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.

interpolations today’s books of the Torah <strong>and</strong> the Bible still do<br />

contain passages surviving from the real Bible.<br />

The degree of wrath which some wretched people bring down<br />

from Allâhu ta’âlâ by trying to represent Îsâ (Jesus) ‘alaihis-salâm’<br />

as the son of Allah, <strong>and</strong> by insolently changing the verses in the<br />

Torah <strong>and</strong> the Bible to achieve this end, becomes manifest in the<br />

eighty-eighth through ninety-third âyats of Maryam Sûra of the<br />

Qur’ân al-kerîm, which purport:<br />

“They [Jews <strong>and</strong> Christians] say: “(Allah who is) Rahmân<br />

(Gracious) has begotten a son!” “Indeed ye have put forth a thing<br />

(a lie) most monstrous!” “At it the skies are ready to burst, the<br />

earth to split asunder, <strong>and</strong> the mountains to fall down in utter<br />

ruin,” “That they should invoke a son for (Allâhu ta’âlâ) the Most<br />

Gracious.” “For it is not consonant with the majesty of (Allâhu<br />

ta’âlâ) the Most Gracious that He should beget a son.” “Not one<br />

of the beings in the heavens <strong>and</strong> the earth but must come to<br />

(Allâhu ta’âlâ) the Most Gracious as a slave.” (19-88 to 93) Allâhu<br />

ta’âlâ declares as follows in the third âyat of the Ikhlâs Sûra of the<br />

Qur’ân al-kerîm: “... He (Allah) begetteth not, nor is He begotten.<br />

...” (112-3) The hundred <strong>and</strong> seventy-first âyat of the Nisâ Sûra<br />

purports, “O People of the Book [Jews <strong>and</strong> Christians]! Commit<br />

no excesses in your religion: nor say of Allâhu ta’âlâ aught but the<br />

truth. [Do not sl<strong>and</strong>er Him by saying that Îsâ ‘alaihis-salâm’ is the<br />

son of Allah.] Îsâ (Jesus) the son of Mary was (no more than) an<br />

apostle of Allâhu ta’âlâ, <strong>and</strong> His Word (Creation), which He<br />

bestowed on Mary, <strong>and</strong> a Spirit proceeding from Him: [O<br />

Christians.] so believe in Allâhu ta’âlâ <strong>and</strong> apostles. Say not<br />

‘Trinity’, nor say that Allâhu ta’âlâ is the third god in the trinity:<br />

desist; it will be better for you; Allâhu ta’âlâ is ONE Ma’bûd (One<br />

Being who is worthy of being worshipped): Glory be to Him: (Far<br />

exalted is He) above having a son. ...” (4-171)<br />

In the tenth âyat of Baqara Sûra, Allâhu ta’âlâ describes those<br />

people who interpolated the Bible as follows: “In their hearts is a<br />

disease; <strong>and</strong> Allâhu ta’âlâ has increased their disease: <strong>and</strong> grievous<br />

is the penalty they (incur), because they are false (to themselves).”<br />

(2-10)<br />

The seventy-ninth âyat of Baqara Sûra purports, “Woe to those<br />

who write the Book with their own h<strong>and</strong>s, <strong>and</strong> then say: ‘This is<br />

from God.’ To traffic with it for a miserable price! – Woe to them<br />

for what their h<strong>and</strong>s do write, <strong>and</strong> for the gain they make thereby.”<br />
