GODS CONCEPT IN ISLAM

The use of quote tags is required when pasting work from another source


The translation2 of Surah Ikhlas (Holy Qur'an 112:1-4) is:
Quote:


Say: "He is Allah, the One and Only! Allah, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not nor is He begotten. And there is none like unto Him"






MUSLIMS BELIEVE IN THE TAURAH, ZABOOR, INJEEL AND QUR’AN

Four revelations of Allah (swt) are mentioned by name in the Qur’an: the Taurah, the Zaboor, the Injeel and the Qur’an.

Taurah, the revelation i.e. the Wahi given to Moosa (a. s.) i.e. Moses (pbuh).
Zaboor, the revelation i.e. the Wahi given to Dawood (a.s.) i.e. David (pbuh).
Injeel, the revelation i.e. the Wahi given to Isa (A.S.) ie. Jesus (pbuh).
‘Al-Qur’an’, the last and final Wahi i.e. revelation given to the last and final Messenger Muhammad (pbuh).

It is an article of faith for every Muslim to believe in all the Prophets of God and all revelations of God. However, the present day Bible has the first five books of the Old Testament attributed to Moses and the Psalms attributed to David. Moreover the New Testament or the four Gospels of the New Testament are not the Taurah, the Zaboor or the Injeel, which the Qur’an refers to. These books of the present day Bible may partly contain the word of God but these books are certainly not the exact, accurate and complete revelations given to the prophets.

The Qur’an presents all the different prophets of Allah as belonging to one single brotherhood; all had a similar prophetic mission and the same basic message. Because of this, the fundamental teachings of the major faiths cannot be contradictory, even if there has been a considerable passage of time between the different prophetic missions, because the source of these missions was one: Almighty God, Allah. This is why the Qur’an says that the differences which exist between various religions are not the responsibility of the prophets, but of the followers of these prophets who forgot part of what they had been taught, and furthermore, misinterpreted and changed the scriptures. The Qur’an cannot therefore be seen as a scripture which competes with the teachings of Moses, Jesus and the other prophets. On the contrary, it confirms, completes and perfects the messages that they brought to their people.

Another name for the Qur’an is the ‘The Furqan’ which means the criteria to judge the right from the wrong, and it is on the basis of the Qur’an that we can decipher which part of the previous scriptures can be considered to be the word of God.

JESUS (PBUH) REFERRED AS RUHULLAH – A SPIRIT OF ALLAH

Jesus (pbuh) also never referred to as Ruhullah "a spirit of Allah" but as a spirit from Allah in Surah Nisa Chapter 4 verse 171

"O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: nor say of Allah aught but the truth. Jesus Christ the son of Mary was (no more than) a Messenger of Allah, And His Word, which He bestowed on Mary, and a Spirit proceeding from Him: so believe in Allah and His Messengers. Say not ‘Trinity’: desist: it will be better for you: for Allah is One God: glory be to Him: (Far Exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belong all things in the heavens and on earth. And enough is Allah as a Disposer of affairs."
[Al-Qur’an 4:171]

FAQ'S ON ISLAM
Porcelain Trainwreck
How do you draw the line at who is a prophet and who is a fraud? What about Baha'u'llah, who claimed to be the 12th imam? (or something.) Why isn't Jesus who he claimed to be? I hope some moslems can answer all the questions I will probably continue to pose, and realize that I am not flaming your religion, I am merely curious and perhaps trying to make you look deeper into it. The most pressing question on my mind about Islam at the moment: Why are the claims of Jesus (pbuh) discarded? If he was a prophet as you claim, was he able to lie about his message and still retain power from God?

Yes of course Muslims love to struggle !
there are many kinds of Jihad , the first jihad for Muslims is to become a good muslim... ( which is called "Jihad Bil Nafs")

Jihad's exact meaning is "to struggle for something" Idea
el sol
the Jihad that I mean is SUICIDE + HURTING OTHERS for the sake of Islam..this foolish action is very LOW!! thus, there is no need to speak of moral and kindness in the name of Islam..stop the Jihad and people will believe that Islam is a religion..not a cult.. Twisted Evil
