Are you a Muslim?  What do you think Christians should know about your faith?
115317
Among other things, as Al-Quran states:\n\n1. That in Islam, Christians are nearest in love to Muslims than the people of other faiths and that they believe and accept Prophet Muhammad s.a.w as the Last Messenger of God.\n\n5:82-86 (Al-Ma'idah) -\n\n'Verily, you will find the strongest among men in enmity to the believers (Muslims) the Jews and those who are Al-Mushrikun (idolaters, polytheists, pagans, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah), and you will find the nearest in love to the believers (Muslims) those who say: "We are Christians." That is because amongst them are priests and monks, and they are not proud.'\n\n'And when they (who call themselves Christians) listen to what has been sent down to the Messenger (Muhammad s.a.w), you see their eyes overflowing with tears because of the truth they have recognised. They say: "Our Lord! We believe; so write us down among the witnesses."'\n\n'"And why should we not believe in Allah and in that which has come to us of the truth (Islamic Monotheism)? And we wish that our Lord will admit us (in Paradise on the Day of Resurrection) along with the righteous people (Prophet Muhammad s.a.w and his Companions r.a)."'\n\n'So because of what they said, Allah rewarded them Gardens under which rivers flow (in Paradise), they will abide therein forever. Such is the reward of Al-Muhsinun (the good-doers).'\n\n'But those who disbelieved and denied Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc), they shall be the dwellers of the (Hell) Fire.'\n\n2. That Prophet Jesus a.s had told the coming of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w to his people.\n\n61:6 (As-Saff) -\n\n'And (remember) when 'Isa (Jesus) son of Maryam (Mary), said: "O Children of Israel! I am the Messenger of Allah unto you, confirming the Taurat (Torah) which came before me, and giving glad tidings of a Messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmad." But when he (Ahmad i.e. Muhammad s.a.w) came to them with clear proofs, they said: "This is plain magic."'\n\n3. That Prophet Jesus a.s told to worship Allah alone.\n\n43:63-64 (Az-Zukhruf) -\n\n'And when 'Isa (Jesus) came with (Our) clear Proofs, he said: "I have come to you with Al-Hikmah (Prophethood), and in order to make clear to you some of the (points) in which you differ. Therefore fear Allah and obey me.'\n\n'"Verily, Allah! He is my Lord (God) and your Lord (God). So worship Him (Alone). This is the (only) Straight Path (i.e. Allah's religion of true Islamic Monotheism)."\n\n4. That even though you don't believe in Islam, we are still friends.\n\n60:7-9 (Al-Mumtahanah) -\n\n'Perhaps Allah will make friendship between you and those whom you hold as enemies. And Allah has power (over all things), and Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.'\n\n'Allah does not forbid you to deal justly and kindly with those who fought not against you on account of your religion nor drove you out of your homes. Verily, Allah loves those who deal with equity.'\n\n'It is only as regards those who fought against you on account of religion, and have driven you out of your homes, and helped to drive you out, that Allah forbids you to befriend them. And whosoever will befriend them, then such are the Zalimun (wrongdoers).'\n\nIslam is Peace.\n\nAllah Knows Best

You must believe in God to be Christian or Muslim, as such belief is fundamental to both. Those that don't believe in God, or think they know the God of these two groups, making God a mere fancy of their own minds, can't be truly called Christian or Muslim. \n\n100% of true Christians, and Muslims believe in God, but most who claim to be either of those two, have an image of what God must be, or else they won't believe, and this is evidently different than what Mohammad and Jesus taught of God, so they are unbelievers in Their teaching. This is to be expected in some degree from everyone since no mind can contain God, but we seek what the allusions point to.\n\nSo in one sense there are no true believers in God, except God, as God is the only one that can contain God; and, on the other hand, all who are seeking affirmations from the dwelling place of God, which is God, are believers in as much is possible.\n\nIn sum we all believe in God as God is, but scantly could that belief be said to be even a fraction of a percent, compared to God's own belief/knowing of God.

