Islam and Christianity

No wonder if Allâhu ta’âlâ should inflict in the next world the
severest torment on those who insist on their denial despite all the
so palpable proofs testifying to the fact that the Qur’ân al-kerîm is
the true Book of Allâhu ta’âlâ. Christians’ arguments that “the
Qur’ân al-kerîm contains utterly cruel principles,” should be
answered as follows: “No. There are many passages in the Qur’ân
al-kerîm stating that Allâhu ta’âlâ is extremely compassionate and
forgiving. If a sinful person repents for his wrongdoings, Allâhu
ta’âlâ will forgive him. Yet it would by no means be cruelty to
employ eternal torture on those who will not believe in the Qur’ân
al-kerîm in the face of so many obvious proofs.
Being a true Muslim means not only performing the acts of
worship in the superficiality of practising a custom, but also
acquiring beautiful moral habits, observing one’s social duties, and
being exteremely pure spiritually. If a person does his worships
regularly but at the same time associates deceitfulness with
intelligence, cheats people, sometimes even succumbs to vicious
propaganda and commits homicide, burns and destroys places, and
lies, he is not a true Muslim, even though he may claim to be one.
Allâhu ta’âlâ dictates how a Muslim should be in the Furqân Sûra
of the Qur’ân al-kerîm. The true Islamic scholars called Ahl-assunna
‘rahima-humullâhu ta’âlâ’ wrote an exceeding number of
books to explain it. But we still cannot purge ourselves of bad
habits, do not work as hard as the Qur’ân al-kerîm commands us
to, do not obey the commandments of Allâhu ta’âlâ, cannot abide
by our promises, make our streets piles of dirt and ruins, and
cannot purify ourselves physically and spiritually. This is the case
in the face of the fact that we have the Word of Allah, the Qur’ân
al-kerîm, with all its clear commandments, instructions and
prescriptions, the commandments of our Prophet ‘sall-Allâhu
ta’âlâ ’alaihi wa sallam’, and the so many books written by the
scholars of Ahl-as-sunnat.
Allâhu ta’âlâ declares as follows, as is purported in the twentyeighth
âyat of the Fat-h Sûra of the Qur’ân al-kerîm:
“It is Allâhu ta’âlâ Who has sent His Prophet Islam the
Guidance and the religion of Truth, to proclaim it over all religions:
and enough is Allâhu ta’âlâ for a Witness (to testify to the fact that)
[Muhammad ‘alaihis-salâm’ is] (the true Prophet)” (48-28)
The ninth âyat of Saff Sûra purports, “It is Allâhu ta’âlâ Who
has sent His Messenger (Muhammad ‘alaihis-salâm’) with the
