God said:
”They – infidels - ask: 'When will this Opening - Day of Judgment - come, if what you – Muhammad - say is true?' Say: 'On the Day of Opening the faith of the unbelievers will not benefit them, nor shall they be respited. 'Therefore turn away from them, and wait, they are waiting.”
Interpretation of the verses: Say to them - O Muhammad -: When the Day of Judgment comes in which your punishment, their faith will not benefit the infidels, nor will they delay repentance and revision.

God said in the Quran:
“If you fear that you cannot act justly towards the orphans, then marry such women as seem good to you; two, three, four of them. But if you fear that you cannot do justice, then one only.”
“Give women their dowries freely, but if they are pleased to offer you any of it, consume it good and smooth.”
“Let those who do not find the means to marry be abstinent until God enriches them of His bounty.”

God created man and distinguished him from animals with his mind. Therefore, man is free to be a believer or an atheist, good or bad. God rewards the believers with Paradise and has made for the unbelievers the fire of Hell

In the Jewish religion
Religious Jewish groups encourage early marriage. Marriage begins at puberty, i.e. the young man is married from the age of thirteen, and the girl from the twelfth, and they may be married before that age if they show signs of physical maturity and puberty. As for the one who reached the age of twenty and did not marry, he deserved the curse.
However, in 2013 the Israeli parliament approved raising the age of marriage to eighteen, and the decision was met with strong opposition from hard-line religious groups.
Judaism knew the system of polygamy, so that there was no limit to the number of wives, but it was open.
Divorce is permitted in the Jewish religion, and the decision is in the hands of the husband. The wife may resort to the court to pressure her husband to divorce her if the husband refuses the order.
In the Christian religion
Catholic canon law adopted Roman law, which set the minimum age for marriage at 12 years for females and 14 years for males. In 1917 the Roman Catholic Church raised the minimum age of marriage to 14 for females and 16 for males.
Christianity was in the beginning a system of polygamy. But when it combined monasticism and marriage, it allowed a man to marry only one woman, lest he fall into adultery.
Divorce is not permissible except in two cases: (adultery, and if one of the spouses is not Christian).
Hindu law which includes Hindus, Jains, Sikhs and Buddhists has set the legal age for marriage - 21 years for men and 18 years for women in India.
In the Islamic religion
According to the Sunni sect
The guardian of the young girl takes her place if he sees the interest in marrying her to a righteous man. But a man should not consummate his young wife unless she is such that she is able to have intercourse, and this varies according to different environments. Some Sunni jurists considered the ability of a girl to tolerate sexual intercourse as the criterion, not a specific age.
A judge can authorize the marriage of a minor if he or she has completed 15 years of age, in the event of the approval of his guardian.
According to the Shiite sect
The criterion is proof of legal puberty. The male is expected to reach puberty at 15 years of age, and the female at 13 years of age.
According to the Druze sect:
Puberty is 16 years for males and 15 years for females.
Islam allows polygamy, provided that it does not exceed 4 wives.
Divorce is permissible and its decision is in the hands of the husband. The wife may resort to the court to divorce her if the husband refuses.
According to medicine
The best age for a girl to marry is 28 to 32 years because fertility is at the top and declines after the age of 35 or 36

Opposition to Big Bang Theory Because of Theistic Implications
Scientists don’t always welcome new scientific theories, especially if those theories lend support to the existence of God. In fact, some scientists can be downright hostile, declaring the theories to be unscientific.
One instance in which this seemed to be the case occurred in 1938. The German physicist, Carl F. von Weizsäcker, delivered a lecture in which he presented a relatively new idea. He proposed that the universe began to exist, which implied that it had been created by God. Listening to Weizsäcker deliver his lecture was a renowned physical chemist named Walther Nernst who became quite upset. He stated that “the view that there might be an age of the universe was not science.” Nernst added that “the infinite duration of time was a basic element of all scientific thought, and to deny this would mean to betray the very foundations of science.” Weizsäcker was quite surprised to hear this and responded that there was nothing unscientific about forming a hypothesis based on evidence. But Nernst would have none of it and responded that no scientific hypothesis could contradict “the very foundations of science.”
Despite Nernst’s deep protestations, this new idea became known as the Big Bang theory and has become accepted by the vast majority of scientists.