Lesson #1:\n\nWho is Allah? What is Islam?\nWho are the Muslims?\nWhat do Muslims believe?\n How does one enter Islam?\n=========================================================\n\nWho is Allah? Allah is the creator. The only one. He created all around us in beauty and perfection. He begets not, nor was He begotten, And there is none comparable to him. Muslims use the word Allah in Arabic because it is a special word (it has no plural nor gender. Ie God, Godess, Gods), it means The only worthy of worship. Jesus (Pbuh) used a similar word in Arameic Ellah (or Allah) when referring to God.\n\n\nWhat is Islam? Islam is a way of Life "Not a religion". It is the path Choosen by God for all those who believe in him. Islam litterally means Submission.\n\nWho are the Muslims? The Muslims are the people who submit to God. In arabic the prefix Mu means that some action is taken, in english we use the postfix "er". In english you have the word walk, a person who walks is a Walker. Similarly In Arabic Muslim is the one who Submits his/her will to Allah.\n\n\nWhat do Muslims believe? In God (Allah)\nIn his Angels\nIn His Messengers (From Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, ..... Jesus to Muhammed, PBUT)\nIn his Books ( The Torah, The bible, The Quran, etc)\nIn the  Last Day\nIn divine Pre-destination (Everything happens for a reason)\n\nHow does one enter Islam? Simple bear witness by heart and by tongue that there is no God but God and Muhammed is his messenger! No special ceremony of any kind :)

I have many christian friends who married muslim men.  It is true that we revere Jesus and believe his birth to be a miracle of God.  If you want to stay Christian make sure you make that point very clear.  You can maintain your religion and your love for this man and have a wonderful family.  Please be warned: A muslim man can marry a christian or jewish woman- but his children must be Muslim.  These are things to think about, but if you love him and love God, then it can work. You just have to really sit down and talk to him about all of these things. Good luck to you! God bless.

I'm Catholic and my good friend is a Christian (protestant), and my other good friend is a Muslim, we all talk about our religions, and differences among them, but we still respect each others beliefs. I think the key is to learn how to listen, understand, and respect each other.

Position of Jesus (pbuh) in Islam: \n \n(i) \nIslam is the only non-Christian faith, which makes it an article of faith to believe in Jesus (pbuh). No Muslim is a Muslim if he does not believe in Jesus (pbuh). \n \n(ii)  \nWe believe that he was one of the mightiest Messengers of Allah (swt). \n \n(iii) \nWe believe that he was born miraculously, without any male intervention, which many modern day Christians do not believe. \n \n(iv)  \nWe believe he was the Messiah translated Christ (pbuh).\n \n \n(v)  \nWe believe that he gave life to the dead with God’s permission. \n \n(iv) \nWe believe that he healed those born blind, and the lepers with God’s permission. \n\n\nand regarding Mary \n\nProphet Muhammad pbuh said that Mary is the Greatest Woman of the Heaven(paradise) and the earth.\n\n\nQuran :\n[003:035]  Behold! a woman of 'Imran said: "O my Lord! I do dedicate unto Thee what is in my womb for Thy special service: So accept this of me: For Thou hearest and knowest all things."\n\n\n\n[003:036]  When she was delivered, she said: "O my Lord! Behold! I am delivered of a female child!"- and God knew best what she brought forth- "And no wise is the male Like the female. I have named her Mary, and I commend her and her offspring to Thy protection from the Evil One, the Rejected."\n\n[003:037]  Right graciously did her Lord accept her: He made her grow in purity and beauty: To the care of Zakariya was she assigned. Every time that he entered (Her) chamber to see her, He found her supplied with sustenance. He said: "O Mary! Whence (comes) this to you?" She said: "From God: for God Provides sustenance to whom He pleases without measure."\n\n[003:042]  Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! God hath chosen thee and purified thee- chosen thee above the women of all nations.\n\n[003:043]  "O Mary! worship Thy Lord devoutly: Prostrate thyself, and bow down (in prayer) with those who bow down."\n\n[003:044]  This is part of the tidings of the things unseen, which We reveal unto thee (O Apostle!) by inspiration: Thou wast not with them when they cast lots with arrows, as to which of them should be charged with the care of Mary: Nor wast thou with them when they disputed (the point). \n\n\n[003:045]  Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! God giveth thee glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honour in this world and the Hereafter and of (the company of) those nearest to God;\n\n[004:156]  That they rejected Faith; that they uttered against Mary a grave false charge;\n\n[004:157]  That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Apostle of God";- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) know ledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not.\n\nThere is a full chapter with name Mary in Quran, Jesus is mentioned in Quran 25 times.

