    So if someone gets cancer is it because he is evil ? Are little children evil too ?

    What about all the evil people who are healthy ?

      ok , why he will gona take it away what belong to you,,,? its my lovely and lovely God not a human.. or thief lol

      actually he can take it away becoz he is fully controlleable on everything but why he will take it away ? it must b a good reason for taking something that is totally mine by default it will always mine thats why i said it my property ...

      My deeds are also my property, what's the difference?

      you need to understand love first brother , its not a material your statement is based on material hence not applied .. confused

      The "intrinsic" value of deeds are also not materialistics

      i think before making this statement you forget... this statement indirectly mean DOES GOD LEAD PEOPLE ASTRAY? by taking the love of God from human... lol

      Why would He take away my deeds, I earned them myself, is He unjust?

        Whatever befalls you of good is because you are good and whatever befalls you of evil is because you are evil.

        This is why I don't like you much...

        Allah says A and you say B
        Like are you blind? Do you not see your Lord's words clearly spelled out?

        Like seriously go sit down somewhere....

          Here we go typical Hansolo...
          This shows you don't know how to read and you paraphrase the Quran that is why you are misguided
          I keep trying to help you read but you are stubborn...

          The verses I cited are clearly not conveying this at all. This is a strawman on your behalf.
          Read the verse again, then realize how foolish your questions are.
          Ask yourself is that what Allah is saying?

          I only cite your Lord's verses
          If you are unable to understand the clarity and simplicity of these statements seek His Guidance

            It is an evil world we live in.

            Besides we all live through what we have experienced in the past, even if we are children only in this life.

            If you are evil you are not healthy even of your bodily indicates so.

              If you do something good this is going to give you good. If you are evil this is going to bring you evil.

              Your Allah cannot like you very well. Behavior is everything.

                  Well said Hawk99. Our abilities to do anything are all from Him. We own nothing it is all a trust given by Him.

                  Peace

                    angel

                    all is from Allah , but the strange thing about love you only do it with true heart if its real ?
                    in case of worldy love we are not sure other person claims are true or not
                    but with the case of God he knows what is in our chests...

                    so its confusing actually we are infact bringing two different things at same time
                    if All is from God there another question arise , if bad/evil come from God ? so who should held responsible for it, as we know all from God , did he lead people astray by giving some of them bad and some enjoying good..?

                    in my humble view the statement is all is from God , but the results of deeds will affect on us according to the nature of deed.. if eveil deed will done evil result will wait for us, if we decided/wish to put our hand in fire there is no chance we will not get burn , that a law based on truth... but its going out of topic

                    in my previous posts i do say that the nature of love is strange , and love regarding anything happen spontaneously so it should be something that God like it that his servant loves him... we can make sure that its a thing that will officialy our property...

                      My deeds are also my property, what's the difference?

                      deeds are for reward and punishment isnt it?
                      love is for what ?... specially when we claim our love to somebody do we really need anything in return ?

                      love and deeds
                      love and take care(with humans)

                      there is a difference between taking care and love same as deeds and love

                      The "intrinsic" value of deeds are also not materialistics

                      but it based on results and morals , self is responsible for actions
                      but with love it is not a action by free will , its simply grows suddenly/spontaneously

                      Why would He take away my deeds, I earned them myself, is He unjust?

                      yeh exactly thats why i was sayin you in previous post why he will gona take my love from me he is not unjust
                      or other way round,
                      if God take his love away from servant servant in return will lost in this world love and hate also are responisble for lot of doings what we normally do in our daily life ...
                      so these actions will end him/her in hell isnt fair by taking away somebody love and putting him in hell due to the change .. i dnt think God want anybody to suffer in hell...

                      one more thing i actually want to add why he will take away your deeds from you becoz you earned it...?
                      actually he make it happen that you earned it... on other ways if i want to earn a good deed by helping a poor , at first place he will make it happen for me to earn that money .. right then with that money i will b able to help what if he never gave me anything ...

                      or the money due to which that deed i completed is indirectly belong to him. as we know its in his control..

                        One example I want to remind you of is 478-79

                        Aynama takoonoo yudrikkumu almawtu walaw kuntum fee buroojin mushayyadatin wa-in tusibhum hasanatun yaqooloo hathihi min AAindi Allahi wa-in tusibhum sayyi-atun yaqooloo hathihi min AAindika qul kullun min AAindi Allahi famali haola-i alqawmi la yakadoona yafqahoona hadeethan

                        Ma asabaka min hasanatin famina Allahi wama asabaka min sayyi-atin famin nafsika waarsalnaka lilnnasi rasoolan wakafa biAllahi shaheedan

                        Wherever you be will overtake you death even if you are in towers lofty. And if befalls them any good they say, "This (is) from Allah," And if befalls them any evil they say, "This (is) from you." Say, "All (is) from Allah." So what (is wrong) (with) these people, they do not seem (to) understand any statement.

