Thx
@@jackslayer2582 the best way to defend is to attack...your way is similar to other, if you dont know answer ..just attack the person..if you dont agree of what she said, this is just your opinion...I think in 2020, the best way to defend your religion is to try the Quran verses where asking people to kill and promising them of Heaven where they can have ultimate sex without getting old with beautiful women??! This is the prize of kelling others, to defend God?. Values and cultures have been Developed to be in the same direction with humanity value.Why Islam? Because we saw a lot of terrorists attacks in the last 20 years more than any time..using the Quran as a base to attack others. With respect to muslims, but the religion needs to be updated.l
@@jackslayer2582 also, if Sarah or myself would be living in arab or Muslim countries, we will be killed by now and all of our families. Just because we criticize Islam... while Saudi mosques cursing Christians and Jewish for years every Friday( the holy day??and we didn't say or threaten anyone. Look what happened in Charlie newspaper and just because of drawing they killed a teacher....
@@jackslayer2582 man....if your really searching for the truth, you should know your religion, but if you think argument is a war and you want to win, this is something else. Surah 3:151: “We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve (all non-Muslims) ...” Surah 2:191: “And kill them (non-Muslims) wherever you find them ... kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers (non-Muslims).” Surah 9:5: “Then kill the disbelievers (non-Muslims) wherever you find them, capture them and besiege them, and lie in wait for them in each and every ambush ...”also, dont tell me that these verses written for a specific reason. The whole Quran has a lot of mistakes and I cant follow a religion where Mohammad killed people in wars..( fotohat)) and married 9 girls...to enjoy Sex. And, can you answer my question: Why all muslims dont make Wars with others to push them convert to Islam like Mohammad?? Because there are laws and police..they cant do it... in USA at least... you know if I talk like this in Saudi or middle east. Afghanistan...I will be KILED..
I think religions are just different types of praying to God. I'm Christan, but since few years and since I got more muslim friends I feel as I'm beetwen those two religions. Is that bad? I don't know. I just think some points of muslim lifestyle is more fitting with me. Beside it more usually when I share or see muslim content I think that some things are just universal. What is the most sad part of it? I think Christan social dosen't show that much content about God and Christianity in daily life.
It doesn't really work to have such a universal approach to religion, because different religions believe vastly different things. If it comes down to lifestyle, I suggest you go check the Bible or the Quran to see what the sources say in regards to that particular lifestyle and it's purpose. And in the end, religion is not meant to be about us, it's supposed to be about knowing God as he truly is.
@@SarahPullenShehadeh I mean I don't know how to call it.. I just call it lifestyle beacuse it was the easier thing to describe it, but i feel like some things are just more right. It's for more me more close than knowegle from Church. For me personaly God is God, I mean thos all religons in the end coming to HIM. What I mean? I belive both of those religons glory God. Isn't it the most important? Glory God, and trying to be the best version of us. Looking for knowegle about Him, and trying to keep him in our hearts every day? I don't know If my point is easy to see, but that's the rules I keep in my heart. When I speak that Islam and Christianty is similar that's what I mean. Almost the same things are allowed and not allowed , things like parable of Abraham. Both of our religon belive in etenral life etc. We all glory Lord and I like to think that it's make us all similar. Why we should build walls while we can make bridges. Following on topic of your video, I don't think someone should to convert for an relation. Whichever it is. I belive everyone should follow what he trutly belive. In other way, is that true love?
My advice take a slow step.. u can convert to Islam when u r ready..there is no forced thats why any relationship Communication is Key Back to intention of heart, u convert to Islam becuz of God, not for ppl or sake of marriage Islam is holistic and cover many part of human life Inshallah learn step by step...may Allah guide n gice hidayah to all
Everybody have to convert based to their belief. Belief cant be forced anyway. Since a belief is what it is inside our thought. Our mouths can say something different than our thought/heart. But i may say, being a muslim means to be a better christian. Since christian means somebody who follows Jesus.
