Are You Hearing Voices?

Abdul turned his head to look where Jason was pointing.

"Who?" He said.

Jason stared blankly at the empty space on the bench.

"He was just..." He said.

He then shook his head from side to side and brushed off the thought.

"Nevermind." He said.

"Tell me more bruh." He said.

"About what?"

"The Religion... Allah... Everything."

"What would you like to know?" He said as he began to light the blunt.

"Other Religions, why would God create them if they are erroneous and should not be followed."

Abdul stopped lighting the blunt and looked towards Jason.

"The first thing you should know bruh." He said.

"Islam is the only Religion accepted by Allah. Even though He was the One to create all the other Religions. Because He is the Creator of all and He is Khaaliq. May Allah raise the rank of our master Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and may he protect his Muslim nation from that which he fears.

"Wh-what?"

"God only chooses Islam." Abdul said.

Jason looked at Abdul as he spoke. "Oh..."

"Why though?" He asked.

"Because Islam is a perfect Religion and it's flawless." Abdul said.

"What about other Religions like Christianity? Isn't it flawless and perfect?" Jason asked.

Abdul lifted up the blunt up to his mouth and he took a slow drag.

"Jason..." He said.

"Christianity and all other Religions are beautiful and great. No doubt about that." He said.

Jason shook his head slowly. "Yes, I agree."

Abdul took another hit of the blunt and he passed it to Jason. He then slowly blew the smoke out from his mouth.

"But... they have been perverted... tampered with... over the years."

"Islam is the only true one. Every other religion stems from Islam."

"There are many Religions, but only one God. Remember that bro."

"So what's wrong with Christianity? Why is it erroneous?"

"The belief system bro. They believe that God has a son. And they believe that God died and was bought back to life. We don't believe in that."

"So when they make supplication and be like 'O Heavenly Father', that's wrong?" He asked.

Abdul shook his head from side to side.

"Ain't nothing wrong with that bro. If they are referring to the fact that He's not really our father but our Creator. I mean... Allah said in the Qur'an that He created our father Prophet Adam with His own hands, but His Hands are unlike the creation's hands completely." He said.

Jason nodded his head slowly.

"But... that statement denotes a negative connotation."

"If you don't truly believe that He's our father, if it's only a metaphor then OKAY. But the problem is... they believe that he's truly our father."

"Okay... If He's not our father than what is He?" Jason asked.

"Jason when referring to Allah, it's not permissible to classify Him as 'what' rather a "Who?"
