If a Muslim is asked, what must you do to be saved,what do you think they will answer??

Question

God has offered christianity a plan of redemption and it works excellently and logically. What has the muslims on their side in the matter of the process of ensuring their certainity to the kind of salvation their "God" has for them? To them, its just total surrender. I can do that but if I have offended and sin against God, who is holy, can I come to him and ask Him to pardon my sin verbally and He in return say, you have done other good deeds and, thus, "I pardon you". That simple? Is that the character of God? Is sin not obnoxious? We can't tell God we're sorry today and sin against Him tomorrow and He continues to pardon us. The Koran is ignorant of the nature of sins and the consequences; it offers, instead, an easy route to salvation through good works. The God we know is not dependent upon one's good work but upon the acceptance of Jesus Christ by hearing(His teachings) believing Him, repenting of one's sins, confess that He is the Son of the Living God(His Diety) and bebaptize.

Answer 1

Sorry mate, I disagree with your assumption that what Christianity has to offer "works excellently and logically".

Trinity, Blood Redemption, Crucifixtion, Orginal Sin, Jesus (p) is God's son, Mary (p) is the mother of God, Jesus is divine, are NOT what the Muslims consider excellent or logical. We consider this perverse and an insult to God.

Now for the Islamic way of salvation:

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
1. By the Time,
2. Verily Man is in loss,
3. Except such as have Faith, and do righteous deeds, and (join together) in the mutual enjoining of Truth, and of Patience and Constancy.

Faith: Belief in
1 One God
2 His Prophets
3 His Revelations
4 His Angels
5 Divine Decree
6 Day of Judgement

Righteous deeds:
1. Declare that there is no God except Allah and Muhammed is His Final Messenger.
2. Pray five times a day
3. Pay annual charity to the poor
4. Fast in the month of Ramadan
5. Perform the pilgrimage to Makkah atleast once in your lifetime if you can afford it.

To speak the turth of this and be patient about it.

Now this is what GOD says is the path to salvation. It is not for you to decide and declare.

May Allah guide you. Seems like you really need it.

Answer 2

This isn't a question, it's a lecture. If you want to evangelize, form a church.
Everyone sins, and everyone asks for forgiveness. In Christianity, you believe that you can kill a million people and "truly" repent at the very last moment and go straight to heaven. It's not so in Islam. In Islam, your deeds DO count. Because without people helping eachother, the world is empty. In Islam, when you die, you will have to account for all your actions, and you will be punished accordingly for the wrong ones (or Allah can choose to forgive you). According to your little lecture, Islam is a more humane religion, because it actually cares about people's actions, rather than solely based on belief.

You know NOTHING about Islam. Don't be a google scholar, read the Quran for once. Talk to people who actually know about Islam, not internet trolls.

Answer 3

Firstly, what makes you so sure that Christianity's so-called God's "plan of redemption" "works excellently and logically". Do you have any proof from the dead on this?

Secondly, in Islam, only God can forgive. No human being is capable of doing that.

Thirdly, how can you say "The Koran (Qur'an) is ignorant of the nature of sins and the consequences" when it is from your Lord, the One and Only True God?

Answer 4

What logical plan of redemption has christianity offered?
Honestly tell me. Cuz i don't know. If I've sinned shall I go to a priest and tell him by sins? Will that redeem me? To tell someone other than God, who knows what I've done, that I've sinned? Then should this priest tell me to say a couple of prayers here and there, then I'll be saved????
Having water sprayed on me, that'll save me???
How is any of this logical??????

Islam is very clear about what will save a person from Hell. It is to believe that there is only one GOD and that Muhammed (PBUH) is HIS messenger. Everything else comes after that. God is very clear. The salvation you are offering is for me to believe in Jesus-who is not GOD!!!

Answer 5

I think they wil tell you that they have to obey the 5 pillars of Islam, and try to live a good and moral life. But at the end of it, it is still Allah's will whether they can go to paradise or not. The assurance of salvation element is not there for the Muslim. The only exception would be death in the cause of jihad where the martyrs go straight to paradise.

Answer 6

I think if we spend less time thinking of ways to condemn others there would be less animosity in the world.

Answer 7

How about the part that says don't judge your fellow man.
