Islam and Christianity
ISLAM AND CHRISTIANITY This book is written in the nature of a “key” for those Muslim brothers of ours who have just a smattering of knowledge on how the Islamic religion has developed, and it has been written for those non-Muslims willing to know the fundamentals of Islam. Islam, the most up-to-date and the most immaculate of the world’s existing religions, is based upon very humane and very logical principles. Without going into details, this book touches upon the fundamentals of Islam and makes a comparison of Islam with other religions. It answers criticisms raised against Islam by its adversaries and explains as compendiously as possible the qualifications essential for being a good Muslim. For those who would like to read valuable books on Islam written by Islamic scholars (rahimahumullâhu ta’âlâ) after learning the facts contained in this book, we advise that they read books published in different languages by the Hakîkat Kitabevi (Bookstore) in Istanbul. The names of these books are appended to our books. Read this book slowly and with reflection! Encourage others to read it, too! An ignorant person cannot be a good Muslim. Indeed, it is impossible for a person not to attach all his heart to Islam after learning its fundamentals. After reading this book, you will also realize what a lofty, sacred, logical, and perfect religion Islam is, and you will attach all your heart and soul to it in order to attain salvation and repose in this world and in the hereafter. Islam that abrogated celestial religions of Judaism and Christianity along with their validity is explained first. That Qur’an-ı Karîm is word of Allah; miracles of Muhammad ׳alayhissalâm, his virtues, moral practices and habits; how to be a true Muslim; a comparison of Islam and Christianity; that Muslims are scientifically powerful; are explained next.

learned from the Qur’ân al-kerîm [1] <strong>and</strong> practised by holding fast to<br />
its lightsome principles though they do not believe in it. Our<br />
religion repeatedly comm<strong>and</strong>s to work, to be honest, to have<br />
determination, <strong>and</strong> to learn everything; those who neglect this<br />
comm<strong>and</strong>ment will no doubt incur the wrath of Allâhu ta’âlâ. In<br />
fact, Muslims are lagging behind not because they are not<br />
Christians, but because they are not true Muslims.<br />
As you see, the Japanese people are not Christians, but they<br />
have surpassed the Germans, in optics, <strong>and</strong> the Americans, in the<br />
automobile technology, owing to the emulative ardour,<br />
determination to work, <strong>and</strong> integrity comm<strong>and</strong>ed in the Qur’ân alkerîm.<br />
In 1985, to the amazement of the entire wold, five <strong>and</strong> a half<br />
million cars were made in Japan. The Japanese people are living in<br />
welfare. Japan is well ahead of the world in the electronics industry,<br />
too. Each of us has a calculator in our homes. I wonder what the<br />
mendacious missionaries will say about this? Do all the so many<br />
Japanese bicycles, Japanese microscopes, Japanese typewriters,<br />
Japanese telescopes <strong>and</strong> Japanese cameras, which cover the entire<br />
world, have anything to do with <strong>Christianity</strong>?<br />
We shall come back to this subject later <strong>and</strong> contemplate once<br />
again the obligations that a true Muslim has to fulfill today.<br />
Dear readers! You have seen today’s Holy Bible. We have<br />
done a brief scan of that book before your eyes. Now the turn<br />
comes for the Qur’ân al-kerîm, the Holy Book of our religion. We<br />
shall study it together, objectively again. When this study of ours is<br />
over, you, too, will see once again in full clarity which book is the<br />
true Word of Allah.<br />
Revelations to Prophets were hundred <strong>and</strong> four Messages,<br />
Four of which were Books, <strong>and</strong> a hundred are called Pages.<br />
Zebûr [2] He gave to Dâwûd, [3] <strong>and</strong> to Mûsâ [4] was revealed the Torah;<br />
Afterwards Jebrâîl [5] took the Injîl [6] to Îsâ, [7] wallah. [8]<br />
[1] or from the few Christians who examined the Qur’ân al-kerîm or the<br />
works of <strong>Islam</strong>ic scholars, who, it goes without saying, had an<br />
education based on the Qur’ân al-kerîm <strong>and</strong> wrote their books in the<br />
light of the Qur’ân al-kerîm.<br />
[2] The Holy Book revealed to Dâwûd (David) ‘alaihis-salâm’<br />
[3] The Prophet David ‘alaihis-salâm’.<br />
[4] The Prophet Moses ‘alaihis-salâm’.<br />
[5] The Archangel Gabriel ‘alaihis-salâm’.<br />
