SALVATION

Allaah accepts the repentance of those who do evil in ignorance and repent soon afterwards; to them will Allaah turn in mercy: For Allaah is full of knowledge and wisdom. Of no effect is the repentance of those who continue to do evil, until death faces one of them, and he says, "Now have I repented indeed;" nor of those who die rejecting Faith: for them have We prepared a punishment most grievous.
Qur'an 4:17

Allaah forgiveth not that partners should be set up with Him; but He forgiveth anything else, to whom He pleaseth; to set up partners with Allaah is to devise a sin Most heinous indeed.
Qur'an 4:48

If ye reject (Allaah), truly Allaah hath no need of you; but He liketh not ingratitude from His servants: if ye are grateful, He is pleased with you. No bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another. In the end, to your Lord is your Return, when He will tell you the truth of all that ye did (in this life). For He knoweth well all that is in (men's) hearts.
Qur'an 39:7

“Indeed, those who recite the Book of Allaah and establish prayer and spend out of what We have provided them, secretly and publicly, (can) expect a profit that will never perish. That He may give them in full their rewards and increase for them of His bounty. Indeed, He is Forgiving and Appreciative.”
Qur'an 35:29

 

[aziz rasul]

44. That is from the news of the unseen which We reveal to you, [O Muhammad]. And you were not with them when they cast their pens as to which of them should be responsible for Mary. Nor were you with them when they disputed.
45. [And mention] when the angels said, "O Mary, indeed Allaah gives you good tidings of a word from Him, whose name will be the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary - distinguished in this world and the Hereafter and among those brought near [to Allaah].
46. He will speak to the people in the cradle and in maturity and will be of the righteous."
47. She said, "My Lord, how will I have a child when no man has touched me?" [The angel] said, "Such is Allaah ; He creates what He wills. When He decrees a matter, He only says to it, 'Be,' and it is.
48. And He will teach him writing and wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel.
49. And [make him] a messenger to the Children of Israel, [who will say], 'Indeed I have come to you with a sign from your Lord in that I design for you from clay [that which is] like the form of a bird, then I breathe into it and it becomes a bird by permission of Allaah. And I cure the blind and the leper, and I give life to the dead - by permission of Allaah. And I inform you of what you eat and what you store in your houses. Indeed in that is a sign for you, if you are believers.
50. And [I have come] confirming what was before me of the Torah and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. And I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, so fear Allaah and obey me.
51. Indeed, Allaah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is the straight path."
52. But when Jesus felt [persistence in] disbelief from them, he said, "Who are my supporters for [the cause of] Allah ?" The disciples said," We are supporters for Allaah. We have believed in Allaah and testify that we are Muslims [submitting to Him].
53. Our Lord, we have believed in what You revealed and have followed the messenger Jesus, so register us among the witnesses [to truth]."
54. And the disbelievers planned, but Allaah planned. And Allaah is the best of planners.
Qur'an 3 (The Family of Imran) 44-54

 

[Jon]

Are the religious also disbelievers because they disbelieve in atheism?

 

[conception_native_0123]

I can't believe aziz keeps posting those bold letters. they are getting out of hand.

 

[The_Doc_Man]

As long as he doesn't violate the posted rules about disrespect for others and doesn't engage in vulgarity, I have to defer to Jon's rules that prevent arbitrary censorship.

Aziz, please understand that I believe your posts are counter-productive since they serve to demonstrate the mind-numbing monotony of your - or Islam's - message. However, if you wish to continue posting such monotonous messages and you think doing so somehow will gain you favor with your imaginary sky daddy when your time comes, go right ahead.

I wish you peace, shalom, salaam, or however you choose to spell it.

 

[Isaac]

It is hypocrisy of course but that is a fundamental tenet of religion

That's not hypocrisy. It would be hypocrisy if the religious institutions were showing up at job fairs at other religious institutions of other faiths, demanding to be let in.

As-is, it's just an implementation of the obvious way to resolve the fact that religious institutions should be allowed to operate.

 

[Galaxiom]

That's not hypocrisy.

Yes it is because an atheist business owner cannot consider the applicant's distasteful religious belief as reason not to employ them.

 

[aziz rasul]

Are the religious also disbelievers because they disbelieve in atheism?

It is God, the Creator, who alone decides the definition of who is a disbeliever (kaafir), which is one who REJECTS Him after knowing He exists and dies in that state. The biggest kaafir is Iblis (Satan). It is not the created who decides the rules.

