I am a Muslim, and I have always struggled with these question.

Why has God created this world.God has no need for this world to exists? Why are we here.Are we in some kind of a reality show where people who find the right religion end up in heaven.

2) Why has God made it so hard to find the right religion. There are a few thousand religions in the world , if one has to go to heaven he must find Islam and become a Muslim.Why is that.Why can't just one do good deeds and end up in heaven.

3) If God doesn't need our prayers need why is converting from Islam to some other religion punishable by death?

I may not be able to get you the satisfaction you are looking for, and I may not be help at all, but I will try to answer you as much truth as it could be.
1- We are not in a reality show, and yes he don't need us. But thing about it.. Is it you or me that could think for him? And if you read more about Islam, you will learn too many things, Like God's creation for man man kind was not something coming from nowhere.. He gave us the life to worship Him, to do right and to be tested.. Maybe the answer to that question lay with you, not on the internet.

2- God did not make it hard to find the right religion, and he didn't make a thousand religions around,, NO, It's all been one religion from the start until now.. God loves us and he didn't make it hard for us to believe in him and do right, which is the main reason behind any faith.. And my friend.. Again, you need to read, " Islam is not a new religion, and it's not a religion by any means.. The word is Arabic, and it means the one that submits his will, and self to God.. Even in the old time, Jews and Christians were called Muslims.. The first one to use the word was Father Abraham. He called the believers Muslims, and he was following the faith of Noah and Adam.. and no one said you or any one is going to hill by being anything else but Muslim, the thing is, you need to be a BELIEVER and not some one that have a name of faith. To believe, is having a believe.. Same and one.

3- God do not need your prayers, but you need him and that is why you pray... and your information is wrong.. If you have no faith and you changed your faith, the Islamic believe DO NOT , primite your death.. They call you ( MURTAD ) which means after you found the truth, you turned your back to it.. No one will harm you as a religion matter, but maybe some countries have their own ways of doing things, and that is not Islam.
Islamic teachings believe in all religions, and they call them the people of the book, so don't mix things up.. I advice you to read more.

1) God create this world for us, for our sake, Humans to have the chance to go to heaven by obeying him and warshipping him

2) There were many constitutions by God before Islam, each was restricted to certain people or areas, Islam is the last one that copies everything before it, it is not hard to find it and the proof is everywhere just like yourself, you know about Islam right! However it is hard to leave what you are following because of eager that is the hard part

3) First of all we need the prayers as it takes us to heaven, if you choose to become none muslim you are free to choose that and your information about punished by death is wrong.

Let me ask you a question and please answer it without trying to run away

1) how many you have seen converting from Islam to other religions? Specifically from scholars or Shiekhs? Probably non right but how many you have seen or heard converting to islam from all other religions? Can you tell us why

2) christians pray once a week, only once and most of their prayer is singing and talking (easy to do) and churches are being converted to mosques because of no enough people while muslims have 5 prays a day that is 35 prays a week and mosques are full! Can you tell us why?

Allah says in His Quran He did not create all of this for any foolish purpose. Allah Says:

And I did not Create the jinn and humans except they should worship Me.[Noble Quran 51:56]

He created us for the purpose of worshiping Him, Alone and without any partners.

And He it is Who has created the heavens and the earth in six Days and His Throne was on the water, that He might try you, which of you is the best in deeds. But if you were to say to them: "You shall indeed be raised up after death," those who disbelieve would be sure to say, "This is nothing but obvious magic." [Noble Quran 11:7]

Allah has created all we call the universe as a test for us. This is not our final destination. What we might consider to be "bad" or "good" could actually be quite the opposite.

