    Just another elaborate dodge, try actually answering a question once in awhile.

    Here are the questions again if you wish to answer them:
    Now as I understand it ALLAH is the Arabic word for God, so isn't saying Allah is God just saying God is God?
    In the Bible God has a proper name "Jehovah" does Islam have something similar or is ALLAH considered to be the proper name of God?

    and if you die young ? let go the 'inherited sin' thing man ..WE are responsible for our own actions,

    what does the Quran say ?
    Al-Ghafir
    It is He Who has created you from dust, then from a sperm-drop, then from a leech-like clot; then does He get you out (into the light) as a child: then lets you (grow and) reach your age of full strength; then lets you become old― though of you there are some who die before;― and lets you reach a Term appointed: in order that ye may learn wisdom. (67)

    No you did not. Here is what you said:
    To here you are talking about "Jehovah" and the "Tetragrammaton" and seeing as I asked no question about "Jehovah" or the "Tetragrammaton" that would mean that it doesn't answer any of the questions I asked.

    As for this part:
    How does it answer the questions:
    Now as I understand it ALLAH is the Arabic word for God, so isn't saying Allah is God just saying God is God?
    In the Bible God has a proper name "Jehovah" does Islam have something similar or is ALLAH considered to be the proper name of God?

    Where I ask about what ALLAH means and if it is the proper name of God and if not what does Islam say about the proper name of god. Seeing as your comment says nothing at all about ALLAH, what it means or whether it is the proper name of God or not, that would hardly make it am answer to those questions.

    Hey, anybody home?
    Is this the Islam forum?
    Why do you keep talking about the Bible?
    How about sticking to what Islam says?
    How just answering the question?
    What does Islam say about why we grow old and die?
    Does Islam say God created us to grow old and die or is there some other reason that we grow old and die?

    What do Muslims think about Jesus?

    Muslims respect and revere Jesus, and await his Second Coming. They consider him one of the greatest of God's messengers to mankind. A Muslim never refers to him simply as 'Jesus', but always adds the phrase 'upon him be peace'. The Quran confirms his virgin birth (a chapter of the Quran is entitled 'Mary'), and Mary is considered the purest woman in all creation. The Quran describes the Annunciation as follows:
    'Behold!' the Angel said, 'God has chosen you, and purified you, and chosen you above the women of all nations. O Mary, God gives you good news of a word from Him, whose name shall be the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, honored in this world and the Hereafter, and one of those brought near to God. He shall speak to the people from his cradle and in maturity, and shall be of the righteous.'
    She said: 'O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man has touched me?' He said: 'Even so; God creates what He will. When He decrees a thing, He says to it, "Be!" and it is.' (Quran, 3:42-7)
    Jesus was born miraculously through the same power which had brought Adam into being without a father:
    Truly, the likeness of Jesus with God is as the likeness of Adam. He created him of dust, and then said to him, 'Be!' and he was. (Quran, 3:59)
    During his prophetic mission Jesus performed many miracles. The Quran tells us that he said:
    I have come to you with a sign from your Lord: I make for you out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it and it becomes a bird by God's leave. And I heal the blind, and the lepers and I raise the dead by God's leave. (Quran, 3:49)
    Neither Muhammad nor Jesus came to change the basic doctrine of the belief in One God, brought by earlier prophets, but to confirm and renew it. In the Quran Jesus is reported as saying that he came:
    To attest the law which was before me. And to make lawful to you part of what was forbidden you; I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, so fear God and obey Me. (Quran, 3:5O)

    Please tell me how this is anything but a personal attack.

    Please show me how this is has anything to do with the OP.

    Please show me how this is anything but trolling.

    And since I have not quoted one Scripture in this thread, how I'm "spamming grossly misinterpreted Bible verses" in this thread.

    Who is God?

