"Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name (NOT THE NAMES) of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit" (St. Matt. 28:20).\n\n\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.\n\n\nThe singleness of God's being and the multiplicity of the Divine Persons together account for the nature of Christian salvation, and disclose the gift of eternal life. "Through the Son we have access to the Father in one Spirit" (Ephesians 2:18). Communion with the Father is the goal of the Christian faith and is eternal life. It is given to humans through the Divine union with humanity in Jesus Christ who, although fully God, died for sinners "in the flesh" to accomplish their redemption, and this forgiveness, restoration, and friendship with God is made accessible through the gift to the Church of th

The Qur'an (Arabic القرآن al-qurʼān, literally "the recitation"; also called Al Qurʼān Al Karīm or "The Noble Qur'an"; also transliterated Quran, Koran, and less commonly Alcoran) is the holy book of Islam. Muslims believe that the Qur'an is the literal word of God in Arabic and the culmination of God's revelation to mankind, revealed to Muhammad, the final prophet of Islam, over a period of 23 years through the angel Jibril (Gabriel).

Absolutely not.  The Koran is as much God's word as the phone book is.  Both were written by men.  Allah is a false God and no on one in the civilized world gives a damn about Muslims anyway.  They have made NO impact on the spiritual growth or awareness of people on earth at all.

No one can know the mind of God, because I don’t think anything written in ANY religious book is from a divine source, it’s from people who were trying to control the status quo in whatever time it was written.  It had more to do with politics than it did worship.

Tell us a bit more about him.  Is he a prophet or a religious leader?  Is he the author of a religious book?\nThanks for the added info.  No, I can't say the name rings a bell.  Sorry and good luck.

MashaAllah, that's great stuff, I was amazed. But mathematics is too limited for a miracle of Allah (Swt). Besides the point of the Holy Quran is to guide us to the straight path, definitely not through mathematics. \n\nDon't get caught in the number 19 theory either, I warned you...salam\n\n:o))

lets be reasonable about Muhammad(PBUH)\n\n\nwhy should a man at his position make something from nothing? \n\n1) if you think he invented Islam ... what did he gain? ... Money? Wealth? ... for you information when prophet Muhammad(PBUH) had rule over all the arabian peninsula he had no money at all or sometimes no food ... anything that he gain from money or food he gave to the poor ... he died with no money to pass by his family ... he was a man with no wealth goals in his life except delivering his message properly to all mankind ... anyone that is thinking to invent a religon he would ofcourse thought by being rich or gain a certain position in his life ... but prophet Muhammad(PBUH) was totally different ... and he didnt announce himself as a god or something ... in the Qur'an it mentions always that he is an honoured servant just like us\n\n"And they say, 'The Merciful has taken a son.' Glory is to Him. Rather, they are slaves, honored." (Al-Anbiya', 26) \n\n\n2) prophet Muhammad(PBUH) didnt know how to write or read through his life ... he was no poet or magician ... so how do you think that Qur'an was written in this high sophisticated language and that prophecy of it?\n\n\n\n3) our prophet splitted the moon into two halves and that was one of his mircales beside others ... and recently NASA found those marks of the splitted moon.\n\n\n\n4) our God and prophet are true ... our prophet came beleiving with all the messengers and prophets before him ... he didnt make a new religon or came with anything new ... we are just following the Abrahamic religon ... and Islam was a conclusion of all the religons including the Holy books religon.\n\n\n......... much more to be listed

Comprehensive teaching on which, can be built sound systems of social justice, economics, politics, legislation, jurisprudence, law and international relations, are important contents of the Quran.

I believe it is very similiar to what is written the the bible.  I also believe that we are to only worship Allah, which is GOD! That is the point in this verse, this is what God states in his ten commandments given to the prophet Moses.  "Thou shall not worship any other Gods besides me" \nExodus 20:3 NIV\n\nI think people need to read the above verse again because I think they are missing the point.

