As a Muslim how lucky we are. We have clear vision of God delivered by Hz. Muhammed
(peace upon him). We don't have to accept illogical explanation of God.

My answer

Your comments make me realize how huge the Gap is between what is considered GOD Allah in Quran and GOD almighty that Christianity believes in.

My experience with Muslims, who I lived with for my entire life, is that they have the comfort of thinking that Muhammad is the true prophet and Christianity is illusion for one major reason, human logic built through Muhammad's life and through the Quran.

It is logic to hit who ever hits you, it is logic to hate the people who hates you, however, is this logic is what GOD almighty want us to be. GOD wants us to promote our souls to a much higher level in order to be worthy to understand his true love to humanity, ALL humanity.

It is so hard for whoever believes in Muhammad and in the Quran to understand that GOD is beyond human logic. There are so many things in life that are not logical, however they are true. Can anyone make logic out of a new born baby, can anyone really make logic out of the creation of the universe.

I totally agree with you that Islam is logic and Quran gives you direction on what to do in every aspect of life, it tells you how to wash your hands, how to pray, what to say before you eat, how to greet people, etc. Islam puts you in a very comfortable place that is easy for you to measure what will take you to heaven and what will make you go to hell.

Do you really think that Muhammad showed you what GOD really is? GOD can be known only through free and unconditional love, you can see GOD everywhere were we as human forget about differences and love each other not based on logic but based on free unconditional love. JESUS said " it is easy to love whoever loves you" but in order to know GOD you have to love your enemies as much as you love yourselves". This seems to reasonable human being very illogical however, it is the only way to know almighty GOD.

Peace be with you