    Allah, is the all-powerful and all knowing Creator, Sustainer, Ordainer, and Judge of the universe. he is nothing like what you think

    "Allah is nearer to a person than his jugular vein. (Sura 50:16)"

    "He is the First and the Last, the Evident and the Hidden: and He has full knowledge of all things". (Sura 57:3 )

    "Allah! There is no god but He - the Living, The Self-subsisting, Eternal. No slumber can seize Him Nor Sleep. His are all things In the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede In His presence except As he permitteth? He knoweth What (appeareth to His creatures As) Before or After or Behind them. Nor shall they compass Aught of his knowledge Except as He willeth. His throne doth extend Over the heavens And on earth, and He feeleth No fatigue in guarding And preserving them, For He is the Most High. The Supreme (in glory)." [Sura 2: 255]



    " For, with Him are the keys to the things that are beyond the reach of a created being's perception: none knows them but He. And He knows all that is on land and in the sea; and not a leaf falls but He knows it; and neither is there a grain in the earth's deep darkness, nor anything: living or dead, but is recorded in [His] clear decree."[Sura 6:59]





    Oneness of God is the act of believing and affirming that God (Arabic: Allah) is one and unique. The Qur'an asserts the existence of a single and absolute truth that transcends the world; a unique and indivisible being who is independent of the entire creation.

    (Sura 112:1) "Say: He is Allah, the One and Only;
    (Sura 112:2) Allah, the Eternal, Absolute;
    (Sura 112:3) He begetteth not, nor is He begotten;
    (Sura 112:4) And there is none like unto Him."






    Does God have a proper name?

    supreme name of God, Allāh
    you can call god by anyname but as long it doesnt create picture in ur mind because he is nothing like we imagine or think


    The Qur'an refers to the attributes of God as God's “most beautiful names” (7:180, 17:110, 20:8, 59:24). "They are traditionally enumerated as 99 in number to which is added as the highest name (al-ism al-aʿẓam), the supreme name of God, Allāh. The locus classicus for listing the divine names in the literature of qurʾānic commentary is 17:110, “Call him Allah (the God), or call him Ar-Rahman (the Gracious); whichsoever you call upon, to him belong the most beautiful names,” and also 59:22-24, which includes a cluster of more than a dozen divine epithets."

    "Nothing is like him in anyway," [Quran 42:11]



    Why do we grow old and die?

    "But [let them always remember that] if We lengthen a human being’s days, We also cause him to decline in his powers [when he grows old]: will they not, then, use their reason?" [Sura 36:68]

    I.e., man should never postpone his exercise of moral choice - for if human beings are superior creatures inasmuch as they have been endowed with the faculty of discernment and a wide measure of free will, let them also remember that "man has been created weak" (4:28) and liable to decline still further in old age, so that the time at his disposal is short

    But hast thou ever considered [this]: If We do allow them to enjoy [this life] for some years,[Sura 26:205 ]

    Allah gave us life to judge between us see who does good and who does bad

    "Every soul shall have a taste of death: And only on the Day of Judgment shall you be paid your full recompense. Only he who is saved far from the Fire and admitted to the Garden will have attained the object (of Life): For the life of this world is but goods and chattels of deception."[Sura 3:185 ]

    (Such are they from whom We shall accept the best of their deeds and pass by their ill deeds: (They shall be) among the Companions of the Garden: a promise! of truth, which was made to them (in this life).[Sura 46:16]







    Where are the dead?

    "Say: “[One day,] the angel of death who has been given charge of you will gather you, and then unto your Sustainer you will be brought back.” [Sura 32:11 ]

    Say: “[One day,] the angel of death who has been given charge of you will gather you, and then unto your Sustainer you will be brought back.” [Sura 32:11 ]


    At the time of your death you will see the Angel of Death. He will come to take your soul, how it does this depends on your character and deeds of your life. If you were good, he provides with wine, if you were bad, he will appear ugly and scary.

    After this, your soul will be released from your body. This process once again depends on your deed. If you were bad, it will last long and pain like no pain. If you were good then the pain will be less. The Quran states "Everyone must taste death"

    Once the soul has left the soul, you will be there, looking at your own body. You will see the people mourning, you will run to them asking them to help you, but no one can hear a thing. You are all alone.

