Why not believe in God?

Interesting, but Muslims do believe in the same God that the Christians and the Jews believe in, there is only one God. Furthermore, Muslims do not believe that non-believers will be punished with eternal hell fire. We believe that people will be punished according to their deeds and intentions, but God is extremely Merciful and Forgiving and only God knows our punishment.

All people born will die, yet why do people continue to have babies that they know will face certain death? Do they have children to torture them? As a cruel joke? Of course not.

If you commit a crime, say murder someone, you know that there is a good chance you will be caught and punished for this crime. Sometimes this is a deterrent, sometimes not. However, if you are of sound mind and realise what punishment you might face yet commit the murder anyway, then you choose to possibly face that punishment. That is your choice.

Scientifically we are taught that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. It is Newton's Third Law.

What if you do a murder and never get caught? What if you spend your entire life molesting small children and never get caught? You have taken the action, what is the equal but opposite reaction? Do you think there will be no consequences for these actions ever?

If you have no punishment for these actions on this earth, when will you be punished? When you will face the consequences of what you do?

God is not cruel or unjust ever. He tells us exactly what we need to do. He has given us the rules and the ability to understand these rules, all we have to do is choose to follow them.

This is very nice article, maybe copy and paste maybe you work it out yourself. If this is the later than as a muslim I say masha Allah.

In the past people much more interest in a personal God that they can relate what they have sometjing in mind - and He gives the reply in person, a sort of fatherly figure. If they were informed bluntly that this is not the case it would create the feeling of despair among the illiterate population at that time. Let alone in the past, this include today's people.

Believe in God is the first step for a believer. Once he/she is reasonably equiped with theological datas he or she must step forward into knowing him by constantly thinking of Him through the available knowledges. The more the person makes an ernest effort the more he/she will understand what Allah is. In the khadith Qudsy the expression works like this:

When my servant approachs me walking - I am welcoming him running

Once the person knows what he is worshipping than any other influence to dislodge him/her from believing in God is futile works. The best thing they can do is to kill him, because he knows what Allah is.

The multiple use of WE, HE and I in the Qur'an should be a good distance flashing light in the dark to approach. Believe in him, know him, love him. Longing to meet him should be the end result. Shall we start while we have time?

And with Him are the keys of the Invisible. None but He knoweth them. And He knoweth what is in the land and the sea.
Not a leaf falleth but He knoweth it,
not a grain amid the darkness of the earth,
naught of wet or dry but (noted) in a clear record. (6:59)

Assalamu alaikum

well im glad u have one fact straight which is we cant expect to explain The Will of our Lord on our logic, its quite a conincidence that just couple of days ago i noticed one thing in Holy Quran that when there is a mention of disbelievers and their abode in hell, the arabic word 'Abada' which means forever dont come (brother and sisters if im wrong please help me out here cos i want2 know if there is an ayah), now most of time when our Lord most generous mentions people of heaven this word does come, now it could be my lack of knowledge but people who are disbelievers would live in hell but how long and what their end would be, its not with us

now another fact u can neva use the parable of parents and kids with our relation with our Lord, He is our Lord, gives us every thing, nothing in this world we could have done to deserve this life or the blessings in it, now as we know it, most religion say that life is a test, now u said that why cant u see God? well dont u think if u could see God that wont be a test for u to actually follow him, u can see him whats stopping u believing in him then,

another thing if it was very simple and easy that u could actually understand the wisdom behind the fact that why God lets disbelievers live and enjoy the blessings of this life and then burns them in hell, how would that be a test, now u debate the fact God cannot be called Most Mercifull and then that He punishes his creation with hell fire, well this is one of the attributes of our lord, this is not ALL about our lord (u can read attributes of our Lord in Quran and Sunnah section), our lord tells us that He is exact in retribution, now although we human, finite created beings cant use our own example but do u think being a kind hearted person can stop u being a good judge? i dont think so, explore the world of Allah swt with thirst of knowldge and truth not with the doubt

lastly u said something about why should some1 believe in what a book says as a book is only written by a human, now i want to see whether u looking for truth or trouble , if u have time can u find me scientific reason behind why a child resembles his father (or his side of family) and why he resembles his mother (or her side of family), when u do then il tell u why i can have doubt bout reality of my life but not this Book
