God says in the Quran that there is only one true religion, God's religion. It's the same theme that God revealed to all of the prophets, even before Muhammad.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Religion is defined by the relationship between God and man. And Islam is the submission and the acknowledgment of the human being to the creator.
There is only one religion, though there are a hundred versions of it.
Ironically, the first thing that appealed to me about Islam was its pluralism. The fact that the Koran praises all the great prophets of the past.
It seems to me that Islam and Christianity and Judaism all have the same god, and he's telling them all different things.
The conclusion that I have come to is that actually, no religion, whether it's Islam, Christianity or any idea based on scripture or texts, is a religion of 'anything,' really.
For one, the Qur'an is considered by Muslims to consist entirely of words spoken by Allah himself.
The Qur'an, throughout all of its verses, aims mainly to establish and confirm four basic, universal truths: the existence and Oneness of the Maker of the universe; Prophethood; bodily Resurrection; and worship and justice.
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble.
Islam is not a religion. It's a political system. It has a different set of rules.
Islam believes in many prophets, and Al Quran is nothing but a confirmation of the old Scriptures.
