How will God Almighty Judge us?

On the day of judgment God will judge each person on an individual basis not our religious affiliation ie Islam, Christainty, Judaism, Hinduism etc . God Almighty knows what's in the heart of man/woman and will judge us according to our deeds/ works.

God says in the Holy Quran 67:2 “It is He who created death and life for you that He may try you, as to which of you is best in works....

The Holy Quran, 21:47 "On the Day of Judgment, We shall set up scales of justice so that no one will be dealt with unjustly in any way; even if someone has an act as small as a grain of a mustard seed, We will bring it to account, and sufficient are We to settle the accounts."

The Holy Quran 16:111"The day will come when every soul will serve as its own advocate, and every soul will be paid fully for whatever it had done, without the least injustice."

The Holy Quran 4:124."As for those who lead a righteous life, male or female, while believing, they enter Paradise; without the slightest injustice."

Heaven is not a place, it is a timeless state of mind. It is living in the present moment with love, contentment and gratitude.

Why look for a far off place when you can enter in to the kingdom of heaven now? No God(s) required. That is not me saying I do not believe in God though, just that even atheists can enter into "heaven".

So that's what it says in the koran, so what?Can you show any evidence, apart from the book itself, that the koran is the work of anything other than human authors? Until you can, it's just another book and there's no reason to take anything it says seriously.

It would appear that the purpose of life for people who find that question valid is to inflate their own importance.

'The Key to Heaven' is an abstract concept that many fools have claimed to know about in practical terms.

Yeah, because dividing people into groups isn't an entirely human enterprise.

Look, preacher...your bullshit is old hat. We've all read hundreds of similar baseless claims inspired by ancient goat herder sci-fi. You obviously signed up here without understanding what this place is. I forgive you for your gross ignorance and lack of respect for where you are posting this nonsense. If my forgiveness doesn't get you into heaven then I'm sure that one of your silly fantasies about what other people should do will be enough.

Thanks for stopping by and don't let the demand for logic and reason slap you in the ass on your way out.

I would qualify for heaven by your test Syed..

But I dont think god is qualified to judge me or others.... He would fail the very conditions you have listed.

If he exists at all he is incompetent and vain and petulant... not up to the task at all.

I'll never drink alcohol, smoke tobacco, or use drugs, you drop your belief in Allah. So, are you willing to compromise or are you going to have to skip out on paradise?
