question2
Is the milk of those milk rivers in heaven cow’s milk? How many cows does it take for Allah to produce all that milk?

Farhan
Only Allah knows whose milk is there in heaven.& Allah just says BE,,& the thing comes into existence. Allah does not need Cows to produce so much milk..He is GOD,,He can do anything, what he wishes.

Venu
Allah cannot do everything. Can He create Himself?

Saima
Not Everything is to be done by God.There are some duties to be done by us too.God's job ends, when he creates us or give life to us, Then when we get life & get conscious, then our job starts, that how to live our life, according to Will of Allah..If Everything is to be done by God ,then why create us in the first place?

Venu
Circumcision is unnatural, except in some medical circumstances.

мσιη
natural or not is a different issue.Circumcission for men is a sunnah of the Prophets.

question4
Why did Allah order us to have beards? Didn't he know Chinese can't grow a beard?

Farhan
Allah did not ordered us to have beard,,,To have beard,,is Sunnah of our Prophet Muhammad.Its not ordered by Allah in Quran to have beard.

Venu
Nobody needs to "grow" beard. It grows by itself. We can only interfere with its growth.

question5
Why should we pray? Doesn't Allah already know what we want him to do for us? Do we have to SAY our demands in order for him to take action?

Farhan
We pray bcoz He is GOD, ONLY HE deserves worship, no other thing or false God does.& We worship for own self,,not to give any benefit to Allah.Also, in case of Dua, Allah asks us to Pray,,bcoz Allah want us to be close to him,,Allah want us to Love Him.So that we can be more & more God conscious & have more fear of Allah & Understand our God in better way.

Venu
We pray due to our sense of lack. But our sense of lack does not end with prayers. Prayers only confirm we have a lack which we want God to remedy. In truth, we are all perfect. Discovering this truth is what religion is all about. Anything else that goes by the name of religion only imprisons us with our sense of lack.

question6
Many of the people who were so close to Muhammad didn't believe him like Abu Sufyan and Abu Taleb. Why is that?

Farhan
It was their Ego & Pride.Bcoz they thought that they are better & he is wrong,,just bcoz of their ego.

Venu
Everyone has the right to exercise their freedom to believe or not to believe.

I cannot commit crimes/sins in the name of freedom.Shirk is the biggest sin/crime

Venu
Not to believe something is not a crime or sin. Not accepting the truth or reality may end in a tragedy but a belief is just that - believing. It may or may not be the truth or reality.

question7
If Allah wants apostates to be executed, why doesn't he do it himself? Does He need our help in fulfilling his desires?

Farhan
ALLAH does not have DESIRES, Like we have. Allah is not dependent on any material desire.& There is no apostasy in Islam..Only thing is that if a person spreads blasphemy against Islam & Spread hatered for islam, after leaving islam, Then The Governmnet has right to kill him, otherwise,,If a person leaves Islam & then do not spread haatred for it,but respects it,,Then he does not deserves death or any punishment..Remember,,,Allah says in Quran that There is not Compulsion in religion.

Venu
Spreading hatred against any religion, not just Islam, should be considered a social crime.

question8
If the Quran was written by God, why does it fail to convince the whole world that it's really written by God? For example, the theory of gravity is convincing enough that everyone believes in it!

"Dr.Shanu"
Do ur parents always convince u...

~FoRGoT~
if islam is studied sincerely, everyone would surely believe in it..

Venu
The theory of gravity etc. is in the realm of science, which is the study of the external world, the world of objects. The world of objects is discernable by our senses and hence a proposition about it can either be factual or erroneous. The subject of God pertains to our inner world - to us, the subject. Thus, statements about our inner world would remain in the realm of belief till we have personal experience of the truth of such statements to declare them as truth. Till we personally experience them, statements about God would neither be factual or erroneous - they remain as beliefs. A successful religion (or teaching about God) is that which can move people from being mere believers to being experiencers of the truth proclaimed by the religion.

question9
If Hijab is good for the society, how come no secular or non-Muslim sociologists or psychologists have affirmed this fact?

Farhan
^^^^^
Do u think sociologists & psychologists should tell you, that what is good & what is bad for you?Do they define standard of following life? or its Islam?.I m also a psychologist, & also a Muslim & I believe that Hijab helps to build the best society.

Venu
Do you think Islam is the only source for learning what is good and what is bad?