Dear Sister, Islam is not new religion but its Religion of Prophet Adam Moses David Jesus Christ peace b upon them all. Jesus Christ didnt speak English he spoke Aramaic. Search word God in Aramaic its Alaha/Aloha. Read Final Testament Holy Quran.
@@SarahPullenShehadeh Peace, in certain less privileged areas of the world independent research is less accessible, so word of mouth is one prevalent alternative. That being said, a genuine informed decision is the way to go. If you have a chance, read the Qur'an.
It is in favor of Islam for people to become Muslim by searching it.Likewise there is no verse that contradicts reason and science.Greetings from Turkey.
@Bona Vida It makes more sense to me to prove the truth of your religion.Islam religion is a great science. It is not a commodity to be discussed quickly.Thank you for your kind offer.
I personally know two couples that intermarried. The husbands are Muslim and the wives Christian. They do not seem to be practicing any religion. The kids were given international names. No signs of compulsion. We were invited over for dinner on Eid, but then there was a big cross on the wall. It seems like they are trying to honor both religions.
Islam The Beautiful Religion ( Be Just ) Quran 5:8.. '' O you who believe! stand out firmly for God, as witnesses to fair dealing, and let not the > HATRED OF OTHERS TO YOU < make you swerve to wrong and depart from justice. Be just: that is next to piety: and fear God. For God is well-acquainted with all that ye do. '' Quran 4:58 '' Indeed, God commands you to render trusts to whom they are due and when you judge between people to judge with justice. Excellent is that which God instructs you. Indeed, God is ever Hearing and Seeing.'' ( God's The Rules Of War ) Quran 2:190 '' Fight in the way of God > THOSE WHO FIGHT YOU < but do not transgress. Indeed. God does not like transgressors. '' Quran 2 :193 '' And fight them on until there is no more oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in God; but if they cease, Let there be no hostility except to those who practice oppression. '' Quran 4:90 ''.........So if they withdraw from you and cease their hostility and offer you peace, in that case Allah has not granted you permission to fight against them.'' Quran 8:61 ''And if they seek peace, then you also seek it, and put your trust in God. He is the Hearer, the Knowledgeable.'' ( Stand Up For Justice ) Quran 4 :135 '' Ye who believe! stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to God, even as against > YOURSELVES < or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be (against) rich or poor: for God can best protect both. Follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest ye swerve, and if ye distort (justice) or decline to do justice, verily God is well-acquainted with all that ye do.'' ( Who Are The Good Human Beings? ) Quran 2.177 '' Righteousness is "NOT" that you turn your faces ( In Worship ) toward the east or the west but [true] righteousness is [in] one who believes in God, the Last Day, the angels, the Book, and the prophets and gives wealth,> IN SPITE OF LOVE FOR IT,< to relatives, orphans, the needy, the traveler, those who ask [for help], and for > freeing slaves < [and who] establishes prayer and gives charity; [those who] fulfill their promise when they promise; and [those who] are patient in poverty and hardship and during battle. Those are the ones who have been true, and it is those who are the righteous. '' ( Freedom To Believe And To Reject ) Quran 2:256 '' Let there be no compulsion in religion. Truth stands out clear from error '' Quran 10:99 '' And had your Lord willed, those on earth would have believed > all of them entirely < Then would you compel the people in order that they become believers? '' ( Tolerance For Other Religions ) Quran 109: 1- 6 Say,"O disbelievers, I do not worship what you worship. Nor are you worshipers of what I worship. Nor will I be a worshiper of what you worship. Nor will you be worshipers of what I worship. For you is your religion, and for me is my religion." ( Protection for Idol Worshiper ) Quran 9:6 "And if any one of the polytheists seeks your protection, then grant him protection so that he may hear the words of Allah. Then deliver him to his place of safety. That is because they are people who do not know. " Quran16:125 “Call people to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good teaching, and argue with them in the most courteous way” Quran7:199 “Be tolerant....” ( Friendship With Non Muslims ) Quran 60:8 '' God does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, God