[Kr1m3s2Gats]

can mexicans be islam or is it jus black and middle eastern

[khalifahklothing]

@Kr1m3s2Gats Islam is the true religion of God... for all of God's creation.

[Rdylan70]

Ok this is where I really get offended because you say that christianity is misleading when in acts Jesus does say that I and my father are one but anyways Islam wasn't even created until after Jesus died so that means that Islam is a man made religion and it is based on hate and revenge

[khalifahklothing]

@Rdylan70 Islam is not a religion founded by prophet Muhammad (pbuh). It is the way of life God almighty has chosen for His creation. All the prophets came with the same message, that of Islam (submitting to God's will, worshiping Him alone)... prophets and messengers such as Abraham, Jacob, Moses, Jesus...etc the last of them being Muhammad. Peace be upon them all. Watch the following video: What's Islam? Islam in Brief - Yusuf Estes

[caitlynkayla1]

No muslims well be in heaven..they deny Jesus as God..satan is their god...

[khalifahklothing]

@caitlynkayla1 So did some other god create the people before Jesus Christ (peace be upon him)?

[WintersAscension]

Mashallah! I want to be Muslim but I feel I will never memorize salat! I will continue to practice. Should I memorize fard before I say Shahadda or is it okay to read from my Iphone app while praying?

[khalifahklothing]

@WintersAscension Of course you will be able to memorize it, God willing. Say your shahada as soon as possible.

[alhilallover]

@Kr1m3s2Gats anyone can become a muslim:)

[TheOmarbm1]

may Allah help you stay sincere to him and guide you to heaven.

[aayyaa1991]

mashaAllah ! :) Allah guides whom He wills...

[alysomji]

@Kr1m3s2Gats Islam is for everyone. When I go to my mosque, I have seen whites, blacks, browns, yellows, etc. at various times. Many Latin Americans converting to Islam in America, FYI.

[MsRrosey]

@caitlynkayla1

do u believe jesus as god or son of the god?

if jesus is god how would he die?

[zaydfortawheed]

@caitlynkayla1 if you say something like that you should first do some research and then give your opinion. thats how i as a former christian became muslim.

[Hamilton111111]

only one word, nice!

[vikkiwaiting]

@Rdylan70 ...lol. Islam was the only religion God taught. Jesus was Muslim. Muslim means "To submit to the will of God"...simple...Jesus and every other prophet submitted to Gods Will so they are Muslim....

[dany111420]

Assalaam o alaikum

Awesome brother (MASHA ALLAH) .

Be Blessed by ALLAH SWT Always

[smokeybirdman]

God bless you, so happy to hear how merciful God helped your daughter. I am Christian and want to serve God as required By God. If that isnt Christianity then may God guide me to the correct way....most pleasing to God. Peace everyone