    When you are put into the grave, you will follow your body in there. It is said that you have an option to go or not, but everyone goes in because they cannot stand to be seperated from their body.

    Once you are in the grave, the two angels named Nakir and Munkir . Depending on your deeds, they will apper ugly or beautiful. They will ask you 3 questions,

    "Who is your God?"
    "Who is your Prophet?"
    "what is your religion?"

    Even though these answers are clear, most people will be so terrified that they are not able to move their lips to utter the words. When you do not answer, the Angels get angry. They have metal rods in which you get hit by.

    From here onwards you recieve your punishment in the grave only if u fail to answer those 3 questiones and then you move on to Barzakh where you will live in peace until the day of Judgement . Barzakh is two, a place similar to a sort of heaven and another similar to a sort of hell. Depending on you who are you will be juedged to enter either one of them.

    After this, you will arise from your grave and the day of Judgement will begin. A time where a mother would leave her crying infant baby to save herself.





    Who is Christ Jesus?


    In the Qur'an, there are many stories about the life and teachings of Jesus Christ (called 'Isa in Arabic). The Qur'an recalls his miraculous birth, his teachings, the miracles he performed by God's permission, and his life as a respected prophet of God. The Qur'an also repeatedly reminds that Jesus was a human prophet sent by God, not part of God Himself. Below are some direct quotations from the Qur'an regarding his life and teachings of Jesus.


    "Behold! the angels said, 'Oh Mary! God gives you glad tidings of a Word from Him. His name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honour in this world and the Hereafter, and in (the company of) those nearest to God. He shall speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. He shall be (in the company) of the righteous... And God will teach him the Book and Wisdom, the Law and the Gospel'" (3:45-48).


    He Was a Prophet
    "Christ, the son of Mary, was no more than a messenger; many were the messengers that passed away before him. His mother was a woman of truth. They had both to eat their (daily) food. See how God makes His signs clear to them; yet see in what ways they are deluded away from the truth!" (5:75).

    "He [Jesus] said: 'I am indeed a servant of God. He has given me revelation and made me a prophet; He has made me blessed wheresoever I be; and He has enjoined on me prayer and charity as long as I live. He has made me kind to my mother, and not overbearing or miserable. So peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day that I shall be raised up to life (again)!' Such was Jesus the son of Mary. It is a statement of truth, about which they (vainly) dispute. It is not befitting to (the majesty of) God that He should beget a son. Glory be to Him! When He determines a matter, He only says to it, 'Be,' and it is" (19:30-35).

    He Was a Humble Servant of God
    "And behold! God will say [i.e. on the Day of Judgment]: 'Oh Jesus, the son of Mary! Did you say unto men, worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of God?' He will say: 'Glory to Thee! Never could I say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, You would indeed have known it. You know what is in my heart, though I know not what is in Yours. For You know in full all that is hidden. Never did I say to them anything except what You commanded me to say: 'Worship God, my Lord and your Lord.' And I was a witness over them while I lived among them. When You took me up, You were the Watcher over them, and You are a witness to all things'" (5:116-117).

    His Teachings
    "When Jesus came with Clear Signs, he said: 'Now I have come to you with Wisdom, and in order to make clear to you some of the (points) on which you dispute. Therefore, fear God and obey me. God, He is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him -- this is a Straight Way.' But sects from among themselves fell into disagreement. So woe to the wrongdoers, from the penalty of a Grievous Day!" (43:63-65)



    we do not judge the prophets


    Are there wicked spirits?

    yes we also have "human-angels" V.S. evil and bad ones


    If so what is the origin of Satan?

    Satan in Islam is not the same satan in the bible. The Satan of Islam was a "Jinn", created from fire as all Jinns were and still are. Angels were and still are created from light. Jinns are lower than the Angels, because Jinns are like humans; they do sin, while the Angels are perfect and Sinless. The similarity between Angels and Jinns is like the similarity between humans and animals. Created from almost the same material, but two different WORLDS.