loves those who act justly. '' ( Do Christians And Jews and "OTHER" non-Muslims go to Heaven? ) Quran 2:62 '' Those who believe (in the Qur'an), and those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Christians and the Sabians,-> ANY { On Judgement Day } ( According to the Quran Christians and Jews worship TRUE God ) (Quran 3:113-114) '' Not all of them are alike: Of the People of the Book ( Christians and Jews ) are a portion that stand (For the right): They rehearse the Signs of God all night long, and they prostrate themselves in adoration. They believe in God and the Last Day; they enjoin what is right, and forbid what is wrong; and they hasten (in emulation) in (all) good works: They are in the ranks of the righteous.'' Note: According to the Quran that Jesus is not God nevertheless Christians still worship one '' TRUE '' God. ( > Allah < Is The Protector Of Monasteries, Churches, Synagogues And The Mosques ) Quran 22:40 [They are] those who have been evicted from their homes without right - only because they say, "Our Lord is Allah ." And were it not that Allah checks the people, some by means of others, there would have been demolished monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques in which the name of Allah is much mentioned. And Allah will surely support those who support Him. Indeed, Allah is Powerful and Exalted in Might. ( Why Are There So Many Different Religions In The World ? ) Quran 5 48 ''...... If God wanted He could have made all of you a > single nation < But He willed otherwise in order to test you in what He has given you;(scriptures) therefore try to excel one another in good deeds. Ultimately you all shall return to God; then He will show you the truth of those matters in which you > DISPUTE submission < to God), never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter He will be in the ranks of those who have lost (Salvation)'' My explanation of above verse Islam mean > submission < to God ( The above verse saying is that God will not accept a religion from the > MUSLIM < and the Non-Muslims but total > submission < to God.) Question: How Can Muslim And the Non-Muslim > submit < to the God? Answer: Be kind to other human beings and Do not lie, Do not steal, Do not cheat, Do not hurt others, Do not be prideful and Do the charity work. ( God Allow Muslims To Marry And Eat Food From the Christian And Jew And Vice Versa ) Quran 5;5 ''This day [all] good foods have been made lawful, and the food of those who were given the Scripture ( Christian and Jew) is lawful for you and your food is lawful for them. And [lawful in marriage are] chaste women from among the believers and chaste women from among those who were given the Scripture ( Christian and Jew) before you, when you have given them their due compensation, desiring chastity, not unlawful sexual intercourse or taking [secret] lovers. And whoever denies the faith - his work has become worthless, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers.'' ( Kindness Toward Atheists / > APOSTATE < ) Quran 60:8 '' As for such [ of the unbelievers ( atheist) ] as do not fight against you on account of [your] faith, and neither drive you forth from your homelands, > Allah < does not forbid you to show them > kindness < and to behave towards them with full equity: for, verily, Allah loves those who act equitably. '' ( All The Terrorists / Killers Will Enter Hell Fire ) Quran 5:32 "......Whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land - it is as if he had slain mankind entirely......" ( Turned Your Enemies Into Your Best Friends ) Quran 41:34 "The good deed and the evil deed are not alike. Repel the evil deed with one which is better, then lo! he, between whom and thee there was enmity (will become) as though he was a bosom friend." ( The Husband and The Wife Are > Protecting Friends < One Of Another ) Quran 9:71 ''And the believers, men and women, are > Protecting Friends < one of another; they enjoin the right and forbid the wrong, and they establish worship and they pay the poor-due, and they obey God and His messenger. As for these, God will have mercy on them. Lo! God is Mighty, Wise.'' Quran16:97 “To whoever, male or female, does good deeds and has faith, We shall give a good life and reward them according to the best of their actions. Quran 30:21 “And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquility in them; and He placed between you > affection and mercy { Love } The Prophet Muhammad said, “Heaven lies under the feet of your mother.” ( Human Are One family ) Quran 49:13 " O mankind!

