(04-06-2025, 09:10 AM)Ali Imran Wrote: But you can also extrapolate from the other countries that are listed. The trend is worldwide; the majority of Muslims don't leave the faith. Yes, there are cases, especially western youngsters who were born Muslims but were never raised as one, or they are rebellious, influenced by other western youth. Many will return to the faith when they reach middle age.
The thing I'd like to know is the reason why they want to drop Islam. I've not heard a single valid intellectual argument why they leave Islam. At best, I get disbelief arguments, like they don't believe the Prophet was miraculously transported to Jerusalem. Many are using emotional arguments, like they dislike the harsh Hudud law, or a man can marry 4, stuff like that. But a valid intellectual argument, never.
In short, Islam is a religion that imposes restrictions that can limit an individual's personal development.

The question I'm asking is simple. I believe the true God is only 1 person. How am I wrong on that point of my faith? LKSM cannot tell me how I am wrong on that point. Can you? Using the great commission as your argument to say I'm wrong is easily dismissed. The great commission is not about who is the true God.
You believe the true God is 3 persons. I say you're wrong, and I can tell you why you're wrong, using the words of Jesus in John 17:3 as my argument.

No, my faith is unwavering....it's completely solid. Don't mess around; reliability can be tested, but faith cannot. see how you will involve the devil into your games....didnt know you would partner yourself with the devil

At the time of Jesus, the correct believe is to believe the true God is only 1 person and Jesus is the messenger of God.
At our time, the correct believe is to believe the true God is only 1 person and Muhammad is the messenger of God.
Please don't be arrogant to think you know better than a few billion Muslims worldwide.

Again, I am not questioning how strong is your "highly likely" faith. We are talking about a method the devil may use on you because you let him in.

Don pretend you know christianity and the Bible...
Jesus makes many claims that he is divine...don be blind or act dumb not to acknowledge it...
I'm not arrogant but you are naive if you think you know our scriptures...like I said we could care less what you said...you have the info of jesus from the bible because your Quran is inadequate...if everything is so poorly lacking in your Quran ..don act like a tyrant and tell us how to read...

I was a Muslim youngster. I was a grandchild of my grandfather. You can ask me.
I am a good application programmer. I have received an award for writing an application that solves a huge problem. I am successful in my career.
I have successfully raised 6 children, all are assets to the nation of Singapore.
So tell me, how did Islam limit my personal development?

Yes, you are arrogant. A few days ago, you labeled the Muslims worldwide as kafir, arrogantly.
I know some Christianity. I don't know all. So I will always refer to Christian scholars to explain to me.
And my simple question, why is it wrong to believe the true God is 1 person, remains unanswered.

If you believe a man looking like your God can come into your dreams, you have opened the door for the devil to come into your dreams looking like your God.

Are you referring to Muhammad's dream where he saw Gód as a man? Is he speaking to the devil? Muhammad believes in dreams and visions ..yet you want to disbelieve him...I doubt that you are a moslem..

Just sharing 1 experience lah!

No .I said the moslems that I know! I never say world wide .you clearly misread and put words into my mouth..
Why can't you just have a body without your spirit and soul? You answer me!

You said the Muslims who don't believe the Quran verses the same way as your way are kafirs. That means all the Muslims. We don't believe we have a dilemma but you insist we have a dilemma. So all Muslims must now follow your interpretation of the Quran and Hadith. If we don't we are kafirs according to you. That's arrogance.

So, in conclusion, you have opened the door for the devil to come in and make you believe what he wants you to believe.
No, we Muslims don't need dreams to believe in God. We believe in God with our eyes open, not shut.

If you see Jesus in your dreams and in that dream, Jesus tells you something that contradicts what he said in the red-letter Gospels, would you say that is Jesus or the devil impersonating Jesus? For example, Jesus said to love your neighbours in the Gospel. Then you dream Jesus comes to you, telling you to hate your neighbours. Is that Jesus or the devil?
