as salam alykom brother
I prefer not to busy myself with people like the original poster, but if u r interested, he probably appeared because u declared your faith here.
Ok now can we like go step by step with things that are bothering u, about the hadeeth, although I didnt read Umm link, but this hadeeth is tackled on a thread on this site. I am a woman but I will explain it again. The hadeeth is a kind of a warning. Women usually tend to simply forget good moments with their husbands over the siltest mistake they go saying I never experienced any good with u. That is what the hadeeth is talking about. It is a warning, I simply have to always remember this hadeeth when I face difficutly with my husband if I dont want to fall short.
I am afraid dear brother I didnt quite get your issue with our being here. Do u mean evolution. I think if u read through the thread u commended on non Muslims (Joshua's thread) it is tackled there if not let me know.
I understand your thirsty for knowledge. And ok I will not tell u slow down. I also understand and was expecting u will face difficulties of course. U think satan will leave u alone when he lost one of his party and seriously eager to gain back. As a revert freind told me, once u believe u sign a contract of war with satan. Keep this in mind.
Now feeling the power of Allah is blessing brother, of course Allah Can allow us to feel this without any incarnate or physical manifestation. Only Known to Him how we feel it.
Brother, pls dont hesitate to bring your points Insh a Allah we are here to help ourselves and u. We will be unrealistic if we think that u can swallow everything at once. No way, this is knowledge that requires development. Ok ok I will not say slow down, I will say take it easy
But a sincere advice from a sister who cares much, focus on prayer, this will help much, listen to Quran even if u dont understand (good to have a long term plan of studying arabic but use translation for now). Make dua (ask Allah to help u much and guide u and arrange the best for u). I am making this dua for u always.
<b>and the question of how we came to exist can be answered out side of gods word..
</b>
If I understood u correctly, u mean how we came to life?? without quoting Quran.
As u know we take Quran as our source of knowledge. Allah Told us how He Created mankind from Adam.
IF this is what u mean let me know
Brother rest assured that Allah the Creator, the Only True Deity Worthy to worship, the One True Allah Shall never abandon u.
