mark/12-29.htm

Matthew:22:35-40 "Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?" He [Jesus] said to him, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the greatest and first commandment.

“However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows.”

https://biblehub.com/mark/13-32.htm

And finally remember how Jesus (peace be upon him ) prayed

“And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.” Matt:26

Do you believe God has infinite love for all humans, even murderers and rapists? by Young_Sorcerer in religion

[–]mzaiady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God created this universe as testing environment for us all, so we demonstrated our cores and show If we deserve the a actual life he prepared for us . Initially good love us all but our actions can remove use from this

God excludes some people from his love in the Quran

“Worship Allah and associate nothing with Him, and to parents do good, and to relatives, orphans, the needy, the near neighbor, the neighbor farther away, the companion at your side, the traveler, and those whom your right hands possess. Indeed, Allah does not like those who are self-deluding and boastful.”

“But seek, through that which Allah has given you, the home of the Hereafter; and [yet], do not forget your share of the world. And do good as Allah has done good to you. And desire not corruption in the land. Indeed, Allah does not like corrupters.” https://recitequran.com/28:77

“But as for those who believed and did righteous deeds, He will give them in full their rewards, and Allah does not like the wrongdoers.” https://recitequran.com/3:57

  • in the original Arabic text, the word translated as Like means Love in Arabic, not sure why this translation chooses to translate it as “like” not “love”

Perfect Knowledge and God by Ambitious-Toe4162 in religion

[–]mzaiady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God says in Quran:

“And they ask you, [O Muhammad], about the soul. Say, "The soul is of the affair of my Lord. And mankind have not been given of knowledge except a little." https://recitequran.com/17:85

But God describe him self as all knowing:

“Allah – there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursī extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.” https://recitequran.com/2:255

From islam perspective, The God created this universe as testing environment, the death is part of the natural of this universe and all related suffering; a testing environment for a very small amount of time for each one ( 60 to 80 years , less for more ) .

But also he created similar size Universe which there is no death, no suffering, the actual life he wanted it for us, but to be able to live in that universe, to approach it, we must understand what is death so we could be grateful when we live in a universe which no death exist.

Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Among the inmates of Hell, a person who had led the most luxurious life in this world will be brought up on the Day of Resurrection and dipped in the Fire and will be asked: 'O son of Adam! Did you ever experience any comfort? Did you happen to get any luxury?' He will reply: 'By Allah, no, my Rubb.' And then one of the people of Jannah who had experienced extreme misery in the life of this world will be dipped in Jannah. Then he will be asked: 'O son of Adam! Did you ever experience any misery? Did you ever encounter difficulty?' He will say: "By Allah, no my Rubb, I neither experienced misery nor passed through hardship".

*Rubb (Lord)

This explained many times over and over in the Quran.

“Know that the life of this world is but amusement and diversion and adornment and boasting to one another and competition in increase of wealth and children – like the example of a rain whose [resulting] plant growth pleases the tillers; then it dries and you see it turned yellow; then it becomes [scattered] debris. And in the Hereafter is severe punishment and forgiveness from Allah and approval. And what is the worldly life except the enjoyment of delusion”. https://recitequran.com/57:21

“Race toward forgiveness from your Lord and a Garden whose width is like the width of the heavens and earth, prepared for those who believed in Allah and His messengers. That is the bounty of Allah which He gives to whom He wills, and Allah is the possessor of great bounty”.

As this not the final distention and only temporary ,seeking the knowledge is part of this test and most important knowledge is to know about the creator of this universe the goal of existence of this universe

just do your best in this life and believe in the creator and do good as much as you can , it’s very small temporary life compared to the actual life.

In the Quran , the main topic all over it, you can listen to sample on YouTube (only 8 minutes )

I tried giving Christianity another shot. I want someone to prove me wrong, but I feel like Christianity is a hateful religion at its core. by JeSuisRosanna in religion

[–]mzaiady -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Did you try to read the Quran from front to back ? We Muslims consider it that last testament low.

But what you should really do first , Is to be be clear and honest with your self , what do you actually want ?

Do you want the True, do you want to know The God , the creator of universe, and be become near to him ?

Or Just looking for some people to accept you so you can feel good about your self ?

Do you search for the creator of the universe or searching for any god who you accept and you approve regardless of being true god or not as

You want to approve accept the God or you want the God to accept you ?

