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.

in the most logical <strong>and</strong> reliable way. The justice in having property<br />
is realised under the name “zakât.” The best moral principles <strong>and</strong><br />
the best manner of worshipping are taught. Even if he were a very<br />
clever man, this underst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>and</strong> knowledge is impossible for a<br />
man who never read a book, or for this information to have been<br />
known or written down 1400 years ago. When an ayât (verse) of the<br />
Qur’ân al-kerîm descended, even the Prophet did not know its<br />
entire meaning, but he used to ask Gabriel (’alaihi ’s-salâm) in<br />
order to learn it. If Europeans admit his prophethood, there is no<br />
doubt that they will become Muslims <strong>and</strong> thereby attain eternal<br />
happiness. We hope that one day in the future they will prefer the<br />
true religion <strong>and</strong> thereby attain endless bliss (heaven).<br />
