Introduce Yourself

I was raised very non-religious so I voted atheism/agnosticism. )

All Praise be to Allah, the Ruler of the Universe for bringing so many to Truth! SoldierGirl, welcome to the site............and the straight way, Inshallah! As a former Marine, former Christian, former everything.........................I wish you all the best and hope that this way comes easy to you!

Evil can be overruled by good. As God is evil, we can kill him..if he exists of course. "As God is evil, we can kill him..if he exists of course" make a thread, it'll might be interesting. "Evil can be overruled by good", MUNZIR ALI focus about sustaining living. Productions of Goods. That's why people called human necessities as "Goods". As in Food, Water, Clothing, Shelter. Productions of Goods. "When people lose everything, the lose their mind". True Good Overruled Evil. As in Material Goods. Material can Invite people to Good or Evil. Material Goods invites Good. Poverty invites Evil. The way you defeat Evil is with Material Goods.

nice and good for you. i'll study your method and find the right time to apply. i'm currently doing this (shifting from sunni to muslim) alone. my wife still sunni and not into truth seeking. did talked to her.. and she just said that before you complete learning don't simply applying. (something like a half-baked knowledge that may not be true thus dont jump in) but i believe that this journey of mine will be long.. so i can't wait. don't know when it will end. i'm at first feel bad about this (leaving my wife with her believe) but now calm a bit since i learnt that we're responsible to ourselves it's Allah who guides **please correct me where i made mistake. TQ

Peace In most "muslim" countries those who do not follow "Muslim" traditions and adhere to religious dogma are sidelined, harassed and even persecuted. Overnight they become infidels and apostates. What is the situation in Pakistan for Tolu Islam and similar groups who follow only the Quran ? Are they targeted, can they profess their beliefs openly ?

My family is non-denominational Christian. They don't know I'm a Muslim (they live in Georgia/Florida and I live in Texas). I haven't broken the news to them yet -- I think I need a little more time to show them that, if I've changed, it's for the better. Not really sure how to broach the subject with them, honestly. Non denominational christian in many ways are very close to the non-sectarians movement. I always advice any christian that I met to 'not converting' (read converting to sunniism or Muhammedanism). Instead I told them that Jesus himself is a moslem, which then I explain to them what is a moslem.. The evidence of Jesus was teaching islam are evident in the Gospel especially in his prayer as well... "Let Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven" As thus; be a muslim and do not convert (to any sect) To your family; I might recommend that you explain to them what is a 'muslim' and if the 'name' doesn't suit them, well change it to another name.. (what's in a name anyway??) Salam / Peace

I'm sorry, but I must ask you to tell me your story. I find these personal stories very fascinating. Have since I took an interest in other religions while I was still a Christian. Please tell us! Or at least me. ) Peace be unto you Salam, I just posted my story as you've requested. Hope you enjoy it. =-D Peace be upon you.

welcome I hope you enjoy your stay here

Salam Osman, It's very annoying when you go to mosques only to hear Imams praising Muhammad/Abu Bakr/Usman etc when it's supposed to be a house of God. Recently I attended a lecture about Islam from a Sunni scholar from Jordan. Most people listening were Sunnis with quite a few Non Muslims. Not one Quranic verse was mentioned, the whole lecture was based on upon stuff from Hadith. And the Q&A session that followed was even more annoying as some of the answers he gave were ridiculous brickwall I'm sure the non-muslims listening left the room thinking "what the hell was that" However it's great to see you coming to the truth. The number of Quran Alone muslims are increasing everyday and Inshallah we will have mosques of our own soon were we only praise God.

Dankjewel Ja zeker. Incha'Allah komt dat goed. Dat wordt moeilijk als iemand je niet serieus neemt en niet luistert naar wat je te melden hebt maarja moet er toch van komen. Ik ga mn best doen incha Allah shokran ; ) Salam

Welcome Hope you keep enjoying the journey Kukumber

Peace Maverick, I am glad to hear your story. Seeing that you went to seminary shows that you are very knowledgeable of the Jewish and Christian scriptures. Hopefully you can teach us a few things about them ) I believe that you are 100% correct that the movement is not restricted to "Islam" (the religion, not the Way of Life). Only then can we all work towards one community. Peace Peace amuslim, Seminary did help, but we also had to take a lot of classes that had nothing to do with scriptures. I found them to be a huge waste of time. But I'm sure I have much more to learn from all of you about the Quran than you have to learn about Jewish and Christian scriptures. ) Peace, Joel

