the questions::

The three questions:: Please research them from your OWN FAITH BACKGROUND, and be sure to write passages from your holy texts that support your statements.

**From your faith perspective: what are the religious texts? How were they given from God to humans, or how do they get their authority from God? If there are different versions or translations, how are they different, if at all? Which do you follow, and why?

**From your faith perspective: what is the nature of God? What are his characteristics? How does he interact with humans? What are his requirements of humans?

**From your faith perspective: how are other religions, and other religious followers, viewed? How are they to be treated? What is their status according to your faith — legally, socially, etc.? Remember to separate religious ideals from historical practice.

The religious text is the Quran. Its authority comes directly from God. It was written by Him, and the proof of that is that the Quran is unique, perfect, and was never altered unlike any other religious text. The Quran was given to us through Muhammad (SAW). While the translations are different, usually Qurans that provide translations are also in Arabic, and the Arabic version never changes; I don't follow any particular translation.

**From your faith perspective: what is the nature of God? What are his characteristics? How does he interact with humans? What are his requirements of humans?

God is all-powerful, all-merciful. He's pure, all-knowing, just, forgiving, generous, loving, self-sufficient, and patient. He interacts with humans directly and indirectly (through Angels and Prophets).

His requirements of humans are that we believe in Him, believe in His prophets and Angels, give charity to the poor (if we're capable of it), pray to him, fast for him, and undertake the pilgrimage to the Kaabah (if we're capable of it).

We must also be just toward toward one another. There are many other requirements, such as refraining from eating pork and intoxicants, and being modest.

**From your faith perspective: how are other religions, and other religious followers, viewed? How are they to be treated? What is their status according to your faith — legally, socially, etc.?

It depends what religions you're talking about. Jews and Christians are viewed as having part of the knowledge of God, but only part of it, so they are viewed as having more honor than any other non-believers (People of the Book, they're called). However, there are many Christians (Christians being defined as followers of Jesus's teachings) that practice polytheism, which is blasphemy (the holy trinity).

While Pagans have rights under Shariah law, if they live in an Islamic state they must either convert to Islam, and/or follow Islamic laws (i.e. they cant drink or commit adultery or sodomy in an islamic state, just as a Muslim can't), or leave, I think, from what I remember of the Islamic class I took like, 5 or 6 years ago--my apologies if my information is inaccurate in any way.

Assalamu Alaykium,

Below is my point view. I repeat my views as Muslim not Islam.


**From your faith perspective: what are the religious texts? How were they given from God to humans, or how do they get their authority from God? If there are different versions or translations, how are they different, if at all? Which do you follow, and why?

The religion text of Islam is the Holy Quran. The Quran was giving to Propeht Mohamed PBUH the last prophet send to mankind. The Quran is the one thing all Muslim need. It guides, protects, and improtantly educates Muslim. It teachs to true. It clears the path of true from lies. Which is why the Holy Quran does not havedifferent version. The holy Quran is written in Arabic and can't be change when others translated into different language for nonabrica speakers it clear states they did their best and the Holy Quran is the hardest text to translated. It can't be translated fully at least which why the true and the rightous path of Islam still shines throught the Quran.


**From your faith perspective: what is the nature of God? What are his characteristics? How does he interact with humans? What are his requirements of humans?

I will try my best to answer this one although i won't do good job on it. The nature of Allah or God is to guide mankind to worshipping Him along. Allah is Mercy and ever forgiving. Allah interacts with humans through the duas of humans and their praying during the five times in the day. Allah requires Human to worship him along, to ask help only him, to repent to him, tofollow the path Allah clearly paint for Human. To believe in his book, angels, prophets, and Him along.

In Islam every ones is first viewed as a Muslim until they reach certain age where they choose to become Kuffers or Nonbelievers or Stay Muslim. In the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet PBUH people of other religion are to be treated equally. They are to be left along and respect. Sadly in this world this is not the case, because we as Muslim forget that. We treat them like they treat us. All my unproffesional opinions.


W'alaykium Salaam

If someone asks you that, ask why Christians call Muslims infidels. Both are deragatory terms for people deemed "unbelievers."
