Christians, have you ever given Islam a chance? Have you really prayed to Allah for forgiveness?

Question

How about Vishnu?
Or Ahura Mazda?
If not, why would you expect others to do so with your god?

Answer 1

There is only one God that I pray to and it is through His Son Jesus who was the last prophet.

Answer 2

I've never prayed to Vishnu or Ahura Mazda but since Allah and Jehovah are the same God, I can say I've prayed to Allah.

I noticed some answers claiming that Allah is not real but claiming God is. It's sad to to think of how many of my fellow Christians are so incredibly ignorant of other religions (and our own) that they don't know that Muslims are descendants of Abraham just as the Jews are. The word Allah is arabic for God.

I don't subscribe to Islam or any of the other religions whose gods you mentioned, but I have studied them. As a theologian, that's my job. My choice to follow Christianity is a personal one and I would never expect those that follow other religions to pray to my God unless they've made their own personal choice to do so.

Answer 3

Whats the difference between god and
Allah? Its the same god..
The trick is the process of forgiveness..
One process is from a single prophet and
the other is a process from many prophets
of different times even before mohammed.

Answer 4

You're oversimplying. Were I to embrace Islam, I would have to accept Mohamed as God's prophet. Were I to embrace Buddhism, I would have to accept Buddha as a prophet of God. As a Christian, I only expect that if you CHOOSE to embrace the faith I practice, you must accept Christ is God's son and repent of your sins as a consequence. In any of these examples, it is the INDIVIDUAL who must embrace the belief.

Answer 5

I cant speak for others, but I dont pray to middle eastern this or middle eastern that god because I am sane. The "convinced" religious among us are insane and need to be lobotomised, as religions cause more war, suffering, separation and strife than anything else.

Answer 6

I didn't know i did. When did I get that expectation"? Thanks for informing; these atheists always seem to know what we think better than we do - or are they just as presumptuous and fatuous as an old high society matron. As far as how other religions approach the Supreme Being,that is their affair; I don't employ it,nor do I seek to interfere.

Answer 7

Why would I pray to something made up by Muhammad? I pray to God. I prayed to God before I read the quran too, which validated what I already knew... do not believe in islam.

God Bless.

Answer 8

Because my God tells me to put no other gods before Him. My God and His Word tells me that Jesus Christ forgives sin if we believe in Jesus Christ. Allah, Vishnu or Mazda have no part in me, because I belong to the Lord Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior.

Man can't serve two masters. I can't serve God and Allah.

Answer 9

Since you did bring up my name, I must respond to you.

I will

NEVER,

by the grace of God,

AND

my

CHOOSING

to make the Bible my

ONLY

recognized creed,

give Islam,

NOT

even a jot of a chance to be my faith. It is a dead and deadly, religion which has dragged countless millions in the past, are dragging countless millions, and will drag countless more millions into hell itself.

How can I follow such a dead and deadly religion? I follow the one who is alive forever more and has the keys of death and of hell. I have everlasting life and will continue living forever more after this body is dead and gone.

I have peace of mind, live sin free, have joy unspeakable and full of glory, have every one of my

NEEDS

net, and countless other of my

WANTS/DESIRES

granted. I

KNOW

and know in whom I have believed and am persuaded, that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto him.

Answer 10

Allah is not real. How can he forgive? Allah is a false god just like the others that you mentioned. You can be forgiven for worshiping false gods if you just ask. Jesus loves you.
