Greetings to all, happy Thanksgiving, and salaam alaykum to all the Ummah on here. It's been about eight months since I first posted on here, originally I was questioning whether I was Muslim while going through an extraordinary intense period of time. Up until recently I knew very little about...

Qur'an only Muslims would technically not be called 'Muslims', especially since the dominant sect is Sunni which inherently follows the 'sunnah', or ways, of the Prophet. You basically get into theological disputes with arguments about whether the Qur'an was created or eternal, whether parts are...

Haven't been on in a while as I've been extremely busy with graduate school and studying the Quran, tafsir, sirah, and hadith in my "free" time. I became Muslim (alhamdulillah) a few months ago and had some posts about it during the process- it was a stressful period. The dust settled and...

Surah 16. An-Nahl, Ayah 93 If Allah wanted, He could have made you all one nation, but He lets go astray whom He wants and guides whom He pleases: but most certainly you will be questioned about all your actions.

Is this for real? How did you hear about it?

Masha'Allah!

This is the first Christian I have heard admit this :clap:

Thank you, I will call collect when I find the nearest payphone. Good advice! :doh:

I have some background in theology and this has certainly aided my study of religion. I guess Unitarian was a bad description, by that, I simply meant I did not believe in the trinity. I did not know there was a dedicated religion named Unitarian.

See I could do this except for the fact that I view Jesus PBUH and Mohammed SAW both as prophets of God. So that would necessarily make me a Muslim- is this correct? I don't think a person can be Christian and accept Mohammed SAW as a prophet? (at least without being in complete denial)

This is exactly what I was thinking. It's so funny you don't see the same level of vile hate spewing from the mouths of Muslims about Christians or Jews on the other boards. I get the feeling that Muslims would equate derogatory remarks about prior prophets a little blasphemous. Why is it that...

I guess the only thing I meant by unitarian would be that I do not believe in a plurality of God. That is all. I have no idea what a unitarian universalist believes, nor do I really feel that is right for me.

I agree

My friends are the bible-thumping, "PRAISE JESUS", type of Christians. I am an anti-dogmatists and despise what has been done in the "name of God". Allah in Islam is a personal God, very much so. I will guess you have little experience with the Quran? If so I suggest you research what Islam is...
