    So, you have accepted ALLAH (THE GOD) as a TRUE ilah (god) -- is that correct?

    I wouldn't want to put myself in the spot just yet, but saying that i do believe this relationship will/ does benefit all of mankind.

    yes

      Interestingly enough there are some Christian religions that believe the Roman Catholic Church is the anti-Christ, or at least serves him. Each pope has been accused of being the anti-Christ many times.

      what have they done to be looked at so badly?

      nope

          It all started off with the inclusion of the resurrection into the bible in about the 4th or 5th century and the belief in the trinity. But each pope has changed something within the Catholic church that has (as always) met with much opposition.

            Of course- life wouldn't have a meaning without it.

                Well yes, I agree with you, that is taking it a bit too far. I suppose their thought was that by worshiping Jesus, they were trying to take people away from God

                  peace

                  THE GOD is god? TRUE

                  4719 So, know that not god except THE GOD and ask forgiveness for your sin and for the believing men and believing women. And THE GOD knows of your movement and your resting place.

                  2125 And We sent not before you any messenger except that We revealed to him that not god except Me. Then worship Me.

                  2014 Indeed, I am THE GOD. Not god except Me, so worship Me and establish prayer for My remembrance.

                  1651 And THE GOD has said, "Do not take for yourselves two gods. Indeed He is one god. Then to Me, only Me, be in fear."

                  162 He sends down AlmalaA'ikat, with the inspiration of His command, upon whom He wills of His servants, "Warn that not god except Him; so fear Me."

                  619 Say, "What thing is greatest in testimony?" Say, " THE GOD is witness between me and you. And this Qur'an was revealed to me that I may warn you thereby and whomever it reaches. Do you testify that with Allah there are other gods?" Say, "I will not testify." Say, "Indeed, He is one God, and indeed, I am free of what you associate."

                  318 THE GOD witnesses not god except Him, and AlmalaA'ikat and those of knowledge, maintaining in justice. Not god except Him, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

                  2163 And your god is one god. not god except Him, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

                  According to the Quran (In all-English)

                  not god except THE GOD

                  peace

                    the SIMPLEST checking algorithm ever, in all-English

                    is x god?

                    is x THE GOD?

                    EXAMPLES OF THE CHECK god or not god. TRUE or FALSE?

                    Example #1 in all-English god, THE GOD

                    is THE GOD god?

                    is THE GOD THE GOD?

                    TRUE

                    TRUE

                    Example #2 in all-English
                    god, his desire

                    is his desire god?

                    is his desire THE GOD?

                    FALSE

                    FALSE

                    then why he take as his god, his desire?
                    yeah -- why take as god, something that is not even TRUE as god?

                    Example #3 in all-English
                    for x = not THE GOD
                    god, x

                    is x god?

                    is x THE GOD?

                    FALSE

                    FALSE

                    then why he take as god, what is not THE GOD?
                    yeah -- why take as god, something that is not even TRUE as god?

                      CONSEQUENCES

                      for "he/him" is not THE GOD, if you take him as god, then know that he is not a god (4719), whether he is taking you to goodness or badness

                      if you think he is inviting you to goodness, then know that everything is from THE GOD 478

                      if you think he is inviting you to badness, then know that everything is from THE GOD 478

                      THE GOD told you to choose the straight path 6151-153

                      if you think you are following the straight path while you are following THE GOD, then THE GOD will bring you to the straight path 4175

                      if you think you are following the straight path while you are following someone else than THE GOD, then wait until he contradicts THE GOD. 2122

                      When that contradiction occurs, whom will you choose?

                      peace

                        Finally,

                        if you don't believe in what the Qur'aAn says, then you just don't believe it yet.

                        if you don't believe that there is no god except THE GOD, then you just don't believe in it yet.

                        "not god except THE GOD"

                        peace

                          The phrase "One God and One God only" springs to mind

                            salam simple,

                            there are people who unknowingly consider themselves as equals to God - they prosecute & judge the others, since they are of the opinion that they have the absolute truth in their hands.

                            may God guide us all on the honorable path,
                            peace and blessings

                              Yes either they do it themselves or have other donkeys do the work for them. Obviously in this regard they are god for the donkeys.

