Belief in god Quote by Babloo
“Some people say things that might confuse people about the correct belief in God. A man on T.V. was talking about how he did not die even though he became unconscious while piloting an airplane. He said: The Lord walks with me daily. He was in the cockpit with me. Muslims don't talk like this. God is our Lord, the One Who created us and owns us. God is not like us. We walk and we do not say about God that He walks. We say that God sees, hears and knows about us. And we know that God's seeing, hearing and knowing are not like ours. When we are protected in a certain place, we do not say that God is in that place. We are in that place being protected by God, but God does not need a place.”
