#1.im telling u clearly that any one can think about god,have doubts.there is a point where he comes that all of his doubt get clear.he get an strong faith on his believe.


#2. that is where he become a Muslim.so a person who is Muslim and open mind are two different things.

#1. having "strong faith" does not guarantee that those believes are rationally justified.


#2. By the transition "that", its clear that you are referring to your previous sentence, in which you made a comment about "strong faith"

you said,

"his doubt get clear
he get an strong faith on his believe.
that is where he become a Muslim."

so, does having "strong faith" on the belief of God make someone Muslim??

How about Jews and Christians who also have "strong faith" in their believes of God..??

those christians who have strong faith will remain christian and who is not satisfied with their faith will search the answer.if they not convince with the answer they will find it from another faith.
so every human get doubt about their faith and once its clear and realise he will become a good follower.
even prophet muhammed not a born muslim.he went and meditate in a cave as he believed there is something over powered above.thats where he received the revelation from god and informed him as the last messenger as mentioned in other religious scriptures.

not only religion even an athiest have a faith that there is no god.if he realise he is wrong he will correct it.

what makes them to have that view:rolleyes:

very simple.those who dont believe in god are lost in this world and after.they are rejecting the god and his commandments.

for an example in islam its not allowed for us to have alcohol.but for a person who dont believe in god will have as much as he want.so he is lost in this world and after life as well.

not only non believer even if a muslim committing a crime is a sinner.

doesnt this mentioned by u on an earlier post????????so this is where u telling that muslims cant look things with an open mind.right?

I said muslims do not have an open mind when it comes to the concept of GOD. I did not say muslims can't look, like you mentioned below.

so when ur telling muslim is not able to be look doesnt make sense

im telling u clearly that any one can think about god,have doubts.there is a point where he comes that all of his doubt get clear.he get an strong faith on his believe.that is where he become a Muslim.so a person who is Muslim and open mind are two different things.
Not really. See according to you a muslim is a person who believes in GOD and he does not have an open mind to accept anything else when it comes to GOD concept. So a muslim is a person who is close minded to the idea that GOD may or may not exist. He is not open minded when it comes to the idea of GOD.

there are many non Muslims who studied about other faiths and at-last became Muslim.and after that there are clear and strong with their faith.so what u have to say about them.
How is it relevant?

u still with an open mind,coz u have doubts.but for a muslim he become muslim when he clear with all the doubts.
Exactly, when he closes his mind to the idea that there can be other explanations for the existence other than GOD, he becomes a muslim and close minded to any other ideas.

muslim means the person who submitted his will to god.so how can he submitt his will to a doubtful god.i hope u understand that its not that muslims have any rule like that.i already had told u its not haram to discuss about religion.u can doubt,ask questios.no harm in that.coz islam is strong.
Well according to Scholar like Zakir Naik, and some Sunni schools, leaving Islam is punishable by death. There are rules against it, clearly you don't know about them it seems.

yes..yes.i know about it.and the evidence u think wrong can be a correct evidence as well....so understand that first.dont think ur always Mr.correct.
Good that you established this fact. Now don't babble saying "You don't agree when I presented you with evidence" again. I know my understanding can be wrong. This is why I never say I present evidence. I only present reasonable logic to the best of my understanding.

i can see that from ur replies!!
Really? You are much more intelligent than I ever thought.

this is what u think about us.u think we defending a book.first understand that we are not like how u think.this is a very important place where u have to correct ur thinking error.muslims discuss,ask questions and i found its logical for me to believe in islam. so omit from ur mind that muslims just believe bacause their book says so!!and tell me whats wrong in believing in a book if its correct.if u think its wrong prove us.will discuss!!
First I know that muslims discuss and ask questions. I live with two muslim brothers. I never said that you do not. But I do not take back what I said. I still say you follow a book blindly. First you tell me that I should omit from my mind the fact that muslims believe because their book says so. Then you ask me what's wrong in believing in a book? So which one is it? Do you believe because the book says so or not? If not then there's no point in discussing whether the book is correct or not right?
u know zakir naik tells that provide me a verse from bible where Jesus is telling he is god or asking to worship him and if so he ready to accept Christianity.its a challenge and this shows that islam is not allow us to ask questions.
What does it show again? "Islam is not allow us to ask questions"? can you clarify this sentence?

u thinking that we follow blindly. can u clarify me how and why u think this??????
You don't have any proof for your belief. You present a book as evidence. But the only answer you have to the question "why you think the book offers truth?" is "Because the book says so". This is circular logic. This is just blindly following something because you are born to these concepts.

