Hamburglar, I do question a lot of things, but I don't think I want to overdo it and become an Atheist. I believe there is a God, its just that human beings have used his existence for their own selfish pursuits thus tainting Him. If anything you should rethink your stand, most of what you judge God by is the work of man. Your favorite verses of God destroying people in rims of fire is actually written by men in their wild imaginations. The only books that were written expressly from God were the first 5 books of the old testament, the rest were written by human beings.
@Nabwire I say that all religions speak good thing. But Muslims invite the non-Muslims to Islam. Why?
Point one: I say all the religions, most of the things they say are good. But Islam beside speaking good thing, shows you a way how to achieve that goodness. I can give example that all religions say don't rob, Islam says the same, but Islam shows the way how to achieve a state people will not rob: give Zakat, give charity, after that someone robs, chop off the hand, there will be no robbery, there will be no crime.
So what I'm trying to explain is that besides Islam talks about good things, shows a way how to achieve that good thing of goodness.
Point two: If I have to say for example if I'm talking to someone who prefesses Hinduism, if that person has to follow Hindu scripture,
if that person has to be a good HIndu, the Hindu scriptures say there is one God (
you can search the Hindu scriptures and you'll see all these verses). The same scripture says don't do idol worship (Bhagavad Gita chapter 7:20) which says
"
Those whose minds are distorted by material desires surrender unto demigods and follow the particular rules and regulations of worship according to their own natures".
The person has to believe in one God.
He has to believe in Antim Rishi, whose father will be Vishnu Abdullah, mother's name shall be Amina, who will be born in the village of Sambala (Makkah), who will be born to the chief of the village of Sambala (chief of Makkah), he will be a messenger for the whole humanity. He will get enlightenment at night, in the a cave, he will go northward and come back, he will be given eight qualities. He will be a messenger for the whole of human kind, he will ride a horse, he will have a sword in the right hand, he will have 4 companions, he will be helped by the angels... and so on and on.
Who is this person?If he is a good Hindu, he has to believe in Antim Rishi otherwise he is not a good Hindu.
If he is a good Hindu, he has to believe in one god. He does not have to do idol worship. Of God, there is no image, there is no photograph, there is no sculpture.
The same applies to Bible and mention of One God, Bible and mention of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)...
It is there, very clear.
I have had dialogues with Hindus, and also Christians, many. And I have quoted this. None of them has told my brother, you're wrong. No one.
I am telling people the best book on earth of living is the Quran. I ask people, even here to join me. Join the Muslims, they are 1.5 billion members. It is an invitation.
If you are a Christian and you follow your scriptures, he should come to Islam.
So when I say all the other scriptures were previously the word of God, but the passage of time, they have been changed. The highest percentage has been lost. Whatever small percent remaining we have to follow strictly. Including the first 5 books of the Bible.
So if you follow strictly, you have to believe in Muhammad (peace be upon him). You have to believe in the Quran.
So I give you an invitation brother to come to the religion so that you come closer to Almighty God.
Quote:According to the research of Dr. Ved Prakash Upaddhayaya, Muhammad has been described in the Vedas and the Puranas in four different ways. Firstly, as Narashangsa or 'the Praised'. This has been described as the meaning of the word Muhammad. Secondly, as Antim Rishi - the Final Sage. The Qur'an also declares Muhammad as the final Messenger. Thirdly, as Kalki Avatar, i.e he will be the sage for the last period. Muhammad has surely arrived in the present Kalki period. Fourthly, Muhammad has been mentioned in the Vedas by name. Therefore, from all four points of view, it is Muhammad, who is being pointed out.
