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.

22– He saw the seven stars in the cluster called Pleiades in<br />

constellation Taurus [bull], <strong>and</strong> said their number. This cluster of<br />

stars is also called Seven Sisters.<br />

23– His spittle sweetened bitter water, cured diseased people,<br />

<strong>and</strong> fed babies like milk.<br />

24– As his blessed eyes slept, his blessed heart stayed awake.<br />

This was the common quality of all Prophets ‘alaihim-us-salawâtu<br />

wa-t-taslîmât’.<br />

25– Throughout his lifetime he never yawned. Nor had any<br />

other Prophet ‘alaihim-us-salawâtu wa-t-taslîmât’.<br />

26– His sweat had a fragrant smell, like that of a rose. A poor<br />

man came to him <strong>and</strong> told him that he needed help for his<br />

daughter’s matrimony. The blessed Messenger had nothing to give<br />

him at that moment. So he had some of his sweat put in a small<br />

of him, telling them to leave the space behind him unoccupied “for<br />

the angels.”<br />

32– When he stepped on a rock, his foot would make a print on<br />

the rock. When he walked on s<strong>and</strong>s, on the other h<strong>and</strong>, he would<br />

leave no footprints behind. When he relieved nature in the open,<br />

the earth would split apart, swallow the urine or the faeces, <strong>and</strong><br />

radiate fragrant odours. This was the case with all the other<br />

Prophets as well.<br />

33– When he heard that some people had drunk his blood that<br />