Have you seen he who has taken as his god his [own] desire, and Allaah has sent him astray due to knowledge and has set a seal upon his hearing and his heart and put over his vision a veil? So who will guide him after Allaah ? Then will you not be reminded?
Qur’an 45:23

I can't believe aziz keeps posting those bold letters. they are getting out of hand.

I can. Funny how vexed you have become simply based on bold letters, which I often used in MS Access forms.

Aziz, please understand that I believe your posts are counter-productive...

The_Doc_Man, you are entitled to your opinion. The many reverts to Islam, as I, would disagree with you. In fact even you will see the truth when the angel of death appears one day and it will be too late then as did with Pharaoh.

And We took the Children of Israel across the sea, and Pharaoh and his soldiers pursued them in tyranny and enmity until, when drowning overtook him, he (Pharaoh) said, "I believe that there is no deity except that in whom the Children of Israel believe, and I am of the Muslims."
Qur’an 10:90

Yes it is because an atheist business owner cannot consider the applicant's distasteful religious belief as reason not to employ them.

Just as a Muslim business owner cannot consider the applicant's distasteful unIslamic practices as reason not to employ them.

A Muslim is a person who SUBMITS to God, therefore Jesus (peace be upon him) was a Prophet of God.

“I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just because I seek to do not my own will but the will of him who sent me.
John 5:30 See also John 6:38, John 5:19

10 When he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was in turmoil, asking, “Who is this?”
11 The crowds were saying, “This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth in Galilee.”
Matthew 21:10-11

Then Jesus said to them, “Prophets are not without honor, except in their hometown and among their own kin and in their own house.”
Mark 6:4

When the people saw the sign that he had done, they began to say, “This is indeed the prophet who is to come into the world.”
John 6:14

When they heard these words, some in the crowd said, “This is really the prophet.”
John 7:40

Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David and Muhammad (a descendant of Abraham through his first born son Ishmael) (peace be upon them all) were ALL Muslims who fully SUBMITTED to God in His Oneness?

 

[conception_native_0123]

It is not the created who decides the rules.

I think richard would strongly disagree with that! ha!

 

[conception_native_0123]

Funny how vexed you have become simply based on bold letters

I was referring to your whole posts, which are long and boring.

 

[Galaxiom]

It is God, the Creator, who alone decides the definition of who is a disbeliever

Your irrational delusions are not a valid basis for a rational argument.

 

[aziz rasul]

I think richard would strongly disagree...

I simply gave you Islam's and my point of view. Each to their own.

"Truth has (now) arrived, and Falsehood perished: for Falsehood is (by its nature) bound to perish."
Qur'an 17:81

I was referring to your whole posts, which are long and boring.

Not to me. Each to their own. No one is forcing you to read them.

39. In fact, they [hastily] rejected the Book without comprehending it and before the fulfilment of its warnings. Similarly, those before them were in denial. See then what was the end of the wrongdoers!
40. Some of them will eventually believe in it; others will not. And your Lord knows best the corruptors.
41. If they deny you, then say, “My deeds are mine and your deeds are yours. You are free of what I do and I am free of what you do!”
42. Some of them listen to what you say, but can you make the deaf hear even though they do not understand?
43. And some of them look at you, but can you guide the blind even though they cannot see?
44. Indeed, Allaah does not wrong people in the least, but it is people who wrong themselves.
Qur'an 10:40-44

Your irrational delusions are not a valid basis for a rational argument.

34. Say, "Are there of your 'partners' any who begins creation and then repeats it?" Say, " Allah begins creation and then repeats it, so how are you deluded?"
35. Ask them, O Prophet?, “Can any of your associate-gods guide to the truth?” Say, “[Only] Allaah guides to the truth.” Who then is more worthy to be followed: the One Who guides to the truth or those who cannot find the way unless guided? What is the matter with you? How do you judge?
36. Most of them follow nothing but [inherited] assumptions. [And] surely assumptions can in no way replace the truth. Allaah is indeed All-Knowing of what they do.
37. It is not possible for this Qur'an to have been produced by anyone other than Allaah. In fact, it is a confirmation of what came before, and an explanation of the Scripture. It is, without a doubt, from the Lord of all worlds.
Qur'an 10:34-37

1. Say (O Muhammad): He is Allaah, the ONE and ONLY;
2. Allaah, the Eternal, Absolute;
3. He begetteth not, nor is He begotten;
4. And there is none like unto Him.
Qur'an 112:1-4

 

[conception_native_0123]

keep posting then. I say go for it!

 

[The_Doc_Man]

4. And there is none like unto Him.

Right, ... because he doesn't exist.

 

[aziz rasul]

keep posting then. I say go for it!

Will do.

And there is none like unto Him.

Meaning that God does resemble His creation.
