Right, so is this one of those cases where it's believed that there's many paths to heaven? Even if you believe in the wrong god your entire life?
Quote: Can I set completely absolutes on to who God will allow into heaven? No. God knows the heart of every individual. If there is an atheist who knows nothing of Islam and has a lived a extremely moral and virtuous life will he able to go to heaven? Who knows because if you think about God in a matter of pure philosophy, the Creator put the creation on this planet to worship Him.
Why would worship be more important than living a good moral life? That's what you're saying, that what God considers most important (and thus worthy of the reward of heaven) is worship and *not* living a good moral life. This line of thought brings out the classic horrid scenarios where we could have a murdering rapist confess that Allah is the one true god, and thus he goes to heaven, but a perfectly moral atheist goes to hell for never partaking in an amoral action; worshipping God.
Is this logical to you?
Quote:The concept of God in Islam is truly the pure essence of philosophy of God. Everything else is against the purest Philosophy of God. In Christianity, God has limits. Jesus has to eat, sleep, poop. God knows no slumber. He has no needs.
Does the Qu'ran say God is all powerful, all knowing and all loving?
If you believe in God and you are truly a good, sincere person then you will go to heaven. If you're a hypocrite, just a bad person even if you are a Muslim you will not go to heaven.
There are Muslims who pray 5 times a day but are horrible people. They are not going to heaven if they are truly evil people. such as al qaeda and taliban. Worship is different from believing in God. I don't pray 5 times a day but I do believe He. What you said about a murdering rapist going to heaven is not within Islam. That's within baptism who believe in faith only. That is against Islam.
There are 99 names of Allah within the Quran. You can see the full list if you google it, I'm showing you a few.
There are actually more than 99 that are hidden from us. Because philosophically we don't know everything about God. You see what I'm saying?
Al- Muqtadir ( The Powerful )
Al- Basir ( The All-Seeing)
Al- Alim ( The All Knowing )
Al- Mutakabbir ( Supreme in Greatness, The Majestic )
Ar- Rahim ( The Merciful )
Ar Rahman ( The Most Compassionate )
AL WADUD ( THE LOVING ONE )
I truly get a feeling I can't explain when I read His names, and when I say them. There's no religion in comparison.
God is the Greatest and He has no limits. Jesus was His messenger.
