Islam as viewed by others.

As I am a firm believer in Islam, I would like to hear what others see in muslims and Islam.
Or if they have any misconception about Islam, I would like to hear about them.

If you know muslims personally what have you seen in them and what has changed in your view after meeting them and knowing them.


I hope to hear your views on this...

Thank you all

I think as others have said that religion is a very personal thing. Most believe in a Supreme Being" I know that I do. I wish I said thank you more often for the many times I have received help.

Honestly I really don't know much about the Islamic religion. I work with a few who are Islamic but I don't see much difference in how they live or who they are than people of any other religion. I agree with Marily, I don't think there is a right or wrong religion. The fact that you have a religion at all that is based on peace and being a better person is good enough.

And upon our deaths will we know if we have lived our lives as it should be lived,until then no one will believe another is on the right path.

But I do not agree with any of what you have stated regarding Muhammad(pbuh) and Islam.But as you already stated that you believe it as fact, I am not going to go into anymore detail in replying to you.

The following article was written by a non-muslim (this site is not really a good source for the true Islamic information as some information seems questionable,but I recommend this one article).
Mohammed The Prophet By Prof. K. S. Ramakrishna Rao


I sat in a Baptist church as a teen and listened to a preacher say all Catholics are going to hell because they worship the virgin Marry. People read something in a book written by someone of a different faith ( or no faith at all) and just assume it must be right. My father was Catholic and if this preacher had his facts right and just talked to someone who actually practiced the religion he would have found that they pray through her rather than to her. As I said before, I don't know much of anything about the Islam religion but I am sure being that you practice the religion you would know more than someone who read a few books. I hate when people do that!

I am a muslim,yes.
This does not mean I know all there is to know about my religion.

I practice to the best of my ability and leave the rest to the Almighty, He being the Most Just will judge me on my deeds good /bad.

I am still learning and I am sure that all through my lifetime until death I will be learning.
I do have access to Islamic resources and I could recommend good information links,but that does not neccessarily mean that I would know all that is there to know or enough to argue with someone who comes up with any arguements regarding Islam.

I try to help those who wish to know/understand Islam a little better than what the media protrays or what a few muslims do negatively which catches media attention.

Perhaps I worded my statement wrong or I'm misunderstanding yours. I was getting at the fact that some people try to come across as an expert on the Islamic religion because they read a few books...namely, tatortot.

Stonewilder,
I understood you meant someone, I did not want to name names nor did I want to profess to know a lot either.

There are some who may have a lot of knowledge but only with understanding will it serve any purpose.

I understand from the knowledge/experience you have and understanding it, that you have come to your own conclusions.