Many people confuse the true religion with the mistakes of the clergy, whether in some churches or in some institutions and organizations that take religion as a front for political action. The pure religions are those that were clarified by the prophets and adhered to by a few people, and they are the true believers.
God will punish everyone who violated his commands and the instructions of the prophets. And whoever caused wars and killed people, whether he was an American, a Russian, an Israeli, or an Arab.

I believe in what I can see, as modified by what scientists tell me about things like black holes.
Me
Scientists know only five per cent of the universe. The remaining 95 per cent is still a mystery
Mike
Nobody can 'force' me to do anything in England, the free world I live in.
Me
If you kill someone, the law force you to go to the prison.
Mike
Nobody seems able to explain to me what 'god' really is.
Me
Logically and scientifically for everything there is creator. So there is a creator for the universe and all things in it.
Mike
Religious people often use the term 'fear the Lord'. If she is so wonderful, why would anyone 'fear' her?
Me
Meaning of fear of God
It is sensing His greatness and standing in front of Him, and that He knows the secret of the man and his public, so if the believer knows that he has angels who monitor his deeds, and that the way to escape from God is blocked, and there is no trick for him except to surrender and obey God, and he does not know when he will die, and God will hold him accountable for his deeds in this world, his thinking will turn towards gaining good and avoiding sins.
One of the prophets said: “Fear God as if you see Him, and if you do not see Him, He sees you.”
Mike
Why God not start off by finding a way to stop the war in Ukraine?
Me
God created man and taught him the good way and the way of evil.
Governments makes wars like the American Involvement in Wars in Libya, Uganda, Syria, Iraq, Yemen etc.

God created man and taught him the good way and the way of evil.
God said:
‘’We have created the human from a (sperm) drop, a mixture, testing him; We made him to hear and see. Indeed, We have guided him to the path, he is either grateful or ungrateful. Indeed, for the unbelievers We have prepared chains, fetters and a Blazing (Fire).
But the righteous shall drink of a goblet .a fountain at which the worshipers of God drink and make it gush forth abundantly.
They who keep their vows and fear a Day whose evil is spread; who give food, for the love of Him to the needy, the orphan, and the captive, (saying): 'We feed you only desirous of the Face of God; we seek of you neither recompense nor thanks, for we fear from our Lord a stern Day. '
So God will save them from the evil of that Day and has secured for them radiance and joyfulness and recompense them for their patience with a Garden, and robes of silk.

