To get buff?

I mean, if you're not exercising.

Like in Christianity, if you have the faith of a mustard seed (which is presumably more faith than any man in history has ever had) you can just move a mountain or ask God for anything and get it. *beliefs may vary*

Can you do this in Islam?? If you have a certain amount of faith or if you pray really really hard can you get buff or even move a mountain?

Also, is it true Allah is a girl? I heard a rumor.

To get buff with prayer and no exercise, one would have to pray pretty hard. I mean, amazingly, astoundingly, astonishingly hard. Seems silly to get through all that prayer and still have love handles, though.

Yes, faith can move mountains, as long as said faith is accompanied by earth-moving equipment, sufficient blasting materials, and both vertical and horizontal rock crushers.

I believe the verse says 'Ask and ye shall receive', but it doesn't say what ye shall receive. My guess would be a big old box of disappointment.

Yes, it applies to Islam as well as to Christianity - the results of intense praying are exactly equal in both faiths.

Allah is, in fact, a girl. Specifically, Allah is a psychotic lesbian trying to strap-fuck the Middle East to tears.

Just let me know if it's okay.

I pray to the barbells in the Church of Iron 3 to 4 times a week, and I get buff without having to exercise at all.


The rites are a bit demanding, but it beats having to exercise.

Prayer is like free will. If god is omniscient and has predestined all future events then free will and the power of prayer is only an illusion.

So, pray as much as you need to feel good. That's about all it will do.

*smiles*

Does this have anything to do with what I said?

I think part of praying to God is accepting his design in the universe and the way she acts.

Of course, Mary (Mariam), for example, received food directly from God. We all have to get food from the market.  To say well Mariam got food from God so I'm going to just pray and wait to get food is making a mockery of God in my view.

I believe there is for example many conditions in which God will not guide people no matter how much they pray for guidance. 

Another example is the phrase in Quran, Noah telling his people, if they ask forgiveness from God, God will increase their (will) power upon their power....

We can't just say the words and hope for a response. We truly have to be sorry and ask forgiveness believing God will forgive,  then she will increase power upon our power. 

As for God being a female, see the response in the other thread.

I think you'd probably have to pray while jogging.  'God' seems seriously inept at doing much of anything by himself.

Yeah, as long as your prayer ritual is as strenuous as a workout at the gym, it's pretty likely to work.

You can pray as little or as much as you want and it won't make a difference. It's down to Allah. If Allah wants to make you strong, you do not need to pray even once.

Quran 3:26 "Say: "O Allah! Lord of Power (And Rule), Thou givest power to whom Thou pleasest, and Thou strippest off power from whom Thou pleasest: Thou enduest with honour whom Thou pleasest, and Thou bringest low whom Thou pleasest: In Thy hand is all good. Verily, over all things Thou hast power."
