One must not associate partners with God. God is self-sufficient and does not need to beget a son.<br /><br />(2) The Koran is clearer than the New Testmanet and more humane the Old Testament. You can read it yourself if you don't believe me. I recommend the Penguin N J Dawood translation. <br /><br />(3) Those who believe in God and do good works, they shall not fear nor shall they grieve. <br /><br />http://www.answering-islam.org/Quran/Contra/reward.html<br /><br />has a selection of verses on this theme with a commentary.Claire Khawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11557436240917008429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-440967410082699790.post-92036824644728364622009-06-25T00:33:22.273+01:002009-06-25T00:33:22.273+01:00Sorry, I was being a bit stupid before: I see what...Sorry, I was being a bit stupid before: I see what you were getting out now. i.e. its not enough to just give people a spiritual code, you need to give them legal, economical and political codes too, as those are the codes which have the most impact on daily life.<br /><br />(my other questions still stand though! :o) )Darrenhttp://cooltoolsformen.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-440967410082699790.post-19509836408991896532009-06-25T00:22:18.661+01:002009-06-25T00:22:18.661+01:00Thank you for answering my question. I'm still...Thank you for answering my question. I'm still not fully clear though, I'm affraid! I agree that our political leadership is always and probably will always be flawed. But I suppose the other reason why we don't have a 'heaven on Earth' is that Human nature is just so flawed. Or at least a sizable quantity of people are!<br /><br />I probably have way too many questions and don't want to monopolise your time, but here are a few of my more pressing ones: <br /><br />(1) Does Islam address why it doesn't believe in the trinity? <br /><br />(2) If its working from the same basic morals as Christianity, in what ways is its advice clearer on how to live?<br /><br />(3) Is its conception of suffering purely related to us suffering in this life or does it posit a 'hell' afterlife for non-believers?<br /><br />Many thanks<br />DarrenDarrenhttp://cooltoolsformen.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
