ISLAM? What do you know about it?

Answer 1

The word "Islam" is an Arabic word which means "submission to the will of God". This word comes from the same root as the Arabic word "salam", which means "peace". As such, the religion of Islam teaches that in order to achieve true peace of mind and surety of heart, one must submit to God and live according to His Divinely revealed Law. The most important truth that God revealed to mankind is that there is nothing divine or worthy of being worshipped except for Almighty God, thus all human beings should submit to Him. The word "Muslim" means one who submits to the will of God, regardless of their race, nationality or ethnic background. Being a Muslim entails willful submission and active obedience to God, and living in accordance with His message. Some people mistakenly believe that Islam is just a religion for Arabs, but nothing could be further from the truth. Not only are there converts to Islam in every corner of the world, especially in England and America, but by taking a look at the Muslim World from Bosnia to Nigeria, and from Indonesia to Morocco, one can clearly see that Muslims come from many various races, ethnic groups and nationalities. It is also interesting to note that in actuality, more than 80% of all Muslims are not Arabs - there are more Muslims in Indonesia than in the whole Arab World! So though even though it is true that most Arabs are Muslims, the large majority of Muslims are not Arabs. However, anyone who submits completely to God and worships Him alone is a Muslim.

Answer 2

It is a Cult started by a false Prophet.

It mixes the heretical teachings that were around then with the Old Testament.

Muhammad did not follow his own teachings and seems he made up things along the way to justify things he wanted. (15 wives, etc.)

It is geared toward men, no matter how much they say women are treated well in Islam (and I am sure many actually are) the bases of the faith is for the glory of men, they are allowed 4 wives and also able to sleep with their servants. Men chose who their wives can be friends with etc.....

Jesus is the perfect example and the new testament to ALL people.

I know many Muslims that are really good people, I do not hate Muslims, I just believe they are mis-led.

Peace, and God Bless you!

Answer 4

What does this mean:


[Pickthal 47:4] Now when ye meet in battle those who disbelieve, then it is smiting of the necks until, when ye have routed them, then making fast of bonds; and afterward either grace or ransom till the war lay down its burdens. That (is the ordinance). And if Allah willed He could have punished them (without you) but (thus it is ordained) that He may try some of you by means of others. And those who are slain in the way of Allah, He rendereth not their actions vain.
[Pickthal 47:5] He will guide them and improve their state,
[Pickthal 47:6] And bring them in unto the Garden which He hath made known to them.
[Pickthal 47:7] O ye who believe! If ye help Allah, He will help you and will make your foothold firm.


Why would you kill people? Is the Islamic god really Just?


This is what the bible said:


Deuteronomy 32:34-36 (King James Version)

34Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures?

35To me belongeth vengeance and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.

36For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left.


What is the difference?

Answer 5

It shares books/chapters from the Torah so it has Jewish influence. It treats women like dogs, much like the Jews. And Islam is not very old in terms of the length human civilization has existed.

And it seems Islam is bent on destroying Imperialism, which may or may not be a bad thing.

Answer 6

I am very tired of people asking this. Why do you ask when you KNOW you're gonna get:

people dissing Islam, people telling you you're gonna go to hell, people telling you to learn about Christianity instead, people dissing people who diss Islam.

Go read the source. That's generally where all knowledge of a subject, any subject is found. You wanna learn abotu Islam, go read the Quran.

I read an English translation of the Koran

it is not much different than the type of Christianity my ancestors brought from central Europe
