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

Religion does divide people they use god as an excuse to make people think the way they do. Faith and belief does bring people together but only to make a religion.

Well, the ancient Israelites practiced religion, right? The religion that God gave them, right? Was there anything wrong with that? Did it divide them or unite them? It united them, yes?

Religion, fundamentally speaking, is merely a form of worship which includes a system of religious attitudes, beliefs and practices. It may be true, it may be false. But it is not inherently bad.

Matthew 12:25 "A house divided will fall"
If the people of God cannot work together, even though they may not agree on every dogmatic point, religion is a house divided.

Common beliefs bring us together, different beliefs drive us apart.

Religion only puts believers of the same thing in the same room.

Religions are institutions, patriarchal and exclusivist. the yank indians used to assert One Earth One Moon One people, if shall we come from our Oneness, shall we've peace on earth. Religions coach us that we are inferior, born in sin, in want of saving, and that we are break away one yet another. and that they've not finished their interest, if that they had it could be obtrusive as international peace. I actual have even come to think of the bible is stuffed with numerology and shamic rituals, that front people into believing it. only study the section written in purple what Jesus supposedly stated, and notice the way it impacts you. however the nice and comfortable button is in there too, you shall understand the reality and the reality shall set you loose, that they made all of it up, and you're loose from the tyranny of religion. If mankind keeps to be caught, and does no longer evolve spiritually, it might desire to nicely bring about the extinction of our species.

I say ban belief in god and all religions. That way people will have no false hopes of someone taking care of them and they will begin to work together.

Belief about what?..depends, we're all different, and because we have different culture, and we were educated also differently we don't agree totally. I think religion is about personal satisfaction, it helps you to feel whole. Belief is what brings us together :)

I think it makes sense because there are so many political aspects to various churches that they tend to not associate with each other. the one thing they do have in common is the belief in god.

Religion is the justice towards God. The devil is responsible for division among us as we are not strong enough to see this
