Islam In The Bible

Islam teaches us that salvation is attainable through the worship of God alone.
A person must believe in God and follow His commandments.
This is the same message taught by all the Prophets including Moses and Jesus.
There is only One worthy of worship. One God, alone without partners, sons, or daughters. Salvation and thus eternal happiness can be achieved by sincere worship.

In addition to this Islam teaches us that human beings are born without sin and are naturally inclined to worship God alone (without any intermediaries).

To retain this state of sinlessness humankind must only follow God’s commandments and strive to live a righteous life.

If one falls into sin, all that is required is sincere repentance followed by seeking God’s forgiveness. When a person sins he or she pushes themselves away from the mercy of God, however sincere repentance brings a person back to God.

Was Islam spread by the sword?
According to the Quran, "There is no compulsion in religion" (2:256), thus, no one can be forced to become a Muslim. While it is true that in many places where Muslim armies went to liberate people or the land, they did carry the sword as that was the weapon used at that time.

However, Islam did not spread by the sword because in many places where there are Muslims now, in the Far East like Indonesia, in China, and many parts of Africa, there are no records of any Muslim armies going there. To say that Islam was spread by the sword would be to say that Christianity was spread by guns, F-16's and atomic bombs, etc., which is not true. Christianity spread by the missionary works of Christians.

Ten-percent of all Arabs are Christians. The "Sword of Islam" could not convert all the non-Muslim minorities in Muslim countries. In India, where Muslims ruled for 700 years, they are still a minority. In the U.S.A., Islam is the fastest growing religion and has 6 million followers without any sword around.

Why Islam is the Truth - this video should lead you to the conclusion that Islam is logically and rationally the truth by going through 5 important steps.

Muslims always say that Islam is the truth, but since many religions make the same claim, why Islam in particular? We can show Islam is the truth by using sound rational arguments. The GORAP technique uses logic to show that Islam is in fact the true purpose of our existence and the best way of life.

What we will find is that there are so many miracles of Islam that allow it to be the only religion that is self-evident to be the truth! When we are asked for proof for Islam being the truth, we ask where the proof isn’t!

From the existence of Allah, to the miracles of the Quran and to the life of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH; all can be used to show that Islam is rationally the truth!
