Muslims: Can a man KNOW God?

Muslims, is God (aka Allah) interested in knowing man as a friend or in any measure of intimacy?

If `friend` is too warm & fuzzy, could you consider Him knowing as a caring employer, royalty who get's to know their subjects, or a Town Mayor who get know the citizens - what ever extent you like.

*** Please cite Quran verses ***

Thanks /Brad M

    First off:

    In Arabic language we call God, Allah

    Al = The

    illah = God

    So, if you join both the Arabic word together that forms the word

    Al + illah = Allah = The God in english language.

    So, we all human beings share the same one The God.

    Now to your question:

    Can a man KNOW God?

    Yes why not?

    Very Simple it is. Provided if you are sincere in your intentions and sincerely seeking The God.

    Try this. Its FREE

    Just try to engage God with all your sincerity, Say. "O' God if you are there then guide me to the straight path". You just got to pray The God repeatedly on daily basis untill your get an answer. I assure you God wont disappoint those who sincerely seek HIM. Try this, Its FREE

    You're a Christian, therefore you are taught that you may know God through Jesus Christ. I will tell you straight out that you are no less delusional than the Muslim who insists that Allah is the true god and that the Christian Jesus was a mere prophet, lesser than their own "Last Prophet."

    The point is, what good is it doing you and others like you to play the absurd and dangerous game of "my religion is better and truer than your religion?" It causes nothing but CONFLICT, and we who are NOT mired in religious delusion are SICK OF IT.

    Religion poisons EVERYTHING, but it poisons the brain most of all. Grow up. Stop playing your silly little games against other religions different from yours, and get a life.