( All The Racist People Will Enter Hellfire ) Quran 30:22 "And of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and the diversity of your languages and your colors. Indeed in that are signs for those of knowledge." My comment: The > BASIC < message of God to the human is that '' YOU '' believe in God and be kind to other human beings / > animals < and in the > RETURNED < God will > REWARD < you with a new life in Paradise. * The Quran ONLY guides you how to become a good human being "Nothing Else". * You are a good human being or a bad human being that is YOUR choice. * No one can force you to become a good human being. * You MUST work HARD to become a good human being. * Why should ''YOU'' do good deeds and avoid bad deeds? * Do Good - it's for You.

Quran 17:7 '' If you do good, you will do so for your own good. And if you do evil, it will be to your own loss.''

I know your smart and you know what are you doing, but an advise from old man, focus on one thing, you totally shifted the subjects in the last few vedios, . tell us about Texas..about your baby, about cooking, OR let us focus or religions or christianity for example.
Thx
Thank you for your advice. God has definitely been turning my channel in some new and unexpected directions.
@@SarahPullenShehadeh ok good luck
@@jackslayer2582 the best way to defend is to attack...your way is similar to other, if you dont know answer ..just attack the person..if you dont agree of what she said, this is just your opinion...I think in 2020, the best way to defend your religion is to try the Quran verses where asking people to kill and promising them of Heaven where they can have ultimate sex without getting old with beautiful women??! This is the prize of kelling others, to defend God?. Values and cultures have been Developed to be in the same direction with humanity value.Why Islam? Because we saw a lot of terrorists attacks in the last 20 years more than any time..using the Quran as a base to attack others. With respect to muslims, but the religion needs to be updated.l
@@jackslayer2582 also, if Sarah or myself would be living in arab or Muslim countries, we will be killed by now and all of our families. Just because we criticize Islam... while Saudi mosques cursing Christians and Jewish for years every Friday( the holy day??and we didn't say or threaten anyone.
Look what happened in Charlie newspaper and just because of drawing they killed a teacher....
@@jackslayer2582 man....if your really searching for the truth, you should know your religion, but if you think argument is a war and you want to win, this is something else.
Surah 3:151: “We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve (all non-Muslims) ...”
Surah 2:191: “And kill them (non-Muslims) wherever you find them ... kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers (non-Muslims).”
Surah 9:5: “Then kill the disbelievers (non-Muslims) wherever you find them, capture them and besiege them, and lie in wait for them in each and every ambush ...”also, dont tell me that these verses written for a specific reason. The whole Quran has a lot of mistakes and I cant follow a religion where Mohammad killed people in wars..( fotohat)) and married 9 girls...to enjoy Sex.
And, can you answer my question:
Why all muslims dont make Wars with others to push them convert to Islam like Mohammad?? Because there are laws and police..they cant do it... in USA at least... you know if I talk like this in Saudi or middle east. Afghanistan...I will be KILED..
I think religions are just different types of praying to God. I'm Christan, but since few years and since I got more muslim friends I feel as I'm beetwen those two religions. Is that bad? I don't know. I just think some points of muslim lifestyle is more fitting with me. Beside it more usually when I share or see muslim content I think that some things are just universal. What is the most sad part of it? I think Christan social dosen't show that much content about God and Christianity in daily life.
It doesn't really work to have such a universal approach to religion, because different religions believe vastly different things. If it comes down to lifestyle, I suggest you go check the Bible or the Quran to see what the sources say in regards to that particular lifestyle and it's purpose. And in the end, religion is not meant to be about us, it's supposed to be about knowing God as he truly is.
@@SarahPullenShehadeh I mean I don't know how to call it.. I just call it lifestyle beacuse it was the easier thing to describe it, but i feel like some things are just more right. It's for more me more close than knowegle from Church. For me personaly God is God, I mean thos all religons in the end coming to HIM. What I mean? I belive both of those religons glory God. Isn't it the most important? Glory God, and trying to be the best version of us. Looking for knowegle about Him, and trying to keep him in our hearts every day? I don't know If my point is easy to see, but that's the rules I keep in my heart. When I speak that Islam and Christianty is similar that's what I mean. Almost the same things are allowed and not allowed , things like parable of
Abraham. Both of our religon belive in etenral life etc. We all glory Lord and I like to think that it's make us all similar. Why we should build walls while we can make bridges.