.yes of cource im a born muslim.my parents wanted me to guide me in way which will lead me to have a good life.and when i grow up i understood,compared my life with others.and so much satisfied with my faith.and when i m telling this u dont agree.so what can i do for that!!:no:
What are you talking about? I agree that you are born muslim and that you yourself are satisfied with your faith. Where did I not agree with this?

what u have to say about the converts from other faiths?????????why they come to islam?
Why should I say something about them? Is it relevant? Who ever converts to Islam is a muslim just like you who has closed his mind to ideas other than one GOD Allah.

and also what about the people who leave islam.
What about them? I know that in some countries they get killed. Other than that what?

i never force u to believe in it.believing it or not is up to u.but defenietly im trying to prove my point and u dont agree.thats it.as per u if ur telling that that their is not god do i have to shut my mouth and wait..is that what u want...cant i explain anything.then whats the reason of starting this thread.
Now we have already established the fact that what you bring as proof unless it is real proof(proved with maths, or logic) is not proof for me. So what you can try to do is bring out your logic and try to establish your point. I don't have to agree with you on anything. I don't expect you to shut your mouth. In fact I expect you to do the exactly opposite and keep this thread running. And I want you to explain things as you understand.
The point I want to emphasize is that, you always say "I brought the evidence or proof, but you don't agree". I'm saying there' s no evidence for GOD. Even if you say it's evidence or proof, I might not take it as evidence or proof. And there's no evidence that suggests GOD does not exist either. So saying you have evidence is wrong, unless you have evidence. What you have is logic, and you may present it, and I may or may not agree.


a person become a muslim afer he believe and identify god.so no point in talking about this with u unless u understand it.if i get doubtsim not a muslim so he should try to clear his doubts.if he is ok and find the answers logical he can again come to islam and become a muslim.if not he can leave.thats it.from the view of a muslim the person who left islam is sinner.
Let me break it down for you.

(1) A person may have his doubts, and he may have an open mind about whether GOD exists or not. - We both agree
(2) This person becomes a muslim when submits to will of allah -
We both agree
(3) At the point he becomes a muslim he closes his mind to the fact that there can be any other GOD or any other explanation for our existence(Because he is satisfied completely with his belief). - Do you agree????
(4) If he dares to doubt his GOD, at this point he becomes a non muslim - Do you agree?
(5) Therefor a muslim has only one opinion about the concept of GOD - Do you agree?
(6) Therefore a muslim is closed mind to the concept of GOD. - Do you agree?

a teacher teaches a child that 2+2 is = 4.and the student doesnt agree with the teacher.so who is in the lost here.
I'm hoping at least now you can understand that 2+2 =4.

it will not make us a sinner.useless explaining to u this.coz no matter how many times we tell we are not,u will not agree.coz this is very easy and only way how u can defend a muslim.
anyway do any muslims just telling this or arnt this really happening ????tell me.if its true why u think it is stupid to tell.
What will not make you sinners? Useless explaining what? Do any muslims just telling what? What is really happening? I don't understand what you are talking about.
Are you talking about blind faith?

not only non believer even if a muslim committing a crime is a sinner.

I think the question in hand was "Is leaving Islam a sin"? If so, is it because it is said so in the quran?

I said muslims do not have an open mind when it comes to the concept of GOD. I did not say muslims can't look, like you mentioned below.

yes.u told in that way.it means that muslims cant see(look) a thing with open mind.


Not really. See according to you a muslim is a person who believes in GOD and he does not have an open mind to accept anything else when it comes to GOD concept. So a muslim is a person who is close minded to the idea that GOD may or may not exist. He is not open minded when it comes to the idea of GOD.

i already told u a person becoms a complete muslim when his faith of god get 100% confirm.so what is the point in asking him to b open.he is very much ok with his believe.he has 100% confident over his believe.it is like a child who is sure about his dad.those who doubt will do a dna test.



How is it relevant?

a person with an open mind will search everything openly.and once he realised that islam is the correct way and accept it.so after that he get 100% satisfied and no more doubts.so the statements like a muslim cant see with open mind or brain washed will not make any sense.

