MAIL - 19 - Part - 5

I Wrote -

Dear Friend
>> 6. Some people born in MUSLIM family and by birth they get chance to learn the so called book that will give them heaven. Some like us are born in HINDU family and most of them for that reason are not given first option and in your words are misguided against QURAN and they will go to HELL. Funny isn't it ?? It is like some are born for heaven and other are born for hell and the latter group should first learn what they follow is wrong and then understand QURAN and then etc etc and finally will get heaven.

"
No babe is born but upon Fitra. It is his parents who make him a Jew or a Christian or a Polytheist." - prophet Mohammad

- Islam teaches that every born baby on earth is born in a state of Fitra, i.e in a State of Complete Submission to God.
- From this state, it is the parents who lead the child, to ways other than The Complete Submission to God.

So precisely,

- Each and every baby is born as a Muslim !
-
A new born is a Muslim in the exact sense of Complete Submission to God and it does not matter in which religion/community/language/country etc etc the baby is born.

Please understand this very clearly that -

- Simply being born in a Muslim family is not the end-result; it is only a slight advantage with immense responsibility.
 
This very discussion is only a little effort in discharging that responsibility.

Now, if you ask me why people are born in different religion, first of all, it is not the religion that only matters, there are many-many other things that matters.
- Some people are born as female and some are born as male. This happens before being religious. Think, what is the criteria here ?- There are people who are born in rich family and some are born in poor family. This happens before being religious. Think, what is the criteria here ?
- There are people who are born in developed countries and some are born in under-developed countries.
This happens before being religious. Think, what is the criteria here ?

What is the criteria for all these disparities or diversities ? My answer is  - It is God's decision, He only fully knows it and His decision is The Best.

- If you ask why I born as a Male instead as a Female ?
  -
My answer is  - It is God's decision, He only fully knows it and His decision is The Best.

- If you ask why I born in India instead of any other country ?
  -
My answer is  - It is God's decision, He only fully knows it and His decision is The Best.

- If you ask why I born in a Muslim family instead of any other religious family ?
  -
My answer is  - It is God's decision, He only fully knows it and His decision is The Best.

The Criteria for Salvation

Being born in to any family/community/country etc is not the criteria for getting heaven or hell.

Verily, those who believe and those who are Jews and Christians, and Sabians, whoever believes in Allah (One God) and the Last Day and does righteous good deeds shall have their reward with their Lord, on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.
Quran 2:62

Irrespective of the identity, Quran put forwards mainly three criterion for getting the salvation.

1. Believe in One God.
2. Believe in the Last Day of Judgement.
3. Do Righteous Deeds.

Here come the questions -

How one should believe in God ?
How one should believe in the Last Day ?
What is a Righteous Deed ?

- It is to teach these three things, prophets were sent to all nations.
- It is to further take forward and preserve these three things, the teachings were recorded in scriptures.

>> It is like some are born for heaven and other are born for hell
Absolutely NO. The very brief explanation above proves that. God has given you the wisdom, intellect, power of discretion etc and you need to use it.

>>and in your words are misguided against QURAN and they will go to HELL.
It is not in my words and it is not only as per Quran. It is as per the verses from the scriptures of the respective religion, I said, they are deviated from the true path of Worship of One God without any man-made objects or other intermediaries.
