Happiness in Islam

[Dajjal]

There is almost no original material in the Quran, it is largely just bible quotes, or it just mentions the bible characters. This is called name dropping, and is a common ploy of confidence tricksters trying to make out they are more important than they really are by mentioning famous names. The list of bible characters mentioned in the Quran is long, and mostly it just drops their names without any information. Where it does say more about them it lacks the narrative and detail of the bible stories.

[irosie91]

There is only one meaning and purpose in the Quran and that is it tells you to obey Muhammad (the apostle)
The following list is of the number of times the Quran says "obey God and his apostle" . Meaning obey Muhammad or else God will burn you in hell.

3.32 Say: "Obey God and His Apostle": But if they turn back, God loveth not those who reject Faith.

3.132 And obey God and the Apostle; that ye may obtain mercy.

4.13 Those are limits set by God: those who obey God and His Apostle will be admitted to Gardens with rivers flowing beneath, to abide therein (for ever) and that will be the supreme achievement.

4.14 But those who disobey God and His Apostle and transgress His limits will be admitted to a Fire, to abide therein: And they shall have a humiliating punishment.

4.59 O ye who believe! Obey God, and obey the Apostle, and those charged with authority among you. If ye differ in anything among yourselves, refer it to God and His Apostle, if ye do believe in God and the Last Day: That is best, and most suitable for final determination.

4.69 All who obey God and the apostle are in the company of those on whom is the Grace of God,- of the prophets (who teach), the sincere (lovers of Truth), the witnesses (who testify), and the Righteous (who do good): Ah! what a beautiful fellowship!

5.92 Obey God, and obey the Apostle, and beware (of evil): if ye do turn back, know ye that it is Our Apostle's duty to proclaim (the message) in the clearest manner.

8.1 They ask thee concerning (things taken as) spoils of war. Say: "(such) spoils are at the disposal of God and the Apostle: So fear God, and keep straight the relations between yourselves: Obey God and His Apostle, if ye do believe."

8.20 O ye who believe! Obey God and His Apostle, and turn not away from him when ye hear (him speak).

8.46 And obey God and His Apostle; and fall into no disputes, lest ye lose heart and your power depart; and be patient and persevering: For God is with those who patiently persevere:

9.71 The Believers, men and women, are protectors one of another: they enjoin what is just, and forbid what is evil: they observe regular prayers, practise regular charity, and obey God and His Apostle. On them will God pour His mercy:for God is Exalted in power, Wise.

24.52 It is such as obey God and His Apostle, and fear God and do right, that will win (in the end),


24.54 Say: "Obey God, and obey the Apostle: but if ye turn away, he is only responsible for the duty placed on him and ye for that placed on you. If ye obey him, ye shall be on right guidance. The Apostle's duty is only to preach the clear (Message)

33.33 And stay quietly in your houses, and make not a dazzling display, like that of the former Times of Ignorance; and establish regular Prayer, and give regular Charity; and obey God and His Apostle. And God only wishes to remove all abomination from you, ye members of the Family, and to make you pure and spotless.


47.33 O ye who believe! Obey God, and obey the apostle, and make not vain your deeds!

49.14 The desert Arabs say, "We believe." Say, "Ye have no faith; but ye (only)say, 'We have submitted our wills to God,' For not yet has Faith entered your hearts. But if ye obey God and His Apostle, He will not belittle aught of your deeds: for God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."

58.13 Is it that ye are afraid of spending sums in charity before your private consultation (with him)? If, then, ye do not so, and God forgives you, then (at least) establish regular prayer; practise regular charity; and obey God and His Apostle. And God is well-acquainted with all that ye do.

64.12 So obey God, and obey His Apostle: but if ye turn back, the duty of Our Apostle is but to proclaim (the Message) clearly and openly.

72.23 "Unless I proclaim what I receive from God and His Messages: for any that disobey God and His Apostle,- for them is Hell: they shall dwell therein for ever."

Worship God alone

Islam is the worship of God alone and the avoidance of worship directed to any person, place or thing other than God. Since everything other than God, the Creator of all things, is God's creation; it may be said that Islam, in essence calls man away from the worship of creation and invites him to worship only its Creator. He is the only one deserving man's worship as it is only by His will that prayers are answered.

