Answer 1

You are definitely wrong. Are the atheists, pagans and satanists and the Christians and Jews have used books during their studies in school? All of us have used books.

Their are many kinds of books, like religious books, science book, English of of knowledge, math book dictionary book animal books and many other books.

You are completely mistaken.It is only now that we are not using book but we are using the computer at the Internet, so have communication through yahoo.

Yes the atheists, pagans and satanists are infidel people
but christians are not people of the book becaue we are all bookies.

Answer 2

What "the book" defines as Infidels and how the Muslims use the word seem to be different. Basically, from my experience in Iraq, the word simply means all those not Muslim are Infidel. The devout Muslims I've met believed it was their duty to not tolerate any Infidel. They believed that Islam was the ultimate truth and if you couldn't see that, well, you didn't deserve to live. However!

Islam is NOT the ultimate truth and it never has been and never will be. Islam is at the core of political unrest throughout the world. The fact that someone would cut someone's head off while praising Allah is astounding!!! Or planting mines in a playground used by young children! Also astounding!!! These are anti-Islamic things I suppose, but certainly things I experienced in Iraq as routine occurrences by people professing to be highly devoted to the teachings of Islam.

A religion of love and acceptance? Not from what I've seen!!!

There are a number of people addressed in Islam. Islam means the submission of your will to the Creator of all. With it comes belief in His messengers, angels, books, hereafter and fate. Since God has already sent messengers before Islam, saying pretty much the same thing: worship God alone, and do good to each other. Those who have lived and continue to live on this straight and true path, are bound for heaven with Gods grace. Those who have never heard of any of the messengers. are judged solely on the amount of wrong and right they know and acted upon on earth. There are those who follow the Book like Christians and Jews and they are also protected by Gods Mercy given that they do not hold beliefs that are contrary to worshipping a single Creator. Infidels, is a term reserved for those who have heard about the message of Islam FULLY and still chose to reject it. They would be rejecting on the expense of their own good here and in the hereafter. There is a huge difference between a person who is an infidel and a person who is non-muslim. Non muslims are all those people who do NOT adhere to the Original doctrine of Abraham and Moses and Jesus and Muhammad. and is a broader term. Whereas infidels are people who have purposefully rejected the faith, and work towards hurting it. They basically wage war on the teaching that there is one God and He is the Ruler of all. So God will not have mercy on them on the judgement day. But these are people who lack even the slightest bit of faith in God. And very few people exist that way. Islamic law does not judge faith, it judges actions.

Answer 4

because they deny God in His real manifestion and associates ghost with God.

1. Allah (SWT) 'God' is only 'One', has no partner or son, and neither gives birth, nor is He born. He is eternally besought by all and has no beginning or end, and none is equal to Him (Holy Quran example)
2. He is the Merciful and the Compassionate, the Guardian and the True Guide, the Just and the Supreme Lord, the Creator and the Watchful, the First and the Last, the Knowing and the Wise, the Hearing, and the Aware, the Witness and the Glorious, the Able and ' the Powerful. (Holy Quran example).
3. He is the Loving and the Provider, the Generous and the Benevolent, the Rich and the Independent, the Forgiving and the Clement, the Patient and the Appreciative, the Unique and the Protector, the Judge and the Peace. (Holy Quran example). The question of Allah's (SWT) 'God' existence has preoccupied men's minds for many centuries. Those who believe in Allah (SWT) 'God' seem to agree that the limited finite human intelligence cannot prove the existence of the infinite boundless of Allah (SWT) 'God'. It can only illustrate or demonstrate his existence to the satisfaction of the curious human mind.
Those who deny Allah's (SWT) 'God' claim to rely on science, philosophy, or special theories of knowledge. Their arguments are sometimes inapplicable, sometimes irrelevant, always complex, and often incomprehensible. However, the developed mind will find its way to Allah (SWT) 'God'. Failure to find the way does not mean that there is no way. Denial of reality does not make it unreal.

Answer 5

Infidel in Islam refers to people of a religion that is not Judaism, Christianity, or Islam. So an infidel is somebody who is not of a monotheistic religion so not of one of the three of the Abrahamic religions. The word abrahamic is of islamic origin anyway, referring to the three monotheistic religions as a group. Christians and Jews are referred to as 'people of the book' in the Qu'ran.

Answer 6

It means that you are guilty of infidelity. Unfaithful to your spouse or to a particular religion.
