    Ismaili's

    I agree with maro here, in order to understand sects, it is better to first understand and read extensively about the pure islam first because that is the standard you measure everything else by. As far as sects are concerned, each tends to justify itself as the righteous one and unless we know...

    Ismaili's

    As it happens I know quite a bit about them, and know quite a few of them personally too. However I'll share more on them after ramadan, if you allow me.

    A western Islam?

    Would also like to add, that sometimes we really under estimate the strength of our eeman inside as well. And that under-estimation, most of the times holds us back from things that we don't see ourselves doing in the future. It is encouraged to read the stories of the companions of the Prophet...

    A western Islam?

    Perhaps mistaken only a very lil bit, but not entirely I think :) You are right where you speak from and I wont deny that ,given the kind of life style most of us privileged people live, and the ways we have gotten used to, giving them up entirely is what seems difficult for us and at times we...

    A western Islam?

    Ofcorse you cant. But informing them of the consequences of their choices is a parent's job. If your family follows the christian faith, it is also not allowed to drink and eat pork according to the old testament, I guess many christians wont agree with this but thats another issue. Perhaps...

    Muslims and Evolution

    Yeah it doesn't cancel God, but it also doesn't explain well why then God would describe how He created the Human being in the Quraan from the very basic detail, which were never found untill recently( how the embryo is formed and how it develops, there were no ultra sound scans at that point)...

    the right religion

    And about misery, the only misery I can think of is feeling miserable. I meet many many disabled and poor people who have a more optimistic, happier view on life than any otherwise normal appearing person. If you ask them, even they feel miserable only when somebody tries to make them feel...

    the right religion

    Thats how you think, but from what I understand about creation through our books, tells a completely different story. The creation Man, was created For the Heavens originally,in perfection, without having to pass any tests, he was gifted with free will, even then. It was MAN himself who...

    Cheating on someone you're in a dating relationship with?

    For war, it is the intent that counts, and the intent is controlled by those who make the offense, sometimes it would be to free the people of a certain land from in-justices( the heads of whom refuse letting go of perpetrating injustices otherwise), and most of the times it would be to...

    I just don't know....

    cant blame you, science belivers tend to loose out on intelligence once too often, they're too focused on glorifying the reason behind their egocentrism :rolleyes:

    the right religion

    In my religion, yes they do get a free pass to heaven, not only them but all those who are born in compromised situations, poverty or disability, will be the first ones to go to heaven, free from all their dis-abilities, in full perfection, and with an eternally happy ever-after life, with lots...

    I just don't know....

    sorry but this has to be one of the most dumbest videos I've ever seen, very self illustrious of scientific studipity, If this is what science hangs by for its justification. Its like if someone is denying intelligent design, they must be called stupid, but since we acknowledge intelligent...

    Will Allah Punish a Good Hindu?

    Allah and god are not interchangeable, 'cause the word god has an entirely different etymology than the word Allah. E.g, god can be gods and goddesses, whereas Allah is an essentially singular word which can never have a plural, or have any gender, it is a specific word which is only used for a...

    Will Allah Punish a Good Hindu?

    Just a side note: In the Ancient gospels , the word used for the now christian God, in hebrew was also Allah. And in ancient torah scriptures, in hebrew the word Illahim was referred to as god( illahim has the same roots as the word Allah) Allah in the Jewish Bible

    Free Will and Fate

    Its like i made this really yummy glass of fresh lemonade with mint leaves, I was quite thirsty( I prepared it with a lot of keen interest, free will and choice lol) and I then placed it on the table and went to another room to get something, and when I came back, my brother just pushed the...

    Cheating on someone you're in a dating relationship with?

    Your moral standards can only go beyond the normal standards, when you seek what is beyond them, some seek a close relationship with God, some seek spirituality, and spirituality has a dark and a light side. When the light side of spirituality isn't being sought, you are just about quite free to...

    Lets talk about the war on poverty

    Exactly my thoughts. Some of the poor people are the most intelligent and quick learners, its always a wonder how they never it make it so far, and neither do i see anyone even facilitating them a bit ahead, because if they are facilitated, not only will they replace the rich/arrogant and the...

    Free Will and Fate

    This was best described by one of the companions of the prophet Muhammad, Calipha hazrat Ali ( may Allah be pleased with him) He was asked by a man " how much is my free will and how much is my fate?" He asked the man who was standing, to raise one of his legs from the ground. He did so. Ali...
