Disbelievers Can Not Become Muslims!

[umm Zachariah]

Assalamu aleikum,


With the risk of repeating - will also have a go!


Like sister Muslimah says, if we have in mind that when this life is gone by, there will be two places to stay in, Paradise or Hell. If we focus on that, then we have to do something during this life, if we are interested in staying in Paradise.


That means we have to take RESPONSIBILITY for HOW we live this life. If we were not GIVEN this responsibility by Allah, SWT, then what would be the purpose of Paradise or Hell? So He has given us this responsibility/possibility to carefully take care of our actions and doings, here and now.


BUT since Allah, SWT is All-Knowing He already KNOWS what choices we will make and where we will end up. HE knows that, but He gives us the freedom along the way to take ourselves there.


But to say that He KNOW is not the same as to say that it is HE that tells us what we shall do in every move we do. We have to do these mistakes or right choices ourselves. But still He KNOWS what we will do.


He, since He is the All-Knowing, He knows our fate, and it is we ourselves that takes us there.


"My Lord knoweth (every) word (spoken) in the heavens and on earth: He is the One that heareth and knoweth (all things)."
The Qur'an 21:4


Wasalam
