Question for Muslims

[jesus_wept]

A Muslim told you? Very few Muslims understand the Qur'an yet alone are honest about it. Look at Islamic apologetics. Yes a Muslim CAN go to Jahannam BUT if his evil deeds outweigh the bad he will enter the hellfire for a short time. The issue though is that just like Christianity unless you accept Allah then you are technically saved even if you endure punishment for a short while.

I went to a predominantly Muslim secondary school and almost converted at one point, not because I believed in Islam or even liked it, it was mainly because I wanted to join their club and didn't want to be different. They generally didn't socialise with non-muslims, some did and one of my best friends was a muslim (I still see him occasionally, he's now married to a non-muslim, drinks alcohol and doesn't go to the mosque), and they used to play cricket at dinner time and I liked playing cricket lol.

And while we're on about very few Muslims are honest about the quran it's kind of interesting that you've changed your story from no Muslims enter hell to a few enter hell.

The translators understand Arabic but they prefer the ruling of the madahib then the literal Qur'anic narratives. THe Qur'an is translated through use of the tafsir and many exist. The issue is that they are all conflicting since the Qur'an is written in sadj prose and is in Classical Arabic which is equivalent to comparing modern English to Old English. It just makes no sense.
What you are reading is an "interpretation" of the Qur'an as many put it.

And it's amazing how many of them cannot understand Arabic whenever something embarrassing crops up. it's never the good parts they dont understand, just the bad parts... I doubt anyone has ever mistranslated "there is no compulsion in religion" for instance.
