Why Islam Is Unique Among All Other Faiths In The World by Abdulgaffar22: 12:12pm On Feb 11, 2021
Why Islam is unique among all other faiths in the world

If we truly agree that God exist, and truly agree that this God is one, then the faith approved by this God for the salvation of all humanity must also be one. Therefore, in order to recognize this very faith approved by God, let us consider the following premises.


PREMISE 1:
Any true faith from God that is meant for the salvation of all humanity must have been in existence from the beginning of humanity

WHY ?

Since the faith was meant for the salvation of all humanity, it would not make sense if some part of humanity have lived and died before the establishment of that faith. In fact, they would have a genuine excuse to tender before God


PREMISE 2:

Any true faith from God that is meant for the salvation of all humanity must be within the reach of every human being irrespective of the place and time of his (her) existence.


WHY ?

Since the faith was meant for the salvation of all humanity, it would not make sense if that faith is not within the reach of some part of humanity. Again, they would also have a genuine excuse to tender before God.



Presently in the world we have:

1. Christianity,
2. Islam,
3. Hinduism,
4. Buddhism,
5. Judaism,
6. Confucianism,
7. Zoroastrianism,
8. Taoism,
9. Sikhism,
10. Jainism,
11. Bahaism
12. Shintoism

Out of all these faiths officially recognized in the world, one must definitely be approved by God. Otherwise, God would be deemed to have no interest in the guidance and welfarism of all humanity.

Now let us test the conformity of all these faiths with the two premises cited above.

Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Confucianism, Zoroastrianism, Taoism, Sikhism, Jainism, Bahaism and Shintoism all GOT THEIR AUTHORIZED NAMES from either the names or titles or localities of their founders or supposed founders . That is to say Buddhism came from the title called Buddha, Hinduism from the locality called Hindu, Confucianism from the name called Confucius, Zoroastrianism from Zoroaster, Judaism from Judah etc.

Since all these faiths got their authorized names from either the names or titles or localities of their founders and their founders are not the first set of human being on earth, all these faiths could not have been in existence from the beginning of humanity. Therefore, they all FAILED to conform with Premise 1. Again, all these faiths are not within the reach of every human being. Therefore, they also FAILED to conform with Premise 2.


Therefore, we are left with Christianity and Islam.


Before you can become a sincere Christian, you must believe in ATONING WORK OF JESUS ON THE CROSS for your salvation.
But many generations of human being have lived and died BEFORE the arrival of Jesus and BEFORE his supposed death on the cross . Hence, most of the PAST generations of human being are not opportuned to hear about Jesus and his atoning work on the cross; let alone believing in him as their Lord and personal Savior.


Therefore, if according to Christianity, Jesus is the ONLY WAY to reach God ( as mentioned in John 14:6) and many generations have lived and died BEFORE his arrival, then Christianity also FAILED to conform with Premise 1 and Premise 2 because it was not started at the beginning of humanity and it is not within the reach of every human being.

Since we are able to FALSIFY all other faiths on the surface of the earth, and one faith must definitely be approved by God, the only faith EXPECTED to be approved by God for salvation of humanity is ISLAM .


But as we have done with other faiths, let us investigate whether Islam conform with Premise 1 and Premise 2 or not.

Unlike all other faiths listed above, Islam did not get its authorized name from the name of a person, title or any locality. Islam (from Arabic word 'aslama') simply means " Submission to the will of God at any point in time"

Qur'an declare as follows;

Yes- WHOEVER submits himself to God and is a doer of good,- he will get his reward with his Lord; on such shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve ( Qur'an 2:112)

Therefore, as stated in the verse of Qur'an above, the MINIMUM requirements for anyone to practice Islam (i:e Submission to will of God) and then become Muslim (i:e Submitter to the will of God) are;

1 . Believe in oneness of God (which God has made known to all humanity through many signs in His creation)

2 . Performance of good deeds and avoidance of bad deeds ( which God has also made known to all humanity through their conscience)
Therefore, if it happened that the past generations of human being were not opportuned to hear about prophet Muhammad (pbuh) or Qur'an or any special revelation from God, then they can still become Muslims (i:e submitters to the will of God) by fulfilling these minimum requirements.

