Islam: Islam And The Origin Of Islam

As stated before, within Catholic Christianity, Jesus Christ is known to be the Son of God. The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches that, “The name "Jesus" signifies that the very name of God is present in the person of his Son, made man for the universal and definitive redemption from sins” (5). This proves that Jesus Christ is God himself in the form of his Son, who was born to save

David M. Howard observant that the “issues of God’s attitudes toward the institution of kingship in the understanding of the Israelites are biblical base which is evident on their surface,” These attitudes of God towards the Israel is that, He blesses the monarchy, and He work out in the selection of a kingly line from which to seem in human form. ” John N. Oswalt notes that “God’s kingship is also suggested to through reference to the throne; few other biblical possess a theology of God as extensive and exalted to the fullness of this world, as the prophecies of Isaiah.” He further explains that Yahweh is “Almighty God,” whose infinite knowledge and power put to shame all other gods. He is the “Holy One of Israel,” whose infallible moral

In fact, the whole purpose of God sending His only begotten Son was to destroy the works of darkness through Jesus; moreover, Jesus’ gospel is the kingdom of God. Ephesians 1:9-10, (KJV), tells us, having made known the history of His will, according to His good pleasure which He hath purposed in Himself, that in the dispensation of the fullness of times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in Him. The Scriptures declares a future dispensation in which Jesus Christ will ultimately rule in His Millennial kingdom.

The Islamic religion began in 610 AD. It is one of the first religions to believe in one god, also known as a monotheistic religion. The prophet Muhammad was called upon by god. The Angel Gabriel came to him bearing a message from Allah; the message read was, “There is one god Allah, and Muhammad is his prophet” (Section 1 The rise of Islam student notes). In Mecca, Muhammad 's town, this was not a popular idea because their religion persisted of multiple gods, also known as a polytheistic religion.

Allah in Islam stands for God and carries the same meaning as in Christianity. In Islam, the angel Gabriel spoke to Mohammed and encouraged him to preach to the people and spread the word of Allah. Jesus was said to be the son of God but spoke almost exclusively to Jews (Woodhead, 2004, p 11). The prophets, Mohammed and Jesus, are looked at as symbols of God or Allah. These prophets serve as voices that guide their people 's actions through scripture.

Muhammad, God’s prophet, was a follower of Islam, and thus prayed to Allah, the Islamic “Supreme God.” Muslims follow Sharia Islamic Laws. Rather than having emperors, they had Sultans, as their leaders. Islamic Caliphates were able to unite the fighting tribes in the Arabian Peninsula, and spread throughout the Middle East of Europe. The Islamic Caliphates were soon able to conquer North Africa and the Persian Empire.

Jinns in Islam play a very curial role; they are a major part of the unseen world which includes the angels. Jinns were created before humans and they were also created from a denser material that is smokeless fire, the following verse from The Noble Quran explains that, “And We did certainly create man out of clay from an altered back mud.’ “And the Jinn race we had created before, from fire of smokeless flames” (Surah Al-Hijr 15:26-27). This explains that the jinns were before the mankind was created and both of them were created from different material and but for the same purpose i.e. worship of Allah alone, “And I (Allah) created not the jinns and humans except they should worship me alone” (surah Az-Zaariyaat 51:56) Jinns are created just like mankind, the jinns have free will they have the ability to choose to do right or wrong to follow the right path of Islam or to disbelieve.

Only those who remained blameless and free of sin would reach God’s presence. Salvation in the Old Testament is viewed primarily as a means of going to heaven, which calls for obedience of Gods commandments to be worth before Him. Although this is similar to the New Testament, the New Testament mainly emphasizes on deliverance from sin through Jesus Christ, the son of God, who died to redeem his people from sin and its consequences. Salvation in the Old Testament was mainly based on faith in God (Kärkkäinen 63). For instance, God considered Abraham, who was faithful to him, as a man through whom he would raise a great generation that would please and obey Him.

This day is the Day of Judgment (Qiyamat). Allah does not accept the adherence of other religion than Islam after He sent Prophet Muhammad to teach about Islam religion and to call people to Islam. Allah is the

______________________________________________________ Had Israel remained faithful in keeping the terms of this covenant as God wished, she would have succeeded in fulfilling her moral mission of leading all the nations of the world into worship to the One Creator God! ______________________________________________________ Unfortunately, Israel went a whoremongering after false gods, broke God’s covenant and desecrated His sacred statutes. But because of the unconditional nature of this covenant, which the Apostle Paul paraphrased in this manner, “God’s gifts – which speaks of covenant promises and; His calling – which speaks of the national election of Israel - are irrevocable” (Romans 11:29).

Benchmark Assignment: Gospel Essentials This paper will show how the Christian Worldview has been shaped by the sufferings of God, Jesus and man. Man was initially seen to be completely good and through their actions have created the downfall for all of man.

Through the Bible and its teachings, one gains the knowledge for moral beliefs as shown when Adam and Eve ate from the tree of life, thereby becoming sinners. Besides, the Bible from commandments than man should observe, which provide the way to Heaven. Muslims, on the other hand, follow the Qur’an, a record of the exact words God spoke to Prophet Muhammad through Angel Gabriel. The Qur’an outlays the Muslim faith and practice as well as the fundamental relationship between Allah and His creations. The Qur’an provides that true Muslims should believe and do good deeds to other people for they will be rewarded in the

From the founding of the empire, the rulers claimed to be a descendant of Ali, one of the first caliphs of Islam. Compared to the Ottoman empire, this empire was extremely religious. The Safavid rulers made their religion, Shiism, a required religion in the empire. Abbas, a ruler of the Safavid empire, slowly pressured each non-Muslim community to change to the religion of Islam. After this conversion, all non-Muslim buildings, books, and other religious items, were taken from the communities.

After conquering the people, God warned the Israelites to be mindful in their well doing, that they dare turn to other gods, that would ignite His anger upon them (Deuteronomy 31;16-18). ‘Joshua is the book of Israel’s holy war. It describes how the Israelites took possession of Canaan as fulfillment of the promise that God had given centuries before to the patriarchs Abrahams, Isaac and Jacob. The name Joshua means “The Lord is Savior,” as he took hold of the leadership after Moses’s death. The book of Joshua is part of the primary history of the Hebrew Bible narrating the history of Israel from the creations of the world until the Babylonian exile.

The Qur’an states that “God will bestow forgiveness and rich recompense” (Document B) to “those who submit to God and accept the true Faith” (Document B). It also says that “the believers who do good works … shall enter Paradise.” (Document B). The laws of Islam say that if someone submits to god and does good works, god will give them forgiveness and paradise. The Qur’an also says “do not devour one another’s property by unjust means” (Document B).