There is no conflict or contradiction between religion and science.
In general, we find those who reject science and worship religion, and those who reject religion and worship material science. Neither of them understood the true meaning of religion or the true meaning of science. The field of science is the matter, and its goal is a physical interpretation of the manifestations of the universe, the discovery of its laws and their formulation with mathematical equations, which is what has produced various inventions for mankind.
However, science, does not answer to questions that lie outside the field of matter, such as those related to the purpose of our existence. Science explains the mechanism of the body’s work and it tells us that the body after death will decompose into elements, but it will not tell us if that is the end of the soul’s journey, or if we have another presence and another life.
Science also does not provide a recipe for the relationship of the individual to society, in other words, science does not provide us with a moral philosophy. There are many questions that science cannot answer, simply because they do not fall within its field of work, and are outside the limits of its ability, and this does not diminish the value of science. On the other hand, religion does not give us mathematical equations that explain the manifestations of the material universe, or research that deals with the specifics of material knowledge and its exact facts. These researches do not fall within the domain of religion.
Rather, religion provides answers to fundamental questions related to the purpose of man’s existence, questions that have preoccupied man since inhabiting caves to this day, and he has always been concerned about them. Religion deals with the spiritual, moral and social aspects of man.
Science will not advise us to honour parents, help the poor, or remove injustice from the weak, as this does not fall within the scope of his interests. Science will tell us that the fission of the atom produces enormous energy, but it will be neutral if we use nuclear energy to sustains the earth, or in the production of a nuclear bomb that destroys the earth, then the function of science ends at the limits of theories and equations and it would not release a moral judgment. This falls within the field of religion and philosophy, which deal with the free will of man.
In the West, there was a violent conflict between science and religion, because the Christian clergy chose to stand in the face of science and suppress it, because it conflicted with their literal interpretation of sacred texts, so the Church set up the Inquisition and burned the scholars and their books, and the scholars could not win the battle until after they were liberated from the authority of the Church. In Islamic civilization, the matter was completely different, because there is no conflict between the Qur’an and the science. There are 1,300 Qur’anic verses that talk about the manifestations of the material universe, and in some verses there are even references to strange cosmic secrets that science discovered recently after unremitting efforts.
The Qur’an made for scholars a rank that distinguishes them from others, said: “Say: Are those who know alike and those who do not know?” He urged the Prophet of Islam to seek knowledge, and he said, according to what was narrated from him: “Seeking knowledge is an obligation for every Muslim man and woman.” And he said in another hadith: “Whoever follows a path in search of knowledge, God will make easy for him a path to Paradise.” He also urged us to take knowledge from other nations. The Prophet of Islam raised the status of the scholar, saying: “The superiority of the scholar over the worshiper is like my superiority over the lowest of you.” And he said in what was narrated about him: “Scholars are the inheritors of the prophets.” He concluded with his prophethood the era of revelation to inaugurate the era of science that inherited the traces of prophecy.
Therefore, it was not strange in Islamic civilization to find scholars who were famous for their understanding of religion and their knowledge of other sciences such as chemistry, mathematics or astronomy. As examples Imam Jaafar al-Sadiq, one of the first great jurists in the history of Islam, was a well-versed scholar in chemistry and wrote a book in which he collected the experience of that era, and conveyed the secrets of this science to his creative student Jaber bin Hayyan, who is considered the true founder of modern chemistry with the recognition of Western scholars.
Europe built its scientific edifice on the legacy of Islamic civilization in its golden ages. Copernicus - for example - based his astronomical theory that revolutionized Europe on the tables and astronomical calculations developed by Muslim astronomers several centuries before him, such as Al-Battani, Al-Zarqali and Ibn Al-Shater. Newton benefited greatly from the writings of Ibn al-Haytham, a Muslim physicist, especially in the field of light and optics. Avicenna's book "The Canon of Medicine" was the medical reference approved in the universities of Europe for centuries, and Al-Zahrawi carried out complex surgeries centuries before the surgeons of Europe. Muslim scholars created new sciences such as pharmacology and algebra, whose bases were derived by Al-Khwarizmi from the Qur’anic verses that talk about inheritance and how it is distributed.

The period of sending prophets and presenting direct evidence of the existence of God has ended. The Day of Resurrection will come to hold all the sinners accountable and to honor the believers.
Please read the Topic: Evidence for the existence of God

God said:
On that Day We shall gather a crowd from every nation of those who belied Our verses, so they are gathered. When they have come, He will say: 'Did you belie My verses, although you knew nothing, or what was it you were doing? ' And the Word shall fall upon them because of the evil they committed, and they shall be speechless.

Humans are not just like animals
There are a number of things that make us human and separate us from animals. One is our ability to self-analyze and engage in mental time travel. We can also imagine different scenarios and reason abstractly. Additionally, we have established cultures with rules and moral codes. Finally, our brain functions allow us to learn rapidly and make decisions based on more than just survival instincts.
Scientists discussed how understanding of the structure of the universe, and of its dimensions, age, and formation, has greatly changed our idea of the cosmic role of mankind. Considering that the observable Universe is billions of light years in extent, billions of years in age, including hundreds of billions of galaxies, many with hundreds of billions of stars, we certainly realize our meager role in the development of this vast world. Indeed, at first glance it might seem that humans, or even life itself here on the Earth, make no difference to the Universe. However, there is one perspective that seems to give sentient life strange cosmic significance. Only a sentient, intellectual species can become aware of the universe and understand its natural rules and regularities. It seems that through thinking, self-aware species the Universe becomes aware of itself!
Christians believe that only humans have souls and this is what makes people unique and special and different to all other life forms. The soul is sometimes described as the spiritual element of humans.

Islam teaches that human beings are a unique life form that was created by God in a special way, with unique gifts and abilities unlike any other: a soul and conscience, knowledge, and free will. .

What Is the Punishment for Sin?
“For the wages of sin is death,” Romans 6:23 tells us. The Bible is very clear; those who sin earn eternal punishment. The holiness of God is like a consuming fire, such that the impure can’t stand in his presence and live (Hebrews 12:29, Exodus 33:20). The holiness and justice of God require that sin be punished and that the sinner be separated from God.

