Islam Corrects Judaism and Christianity - Islamic Answer

The religion of Islam was created before Judaism and Christianity, you see those two religions were a mistake God sent Moses to tell others about this great new religion but the others took it in a different point of view which then they made up Judaism. So then God sent Jesus so preach about Islam and once again he failed and the Jews go mad.

So then God sent Prophet Mohammad and he succeeded and that's the story of Islam.

Islam Makes People Better - Islamic Answer

I believe that Islam is the right religion! Definitely; but needless to say some others will disagree.

Islam Returns people to Monotheism - Islamic Answer

Yes, islam is right in all matters.

Islam is the true religion that Allah accepts to his creation "mankind".

All celestial religions from prophet Adam to prophet Mohammed (peace and blessings of Allah be upon them all) came with the same message: The oneness of God "Allah" who derseves to be worshiped alone.

Allah, all praise to him, created us from nothing and sent his messengers to move people from darkness to linghtness and to save them from hell. He created us to worship him alone and not to worship anything beside him but people change over time and forget about the true message of Islam "the oneness of Allah" which all messengers of Allah came with.

The Jews and sons of Israel worshiped the cow and said Ozair is the son of God.

The Christians said Jesus is the son of God and some say Jesus is God.

The Arabs before Islam worshiped idols to lead them to God.

God send messengers to all people to bring them back to the oneness of God. Many believed and many more did not believe. Prophet Mohammed is the last prophet and came to all mankind with the same ever message: God is one and must be worshiped as one.

Behavior of Muslims Shows Quality - Islamic Answer

As a Muslim, I would say Yes. But I would suggest that a person should study The holy Qur'an and the life history of the Last Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (May peace be upon him). I would also suggest that there may be Good Muslims and bad Muslims as good and bad people are found in the followers of every religion. A Muslim must be true, just, upright, kind and loving, chaste, dignified, brave, fair and honest in his dealings, well mannered, well behaved, tolerant, self sacrificing, respectful to all humans and helpful to all humans irrespective of their caste, creed, color, language and country. This is what Islam teaches. The most Important being TRUE and Just.

Very unfortunately, the Muslims today don't follow the teachings of Islam. Please don't judge Islam keeping in view the CHARACTER of the Muslims. There are very good Muslims but majority ....

No, the Bible explicitly describes Islam as Untrue - Christian Answer

When it comes to religion. The Bible which came before Islam gives God's definition of religion in Romans !0:3, "For they being ignorant of the righteousness of God and going about to establish their own righteousness have not submitted themselves to the righteousness of God." Religion is man made righteousness. This is what Islam is and here is the proof: Islam take from the Bible what it wants and claims that the rest is error, that is like going to a contaminated well and getting only the uncontaminated water. How can you tell when it is all from the same source?

The Bible has verses that warn of false faiths to come, 2 Corinthians 11:14, "Satan also comes as an angel of light." Galatians 1:8 " But though we or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached, unto him let him be accursed." Now Islam says that the angel Gabriel came to Muhammed with the words of God for the Qu'ran. What is it that disqualifies these two verses for Islam to claim that they are in error? Here are 2 verses that tell of false truth coming from angels. Weren't the 1/3rd of the angels that followed Satan angels? Wouldn't these angels be employed in efforts to deceive men to detour them from the truth?

Here are verses that prove that Islam has no foundation in truth. If Islam agrees with certain things in the Bible what disqualifies these two verses warning of angels that come to deceive?

It's my opinion that Muslims do not love the truth and it is proven when you make them look at their own belief system as this: The God of the Bible has many names that are attributes ti His character of which love, grace and mercy are named. Islam came along 700 yrs. later with 99 names for Allah's character of which love is not one. Now if Islam is about love wouldn't it be reflected in one Allah's names? The Qu'ran defines Allah more in terms of judgment than of grace and power rather than mercy. Allah loves only those that he deems good while the God of the Bible loves all humanity, none of whom are basically good. They disagree with Christianity for it is the spirit that it relates to. If their reward from Allah after they die is the expectation of sex with 40 virgins in paradise theirs is a religion of the flesh for who can deny that this is a fleshly desire? But them. Yes theirs is the right religion for religion is man establishing his own righteousness and only those in religions can't accept this truth. My God says to worship Him in Spirit and Truth and that ain't religion.

Islam is Recycled Christianity - Christian Answer

Islam is a Mix of Other Religions and Pre-Exisiting Documents

The Qur'an is a composite of several previously existing traditions that Mohammed merged and aggregated. Probably the most central basis of the Qur'an is Jewish tradition. This does not mean that the Qur'an lifted phrases only from the Bible, but rather that the Qur'an repeated stories or paraphrases of Jewish sources the commented on the Bible and that existed by 500 C.E. -- over 50 years prior to Qur'anic Revelation.

