zen Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Well your question is flawed firstly because there is no limited spaces in paradise, Allah will forgive whomsoever he wills. Look it is not my job to compel this person to paradise and this person to hell only the all knowing, seeing Allah can do that as he is the best of judges. But what we do know from The Quran is that Only those who have faith can attain paradise that is not to say that they can not be punished but eventually if they had even an ounce of faith Allah will forgive them. The answer is not clear. It appears as if you are leaning more towards "B". Feel free to correct me if I m wrong. Coming back to the question: It is a hypothetical question and you are to ONLY make a recommendation (NOT decision as it rests with Allah and only Allah). More details to help you to make a recommendation: "A" is only a Muslim by birth. He does not visit Mosques or does Namaz. The free education that he provides does not include Koran "B" on the other hand, as we can see, has only taken things from others. However, he is a true believer of Allah. To show his devotion, he tries to spread Islam by any means including killing people, levying special taxes non-Muslims, etc. To serve Allah, he plans to convert everyone to Islam by hook or crook. He never misses his Namaz even when facing death Once again, you are to ONLY make a recommendation (NOT decision as it is understood that it rests solely with Allah). Whom would you recommend?
Shivaji bhonsle Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Well I believe in not hurting anyone's personal beliefs. If you believe in something, who am I to question you? As long as they don't have a negative impact on my life. These arguments on religion are incredibly pointless and only end in a bitter manner. I have the right to disagree but I would be an idiot to constantly try to argue over religion , over and over again. And if you really believe in mocking religions and questioning them, why do I only see Islam being questioned? Nothing is holy in the world. This is where freedom of speech comes in. Religion is common for everyone. So, people should be able to accept criticism if few of them find something wrong with it. Debate it, accept the criticism. If it hurts your beliefs, so be it. But, its not personal, because religion is common for everyone. It does not belong to you. Humanity is bigger than any religion in this world. I do get hurt when MF Hussein drew naked Hindu gods and made fun of it. But, that doesn't mean he has no rights to do it. Its his rights, he is not drawing about someone's mother. He is attacking and making fun of what is common for everyone. This is where you evolve as a human being. If people don't question about your beliefs, what you consider as a holy thing, you are stagnated, getting stuck with religious beliefs, no matter how ridiculous it sounds like. If I find something stupid about Islam, of course I will question it and make fun of it. If you want to question my religious beliefs, go ahead. No one is stopping you. The reason why many people make fun of Islam is not because of hatred, but they genuinely find few things atrocious. For example slavery, beheading etc.. No matter how much you argue about slavery, its still a wrong thing and I will never ever accept Islam because of it.
