Asked Mar 25, 2007, 02:24 AM — 34 Answers
I am muslim. But then again I'm not.

My family is muslim n they are quite religious when it comes to it. But me - I am not. I don't follow it; I do what I want. And if my family knew of this, they would be deeply upset n shocked even though they do kind of know I'm a bit urm I don't know.

So tell me this. Are you born a muslim n have to stick through it. Or do you have a choice n decide who you want to be?

2. If you would bother to read the original posters name you will see she is a she.
3. How am I spoiling her mind by telling her that the future is hers to hold and live as she likes?In one of your other posts your pissing n moaning over your brother watching and controlling you at 15, well she is 19 --
4. Where did I say there was no such thing as religion?

MrsDead the teachings of the Holy Quo'ran are that a muslem (muslim depends on where the english was taught) is a person who submits them selfs to the will of God.

Sounds like your parents followed Islam but it says in Quo'ran that Jews and Christians that submit them selfs to the will of God are also Muslim not just followers of Islam.

Hope this helps.

God gave us all a choice as to what we can do. Make your own choice. Let others make their own choice, and respect it whether you agree or not.

As Tal said, God gave us a mind to chose what we want to do. You know what's best for you. You chose religion as a guidance not a brainwash mechanism.

God will respect your decission and still love you accordingly.

You do NOT have to follow your parents blindly. But you HAVE to obey your Creator - the One who cherishes and nourishes you.

Islam is a verb and literally means submitting to the will of God in peace. This is unlike most of the major religions that are named after a person or place, e.g. Judah-Judaism, Christ-Christianity, Buddha-Buddhism, Indus Valley-Hinduism, etc. So Islam is an active verb and the one who submits is a doer of Islam or an Islamer. In Arabic there is a prefix 'mu' like the suffix 'er' in English. So a Mu-islam or Muslim is one who submits his/her will to the will of his Lord. All the Prophets sent by God to guide humanity from the time of Adam to Noah to Abraham to Moses to Jesus and Muhammad (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon them all) were muslims in the true sense because they devoted their lives to the God's mission - to take mankind from darkness to light!

God created mankind and jinn so that they may worship Him. That is our purpose of creation. There is no compulsion in religion and the choice is yours. But choose wisely or the consequences can be grave.

May Allah guide us on the right path!
