Dont live your life with HATE in your heart for anyone,
You will end up hurting yourself more than the people you HATE
Dear Brothers.
There is no God but ALLAH and Muhammad pbuh is the last and final messenger of ALLAH. ALLAH guides the one who is HONEST in knowing the TRUTH.
The Prophets of ALLAH are many but 25 Prophets are mentioned in QURAN by name.The best of them are 5
Prophet Noah,
Prophet Abraham,
Prophet Moses,
Prophet Jesus and
Prophet Muhammad - Peace be upon them all.
Mankind needs Guidance from their teachings... They all conveyed that ALLAH is the creator of all that exists (human beings, animals, plants, earth, universe and all that is in between them) and we all should WORSHIP him alone without associating partners.
Everyone is born as a Muslim but their parents take them to worship different man made objects as Gods... which is a Sin. (Until U research on it, You will never understand the consequences on worshiping others beside the True God)
Come to the TRUTH... and use your intellect to know the reality with LOGIC And REASON ---- QURAN invites YOU to use this logic and REASON & compare it with Bible, vedas and other scriptures... PLease TRY to read QURAN (TheQuranproject online)without being bias.
These people are jealous that they cannot attract/convert anybody from other community.....Islam is the best religion....one Allah....one prophet...thank Allah--- am a muslim....
these people can sell ramayana and mahabharatha nobody will come to object
These goons are afraid of people finding truth .and leaving the baseless religion....