    Anyway, satan's original name in the Noble Quran is Iblis:

    Let us look at the following Noble Verses from the Noble Quran:

    Adam was first created on Earth: "Behold, thy Lord said to the Angels: 'I will create a vicegerent on earth.'...(The Noble Quran, 2:34)"

    Iblis became Satan: "Behold! We said to the Angels, 'Bow down to Adam': they bowed down except Iblis. He was One of the Jinns, and he broke the Command of his Lord....(The Noble Quran, 18:50)"

    "It is We Who Created you and gave you shape; then We bade the Angels bow down to Adam, and they bowed down; not so Iblis; he refused to be of those who bow down. (Allah) said: 'What prevented thee from bowing down when I commanded thee? He said: 'I am better than he: Thou didst create me from fire, and him from clay. (Allah) said: 'Get thee down from this: it is not for thee to be arrogant here: get out, for thou art of the meanest (of creatures). He said: 'Give me respite till the day they are raised up. (Allah) said: 'Be thou amongst those who have respite.' He said: 'Because thou hast thrown me out of the Way, lo! I will lie in wait for them on thy Straight Way: Then will I assault them from before them and behind them, from their right and their left: Nor wilt Thou find, in most of them, gratitude (of Thy mercies).' (Allah) said: 'Get out from this, disgraced and expelled. If any of them follow thee - Hell will I fill with you all. (The Noble Quran, 11-18)"






    remember when quran says "we" its talking in royal language majesty of god




    Iblis was a Jinn who was raised and lived with the Angels. He is a powerful Jinn, and Allah Almighty loved him so much that He treated him like an Angel, until Iblis broke Allah Almighty's Commands and turned into Satan and was expelled with disgrace from the Group of the Angels and from Paradise.






    The base for thinking is their image of Satan, assuming that the Islamic Satan is the same as the Christian “monster” with horns and wings. The Islamic Satan is different and so is the Jewish one. In Christianity Satan is the Devil. But in Islam Satan can be the Devil (Iblis) or some evil person or a synonym of general evil. In Islam Iblis (Devil) is sometimes used as personification of evil but certainly not always. Islamic Satan is often a synonym of evil.


    Why Has God Permitted Wickedness Until Our Day?

    ok after devil was expelled from the paradise he asked god

    "Said [iblis]: "Grant me a respite till the Day when all shall be raised from the dead."[ Sura 7:14]

    "[Whereupon iblis] said: "Now that Thou hast thwarted me," [11] shall most certainly lie in ambush for them all along Thy straight way," [Sura 7:16 ]


    so he could make Adam and his descendants unworthy. Satan said, “Verily I will mislead them and surely I will arouse in them vain desires.” God granted him this respite as a trial for humanity. God knows what Satan knows not. It is important to note that there is no way Satan could ever “war” with God, because just like everything else, he is God’s creation. Satan exists only by God’s will; he is completely under God’s power. If God did not want Satan or his helpers to exist, they would not be able to remain in existence for even a moment. god gave him respite and god doesnt break his promise satan is free till the day of judgement

    And they say, "The fire will most certainly not touch us for more than a limited number of days." [65] Say [unto them]: "Have you received a promise from God - for God never breaks His promise - or do you attribute to God something which you cannot know?" [ Surah 2:80]

    Islam does not give Satan any share of God’s divinity. It does not attribute to him any godlike or divine qualities. Islam rejects the notion that Satan went to war with God and took a third of the hosts of Heaven with him. Satan is an avowed enemy of humanity, but he is merely a creature, absolutely dependent upon God for his very existence.

    The following is a summary of the trial of Adam and Eve in Paradise: They enjoyed perfect freedom and happiness in Paradise. God told them to eat of the fruits of the Garden with pleasure and delight as they pleased. He forbade them from approaching one tree, and warned them that if they did, they will both be of the wrongdoers. Satan came and deceived them, saying that God only forbade them from eating of that tree because it would make them immortal or they would become like the angels. They were thus deceived by Satan and ate of the tree.

