Islams breeds Agnosticism

According to Islam, Allah (the god of Islam) has no essense. An A set of properties that an object or person has; without which that object or person would not exist.essence is a set of properties that an object or person has; without which that object or person would not exist. For example, as humans, one property of our A set of properties that an object or person has; without which that object or person would not exist.essence is our body. If we had no body, we simply would not exist. Similarly, since all birds have feathers, if an eagle did not have any, it would not be a bird.

In Islam we can understand this further by evaluating what is typically quoted from its adherents. Many prominent Islamic theologians including Al-Ghazali, Isma'il Al-Faruqi, Fadlou Shehadi, and Shabbir Akhtar believe(d) that we can not and do not know anything about God's A set of properties that an object or person has; without which that object or person would not exist.essence. Out of the official 99 Names of Allah provided in Islam (most of which of which are from the The sacred book of Islam, whose name literally means 'recitation' which is believed to have been dictated by the angel Gabriel to the prophet Muhammad over a period of twenty-three years. It consists of 114 chapters (Suras) of various lengths, which are organized from longest to shortest.Quran), it is firmly stated that not one of them in any way describes who Allah is; however, his names are merely descriptions of the actions he has decided to perform in the past. In other words, Allah is called good because he has caused good, but goodness is not an essential property of his being. He may be recognized in these descriptions given to him, but he does not conform to any.

Al-Ghazali, the most distinguished theologian in the history of Islam, concluded that, "The end result of the knowledge of the arifin [those who know] is their inability to know him, and their knowledge is, in truth, that they do not know him and that it is absolutely impossible for them to know him."¹ In addition, Fadlou Shehadi, a contemporary scholar of Al-Ghazali states that if this statement is true then "God would have to be unknowable, completely unknowable, not only to 'the man in the street' but to the prophets and mystics as well."²

These are incredible statements by the greatest minds in Islamic What the whole Bible teaches us today about a particular topic.doctrine! The result of us knowing absolutely nothing of Allah's essential character (or the absence of one at all), means that Islam shows us a god who is unknowable. But if as humans we cannot know anything concerning the character of Allah, then not even Muhammad himself could've known anything about him; and as C. G. Pfander put it, "If they think at all deeply, they find themselves absolutely unable to know God... thus Islam leads to [a special type of] The belief that nothing is known or can be known of the existence or nature of God.Agnosticism."³ That if God exists, we cannot know anything about him and to say that we do is uttered foolishness.

Throughout the entirety of the The sacred book of Islam, whose name literally means 'recitation' which is believed to have been dictated by the angel Gabriel to the prophet Muhammad over a period of twenty-three years. It consists of 114 chapters (Suras) of various lengths, which are organized from longest to shortest.Quran, nothing is said of the nature of the Islamic god.⁴ In the popular book Introduction to Islam, we find chapters on various topics including the political, judicial, and economic systems, but not one on the being and character of the god they serve.⁵ Even some contemporary books have devoted no more than a page or two to this topic. It is undeniable that "the The sacred book of Islam, whose name literally means 'recitation' which is believed to have been dictated by the angel Gabriel to the prophet Muhammad over a period of twenty-three years. It consists of 114 chapters (Suras) of various lengths, which are organized from longest to shortest.Quran, unlike the Literally 'the good news' which is a term used to describe the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ through whom we may be granted salvation.gospel, never comments on the A set of properties that an object or person has; without which that object or person would not exist.essence of Allah. Only adjectival descriptions are attributed to the divine being and these merely as they bear on the revelation of God's will [command] for man. The rest remains mysterious."⁶ How can I be expected to worship and love someone that I can know absolutely nothing about?

In closing I have one more thought concerning the absence of Allah's A set of properties that an object or person has; without which that object or person would not exist.essence in Islam. If the names given to him are only meant to be seen as descriptions of his past actions, then wouldn't it be justifiable to call him faithless since he causes people not to believe? Wouldn't it be permissible to call him evil since he would therefore be the cause of it? If Muslims claim that there is something in God which is the basis for calling him good, but not for calling him evil, then it seems that his names really do describe something of his A set of properties that an object or person has; without which that object or person would not exist.essence after all.⁷ To sum it all up shortly, it appears that in Islam God is either both good and evil and therefore self-contradictory, or the historical Complete trust and confidence in someone or something.faith of Islam is false.
