Hello everyone,
I know Judaism is both ethnicity and religion. So someone that’s a Jew(ethnically) can be non religious and still be “fully” Jew.
Now my question is, what if you are not a Jew but converted to Judaism, how would you identify, what would you call yourself? Lets assume in this case you look drastically different(redhead or something if that makes any difference)
Thank you for clarifying this!
As a follower of God, is there anything you find conflicting or contradictory between those? I’m doing my research and up until now still haven’t found so was curious.
I’ll start with what Allah likes and then what He dislikes. First let me state the recurring mention of freeing a slave, honoring the orphan, encouraging the feeding of the poor and helping the needy and traveler. That’s what Allah wants for us to do, He also wants us to be good, patient, grateful, righteous and mindful.
“O believers! Seek comfort in patience and prayer. Allah is truly with those who are patient.”2:153
“Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly.”60:8
"And those who strive for Us, We will surely guide them along Our ways. And Allah is certainly with the good-doers."29:69
“And spend in the way of Allah and do not throw [yourselves] with your [own] hands into destruction [by refraining]. And do good; indeed, Allah loves the doers of good.”2:195
“O believers! Be mindful of Allah and be with the truthful.”9:119
“Who spend [in the cause of Allah] during ease and hardship and who restrain anger and who pardon the people - and Allah loves the doers of good.”3:134
“Why should Allah punish you if you are grateful and faithful? Allah is ever Appreciative, All-Knowing.”4:147
“As for the polytheists who have honoured every term of their treaty with you and have not supported an enemy against you, honour your treaty with them until the end of its term. Surely Allah loves those who are mindful ˹of Him˺.”9:4
“How can such polytheists have a treaty with Allah and His Messenger, except those you have made a treaty with at the Sacred Mosque? So, as long as they are true to you, be true to them. Indeed Allah loves those who are mindful ˹of Him˺.”9:7
“Muḥammad is no more than a messenger; other messengers have gone before him. If he were to die or to be killed, would you regress into disbelief? Those who do so will not harm Allah whatsoever. And Allah will reward those who are grateful.
No soul can ever die without Allah’s Will at the destined time. Those who desire worldly gain, We will let them have it, and those who desire heavenly reward, We will grant it to them. And We will reward those who are grateful.
How many devotees fought along with their prophets and never faltered despite whatever ˹losses˺ they suffered in the cause of Allah, nor did they weaken or give in! Allah loves those who persevere.”3:144-146
“O Children of Adam! Dress properly whenever you are at worship. Eat and drink, but do not waste. Surely He does not like the wasteful.”7:31
“And do not turn your nose up to people, nor walk pridefully upon the earth. Surely Allah does not like whoever is arrogant, boastful.”31:18
“The reward of an evil deed is its equivalent. But whoever pardons and seeks reconciliation, then their reward is with Allah. He certainly does not like the wrongdoers. There is no blame on those who enforce justice after being wronged. Blame is only on those who wrong people and transgress in the land unjustly. It is they who will suffer a painful punishment.And whoever endures patiently and forgives—surely this is a resolve to aspire to.”42:40-43
“Without a doubt, Allah knows what they conceal and what they reveal. He certainly does not like those who are too proud.”16:23
“O believers! Do not forbid the good things which Allah has made lawful for you, and do not transgress. Indeed, Allah does not like transgressors."5:87
“Say, “My Lord has only forbidden open and secret indecencies, sinfulness, unjust aggression, associating ˹others˺ with Allah ˹in worship˺—a practice He has never authorized—and attributing to Allah what you do not know.”7:33
“And if you ˹O Prophet˺ see signs of betrayal by a people, respond by openly terminating your treaty with them. Surely Allah does not like those who betray.” 8:58
“Do not advocate for those who wrong themselves. Surely Allah does not like those who are deceitful, sinful.”4:107
“And as for those who believe and do good, they will be rewarded in full. And Allah does not like the wrongdoers.”3:57
“Surely the hypocrites will be in the lowest depths of the Fire—and you will never find for them any helper—except those who repent, mend their ways, hold fast to Allah, and are sincere in their devotion to Allah; they will be with the believers. And Allah will grant the believers a great reward.”4:145-146.
Pretty much to follow Allah as in follow everything He stands for is to be a believer. And a disbeliever is the one that denies that. Epstein island almost reminds me of Lut people how they were committing open indecency and rape the travelers. And we know how Allah dealt with them. So today the disbelievers are not who we think they are, they are the very corrupt people that reject all that Allah stands for, He is the Merciful,The Source of Goodness(ar-Rahman, al-Barr). Allah said “And do not obey the despicable, vain oath-taker,slanderer, gossip-monger,withholder of good, transgressor, evildoer.”68:10-12
Which proves to me that Allah detests those qualities along with the disbelievers that harbor those qualities while also spreading them.

Ask me anything you want to know about Allah/islam whether general or specific, I’ll do my best to answer or get help from other Muslims to clarify some things.
