Is Islam a "Smarter" religion than Christianity?

Answer 1

I o feel Muslims ask ''why?'' as to what and why they do. Knowing this gives them a more involved and spiritual meaning to what they believe.

I was raised a Christian. I'd ask 'why?'' and the answer was always , ''it is a miracle'', or ''just because'', and ''you just accept, it is''.
.

Oh-I am a Jew now.

Answer 2

I don't think you can call any religion smarter than the other. People from each religion will most likely claim that their religion is smarter, better, the right one. It's really a personal choice on which is smarter.

Answer 3

some guy answered "Squirm godless liberals, squirm".....what an ungodly statement to make. I am a woman of faith that believes Jesus talks more about love, peace and taking care of the poor...be that in spirit or in money or food than any other subject in the new testament. How do people make even religion about politics......God is bigger and greater than any political party. I think this is a poor question as smarter and more peaceful people come from all religions.

Answer 4

there isnt a smarter religion. everybody thinks that the religion they believe in is the better one, but they are all the same, just different believes, all of the religions are good in some ways, and bad in others, but its not about smartness, its about actually believing in it, and fallowing it

Answer 5

how do you mean? if you mean that it doesn't require intellect to accept Christianity than i agree.it is a religion of emotion not intellect.you cannot intellectually believe that 1+1+1=1.we all went to school.but you can emotionally..Islam on the other hand requires you to do your homework.it demands that you question it.it demands reflection,and then challenges you to find what most among mankind reject,and that is the truth from your Lord.

Answer 6

The original, unchanged revelations given to Abraham and other prophets(like Moses and Jesus ) reaching back to Adam all came from the One True God(The Creator). This common origin explains their similarities in many beliefs and values


However, over time the teachings of the various religions, due to a variety of reasons, have become distorted and mixed with made-man ideas.


The last Prophet and Messenger of God, Muhammad , who is a direct descendant of Abraham through his first born son, Ishmael, was sent with the Last Guidance, Revelation and Testament, the Holy Qur'an(koran) to amend and correct the changes and corruption made to the the "Torah" which was sent to Moses and theTrue Gospel of Jesus.To say the truth ,God preserved all the other Holy Books plainly by preserving His Last Book the Holy Qur'an(koran)which contains the right and the truth of all that was changed in those other Books.


This is why this last Revelation which was sent 1423 years ago has remained unchanged, not even a word or a letter has been altered.


There is not even one word of difference between two Arabic Qur'ans, anywhere in the world. There has been no disagreements in history among Muslims as to what should and should not be in the Qur'an. However, in the case of the Bible, even the most ancient manuscripts conflict with one another so that no two are identical. Footnotes in all modern versions of the Bible prove this fact.


These revisions serve as concrete proofs that all the Biblical books are not at all divinely inspired. This is because it is beyond man's ability to correct the work of his Creator, who alone is Almighty and perfect



It was only natural for Almighty God to preserve the scripture revealed to Prophet Muhammad, because he was the last Prophet and Final Messenger of God.


Islam teaches us that we must pray directly to God without an intermediary and no soul can bear the burden of another and that the nature of humanity is good, and we did not inherit sin from Adam. Each soul comes into being free of sin.in Islam there are no priests or clergy -- each worshipper, man or woman, has a direct relationship with their Merciful Creator -- Almighty God. Since God is the Owner and Sustainer of everything, as well as the only one who can provide true and complete forgiveness, it is completely futile to try to approach Him through anyone else.


The oneness and universality of God's message requires that people accept all the messengers of God. Rejecting one of them amounts to rejecting them all. The Jews reject Jesus's mission and Muhammad's mission; the Christians reject Muhammad's mission; whereas the Muslims accept them all, but reject incorrect historical interpretations and human elements in these missions.


As the Qur'an is the final revelation and Muhammad is the final prophet, humanity is obligated to accept it: "If anyone desires a religion other than Islam, never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost all spiritual good" (3:86).


The Final Prophet Muhammad said: "Whoever believes there is no god but God, alone without partner, that Muhammad is His messenger, that Jesus is messenger of God, and that Paradise and Hell are true, shall be received by God into Heaven."


you can do that now as you are reading these lines is to pronounce the two confirmations and attestations of faith, here it is




I BEAR WITNESS THAT THERE IS NO GOD WORTHY OF WORSHIP EXCEPT ALLAH ( ARABIC WORD MEANS ONE GOD-THE CREATOR). AND I BEAR WITNESS THAT MUHAMMAD IS HIS SERVANT AND MESSENGER. I BEAR WITNESS THAT JESUS IS HIS SERVANT AND MESSENGER.



The right picture of lslam is conveyed in the Qur'an, which is exemplified by Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. The reality is that it is not fair to judge a religion by the actions of its followers alone because there are good and bad followers in every religion. The correct thing to do is to judge a religion by its documented revelation from God and the prophet who brought that revelation.

I encourage Christians and other religions to learn about Islam from Muslim sources and The Basis Of The Muslim Belief and not rely on second hand information which in many cases is distorted or contains a deep seated anti Muslim agenda. This is indeed a more scholarly approach

Answer 7

No, but I'd like to see a World Cup soccer tournament divided by religion. Wonder who'd win that?

Answer 8

No on the contrary, Islam has a much more simple Creed.

Christianity is more complex and takes a lot more effort to understand.
IMHO

Answer 9

I don't think we're in a position to judge that but I say both are good religions as long as they make people happy and not harm others.

Answer 10

It is the true religion, christianity has been fictionized while the Quran has not changed one bit