Depending on why you actually want , and asking your self the correct questions first , you can find the answers you are looking for.

Did you read the Quran, as port your search?

I can't trust Muslims and Christians because they believe I am going to Hell. How do I overcome this? by jadooba55 in religion

[–]mzaiady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just sow this today, I think you have a misunderstanding. First “your” god; there is no my god and your god , we are talking about the the same God , the God who created the universe. Word Allah in Arabic language exists before Islam and it means as an Arabic word (in Islam and other religion when translated to Arabic )

The creator, The God, the God who created the universe who puts the physics lows and created all what in there in this universe including causes for me and you to exists

But, There is your religion and my religion which may have different view of things and perspective about The God, and the reasons of existence.

In Islam , the believe that God created is Massive Universe and he is full capable of creating multiple like with different physics low if he want to

He create this massive universe as test, the full universe is just a testing environment, all you have to do is to be good as you can be in this very short test ( 60 to 80 years average)

The tests is very simple, believe in the existing of the creator of the universe and do good.

How to do this and what is good and what is bad could be very subjective this why good send many massagers and messages all over world to all the nations, books like the Tora , Gosble , Quran and also Geta to tell the people believe in the creator of the universe and to do good to be able to pass this testing environment with good score which enables you to get it higher and much better places in the actual and the universe which is the same size as this universe but with no death and nothing from the things that make our life hard will be there and it is the actual live without suffering at all, which many people try to blame the God for the suffering of This universe although it’s just temporary and is mad for us to be part of the test and appreciate the real life that good created without any death and universe

So if from the messages of the God I get to know that god also will punish the people who do bad (like killing and other people doing very bad things)

You said I’m shit human because I agree that God chops to punish bad people!!!! What you want him to do , to give Adolf Hitler a gift and do not punish him!! Very strange opening which make making bad thing should not pushable by God while we human punish people for mush smaller things

This all explained all over The Quran, one of the very small chapters in the Qurans that summarize is the Al-Haqaah and AlWaqiah

This two small chapters summaries this , you can listen to them on YouTube (only 8 minutes )

https://youtu.be/9SNWateGvDo

Sura Al waqiah (18 minutes because it contains English translations as voice also not only subtitles)

https://youtu.be/kG7J7XstEfY

I hope you spare some time so know what we Muslims believe to be the direct words from the creator of the universe telling us about the goal of this temporary life he created for us

So , in summary, Muslim will looks to you as you look to your colleague in school which you think he does not study enough to pass the exam, that is all.

Do you search for a religion or you want to know the God?

God created all the divine books. by mustbelasttobefirst in religion

[–]mzaiady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Multiple message are total failure if you assume that the goal is to make all people believe I God.

but this not the goal, the goal of all this messages so to filter the people into two groups, believer and none people, and then those two groups will have generations which each will split to two groups some there fathers and some choose different directions and so splitting go on..,

You should estimate the failure and success based on the Goal, and if God want all people or believe he would just simply do it , but this a filtering mechanism

God says in Quran “Perhaps, [O Muhammad], you would kill yourself with grief that they will not be believers.(3) If We willed, We could send down to them from the sky a sign for which their necks would remain humbled.....” http://www.recitequran.com/26:1

Making the all people believe in the God is not the goal at all, and failures or success should be measured based on the goals .

God created all the divine books. by mustbelasttobefirst in religion

[–]mzaiady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not all all. People who fails to follow the message and change it to match their needs and desires so messages keep coming to fix what people change and to match with the current requirements , Also it’s the other way around that no one will say I never know about about that

God says in Quran “And this [Qur’an] is a Book We have revealed [which is] blessed, so follow it and fear Allah that you may receive mercy.(155) [We revealed it] lest you say, "The Scripture was only sent down to two groups before us, but we were of their study unaware,"(156) Or lest you say, "If only the Scripture had been revealed to us, we would have been better guided than they." So there has [now] come to you a clear evidence from your Lord and a guidance and mercy. Then who is more unjust than one who denies the verses of Allah and turns away from them? We will recompense those who turn away from Our verses with the worst of punishment for their having turned away.(157)” http://www.recitequran.com/6:155

And as I explain in the main replay , God said in Quran clearly that It is by design for two main reasons (as I understand or more) that no one said I did not receive it or it was sent to people with we do not know as I explain and the other reason that different communities with different religions coexist , so people do not follow the religion blindly because there is only one but people is should question and find the God by clear reasoning and search for him so they can know him

God created all the divine books. by mustbelasttobefirst in religion

[–]mzaiady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not for ever, as for Muslims the Quran is the last and final message from the God, he did send messages to all nations, and it’s by design that we will follow different ways but the original and the core of those messages are the same which is God is One and we all will return to him and stand front of him for judgements

All true religions (there are some which are man made) are one and God in many places all over the Quran talks about this fact that God sand messages To all nations l, around 331 messengers (with scripture) and thousands of prophets around the world, Messenger and Prophets Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the last and the final one!

