    Feel free to let me know what I am missing.

    you did not miss anything,

    i was just looking the picture from another angle in which there is only two ends of spectrum...

    in case of life of beleiver can he/she apply same sepectrum between Good and bad and if he/she does will she go to a middle place in betweeen hell and heaven , thats what most of the muslims believe lol they think there is also a place inbetween hell and paradise and people like mother tresea will b there, lol

    and when i ask why not mother tresea will go to heavens if she really very Good in the sight of God they simply said becoz she was not muslim..

    its going out of topic what i wanted to ask , is there is any balance of hell and paradise..?

    peace

      surah al-A`araf commonly interpreted as purgatory or the heights, in most interpretations, hints at some kind of place which is not heaven, but believers go their and are later admitted into paradise, although, i have not looked into it properly, so i cannot say for sure

      edit al-A`araf is surah 7

        Peace imrankhawaja hell has degrees/stages and so does paradise

        You will be stratified into three kinds.

        Those who deserved bliss will be in bliss.

        Those who deserved misery will be in misery.

        Then there is the elite of the elite.

        I can give my personal opinion about mother Teresa and that is
        she was more committed to helping others than I am therefore
        if she doesn't go to paradise then I may in big trouble &

        surah al-A`araf commonly interpreted as purgatory or the heights, in most interpretations, hints at some kind of place which is not heaven, but believers go their and are later admitted into paradise, although, i have not looked into it properly, so i cannot say for sure

        I agree surah 7 does indeed speak of a place between the two

        peace

            Peace,

            yes i see this now, i am having trouble focusing at the moment, may my lord forgive me.
            I think i somewhat understand your point now.
            haha my cat has certainly helped me understand alot about myself.

            lol, another cat owner on-board! Free-minds should have a section for cats D I guess it sheds light on why the members are the way they are https//www.yahoo.com/beauty/6-cat-person-stereotypes-that-are-totally-true-126447730143.html

            I began understanding it from the verses 230-33. Before we were savage. Civilization began from Adam because he was able to remember (brain use). And then I began pondering upon do's and don't found in other verses. I realized that when we turn the don'ts into do's we end up in the jungle. At face value, it doesn't seem much. But we are powerful. A tiger might be ferocious, but it does not destroy the earth which we are capable of when we surrender to our ferociousness. Being a human comes with big responsibilities. Good news is that we have been given the power to control our urges by analyzing good and bad. And when we choose the good we become the successors. I began to think pride and ego as more of a thing used by animals. Sure my cat looks cute when he is proud, but at the expense of making the little one ( he has some birth defects) feel bad. The pride shown by a human may have similar effect on others who are less fortunate. That's why, I believe Allah told us to avoid it.

            Cats (just like any other species with felis genus) are loyal / identifying themselves with territory.
            Thus sharing the same spot is a big problem for them, especially if both of them are male.
            Even when you moved out, your cat will still be loyal to your old home (territory)..

            While Canis, are more loyal / identifying themselves with object / person.
            They're loyal to their master / leader / provider, regardless of the location / territory...

            Unfortunately, yes, both turned out to be males. They don't like each other. Personality wise, they are poles apart. The little one has been taught to get used to new places. The adult one is still scared to sit in the car.

              Haha prehaps you are onto something there!

              I discovered a family of possums living in our shed lol.. there was a couple living in the roof, now the mother has come down with her baby.. i like possums, here kind of like cats, but there claws are alot sharper lol

              anyway dont want to get too off topic. nice point of humor to brighten up my seemingly endless work though. alhamdullilah

              Peace

                        Because of all those behind your avatar here....!

                        You think evil (malice/vice) exists because of the square and compass ?!

                        ..not sure how does it follow ... Are you evil, reel ?
                        i.e., do you consider yourself evil ? Is the problem choice ?