Some of these verses include:

• Q: 5:31 which corresponds to a story in Targum Y. ben Uzziah -- A raven scratches the ground to tell a dumbfounded Cain how to dig a burial pit for his murdered brother.
• Q: 5:32 which corresponds to Mishnah Sanhedrin 4:5 -- This is the famous line that killing one person is like killing the entire world. Both specifically related this story to Cain because the bloods of Abel cry out.
• Q: 21:50-71 which corresponds with Midrash Breishit 38:11-13 -- Abraham is breaking idols in his father, Terah's workshop. The idolmakers get furious and demand that Abraham be punished. Abraham protests saying that the idols are meaningless because there is only One God and He is not in the idols. The idolmakers decide to burn him alive for desecrating the idols, but Abraham miraculously escapes being burned alive.
• Q: 24:24 which corresponds with Chagigah 16, Taanith 11 -- Both sources allege that the various body parts (specifically hands and feet) of a person will testify against him when he arrives in heaven by literally speaking to God.
• Q: 27:16-44 which corresponds with Targum Esther -- Solomon speaks to a large and powerful bird who informs him that there is a Queen in a remote land, which happens to be the Queen of Sheba in Ethiopia. Solomon demands that the bird bring her a message to come and treat with him. The Queen complies and believes Solomon to be a very wise king.

In addition to the numerous Qur'anic verses that have origins in Jewish belief, the entire system of Islamic Jurisprudence (Fiqh) is modeled in the same manner as Rabbinic scholarship. Holy Texts are read and interpreted to give meaning and discretion to current situations and these are debated by jurists (Faqih) until such a time as an answer is created and a religious decision (fatwa) published. (Judaism is the same, but replace Fiqh with Oral Law, Faqih with Rabbi, and fatwa with responsum.)

Additional similarities between the religions include that both Judaism and Islam reject the Trinity as the Godhead, are based in orthopraxis (doing over believing), have a form of religious jurisprudence based on their holy books, have dietary restrictions, and pray in distinct holy languages at set intervals during the day.

Islam also takes a number of its views about Jesus from Early Christian heresies that dominated in Arabia at the time. The most prominent such view is that Jesus was not properly crucified. As recounted by Church Father Iranaeus in Against HeresiesChapter 24 - Doctrines of Saturninus and Basilides: Wherefore he [Jesus] did not himself suffer death, but Simon, a certain man of Cyrene, being compelled, bore the cross in his stead; so that this latter being transfigured by him, that he might be thought to be Jesus, was crucified, through ignorance and error, while Jesus himself received the form of Simon, and, standing by, laughed at them. For since he was an incorporeal power, and the Nous (mind) of the unborn father, he transfigured himself as he pleased, and thus ascended to him who had sent him, deriding them, inasmuch as he could not be laid hold of, and was invisible to all. Those, then, who know these things have been freed from the principalities who formed the world; so that it is not incumbent on us to confess him who was crucified, but him who came in the form of a man, and was thought to be crucified, and was called Jesus, and was sent by the Father.

Gnostic Christians, another Christian heretical sect held much the same view. Additionally, Q: 5:116 implies that the Christian Trinity is composed of the Father, the Son, and Mary (not the Holy Spirit). Although the Qur'an was put together between 610-632 CE, and the Nicene Creed of 325 CE already established the correct Christian Trinity, this misinterpretation makes sense when you take into account that several Christian heretical groups had the same Trinity. The Qur'an was responding to "local Christians" as opposed to all Christians. Many of the more mystial elements of the Jesus' life from Gnostics and other Heretical groups were also taken by the Qur'an and centralized.

We can also see clear clerical errors in the transmittal because of personal confusion. For example, one of the "YES" answers points out Q: 9:30 where it claims the Jews believed that Ezra/Ozair was the Son of God, when no Jewish document corroborates this belief. Another example is when the Qur'an confuses Moses' sister Miriam with Jesus' Mother Mary (who are both Maryam in Arabic) in the line: Q:19:27-28, even though these two people would have lived over 1000 years apart.

MAYBE Answer

An Objective Answer: Maybe

God is Infinite and expresses Himself accordingly. He makes Himself available to everyone in ways they can personally understand. If God speaks to you through Islam, perhaps it is the right religion for you.

Religion is a Cultural Byproduct

It is interesting that the question must even be asked. It must be asked because there are so many 'religions', and to an overwhelming degree the religion to which one is born is held to be the 'right' religion. Religion is a practice, and practices are strongly culturally linked. If there were a 'religion' which is truly the 'right' one, why would it be so difficult for reasoning people throughout the world to realize it? Because religion is culturally linked.

Religion is What is in Your Heart

The right religion is the one in your heart. That is why it is the right one. Otherwise you would not believe in it. The right religion is the one you feel whole in.
