    Yes, making God as low as his physical creation; contradicting one of the most basic beliefs that He resembles nothing of his creation, is not a contradiction? :doubt:

    And can you please tell me the isnad (chain of narrators) for that hadith from Abu Dhar (ra) please? Very Happy

    The Hadith never said that he looks human, it just said that Allah will show himself. And don't you think that us entering Heaven (Inshallah) is a very high blessing from allow upon us?

    Also look at this verse:

    But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High;

    Well obviously we're going to go to heaven if we have good deeds Very Happy. I'm just rejecting the hadith for the spect that contradicts the Quran. And yes it does, i've clearly outlined that. Read again, you'll notice. Shoing himself is taking him to the low level of his own creation and we know there's nothing that He resembles of his creation- ever.

    And that verse doesn't contribute anything to your side- only the desire of the Most High Lord.

    And can you tell me the isnad of that hadith from Abu Dhar (ra) please?

    Ok, let me quote it as the Sura this time:

    17. But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it,-

    18. Those who spend their wealth for increase in self-purification,

    19. And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,

    20. But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High;

    How about now Smile ?

    Ill, try I am looking Wink

    Ok, before I start, i'll quote the last part of the "hadith":

    Then Allah WILL appear to them in a human form..."


    See? Wink


    Yes that's all true, although sadly that doesn't say anything about seeing God in human form or anything at all >.<

    And Jazak-Allah-Khayr, I appreciate your efforts Dance

    Ya, I know. That's exactly what I mean- learn about Islam Razz

    I'm trying side Islam and Religious Pluralism; what their correlations are and such. Hence we learn more about Islam.


    So back to the question: What do you think about Religious Pluralism?

    I don't think God wants us to be caught up with all the religious junk.

    I would have to disagree. The fundamentals of Islam require its followers to literally submit thier will to God Almighty (hence the name Muslim). Now, since this is the Islam topic (yes, I checked above, Razz ) I want to say that for a Muslim, the day to day life and religion are embodied in each other (meaning they are not seperate entities). Religion teaches a Muslim, and the followers of other religions as well, as to how live life.

    Now unfortunately, all this talk about secularism has kind of provided an excuse for people to not really follow the religion. As I am sure many Christians would agree as well, religion is limited to going to Mosques on Friday, or to church on Sunday. I believe that religion could not really be separated from one's life.

    I am not saying that God would want us to fight unfair wars in His name (cold or hot) but He wouldn't want us to isolate from the teachings of the religion either.

    If you believe yet you don't act upon that belief, then you're a hypocrite.



    What? Do you really believe that good deeds will get you into heaven?