If man prays to a tree and his prayers are answered, it was not the tree which answered his prayers but Almighty God who allowed the circumstances prayed for to take place. One might say: "That is obvious", however, to tree-worshippers it might not be. Similarly, prayers to Jesus, Buddha, or Krishna, to Saint Christopher, or Saint Jude or even to Muhammad, are not answered by them but are answered by God. Jesus did not tell his followers to worship him, but to worship God. As the Qur'aan states:

"And [beware the Day] when Allah will say, "O Jesus, Son of Mary, did you say to the people, 'Take me and my mother as deities besides Allah ?'" He will say, "Exalted are You! It was not for me to say that to which I have no right." ​

 

[irosie91]

Jesus advocated peace-----allah is pleased with teenaged girls who tie bombs to their whorish asses for the purpose of blowing the brains out of infants or people who climb into trucks in order to squash young men and women to death whilst yelling "allahuakbar". Such action is called "the worship of allah"

Read the Quran 5.18 and you will discover that in Muhammad's time, Jews and Christians all believed they were sons of God. But along came the ultimate blasphemer Muhammad who said "nay ye are but men"
Who has done more evil in the world than to deny mankind his innate divinity?

Jesus said we should pray to "our father" not to his father, and he said "greater things than these shall ye do"

The occult teaches that we are all a part of God, and our soul is breathed out of God and contained in the causal body. We are God within God. We are sparks from the divine fire, We are drops in the divine ocean.
But Muhammad took all that away from people with his evil lies about God.

Yes---there is no question that there VERY VERY significant differences between the Judeo/Christian concept of "GOD" and the Islamic concept. You have hit
on the most important------ie the idea that MAN is special----"MADE IN THE IMAGE OF "GOD" "-----and thus people----ALL PEOPLE are the "children of
'GOD' " ----the issue of Christianity vs Judaism is that of ----whether or not
Jesus is an AVATAR of "GOD". The "god" of islam is much more remote and
separated from MAN-----just no related at all

Why Laughing is So Good for You

The science of laughter – though still preliminary – suggests that it has tremendous benefits for our health and psychological well-being.

1) It improves your relationships. Research shows it makes you more open to new people & helps you build relationships

2) It boosts your memory and lowers your stress. A study showed that it can sharpen your ability to remember things while also reducing the stress hormone cortisol, especially in older people.

3) It makes you resilient. Ever had nervous laughter in an awkward or difficult situation? That’s because laughter may help you regulate your emotions in the face of challenge, one study suggests.

Abdullâh b. ‘Umar – Allâh be pleased with him – was asked:

Did the Companions of Allâh’s Messenger – Allâh’s peace and blessings be upon him – used to laugh? He replied, “Yes, and the îmân (faith) in their hearts was greater than the mountains.”

The Religion, " Re-expressed"

The first thing that one should know and clearly understand about Islam is what the word "Islam" itself means. The religion of Islam is not named after a person as in the case of Christianity which was named after Jesus Christ, Buddhism after Gotama Buddha, Confucianism after Confucius, and Marxism after Karl Marx. Nor was it named after a tribe like Judaism after the tribe of Judah and Hinduism after the Hindus.

Islam is the true religion of Almighty God (Arabic: Allah), and as such, its name represents the central principle of God's religion; the total submission to the will of God. The Arabic word "Islam" means the submission or surrender of one's will to the only true God worthy of worship and anyone who does so is termed a "Muslim".

The word also implies "peace" which is the natural consequence of total submission to the will of Almighty God. Hence, it was not a new religion brought by Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in Arabia in the Seventh Century, but only the true religion of God re-expressed in its final form.
The True Religion of God

An Evolutionary Challenge

It's not about words, it's about swords. This is a fight to the finish. If we ever man up, we will finish off Islam for good. Submisssion is surrender and will make history run backwards.

My very own hubby was born in a SHARIAH PARADISE-----his family did
manage to escape whilst he was still an infant-----thus he is alive today----
shortly thereafter the LOVERS OF HUMANITY went on an infant throat
slitting spree for the glory of allah------thus he is alive today

 

[Dajjal]

"You cannot live Islam without loving humanity"

You must be bloody joking. The Quran separates believers and unbelievers, and sets them at war with one another. The Quran clearly states the curse of God is on unbelievers, and they will burn in hell for eternity.

Your Creator is One

The idolatrous polytheists were worshiping gods made of wood, stone, gold, silver and other substances. These gods had a form, shape and body. The gods and goddesses were descended from each other. They stood in need of food and drink and their devotees arranged these for them. A large number of the polytheists believed that God assumed human form and there were some people who descended from Him.

Although the Christians claimed to believe in One God, yet their God also had at least a son, and besides the Father and Son, the Holy Ghost also had the honor of being an associate in Godhead: so much so that God had a mother and a mother-in-law too.

The Jews also claimed to believe in One God, but their God too was not without physical, material and other human qualities and characteristics. He went for a stroll, appeared in human form, wrestled with a servant of His.

Under such conditions when the people were invited to believe in God, the One Who has no associate, it was inevitable that questions arose in the minds as to what kind of a God it was, Who was one and Only Lord and invitation to believe in Whom was being given at the expense of all other gods and deities.
