The goal of Islam

[heretic]

the goal of islam is to know who you are and why you are created?, Who you are answer is you are a servant of the god the creator, why you are created answer is "And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me"

when you know both, you will do the other you mentioned, from being praying 5 times a day, help poor, help others to find the happiness and the truth you find, and at end you will be in the paradise with the god the creator of you
it's a chain

I find such answers for the questions you asked are incomplete , why should God the ultimate being would create people, universe or anything else to be servants for him , or to worship him , is it to fill a psychological need to satisfy his pride ?

 

[heretic]

How in the world does "good works" get you any closer to God? How do you know that if your giving this one guy some money that says he needs it and may be using it for another reason, is good? And how does that affect a relationship with God himself?

a very important part of understanding God is understanding his characteristics not only in words but in interst and experience too , it's a social psychology concept , people are interseted with those who are similar to them , they like to accompany who have the same interests. when you are closer to God in his characteristics , and practice the same practices you actually getting closer to him in relationship

 

[heretic]

It is said that the first verse of the Holy Quran is a summary of the entire Quran. That being the case the goal of Islam is "Bismillah" which translates to "In the name of Allah". And in fact that is the goal of Islam.

Allah is beyond any human comprehension and we can never completely understand Him. However, we can understand those attributes of His that He has revealed to us. And then we can try to adopt those attributes and become godlike human beings. That really is the goal of Islam.

A few examples:

Attribute 2 of Allah - Ar Raheem - Ever Merciful
That is, Allah is One who rewards efforts. Who gives results for hard work. Who forgives when forgiveness is prayed for. The attribute of Raheem refers to the Allah who gives plentiful for negligible efforts by human beings.
So a human can adopt this attribute after understanding it in his/her own life.

Attribute 1 of Allah - Ar Rahmaan - The Gracious
That is, Allah is One who gives without anyone ever asking. Like the creation of the sun, water, etc. which benefit humans regardless of their religion (or lack thereof).
For a human this may be thought of as the next step after Ar Raheem. To emulate Allah's attribute of Ar Rahmaan and give in charity, help even enemies, etc.

In summary, the first verse (or rather the first half of the first verse - and both examples were from the same verse) really answers the question.

Bismillah - In the name of Allah

this is very interesting and real to me , I'd like to add that godlike human can understand God much better , and consequently much closer in his relatioship to God

I am just wondering why many people that aren't Muslim are answering about what the goal of Islam is. I generally think Muslims would know better since it is their religion, of course. I wouldn't answer a question about the goal of Christianity since I am not Christian.

 

[jamaesi]

The goal of Islam is to prepare our soul and spirit to return to G-d.

I am just wondering why many people that aren't Muslim are answering about what the goal of Islam is. I generally think Muslims would know better since it is their religion, of course. I wouldn't answer a question about the goal of Christianity since I am not Christian.

IKR. But, pshwah, what would we know about our own religion.

 

[Woodrow LI]

For our own benefit. So that we can experience His attributes and take benefit from them.

For example, everyday we benefit from the attribute of God that rewards beyond measure our negligible efforts. Or the attribute of forgiveness after we commit an error. These are attributes we humans have the honor of experiencing through are worship of God.

A very good summation. While our goal is to learn full submission, the result for doing so is our benefit.

We do know that all who die as Muslims will reach heaven. But because we have free will we are capable of leaving Islam up until the moment of death.

It is very arrogant to state we will go to heaven. That is not our purpose for serving Allaah(swt) We serve out of love without the goal of reward. Heaven is a benefit we gain nothing we earn or deserve.

 

[mahasn ebn sawresho]

What is the NUMBER ONE goal of Islam?

Eg Salvation or resurrection, entry into Paradise, to be with Allah, worship Allah, pray 5 times a day, help people in need, help people to convert, being a servant of Allah, etc.

This is just a list of brainstorming, so it might not be any of the above listed.

What do you think is the ultimate primary goal of Islam?

(IMPORTANT) I want what the Qur'an say, or your interpretation of what the Qur'an say. But more importantly, I want your opinion of what this goal might be. Please don't just quote. Quoting from the Qur'an without explanation or your personal view is not debating.

