Dear Jerrikka,

I have read passages in the Qur'an that read as you have described, that non-Muslims are excluded from heaven, and excluded from other privileges extended to believers in Isalm.

But to say that Allah is not loving, is a little bit of a stetch. In the Holy Bible, there are many instances in the Old Testament, and in the prophesys of the New Testament, including in words attested from Jesus himself, where the Judea-Christian God is quite unmerciful. In many religions, God, or, in multi-deity religions, some Gods, are not always kind.

I personally try to focus on the lessons for living from religious Scriptures.

I believe that the MOD warning was meant that we should focus on the parts of the religeon with which we can find agreement in the Support Forums . Posting a non-constructive criticism of a religion on a support forum, is less than supportive.

If you are choosing to reject Isalm, and you are looking for reasons to do so, then you are on the wrong forum. There is a Christian Debate Forum, and I believe a Middle East Debate Forum, and a Spiriuality Forum, on curezone.

Blessings

Dear Jerikka,

You can click on Debate at the top of the Forums Selection box, and then along the bottom of the box, about 2 inches down are rows of letters, and you can select the range you want.

Forums I found that may be more approprite for your ideas are:

Christianity Debate Forum
Iraq War Debate
Isalm Debate Forum

Palestinitan –Israel War Debate Forum

Apparently the Islam Debate Forum is new, as there are no posts there yet.

Blessings

Hello,
I just read your question, and had the same question.
What I found out was, that if one had no prior knowledge of Gods commandments and certain propeht of THAT time, then one would be excused in this life, and after death would they be questioned justly, (and the Mercy of God is greater than HIs Wrath.) ( hadeeth Qudsi)( recorded saying of the Almighty)

So for example at the time of any Prophet, lets say prophet David for example, if one was not hearing his message,completley lived far away from the land of that prophet and never heard any truth from the Almighty, then that person would nto be accountable in this life, but asked certain questions in the next, and based on the answers to those questions then it would be decided by God alone.

Now if anyone sees that i have made an error please correct me, if I have said the truth its from Allah ( GOd)
and if I have made a mistake its from myself and Shaitan ( satan)
May Allah forgive me
And Allah knows best.

M
