"Allah chooses whether to guide you"? Does that mean Allah can choose not to guide you? Why would Allah choose not to want to have all people in Jannah by guiding some and not others? Quran 22:16 says this (and there are several similar Iyah in the Quran): "Thus have We sent down Clear Signs; and verily Allah doth guide whom He will!"
So it's clear that I will only know of the truth if Allah wants to guide me to it. How do I know that Allah is not misleading me right now? Would Allah lie to me? I am not part of the Ummah after all, and never have been. If Allah wanted to guide me, I wouldn't need you to convince me Sheed1980 because Allah will guide me and encourage me to recite Shahada.
