    Allah in English GOD okay so my question is he (Allah) belong Arabs & Muslim only?

    Allah dose not belong to any one . but Allah is the one and only god of the mankind.
    we moslems prefer to use Allah because it's special . in Arabic you cannot derive any being from word allah.
    but from word god we can derive following
    Goddess , Godfather, Godson where those terms tend to mean association with god. we moslems believe that allah has no association. that's why we prefer to use word Allah instead of GOD

    In your heart
    How to you define following version (Islamic View of Hell)

    Not one of you but will pass over it (Sura 19:71)

    so according to Allah,everyone will sink into Hell. The phrase "Pass over it" has led many
    Islamic theologians to conclude that there might be a bridge (Sirat) spanning Hell right?

    Correspondingly, if, as is the case, we know only what has happened since the
    big bang, we could not
    determine what happened beforehand. As far as we are concerned, events before the big bang can have no
    consequences, so they should not form part of a scientific model of the universe. We should therefore cut them
    out of the model and say that time had a beginning at the big bang

    Stephan Hawking -A Breif History of the time

    no need to mention it . as modern physics tells start of time with big bang . and Allah sates the creation of universe which reflects big bang .so time is created by Allah.

    This is an idea presented by Stephan Hawkings, Not something mentioned in Big Bang Theory.

    Anyways coming back to the original question, you said that muslims believe Time was created by Allah, and that you accept the Big Bang Theory since it is also mentioned in quran(I'm still not clear where). But according to Einstein time is relative, therefor it is just a concept, not something real. Man has invented this concept to measure the rate of change. Now Big Bang Theory much fueled by Einstein's theory of relativity, cannot say that time began with the big bang, since time itself is relative. One can say that big bang happened 5billion years ago, but that is just a relative measure to the movement of earth around sun.

    So the question now is, either all muslims cannot understand that time is a relative measure, just a conept made by humans or Allah says he created time, which makes allah inferior to all who actually understand the concept of time. Which one is it?


    not something but someone
    yes exactly thats wahts we moslem beleive .

    should be as following some thing can be created from nothing . Allah exist without a creator

    but I or You cannot speak about the beginning of allah as it's become invalid because without time we cannot speak about any beginning or ending.
    that's why we moslems say Allah has neither beginning or the ending

    You are quite wrong here. Beginning or Ending has nothing to do with time. Beginning or ending does not happen because of time, time is just a measure for it. i.e Change does not happen because of time. Time is a concept used to measure change. You do not grow old because of time. You grow old because you change.

    I think when you say 'we muslims', you do not represent all muslims. Because your ideas suggest you have minimum understanding of theory of relativity and it is hard to believe all Muslims are like that.

    However it is perfectly all right that you do not understand it. There are many who don't. The important fact I want to highlight is, If it is ok for you to believe that something(Allah) can have no beginning or ending why can't you believe that universe, all of us also has no beginning or ending?(I'm not talking about the Universe afeter Big Bang, I'm talking about pre big bang and everything together). Why should there be creator at all?

    Yes Idea of hawking ,but widely accepted. lets keep hawking a side .
    how can you define time without space ?

    No .I said
    You cannot speak about a beginning of something without a measure of time.

    Again you are mistaken . time is existing inside this universe. at least as measure of events happened

    yes but earlier you were saying that above concept is in Big Bang Theory. I asked you where is it mentioned in Big Bang Theory.

    Do you know what you are talking about? Ok educate me, define time with space.

    Again you are mistaken . time is existing inside this universe. at least as measure of events happened

    I suggest you to look in to special theory of relativity. Time is relative therefor it needs a reference point to be measured. You are going by the assumption that suggests time is universal. In fact all Newtonian physics concepts are derived based on this assumption, and all these laws obey the rules when we consider the frame of earth. Hence this assumption is observable inside this specific frame and we tend to feel time is universal. But when you move out of earth and talk about the whole universe, Newton's laws will no longer be valid and Einstein theories will come in to action. A relative measure is not a real thing but just a relative measure.

