God is not always loving.Is that the description of your loving Allah?
By looking at His character.How do we know that Bahaollah did not lie?
Hello,
I am interested in finding out why Muslims believe Islam is the right religion, and discussing these points.
Alternatively, non-Muslims who have an idea as to why Muslims have this belief.
There are almost 2 billion Muslims, so there must be a reason they believe, however I have searched many different places and can’t find a reason I can accept.
Any reasons welcome, but especially if anyone has reasons which are more uncommon, as I have looked at the more common ones already.
This is coming from a Christian standpoint.
Thank you.
What can we say about his character? He termed all people, all his relatives, who opposed him as "covenant breakers", and removed them from the Bahai community. You can compare him with Vlad Putin or any other dictator.By looking at His character.
If they were covenant breakers they deserved to be ousted and they needed to be ousted.What can we say about his character? He termed all people, all his relatives, who opposed him as "covenant breakers", and removed them from the Bahai community. You can compare him with Vlad Putin or any other dictator.
And they still blow their trumpet and claim authority on something the existence of which has not been established. A bit funny and also unfortunate.
Is that the description of your loving Allah? How do we know that Bahaollah did not lie?It is a bit more complicated than Quantum Mechanics. Would you be able to understand it?
Dang! You know so much about these people! Wow! I've had 0 interest in them so never would have been able to commit to studying them even for a fraction of what you were able to put yourself through! How did you do so and manage? I find myself unable or very unwilling to force myself to read practically anything I have no interest in whatsoever. I can read tons about things I'm interested in but when reading stuff I have no interest in, it feels tedious, fruitless. Now what gives me the impression when reading something I am interested in, is an extra thought "I can use this in some way maybe, I'll be able to use this thing for my imagination, writing, practice", and not everything is equal for how it stimulates or interests me. I feel that you or other people may be functioning differently? Like how could someone possibly invest so much time and effort into studying something they have no interest in? Just because of the one guy from Israel? Or what motivated it? I'd be motivated by girls, to master something in order to extract them from it, though it might be hard. Like, I doubt girls could sufficiently motivate me to learm computer programming, even if they were working topless all together at their computers. I'd probably just be the creepy janitor peering over my mythology book while on break checking out their breasts resting on their station keyboards. Its a desperate state, but my laziness and finding the easiest way to get "just enough" leads to my settling for things. I can't imagine what would be able to motivate me to pursue something I have no interest in at all, if not a maiden, if not an immediate threat or necessity somehow, if having nothing to do with my survival or increases comfort, if the group has nothing I need or want and I don't even regularly interact or find them, and the words have nothing of interest to me, how could I dedicate so much time to something which isn't pleasurable? Like putting myself through hell.
Well Trailblazer is free to follow any belief, it`s a choice but what I am saying is the Bahai Faith often projects itself to Muslims as a sect of Islam. They do this primarily by taking advantage of the fact that the origins of the Faith lie in Iran and that its founders have Muslim sounding names. The colonial-backed group twists information to deviate Muslims on the issue of finality of the prophet hood of Prophet Mohammed peace be upon him.
The study of the origin of any religion is important to any seeker of the truth for its helps us to establish veracity of its claims and that of its founders. And I did my homework to find out that the history of the Bahai Faith and that of its leaders is laced with deception, lies and dishonesty. It is a dark history that the Bahais are ashamed of and hence wish to hide from it or turn their face the other way when one reminds them of it.
And also I want everyone to keep in mind that the Bahai Faith has absolutely nothing to do with Islam. It is not a sect of Islam. In fact, it is condemned by all sects of Islam due to their disbelief on the issue of the finality of the prophet hood of the Holy Prophet peace be upon him.
But to answer your question clearly the bahai movement are following a misguided cult based on lies.
And you and your Bahaollah have evidence since you have returned from death! Don't take atheists to be fools to believe in what garbage these prophets / sons / messengers / manifestations / mahdis talk or write without showing an iota of evidence.
The Crimson Ark of the Baha'
Baha'u'llah kept most of what He knew about the afterlife under his hat.
All the prophecies for the return of Christ and the coming of the Messiah, OT and NT.
Those prophecies and how they were fulfilled are in this book: William Sears, Thief in the Night
I am quite certain they also fulfilled the prophecies of all the other religions since they all await a Messiah, but I am not familiar with those prophecies.
Nobody can establish that as a fact.
I do not consider that a valid argument for a last Prophet. First, there is no way to know if or when the world will end, but there is no reason to think it will be any time soon. All Baha'u'llah said is that as long as humans exist, God will send Prophets to reveal teachings and transmit the Grace of God, as I said in a previous post. Obviously, if the earth ceased to exist, there would be no more humans in need of Prophets.
Oh wow, so what the heck is this thing I'm dealing with? Maybe a monster!I have no idea.
God resides on His Throne of Glory in the spiritual world, but I do not know what that means, other than that God is out of our reach.
Good, if anyone knows nothing, then the person can always claim that he/she is not telling everything because it would frighten others (and this is a favor to the questioners). People employ various strategies to hide their ignorance or to propagate their lies.
I have read these apocalypse and horror-genre books and seen the films in my childhood. I know better now and you cannot frighten me with this balderdash.
As if there is any truth in prophecies of scriptures and their fulfillment. The whole edifice is built on untruth.People have different beliefs. I would neither believe that Jesus was son / messenger / prophet of God, nor Mohammad nor Bahaollah. You first have to establish the existence of God / Allah.

and the German people are now called by the party and especially the Fuehrer to a real Christianity ... the Fuehrer is the herald of a new revelation".
The question was simple brother. Is there an after life? Because you were quoting some verses of the Quran as it a fairy-tale of the after life, so I just wanted to know you opinion on the subject of the after life only
A lot of people who are not Muslims or Jews are or were circunsized, especially in the United states during certain periods. What does that mean about their beliefs? When they look down at their genitals, does it say "Shalom Aleichom"?Let's face it,it's not even a choice,most followers are born into it and some religions you must be cicumcised as as baby which is a physical reminder for life,no choice.
A child has no choice,kind of monkey see monkey do too,you become what you surround yourself with so indoctrination is easy,for at least one religion there is no leave option,well not without repercussions.

As I said, I have not read the Qur'an, so I do not know what it says, but I do know there are prophecies for the coming of the Mahdi:The Qur'an makes no mention of a savior or the term "Messiah" to mean more than the appointed and annointed (like for Jesus as the Prophet sent to the B'Nei Israel, the Jews even called Cyrus Messiah, so Cosmic All-Savior of Humanity Forever seemed to develop later from piled up exaggerations), thank goodness.
The Qur'an has no intercessors or saviors generally or at all between Allah and each individual, what is between them is the conduct sent forth by the person, their intentions, not even the results of their actions necessarily, just their intentions and justifications and reasonings for their conduct, their "hearts".