Blessed is He in Whose Hand is the dominion, and He has the Ability to do all things.
(He's the One) Who has created death and life, so He may test you which of you is best in deed. And He is the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving;
(He's the One) Who has created the seven heavens one above another, you can see no fault in the creations of the Most Beneficent. Then look again: "Can you see any rifts?"
Then look again and yet again, your sight will return to you in a state of humiliation and worn out. [Noble Quran 67:1-4]

The Quran tells us about the nature of mankind and how quickly we forget the many wonderful blessings provided to us daily. Allah describes our attitude clearly in His Quran:

And when some hurt touches man, he cries to his Lord (Allah Alone), turning to Him in repentance, but when He bestows a favor upon him from Himself, he forgets that for which he cried for before, and he sets up rivals to Allah, in order to mislead others from His Path. Say: "Take pleasure in your disbelief for a while: surely, you are (one) of the dwellers of the Fire!"[Noble Quran 39:8]

We forget, as we were created to forget. And this is a part of our test. Will we only use a selective memory and overlook what we owe to our Creator and Sustainer? Or will we be appreciative even when we are suffering some hardship or setback in this life?

As for mankind, whenever his Lord tests him giving him honor and gifts, he says (bragging): "My Lord honors me."
But whenever He tests him by withholding his livelihood, he says: "My Lord has disgraced me!"[Noble Quran 89:15-16]

Then Allah makes clear to us the real reasoning behind all that is taking place:

Nay! But (it is because) you do not treat orphans with kindness and generosity.
And you do not encourage feeding of the poor!
And you devour inheritance with greed,
And you love wealth with abounding love! [Noble Quran 89:17-20]

Allah has created us and given us so much, yet we are so careless concerning His Right to be worshipped exclusively and deny the Day of Judgment wherein we will all be asked concerning His Generosity.

O man! What has made you careless concerning your Lord, the Most Generous?
Who created you, fashioned you perfectly, and gave you due proportion;
In whatever form He willed, He put you together.
Nay! But you deny the Recompense (reward for good deeds and punishment for evil deeds). [Noble Quran 82:6-9]

And how will we view our condition and surroundings? And how will we treat others around us? Are we considerate of others and are we quick to blame or quick to forgive? All of these things are a part of our test, the things we will be asked about on the Day of Judgment.

God Allah - Does It Mean God?
Is there evidence God Exists? What proof is there? Where is God? What is the Origin of God? Does God have limitations? Why did God create everything? Did God create evil too? Does God know future? Why so many religions? Can we prove Quran is from God? Why does Quran say, "We & He"? God of the Jews and Christians? Will all of us be treated equally?

Hmorrar..
Dear friend... To many wrong information there is, and I just like you to know that allot of Christians pray 7 times a day and every day, Fast and they do about every thing you think it's just a Muslim's work.. Your information is wrong, and I would like to ask you why is it we keep trying to claim other's to be wrong? I don't disagree that we all God's work, but I also did read the Qura'an and I know that it actually acknowledge Christianity to be a part of your believe, so let's try not to point finger , and if you have some one did, I will ask you not to respond, because most of us did read and know allot about your believes and we don't think you are a bad people... Our Christianity made us understand and see things we couldn't see before... our way is the way we Choose to take, and you choose yours.. I also can use the Qura'an to respond, and can use the Bible to do so...
We are not in a battle, and we will never be... We respect your believes and ask you before you claim what we do and what we don't do, to read and learn about us... Christianity in the Qura'an...
Surely, those who Believe( Muslims) and those who are Jews, Curran and Sabians, whoever believes in God ( Allah ) and the last day and performs good deeds- will be rewarded by their God, and they will have nothing to fear or to grieve.

Friend, my information is not wrong, we party all the time also but I refer to the formal pray equal to going to church on Sunday's, we have prayers which is a must, 5 times a day and for men must be in the mosque and we have other prayers that can be anytime including asking and hoping from God, so we go to mosque every day 5 times and you go to church once a week or more, whatever.

We don't believe in christianity to correct your info, we believe in NASRANI religion which is the true religion of prophet Issa that does not exist, we believe in the true bible that only existed when Issa was there.