But why these minimum requirements ? What about five daily prayers, fasting and other compulsory acts stipulated in the Qur'an brought by prophet Muhammad (pbuh)?

God says in the Qur'an;
We do not impose upon any soul except according to his capacity, and with Us is a Record which speaks the truth, and they will not be treated unjustly (Qur'an 23:62)

Therefore, God cannot impose what is written in the Qur'an upon the people that never heard about Qur'an or any special revelation from God because it would have gone beyond their capacity.
Besides, it is not written in the Qur'an that Muhammad (pbuh) is the ONLY way as it is written in the Bible that Jesus is the ONLY way to reach God (John 14:6). So it is possible for the past generations of human being to become Muslims (i:e submitters to the will of God) just like Abraham, Moses, Jesus and others have become Muslims (submitters to the will of God) even WITHOUT believing in Qur'an since it was yet to be revealed .
Practicing what is written in the Qur'an is ONLY a condition for the present human beings to become Muslims since it has now been revealed.
So being a Muslim just depend on submitting to the will of God base on what God has revealed at any particular point in time.
For example, one of the God's will that was revealed to Abraham is "Sacrifice your only son for Me". Since Abraham was able to submit to this very will, he has practiced Islam (i:e submission to God's will). Therefore, Abraham was a Muslim (submitter to the will of God).
Yet we cannot say Abraham was a Christian because he has lived and died before the arrival of Jesus Christ, the person that make Christianity to be possible (John 14:6)


Qur'an stated as follows;

Abraham was not a Jew nor a Christian but he was an upright and devoted Muslim, and he was not one of the polytheists (Qur'an 3:67)

If believing in Muhammad (pbuh) is ABSOLUTELY a necessary condition for any one to become Muslim (submitter to the will of God), then why would Allah call Abraham ( who came BEFORE Muhammad) an upright and devoted Muslim in the verse quoted above ?

Hence, Islam (i:e submission to the will of God) is attainable by all humanity irrespective of the place and time of their existence on the surface of the earth.
Therefore, Islam conform perfectly with Premise 1 and Premise 2.


This is the reason why Qur'an declare as follows;

"Verily the only faith in the sight of God is ISLAM (Qur'an 3:19)"


"And whoever seeks a faith other than ISLAM, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers (Qur'an 3:85)


"This day, I (God) have perfected your faith for you, completed My favor upon you, and I have chosen for you ISLAM as your faith (Qur'an 5:3)"


"And whomsoever God wills to guide, He opens his breast to ISLAM, and whomsoever He wills to send astray, He makes his breast closed and constricted, as if he is climbing up to the sky. Thus God puts the wrath on those who believe not (Qur'an 6:125)"


"And who does more wrong than the one who invents a lie against God, while he is being invited to ISLAM ? And God guides not the people who are wrongdoers (Qur'an 61:7)"


Do you think it is just a coincidence for the name "ISLAM" to be mentioned FIVE times in the Qur'an while the authorized names of all other faiths in the world are NO WHERE to be found in their scriptures, let alone saying their faiths came from God ? For example, the word "Christianity" is no where to be mentioned in the Bible and the word "Hinduism" is no where to be found in Vedas or Upanishads.

Again, do you think it is just a coincidence for Islam to be authoritatively named "ISLAM" rather than "Muhammadanism" ?

If the name of Islam is not Islam but Muhammadanism then it would be in the same category with all other faiths that got their authorized names from either the names or titles or localities of their founders (e.g Buddhism from Buddha, Hinduism from Hindu, Confucianism from Confucius, Zoroastrianism from Zoroaster, Christianity from Christ etc).
But Islam is UNIQUE among all other faiths on the surface of the earth. Its name was not derived from the name 'Muhammad' because Islam was never founded by him. Islam was founded and specially designed by God Himself.

