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.

comm<strong>and</strong>ments pertaining to jihâd has become null <strong>and</strong> void. If<br />

anyone does not call us ‘kâfir,’ we will not call him a kâfir.” We are<br />

not allowed to let our daughters marry non-Qâdiânîs. But we may<br />

marry their daughters.” They stigmatize those Muslims who will<br />

not believe them as ‘disbelievers without a holy book’.<br />

’Allâma Husain Muhammad (rahmatullâhi ’alaih), a mudarris<br />

in the madrasa of Dîr-i zûr, writes in detail the words of the<br />

Qâdiânîs which cause kufr in his book Ar-raddu ’Alal-qâdiâniyya.<br />

Disbelievers disguising themselves under certain names introduce<br />

themselves as Muslims. They confute Christians <strong>and</strong> Jews <strong>and</strong><br />

prove the fact that <strong>Islam</strong> is the sole true religion <strong>and</strong> the only<br />

guide to happiness. Seeing this, other people immediately become<br />

Muslims. Yet Bahâîs, Qadiânîs, Shî’îs <strong>and</strong> Wahhabîs misguide<br />

these poor people to their corrupt groups. The Physics scholar<br />

Abdussalam, who won the Nobel prize, is a Qâdiânî. Ahmad<br />

Deedat, who attracted Christians to <strong>Islam</strong> in 1980 by debating<br />

with them, is not a Sunnî Muslim, either. Such people prevent new<br />

converts to <strong>Islam</strong> from attaining the true path of the Ahl-i Sunnat<br />

<strong>and</strong> eternal happiness.<br />

Sûfîs are a group of the true Muslims who are called the Ahl<br />

as-sunnat. These people did not stoop to philosophy. According<br />

to them, a perfect underst<strong>and</strong>ing of the Qur’ân al-kerîm, <strong>and</strong><br />

thereby becoming a true Muslim, requires an absolute homage to<br />

our Prophet ‘sall-Allâhu ta’âlâ alaihi wa sallam’, not only in<br />

observing his comm<strong>and</strong>s <strong>and</strong> prohibitions, but also in adapting<br />

ourselves perfectly to his behavioural <strong>and</strong> moral conduct.<br />

The qualified men of Tasawwuf: Some people called Sûfî<br />

appeared among the true Muslims, in other words “Ahl-as-<br />

Sunna” Muslims. A sûfi is never involved in philosophy. They said<br />

that in order to be a real Muslim <strong>and</strong> in order to underst<strong>and</strong> the<br />

Qur’ân al-kerîm, it is necessary to carry out not only the orders<br />

<strong>and</strong> the prohibitions of our Prophet (sall-Allahu ’alaihi wa<br />

sallam), but also all of his manners as well as his moral principles.<br />

The fundamentals of Sûfîsm are as follows:<br />

1) Faqr, which means, “To be conscious that you always need<br />

Allâhu ta’âlâ.’ According to them, “no one but Allâhu ta’âlâ can<br />

create anything. But, different things can become a means by<br />

which Allâhu ta’âlâ creates various things. Allâhu ta’âlâ is the<br />

Creator of all.”<br />

2) Zuhd <strong>and</strong> taqwâ: “To adapt yourself to <strong>Islam</strong>; to observe all<br />

the principles of <strong>Islam</strong> in your daily life; to be helpful <strong>and</strong> to<br />