                                  simple, as someone else said previously, you do talk in riddles laugh

                                  i wish i knew you in person, just so i don't get trapped in your riddles...

                                  Anyway, this is some verses which came to mind, especially in relation to the discussion in the thread you previously linked ("Could an Atheist be a believer.&quot ...

                                  747 And when their eyes are turned toward the companions of the Fire, they say, "Our Lord, do not place us with the wrongdoing people."

                                  748 And the companions of the AlA`raAf will call to men whom they recognize by their mark, saying, "Of no avail to you was your gathering and that you were arrogant."

                                  749 "Are these the ones whom you swore that Allah would never offer them mercy? Enter Paradise. No fear will there be concerning you, nor will you grieve."

                                  In relation to Joe Betik's thread ("having The God&quot it's sorta like the difference between believing in The God and having The God, i think.

                                  What d'you think, ma'am?

                                    Hi san,

                                    As i see it all; peace

                                    It's good to believe and even better to have the natural force that is evolving us all on our side or rather it is better for us to be on the side of this great natural force evolving mankind, Right?

                                    whether we call it God or Rama or whatever does it matter, not one bit-i think.

                                    So if someone says i don't believe in such a thing as rama or God , who cares , as long as they do believe in the natural force that has been evolving mankind or rather as long as they are on the side of the natural force evolving mankind with there actions and deeds.

                                    So an athiest could be a believer and yet denying God, simply because his/her actions/deeds are not in oppostion to but in line with the natural force that is evolving mankind (or Allah)-thus like having the God.

                                    Do you understand my view?

                                    Thanks and peace

                                      Hi simple (so is it right -- "ma'am" ? ;D)

                                      Hi san,

                                      As i see it all; peace

                                      It's good to believe and even better to have the natural force that is evolving us all on our side or rather it is better for us to be on the side of this great natural force evolving mankind, Right?

                                      whether we call it God or Rama or whatever does it matter, not one bit-i think.

                                      So if someone says i don't believe in such a thing as rama or God , who cares , as long as they do believe in the natural force that has been evolving mankind or rather as long as they are on the side of the natural force evolving mankind with there actions and deeds.

                                      So an athiest could be a believer and yet denying God, simply because his/her actions/deeds are not in oppostion to but in line with the natural force that is evolving mankind (or Allah)-thus like having the God.

                                      Do you understand my view?

                                      Thanks and peace

                                      The point is... well, i do not know.

                                      The name "The God" itself, is associated (as in "learning by association" -- i'm not talking about shirk at all guys, so hold yourselves back! ) with all the "best names" (Asma AlHusna) in the Qur'aan -- which i too, perhaps similar to you, think that we can only understand them in the view of The God's relationship with us. Believing in "The God" while neglecting all the "best names" would be kind of an empty belief--especially if one's own interpretation of "The God" is filled with his/her own thinking not in line with what is described in The Book (AlkitaAb). So, for any of us who had accepted the revealed Book's view of "The God", he/she must strive to build his/her understanding of "The God" in harmony with these "best names" (Asma AlHusna).

                                      I don't know if an atheist were able to fully grasp these "Asma AlHusna" without being informed with what the AlkitaAb informs to mankind. Then again "The God guides whomever He wills". So i am not to judge anyone by what i have no knowledge of.

                                      "Belief/believe/believer (Imaan/Amanuw/mu'min)" itself is a concept 'more than words' (4914-15) -- it is initiated with acceptance/acknowledgment/belief in certain fundamental concepts and then realized with actions through life.

                                      And re the "checking algorithm" -- "not god except The God", i think its best use is for our own personal thinking (as the ultimate reminder) -- to remind ourselves that nothing (of which we experience in this world) is god--but the only god is "The God" (in one's own language), as understood through the "best names" (Asma AlHusna) explained through "The Book" (AlkitaAb) and confirmed with our ongoing experience in this life (The God's Ayatiyn in our life compared to His Ayatiyn in The Book).

                                      I hope i have clarified my view on this matter.

                                      Thanks and Alhamdulillah for this discussion, and please forgive me if i caused any inconvenience -- may God guide us to always be open and true.

                                      peace

                                        I would say we do agree on this one important matter.