OBJECTION 1;

If the past generations of humanity can attain Islam without Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), then what was the essence of his coming ?


REPLY;

God knew very well that Satan will incite some people to establish all other false faiths which would cause people to DEVIATE from original Islam (i:e believing in ONENESS of God and submitting to the will of God at any particular point in time base on what God has revealed). For example, Hindus believe in many gods, Buddhists believe that there is no need to believe in any God or god. Christians believe that God is three in one or one in three. Atheists believe that there is no God. Therefore, there is need for God to correct all these false teachings invented by Satan. This is one of the reasons God sent the Holy Qur'an through His last prophet to bring the humanity back to the original track. So prophet Muhammad (pbuh) came not to found a completely new faith but to REVIVE the original Islam.


OBJECTION 2;

So if Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) came to revive the original Islam with its MINIMUM requirements explained up there, then why ADDITIONAL requirements like five daily prayers, fasting, Zakat and other compulsory acts in Islam ?


REPLY:

Human beings are not in a position to understand completely the reasons why God commanded us to do some certain things. Yet we can still use our sense to fathom some of these reasons. The most obvious reason is that God want to test our obedience to His additional commands just like He tested the obedience of Adam to the command of not eating the forbidden fruit and tested the obedience of Abraham to the command of sacrificing his only son.

Another fathomable reason is that God want to create a specific mode of worship for the Muslims through which they would be distinguished and recognized among the people of other faiths.

Premise 1

Muhammad was the first muslim, he came after Christianity and Judiasm had been established.

By your submission Islam is not a true faith because it didn't exist from the beginning of humanity.

"Monotheism" is not the gateway to heaven, Mohamed Father (Abdullah) was slave to only one pagan god allah, the question is are you following the right God?


Premise 2

Christianity accepts Christ as only way what happened to those who came before him?


God is God and before Christ he had put that thing called conscience in every human heart.

This is why even when there was no "religion" yet Adam and Eve knew they offended God, and God always judged by the tennets of their heart, this is why Abraham was called the friend of God even without religion etc.

Christ emphasized this when he said it is not about the practices that makes you right with God but about the intention of your heart out of which action comes.

So even before Christ on Earth and during his time on Earth and after his exit when he sent the comforter to dwell in the heart of believers, the heart was the constant determinant even when saying the Christ creed of salvation, no vacuum since humanity started


Are you aware that when Christ died he descended into the pit of sheol to set free all those who had lived before him by the conscience of God.

A true faith must be within the reach of humanity,
this further exposes Islam as false, Islam is centered on praying to a specific direction (kaabal), reciting Arab jinx five times a day,

Islam restricts humanity from following allah in their tribes dialets simply because allah doesn't understand any language beyond arabic or he is a racist (this can't be a God for all)


Islam places importance on visiting kaabal as a requirement for jinah (an omnipotent God doesn't need physical presence, your heart is his presence).

The name of religion means nothing, whether you name it after your city or name it after god, the important thing is (are you following the right God or the god of Mohamed Father?)

Islam name in the quran is not significant, this is a book inspired by Mohammed for himself, it exposes Islam because a religion inspired by God would report the events from God's perspective, God is too big to be boxed in a certain name of reaching by humanity.

God gave his personal names Yaweh, Jehovah because this was an important account for himself

He only tells you to follow him and how to, it is man's perspective to reach him that makes it a "religion" as identification, so seeing Islam in Quran should tell you how badly some humans are desperate to impose a defined direction to follow god.



Christianity is simply christ-like because they follow christ


People also follow one god (ogun) others follow sango, others allah the quresh idol it doesn't validate monotheism as the perfect key to God.

Jesus himself condenmed the Pharisees who were outwardly religious but doing it from deceit, so that you fast 50 times a day and pray on the center of expressway doesn't mean you following the right path

Jesus is the ONLY WAY, and that doesn't change the reality because you don't like it.