                        What(ever) befalls you of (the) good (is) from Allah, and whatever befalls you of (the) evil (is) from yourself. And for the people (as) a Messenger, and Allah is sufficient (as) a Witness.

                        peace brother ,

                        actually i dnt understand why you bring this topic actually there is a difference between love and good/bad

                        love of God may be good for someone
                        love of things other than god like idols may not be good for someone

                        so love play a role of good and bad at same time...
                        i think its two different topics...

                        rest of the things yeh i can agree.. there is a wisdom behind this verses...

                            love is unconditional if you try to understand what is the difference between deeds and love...

                            so the love i am doing with my God... is seperate from my deeds of punishment and rewards...

                            Your previous posts say your love is unconditional. No reward or punishment.

                              Imran. You are deluded, all comes from god. and god may take away the unconditional love you have by giving you a trial that may cause you to hate god.

                                hmm yes if i start hating God its mean i m deluded ...

                                but

                                what do you know about my trials , may b i already had some trials but , on every trial i feel my feelings are not affecting , but what i see there is a reason for every trial which give me good instead of harm.. even after trials love increase more...

                                the fake lovers may get fail in trials...

                                  Is it unconditional love ?

                                  if you read the full post , then i think you also know 11 or 12 years old kid cannot understand what is the difference between pray , love and deeds...

                                  that was the first ever experience of asking something from a higher being with true feelings.. that feelings recieve a signal of truth and blessings so the feelings turn in to uncontrolleable/spontaneous love ...

                                  how you will know somebody love you? in childhood , probably when they kiss you or give a present to you...

                                  does it mean a kid is greedy he only find love from whom he recieve present...?

                                  nobody need presents the actual thing is this present/gift/blessing make u feel/remeber that its a symbol/sign of love...

                                  so by default the greater thing for understanding is either gift is or love is what make a kid convince ...

                                    Your previous posts say your love is unconditional. No reward or punishment.

                                    if you read the full post you will also get to know , its from the perception of 12 years old mind ... and its just a sharing of one of my situation when i first experience something ...

                                    and all was not for getting the results or rewards... it was actually a trust .. this word always come along with love...

                                    when some body say do you trust me?
                                    ...

                                    that kid mind was trusting that higher being can make difficult thing happen easy if he wills to...

                                    example
                                    i study and i get passed... deed then reward
                                    40 students in class get study they get pass deed then reward
                                    3 students get standing position which always subject to them as we know we have not a level right now to achieve that much reward how hard we try to perfect our deed...

                                    in that situation .. when u ask something and you are in a situation that links you with something you must get it .. and there is no way that you can get it.. then brains stops work and dreamz ... and wish ...

                                    how you will feel if somebody challange you . and say you cannot do this ?
                                    but you know there is a being who can make it possible... you can say that was the first experiment of closing to God...

                                    but i already get passed so i already rewarded ...
                                    but when i get title position its mean the being is trustable who listens and understand what i need ...

                                    for me its not about the title position what impress me at that time was how powerful that being is who is a real king of this system and that feeling attracts me towards God... like a confident trustable love....

                                    a supreme being who you can rely on without any doubt you can trust him without any doubt
                                    this type of trust we cannot get from anybody or we?

                                      Hi gentles, Salaamun alaikum,

                                      Let me in.
                                      As per my understanding everything belongs to Allah but our rewards from Allah.
                                      Whatever given to us by Allah i.e.,good reward or specially punishment. We are the absolute owner of that.

                                        w salam brother khan,
                                        hope things are ok with you..

                                        brother everything belongs to God , when there was nothing it was the presence of God..

                                        our topic here is what really belong to us what we claim as our property..

                                        the rewards and punishment are generated by God , so God is the owner/controller of these things..

                                        love of God is generated by your emotions
                                        and you are the absolute owner of your emotions..

                                        no body really understand it ..

                                        for reward you do a righteous thing isnt it?
                                        for punishment you did a wrong thing action =reaction, LHS=RHS

                                        the love is a bargaining chip

                                        loving a creator is something on next level..

                                        deeds you done by freewill ( you ll get your results of using that freewill)
                                        love happen spontaneously/automatically thats a slight difference in it.. (what we ll get from it, take a stop here and ponder what a wonderful thing is this)...

                                          w salam brother khan,
                                          hope things are ok with you..

                                          Salaamun,
                                          I am great bro, alhamduliAllah. And hope the same to you.

                                          no body really understand it ..

                                          Neither me

                                          What I was saying is when we do wrong, Allah decides and generate a punishment for us and give it to us as a gift.
                                          That gift belong solely to us. No one can share it nor you can give it to anyone. That is your sole property. You are the absolute owner of it. Hope you get what I am saying.
