I am a muslim and believe in Allah and his teachings to mankind and according to Allah , If I am a saved muslim I will enter heavan and enjoy paradise.
I find it funny that christians will say " Unless you accept Jesus as your savior you WILL NOT enter heavan"
Well Christians according to Islam unless you confess that Allah is God and Muhammed is his messenger you will not go to heavan.
Allah is great in all he does. He sees all and knows all.
I am just glad I am going to heavan. I pray to Allah everyday and he is glorious in everyway. He is merciful and peaceful and loves you too.
So christians I am going to treat you the way you treat other people. Unless you give up your false beliefs and confess that there is only one god and muhammed is his prophet, you will NEVER go to heavan.
May Allah Give us all his blessings and his forgiveness.

Well, not to sound pretentious, but God did. Let me explain - if what we believe, our interpretations of our scripture are correct, then it isn't our opinion that Jesus is the only way to heaven, it's fact passed down from the Word of God. Likewise, if you are right, then we will be prevented from our ascension to heaven. Our faiths are mutually exclusive.
Keep in mind, I'm not trying to disrespect you or your faith, and I would like to apologize if anyone has disrespected you in the name of Christ. From what I understand (correct me if I'm wrong), Islam teaches that Jesus of Nazareth was not God incarnate, and that it is against God's nature to ever inhabit a carnal form. Christianity is based on the belief that Jesus was God in the form of man, and died as both man and God to pay for our sins. Therefore, it is not personal opinion, but a fact of my faith that yours, and any faith that contradicts it, cannot be correct.
I very strongly believe that this does not mean that we cannot be civil to each other, and I don't agree with the forceful methods taken by the Church in the name of God in the past (if it is any consolation, various churches have come forward and repented of atrocities done in their past, such as the Catholic Crusades and the Southern Baptist support of segregation). However, it would be irresponsible if we knew the truth and did not share it.

I implore all of us to make a decision that we all must live on this Plant Earth, we must all respect each other's beliefs, and must look at a Universal-type law system where those living on Earth must adhere to or those POLITICIANS ONLY must face the consequences of the remainder of the nations.
Listen, we are all good people wanting to grow and go to heaven, reach enlightenment, nirvana, etc. and we must come to our senses that we must have compassion in order to accomplish this.
These religions are all ancient, some moreso, and those who worship must also realize that free will is something you make a choice to do, and be accountable for the decisions you make. Those who wrote these texts were regarded highly DURING THIS TIME PERIOD. Times change, the earth changes, our attitude changes.
I challenge each of us, for the sake of humanity, to stop trying to be RIGHT, but rather, make the decison of your own free will, to start becoming and practicing compassion, with ourselves, and others around us. We are all connected as the human race, being here to face this time of turmoil that is becoming our history, and we have the power, as the common/regular people who believe in a better way to end conflict and establish peace throughout the world. I wish this for humankind.

We live in a believing world. We do not all worship in the same way, but some form of religious faith is followed by millions of different people all over the world. Naturally, peoples beliefs and faiths affect their attitudes and actions. The history of the worlds different religions has often affected the history of nations themselves. Until we learn to respect each others beliefs, we are always gonna have religious conflicts.

Dear sir, as a Christian I respect your faith, but I cannot deny mine. There is a deep abiding desire, will, purpose and understanding of a God who loves me, and it goes down to the very root of my soul; grafted into my very being. A creature is designed to know it's creator, and I know my Creator thus.
I have no doubt that what some Christians, evangelists and others say may offend you, but are they not trying to spread the love and peace they've found, just like you?
Respects,
H.L.R.

"To you your religion, and to me mine". - Sura Al-Khaffirun
Are you a Muslim?
If so then you know that the Holy Quran taught us tolerance for other people's beliefs (particularly the Christians or followers of the Injeel).
Each individual has a right to follow his or her religion. However, no one has a right to force anyone to worship or believe in another's religion. Whether Muslim to Christian and vice-versa.
Muslims and Christians do not have the right to insult one another's religion for that incites discord and war.
So, leave them to their worship and let's worship what we believe. Should they say anything derogatory about our belief, then let us greet them in peace and explain to them the errors of their beliefs. If they wish to threaten us with bodily harm and death, then let us only defend ourselves as it is written in the Holy Quran and as it is willed by Allah (SWT).
Peace. Ramadan Mubarak.

here's a tip lets all just keep to our CHOSEN religions and be happy that we live in a country where we are free to worship whomever or whatever we want to! quit trying to play whose religion is best. why does everyone on yahoo answers do this!?
of course you believe that unless you confess that "allah is god" you wont go to heaven, just like i believe that unless i believe and trust in my lord Jesus Christ i wont go to heaven. no one knows who is right or wrong. be thankful that you can worship as you wish!

Every religious person thinks theirs is the only way. Thankfully, there are people who have tolerance and who are respectful of the beliefs of others. Instead of preaching that others are wrong, why not focus on your religion and your own path.

Should this not be in the religious thread?
We (Christians) and Muslims worship the same god, its true
Jews and Christians are descendent from Abraham’s son’s Isaac
Muslims are descendent of Abraham’s son Ishmael

The bible says that Unless you accept Jesus as your savior you will not enter heaven. Jesus would not tell you to bomb yourself to show others a lesson, he tells you to pray for those that prosecute you. He also tells you to loves your enemies. GOD bless you and ask Jesus for Forgiveness.