Following on topic of your video, I don't think someone should to convert for an relation. Whichever it is. I belive everyone should follow what he trutly belive. In other way, is that true love?
My advice take a slow step.. u can convert to Islam when u r ready..there is no forced thats why any relationship Communication is Key
Back to intention of heart, u convert to Islam becuz of God, not for ppl or sake of marriage
Islam is holistic and cover many part of human life
Inshallah learn step by step...may Allah guide n gice hidayah to all
Everybody have to convert based to their belief. Belief cant be forced anyway. Since a belief is what it is inside our thought. Our mouths can say something different than our thought/heart.
But i may say, being a muslim means to be a better christian. Since christian means somebody who follows Jesus.
Dear Sister, Islam is not new religion but its Religion of Prophet Adam Moses David Jesus Christ peace b upon them all. Jesus Christ didnt speak English he spoke Aramaic. Search word God in Aramaic its Alaha/Aloha. Read Final Testament Holy Quran.
No, Jesus Christ spoke Hebrew and all they were Jewish
Adam was first human he had no any religion
Peace, a person should embrace Islam if he or she believes in it, irrespective of anything else.
As long as that belief is based on careful research and logic.
@@SarahPullenShehadeh Peace, in certain less privileged areas of the world independent research is less accessible, so word of mouth is one prevalent alternative. That being said, a genuine informed decision is the way to go. If you have a chance, read the Qur'an.
It is in favor of Islam for people to become Muslim by searching it.Likewise there is no verse that contradicts reason and science.Greetings from Turkey.
@Bona Vida It makes more sense to me to prove the truth of your religion.Islam religion is a great science. It is not a commodity to be discussed quickly.Thank you for your kind offer.
I personally know two couples that intermarried. The husbands are Muslim and the wives Christian. They do not seem to be practicing any religion. The kids were given international names. No signs of compulsion. We were invited over for dinner on Eid, but then there was a big cross on the wall. It seems like they are trying to honor both religions.
That’s encouraging to hear.
Video from a big fanatical Christian
@Sebulev Potente how much marry age when she married Joseph
@Sebulev Potente for you information she married to christian not muslim
You should not convert to Islam because of marriage or any religion
Agreed!
Islam The Beautiful Religion
( Be Just )
Quran 5:8..
'' O you who believe! stand out firmly for God, as witnesses to fair dealing, and let not the > HATRED OF OTHERS TO YOU < make you swerve to wrong and depart from justice. Be just: that is next to piety: and fear God. For God is well-acquainted with all that ye do. ''
Quran 4:58
'' Indeed, God commands you to render trusts to whom they are due and when you judge between people to judge with justice. Excellent is that which God instructs you. Indeed, God is ever Hearing and Seeing.''
( God's The Rules Of War )
Quran 2:190
'' Fight in the way of God > THOSE WHO FIGHT YOU < but do not transgress. Indeed. God does not like transgressors. ''
Quran 2 :193
'' And fight them on until there is no more oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in God; but if they cease, Let there be no hostility except to those who practice oppression. ''
Quran 4:90
''.........So if they withdraw from you and cease their hostility and offer you peace, in that case Allah has not granted you permission to fight against them.''
Quran 8:61
''And if they seek peace, then you also seek it, and put your trust in God. He is the Hearer, the Knowledgeable.''
( Stand Up For Justice )
Quran 4 :135
'' Ye who believe! stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to God, even as against > YOURSELVES < or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be (against) rich or poor: for God can best protect both. Follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest ye swerve, and if ye distort (justice) or decline to do justice, verily God is well-acquainted with all that ye do.''
