Here's a hypothetical: One day, a man with Superman's powers comes out of nowhere and starts to fight crime. His powers don't appear to be generated by any technology, so no Iron Man suit or Batman gadgets. He has the whole package: flight, invulnerability to bullets, bombs, missiles, super-strength, super-speed (faster than a speeding locomotive). And he uses them only for good. He stops criminals without harming them, respects the police, gets involved in the wars and is unstoppable on the battlefield, destroying all the weapons, until the nations are forced to agree on peace.

Hi everyone! , I am born into a catholic family and I have been looking into Islam for over 2 years and within that two years I haven’t been practicing Christianity especially catholicism because personally I have never felt a connection with god even though I went to church every Sunday, I don’t understand the teachings of Catholicism and when I tried to go to a different denomination it was a bad experience. Overall, and I don’t think the religion is for me. And with Islam, I haven’t practiced because I haven’t taken my shahada. I want to revert to Islam as over the two years the trials and ..read more

I don’t know how I should word that, but I’ve been struggling a lot since early 2022 and I haven’t been able to go to school, see my friends, or even leave the house since. I grew up going to church but stopped because I’ve never had a strong opinion on religion but now I think I want to explore it and see how i feel. I’m not looking for someone to tell me I’m not crazy for wanting to turn to religion, or it’s “whatever I’m most comfortable with”, but it’s a genuine question… should i try to explore religion? submitted by /u/Certain_Industry8960 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I'm not a Muslim, but I've read that there are references to Hermes Trismegistus in Islamic scriptures and this caught my attention since he's a figure usually related to Paganism & Occultism. I'd like to know if those references exist and how is he considered in Islam. I'd be more than happy if you could give me some sources or any further reading, thanks. submitted by /u/faylefay [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
