[quote][red][b][font=Century Gothic] Salamz and Peace ^_^[/red][gold] thank you for replying to my post :D[/gold][red] so you're basically disagreeing with every person who has ever said: this is life is a test, including God? In Surah Mulk it says:[/red][gold] Who created death and life that He may try you to see which of you is best in deeds. [/gold][red] and in Surah Baqarah it says:[/red][gold] We will surely put you to trial by involving you in fear and hunger, loss of property, life and earnings. And give good tidings to those who remain steadfast in these trials: when a misfortune comes to them they say, "We are Allah's and we shall return to Him." Their Lord will bestow great blessings and mercy upon them; such are the people who are rightly guided.[/gold][red] i can sympathise with your decision to take some of the Qura'an metaphorically but how much of it ARE you going to take metaphorically? hopefully not all of it...?[/red][gold] and about the non Muslims being convinced by your way of looking at things...well a lot of non hindus think that reincarnation doesnt happen but that doesnt really effect the hindus belief in reincarnation, does it? so the fact that these non muslims agree with ... 'your' way of looking at things doesnt really affect what Islam says about life being a test. lets not worry about what they think just yet, we're still arguing upon the matter ourselves, remember?[/gold][red] ok so if an event not a test, its bad/good luck? or just a bad/good event? or nature's scientific experiment, aka natural phenomenon? well isnt that way of thought more depressing than thinking: God only tests those that He loves, and if I'm being tested Allah loves me?[/red][gold] and like the messengers of Allah were tested too.[/gold][red] i mean, you can say that bad things happen and that they arent neceraly tests and stuff **like a bird pooping on your head** but you can't just deny the existance of tests so bluntly.[/red][gold] and chances in real life don't exist. if its sunny one day, theres gonna be some form of rain the next or after a few days because of evaporation and condensation, not 'bad luck'.[/gold][red] o and i have a question... [/red][gold] are the Prophet's lives metaphors too? cos...they were tested, not handed bad luck... [/gold][red] .xXx. Salamz .xXx.
