Fountaindew: I pray to one God. I do not pray to Muhammad. Why would i pray to human being and degrade myself when i know he is not my sustainer? I pray to the same God of Ram, Krishna, Buddha, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Muhammad (may peace be upon all the prophets).
Siddhi Baba once beautifully said: "Sab ka Malik Ek" and that is very true. I used to pray to human beings before knowledge came to me. There is no one who is free from making mistakes. I am no exception.

We correct our mistakes correct, so i did too.

This is what i believe now. I believe there is only one God who has no partners. When i pray i face towards Kaaba and recite Quran.I do not pray to Muhammad. I do not imagine God when i pray. I just ask His forgiveness and do not pray our loud as i know He is closer to my jugular vein. I do not worship to cow or idol. I do not prostrate to human beings. I worship to one God.

Say, This is my way, I call to God (i.e to the testification that none has the right to be worshipped except God alone, who has no partner) upon certain knowledge - I, and those who follow me. I declare God free and far removed from all that they associate as partners with Him, and I am free of those who worship anything else along with Him. <Qur'an 12:108>


---: Thank you for the reply.  The reason why i brought Linux in our discussion is actually i like Linux and inter-faith dialogues. If you go to the history of Linux, it was invented because it Linus Trovalds could not afford a computer with Unix Operating system. There is no co-relation between an operating system and the religion. I completely agree with you on that. Shabir Ally from Muslim side and Dr. William Lane Craig from the Christian side are my favorites.

Having said that, your accusation to Islam being a new version of Rigved, Akkadians civilization, Sumerian civilization and Mesopotamian civilization is not correct.
Any created thing that starts has to stop unless divine will is otherwise. Prophethood started from Adam and it had to stop by the prophethood of Muhammad. There were 124,000 prophets altogether. So your claim that there can be no such as thing called final messenger would refute in itself.
Let's look on the history of Islam and see if Islam predicted something and it did not happened. It has not happened.
I know some groups have done that and compromised the beliefs. In Islam, we never had to compromize our beliefs not we had to change our scripture.
Only Supreme being can reveal something that is free from human errors, do we agree with this?

The Millerites in the 1800s predicted the end of the world. When it didn't happen as they had predicted, they lost some members, but the faithful regrouped, tweaked their theology, and started proselytizing even stronger in order to correct the disconfirmation of their beliefs. Today we have the Seventh Day Adventist religion, going strong, as a result of that failure.

Look at the Jehovah's Witnesses. They predicted the end of the world in 1914, and when that didn't happen, they changed it to 1925. When that failure occurred, they did the same thing as the Millerites. They lost some members, but they adjusted their theology, claiming that the Second Coming had happened as they predicted, but in heaven, not on earth. They simply altered their theology . . .

The Islamic theolgy is same as it was at the time of prophet Muhammad. Muslim scholars never believed the world is flat or the prophet never prophesicized something and it did not happen. http://www.islam-guide.com/ch1-1-a.htm

On that light, i would like all you to discover Islam by going to the source Al-Qur'an.
