In the Name of God - Father Son Holy Spirit.
May the peace of Christ be with you, Abdul!
Quote:I'd like to say to You F HCharity That It is true that Muslims differ on the these issue, Yet the truth is one I'd like to discuss with you regarding another issue in the best manner using wisdom free from ill-manners using that Intellect which Allah has given Us with the hope that you and I can come to an agreement to some issues which cover God, Who and How he is to be worshiped weather or not This God is in need of intermediaries, and latter I would like to introduce you to an Historical document writen some years ago. keep in mind I wont make this a personal issue nor will I bager you into becoming a muslim. My hope is to show you the truth of Islam and you'll come to be a muslim all on your own from study. First lets acualize and focus our attention on the statement In the Qur'an where Allah is addressing a group of people: <b>And they (Jews, christians and pagans) say: Allâh has begotten a son (children or offspring). Glory be to Him (Exalted be He above all that they associate with Him). Nay, to Him belongs all that is in the heavens and on earth, and all surrender with obedience (in worship) to Him. (Al-Baqarah 2:116) </b> If posible could we have our discussion in the appropriate setting maybe the belief forum or even you may choose which room.
Count me in! I'm all for interfaith dialogue - it's much needed! I just hope you won't be too disappointed in the end when you realize that I have no desire whatsoever of professing the shahadad - now or ever. Insh a Allah we can remain friends.
Please feel free to start a topic of your choice but before you do, check out these threads because a lot of what you have in mind has been discussed previously. Where were you a few months ago, man? :lol:

I look forward to hearing from you soon :)
As for Qadaa/Qadar, I'm more confused now than ever :confused_smile: Who controls destiny - us or Allah? The 'Levels of Qadr' link you provided suggests it's Allah, but then what role does freewill play in the overall game? Why can't I understand this? :banghead:
Thanks & God bless.
