Original post by Zamestaneh1. Men make up rules for their own benefit and have done for thousands of yeas, therefore God sent Prophets and Messengers, and He gave us Islam - the Quran and Sunnah - as a way living life according to how He wishes us to. If you believe that the rules of God (the Shariah) was invented by men to serve themselves, then your understanding is flawed, and if you continue to believe this, then you will be rejecting both Islam and God.
2. God knows what's in our hearts is very true, but if you refuse to pray as God has ordered you to do or believe as God has ordered you to believe, then what does that say about your heart? That's the fundamental flaw with this idea and why that argument destroys itself.
3. There are hadith which talk of those who used to do good deeds for the sake of showing off rather than for God - those people will be thrown in Hell before the disbelievers, which shoes how abhorrent their actions were. The excuse that you have given for rejecting prayer is therefore flawed as well.
4. The hadith tell us that we will be divided into sects just as the Christians and the Jews did before us, and that is why it is so important that we try to strive for the truth and try to be from the saved sect; if we cannot be bothered with the sect issue, then really how important is seeking the truth and obeying God to us when we are too lazy to learn and strive for that truth, to implement that truth and to help others benefit from it?
I hope you do not take this post too harshly, but I would strongly advise you to reconsider your perspective and the fundamentals of your belief, and I advise this to myself and others too.
May Allah guide you and us all, Ameen.