When you start seeing the reality that the children of Israel and all their prophets followed a different God from Allah then you would start knowing the truth no matter how much Mohamed tried to force his self into their history.

OBJECTION 1;

If the past generations of humanity can attain Islam without Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), then what was the essence of his coming ?

You just contradicted yourself because you ignorantly called Abraham a muslim, yet admitted that non could attain Islam without Mohamed so which one is he reviving again.


Can you revive what never existed?


How about if Satan himself started this whole strange cult that doesn't correlate with the Torah/Bible nor it's people to disengage many from the already established path.

If Satan as inspired by the jibril jinn set up Islam through Mohamed, then it's obvious that Mohamed essence was simply to lead people astray because allah is best deciver (a title for Satan).

If Satan has achieved his aim through Islam he actually doesn't need to bother creating another distraction when Islam fulfils his aim.


OBJECTION 2;


So if Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) came to revive the original Islam with its MINIMUM requirements explained up there, then why ADDITIONAL requirements like five daily prayers, fasting, Zakat and other compulsory acts in Islam ?


Because Satan the creator of this cult is an author of confusion,
their is nothing like original Islam revived since Mohamed established it, your additional requirements are just the chains of bondage Satan uses to keep you busy as a slave.

God is not an author of confusion, that is why a Quran/Allah that promised to lead you to the right clear path is leaving you confused to interpret for yourself.

You can not actually use your common sense to fathom as you put it,
Muslims are now cherry picking which haddit to follow and which to ignore, no clear path yet they believe Islam came to direct them to a clear path.

After all these, is there anywhere Mohamed or Allah guaranteed Muslims would go to heaven after doing these things?


The answer is No, but shouldn't the right way give you a certainty of heaven if it's the right path, (christianity does) Islam doesn't it says Allah is best deciver with a scale, Mohamed doesn't, he says the best deceiver knows best

Christianity and Judiasm are not in the Bible for instance because the authors were too inspired by God to write from God's account by which a name with which contain his following wasn't the issue.

Christianity is simply christ-like because they follow christ

Moses and the prophets weren't Muslims, Mohamed was the first Muslim, that they submit to Yaweh doesn't mean they submitted to Baal the kaabal stone god which same Yaweh warned against.

Abdulgaffar22,

What you posted in the op is nonsense.

1. There are more than 12 religions in the world. You just mentioned the 12 that that white man has studied in detail. You are an African that fails to realise that there are African religions.

2. There are many religions older than Judaism and Islam. That alone shows that Islam loses points for making Allah look late to the party.

3. There is truly nothing original about Islam. Without Judaism, there is no Islam. Prayers, charity (zakat), pilgrimage (hajj) all existed before Islam.

Why Islam is unique among all other faiths in the world

If we truly agree that God exist, and truly agree that this God is one, then the faith approved by this God for the salvation of all humanity must also be one. Therefore, in order to recognize this very faith approved by God, let us consider the following premises.


PREMISE 1:
Any true faith from God that is meant for the salvation of all humanity must have been in existence from the beginning of humanity

WHY ?

Since the faith was meant for the salvation of all humanity, it would not make sense if some part of humanity have lived and died before the establishment of that faith. In fact, they would have a genuine excuse to tender before God


PREMISE 2:

Any true faith from God that is meant for the salvation of all humanity must be within the reach of every human being irrespective of the place and time of his (her) existence.


WHY ?

Since the faith was meant for the salvation of all humanity, it would not make sense if that faith is not within the reach of some part of humanity. Again, they would also have a genuine excuse to tender before God.



Presently in the world we have:

1. Christianity,
2. Islam,
3. Hinduism,
4. Buddhism,
5. Judaism,
6. Confucianism,
7. Zoroastrianism,
8. Taoism,
9. Sikhism,
10. Jainism,
11. Bahaism
12. Shintoism

Out of all these faiths officially recognized in the world, one must definitely be approved by God. Otherwise, God would be deemed to have no interest in the guidance and welfarism of all humanity.

Now let us test the conformity of all these faiths with the two premises cited above.

Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Confucianism, Zoroastrianism, Taoism, Sikhism, Jainism, Bahaism and Shintoism all GOT THEIR AUTHORIZED NAMES from either the names or titles or localities of their founders or supposed founders . That is to say Buddhism came from the title called Buddha, Hinduism from the locality called Hindu, Confucianism from the name called Confucius, Zoroastrianism from Zoroaster, Judaism from Judah etc.

Since all these faiths got their authorized names from either the names or titles or localities of their founders and their founders are not the first set of human being on earth, all these faiths could not have been in existence from the beginning of humanity. Therefore, they all FAILED to conform with Premise 1. Again, all these faiths are not within the reach of every human being. Therefore, they also FAILED to conform with Premise 2.


Therefore, we are left with Christianity and Islam.


Before you can become a sincere Christian, you must believe in ATONING WORK OF JESUS ON THE CROSS for your salvation.
But many generations of human being have lived and died BEFORE the arrival of Jesus and BEFORE his supposed death on the cross . Hence, most of the PAST generations of human being are not opportuned to hear about Jesus and his atoning work on the cross; let alone believing in him as their Lord and personal Savior.


Therefore, if according to Christianity, Jesus is the ONLY WAY to reach God ( as mentioned in John 14:6) and many generations have lived and died BEFORE his arrival, then Christianity also FAILED to conform with Premise 1 and Premise 2 because it was not started at the beginning of humanity and it is not within the reach of every human being.

Since we are able to FALSIFY all other faiths on the surface of the earth, and one faith must definitely be approved by God, the only faith EXPECTED to be approved by God for salvation of humanity is ISLAM .


But as we have done with other faiths, let us investigate whether Islam conform with Premise 1 and Premise 2 or not.

Unlike all other faiths listed above, Islam did not get its authorized name from the name of a person, title or any locality. Islam (from Arabic word 'aslama') simply means " Submission to the will of God at any point in time"

Qur'an declare as follows;

Yes- WHOEVER submits himself to God and is a doer of good,- he will get his reward with his Lord; on such shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve ( Qur'an 2:112)

Therefore, as stated in the verse of Qur'an above, the MINIMUM requirements for anyone to practice Islam (i:e Submission to will of God) and then become Muslim (i:e Submitter to the will of God) are;

1 . Believe in oneness of God (which God has made known to all humanity through many signs in His creation)

2 . Performance of good deeds and avoidance of bad deeds ( which God has also made known to all humanity through their conscience)
Therefore, if it happened that the past generations of human being were not opportuned to hear about prophet Muhammad (pbuh) or Qur'an or any special revelation from God, then they can still become Muslims (i:e submitters to the will of God) by fulfilling these minimum requirements.

But why these minimum requirements ? What about five daily prayers, fasting and other compulsory acts stipulated in the Qur'an brought by prophet Muhammad (pbuh)?

God says in the Qur'an;
We do not impose upon any soul except according to his capacity, and with Us is a Record which speaks the truth, and they will not be treated unjustly (Qur'an 23:62)

Therefore, God cannot impose what is written in the Qur'an upon the people that never heard about Qur'an or any special revelation from God because it would have gone beyond their capacity.
Besides, it is not written in the Qur'an that Muhammad (pbuh) is the ONLY way as it is written in the Bible that Jesus is the ONLY way to reach God (John 14:6). So it is possible for the past generations of human being to become Muslims (i:e submitters to the will of God) just like Abraham, Moses, Jesus and others have become Muslims (submitters to the will of God) even WITHOUT believing in Qur'an since it was yet to be revealed .
Practicing what is written in the Qur'an is ONLY a condition for the present human beings to become Muslims since it has now been revealed.
So being a Muslim just depend on submitting to the will of God base on what God has revealed at any particular point in time.
For example, one of the God's will that was revealed to Abraham is "Sacrifice your only son for Me". Since Abraham was able to submit to this very will, he has practiced Islam (i:e submission to God's will). Therefore, Abraham was a Muslim (submitter to the will of God).
Yet we cannot say Abraham was a Christian because he has lived and died before the arrival of Jesus Christ, the person that make Christianity to be possible (John 14:6)


Qur'an stated as follows;

Abraham was not a Jew nor a Christian but he was an upright and devoted Muslim, and he was not one of the polytheists (Qur'an 3:67)

If believing in Muhammad (pbuh) is ABSOLUTELY a necessary condition for any one to become Muslim (submitter to the will of God), then why would Allah call Abraham ( who came BEFORE Muhammad) an upright and devoted Muslim in the verse quoted above ?

