We call doubting "weswas" which means having "disturbing" thoughts from Satan.
oh i see, so do you have any doubts about hinduism, or Buddhism, or Glory(Bahai'i)or Jewdaism, or Christianity?
i think having "disturbing thoughts from Satan" and "doubting" are completly different things. isn't what "weswas" really means is that you should believe without questioning?
or else you are Satanic?
that seams to be the connotation. please explain how having doubt that something is not wrong(in this case your Qur'anic or Islamic interpretations) is something bad.
all atheists and theists have doubts(much less so atheists) of their own frame of mind. the least doubt comes from an agnostic postion, more so an "ignostic" position.
unless ofcourse: the position of Islam is that doubting Islam(what ever you think that might be) is from Satan. But chrisitians say doubting Christianity is from the Devil. Buddhists that doubting Buddhism is from Mara.
but assuming "islam" is correct, clearly all non-muslims have weswas, correct?
also, the position seams to be that once you stop assuming your interpretation of Islam is correct, then you are wrong and are further from the "truth". but, dought is (in a way) simply the understanding that you lack some answers...wouldnt it actually inspire you to get more accurate answers? how would less assumptions benefit "Evil"? if you would be so kind as to explain.
Islam doesn't prevent us from thinking or questioning, but it tells us to do that with complete faith. Whenever the faith is shaken, then this is Satan's work who tries to lead us away from the truth.
with complete faith? this doesn't seam contradictory at all? complete faith would be without questioning wouldnt it? faith is when you believe and trust in something, if you have doubts than you do not have faith. is this not true?
the religion is supposed to be about submitting to God, correct? so i suppose that in complete context...the good teaching it tells you is that you should question the religion while always wanting to submit to God, correct? what sort of person doesn't do this that is already leaning towars anti-atheism?
In fact, many Islamic scholars questioned their beliefs as to learn more, that's why "Mostafa Mahmoud" (a famous Islamic thinker) said about his experience that he was "an atheist in a prayer room".
but you said in the first paragraph that doubt came from Satan. why would Satan want you to possibly learn more? what sort of level of intelligence does this malevelent being have?
doesn't the line of thinking that "question aspects of the religion of Islam, without ever questioning the truth of true Islam" simply lead one to believe what ever they wish as long as they call it Islam? isn't that dangerous? I mean, in my opinion, true submission to God requires that one accept their agnosticism and think without dogma or idols, always seeking to be inspired by God ITself. assuming that you know things about God, is not neccessarily anyway to submit to ITs will...would this mean that i am a true Muslim?
I mean, IMO God's Will seams to be agnosticism for all...that seams to be the self-evident truth of the human condition...and perhaps the condition of every living thing. by not denying my agnosticism, and always seeking truth...i am serving God's revealed will. if the story is true that our enemy made our anscestors eat the fruit "knowledge" maybe what we swallowed up was the fruit of anti-agnostic thought instead...we don't seam to have knowledge. I mean, either you have faith in Truth, or you have faith in the Qur'an. Truth cannot be wrong, the Qur'an can. is this not right?
