muslims only....?

Question

please be repectful

1) Do Muslims have a sin system? if so, do you need to repent, or just apaologize? will 1 sin send you to Hell? (note, ths isn't a Christian belief)

2) is there a significance behind the number 5, or was 5 just chosen for the prayer/bowing thing?

3) Do some Muslim groups (or sub-groups of Shia'ism/Sunnism) consider Christians their brethren?

4) do mUslims follow Christ's two commands (from the Bible): love the Lord your God with all your being; love your neighbour as yourself? (He went on to say all commands are summed up under these)

5) is it considered a heresy in Islam if one considers the Christian God and Allah to not be the same being?

thanks

Answer 1

My answer is by hinting, so that you can make the connection by yourself.

Permission for a Muslim man to beat his wife if she doesn't obey him:
Sura 4:34: “Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in their sleeping places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great.”

"Allah is the enemy of the unbelievers." - Sura 2:98

"Kill them [unbelievers] wherever you find them. Fight with them until there is no persecution, and religion should be only for Allah." - Sura 2:191- 193

"Fighting is enjoined on you, and it is an object of dislike to you; and it may be that you dislike a thing while it is good for you, and it may be that you love a thing while it is evil for you, and Allah knows, while you do not know." - Sura 2:216

"Surely the true religion with Allah is Islam and whoever disbelieves in the communications of Allah then surely Allah is quick in reckoning." - Sura 3:19

"Be not weak in pursuit of the enemy." - Sura 4:104

"If they reject your judgment, know that it is Allah's wish to scourge them for their sins." - Sura 5:49

"O you who believe (Muslims)! Do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whosoever among you takes them for a friend, then surely shall become one of their number; surely Allah does not guide (those Jewish and Christian) people." - Sura 5:51

"I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them." - Sura 8:12

And to sum it up, maybe.

Answer 2

1. Many things Christians believe is a sin, are also sinful in Islam. We repent during prayer. And no, 1 sin doesn't send you to Hell.

2. It was originally supposed to be 50 prayers, but through the Prophet Musa (Moses [pbuh]) Allah reduced the number to 5.

3. Personally, I consider Christians as brethren.

4. I follow Christ's (pbuh) commands and read the Bible as well.

5. Yes it is considered heresy, because there is only one God, Allah. Even if you think that the two religions worship different Gods, than that means you admit there is another being worthy of worship as Allah. This is Shirk, the one unforgivable sin.

As-salaamu alaykum - Peace be upon you

Answer 3

1) yes and im not sure

2)5 is the number of pillars of Islam, the basic tenets of the faith

3)the qur'an states that "people of the Book" ie jews and christians are indeed their bretheren and are to be respected

4)they translate differently, but the commands are there

5) Allah is just the arabic word for God. it comes from the hebrew word Elohim, which comes from the aramaic word El, all of which mean God.

the problem with these questions, as well meaning as they are, is that they miss a few major points about Islam (not intentionally im sure )
The purpose of Islam was to bring the word of the one God to arabic speaking people. When people say that the Qur'an has Bible stories wrong, this is technically an incorrect statement. The stories were translated into arabic, and any Qur'an that is read that is not printed in arabic is a translation from that. It's like a game of whisper down the lane. Also, the arabic that the qur'an is written in is VERY antiquated. It's like trying to read Beowulf in it's original language.

Sorry, this is just a very complex subject.

Answer 4

1) Sin system is not a quiz that if you make a mistake you'll fail. We repent and ask forgiveness. Allah says in Qur'an that He'll forgive unless you worship another one/thing but Him.

2) It's only a number, nothing special but when you look at their timings, they're all balanced in a day. And i always think that it's like thanking God that you are alive and you thank Him because again you have a new day to live, you saw the sun, the morning and thank Him( 1st prayer) , you saw the noon(2nd prayer), you saw afternoon(3rd prayer), you survived till eveing(4th prayer), and you are still alive and thanking God for the whole day because you saw the night (5th prayer)... It's just the way i feel about them :)

3) We're all the children of Adam we all are brother and sisters.

4) Prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him) says the same :)

5)Yes of course!

Thank you for your questions!

Be blessed

Answer 5

1) Yes. When one sins he mu st repent to God. The only sin God does not forgive if one dies upon it is worshipping something other than Him, as for sins other than that such as murder, adultery etc. if one dies upon them God may forgive them or punish them according to His Justice.

2) there is no significance of the number 5 except that God decreed that it would be the amount of the times we pray a day.

3) Some Muslims consider non-muslims to be their 'brethren' in humanity, yet not brethren in faith.

4)Yes Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) taught the same.

5) If what you mean by the Christian God as being Jesus, then it would be a heresy to believe that. But the idea that God the Creator who is usually referred to in the Bible as being the same as Allah is what we believe generally.

Answer 6

1. yes u need 2 repent sincerely n neva do dat sin again
Allah says in the quran tht He will pardon ne sins He wishes 2 except polyhteism
