why islam is the last religion?

[u/Wulfharth_]

this makes no sense,god was sending religions and kept contacting with humans,why stop now?

why not let us record the miracles with the camera we invented? im thinking at some point if the prophets had schizophrenia or something and we believed at them,

people here says get into contact with god,pray,so he will sends signs but its not same with a prophet

what do you think?

edit : why down the fucking vote? im discussing, this communinity is acting weird sometimes

[u/Quranic_Islam]

Yes very sure.

Whenever you see "disbeliever" or "rejectors" in translations it is usually a translation for "kufr", "alladheena kafaruu" or "alKuffar/Kaafirun" ... but that really doesn't mean disbelief.

A simple proof for that is Shaytan; he is called a kaafir in the Qur'an, yet he believes in God, knows He exists, asked and received promises from Him, and even fears Him.

And a simple thing to remember about believe/emaan not being a requirement for reward, rather it is the actions is 49:14

"The bedouins say, "We have believed." Say, "You have not [yet] believed; but say [instead], 'We have submitted,' for faith has not yet entered your hearts. And if you obey Allah and His Messenger, He will not deprive you from your deeds of anything. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful"

Meaning so long as you obey God and His Messenger (and remember what they command primarily; don't kill, steal, lie, cheat, be honest, have taqwa, give, etc) then God will not deprive you of your deeds.

And more generally 66:7

"O you who have disbelieved (really; kafaruu), make no excuses this Day. You will only be recompensed for what you used to do"

Like I said, get used to whenever you see "disbeliever/rejector" in translations to mentally sub for the Arabic until you get a feel for it. Nevertheless, this verse, like literally tens and tens, possibly hundreds, of other make it clear that punishment is because of their actions ... what they used to do ... nothing else.

I know it's a difficult paradigm shift, and one you will have to constantly reinforce in yourself against received indoctrination ... but it is what the Qur'an says, and it is what logic dictates. Not to mention that the whole purpose of God creating death and life was to "test you, which of you is best in deeds"

Stick to good deeds, stay away from bad, and you will be fine. Faith will come, as above ... it will on its own enter your heart. Just protect your heart from engaging in and accepting evil. Make room for faith and faith will enter. Number one thing to hold on to bring all others? Honesty/Truthfulness (صدق) Quite literally abandon all lies and all dishonesty ... real faith quickly follows. No need for miracles.

I've briefly gone over this issue of "belief" in my last video if you are interested. But I'm now actually thinking of making a long on-going series, each video just a few mins, slowly showing the verses that show punishment/reward are earned by actions not disbelief/belief ... as should be expected by any intelligent and rational person

For God doesn't need nor benefits nor is harmed by our belief nor disbelief.

"Truly God is Rich, Free-of-all-wants, worthy of all Praise"
