What I Believe.


I believe He is Merciful.

I believe that He will have his own ways to punish the ones among us who ignored his teachings and commands. I believe that if He wants to, the punishment can come down upon us in this world, and not after death.

I believe in human's rights. Which encompasses men, women, transgender, children, heterosexuals, bisexuals, homosexuals, asexuals and so on. I believe that we have the right to live our life the way we want to, provided we do not put harm on others.

I believe that being a certain orientation does not give me a golden ticket to heaven. Nor does being another orientation means a ticket to hell. I believe where we'll end up is decided by so many other factors. Remember the tale of the prostitute who ended up to heaven because she decided to give a thirsty dog some water? Who would have guesed.

Hudud, is a subject that brings out a lot in people.

Some get all holier-than-thou. Some feel vindictive. Some ignores it. And some, feel conflicted and ridiculed by the holier than thou ones.

Apparently, when your opinion is less favourable you'll get called a heretic.

Is it wrong to think that instead of stoning gay people to death, we should be understanding and fair? We can deal with it in two ways. Either we let them be, for He is the rightful one to punish them, not us. Or we can be understanding, acceptable and not tell them that the fire of hell is waiting for them. After all, you get more flies with honey than vinegar, right?

He is Merciful.
He is Fair.
He is Forgiving.

I believe.

I couldn't agree more... it is not for us to judge others... it is for us to love them. Heavenly Father is the one to judge as he knows what is in someones heart :)

Very well written Hanis... have a great day :)

This is true, and I think that he has instilled a homosexual desire in some of us, perhaps as a test, and we should help people overcome that test rather than condemn them. Really like this :)
