why did they convert to ISLAM ?? why did they accept ISLAM ??

In your opinion ..why did some people convert to ISLAM..

Why did they choose to change their life…and pass all the obstacles to be MUSLIM  ....?

Say your openions frankly ..but without disrespect.. 

I don't think it's so clear that the world was "created"

yeah i know it is a criticism …..but theres two kinds of criticism the constructive criticism   and the distractive criticism …..

do you think to criticize rudely will lead you ?  or  to criticize with clear argument will lead you?

i think you will not gain any benefit  if you speak rudely to the people except  the hatred from the others…

but    some people's interests are the rude way  .....they should not force others to follow their interests…..i think you got what i wanna say…

gkisseberth...

persuade me please … 

redwana,

Please tell me how I was rude or even offered a criticism when i say that I don't think it's clear that the world was created. It's certainly as valid an opinion as your belief that it was.

Personally, I think that a very extraordinary claim such as the world, the universe being created from nothing and at the word or whim of an invisible father figure requires extraordinary evidence. I cannot accept it on mere faith. You can, and I accept that. 

I accept also, that some things are not known yet (such as the origin of the universe). I choose not to attribute those things to a divine power.

not you i ddi not mean that you r rude…i swear.  u did not talk rudely indeed..and i appreciate your believes …. and ur criticizes are welcome any time…

i just wanna know why atheist do not believe in god …. 

theres some members become rude and choose unsuitable words to argue   those people whom i refer to …....any way i speak generally   

redwana, I am sorry, I misunderstood you.

Still, I don't see any rude comments here, whether it is critical or not.

So why do I not beleive in god?  Because I have no reason, no evidence of the existence of god. I don't think a god is necessary to explain the world or give justification to acting in a moral fashion.

I think that gods were and continue to be invented by men. Invented to explain things they don't understand, to make them feel better about their place in the world, to give hope to an afterlife that may appear frightening and to influence behavior through fear.

Excuse me!!

The different religions which make us have doubt about  existance of god…

That's why im sure, u even didn't waste a lot of from ur time to learn more about  islam specialy .

I said particulary islam cz christian , catholic  and  jews … almost the same

U know  what's wrong with those unbelievier ?? they explain a lot  things spiritual ,things got no justification … they think that's stupid to follow smth they don't believe in it totaly.

Instead of inventing a new justifications to believe in god at least we observe the universe .

Could u tell me what may i lose if i became a believer?  what shall i do when im in a hard situation if i do not pray god?  what im supposed to do when i feel that im between a rock and a hard place ? .

hoda. It's not the multiple religions that make me an unbeliever in god. 

Perhaps if there was only one world religion, or if I was raised in a muslim country with devout parents I would have been brainwashed into believing. In fact, there was a time when I thought I believed. But I know I was just a child and was, in way, brainwashed.

If it makes you feel better to pray to your god when you are in a difficult situation, that's cool. I choose to rely on myself or others who can help me.

you know…....we worship the God neither because of the heaven ,nor the hell, nor his gifts ,nor his punishment, nor for seeking his help,........but ..we worship because it is the right…

the confusions come to the minds which are very full …those minds never accept to receive more ideas and informations..

you know why it is v hard to any Muslim to become an atheist..because how i believe in one God ….who i find every thing every creature ,every drop of water, confirm and admit the reality of his existence..and after that someone wanna me to disbelieve in  the most undeniable fact  which is …Allah is the creator and there is only one god"

now iam not gonna talk about heaven and hell or punishment…because in my mind those are not the factors to make someone believe or not believe…..

i just ask you only one question…...if all those creatures and universes and powers in the life not prove that there is only one God …...then what it means?  am i too naive and primitive   to think that the world created itself or by the nature of by chance …..am i too fool and closed -minded to be in that world without any meaning…even if i become the president of us …..all what i gained will be in vain after the death….??

are u still waiting the scientists to tell you how has the world  been created to believe?
