Muslims, if your child left Islam, what would you do?

Absolutely ****ing vile how some people could treat their own flesh and blood so despicably.


These people are not humans and do not deserve to have children. If you do not have unconditional love for your own children then you are, quite frankly, sub-human scum.


Having children is a privilege, not a right.


This.

How is atheism a religion?


Did they teach you that in Saudi Arabia?

.

See, I wasn't made aware of the Liberty in Hinduism. My grandad focuses heavily on the "worshiping" element of the religion and in all honesty, it just was not my thing. I prayed when I needed something good to happen to me, other than that I didn't bother.

I don't think I'm a bad Hindu. I still fulfill the traditions, I still visit temples when I can and I'm generally a good individual but like you said, one can still achieve Moksha in other forms.

I felt as though my prayers were never answered so I basically lost faith.

hey bully, get your facts right, i moved here not just because it is KSA but because my dad got a job here. its not full time. since when do i condone killing anyone who doesnt believe in what i believe in, even muslims?! just because i live in saudi? well all the muslims and non muslims living in saudi too must beleive that too.

Most of the followers dont even know themselves what is written in the book, they follow because they are born Christian, Jews , Hindus, Muslims.

Funnily enough the guy in your pic probably thinks you're going to hell.....but he'll happily take your money at the box office in the meantime. You know what they say - 'A fool and his money are soon parted'.

I see. But then, should Hinduism really be classified as a religion if it give so much space for liberty and developing self-awareness? Because essentially, if from what I know is correct, you can achieve Moksha by simply being a moral and righteous person.

Nonetheless, you're right. You don't have to be part of a religion to be a good or bad person.

I think what those parents did was justifiable. I know they're your children but if you're a true Muslim you believe that non Muslims don't go to paradise. Who would want their children in hell for eternity? I certainly understand their point of view.

@mkap what's so different between how the prophet and saudi practised islam for one wasn't the prophet teaching kids in school how to amputate and 2 omg why am i even trying

Just because i am in Saudi arabia does not mean that i agree with EVERYTHING that goes on here, its like saying just because i am from the UK means i agree with the syria airstrikes and i am responsible. your making it out that i wrote the bloody text book. Im only in Saudi arabia 1. because the Ka'bah is here 2. my dad got a teaching job here. once his job is over then im out of here.

when i was referring to how the prophet carried out Islam compared to KSA i was talking about the concepts of religion its self e.g no bidah, just following the sunnah, i wasnt referring to the fact about the 40+ killings and justifiying the extremism here.

I mean you were just judging SRK because of his religion, it seemed a bit unreasonable.

I understand where you're coming from, hearing that "you're not Muslim so you'll go to hell" can sound a aggressive in your view. But I don't think Islam is the only religion with that view, and of course the average Muslim doesn't walk around thinking "you're going to hell, and so are you, and you."

Yeah there are some people with dodgy views, but I don't believe they're in the majority, at least it doesn't feel like that to me.

No one can decide who will go to heaven or hell except God. In order to go to heaven you dont need to be a Muslim and Quran does not say it. Christians/Jews and other religions are also from God and people who follow these religion will go to Heaven.

The most I could do as a parent is discuss my child's opinion on Islam.

It's wrong to force a belief on someone, everyone has the right to have their own choices in life.

Islam doesn't say that non Muslims will go to hell. It says that any individual who is a good human will be judged on his deeds. This is my understanding of Islam tbh.
