In response to VB, you said that 120000+++ prophets were sent all over the world to spread Islam...is Buddha included as a prophet? He had lived prior to your prophet's time, but he didn't spread Islam. Hinduism is the same. How can you say that? Also, Jesus, whom is also a prophet, is following Judaism and not Islam. I'm confused. How can you tell that they were sent to spread Islam when the fact doesn't show it?
And why would God needs to challenge our faith, when he can create a perfect being out of us, who knows everything about him?
The reason is because God wants us to use our reasoning...the very gift that he gave us. that's why he gave us freewill. He created us as a naive individual, and used our reasoning to learn our way. You don't need a book to learn what is right and wrong. You need to use your reasoning. In disciplining a child, do you read a verse out of the book and tell them they'll go to hell if they hurt their playmate? You can tell him directly what was wrong about what he did, and he'll learn from it. that's one step. I don't think God will judge us because of our Religion. God will judge us based on our actions. If he will only use the religion as a basis of salvation, how can you call him JUST? How can you call him Merciful? How can you call him Fair and doesn't give favors to few?
It's not because things are difficult that we don't dare, it's because we don't dare that makes things difficult!
