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.

And doing all those experimentations requires reading for years,<br />

establishing huge laboratories, <strong>and</strong> preparing <strong>and</strong> using delicate<br />

instruments.”<br />

Then, is it something conceivable that a person who had not<br />

learned anything <strong>and</strong> who had grown up in a vulgarly ignorant<br />

society should have discovered <strong>and</strong> propounded such tremendous<br />

scientific facts on his own? Of course, not. Then, it is impossible<br />

to accept the allegation that the Qur’ân al-kerîm was written by<br />

Muhammad ‘alaihis-salâm’. A book that announced to us<br />

fourteen hundred years ago today’s facts which have been<br />

obtained after long, painstaking endeavours can only be the<br />

BOOK of ALLÂHU TA’ÂLÂ. Human beings cannot have such<br />

stupendous power. ALLÂHU TA’ÂLÂ, alone, possesses such<br />

power. Anyone who reads the aforesaid facts with attention will<br />

believe this. One should be extremely bigoted, stubborn, <strong>and</strong><br />

ignorant to deny it. As Muhammad ‘alaihis-salâm’ publicized the<br />

chapters of the Qur’ân al-kerîm, he conveyed only the statements<br />

that Allâhu ta’âlâ had been revealing to him, <strong>and</strong> as others<br />

learned them, so did he.<br />

Now let us touch upon the second sign demonstrating the fact<br />

that the Qur’ân al-kerîm is really a greatest miracle: the<br />

arrangement of its contents.<br />

When the Qur’ân al-kerîm is examined with computers, which<br />

are the latest instruments of today’s high-level technology, it will<br />

be seen that it has been established on an inconceivably terrific<br />

mathematical basis. The result is perplexingly significant. This<br />

result is only a miracle of Allâhu ta’âlâ.<br />

Before penetrating deeper into the inner essence of the<br />

experiment done, let us study how the Qur’ân al-kerîm was<br />

revealed, <strong>and</strong> what Allâhu ta’âlâ stated to His Messenger ‘sall-<br />

Allâhu ta’âlâ ’alaihi wa sallam’ during the revelation. For this has<br />

to do with the arrangement of the Qur’ân al-kerîm. The Qur’ân alkerîm<br />

was not revealed in the same order as today’s arrangement.<br />

The earliest revelation was the ’ALAQ Sûra. First, five âyats of<br />

’Alaq Sûra were revealed to Rasûlullah ‘sall-Allâhu ta’âlâ ’alaihi<br />

wa sallam’. They purport, “O Muhammad! Read! In the name of<br />

thy Lord <strong>and</strong> Cherisher, Allah, Who created everything.”<br />

“Created man, out of a (mere) clot of congealed blood [’alaq]:”<br />

“Read, <strong>and</strong> thy Lord (Allah) is Most bountiful,” “He Who<br />

teacheth (with the use of) the Pen,” “Teacheth man that which he<br />

knoweth not.” (96-1, 2, 3, 4, 5)<br />
