OHHHHHHHHH my God girl you dont know that.it should be in the quran to.do u think he does not know our hearts

I know that Allah calls for us to act on His Intent, for we are His Caliphs on earth. It's not about your hearts, it's about your acts. We are not to hold what we believe like a secret inside, but make it known in the actions we take.

Islam doesnt place God in the role of "father" to His "children". God in Islam doesn't have a son, either, but there are plenty of other things we have in common with our ahl al kitab brethren.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE talking about God!

I'm curious about what Islam teaches about humility and pride?

[Sofiyya 1,687]

What it teaches about humility and pride can be divided into the general and the situational. Do you have a scenario you are especially curious about?

I'm just more curious about in general. How would Islam describe being a humble person or a prideful person?

I don't believe what I want. I believe in the Divine Message as related by the Prophets of God. It's no big deal to me if someone refers to God as "father"; it's just not a doctrine of the scripture I follow.

Well, first of all, Islam means submission to the Will of God. As Muslims, we are to suppress our baser urges and accept that there is a Will greater than our own that has the power to guide us to God. Islam is also the "Middle Way", neither extreme nor complacent. We are to strive to acchieve moderation in all things, but also to maintain the law for an orderly society. Islam is evolutionary rather than revolutionary. It is accepted that there is more than one path to Him, and that not everyone will be in the same path at the same places. As such, diversity of thought is allowed, but not in a way that distracts from one's service to God and His Creation. When that happens, we are following desire, not God.

A religion is only as perfect as the humans interpreting it. And how many of us are perfect?

Jesus said, "He who hath not sinned throw the first stone." And no one did, not even Jesus.

(That actually does not apply here and is taken out of context).

Yes so what's the point of religion then? It is inevitable that we will get it wrong. (this is serious not sarcastic)

In general? All religions answer the same questions: Who we are, where we are going, where have we been, and what should we do.