The answer to this question-important-too-.
But there are several goals to Islam-.
Declared them-
The most important objective of Islam is the absolute
It is stated in the following verse
Do God only who believed in the children of Israel
But is this true؟؟؟؟؟؟؟
Islam believes in God built Israel
He says he is not God, other
But Muslims are trying to hide this verse
To prove that Islam is not new to humanity
The children of Israel knew that the gods
So here we cannot say that the Qur'an was presented to humanitya new idea
Also, Mohammed did not discover this unit
Because the Jews in the Arabian peninsula and in Medina
Even his cousin his son Naufal was a pastor who believes in this God also
But let's look at this speech by Mohamed and his call that unites God
The fact that the Qur'an was written this in the Qur'an
But he said the contrary goes completely
The children of Israel and Christians refuse to participate in the lord ship with man
The children ofIsraelrefuse toprovidehimwithman
As of infidelity have
This is clear from Genesis
But Islam violated this
He contrasts Islam
The most important reason to me is new
It is that belief in the gods is not fully
But if the name Mohammed with God
So here the unificationis not absolute
When Muhammad with God infaith
Is there a subscription between the creator and the creature
But Muslims don't they accept recognition of this
Conditions of acceptance of Islam that says laalhh but Allah and Muhammad is the Messenger of God
Here participation in Deism
Mohammed participate sin Deism
To you if I said laalhh only God
This meansyou are nota Muslim
Faith in God alone is not enough in Islam
But we must believe that Muhammad is the Messenger of God
So here appears a contradiction
Betweenthe verses of the Qur'an
The verse says Godonly who believed in the children of srael
And says that without faith only if I say Muhammad is the Messenger of God
I hope my explanationis sufficientin the first point or first goalofIslam
I was able to provide evidence that the Islamic faith is that God is one, void also
Because there is a participation of God and Muhammad
To accept your faith
Without Muhammad Islamic faith no
Without Muhammad means that your faith Jews only
The first objective is to Islam is the belief that Muhammad is the Messenger of
Because God was known by Muhammad
And evidence a letter Muhammad
Amajor problem
Because he could not prove his power of persuasion and reasoning and proof
And the detritus of the sword and forced
Today, misin formation and deception

 

[mahasn ebn sawresho]

Second objectiveto Islamis to spreadthis religionin the whole world
And faith in God with Muhammad
Islam
This means
Islam quoted of ficials as saying Jews chosen people
And put it in the words of the new
You are the best people to
The Jews did not impose their viewon the world
Because the Jewish religion is not a missionary in nshaetha
But Islam is expansionist goal
He spread Islam by spreading the faith in Allah with Muhammad
We tarih Islam and the Qur'an
And Mohammed confirm this objective
Therefore, I can say with complete confidence
Islam is the idea of colonial and expansionary
Wrappedin aveneerof religion
And wrapped in monotheistic ideas
Misleading to humanity a thousand and four hundred years
And many Qur'anic verses confirm this
If necessary I will give many signs to prove that Islam is expansionist objective idea of colonial
The best evidence
Is the word Muhammad when he said
I've got orders from God-into fight with the people--even
Say no God but Allah and Muhammad is the Messenger of God

 

[mahasn ebn sawresho]

A very good summation. While our goal is to learn full submission, the result for doing so is our benefit.

We do know that all who die as Muslims will reach heaven. But because we have free will we are capable of leaving Islam up until the moment of death.

It is very arrogant to state we will go to heaven. That is not our purpose for serving Allaah(swt) We serve out of love without the goal of reward. Heaven is a benefit we gain nothing we earn or deserve.

You saynoGodbut Allah
The second condition is Muhammad the Messenger of Allah
Herethey contradict each otherwithQuranic versethat says
Not God, butthechildren ofIsraelbelieved in
The children ofIsraelrefuse toengagewith Godany creature
Even Christianity reject the involvement of any creature with God
Because Christianity believe that Jesus is the word of God
Here Islam aim isn't true and is misleading to the people and to the humanitarian

 

[mahasn ebn sawresho]

Even whenMuslims saynoGodbut Allah
Thesediffer innames ofthegods
The following evidence from the Qur'an
God in Islam is Foxy and traverses the verse from the Qur'an
And they plot the subtle and malicious God
And guile rather than the attributes of God in Judaism and Christianity
God in Islam and forget this verse of Quran
And copy any or we forget her we come to good ones or the like
And as such is not one of the attributes of God in Judaism and Christianity
A lot also
ThenMohammedgoes againstwhattheGodBanuIsrael
2. invite Muhammad to fight Jews
Contradictthis verse
Those who believein GodbuiltIsraeldon't fightthatgods
But Mohammed Bani Israel and fought them curses
Mohammed believed in Christ and it goes against all the teachings of Jesus
Permissiontokeepclearof Islam
Is spreading the message of Muhammad and delusion
It is this call Satanic
And because Mohammed said that verse taught Satan has
But he retracted
And the verse which refers to speech daemon
IsthesecurityMessengerwishedthe end of verse
So I say, drew
The most important goal to Muhammad to make human away from God as presented by Judaism and Christianity
Wekanma Islam specially to fight Jews and Christians

Peace be on all.
Worship Allah the Exalted such that one fulfills Allah's rights and rights of His all Creation.
It comes from the Kalima [There is none worthy of worship except Allah, Muhammad is His Messenger] written on the White Flag on your left side.