( Who Are The Good Human Beings? )
Quran 2.177
'' Righteousness is "NOT" that you turn your faces ( In Worship ) toward the east or the west but [true] righteousness is [in] one who believes in God, the Last Day, the angels, the Book, and the prophets and gives wealth,> IN SPITE OF LOVE FOR IT,< to relatives, orphans, the needy, the traveler, those who ask [for help], and for > freeing slaves < [and who] establishes prayer and gives charity; [those who] fulfill their promise when they promise; and [those who] are patient in poverty and hardship and during battle. Those are the ones who have been true, and it is those who are the righteous. ''
( Freedom To Believe And To Reject )
Quran 2:256
'' Let there be no compulsion in religion. Truth stands out clear from error ''
Quran 10:99
'' And had your Lord willed, those on earth would have believed > all of them entirely < Then would you compel the people in order that they become believers? ''
( Tolerance For Other Religions )
Quran 109: 1- 6
Say,"O disbelievers,
I do not worship what you worship.
Nor are you worshipers of what I worship.
Nor will I be a worshiper of what you worship.
Nor will you be worshipers of what I worship.
For you is your religion, and for me is my religion."
( Protection for Idol Worshiper )
Quran 9:6
"And if any one of the polytheists seeks your protection, then grant him protection so that he may hear the words of Allah. Then deliver him to his place of safety. That is because they are people who do not know. "
Quran16:125
“Call people to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good teaching, and argue with them in the most courteous way”

( Friendship With Non Muslims )
Quran 60:8
'' God does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, God loves those who act justly. ''
( Do Christians And Jews and "OTHER" non-Muslims go to Heaven? )
Quran 2:62
'' Those who believe (in the Qur'an), and those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Christians and the Sabians,-> ANY { On Judgement Day }
( According to the Quran Christians and Jews worship TRUE God )
(Quran 3:113-114)
'' Not all of them are alike: Of the People of the Book ( Christians and Jews ) are a portion that stand (For the right): They rehearse the Signs of God all night long, and they prostrate themselves in adoration. They believe in God and the Last Day; they enjoin what is right, and forbid what is wrong; and they hasten (in emulation) in (all) good works: They are in the ranks of the righteous.''
Note: According to the Quran that Jesus is not God nevertheless Christians still worship one '' TRUE '' God.
( > Allah < Is The Protector Of Monasteries, Churches, Synagogues And The Mosques )
Quran 22:40
[They are] those who have been evicted from their homes without right - only because they say, "Our Lord is Allah ." And were it not that Allah checks the people, some by means of others, there would have been demolished monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques in which the name of Allah is much mentioned. And Allah will surely support those who support Him. Indeed, Allah is Powerful and Exalted in Might.
( Why Are There So Many Different Religions In The World ? )
Quran 5 48
''...... If God wanted He could have made all of you a > single nation < But He willed otherwise in order to test you in what He has given you;(scriptures) therefore try to excel one another in good deeds. Ultimately you all shall return to God; then He will show you the truth of those matters in which you > DISPUTE submission < to God), never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter He will be in the ranks of those who have lost (Salvation)''
My explanation of above verse
Islam mean > submission < to God
( The above verse saying is that God will not accept a religion from the > MUSLIM < and the Non-Muslims but total > submission < to God.)
Question: How Can Muslim And the Non-Muslim > submit < to the God?
Answer: Be kind to other human beings and Do not lie, Do not steal, Do not cheat, Do not hurt others, Do not be prideful and Do the charity work.
( God Allow Muslims To Marry And Eat Food From the Christian And Jew And Vice Versa )
Quran 5;5
''This day [all] good foods have been made lawful, and the food of those who were given the Scripture ( Christian and Jew) is lawful for you and your food is lawful for them. And [lawful in marriage are] chaste women from among the believers and chaste women from among those who were given the Scripture ( Christian and Jew) before you, when you have given them their due compensation, desiring chastity, not unlawful sexual intercourse or taking [secret] lovers. And whoever denies the faith - his work has become worthless, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers.''
