Say: He is Allah, the One and Only;2. Allah, the Eternal, Absolute;3. He begetteth not, nor is He begotten;4. And there is none like unto HimExactly. If God is the energy and infinite light, if he's outside the matter and time, the question ain't who invented God, that can't be invented, question is who invented THIS.See in Islam, Allah has 99 names. So he is the Creator of this. Because "Creator" is one of his 99 names. So when we worship we are worshiping the Creator. Also, we are worshiping the "Infinite/Eternal", which means we worship what has always been here forever and ever with no beginning and no in.So to answer your question Allah is both. He is the Infinite energy and the Source of all that is in Creation.

I thought you meant somethang different, lol.Word... not only how a person chooses a religion, but the question for the thread was "why" is their religion. And I was pointing out that people practice Islam for many different reasons.
did adam and eve have anythin to do with the makin of all this religion stuff?
not many people know this but religion was invented in Harlem during the early 1930s. my spirit guide told me.
Quote from: Sikotic The Smut Peddler on December 23, 2009, 10:55:37 PMReligions were started by groups of people to justify why certain unexplainable things occur before they were understandable. Things such as natural disasters, death, eclipses, etc. are all simplified by most religions. Then it was used to control the masses later on. Religion has many uses. Obviously it has been used by people as a means to control others, or explain whatever mysteries people encountered. But taking Islam for example, people practice it for any number of reasons...-Identification- For example, Black people have historically identified with Islam in America because it offers them something to identify with other than the slave ships, and the religion of their slave master. Offers them a deeper and richer history which traces back to what was the original religion for many people coming from West Africa. A time when they were wealthy kings and queens (Mali Kingdom of Mansa Musa) in control of their own destiny. -Affiliation/brotherhood- If a Muslim has to leave his homeland and travel to the West, he may be all alone in a world unlike his own if not for Islam. Because of Islam, in any major city in the world, he can immediately connect with the Muslims there and find anything from friendship, a place to stay, a job, connections to back home, familiar lifestyles/identities, etc. Likewise if an American Muslim travels to a Muslim country in Asia or Africa he can immediately find assimilation into his environment.-Practice, focus, knowledge, discipline- With Islam's attention to daily details it can allow the believer to continue to move forward in life and live in the present-tense. You see some people grow bitter as they get older and life deals them an unfair hand, but a Muslim continues to remind himself throughout the day to remain grateful to Allah, and pays attention to everything from the 5 daily prayers both at home and in the masjid, daily thikrs (remembrence when waking, before sleep, before driving, before eating) walking stepping in musallah with right foot or bathroom with left foot, washing, bathing, Islamic greetings when encountering others, fasting.... so throughout his day he lives in the present tense and stays focused on gratitude towards Allah and never becomes bitter or downtrodden.Belief- The core of the Islamic belief is simple and true. There is nothing man-made to worship, like a person, place or time as you find in Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism... but rather you are only believing in the Eternal, Infinite Creator.

Religion is for weak-minded people who need a security blanket.