Do you live in a country governed by Islam and that speak these words
But if you live in a country ruled by moderate Islam or extreme, you will not be able to leave
Either you believe in the same God for this play on words
Idon't needtoteach mewho God is
I've got the Torah and its genesis
And where the Psalms and Isaiah
And also the full Gospel and unification
I'm not in need of Mohamed, who came from the desert and things to drink urine camels until cures amradak
I have Christ who heal the sick by his words
The big difference
Either you believe that faith is not in the interest of this is not true
Because the Muslim struggle for God
Even mermaids paradise obtains and exercises with them loads of free

I explained to my knowledge hzev Islam
But the Muslims withdrew
Because they are not they can answer the question Frank
This question is the first goal of Islam
Isaidthere is no God but God
DoMuslimsacceptmethis faith
They refuse to believe this because it is not their goal to prove that God is one
They want to be God and Muhammad
Without Muhammad no faith or Muslim religion
I wish I could be a useful explanation for Muslims

 

[Harikrish]

The goal of Islam should be to educate all Muslims so they can read the Quran. There are 800 million illiterate Muslims and many more millions that cannot read the Quran because it is written in Arabic.
Shia Muslims beat themselves during the mourning of Muharram for the people who defended Islam.

It is time all Muslims who cannot read the Quran should beat themselves with whips and knives in public to show their commitment to Islam after failing to meet even the basic requirements like reading their scriptures, because all Muslims are guilty of gross negligence.

Because there are so many million illiterate Muslims. Islamists should seek the help of infidels to identify and beat those Muslims who cannot read or do not read the Quran. This way both the Islamists and infidels can participate in a common jihad against illiterate Muslims.

 

[jeager106]

The spiritual part of Islam is about submission to Allah, but the political is about establishing a Islamic state under Shariah law.

This^^^^^. "establishing an islamic state under shariah law" by any violent means necessary. To promote fear and terror by inventing even more hideous crimes.
Teaching the young and impressionable how to properly wear a suicide belt full of plastic explosive & committ murder by suicide. To machine gun unarmed non muslims.
To teach the willing to hijack airliners and fly them into buildings.
To teach non muslims are little satans, to destroy isreal and murder ALL jews everywhere.
I could go on but I've made my point.
I've delt with muslims that were American citizens that committed high crimes with a clean conscious. They told me face to face that Sharia law is the ONLY law, that the laws of a non muslim nation mean NOTHING to an islamic.
I feared these muslims would shoot me dead. I used extreme caution when around them.

Should we take seriously what every Muslim believes when 6 out of 10 Muslims are illiterate which is about 800 million illiterate Muslims out of 1.4 billion in the world. Then there are millions more Muslims that cannot read Arabic the language the Quran is written in which means the majority of Muslims cannot even read their holy scriptures. So why should the world take all these illiterate Muslims seriously when they cannot even meet the basic educational requirements to fit into modern society and are forced to live in extreme ignorance and poverty.
Not every Muslim is a terrorist, but every terrorist turns out to be a Muslim. Are Muslims then turning their inner demons loose on the society they live in which is why their actions are so terrifying?
ISIS and Al Qaeda have killed more Muslims than infidels. Is that an indication Sharia law is working for the Muslims? Muslims are finally being brought to justice by Islamists.

I disagree with your 6 out or 10 illiteracy rate. While it is true illiteracy is unacceptably high in the Mideast and African Nations, they only have a small minority of the world's Muslims. Nearly 80% of the world's Muslims live in Asiatic Nations and have an acceptable rate of literacy.

Somewhere between 50 to 75% of the world's Muslims live in 5 Nations. Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, India and China
The literacy rates for these Nations is as follows:

Indonesia 92.8% can read and write
Pakistan has a dismally low literacy rate but even there it is 54.9% can read and write which is considerably higher literacy than 6 out of 10 illiteracy
Bangladesh 57.7% can read and write
India 62,8%
China 95.1%

We have now accounted for most of the World's Muslims and the illiteracy rate is quite a bit lower than 6 out of 10 being illiterate.
For good measure let us look ate the next Nations with the most Muslims
Malaysia 93.1% can read and write
Turkey 94.1 % can read and write
Iran 85% can read and write
Lebanon 86.9% can read and write.

It is only in Somalia where 6 out of 10 can not read and write
For my figures look HERE

It is true very few Muslims can read and write Arabic. Only a small percentage of Muslims speak Arabic. Going even further no Muslims speak Qur'anic Arabic. It is not a spoken language and is found only in the Qur'an. No one has ever been able to compose as much as one original sentence using Qur'anic Arabic. Yet it is a very easy language to learn. It has a very small vocabulary made from less than 2000 root words.

As for Sharia law only Saudi and Iran claim to be under sharia, but no one outside those nations accept their idea of Sharia as being Sharia in compliance with any of the 4 Madhabs of Islamic Jurisprudence.