Am sure you don't know all the bible just like most don't you only read the initial parts and discard the old testment,
How can God choose prophets who commit sins and adultry? He didn't know that they will do that?
Why you make fun of muslim Hijab while the bible mentions it in many places? And your nuns wear it in the church?
How can a prophet have a fight with God and break his bones?
How can a prophet kill someone because he slept with his wife?
Why your God who you claim is three in one didn't have this very clear in many verses in the bible so no one can doubt it?
Why there is no clear verse saying "I am God, we are three, me and Jesus and the spirit and you must warship me"?
Why you don't have one version of the book if God promised to preserve it as you claim?
Why God didn't have another son if he loved sons and had one who died or could not save him?
Why you follow what the priests say when there is no verse in the bible to support it? Are they Gods as well? Please show me where is the christmas tree in the bible? Where is Santa Clause in the bible? Where does it show what you are supposed to say when you get married? Or what you supposed to do when you have a son?

Back to the main topics as am sure you have many questions to ask about Islam but how can you explain why are you seeing thousands converting everyday everwhere?

Don't misquote The Quran.
What does it mean by Believe in Allah?
I ask u a Q.
Do jews & christian , or whoever Believes in Allah ?

Do u know what is the meaning of Allah

The most concise definition of Allah is given in the four verses of Surah Ikhlas which is Chapter 112 of the Qur’an:

"Say: He is Allah, the One and Only. "Allah, the Eternal, Absolute. "He begets not, nor is He begotten. And there is none like unto Him." [Al-Qur’an 112:1-4]

"The Muslims prefer calling the Supreme Creator, Allah, instead of by the English word ‘God’. The Arabic word, ‘Allah’, is pure and unique, unlike the English word ‘God’, which can be played around with.

If you add ‘s’ to the word God, it becomes ‘Gods’, that is the plural of God. Allah is one and singular, there is no plural of Allah. If you add ‘dess’ to the word God, it becomes ‘Goddess’ that is a female God. There is nothing like male Allah or female Allah. Allah has no gender. If you add the word ‘father’ to ‘God’ it becomes ‘God-father’. God-father means someone who is a guardian. There is no word like ‘Allah-Abba’ or ‘Allah-father’. If you add the word ‘mother’ to ‘God’, it becomes ‘God-mother’. There is nothing like ‘Allah-Ammi’, or ‘Allah-mother’ in Islam. Allah is a unique word. If you prefix tin before the word God, it becomes tin-God i.e. fake God. Allah is a unique word, which does not conjure up any mental picture nor can it be played around with. Therefore the Muslims prefer using the Arabic word ‘Allah’ for the Almighty. Sometimes, however, while speaking to the non-Muslims we may have to use the inappropriate word God, for Allah. Since the intended audience of this article is general in nature, consisting of both Muslims as well as non-Muslims, I have used the word God instead of Allah in several places in this article.

Allah says in the Quran Muhammed(pbuh) is the last & final Messenger of Allah.
Do u believe?

Wrong again, it seems you have no knowledge at all if this subject so I will try to enlighten you

Allah is the name of the only one God, it is a noun that is not derived from any other word in Arabic

Al Rabb, is similar meaning to the owner of something in Arabic it is referred to as "Al Rabb". So Rabb Al Mal (Mal is money) so it is the money owner, or Rabb Al Bayt (Bayt is a house) means owner of the house. And Allah is Rabb of everything and all beings so he worths warshipping only him

Also there is Al Elah, Elah is God meaning a being worth for washipping, this is why old people used to have the God of Sun or God of stars and so on. So The Elah which is similar to God who is the creator

So the singularity for Al Elohoieh (Godness) is admitting there is one creator, and singularity of Al Robobyeh is devoting warshipping to only one God.

And of course prophet Mohammad PBUH is the final messenger and prophet of God, yet you didn't answer my question and keep on running away, di you know someone close who became a muslim recently?

MR hmorrar , I am answering to Samdarwen1
OK

This word (elah) can be made plural (gods), as in "aleha" and it can be male or female just as the word in English can be "goddess."

"Allah" comes from "elaha" but it brings more clarification and understanding.

Allah = Has no gender (not male and not female)
"He" is used only out of respect and dignity - not for gender
Allah = Always singular - Never plural
"We" is used only as the "Royal WE" just as in English for royalty
Allah = Means "The Only One to be Worshipped"
