The Quran also makes it clear that the Christians will be nearest in love to those who follow the Quran and praises Christians for being humble and wise: And thou wilt find the nearest of them in affection to those who believe (to be) those who say: Lo! We are Christians.
[2.62] Surely those who believe, and those who are Jews, and the Christians, and the Sabians, whoever believes in Allah and the Last day and does good, they shall have their reward from their Lord, and there is no fear for them, nor shall they grieve.
Muslims are not expected to visualize God but to worship and adore him as a protector. Any kind of idolatry is condemned in Islam. (Quran 112:2) As a result, Muslims hold that for someone to worship any other gods or deities other than Allah (shirk (polytheism)) is a sin that will lead to separation from Allah.
Islam and Christianity have been related since the former emerged as what Muslims would see as a divinely initiated reform and restoration of perennial prophetic religion, particularly in its Abrahamic forms in Judaism, Christianity, and the rituals of the sanctuary of Mecca.
Muʾmin or mumin (Arabic: مؤمن, romanized: muʾmin; feminine مؤمنة muʾmina) is an Arabic and Islamic term, frequently referenced in the Quran, meaning "believer". It denotes a person who has complete submission to the will of Allah and has faith firmly established in his heart, i.e. a "faithful Muslim".
Sahih International: Allah is the ally of those who believe. He brings them out from darknesses into the light. And those who disbelieve - their allies are Taghut. They take them out of the light into darknesses.
Most mainstream Muslims would generally agree they worship the same God that Christians — or Jews — worship. Zeki Saritoprak, a professor of Islamic studies at John Carroll University in Cleveland, points out that in the Quran there's the Biblical story of Jacob asking his sons whom they'll worship after his death.
Allah and the god of the Bible
Arabic-speaking Christians call God Allah, and Gideon bibles, quoting John 3:16 in different languages, assert that Allah sent his son into the world.
Allah is the standard Arabic word for God and is used by Arabic-speaking Christians and Jews as well as by Muslims.
For Allah is well-acquainted with all that you do.” The above verses clearly stated that Muslims need to treat non- Muslims justly and honourably. Muslims also need to guarantee freedom of others as can be understood from Surah al-Kafirun. The dislike of their beliefs should not prompt a Muslim to treat them unfairly.
Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things. There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion.
The Qur'an (2:256) sets out a general rule on the absence of compulsion in religion: 'let there be no compulsion in religion'. Verse 2:256 makes it clear that no one is compelled to adopt Islam as his or her religion.
Many Muslims feel that by celebrating, or even acknowledging the Christmas holiday, they are going against their monotheistic belief. Jesus, son of Mary (peace be upon him) known as Isa ibn, Maryam is a revered prophet in Islam. Like Christianity, Muslims also believe Jesus (peace be upon him) to be the Messiah.
Muslims believe the Quran to be direct knowledge from an omnipotent God. As such, some Muslims believe that the earlier versions are distorted through flawed processes of transmission and interpretation over time, and consider the Quran's version to be more accurate.
Aramaic is best known as the language Jesus spoke. It is a Semitic language originating in the middle Euphrates. In 800-600 BC it spread from there to Syria and Mesopotamia. The oldest preserved inscriptions are from this period and written in Old Aramaic.
Indeed, Arabic-speaking Christians call God Allah. That may be jarring to modern day US Christians (who tend to think of Allah as “the god of Islam”), but the term existed in the Arabic world long before Islam arrived on the scene, and it is the Arabic equivalent of the Hebrew word Elohim.
Muslim religious authorities view these books (i.e., the Bible, or parts of it) as having been altered and interpolated over time, while maintaining that the Quran remains as the final, unchanged and preserved word of God.
In conclusion, Muslims believe that God does not communicate directly to all humans. He has communicated through Messengers and Messages (scriptures). Muslims do not consider their faith to be complete without believing in ALL scriptures revealed by God. Jawad Rasul is the imam of the Islamic Society of Augusta.
'Islam is the oldest religion in the world, founded by Adam, and it was reborn with Abraham and a second time with Muhammad. Between Abraham and Muhammad, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism and Christianity emerged in this order.
Hinduism has been called the oldest religion in the world. The word Hindu is an exonym although many practitioners refer to their religion as Sanātana Dharma (Sanskrit: सनातन धर्म, lit.
So, yes, Muslims believe in the Virgin Mary, the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ as given to us in the Qur'an and as exemplified in the life model of Prophet Muhammed.
Theologically, what is meant by the Trinity in the Qur'an is a belief in three Gods: God (Allah), Jesus (Isa), and Mary, as the three independent Gods, while the Christian belief confirms that God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit (not Mary) are one God, not three independent gods.
The first promise of Allah is that He will surely answer your prayers. The second promise of Allah is that He will not punish those who ask Him forgiveness. The third promise that Allah made is that if you remember him, He will not forget you.
Therefore, believers are literally those who believe in Allah, His Angels, His Divine Books, His Prophets, Judgment Day and Destiny. Prophet Mohammed encouraged these believers to hold firm to their devotion and to abstain from the impermissible so they can increase in their faith.
