ISLAM: The Religion Of Truth
This is a call to all the Christians to seek the truth and to earn salvation from the One True God Allah Subhana Wa Ta’ala (glory be to Him in the highest). You must recognize that Jesus was a mighty and blessed prophet and messenger of God Allah, the blessed Messiah, his birth was indeed miraculous and he performed countless miracles by the leave of Allah Subhana Wa Ta’ala (glory be to Him in the highest).
Jesus (peace be upon him) was born miraculously, everyone who knew his mother Mary testified that she did not have any kind of a relationship with a man. Jesus even testified from the cradle that she was innocent and that he came to call the Jewish people back to worshipping the One True God Allah Subhana Wa Ta’ala (glory be to Him in the highest). He lived a very pious and perfect life without sin, tirelessly preaching to people and calling them to abandon their continuing apostasy and to go back to worshipping the God of Abraham, Ish’mail, Isaac, Jacob and Moses (peace be upon them all).
“And We did certainly give Moses the Torah and followed up after him with messengers. And We gave Jesus, the son of Mary, clear proofs and supported him with the Pure Spirit. But is it [not] that every time a messenger came to you, [O Children of Israel], with what your souls did not desire, you were arrogant? And a party [of messengers] you denied and another party you killed”. Surat Al-Baqarah 2:87
Jesus (peace be upon him) did not start a new religion, nor did he came to call the Gentiles (non-Jews) to follow the religion of Abraham (peace be upon him). He only came to warn the Jews, they were diverting their worship away from the laws and customs of Moses and all the prophets (peace be upon them all) and the Jews rejected the call of the Messiah, so they intended to crucify him but Allah Subhana Wa Ta’ala (glory be to Him in the highest) lifted him up to heaven bodily until he returns the same way again.
Soon after there was a great struggle between the apostles of Jesus and a Roman citizen called Saul of Tarsus who later came to be known as St. Paul. With the backing of the mighty Roman Empire behind him, St. Paul won and the new religion of Christianity merged with the pagan worship system of the Romans. Christianity today is a continuation of this mixture of Christian and pagan worship system, ironically still ruled from Rome. The proof that the original doctrine of the apostles of Jesus (peace be upon him) was changed is in the Apostles Creed which is a statement of faith in Christianity. It begins with “I believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty maker of heaven and earth” however as it transpires some statements were added later on for example “I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,”
And “suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried;”
Also “I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,”
Now once you can accept and understand this then the reason why Muhammad (peace be upon him) was chosen as the final messenger to mankind makes perfect sense. The Jews were diverting their religion away from Allah Subhana Wa Ta’ala (glory be to Him in the highest) and the Christians perverted the message of Jesus (peace be upon him) to a mixture of the Abrahamaic faith with paganism.
Once you as a Christian learn about Islam and the message of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) then you will find that the Holy Qur’an is the word of the One True God Allah Subhana Wa Ta’ala (glory be to Him in the highest). If you then strip away the belief in the deity of Jesus (peace be upon him) and take away the holy trinity as an invented thing then you will find that there is not much difference between Islam and Christianity. Islam also teaches us how to worship Allah Subhana Wa Ta’ala in the proper way, for example, performing ablution before praying. One has to be pure in body and in spirit before one appears in the presence of the Almighty.
Clear your heart of prejudice and pre conceived ideas, open your heart and read the Holy Qur’an and you will find truth from our Creator and Sustainer of the World, Allah Subhana Wa Ta’ala (glory be to Him in the highest).
QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY ASK
1. Why was Muhammad chosen as the final messenger to mankind?
Only Allah Subhana Wa Ta’ala (glory be to Him in the highest) knows the answer to this question, however we can deduce certain facts and acertain the reasons why Muhammad (peace be unto him) was chosen. First of all, he was the descendant of Abraham through his first born son Ishma’il. Secondly, he was illiterate which tells us quite clearly that such a man would never produce a monumental and life changing work that is within the pages of the Holy Qur’an. Thirdly, the odds were stacked against him as everyone including his family was opposed to his worship of the One True God, almost everybody in Mecca, the Arabs worshipped idols and multiple deities. I would also say here that Muhammed had no reason to start a religion by himself, he was a successful merchant and trader, after the revelations came to him, he abandoned all material things and devoted his life to Allah Subhana Wa Ta’ala (glory be unto Him in the highest). He adopted a very simple life and he never gained anything financially or materially.
2. Why make the lifetime pilgrimage to the Ka’aba in Mecca?
The pilgrimage to the Ka’aba in Mecca is one of the five pillars of islam. The Shahada or the statement of faith when one firmly believes in his heart that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad was a slave and final messenger of Allah Subhana Wa Ta’ala (glory be to Him in the highest). Then implementing the five daily prayers in your life, prayer brings closer to God as your sins are cleansed on a daily basis. Fasting in the month of Ramadan is obligatory as this will bring you piety and you will understand the need of your brothers and sisters who are less fortunate than yourself, this will also cleanses you of your sins. Paying charity to the needy and the poor, Allah Subhana Wa Ta’ala has stated so many times in the Holy Qura’an that one should look after your brothers and sisters who are less fortunate and paying charity is one way that they can share in the bounty of Allah Subhana Wa Ta’ala (glory be to Him in the highest). Finally, the pilgrimage or Hajj to Mecca is to be performed only if you are able and can afford to do so. The Ka’aba in Mecca is the first building that Allah ordered to be built as a place of worship, it is a scared place ordained by Allah Subhana Wa Ta’ala (glory be to Him in the highest) and once you perform the Hajj perfectly then all of your sins are forgiven.
“And [recall, O People of the Scripture], when Allah took the covenant of the prophets, [saying], "Whatever I give you of the Scripture and wisdom and then there comes to you a messenger confirming what is with you, you [must] believe in him and support him." [ Allah ] said, "Have you acknowledged and taken upon that My commitment?" They said, "We have acknowledged it." He said, "Then bear witness, and I am with you among the witnesses. And whoever turned away after that - they were the defiantly disobedient. So is it other than the religion of Allah they desire, while to Him have submitted [all] those within the heavens and earth, willingly or by compulsion, and to Him they will be returned? Say, "We have believed in Allah and in what was revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the Descendants, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus and to the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and we are Muslims [submitting] to Him. And whoever desires other than Islam as religion - never will it be accepted from him, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers.” Surat Ali-Imran 3:81-85
