Question

I have doubt about Allah that he is not concern with me and sent me here only to suffer. 24 years have past,i'm still alone as I was in childhood. I'm born in muslims but not tought as a muslim no one guided me in all my life. I tried myself but i found useless to pray form Allah. i m a big sinner, I did all sins,now in last i have renounce islam,i have nothing to do with Allah,because if he can not here me,then he is not my god.

Answer

Almighty Allah Ta'ala is our Creator. We were non existent. He created us%0D%0Aand chose us to be the best and most Noble creation, human beings. He could%0D%0Ahave made us an animal, a pig, a dog, etc. or a tree in the jungle with no%0D%0Aexpectations of eternal enjoyment in paradise.%0D%0A%0D%0AWe should be thankful to Him for creating us and making us human beings.%0D%0AThere is no doubt in the existence of Allah. Ponder upon His creations, the%0D%0Askies, the mountains, the bright sunlight, rain, fruits, vegetables, etc. Do%0D%0Anot take those things for granted. Ponder upon them and search for the%0D%0Arecognition of Allah. You will certainly recognize Him if you are sincere.%0D%0A%0D%0AThe purpose of coming into this world is to express our slavery and%0D%0Asubordination to Him just as a slave does to His Master. Allah says, 'He%0D%0Awill test us in very many different ways, and only those that are patient%0D%0Aand endure the difficulties and submit to His Will will be successful.%0D%0AAlmighty Allah Ta'ala Knows best the condition of every creature. He knows%0D%0Ayour indept feelings.%0D%0A%0D%0AAllah is Most Gracious and Most Merciful. He says in the Noble Qur'aan, 'Oh%0D%0AMy Slaves! Do not despair. Verily Allah will forgive all sins.'%0D%0A%0D%0AIn one Hadith, Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) is reported to have%0D%0Asaid, 'If a person has sins equivalent to the foams of the sea and pebbles%0D%0Aon a desert, Allah's mercy is so encompassing that He will forgive every%0D%0Asin.' In another narration, it is mentioned that Allah will speak secretly%0D%0Ato one of His slaves on the day of Qiyaamat and remind him of all his sins.%0D%0AAfter the person will confess his sins, Allah will say to him, 'I concealed%0D%0Ayour faults in the world, today too, I will conceal your faults. Go in%0D%0AJannah, I have forgiven you.'%0D%0A%0D%0AThe above mentioned are few of many Ahaadith explaining the extent of%0D%0AAllah's Mercy. However, Allah says, 'Verily Allah will not forgive a person%0D%0Awho ascribe partners (commit Shirk) with Him.' The only sin that is%0D%0Aunforgivable is Kufr (disbelief) and Shirk (ascribing partners). Accepting%0D%0AIslam is the only atonement for the sin of Kufr and Shirk.%0D%0A%0D%0AYou should anticipate His mercy and come back to Islam. He will forgive all%0D%0Ayour sins and you should associate with pious people, Ulama, etc. and%0D%0Aconstantly request them for guidance. You should not draw your own%0D%0Aconclusions as that will be harmful to you.%0D%0A%0D%0Aand Allah Ta'ala Knows Best%0D%0A%0D%0AMufti Ebrahim Desai%0D%0AFATWA DEPT.%0D%0A%0D%0A
