Harrak the slave of allah

So Harrak you are allah's slave? That does not surprise me, after all it is islam we are talking about. It is quite fitting that allah should call his followers slaves, for he does not love his followers but ask for their subjugation. Allah does not care wheter you love him or not, just like a slave master does not care whether his slave loves him or not. All the slave master wants from his slave his obediance or else.

Tell me Harrak, what would happen to a muslim if he/she decides to leave islam. If he/she decides to run away from allah's plantation and not worship him? I believe it is called apostasy. What does allah recommend for apostates. Let's read:

Bukhari, volume 9, #57

Narrated Ikrima, "Some atheists were brought to Ali and he burnt them. The news of this event, reached Ibn Abbas who said, "If I had been in his place, I would not have burnt them, as Allah's messenger forbade it, saying, "Do not punish anybody with Allah's punishment (fire)." I would have killed them according to the statement of Allah's Messenger, "Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him."

So if one of allah's slave runs from his plantation that's what he has in store for them, death. So allah is not different from any other slave master who whips or kill their slaves for desobidiance. If the relationship was based on Love, I'm it would be quite different but I'm sure Harrak you like it that way.

What's the difference between the Father/children relationship and between the master/slave relationship.

John 4:16
"And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him."

The apostle Paul describes perfectly the relation between God and His children:

Gat. IV. 22-31.) Brethren, it is written that Abraham had two sons; the one by a bond-woman and the other by a free-woman. But he who was of the bond-woman was born according to the flesh; but he of the free-woman was by promise: which things are said by an allegory. For these are the two testaments. The one from Mount Sina, engendering unto bondage, which is Agar: for Sina is a mountain in Arabia, which hath affinity to that Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. But that Jerusalem which is above is free, which is our mother. For it is written: Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not: break forth and cry, thou that travailest not; for many are the children of the desolate, more than of her that hath a husband. Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. But as then he that was born according to the flesh persecuted him that was after the spirit, so also it is now. But what saith the scripture? Cast out the bond-woman and her son: for the son of the bond-woman shall not be heir with the son of the free-woman. So, then, brethren, we are not the children of the bond-woman, but of the free: by the freedom wherewith Christ hath made us free.
