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.

VIRTUES of MUHAMMAD ‘alaihis-salâm’<br />

There are hundreds of books telling about the virtues of<br />

Muhammad ‘alaihis-salâm’. Virtue means superior quality.<br />

The following are eighty-six of his superior qualities.<br />

1– Of all the creatures, Muhammad’s ‘alaihis-salâm’ soul was<br />

the first to be created.<br />

2– Allâhu ta’âlâ wrote his name on the ’Arsh, on the Gardens<br />

of Paradise, <strong>and</strong> on the seven skies.<br />

3– The expression, “Lâ ilâha il-l-Allah Muhammadun<br />

Rasûlullah (There is no god but Allahu ta’âlâ, <strong>and</strong> Muhammad<br />

‘sall-Allâhu ta’âlâ ’alaihi wa sallam’ is His Messenger),” is written<br />

on the leaves of a rose growing in India.<br />

4– A fish that had been caught in a river in the vicinity of<br />

Basra had the name of Allah on its right flank <strong>and</strong> the name<br />

Muhammad ‘sall-Allâhu ta’âlâ ’alaihi wa sallam’ on the left.<br />

There are many other similar events. The hundredth page of A<br />

History of Fish, which was printed in London in 1975, contains<br />

the picture of a fish with the writing that says, “Shânullah”, on its<br />

tail. It is stated there also that the phrase ‘Lâ ilâha il-l-Allah’ is<br />

written on the other side of the tail. There are many other<br />

examples to this effect.<br />

5– There are angels whose sole duty is to say the name of<br />

Muhammad ‘alaihis-salâm’.<br />

6– The reason why angels were comm<strong>and</strong>ed to prostrate<br />

themselves before Âdam ‘alaihis-salâm’ was that he had the nûr<br />

(light, halo) of Muhammad ‘alaihis-salâm’ on his forehead.<br />

7– The azân (or adhân) [1] that was called in the time of Âdam<br />

‘alaihis-salâm’ contained the name of Muhammad ‘alaihis-salâm’,<br />

too.<br />

8– Allâhu ta’âlâ comm<strong>and</strong>ed each <strong>and</strong> every one of His<br />

Prophets: “If Muhammad ‘alaihis-salâm’ should be the Prophet in<br />

your time tell your people to believe in him.”<br />

9– The Torah, the Injîl (Bible) <strong>and</strong> the Zebûr contained<br />

[1] The prescribed call to prayer.<br />
