question about islam  and muslim religion  for christians?
825173
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.

GOOD QUESTION\n\nbecause, we invite you to believe in true teachings of Jesus. \n\nJesus never said "I am God", "worship me" or "i have come to die for the sins of mankind".\n\nsecondly,, yes we believe that all the prophets including jesus pbuh were sinless .\n\nand marrying is not a sin. several prophets of God get married.  We also believe that Jesus never murdered any innocent, never owned slaves, never made fun of black people. so as Prophet Muhammad pbuh.. read the truth about Muhammad pbuh >> www.muhammad.net\n\nbeing involve in politics is not bad or sin. although its beneficial for the mankind. and Islam includes the teachings of politics. and social justice. \n\nlet me clarify you one thing.. we dont worship KAABA.\n\nKaaba is the Qibla i.e. the direction Muslims face during their prayers. It is important to note that though Muslims face the Kaaba during prayers, they do not worship the Kaaba. Muslims worship and bow to none but Allah.\n\nIt is mentioned in Surah Baqarah:\n\n"We see the turning of thy face (for guidance) to the heavens: now shall We turn thee to a Qiblah that shall please thee. Turn then thy face in the direction of the Sacred Mosque: wherever ye are, turn your faces in that direction."           [Al-Qur’an 2:144] \n\n=====================\n\nYES AND ISLAM TOO SHUNS RACISM.\n\n"O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other.  Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you.  And Allah has full knowledge and is well-acquainted.  (The Noble Quran, 49:13)"\n\n\n================\n\nHOPE THIS ANSWERS.\n\n\nISLAM TAKES BACK US TO THE REAL JESUS WHOSE TEACHINGS ARE BEING INTERPOLATED WITH THE PASSAGE OF TIME.\n\n"And when God will say, `Jesus, son of Mary, didst thou say to men, `take me and my mother as gods, apart from God?' He will say, `Holy be Thou, it is not mine to say what I have no right to ; if I had said it, Thou wouldst have known it; Thou knowest what is in my mind, but I do not know what is in Thy mind; Thou art surely the All-knowing of the unseen things.  I did not say to them except what Thou didst command me: __ `serve God, my Lord and your Lord,' and I was a witness over them, so long as I remained among them; but when Thou didst take me, Thou Thyself wast the watcher over them; and Thou art a witness over all things.  (Quran 5:116-117)\n\n============================\n\nPEACE BE ON YOU\n\n\n\nEDIT >>>>>>>>>>>>>>\n****************************************\n\nXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\n\nSIS, YOU SAID > "you are incorrect. Jesus did announce He is God "\n\n"There is not a single unequivocal statement in the entire Bible where Jesus (peace be upon him) himself says, "I am God" or where he says, "worship me".\n\nI challenge, you will not find any statement where Jesus pbuh HIMSELF said "i am God"... i dont consider what paul , john or other people who wrote books decades after Jesus pbuh. \n\n\n=================\n\nYes i already said that Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon them both) never murdered any innocent people. The spread peace.  thats why we don't consider bible to be authentic. see below. \n\nMatthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth; I came not to send peace, but a sword. –Jesus, ..............................WE BELIEVE THAT JESUS CAME TO SPREAD PEACE.. I.E. ISLAM\n\nLuke 12:49-53  \nLuke 12:49  "I am come to send FIRE on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?\nLuke 12:50  But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!\nLuke 12:51  Suppose ye that I am come to give PEACE on earth? I tell you, NAY; but rather DIVISION." \nLuke 12:52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against t