( Kindness Toward Atheists / > APOSTATE < )
Quran 60:8
'' As for such [ of the unbelievers ( atheist) ] as do not fight against you on account of [your] faith, and neither drive you forth from your homelands, > Allah < does not forbid you to show them > kindness < and to behave towards them with full equity: for, verily, Allah loves those who act equitably. ''
( All The Terrorists / Killers Will Enter Hell Fire )
Quran 5:32
"......Whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land - it is as if he had slain mankind entirely......"
( Turned Your Enemies Into Your Best Friends )

( The Husband and The Wife Are > Protecting Friends < One Of Another )
Quran 9:71
''And the believers, men and women, are > Protecting Friends < one of another; they enjoin the right and forbid the wrong, and they establish worship and they pay the poor-due, and they obey God and His messenger. As for these, God will have mercy on them. Lo! God is Mighty, Wise.''

" O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise (each other). Verily the most honored of you in the sight of God is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And God has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things)."
( All The Racist People Will Enter Hellfire )
Quran 30:22
"And of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and the diversity of your languages and your colors. Indeed in that are signs for those of knowledge."
My comment:
The > BASIC < message of God to the human is that '' YOU '' believe in God and be kind to other human beings / > animals < and in the > RETURNED < God will > REWARD < you with a new life in Paradise.
* The Quran ONLY guides you how to become a good human being "Nothing Else".
* You are a good human being or a bad human being that is YOUR choice.
* No one can force you to become a good human being.
* You MUST work HARD to become a good human being.
* Why should ''YOU'' do good deeds and avoid bad deeds?
* Do Good - it's for You. Do Bad - It's against you.
* '' YOUR'' life is a TEST from God that you will choose to do either Good or Bad.
* Find the excuse to help others and forgive others NOT the other way around.
* '' YOUR '' final destination is either Hell or Heaven.
* So work HARD toward choice of YOUR destination.
Quran 17:7
'' If you do good, you will do so for your own good. And if you do evil, it will be to your own loss.''
@Bona Vida false
Hahahahah....I agree, Quren says " fight them".....open your mind .y friend.....no space for your Quran now..we are in 2020.... where your Mohammad married 9 years old and killed his friend by sending him to wars so he can take his wife...and your still talking about Quran...
@Bona Vida so easy to refute your lines above.
If your Christianity came from the God of Abraham, can you please provide me one thing you believe and practice as in Christianity that is valid before the God and it stands before the God that which could lead you to salvation, just one thing please.
Hint: Five pillars of Islam are valid before the God and they stand before the God.
@Bona Vida First three line of Genesis alleged 'god' created light after creating Earth.
Please read the verse in order.
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2: And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3: And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
@Bona Vida _"1. Earth is flat? "_
There isn't a flat Earth in the Quran, but rather it was for the human mobility surface area is spread like a carpet.
_"2. Which was created first, earth or sky? "_
Sky existed even before the Earth came into existence.
_"3. does the sun sets in hot muddy spring? "_
Sun doesn't sets in the muddy spring, but rather God of the Quran was conveying someone else's thought in the story narrated in the Quran.
_"4. Who is Mariam daughter of Imran? Is she Jesus mother or Aaron and Moses sister? "_
It was an honorary title was given to her by the people who lived in the time.
_"Why your Quran is not organized? "_
Quran is organized, in best possible way.
May Allah bless, protect and reward you
May Allah guide all of us to straightening path that's Right path by thinking and studying
There’s no compulsion in Islam. So if anyone do as you're saying than thats not the right approach. Islam encourage to do study. thats way people do except Islam very easily.
Go see episodes from Radheed...the brother who converted to christianity and let us talk after that
@Bona Vida
No..there's not

Personal feelings have nothing to do with Islam. Islam is objective. Either a person like Islamic teaching or not, still his like or dislike will be irrelevant in Islam.