I'm a Muslim (a convert from Christianity). \nFirst of all, the Qur'an does not claim to be the words of men (or a man), whether inspired or not. It claims to be the literal, word for word speech of God Himself, and offers evidence for it's claims. Secondly, it is perfectly preserved, through massive parallel chains of memorization passed on from generation to generation (a practice alive and well today - with tens or hundreds of thousands of Muslims around the world who have memorized the entire book), and in writing, since the time it was revealed.Even Christian and Jewish orientalists admit that it is uncorrupted.  \nThose who doubt the Qur'an claim it was written by Muhammad, but it is well known that he was illiterate, like the vast majority of people of Arabia at that time. What we do know about him is that he was known for his honesty and good conduct, to the extent that he was nicknamed 'Al-Amin' - the trustworthy, and called upon to arbitrate in the bitter disputes between the Arabs. A person does not spend the first forty years of his life gaining a reputation as an honest man, then suddenly begin to perpetrate the biggest lie in the history of mankind. We know that he kept away from idolatry, adultery and all the other evils of his time, and chose to worship only the God of Abraham, his forefather. Besides, how does an illiterate man compose what is acknowledged as the most beautiful work ever produced in the Arabic language ? Actually it goes further - the Qur'an challenges anyone to produce a chapter like it. The Arabs were excellent poets and knew how to use their language well, but none were able to match the depth, power and beauty of the Qur'an. This is not a subjective evaluation. Arabic is divided into 16 forms (called "bihar") - one for speech, one for poetry, and so on. The Qur'an fit into none of these forms. In other words, it was a completely new pattern, it defied linguistic classification, and at the same time moved men to tears, and sometimes to embrace Islam, merely upon hearing it's sublime words. This is just one aspect of the miracle of the Qur'an. It also contains explicit, precise prophecies which have come to pass, and information about scientific and natural phenomena, such as the development of the human embryo, which have only recently come to be known in the light of modern instrumentation and techniques. There is too much to mention on this topic, but you can find more at: http://thetruereligion.org/modules/wfsection/index.php?category=7

IN THE NAME OF ALLAH\nBecause\nIslam is the way of life for those who believe in God and want to live a life in worship and obedience to none but God. The reward is forgiveness from God and an everlasting life in the Heaven.\n\nBelief in one God, Allah in Arabic, constitutes the very foundation of Islam. There is no deity except Allah. He is indivisible and absolutely transcendent. God is the Almighty, the Creator and the Sustainer of the universe, Who is similar to nothing and nothing is comparable to Him. Worship and obedience belongs to Allah and Allah alone. Joining other gods with God is an unforgivable sin. Any one who joins other gods with God has strayed far, far away from the Truth.\n\nProphet Muhammad  was born in Makkah, a city in the present-day Saudi Arabia in 570 C.E.  He is a direct descendant of Prophet Ishmael, the first son of Prophet Abraham. Peace and blessings of God be on all His prophets. Muhammad received divine revelations (The Holy Quran) over a period of 23 years in the seventh century of the Christian Era. Muslims believe that he is the last Messenger sent by God for the guidance of mankind until the Day of Judgment. He is the model for humanity of all walks of life to follow until the Last Hour. God sent him as a mercy for the worlds.\n\nThe primary sources of knowledge are the Holy Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad. Anyone wanting to live a life in worship and obedience to God should follow these teachings. \n\n The Holy Quran (also written as Koran) is the Divine Book revealed to Muhammad (peace be on him). The Holy Quran confirms what was revealed to earlier messengers of God and serves as the Criterion of right and wrong. The Quran is the only divine Book extant in its original text and is therefore the only source of Guidance from God for all mankind.\n\nThe Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad  refers to his sayings and actions, his approvals and disapprovals. The Sunnah is collected in books separate from the Holy Quran and are known as Hadith books. While the Holy Quran is 100% word of God revealed to the Prophet, not every Hadith is authentic. Early Muslim scholars have classified hadith into various categories ranging from different levels of authenticity to false hadith.
