Reuniting with loved ones
OP - December 13, 2015, 04:14 PM

I have a close friend who's father passed away a couple months ago and he started to become a religious freak. Before than not so much but now he always talk about his father and how he will reunite with him in Jannah. For him, he looks at me as a very religious person and has no clue that I'm an Ex-Muslim. So the thing is he always ask me questions about the grave, afterlife, day of judgement etc. It frustrates me to have to even answer questions like those but I do just to ease his pain. His FB/Twitter page is always covered with religious material now that it scares me.

He had an argument recently with a humanist I believe and all he can do that day was release his frustration on me, seeking me for backup. What he doesn't know was that I was supporting that humanist one word after another.

I hope one day he breaks the genjutsu

hello ExANON_m welcome to CEMB., it is hard ..very hard when we loose some one very dear specially loving parents to death., If it is unnatural death it much much harder..,

So it is Ok for your friend to talk about his father all the time and how good his father was for him and for his nead & dear., And it is also OK how he will reunite with his father in ~~Jannah~~ heavens at alter times..... after all he is a believer and some blind beliefs are very soothing..

Anyways your freinfd doesn't seem to understand what Jannah means., Islamic Jannah has different meaning for different people .. may be he never read what Jannah means in Islam..

anyways I am glad you joined the forum..

with best wishes

Do not let silence become your legacy.. Question everything
I renounced my faith to become a kafir,
the beloved betrayed me and turned in to a Muslim

genjutsu

I read a news before about a woman who keeps her husband's corpse for a looooong time, still sleeping with him on the bed, etc.

It's really sad. I hope he gets better.

When I look back on why I became religious, it was ultimately because my mother passed away when I was 5 years old, and I had the same reason.

I would even tell certain people that I don't feel sad because I would re-unite with her in Jannah. It's an action of denial. He doesn't want to face reality... And this is very dangerous because he's going to hit a major depression when he realizes that Islam is not the truth..

If you're his friend, it's best to be very polite to him and not debate with him so hard. If you lose him as a friend, he's going to make excuses to cut people from his life and he'll end up alone. He has an anger within him he doesn't want to share with others.

Ask him basic questions in life so he can realize his own beliefs.. Ask him things like, "Do you really believe that Allah will burn people forever for simply not believing?" And other thought-provoking questions, but be polite and be a true friend..

"If you don't like your religion's fundamentalists, then maybe there's something wrong with your religion's fundamentals."
"Demanding blind respect but not offering any respect in reciprocation is laughable."
"Let all the people in all the worlds be in peace."