Exactly, when he closes his mind to the idea that there can be other explanations for the existence other than GOD, he becomes a muslim and close minded to any other ideas.

i think u should open ur mind and realise that ,
a person realise the god and find that there is no other explanations needed to understand god,become a muslim as he is so much convince with what he believe in.

Well according to Scholar like Zakir Naik, and some Sunni schools, leaving Islam is punishable by death. There are rules against it, clearly you don't know about them it seems.

i never saw a video of zakir naik telling this.and of course he ansewred a person who asking it during a question ansewr section that not a person who leaves islam give death panalty,but if he leaves islam and start to propagate and malay about islam should put to death.

Good that you established this fact. Now don't babble saying "You don't agree when I presented you with evidence" again. I know my understanding can be wrong. This is why I never say I present evidence. I only present reasonable logic to the best of my understanding.

i will reply u separately.

Really? You are much more intelligent than I ever thought.

:rofl:

First I know that muslims discuss and ask questions. I live with two muslim brothers. I never said that you do not. But I do not take back what I said. I still say you follow a book blindly. First you tell me that I should omit from my mind the fact that muslims believe because their book says so. Then you ask me what's wrong in believing in a book? So which one is it? Do you believe because the book says so or not? If not then there's no point in discussing whether the book is correct or not right?

first ur telling that u never said we dont.
secondly ur telling that we are following it blindly.clarify this with ur self.i dont even need a reply.

also if a book tells me that 2+2 is 4 i will agree because i know that if some one give me 2 rupees and another one give me 2 rupees i will get a total of 4.
but is there is a book which tells that 2+2 is 3 or 2+2 is 5 i will not agree.coz i can understand that its wrong.

so following a book can be wrong for u but for me if its correct no harm in believing.
also we beleive in the author of the book and follow his commandments(book)
if u want to prove my book is wrong point me out.i will reply u.

What does it show again? "Islam is not allow us to ask questions"? can you clarify this sentence?

u think that islam not allow us to ask questions.but its not like that.we can ask and clarify.i mentioned about dr zakir naik challenging to provide a verse from bible and he will leave islam to show u how open a muslim can think.

You don't have any proof for your belief. You present a book as evidence. But the only answer you have to the question "why you think the book offers truth?" is "Because the book says so". This is circular logic. This is just blindly following something because you are born to these concepts.

tell me why u think book is false.ur are blind because u think cant believe in a god which u cant see with ur eyes.
u dont like to understand that god doesnt come front of us because he didnt create us in a way where we dont have the strenght to face him.so he chose men among people to convey is message and the purpose of creating us.
there are many quranic verses which proved my many scientist proved to be correct 100%. so what u think of that? in this age if any1 tells something we will not pay much attention because we know the science and technology is so advanced.but think how a illiterate man narrating all of those things 1400 years ago.islam is not based on magic or anything.it clearly tells us correctly to the point.it is the only book scripture which is available in a language which is still present.

What are you talking about? I agree that you are born muslim and that you yourself are satisfied with your faith. Where did I not agree with this?

not about me i talking about us/muslims here.

Why should I say something about them? Is it relevant? Who ever converts to Islam is a muslim just like you who has closed his mind to ideas other than one GOD Allah.


yes he kept open his mind and automatically closed when found the truth.door is an automatic 1.it will open when u have doubts ,it will get close when u clear.:D


What about them? I know that in some countries they get killed. Other than that what?

may be.i dont know and i dont believe every news which publish.but in islam it tells in hadees to do so when any1 start to maly about islam after leaving.there are many people even at the time of prophet who left islam after believing in it.but never heard of a hadees mentioning killing them.

Now we have already established the fact that what you bring as proof unless it is real proof(proved with maths, or logic) is not proof for me. So what you can try to do is bring out your logic and try to establish your point. I don't have to agree with you on anything. I don't expect you to shut your mouth. In fact I expect you to do the exactly opposite and keep this thread running. And I want you to explain things as you understand.


what u mean by this?
yes u cant expect me to shut my mouth because ur the 1 who wanted to know the view of a muslim so that ur open mind can grab something!!!