Jesus in Islam\nIslam is a religion which requires belief in not only the Prophethood of Muhammad but all the prophets of God, including Jesus (Qur'an 2:137).\nThe Holy book of Islam, the Quran, relates in detail the story of Jesus, including his birth, mission as a Prophet to the Israelites, and his crucifixion. Muslims believe that this story is in harmony with the Bible too. Indeed, a whole chapter in the Qur'an is named after the mother of Jesus (Chapter 19 - Maryam).\n\nDivinity of Jesus\nIslam presents Jesus as a human who believed in the absolute Unity and Indivisibility of God (Qur'an 3:52). \n\nMuslims consider the doctrine of Divinity of Jesus and Trinity as later changes to the teachings of Jesus. The New Testament itself furnishes abundant evidence to show that Jesus was only a human being whom God chose for the reformation of His people, and repeatedly contradicts the Divinity of Jesus. Jesus always referred to himself as having been sent by God (John 17:3) and his followers, too, considered him a man approved by God (Qur'an 19:37; Acts 2:22, John 3:2). \n\nHe was undoubtedly called the son of God, but this title has only been employed metaphorically and in fact is used for all the chosen ones of God (Matt 5:9, Exodus 4:22). The literal connotation of 'son of God' as a Divine Being and hence the subsequent development of Trinity Dogma was the result of Hellenistic influences on Christianity as it spread in the Gentile world. The Semitic usage of 'son of God' was misunderstood and forgotten and disputes about the exact status of Jesus erupted, as recorded in the early Church history. \n\nJesus prayed to God like all other God-fearing individuals (Luke 5:16), and engaged in spiritual exercises such as fasting (Matt 4:2). Furthermore, Jesus lacked knowledge of the future (Mark 13:32), as only the Divine Being possesses perfect and complete knowledge.

Biblical Christianity. Islam was started by a man not God who was possesed by a demon while in a cave. Islam has it's roots in polytheism (worship of many gods). Muhammed picked his favorite (allah the moon god) and started a new religion. The quran is not a proven historically accurate book while the Bible has never been disproved by Science, History or Archaeology. Islam is a violent religion that seeks to make converts by any means and has no problems with killing people who don't agree (9/11). Even though Christian history has times where people did horrible things while calling themselves Christians (the inquisition) those who did such things were not true Christians becuase Biblical Christianity presents people with the truth that Jesus died for their sins and He is the only way to heaven. Believe in Him repent of your sins and He will forgive you and give you the gift of eternal life for free. Islam does not promise eternal life and does not offer it for free. Islam does not deal with people's sins and offers no way to be forgiven. Islam is false and I hope those who have been deceived by it's horrible teachings will come to find Jesus as their Savior so they can be forgiven of their sins.\n\nIn Islam the people have to do their best to reach a distant and unloving deity. In Christianity God in His love for His creation reached down to us by sending His Son so we wouldn't have to reach up to Him. He made the way for us.

Well first of all, answering-Islam.org is not exactly spot on about their Christian theology / history in places, so one should be careful about the Islamic theology / history that the site wrote themselves.  However, they do have a good collection of other people's works that are well vetted and scholarly.\n\nThey host The Original Sources of the Qur'an by W. St. Clair Tisdall which is a good book, if dated.\n\nAs a historian and a person with degrees in religion focusing on comparative religion, let me say this:  The Catholic/Orthodox Churches of Mohammed's time period considered Islam to be a Christian heresy and have enough sources and historical data to back this claim up.  (A Muslim might deny this, but it is a factual challenge to the origin of Islam and not an accusation without evidence)A good modern read before jumping into the historical primary sources would be to read the modern English historian Hilaire Belloc's "The Great Heresies" which you can read the pertinent chapter online here  \nhttp://www.ewtn.com/library/HOMELIBR/HERESY4.TXT\n\nI would also like to point out that Islam has since evolved and is its own religion by its own right and should not be considered a heresy of Christianity in its modern context.  Islam is no longer a synthesis of the beliefs of the 7th century Arabia but is its own contained theological systems that has moved far beyond its original sources.

The only One worthy of any type of worship in Islam is God. The Prophet Muhammad made sure that the believers understood this, and laid such laws from not depicting any prophet or creating statues of them, to declaring in the testament of faith that, in translation, There is only one God and He is God, Muhammad was his messenger. This prevented anyone from turning him into a god or a part of God.\nThis is pretty much the only major difference between Islam and Christianity, as Christians worship Jesus as God or as a part of God, while in Islam, it is forbidden for anyone or thing other than God to be worshipped.