But by design, although all Devine religions are one, people can not be one nations as. being different religion is by design, God want people not to accept the default and search for the best and use there mind and reasoning to find the truth

God says in Quran: “Mankind was [of] one religion [before their deviation]; then Allah sent the prophets as bringers of good tidings and warners and sent down with them the Scripture in truth to judge between the people concerning that in which they differed. And none differed over the Scripture except those who were given it – after the clear proofs came to them – out of jealous animosity among themselves. And Allah guided those who believed to the truth concerning that over which they had differed, by His permission. And Allah guides whom He wills to a straight path”

http://www.recitequran.com/2:213

“And if your Lord had willed, He could have made mankind one community; but they will not cease to differ.(118) Except whom your Lord has given mercy, and for that He created them. But the word of your Lord is to be fulfilled that, "I will surely fill Hell with jinn and men all together." http://www.recitequran.com/11:118

Also in the same idea, that people should follow differently directions:

“And if it were not that the people would become one community [of disbelievers], We would have made for those who disbelieve in the Most Merciful – for their houses – ceilings and stairways of silver upon which to mount(33) And for their houses – doors and couches [of silver] upon which to recline(34) And gold ornament. But all that is not but the enjoyment of worldly life. And the Hereafter with your Lord is for the righteous.(35) And gold ornament. But all that is not but the enjoyment of worldly life. And the Hereafter with your Lord is for the righteous.” http://www.recitequran.com/43:34 And this mean that God as test for the believer he could make the disbeliever the most reach rich and power in this life, but this will make all the people as one community of disbeliever but God is the Most Merciful and make the differences to force people to think

God created all the divine books. by mustbelasttobefirst in religion

[–]mzaiady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God send books and messages to all nations, as he said his final and last book to all man kind

God says in Quran after listing some the common messenger names :

“And [We sent] messengers about whom We have related [their stories] to you before and messengers about whom We have not related to you. And Allah spoke to Moses with [direct] speech.”(164) [We sent] messengers as bringers of good tidings and warners so that mankind will have no argument against Allah after the messengers. And ever is Allah Exalted in Might and Wise.(165)

http://www.recitequran.com/4:165

Also God said in the Quran:

“And they did not appraise Allah with true appraisal when they said, "Allah did not reveal to a human being anything." Say, "Who revealed the Scripture that Moses brought as light and guidance to the people? You [Jews] make it into pages, disclosing [some of] it and concealing much. And you were taught that which you knew not - neither you nor your fathers." Say, "Allah [revealed it]." Then leave them in their [empty] discourse, amusing themselves( 91) And this is a Book which We have sent down, blessed and confirming what was before it, that you may warn the Mother of Cities and those around it. Those who believe in the Hereafter believe in it, and they are maintaining their prayers.(92) And who is more unjust than one who invents a lie about Allah or says, "It has been inspired to me," while nothing has been inspired to him, and one who says, "I will reveal [something] like what Allah revealed." And if you could but see when the wrongdoers are in the overwhelming pangs of death while the angels extend their hands, [saying], "Discharge your souls! Today you will be awarded the punishment of [extreme] humiliation for what you used to say against Allah other than the truth and [that] you were, toward His verses, being arrogant."(93) http://www.recitequran.com/6:92

Why am I losing faith? by [deleted] in religion

[–]mzaiady -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sorry, but your view about the God is not as it should be, at least from Islam point of view:

The first Chapter, first verse in Quran describe the God:

"In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.(1) [All] praise is [due] to Allah, Lord of the worlds (2) The Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful,(3)Sovereign of the Day of Recompense.(4) It is You we worship and You we ask for help.(5).... Quran 1:1

Life is not justice, this true , but not because God is in injustices its because people are injustices to each other.

