MY JOURNEY TO ISLAM

[AhmedSyed]

ASSALAMUALKUM BROTHERS AND SISTERS

amai, i just wanna correct some of the stuff u wrote a while ago, just so u have a better understanding of Islam and its teachings.

Amai: Allah is the source of both good and evil.

actually, Allah SWT, is Good, he created jinns and men, jinns are a creation of God that were made out of fire. The leader of the Jinns, his name is Iblis in Arabic, rebeled when God told all his creation to bow down to Adam when he created him.Iblis is now Satan, and of course Satan--bad. He had a chance to ask for forgiveness but he is stubborn and still won't.

Amai: Mohammed is greater than Jesus

no, all are great....Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him) stood out from the other prophets because his message was ment for all of mankind, and it was the last message, and as we belive, the REMAINING true message. On the other hand, the message of the prophets before him were ment for a specific people, the Isrealites... ect.. We think that ALL prophets are great and that they all have great attirbutes to them, such as honesty, trustworthyness, modesty, etc, etc, etc, the list goes on...

Amai: Jesus was only a prophet

No, we belive that he was a messager that brought the Injil (arabic) or Gospel (english) which is means "the Good News"

A prophet that recives a book, is a messager. The known messagers in the Quran are Abraham, Moses, David, Jesus, Muhammed (peace be upon them). There are more, but these are the ones mentioned in the Quran.

Amai: Gabriel is the Holy Spirit

Actually, we don't refer to him as such. He was known to guide and give messages of books to the Prophets and soon to be messagners

Amai, i'd like to know where the Quran says the sun sets in a pond. i'd sure like to read into that and make sense of it.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, i like feedback by the way. :wink:
