I am curious about islam

[Hoopington]

What is this religion about? I would like to know if anyone can answer.

Bro,if you are curious about Islam then ask an Islamic scholar who could guide you. Do you think this is the right place to explore Islam?

Anyways, what can I tell you is that Islam is a religion as well as a code of life that contains guidelines for every aspect of human life. The fundamental of these guidelines is peace, mercy, justice and forgiveness.

I think this, of all the lines spouted about this abhorrent religion, is the one that makes me want to puke. One verse, please tell me what is peaceful, merciful, just or forgiving about this:

Quran (2:191-193) - "And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out. And Al-Fitnah [disbelief] is worse than killing...
but if they desist, then lo! Allah is forgiving and merciful. And fight them until there is no more Fitnah [disbelief and worshipping of others along with Allah] and worship is for Allah alone. But if they cease, let there be no transgression except against Az-Zalimun (the polytheists, and wrong-doers, etc.)"

It is the oldest religion which started when Adam and Eve (peace be upon them) were sent to earth and completed with the last last prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Between this time, many other prophets came like Moses and Jesus (peace be upon them) and spread the message of God that was essentially the same.

Actually, of the major theistic religions, it's the youngest. Just because Mo and his chums decided to piggy back onto a bunch of stories that already existed, it doesn't make it the oldest.

A muslim believes and has faith in only one God. He or she acknowledges all the prophets from Adam to Prophet Muhammad (Peace be Upon him). We believe in the "unseen" like angles, jinns and fate. We also believe in the day of judgement when EVERY single person will be answerable to his or her actions he or she did during the life time. No only one will be accountable for other's actions. On the basis of every individuals own actions, God will separate good and evil people forever (you know very well that good and bad is living together in this world right now). Good and virtuous people will have eternal heaven while the evil and arrogant will be in eternal hell. So life here is temporary and we all have to return one day to God. This life is a test to prove who you really are and what are you worth.
Bro, I will again suggest you to seek a muslim scholar for a better understanding. Thank You.

A test eh?

How do you believe this shit?
