What religion are you?

I would say life is holding me back from following my religion. This is my fundamental belief, where God says in the Qur'an

"And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me" - [Qur'an 51:56]

I wasn't religious until about 15-16, you could look back on my posts as to when I initially actually looked into various religions. I was fairly active on the religion forums section where I gathered quite a bit of information and was able to learn quite a lot alongside various other sources, and that was around the time I first read the Qur'an for myself and made an effort to attend some classes to learn more.

It's not a matter of being forced into the religion, as although my parents are Muslim, I looked into various religions and justifications for God's existence mid-way through my teens. I believe everything in the Qu'ran, it's just that my own personal desires for the things of this world very much hold me back in terms of following properly my religion. It's quite sad for me to even admit that and at times brings me to tears but it's something I'll just have to configure by myself, God willing before it's too late.

Good luck with it brother, inshallah we will be guided to the right path and hopefully it won't be too late for us to change our ways and get on the right path so that we can say we've lived a good life and pleased our Lord when the day of judgement comes and we have to answer for all of what we've done.

The one whom created the heavens and the earth and all that exists.

How do you know that Earth was created by someone. There are many plausible ways the earth could have arisen.

This is a false claim. God created the heavens and the earth and all that is in it. Prove otherwise.

I suggest that you read some books on cosmology, astronomy, geology, physics, biology, etc. We KNOW how the solar system, the earth, and everything on it came into being. The only thing that is not KNOWN is the exact process that led to the origin of life on earth - but we have some reasonable hypotheses.

Your claim is false, and demonstrably so.

But you are only scared because you choose to believe that there is something to be scared of. It's no different to the little kid who is scared of the monster under his bed.

As Roosevelt said, paraphrasing Bacon - "We have nothing to fear but fear itself".

Thanks.
The truth is out there, but you'll only find it by reading more than one book.

The one whom created.....all that exists.

If God created all that exists, then that must mean God created Himself (since God comes under the set "all that exists" for the sake of the argument). But this is absurd; nothing can self-create. Therefore God doesn't exist.

Debunked.

Kidding aside, there are many atheological proofs that deal with the nature of causality and creation. I'll compile them and make a thread someday, but I wanna go to sleep now :smile:

I put other but really I just don't know. I typically go by agnostic because I don't know what I believe. I'm open to anything but I don't consider myself atheist because its not that I don't think there's a god but am open to the idea there could be one. I'm just in the middle; maybe there is a god, maybe there isn't. Depends on the day you ask me whether I'll lean slightly one way or another.
