I am part way to finding islam after living for mny years as agnostic. This is what I have taken fromreading the Quran - would you agree this is inline with Islamic thinking? Thanks


God is what defines good from bad, right from wrong, joy�from sadness pleasure from suffering and a a clear concience from guilt.
Not the cause but the embodiment of these things, the enabler and the result of good deeds. The pleasure gained from beauty and the wonder that only the most natural can deliver. He is unquestionable, witnessed by everyone - it is up to them to recognise this. He is the cause and the consequense of these things, the option to act justly and charitably and the inevitable result of those actions. He should not be disguised or misguided by elaborations or fabrications these only distract attention from his simplicity. He is not an idol to worship but an existence that should be accepted and invited into ones self. He is everywhere by definition, all knowing and seeing, actions cannot be hidden from him because all actions have effects. His power is infinite because there is no limit to what is good. He exists in your consciousness, in the consciousness of others and in the past and the potential. He is the smallest thought in a single mind and united in the combined conciense of every living creature.

True happiness and contentment is achieved from within, by maintaining awareness of these things and keeping them at the forefront of the mind. All decisions should be made with the best of intentions, any other decisions may linger and haunt the soul whether now or as the last thought to pass through your mind. Take actions that inspire pride so that you are remembered for the positive reasons and that others after you may benefit from your caring behaviour. Good deeds will reciprocate and earlier sacrifices will be repaid with things far more valuable. �Value your neighbours emotions before your own and your actions will guide you to happiness and steer you away from shame. Do not have expectations - they will inevitably be let down, instead be thankful and appreciative for what life has brought you. Do not ask for intervention but maintain hope and remain best prepared to accept good things with gratitude.�

Heaven and hell exist in this life, whether an afterlife exists is irrelevant. The actions you take in this life will lead you to torment or contentment. Only by maintaining a clear concience can peace be found. Those who are not aware of what is right can never find joy in what they do, they are destined for an unfulfilling life and could never experience the rewards of good deeds. You do not need to take actions based on what is required in the next life. Act according to what you understand to be right and just and you will enjoy the rewards in this life. Use this life as an opportunity to establish and maintain a soul that is �selfless and good. Ensure that you, along with others, feel satisfaction from your actions and can find contentment in belief that these actions were good. This will bring you peace.