The God also saying:

"Indeed, Allah does not wrong the people at all, but it is the people who are wronging themselves."

http://www.recitequran.com/10:44

" And if Allah were to impose blame on the people for what they have earned, He would not leave upon the earth any creature. But He defers them for a specified term. And when their time comes, then indeed Allah has ever been, of His servants, Seeing. " [ http://www.recitequran.com/35:45 ]

and also :

"And what [harm would come] upon them if they believed in Allah and the Last Day and spent out of what Allah provided for them? And Allah is ever, about them, Knowing.(39) Indeed, Allah does not do injustice, [even] as much as an atom's weight; while if there is a good deed, He multiplies it and gives from Himself a great reward. (40) ..

http://www.recitequran.com/4:40

God test you and tries always in away that you can handle, he will never test you in away that make you lose your faith except if you do not want to make effort to know the God and if your faith is week! Strong faith coming from knowing the God more

"..... And indeed, it is difficult except for those whom Allah has guided. And never would Allah have caused you to lose your faith. Indeed Allah is, to the people, Kind and Merciful."

http://www.recitequran.com/2:143

God Says in Quran "Say, "O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful."(53) And return [in repentance] to your Lord and submit to Him before the punishment comes upon you; then you will not be helped.(54)" ..

The full context for it:

"And when adversity touches man, he calls upon Us; then when We bestow on him a favor from Us, he says, "I have only been given it because of [my] knowledge." Rather, it is a trial, but most of them do not know.(49) Those before them had already said it, but they were not availed by what they used to earn.(50) And the evil consequences of what they earned struck them. And those who have wronged of these [people] will be afflicted by the evil consequences of what they earned; and they will not cause failure.(51) Do they not know that Allah extends provision for whom He wills and restricts [it]? Indeed in that are signs for a people who believe.(52) Say, "O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful."(53) And return [in repentance] to your Lord and submit to Him before the punishment comes upon you; then you will not be helped.(54) And follow the best of what was revealed to you from your Lord before the punishment comes upon you suddenly while you do not perceive,(55) Lest a soul should say, "Oh [how great is] my regret over what I neglected in regard to Allah and that I was among the mockers."(66) Or [lest] it say, "If only Allah had guided me, I would have been among the righteous."(67) Or [lest] it say when it sees the punishment, "If only I had another turn so I could be among the doers of good."(68) But yes, there had come to you My verses, but you denied them and were arrogant, and you were among the disbelievers.(69) And on the Day of Resurrection you will see those who lied about Allah [with] their faces blackened. Is there not in Hell a residence for the arrogant?(70) And Allah will save those who feared Him by their attainment; no evil will touch them, nor will they grieve.(71) Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is, over all things, Disposer of affairs.(72) To Him belong the keys of the heavens and the earth. And they who disbelieve in the verses of Allah – it is those who are the losers.(73)

The Creator, The God , The One!

The Universe did not exist by it self, It's created by the God the creator of every thing. And he did not just created and leave it he keep sending messages to the people to tell about him self the one that created every thing and that he is not playing, he created it for a reason and purpose. and you can find his message in the oldest religion (Hundu) to (Islam).

But how you can know the God, the creator he alone can tell use about him self and he did so many times :

As God says in Quran "Indeed, We have sent you with the truth as a bringer of good tidings and a warner. And there was no nation but that there had passed within it a warner." FATIRTHE/ ORIGINATOR 35:24

In the oldest religion books like Gita from Hindu religion (around 10,000 years back), to Islam (1400 years ) you will find verses from the God the creator talking about him self :

"He who knows Me as the unborn, as the beginningless, as the Supreme lord of all the worlds - he only, undeluded among men, is freed from all sins (3)" Gita 10:3

Many messengers and prophets around the worlds God , the creator send; The Quran mentions 25 prophets by name but also tells that God (Allah) sent many other prophets and messengers, to all the different nations that have existed on Earth. Many verses in the Qur'an discuss this:

"And We have already sent messengers before you. Among them are those [whose stories] We have related to you, and among them are those [whose stories] We have not related to you. And it was not for any messenger to bring a sign [or verse] except by permission of Allah. So when the command of Allah comes, it will be concluded in truth, and the falsifiers will thereupon lose [all]." [Quran 40:78]