There are a large number of people who have converted (or reverted as it's refered to by Islam), it is one of the fastest growing faiths presently.  Faith is something that is very personal, and specific to the individual.  If they feel that Christianity isn't the right mode to connect with their spirituality, then they most certainly should go forward and look for one that helps them connect better.  It's very easy to be disenchanted with Christianity right now, and Islam is presented as an alternative.  Do I think they are crazy, no.  It's not my place to call anyone crazy for their beliefs.  Everyone is entitled to do what gives them peace, regardless of my personal view of that thing.

This is the Christian faith.\nAny muslim can go to wikipedia and get all the information. I'm saving this answer so I can apply this to the next billion questions from muslims who keep asking the same thing over and over.\n\nMany Christians begin to learn about the Trinity through knowledge of Baptism. This is also a starting point for others in comprehending why the doctrine matters to so many Christians, even though the doctrine itself teaches that the being of God is beyond complete comprehension. The Apostles' Creed and the Nicene Creed are structured around profession of the Trinity, and are solemnly professed by converts to Christianity when they receive baptism, and in the Church's liturgy, particularly when celebrating the Eucharist. One or both of these creeds are often used as brief summations of Christian faith by mainstream denominations.\n\nOne God\nGod is one, and the Godhead a single being: The Hebrew Scriptures lift this one article of faith above others, and surround it with stern warnings against departure from this central issue of faith, and of faithfulness to the covenant God had made with them. "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD" (Deuteronomy 6:4) (the Shema), "Thou shalt have no other gods before me" (Deuteronomy 5:7) and, "Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel and his redeemer the LORD of hosts: I am the first and I am the last; and beside me there is no God." (Isaiah 44:6). Any formulation of an article of faith which does not insist that God is solitary, that divides worship between God and any other, or that imagines God coming into existence rather than being God eternally, is not capable of directing people toward the knowledge of God, according to the trinitarian understanding of the Old Testament. The same insistence is found in the New Testament: "...there is none other God but one" (1 Corinthians 8:4). The "other gods" warned against are therefore not gods at all, but substitutes for God, and so are, according to St. Paul, simply mythological or are demons.\n\nSo, in the trinitarian view, the common conception which thinks of the Father and Christ as two separate beings, is incorrect. The central, and crucial affirmation of Christian faith is that there is one savior, God, and one salvation, manifest in Jesus Christ, to which there is access only because of the Holy Spirit. The God of the Old is still the same as the God of the New. In Christianity, it is understood that statements about a solitary god are intended to distinguish the Hebraic understanding from the polytheistic view, which see divine power as shared by several separate beings, beings which can, and do, disagree and have conflicts with each other. The concept of Many comprising One is quite visible in the Gospel of John, chapter 17, verses 20 through 23.\n\nGod exists in three persons\n\nThe "Shield of the Trinity" or "Scutum Fidei" diagram of traditional Western Christian symbolism.This one God however exists in three persons, or in the Greek hypostases. God has but a single divine nature. Chalcedonians — Catholics, Orthodox, and Protestants — hold that, in addition, the Second Person of the Trinity — God the Son, Jesus — assumed human nature, so that he has two natures (and hence two wills), and is really and fully both true God and true human. In the Oriental Orthodox theology, the Chalcedonian formulation is rejected in favor of the position that the union of the two natures, though unconfused, births a third nature: redeemed humanity, the new creation.\n\nIn the Trinity, the Three are said to be co-equal and co-eternal, one in essence, nature, power, action, and will. However, as laid out in the Athanasian Creed, only the Father is unbegotten and non-proceeding. The Son is begotten from (or "generated by") the Father. The Spirit proceeds from the Father (or from the Father and through the Son — see filioque claus

I'm not Muslim, but nice story. The world would be a beautiful place if all Muslims would follow Him. Then again, the world would be a better place if all Christians would follow Jesus.\n\nPersonally, I would abolish all priests, give a Koran to each Muslim, Bible to Christians, and so on for all religions. It will be a diverse, beautiful world.

I am a Muslim...because i follow Isa/Jesus...\n\nQuran 2:136\nSay (O Muslims): We believe in Allah and that which is revealed unto us and that which was revealed unto Abraham...and Isaac, and Jacob, and the tribes, and that which Moses and Jesus received, and that which the prophets received from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and unto Him we have surrendered.\n\nhttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/bibletruths_forbelievers/

The majority may be Muslim, but I've met plenty of Christians, too, particularly among the Lebanese-American community. And the Christians I've met among them don't take too kindly to ignorant people constantly assuming that they're Muslim. They're Christian, and have been so for generations.