    Adam and Eve felt shame. They turned to God in sincere repentance and God, The All-Forgiving, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful, forgave them. Islam clearly rejects the concept of original sin, or the notion that all humans are born sinners because of the actions of Adam. No human shall ever bear the burden of another (for God is The Just). Every human being is responsible for his or her actions and is born as a Muslim, pure and free from sin. It is important to note that Islam does not place the blame on Eve. Both Adam and Eve had free will. Both of them ate of the tree. Their sin and disobedience was a joint venture. Islam rejects the idea that women are wicked temptresses or cursed with the burden of menstruation and pain of childbirth due to the sin of Eve.

    because god told satan to bow down to adam and he refused but adam got deceived by the satan

    God removed Adam and Eve from Paradise and made them dwell on earth. God had earlier said to the angels that He was placing a new being on earth. Earth is where God, from the time of creation, in His timeless knowledge, wanted us to be.

    The concept of original sin doesn't exist in Islam as Adam and Eve were forgiven after they repented on Earth according to the Quran.


    and god said

    "O CHILDREN of adam! Whenever there come unto you apostles of your own, conveying My messages unto you, then all who are conscious of Me and live righteously - no fear need they have, and neither shall they grieve;" [ Sura 19:58 ]


    He said: "Get ye down, both of you,- all together, from the Garden, with enmity one to another: but if, as is sure, there comes to you Guidance from Me, whosoever follows My Guidance, will not lose his way, nor fall into misery.[ Surah 20:123]


    "O mankind! Be careful of your duty to your Lord Who created you from a single soul (Aadam) and from it created its mate (Eve) and from them twain hath spread abroad a multitude of men and women. Be careful of your duty toward Allah in Whom ye claim (your rights) of one another, and toward the wombs (that bare you). Lo! Allah hath been a watcher over you." [Sura 4:1]


    hope that answers ur questiones





    Islam- literally means submission to God


    Muslim- meaning "one who submits (to God)".


    A muslim cant be a muslim unless he blieves in all the Prophets



    The Five Pillars of Islam are:


    The shahadah which is the basic creed or tenet of Islam that must be recited under an oath with the following specific statement: "'ašhadu 'al-lā ilāha illā-llāhu wa 'ašhadu 'anna muħammadan rasūlu-llāh", or "I testify that there is none worthy of worship except God and I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of God." This testament is a foundation for all other beliefs and practices in Islam. Muslims must repeat the shahadah in prayer, and non-Muslims wishing to convert to Islam are required to recite the creed.
    Salah, or ritual prayer, which must be performed five times a day. Each salah is done facing towards the Kaaba in Mecca. Salah is intended to focus the mind on God, and is seen as a personal communication with him that expresses gratitude and worship. Salah is compulsory but flexibility in the specifics is allowed depending on circumstances. In many Muslim countries, reminders called Adhan (call to prayer) are broadcast publicly from local mosques at the appropriate times. The prayers are recited in the Arabic language, and consist of verses from the Qur'an.


    Sawm, or fasting during the month of Ramadan. Muslims must not eat or drink (among other things) from dawn to dusk during this month, and must be mindful of other sins. The fast is to encourage a feeling of nearness to God, and during it Muslims should express their gratitude for and dependence on him, atone for their past sins, and think of the needy. Sawm is not obligatory for several groups for whom it would constitute an undue burden. For others, flexibility is allowed depending on circumstances, but missed fasts usually must be made up quickly. Some Muslim groups do not fast during Ramadan, and instead have fasts at different times of the year.

    Zakat, or alms-giving. This is the practice of giving based on accumulated wealth, and is obligatory for all Muslims who can afford it. A fixed portion is spent to help the poor or needy, and also to assist the spread of Islam. The zakat is considered a religious obligation (as opposed to voluntary charity) that the well-off owe to the needy because their wealth is seen as a "trust from God's bounty". The Qur'an and the hadith also suggest a Muslim give even more as an act of voluntary alms-giving (sadaqah).