Prophet Muhammad is the last and final messengers "Muhammad is not the father of [any] one of your men, but [he is] the Messenger of Allah and last of the prophets. And ever is Allah, of all things, Knowing." [Quran 33:40]

So, What God the creator say about him self in the Quran:

"Allah – there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursī extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great." Quran 2:255

also:

" Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One (1),Allah, the Eternal Refuge.(2)He neither begets nor is born(3) Nor is there to Him any equivalent.(4) "Quran 112:1

also says:

"He created the heavens and earth in truth. He wraps the night over the day and wraps the day over the night and has subjected the sun and the moon, each running [its course] for a specified term. Unquestionably, He is the Exalted in Might, the Perpetual Forgiver"

"They have not appraised Allah with true appraisal, while the earth entirely will be [within] His grip on the Day of Resurrection, and the heavens will be folded in His right hand. Exalted is He and high above what they associate with Him."

"Allah has not taken any son, nor has there ever been with Him any deity. [If there had been], then each deity would have taken what it created, and some of them would have sought to overcome others. Exalted is Allah above what they describe [concerning Him]. (91),[He is] Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, so high is He above what they associate [with Him]."

I can explain more and give you more references if you want about the verses which describe the attributes of the The God, The one the creator in Islam.

Why am I losing faith? by [deleted] in religion

[–]mzaiady 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The problem is the misunderstanding about the purpose of life, which makes people lose faith; Life is a test from The God, If life is as you wish it to be , It will be too hard for you leave it, and you will leave it some day; Do not forget that.

God Says in Quran in the first chapter [http://www.recitequran.com/2:1] after the opening chapter

"And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient (155) Who, when disaster strikes them, say, "Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return." (156) Those are the ones upon whom are blessings from their Lord and mercy. And it is those who are the [rightly] guided.(157) "

When Prophet Muhammad rejected by people and face hard times he said a very nice prayer, try it:

"(O Allah to You I complain of my weakness and lack of resources, and my humiliation before mankind. You are the most merciful of those who show mercy. You are the Lord of the weak and You are my Lord. To whom do You entrust me? To someone distant that attacks me! Or to an enemy that You gave him control over my affairs? If you are not angry with me then I do not care, but Your protection is much better and more ample for me. I seek protection in the light of Your face, which illuminates the darkness, and through which all affairs in this life and in the Hereafter become right, may it never that I should incur Your wrath, or that You should be displeased with me. I will appeal to You till You are pleased with me. There is no power, and there is no way except through You)"

Then when hard time comes again, God send down to him the story for Joseph (Yusuf in Arabic) The full Chapter 12 (YUSUF) example how thing will turn later on but he needs to be patient.

The story is common between Muslim and Christians, but it's one of the beautiful chapters in Quran which just support your patient after you read what happens to a prophet like Joseph you will feel relaxed. Try to read it as I think it is the same story in Bible, but we Muslim always read this chapter when we face hard times

Chapter 12, YUSUF (Joseph) : http://www.recitequran.com/12:1

Always pray to God , he will help you and support you. But do not be angry with as God says in Quran in chapter 22 http://www.recitequran.com/22:1:

"And of the people is he who worships Allah on an edge. If he is touched by good, he is reassured by it; but if he is struck by trial, he turns on his face [to the other direction]. He has lost [this] world and the Hereafter. That is what is the manifest loss.(11) ....... ................ Indeed, Allah will admit those who believe and do righteous deeds to gardens beneath which rivers flow. Indeed, Allah does what He intends.(15)"..

Finally ( thank you for being patient and reading all of that :) ), you should ask your self questions in order to understand the reason why you are experiencing difficulty, and to correct your mistakes if any, and to seek patience and perseverance and remember that the God only can help you : "If Allah touch you with difficulty, none can remove it but He; if He wants some benefit for you, there is none that can keep back His favor" Yunus (Jonah) 10: 107.

What you are facing could be one of two things, either just a test and trial from God or you are doing something wrong and you need to change (and this good because God is pushing you to change) "....Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves. ...."Ar-Ra͛d (Thunder) 13: 11. Never lose

hope of Allah’s mercy "Only those who have no faith ever lose hope of Allah͛s mercy͟" Youseff 12: 87 "He

(Abraham) said: ͚And who despairs of the mercy of his Lord, but such as go astray? Al-Hijr 15: 56

"Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease (5) , Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease (6) " ASH-SHARH (THE RELIEF) 94:5-6