Welcome to the forum. Feel free to utilise the resources/links at www.StudyQuran.org

Peace be upon you Syed.. and welcome to the forum.. I would like to add some (not so serious) remarks on your posting.. I got a bible .... I examined it . It contained mainly stories moral ones , some were nasty by today's standards . Oh have I mentioned that I am a conspiracy theorist . before discovering this site I was well aware of 9/11 conspiracies , illuminatist conspiracies and much more . I found the bible 'revealing', yes there are nasty and ridiculous stories within.. but nevertheless by reading the bible it really clear up some of my questions. For example Have you noticed that even within the Bible, there are no detailed instruction on how to do prayers? I concluded that the technicality of 'praying' is not important. Yet we found that many sectarian folks debating over it. And it does make sense, talking to God should be more intimate and personal than talking to our own parents! Does anyone ever asked on the 'detailed instruction' on how to talk to their parents? Especially on the 'gospel' part (Jesus chapter), again Jesus doesn't even bring up or make a fuss over 'rites'. Furthermore he criticized the priest of paying too much attention over rites (sabbath ruling, how to do sacrifice etc..) which actually doesn't matter yet abandoned the essence of the biblical teachings which are more important. 'Sabbath are for men not men for Sabbath' thus saith he.. During jesus era there are debate regarding the true location of "God's temple" whether it is in Jerusalem or Mount Girzim, yet he responded with 'it doesn't matter as both will be destroyed in a nearby future and God doesn't need any temple'. (note and here on this forum we have a debate whether it is Mekka or Jerusalem) A strong condemnation of bribery and corruption which I found 'missing' in the Quran. There are part where God condemned the Judges who take bribes. Regarding 'conspiracy', dude do not take everything that you hear are true... The jews are not that powerful.. to me conspiracy stories are much worse than the hadith... You see when I have a craving(prayer) for something GOD gives it to me when he sees fit ..all power if with him .I have this unusual craving for truth . Yup.. every prayer shall be answered.. "Seek and you shall find, ask and you shall received" another great quote from the Gospel.. What I see in some religions like those eastern ones is their intuitive wisdom which overlaps with many Scientific concepts . I now believe that God tries to uplift everyone from ignorance of his existence by many ways . Indian seers(self-proclaimed) try to find GOD and together with their imaginations create religious concepts . May I remind you that hinduism is monotheistic in nature but it is ancient and has chnaged over the millenia . Yes .. before they fell into 'god's avatar' worshiping (such as Krishna worshiping which in many ways bear similarity with Jesus worshiping by the christians or Muhammad worshiping by the muhammedans). God's name in Veda is Brahmam or Om in Upanishad. http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahman Should I go by what GOD's book says or what sect/religion I was born into ? You should go by what God said you to do.. If you ever feel confused.. then ask Him! "Ask and you shall received"... I also always protested the Islamic concept of 'music is haraam'. If Prophet David was given hymn . Why can't we use music .. ones of GOD's beautiful creations. LOL.. this show the 'double standard' on sunniism, they say music is 'haraam' while the adzan and the quran recitation itself is a music too! I want to live to see the glory of GOD ( when alive) and then die to go to my creator . There are countless signs of God's glory on your everyday life.. you just have to be sensitive enough to realize it.. And by the way.. your soul 'return' to God nearly everyday... when you're sleeping.. (3942) Salam / Peace / Shanti

Peace, SeekingYou ! Indeed! May Allah guide the believers on the right path. May peace be with you.

Is this a deja vu or have you posted this for the nth time Hahaha everything I say to you always comes across as a deja vu!

Hey welcome, The Dreamer Wow, i imagined that scene a lot, only that I am not closing my eyes, looking in the mirror instead, and the gun I'm holding has two markings--one at the right-hand side, written in reverse, mirrored "NOT YET". The other one at the left-hand side "maybe never". handshake Suicide is never good.

Salam and Peace! I can see why extremists are extremists. Because they follow all hearsay stories authenticated by scholars The Bukhari-followers are extremists, because they know that they can not defend their wrong belief. They are afraid of coming to Allah's Quran, because there is The Truth in there. And they love Al-Bukhari and the likes, because they find in there what their "dirty desires" want.

And if one understands that God is absolute, one also understands that there is only one will.

Welcome path of light May Allah guide us all PEACE ------- Student of Allah