    The Hajj, which is the pilgrimage during the Islamic month of Dhu al-Hijjah in the city of Mecca. Every able-bodied Muslim who can afford it must make the pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in his or her lifetime. When the pilgrim is about ten kilometers from Mecca, he must dress in Ihram clothing, which consists of two white seamless sheets. Rituals of the Hajj include walking seven times around the Kaaba, touching the black stone if possible, walking or running seven times between Mount Safa and Mount Marwah, and symbolically stoning the Devil in Mina. The pilgrim, or the hajji, is honored in his or her community, although Islamic teachers say that the Hajj should be an expression of devotion to God instead of a means to gain social standing.



    Jihad means "to strive or struggle"

    Jihad, in its broadest sense, is classically defined as "exerting one's utmost power, efforts, endeavors, or ability in contending with an object of disapprobation." Depending on the object being a visible enemy, the devil, and aspects of one's own self, different categories of Jihad are defined

    THERE IS NO SIXTH PILLAR OF ISLAM SOMEONE MENTIONED THAT IN FAQ THAT JIHAD MEANS "HOLYWAR" THE WORD "HOLYWAR" DOES NOT EXIST ANYWHERE IN THE QURAN


    “if any one slew a person it would be as if he slew the whole humanity: and if any one saved a person, it would be as if he saved the whole humanity”[sura 5:32].

    Muhammad(pbuh)
    The name Muhammad means "Praiseworthy" and occurs four times in the Qur'an
    The Qur'an also refers to Muhammad as Aḥmad "more praiseworthy"
    Muhammad's famous title Al-Amin, (the trustworthy even before he became prophet because he was the most trusted in his tribes)

    Muhmmad(pbuh) was illiterate he couldnt read or write

    Muslims view him not as the creator of a new religion, but as the restorer of the original, uncorrupted monotheistic faith of Adam, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and others. he is viewed as the last and the greatest in a series of prophets because he was the last Prophet.he was orphaned at an early age and brought up under the care of his uncle Abu Talib. He later worked mostly as a merchant, as well as a shepherd, and was first married by age 25.


    Quran :Qur’an was repeatedly revealed from Allah to Muhammad verbally through the angel Jibrīl (Gabriel) Muhammad is first commanded to say :Iqra!. by the angel Gabriel The literal translation is Read!. over a period of approximately twenty-three years, beginning in 610 CE, when he was forty, and concluding in 632 CE, the year of his death. the Qur’an was memorized, recited and written down by Muhammad's companions after every revelation dictated by Muhammad. Most of Muhammad's companions, tens of thousands, learned the Qur’an by heart, repeatedly recited in front of Muhammad for his approval Muhammad approved and his companions compiled it in written form while he was alive.the Qur’an was authentically memorized completely by tens of thousands verbally;

    The first verse that was revealed to Prophet Muhammad(pbuh)

    "Read in the name of thy lord who created."


    holy books of Islam
    The Torat (of Moses peace be upon him), , the Zabur (psalms of David(peace be upon him), and the Injil (gospel of Jesuspeace be upon him)
    ) and The Quran that was revealed to Muhammad (peace be upon him)



    Hadiths oral traditions (the additional sayings of Muhammad (peace be upon him)


    ḥalāl, Halaal; means lawful or legal) is a term designating any object or an action which is permissible to use or engage in, according to Islamic law. It is the opposite of haraam. The term is used to designate food similar to KOsher


    Haraam ( Haram) is an Arabic term meaning "forbidden". In Islam it is used to refer to anything that is prohibited by the faith. Its antonym is halal.

    The religious term haraam can be applied to:
    certain behaviours, such as adultery or abuse and profane language.
    certain objects and sacrilege.
    certain foodstuffs or food ingredients, such as alcohol or pork or meat that contains blood.
    and also to foods, objects and people that would normally be halaal but which were tarnished in some or other way, for example meat slaughtered in a non-permitted way or people with certain sexual preferences.