The Day of God’s Punishment of Man Is at Hand
Many people feel restless and ill at ease
because they have committed atrocious wrongs,
and many feel ashamed of themselves
because they have never performed a single good deed.
Yet there are also many who,
far from feeling disgraced by their sins, go from bad to worse,
completely ripping off the mask concealing their hideous features
—which had yet to be fully exposed—
to test God’s disposition.
God does not care for, nor pay any heed to, the actions of any one person.
Rather, God does the work that He ought to do,
be it gathering information,
or traveling the land, or doing something within God’s interests.
At key times, God proceeds with His work
among man as originally planned,
not a second too late or too soon, and with both ease and dispatch.
However, with every step of God’s work,
some are cast aside,
for God despises their flattering ways
and their feigned subservience.
Those who are abhorrent to God will certainly be forsaken,
whether intentionally or unintentionally.
In short, God would that all whom He despises stay far away from Him.
Needless to say, God will not spare the wicked who remain in God’s house.
Because the day of man’s punishment is near,
God does not hurry to cast out all those despicable souls from God’s house,
for God has a plan of His own.

Atheists argue that since religion is just a psychological fantasy, human beings should abandon it so that they can grow to respond appropriately to deal with the world as it is.
Atheists cannot proof that God doesn’t exist. But if God is real, He will send Atheists to the Hell!
Then what they shall do?!

15 Reasons Why Committed Christians Do Not Attend Church
There is a growing body of research revealing that many long-time Christian people are deciding not to attend church services any longer.
We are familiar with the term the “nones” in reference to people with no religious affiliation. However, there is a growing number of “dones,” committed Christians who have given up on church.
Some suggest that people who quit church are not true Christians or they are not being faithful to God. That may or may not be true. Certainly, there are those whom (for whatever reason) have walked away from God and have, therefore, left the Church.
However, many genuine believers are shifting their church attendance patterns. The purpose of this article is to address 15 common reasons committed Christians provide for why they do not attend church services
1. I can get better preaching from a podcast.
2. I can worship on my own.
3. I can study the Bible on my own.
4. I have Christian friends that are my “church.”
5. I have to work on Sundays.
6. I have family obligations on the weekends.
7. I feel like church is boring.
8. I don’t feel like there is a place for my child or teenager.
9. I don’t feel like going to church makes a difference in my life.
10. I don’t know of any “good” churches near me.
11. I’m not sure I believe the same things anymore.
12. I’m offended by the church’s position on sexuality.
13. I’ve been hurt by church members.
14. I don’t trust church leadership.
15. I don’t feel like there is a place for me to lead.

The birthright among the Jews had privileges that distinguished the firstborn from his other brothers. Including on behalf of the eldest on behalf of his father at home while his absence. Including his specialization in blessing on the condition that he deserves it, otherwise it is given to someone else, as happened to Esau and Reuben. Including that he is given one share in addition to his brothers, and among them, which is the most important and the greatest consideration, is that the firstborn was dedicated to the Lord.
Accordingly, God chose the Levites from among the people to serve him instead of the firstborn of the people, and imposed on them a ransom for the firstborn, five shekels of silver.
And the eldest of the kings' children had the right to take over the king's couch after his father. However, this was not a constant, for Solomon, Jehoahaz, and Abijah succeeded their fathers in the kingship, and they were not firstborn.
Since the firstborn is a matter of importance and consideration for the Jews, they used to call everything that was of great importance the firstborn. That is why the firstborn, and the only begotten son were mentioned in the titles of our Master Christ, to whom be glory.

God said: "Believers, do not follow in the steps of Satan, for those who follow the steps of Satan, he bids to indecency and dishonor. But for the bounty of God to you, and His Mercy no one of you would ever have been purified; but God purifies whom He will; God is the Hearer, the Knower."

God said: "Never have We sent a Messenger or a Prophet before you, but when he hoped, Satan tampered with his hope. But God supersedes the tampering of Satan and confirms His verses. And God is the Knower, the Wise.
(This He permits) in order that He makes Satan's interjections a temptation for those in whose hearts is a sickness and those whose hearts are hardened and the harm doers are in a wide schism, and so that those to whom knowledge has been given will know that this is the truth from your Lord and so believe in it and that their hearts will be humble to Him. Indeed, God will surely guide those who believe to a Straight Path. "