It's interesting that you bring that up at a time Islam is attacked by Christians to be a violent religion, where as the verses they cite were revealed at a time of war. Unlike Christianity though the Quran NEVER condones the killing of women and children in any time or circumstance. As a Muslim and a believer of the gospel I don't believe that part was by God and was possibly put forth by the scribes.

http://members.iinet.net.au/~asmaazam/what_doyou_know.htm\n\nTHE RELIGION OF ISLAM The first thing that one should know and clearly understand about Islam is what the word \n\n"Islam" itself means. The religion of Islam is not named after a person as in the case of Christianity which was \n\nnamed after Jesus Christ, Buddhism after Gotama Buddha, Confucianism after Confucius, and Marxism after Karl Marx. \n\nNor was it named after a tribe like Judaism after the tribe of Judah and Hinduism after the Hindus. Islam is the \n\ntrue religion of "Allah" and as such, its name represents the central principle of Allah's "God's" religion; \n\nthe total submission to the will of Allah "God". The Arabic word "Islam" means the submission or surrender of one's \n\nwill to the only true god worthy of worship "Allah" and anyone who does so is termed a "Muslim",Islam is the \n\nreligion which was given to Adam, the first man and the first prophet of Allah, and it was the religion \n\nof all the prophets sent by Allah to mankind. The name of God's religion lslam was not decided upon by later \n\ngenerations of man. It was chosen by Allah Himself and clearly mentioned in His final revelation to man. In the \n\nfinal book of divine revelation, the Qur'aan, Allah states the following: "This day have I perfected your religion \n\nfor you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion". (Soorah Al-Maa'idah 5:3) "If \n\nanyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah (God) never will It be accepted of Him" (Soorah \n\nAal'imraan 3:85) "Abraham was not a Jew nor Christian; but an upright Muslim." (Soorah Aal'imraan 3:67)

Islam (Arabic: الإسلام; al-Islām) means "submission to the will of God". It is a monotheistic faith and the world's second-largest religion. Islam is considered an Abrahamic religion, along with Christianity and Judaism. Followers of Islam, known as Muslims, believe that God (Allāh in Arabic) revealed his divine word directly to humanity through many earlier prophets, and that Muhammad was the final prophet of Islam.

Sorry for butting in here I know the question was directed at Christians, I am not a religious person of any description, but just out of interest I have been reading the replies from the 'Christians'! Although I am not a Christian that doesn't mean that I know nothing about what being a Christian means! And most of the answers you have picked up here are complete rubbish.\nSo don't base your final assessment on the replies you have here .\nFirstly Allah is the title given to God by Muslims, they believe there is only one God.\nGod is the title applied by Christians they also believe there is only one God.\nJesus is believed in by Muslims as a great prophet, but not as the Son of God.\nJesus is believed in as God (as part of their Holy Trinity bit)by the Christians.\nAnd if any Christian has answered this question of yours differently then they are NOT Christians.\nBut deep down I think you know all this don't you? what are you up to??

ACTUALLY, YES they do.  They both originated from JUDAISM.  Christianity was founded by Christ who was a Jew.  His teachings he hoped would expound upon God's love and to clarify how he wanted us to live our lives.  Islam was founded by Mohammed (hope I spelled it right)  Mohammed created Islam in hopes of uniting the warring tribes into a single Arabic state through religion.  Mohammed after hearing many travelers from both of the aforemention religions claims to have been visited by the angel Gabriel and instructed to form Islam.  He did not "write" the koran as many people believe because he was illiterate.  however, after his dream/visit from the angel Gabriel, he dictated the religion to someone...\nThis is just a vague synopsis so look up more information on the history of the religions (not the practices).  I dont remember much because I took world history like two years ago but i did learn that they came from the same place...so what is all the fighting about?  extremists.  there are some people who interpret the koran one way and some who interpret another.  same with christianity.  some interpret one way and hundreds interpret it in other ways.

