    The idea of hell is emotionally draining.

    Can you elaborate a bit on what you mean by this?

    Question to christians and muslims

    I believe my religion to be the best way to God, whilst also recognising the validity of certain other ways to God (the path of anyone who believes in One God, the Day of Judgment, and does righteous good deeds).

    If Jesus returned to this world, how would you know it was Jesus?

    Oh, absolutely! I quite agree!

    If Jesus returned to this world, how would you know it was Jesus?

    I'd recommend having a crack at reading the Qur'an sometime :). We have what the Qur'an says about Jesus (pbuh). I do!

    Can God/Allah be described with words?

    'In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. All the praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of all that exists. The Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. The Only Owner of the Day of Recompense.' (Qur'an 1:1-4) 'Say: He is Allah, One. Allah-us-Samad (the Self-Sufficient...

    And you are entitled to believe what you want too :).

    The idea of hell is emotionally draining.

    I believe Allah time and again in the Qur'an warns the disbelievers of His Wrath and punishment in Hell for their disbelief but Allah also time and again reminds us of His Mercy and if we take also His Statements that His Mercy embraces all things and His Mercy will prevail over His Wrath, the...

    The idea of hell is emotionally draining.

    Then how can one say it embraces all things? You are effectively saying it embraces all things except disbelievers..

    The idea of hell is emotionally draining.

    Then His Mercy is not greater than His Wrath..

    If Jesus returned to this world, how would you know it was Jesus?

    Allah says He brought us forth (with a soul and physical body) the first time, and will restore us - a restoration is to the form we previously had, that of a soul and physical body. Who said that a physical body has to be by definition mortal? Allah is Perfectly Capable of creating a physical...

    Was the Qur'an created or is it uncreated? - Muslims only

    I honestly believe that there can be two (or more) Muslims who approach the Qur'an in all sincerity, with the fear (and love) of Allah in their hearts, and yet come away with differing interpretations even in the things which they feel are clear and easy to understand (and therefore find it...

    The idea of hell is emotionally draining.

    Whilst I fear God's Wrath, which is indeed Severe, I still believe that His Mercy is Greater than His Wrath and will prevail in the end.

    If Jesus returned to this world, how would you know it was Jesus?

    So in Islam, human life comprises a soul and a physical body (15:28-29). In the above verses, Allah gives the example of someone who questions how will it be possible to be brought back to life when we have been reduced to bones and fragments. Allah's response is that whatever we have been...

    Why would a god select only the few?

    Since I believe in the Hellfire, I think we'll have to agree to disagree on this one!

    Was the Qur'an created or is it uncreated? - Muslims only

    Ah, but which are the ones who are following their desires and which are the ones following the correct interpretation? That is ultimately for Allah to decide.

    If Jesus returned to this world, how would you know it was Jesus?

    Here's a selection: 17:49-52; 19:66-68; 75:1-4; 79:10-12; 81:1-14; 86:5-9.

    Was the Qur'an created or is it uncreated? - Muslims only

    Which brings us back to whether you feel this is an example of one of the unclear things in the Qur'an - if you feel this is a clear thing in the Qur'an, with your interpretation/understanding, and another feels this is also a clear thing in the Qur'an, but with a different...

    The idea of hell is emotionally draining.

    Hmm. Since the disbelievers will most keenly feel God's Wrath, it seems to me that God's Statement that His Mercy will prevail over His Wrath might also extend to the disbelievers eventually.

    Was the Qur'an created or is it uncreated? - Muslims only

    One interpretation may be clear to you, another interpretation may be clear to another, and so we have disagreement and disputes.