Hence, Islam (i:e submission to the will of God) is attainable by all humanity irrespective of the place and time of their existence on the surface of the earth.
Therefore, Islam conform perfectly with Premise 1 and Premise 2.


This is the reason why Qur'an declare as follows;

"Verily the only faith in the sight of God is ISLAM (Qur'an 3:19)"


"And whoever seeks a faith other than ISLAM, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers (Qur'an 3:85)


"This day, I (God) have perfected your faith for you, completed My favor upon you, and I have chosen for you ISLAM as your faith (Qur'an 5:3)"


"And whomsoever God wills to guide, He opens his breast to ISLAM, and whomsoever He wills to send astray, He makes his breast closed and constricted, as if he is climbing up to the sky. Thus God puts the wrath on those who believe not (Qur'an 6:125)"


"And who does more wrong than the one who invents a lie against God, while he is being invited to ISLAM ? And God guides not the people who are wrongdoers (Qur'an 61:7)"


Do you think it is just a coincidence for the name "ISLAM" to be mentioned FIVE times in the Qur'an while the authorized names of all other faiths in the world are NO WHERE to be found in their scriptures, let alone saying their faiths came from God ? For example, the word "Christianity" is no where to be mentioned in the Bible and the word "Hinduism" is no where to be found in Vedas or Upanishads.

Again, do you think it is just a coincidence for Islam to be authoritatively named "ISLAM" rather than "Muhammadanism" ?

If the name of Islam is not Islam but Muhammadanism then it would be in the same category with all other faiths that got their authorized names from either the names or titles or localities of their founders (e.g Buddhism from Buddha, Hinduism from Hindu, Confucianism from Confucius, Zoroastrianism from Zoroaster, Christianity from Christ etc).
But Islam is UNIQUE among all other faiths on the surface of the earth. Its name was not derived from the name 'Muhammad' because Islam was never founded by him. Islam was founded and specially designed by God Himself.

OBJECTION 1;

If the past generations of humanity can attain Islam without Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), then what was the essence of his coming ?


REPLY;

God knew very well that Satan will incite some people to establish all other false faiths which would cause people to DEVIATE from original Islam (i:e believing in ONENESS of God and submitting to the will of God at any particular point in time base on what God has revealed). For example, Hindus believe in many gods, Buddhists believe that there is no need to believe in any God or god. Christians believe that God is three in one or one in three. Atheists believe that there is no God. Therefore, there is need for God to correct all these false teachings invented by Satan. This is one of the reasons God sent the Holy Qur'an through His last prophet to bring the humanity back to the original track. So prophet Muhammad (pbuh) came not to found a completely new faith but to REVIVE the original Islam.


OBJECTION 2;

So if Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) came to revive the original Islam with its MINIMUM requirements explained up there, then why ADDITIONAL requirements like five daily prayers, fasting, Zakat and other compulsory acts in Islam ?


REPLY:

Human beings are not in a position to understand completely the reasons why God commanded us to do some certain things. Yet we can still use our sense to fathom some of these reasons. The most obvious reason is that God want to test our obedience to His additional commands just like He tested the obedience of Adam to the command of not eating the forbidden fruit and tested the obedience of Abraham to the command of sacrificing his only son.

Another fathomable reason is that God want to create a specific mode of worship for the Muslims through which they would be distinguished and recognized among the people of other faiths.
grin—this is totally devoid of logic whatsoever
