As an agnostic person, I have so many questions that I'd like to put forward to Muslims on this site. Hopefully we can learn something from this discussion. I have so many causes of doubt in islam but at the same time I still believe in one God, I'll try to touch on them all.
1) If Allah has said that he has perfected this religion, why is there so many different interpretations. Isn't it meant to be a clear cut divine answer which can be applied in the 21st , surely God woudve forseen this (it a test is not a sufficient answer for me)
2) qadr and free will seem to contradict, generally speaking it's this confusion again. If God says that some hearts are Black and with doubt, there's no saving them (something along those lines) then where's the free will. there's also multiple contradictions in the quran which is too lengthy to delve in to.
3) I have seen many Muslim speakers on YouTube state that the religion shouldn't be sugar coated, it's not a pacifist religion. I understand when you put it into the context the prophet Muhammed was initially abused but he then went on to conquer other lands. There's inherent violence and it's evident with some verses of the quran.
4) what happens to all the good righteous men that follows Christianity/Buddhism. Is he sentenced to hell for committing shirk. I know that for Muslims they can be sent to hell momentarily and then taken to jannah does that apply to other righteous people or are they condemned to hell for eternity. To me it doesn't feel 'good' what is morality/goodness ? A strict set of instructions that must be robotically followed. The fact that there's a corrupt evil Saudi that potentially will go heaven and a miskeen phillipino Christian farmer will be dammed in hell doesn't sit right with me.
