What is the equivalent to a baptism in the Muslim religion?

Question

Christians have baptisms, Jews have the briss, what about muslims.

The bris and the baptism are similar a bit because they are both introductions to their own religion

Answer 1

It's interesting to see that so many people think they know so much about Islam. Actually, emotions do matter in Islam and God does love you. Muslims don't have the concept of original sin. Yes, Eve ate from the apple, but every person is judged on an individual basis and what she did has no effect on anyone else. Therefore, a baby can't be born with sin. So, there is no equivalent to baptism in Islam.

Answer 2

There are no "equivalents" in different religions. It's like apples and oranges.

The muslim faith has a TOTALLY and RADICALLY DIFFERENT VIEW of man's relationship with God. They're virtually incomparable. In Christianity, actions such as baptism are a sign of love and devotion to God. In Islam, emotions just don't matter. Allah doesn't love you and doesn't care. Muslims simply believe he is all powerful and all sovereign. Obey or else.

Answer 3

There is no such a thing in Islam. sorry to answer a question with a question but what is the point of baptism any way? I heard that it is to clean a baby's sin? But how does a baby born with a sin I have a difficulty understanding that if that is the reality behind it. SO why does a person need to be baptised to become a chrisitian?

Answer 4

There is no direct equivalent to Baptism. Muslim boys get circumcised like Jewish boys, so I suppose Muslims are more like Jews in this respect.

The only other thing I can think of is that to become a Muslim all you have to do is say this:

"I bear witness that there is no diety except God, and I bear witness that Muhammad is his slave and messenger"

Answer 5

One must peform Shahada infront of other Muslims

The shahadah (Arabic: شهادة šahādah[1]) is the Islamic creed. It means "to testify" or "to bear witness" in Arabic. The shahadah is the Muslim declaration of belief in the oneness of God and in Muhammad as his final prophet. Recitation of the shahadah is one of the Five Pillars of Islam for Muslims and is said daily.

Answer 6

In speaking on the terms of requirements, the Shahada is the first that you must profess with your tongue. Then other acts must follow within the pillars of Islam just depending; as there are different sects....some have more than 5.

Answer 7

There is non. And, in Judaism, the bris is nothing like, nor has any similarity to baptism.

Answer 8