The point I want to emphasize is that, you always say "I brought the evidence or proof, but you don't agree". I'm saying there' s no evidence for GOD. Even if you say it's evidence or proof, I might not take it as evidence or proof. And there's no evidence that suggests GOD does not exist either. So saying you have evidence is wrong, unless you have evidence. What you have is logic, and you may present it, and I may or may not agree.

tell me what type of eveidence u want.u may tell that if u cant see that with ur eyes u will not believe in it,right?!!
it is like a blind man telling that he dont believe in colours coz he cant see that.


[

(1) A person may have his doubts, and he may have an open mind about whether GOD exists or not. - We both agree

I'm hoping at least now you can understand that 2+2 =4.

3.yes
4no.doubt will not make him a non muslim.thats why there are learned people who are there to clear our doubts.if we are satisfied we can go ahead.if not and the doubt get confirm as false he will become a non muslim.
5.no.
6.no.
4 th answer is sufficient for ur all 4 questions.

1.What will not make you sinners?

2. Useless explaining what?
3.Do any muslims just telling what?
4. What is really happening?

5. I don't understand what you are talking about.
6.Are you talking about blind faith?


i will reply from ur own query of a an earlier post.
I don't know what's your point here. I don't have a faith. I don't rest things on faith blindly like you do. And I was not forced a religion from birth like you were. I have an open mind to think about things.1. It is not a sin to doubt about what I believe. I can choose to believe in GOD or not anyday I want. You don't have that option, coz 2.you are so close minded to such ideas. Your thinking is so limited that you think, what you think is right and whatever argument you bring to prove your point is concrete and serves as evidence and everyone should believe it. If I make a mistake I accept it and apologize. There are plenty of times I have done this. But you don't even have that chance coz in your limited frame, you cannot make a mistake about the GOD because that would make you a sinner. So you are forced to continue blindly and
you are stupid enough to think this is3/4:my faith growing everyday.
[/QUOTE]

5.hope now u will understand.
6.no

see ..ur second reply to PUCHASIRA shows that u dont want a reply but want some1 to agree what u believe in.its ur faith.


So your opinion is that there is no evidence for GOD. Thanks.

Strongly believe in god= faith
strongly not believing in god= faith

i cant see a different

Faith means believing in something without proper or enough facts. Or simply it means if you believe in something due to your faith you don't have to give logical reasons to why you believe that.

This is how "Faith" is explained in wikipedia
-

Faith is the confident belief or trust in the truth or trustworthiness of a person, concept or thing. The English word is thought to date from 1200–50, from the Latin fidem or fidēs, meaning trust, derived from the verb fīdere, to trust.

The term is employed in a religious or theological context to refer to a confident belief in a transcendent reality, a religious teacher, a set of teachings or a Supreme Being. It may be used to refer to a particular religious tradition or to religion in general.

Since faith implies a trusting reliance upon future events or outcomes, it is often taken by some people as inevitably synonymous with a belief "not resting on logical proof or material evidence."

Faith is in general the persuasion of the mind that a certain statement is true, belief in and assent to the truth of what is declared by another, based on his or her supposed authority and truthfulness. Informal usage can be quite broad, and the word is often used as a mere substitute for trust or belief'.

Atheists do not believe in god because there are no apparent hard evidence to prove the existence of such an entity.

Not believing in something due to lack of proof is called consciousness. Its not faith. And this is the very reason why faith always fails when it has to compete against reason. Remember faith starts where the reason ends.

To call it faith, all atheists must know that god exists and choose not to believe in god. But this is not the case here.

And also some may say that scientists also have faith. And that faith that the belief that basic elements or fundamentals that whole science is based on is true. But they forget to mention that these so called beliefs are always open to be changed. If a new scientist can come up with a provable new idea then some fundamentals may subject to change on some conditions. BUT this is a rule that can never be applied to beliefs in supernatural entities. Science is always open to question and reformation. But religions are not.

    faith has to be directed towards something ( a object of faith)

    (eg- girl friend, boyfriend, Vishnu, God, Budhdha etc etc etc....)

    atheists don't have such "object of faith" towards which their faith is directed..

    its impossible to have faith without an object of faith..

    you said,

    "his doubt get clear
    he get an strong faith on his believe.
    that is where he become a Muslim."

    so, does having "strong faith" on the belief of God make someone Muslim??

    How about Jews and Christians who also have "strong faith" in their believes of God..??

    hi,

    putting important points in underlined bold letters is really effective in communication...I learned it from you...:D