Some Basic Islamic Beliefs \nThe religion of Islam is the acceptance of and obedience to the teachings of God which He revealed to His last prophet, Muhammad .\n1) Belief in God:\nMuslims believe in one, unique, incomparable God, Who has no son nor partner, and that none has the right to be worshipped but Him alone.  He is the true God, and every other deity is false.  He has the most magnificent names and sublime perfect attributes.  No one shares His divinity, nor His attributes.  In the Quran, God describes Himself:\n\n Say, “He is God, the One.  God, to Whom the creatures turn for their needs.  He begets not, nor was He begotten, and there is none like Him.”  (Quran, 112:1-4)\nNo one has the right to be invoked, supplicated, prayed to, or shown any act of worship, but God alone.\nGod alone is the Almighty, the Creator, the Sovereign, and the Sustainer of everything in the whole universe.  He manages all affairs.  He stands in need of none of His creatures, and all His creatures depend on Him for all that they need.  He is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing, and the All-Knowing.  In a perfect manner, His knowledge encompasses all things, the open and the secret, and the public and the private.  He knows what has happened, what will happen, and how it will happen.  No affair occurs in the whole world except by His will.  Whatever He wills is, and whatever He does not will is not and will never be.  His will is above the will of all the creatures.  He has power over all things, and He is able to do everything.  He is the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, and the Most Beneficent.  In one of the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad , we are told that God is more merciful to His creatures than a mother to her child. God is far removed from injustice and tyranny.  He is All-Wise in all of His actions and decrees.  If someone wants something from God, he or she can ask God directly without asking anyone else to intercede with God for him or her.\nGod is not Jesus, and Jesus is not God. Even Jesus himself rejected this.  God has said in the Quran:\n Indeed, they have disbelieved who have said, “God is the Messiah (Jesus), son of Mary.”  The Messiah said, “Children of Israel, worship God, my Lord and your Lord.  Whoever associates partners in worship with God, then God has forbidden Paradise for him, and his home is the Fire (Hell).  For the wrongdoers, there will be no helpers.”  (Quran, 5:72)\n\nGod is not a trinity.  God has said in the Quran:\n Indeed, they disbelieve who say, “God is the third of three (in a trinity),” when there is no god but one God.  If they desist not from what they say, truly, a painful punishment will befall the disbelievers among them. Would they not rather repent to God and ask His forgiveness?  For God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.  The Messiah (Jesus), son of Mary, was no more than a messenger...  (Quran, 5:73-75)\nIslam rejects that God rested on the seventh day of the creation, that He wrestled with one of His angels, that He is an envious plotter against mankind, or that He is incarnate in any human being.  Islam also rejects the attribution of any human form to God. All of these are considered blasphemous.  God is the Exalted.  He is far removed from every imperfection.  He never becomes weary.  He does not become drowsy nor does he sleep.\nThe Arabic word Allah means God (the one and only true God who created the whole universe).  This word Allah is a name for God, which is used by Arabic speakers, both Arab Muslims and Arab Christians.  This word cannot be used to designate anything other than the one true God.  The Arabic word  Allah occurs in the Quran about 2700 times.  In Aramaic, a language related closely to Arabic and the language that Jesus habitually spoke, God is also referred to as Allah.\n2) Belief in the Angels:\nMuslims believe in the existence of the angels and that they are honored creatures.  The angels worship God alone, obey Him, and act only by His command.  Among

muslim don't know that Lord Jesus Christ is the Sons Of God, they thought that Son Of God will come as rich ppl. muslim follow their own teaching. They never know anything. Christian is that person knows that Son Of God has come 2 the world 2 die for our sins. What the bible say Isaiah 6:9 And he said, “go & tell this people: “keep on hearing, but don’t understand: keep on seeing, but don’t perceive.
