Peace dear friends here! Thank you to every single one of you, that you all took the time and effort to respond! you have helped me very much, and REMINDED me, why i love God and free minds to begin with...cause it's all about God in the Koran, and not shia, sunni, hadeethist.....oh my gosh! it was like a light bulb turning on after i read all of your answers! of course! most of these poor people are shackled by hadeeth and "tradition" and know little of God, except their group's requirements/rituals/formalities. !!!!!!!
Dear hanifa47
Your welcome )
Keep your head up.
Peace and Respect,

Peace hanifa47, all
When humanity don't follow monotheism they will be separated. They will not have strong bond that can unite them. They will separate into different groups and an invented reality will emerge. Nations, flags, different lifestyles, traditions, ideologies and other man-made systems will appear. They will say that "this is my country and that is your country". But in reality there is only one God (the creator), one country (planet earth) and one race (humanity). In reality all human beings are brothers and sisters. But in the invented reality we see all around us, humanity is separated by ethnicities, ideologies and lifestyles. The concept of polytheism is more comprehensive than conventional religious ideas and theories claim it is. A polytheist is not just someone who just prays to stone idols. Many people create illusions in their mind and convince themselves that they are separated from the rest of mankind and nature, and they don't accept responsibility for their actions in this life. Science confirms that there is unity in the universe and in our planet. Everything is interconnected. Ergo monotheism can be logically explained. Polytheism however, is an illusion of the mind. It only exists in the minds of people, not in reality. If the whole humanity where united through monotheism there would be no wars, no poverty and no exploitation. If the whole humanity was united through monotheism there would be peace all over the world. If the whole humanity cooperated with eachother human beings would be able to create a paradise on earth and explore the Universe more than ever before.

I See it like this. We all have free will. This sets a lot of chaos into motion as billions of people are partaking in their right to free will. To save one group takes away another groups freedom to make their own choices. Simply put, bad things happen between people because the world is full of bad our short sighted people.

I guess I have always had a hunger for knowledge. I like to learn new things and new skills very often. I have learned a lot from many people in this forum. There are many people in this forum that or more knowledgable than me on different topics. The more knowledge I get, the more I realize how little I know about life. What I believe today, might be discarded tomorrow. My advice to you is the following Seek knowledge. You should develop a hunger for knowledge. And learn as much as you can about Islam. If you start to get knowledge in an early age, you will have lots of knowledge when you are in your twenties. And perhaps you already have lots of knowledge. Because you seem like a smart person and you seem to have spiritual awareness.

what about China? it has one of the largest Muslim populations of the world and the deputy premier (3rd most powerful man) is an Hui (Muslim)
its simply that the state is like Turkey a secular one and people can't have open religious affiliations; and coming from a Chinese Islam is far from persecuted in China -

1276
1276 So he began with their bags before the bag of his brother. Then he brought it out of the bag of his brother. It was such that We planned for Yousuf, for he would not have been able to take his brother under the system of the king, except that Allah wished it so. We raise the degrees of whom We please, over every knowledgeable person is one more knowing..
You are also in the list, inshaAllah.

ALLAH is independent of all those who claim to believe in him.
Belief is a state, not a label. People are led to believe that as long as they say they follow this thing called "Islam" with a capital I, that they're going to enter heaven.
These are the same people that believe that if you say certain things 33 or 32 times (depending on the hadith) that you'll get a free ticket to paradise. Ah, if only it were that easy.
Your faith will wax and wane but remember this - the fact that YOU exist and that you are inseparable from this thing called "ALLAH" means that ALLAH exists, whether in our imaginations or in reality.
In THE objective reality, there is ALLAH and he is lord of all things. In your imagination, for all we know, ALLAH could be some guy with a really long beard that says he'll strike you with his vengeful wrath. Don't trust your imagination all the time, trust the signs of the objective reality to guide you. If you are meant to believe then you will believe through hell or high water, even if you hang onto your belief by a thread of consciousness.
