ALLAH says in QURAN : O mankind! Worship you Lord (ALLAH) who created YOU and those were before YOU, so that you may become Al muttaqun (Pious).
When ALLAH says he is your LORD.. Intelligent person will try to look & learn what ALLAH says & VERIFIES what he says & if not confirmed he experiment what he Says.
BE one of this INTELLIGENT Person... U will be successful in the eyes of the one who gave LIFE & DEATH.
It is true it hurts our people.
Secondly : It is our Hindu brother's mistake, they are portraying God as men.
The God can not be like human being or any other creature.
The God is creator of everything and almighty. Then how can the God be given the picture of man.
If there is no picture, then nobody can play around with God.
God help us to understand you, your strength, your power and your guidance to all of us so that we succeed here and hereafter.