    Time does not exist inside the universe. It is just a relative concept. What exists is the constant change of things.

    You did not answer this question, which is the most important one anyway.

    why should i believe universe created by Allah ?
    my faith is nothing to do with science but for the sake of the argument

    1. big bang - it's clearly stated in quran

    Do not the Unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together (as one unit of creation)
    , before we clove them asunder? We made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?
    2. expansion of universe
    YUSUFALI: With power and skill did We construct the Firmament: for it is We Who create the vastness of pace.
    PICKTHAL: We have built the heaven with might, and We it is Who make the vast extent (thereof).

    3.ending of universe -Big crunch

    The Day that We roll up the heavens like a scroll rolled up for books (completed),- even as We
    produced the first creation, so shall We produce a new one: a promise We have undertaken: truly
    shall We fulfill it.

    4. most impotently the Geometry of the universe
    in above verse clearly states scroll rolled up for books
    if you Bing it for images then you'll can see it's a like a sheet of a paper .

    thats again what modern science say

    This is not the end
    This is not the beginning
    Just a voice like a riot
    Rocking every revision
    But you listen to the tone
    And the violent rhythm
    Though the words sound steady
    Something emptys within em

    We say yeah

    With fists flying up in the air
    Like we’re holding onto something that’s invisible there
    Cuz we’re living at the mercy of the pain and the fear
    Until we dead it forget it
    Let it all disappear

    Waiting for the end to come
    Wishing I had strenght to stand
    This is not what I had planned
    It’s out of my control

    Flying at the speed of light
    Thoughts were spinning in my head
    So many things were left unsaid
    It’s hard to let you go

    I know what it takes to move on
    I know how it feels to lie
    All I wanna do is trade this life for something new
    Holding on to what I haven’t got

    Sitting in an empty room
    Trying to forget the past
    This was never meant to last
    I wish it wasn’t so

    What was left when that fire was gone
    I thought it felt right but that right was wrong
    All caught up in the eye of the storm
    And trying to figure out what it’s like moving on

    And I don’t even know what kind of things I said
    My mouth kept moving and my mind went dead
    Picking up those pieces now where to begin
    The hardest part of ending is starting again

    All I wanna do is trade this life for something new
    Holding on to what I haven’t got

    This is not the end
    This is not the beginning
    Just a voice like a riot
    Rocking every revision
    But you listen to the tone
    And the violent rhythm
    Though the words sound steady
    Something emptys within em

    We say yeah

    With fists flying up in the air
    Like we’re holding onto something that’s invisible there
    Cuz we’re living at the mercy of the pain and the fear
    Until we dead it forget it
    Let it all disappear

    Something, lets say X, is relative doesn't mean its unreal. It merely says it makes sense locally.

    No the original question is that you believe Allah always existed, which means somethings can exists without a creator. Why can't universe exist without a creator?

    " Allah always existed "it never means "something " .



    Why can't universe exist without a creator?
    (you are trying to come from negation ) why should i need that question as i already know that allah created the universe

    :lol::lol: then who created allah with that type of power.. he/she should be a more powerful person than him.

    if you cant answer to that quiz, that means you are going to say he is the first one. first one created us... so there should be a second one tried one ... like so many gods... agreeing or not ?

    any how, who created a person with that kind of person ? can we go to that position if he can exist in that position ? what are the requirements ??

    First of all, there is NO way to know with absolute certainty that GOD exists. It is a belief, that is why it is based on faith. You have a belief that you base on faith, and you believe GOD exists, and you try to justify things with that claim, but there is no proof for GOD's existence.

    Secondly, I'm not talking about what you claim to know. I'm just asking you a question of logic. If one can see logic as to something or someone or whatever may have always existed, logically it is ok to assume that some other thing always existed too. So you say allah always existed, fine. But going by that same logic I say we all always existed.

    after reading all these word I can only say

    “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”

    So AntientGlory you decide which one is more suits you better :yes: (Our God is Unbiased)
