Why not believe in God?

Israfil wrote: Well this is why I don't believe that humans have 'free will' in the sense of the word, but have the capcity to act.

just exactly what is this supposed to mean, israfil?  if humans do not have free will, then they can only act according to a pre-determined course.  in which case, what does the "capacity to act" mean?  surely if your statement is true,  they cannot avoid acting the way they do, in which case it must be said they have no capacity at all to act other than they do.  what kind of capacity is this?

Bismillah irrahman irrahim

JazakAllah khair brother Ahmed for the link, i was trying to find something similar.

hi harry, i was just wondering whether u actually have ever read a Book which its people call divine? anyway now u got chance to actually c the proof and then come and tell us what u think

wassalam 

Al Salamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatu Allahi Wa Barakatuh,

God does not send people to hellfire out of the joy of it. It is true that God can prevent these people from existing in the first place because he knows what they will be doing, but you seem to be missing the point. This is their choice. He gave them the freedom to choose and thats what they chose so He will give to them.

As for proof that the Quran is really sent from Allah and that Mohammed is a prophet, well its easy. All you have to do is look up some of the scientific miracles mentioned in the Quran. The Quran is full of verses (and so is Hadeeth) that mention scientific facts that were only known to man hundreds of years later. Also keep in mind that the prophet was illiterate. So there is no way he or any human could have written this book. It has to bne a divine revelation. For example search up Dr. Kieth Moore on the net. He is a pioneer in the field of embroyolgy, who as also an athiest and when someone presented some Quranic verses to him a few years ago depicting scientific facts about embroyology, he said that if he was presented with these verses 30 years earlier, he would not have been able to decide whether they were true or not because science wasn't advanced enough to help discover these facts. Soon after that he reverted to Islam. The examples are many. Visit www.irf.net and you will find many many more examples.

Again Harry..... you are missing the point

Even when God are giving us his attribues these are comprehensive attributes which we can partially identify God by. What I mean by identify I mean that which is necessary to understand not necessarily try to figure out. True God is All-knowing and knows th sinner's actions aforehand and although God has the will to not create such an individual he still does. Why? These are the great mysteris of asking such philosophical questions. However I don't think of these philosophical issues. I tend to look at these attributes as guiding points in understanding something about God.

I can make a whole arguement in defense of God's attributes but I'm merely stating that why go this far?
