What Muslims Believe

Religious History  Muslims believe that Islam (meaning “submission to Allah”) is the original religion since the creation of Adam, the first prophet. Muslims Allah  Since the beginning of time, all people who submit to Allah are called Muslims.  Over the centuries, Allah appointed thousands of prophets to warn and guide mankind. Islam, the Original Religion

Quran: Surah 3: Ayah 66: What Muslims Believe Religious History  Prominent among them were: Islam, the Original Religion  Ebrahim Ebrahim  Musa Musa  Dawud Dawud  Isa Al Masih Isa Al Masih

 Christians trace their religious history back to Adam, who brought the curse of sin upon all mankind. (Genesis 1-3)  Jesus is called the second Adam, who came to remove this curse of sin. (Romans 5) What Christians Believe Religious History Adam and Jesus The Fall and Expulsion from Garden of Eden (detail) Michelangelo ( )

What Christians Believe Religious History Abraham and Jesus  God’s plan unfolded carefully over history.  Abraham was promised the blessing to carry out God’s eternal purposes.  He was blessed so he could be a blessing to all the families of the earth. (Genesis 12:1-3; Galatians 3) The Sacrifice of Abraham, Rembrandt (1635)

Who is God? What Muslims Believe Allah is One  The absolute Oneness of Allah is primary to Muslims.Allah Muslims  The greatest sin is to associate any partner with Him.  This sin is called shirk.shirk

Who is God? What Muslims Believe Allah Cannot be Compared  Allah is transcendent and cannot be compared to humans or any other created thing.  Allah’s character and attributes are revealed through His 99 Arabic names, the two most common being “The Merciful” and “The Compassionate.”

Who is God? What Muslims Believe Allah Cannot be Compared  Allah is never described in Islam by using human family terms such as “father” or “son.”  In the Quran he reveals his will for mankind to obey, not his person for mankind to relate with and know.

Who is God? How to Correct Misunderstandings The False Trinity  Most Muslims consider Christians to be polytheists (people who believe in many gods) because of the Trinity.  A common misunderstanding of the Trinity is that a Father God had sex with a Mother God (Mary) to produce their “Son of God.” No Christian believes this false idea.

Who is God? How to Correct Misunderstandings The True Belief is Still Misunderstood  Educated Muslims understand this false “Father-Mother-Son” Trinity is not a Christians belief, but they still do not understand how the math can show God’s unity.  To them it is simple: 1+1+1=3; Father + Son + Holy Spirit = Three Gods.  This is not what Christians believe.
