The heavy day

[Sheed1980]

Alhamdulillah.(praise be to God). This is why Allah (God) tells us in the Qur'an to BELIEVE and DO RIGHTEOUS DEEDS. We have to do them together. U can't succeed in this life to have the pleasures of Paradise if u just believe in God but treat others like dirt and are tyrannical. Nor can u succeed if u are the nicest most kind loving person ever but u don't believe in God. So He tells us to do these together to be among the successful.

No such thing as an invisible sky wizard, by any name. The reason humans do good, is because we evolved to be social. Our species empathy is in our evolution, not old books of myth. You don't need a religion to do good or be good.

Well first u shouldn't look at Him as a sky wizard. He is God Almighty Allah, The Creator of all things. When He determines a matter He only says to it "Be" and it is. But u as everyone else has their God-given right to believe in Him and worship Him alone or not. But just as He says in the Qur'an in Ch 18 Al-Kahf The Cave, "For he who wants to believe let him believe, and he who wants to disbelieve let him disbelieve". What u have to understand is God doesn't tell us to worship Him alone and do good deeds because it increases His power or helps him be better as God. God doesn't need any of us. He is free of all needs worthy of all praise. When He tells us to do these things they are for our benefit only. If we obey Him and do what is right we shall have an eternal life with anything that we desire to have and an innumerable amount of times better than anything we can imagine in this life. But if we disobey Him, not repentant for our sins, or die in a state of unbelief then we receive a punishment worse than any imagination could produce and for eternity. So the decision is ours. U have to ask urself "what life do I want in the Hereafter?"
