Hello Faith
Nice points
I am going to answer from my prospective not the Joker's of course
The only thing I sense is that you are thinking about it from the prospective of a Christian
Theologically, Islam belief in the
absolute oneness of Allah .... Some kind of a numerical one and he is not
omnipresent accroding to Sunni majority
On the contrary, we believe that God is one
in Nature but with infinite existence (more elaboration needs another thread)
These are alien terms to Muslim theologians
So, Muslims claim that you cannot worship except Allah, but literally they worship his names too (
AbdalRahman,
AbdalRahim ... etc) where
Abd means worshiper or slave of
Of course some Copts and Arab Christians adopted the same concept ... but
without a Christian theological basis
So, my original question was
إقتباس:
If your Allah is an absolute one, where did this multiplicity come from ?
|
The answer puts the Muslim between two choices
+ The multiplicity from
within (so, why they won't accept a similar concept like the trinity)
+ Or Multiplicity from
without which leads to Shirk (or
polytheism in Muslim terms)
So the leap you are talking about here
إقتباس:
First, it is again illogical to jump from 99 attributes of god, to 99 gods.
|
is an internal theological problem within Islam
that is why I refered to "
Islamic logic", and you see it as
illogical
This is a very fast response because I am at work right now ...
God Bless +++
