The Unity of God

Question

The concept of unity of God in the Qur’an is very clear, but do we have any evidence from other religious scriptures pointing in the same direction? And if so, what then seems to be the difference, if indeed any, between Islam and all these other religions?

To a Muslim, the great prophets (like Abraham, Moses, and Jesus) in Christianity and Judaism, are of course true prophets of Allah mentioned in the Qur’an. In Islam, these religions too are sometimes respectfully referred to as “religions from the sky”. Read the rest of this entry »

To whom it may concern,

It has come to my attention that the video of a talk on ‘Hinduism’ which I gave almost five (5) years ago in Kedah, in response to a request for a simple lay-man’s explanation on the basic belief in Hinduism (for purpose of Islamic missionary work training) has been posted on YouTube by an unknown and unauthorized person overseas. We are currently investigating his/her identity and possible motive.

Contrary to popular understanding, Prophet Muhammad IS NOT the founder of Islam. Islam began since time began. Islam was also the religion of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus (Peace be Upon Them). It is offensive to Muslims when referred as Mohamadans.

The word Islam is derived from two Arabic words sharing same root:
Salaam – Peace, Harmony, Tranquility, purity
Aslama – Willing Obedience, Willing Submission, Total Surrender.

Therefore Islam means Read the rest of this entry »
