That's kool.




The main concept in Islaam (which means submission to God) is that ALL the Prophets of God have called to the worship and obedience of our Creator and Sustainer Alone.


This has been explained in another post so i'll just mention it here;

Let's start off with the fact that the majority of the world believes in a God, or 'Higher being.' The difference between islaam and all other faiths is that instead of just recognizing that there is a God, we believe that the Creator created us with the purpose of submitting to Him, worshipping Him alone sincerely without any associates.


These associates can be stone idols, it can be humans (or human legislations) it can be a person's desires etc.



Islaam call's to the worship of God, known as Allaah in arabic. If you're confused about why God is Allaah in arabic, realise that people from spain call God - Dios, the french call God - Dieu etc. Similarly the way of saying God in arabic is Allaah.


Allaah has sent messengers to convey the same message of calling to the worship of God since the beginning of time, since Adam (peace be upon him) the first person to ever live. All the messengers came to call to Allaah's worship, and this is the purpose of our creation - to worship Allaah, without no associates, so no idols, no humans, no law which opposes the law which Allaah has revealed to His messengers.


We as muslims believe that Noah, Moses, Jesus, Muhammad (peace be upon them all) were prophets. There have been a total of 124,000 prophets that have come to mankind to call to the worship of Allaah Alone. However, the majority of mankind has fallen astray, because they do believe in a Creator, but they reject the fact that He should be worshipped alone, and that His law should be established for mankind.


You as a christian may feel that Jesus is God, but we don't believe that God would humiliate himself on the earth by His own creation. That is blasphemy according to all faiths. Because God is All Powerful, and the creation can not harm Him whatsoever.



Any deeds we do, we do them sincerely to gain Allaah's Mercy, and if we gain it - we will enter the eternal paradise which all the prophets have called to also. However, if someone rejects the worship of the One God - without any associates, they will be punished in the hellfire. This is the only sin which God does not forgive [if one dies in that state], why should He, if the person is saying that a stone is God? Or a human is God etc.



We all will die and be raised back on the day of recompense, when Allaah/God will judge between us on all that we did. No-one will be judged unfairly because Allaah is the Most Just. Allaah can bring the dead back to life, the same way He brings the dead earth (plants, flowers etc.) back to life by sending down rain.



If you feel that God is being unfair to His servants by punishing those that associate partners with Him, then the justice for this will also be balanced out. Allaah will ask those who associated partners with Him to ask the one's they worshipped for reward. So if someone worshipped a stone idol, they will ask that for recompense on the day of judgement (obviously the stone won't be able to do anything.) If someone worships a human, even if the human is pious, the person will have to get their reward from this human [but obviously everything is dependant on the Creator.] The one's who worshipped God Alone, sincerely without no associates - they will be rewarded by Allaah, the Exalted with an eternal paradise where they can have all that they desire, and more.



If anyone feels that it is unjust, then they have to stop being unjust to their own Creator. If Allaah created man so he should worship Him, then why worship the stone idol, or why worship a human when you can turn towards your Creator who gives you all you have, and will reward you more if you turn to Him sincerely in worship?

And (remember) when your Lord proclaimed: "If you give thanks (by accepting Faith and worshipping none but Allâh), I will give you more (of My Blessings), but if you are thankless (i.e. disbelievers), verily! My Punishment is indeed severe."

[Qur'an Chapter Abraham 14: 7]

The basic concept in Islaam in regard to sin is that every son/daughter of Adam is prone to commit sin, but the best of sinners are those who learn from their error and repent to Allaah sincerely to forgive them.


We do not believe in the concept of the 'original sin' - since Adam and Eve repented to Allaah (after they ate from the tree) so He forgave them.

Similarly, all the children of Adam are born pure and sinless. Yet if they do sin, no-one else bears their sins except their own souls. However, Allaah is so Merciful that He is willing to forgive the one who does wrong, so long as this person intends not to do that evil again. Yet still, if this person falls into error again - they should continue to repent and intend not to do the sin again. Since only those who disbelieve despair of the Mercy of Allaah.



This whole life is a test, a trial between good and evil. Will we remain sincere to Allaah by continuously trying to do good? Or will we become arrogant and reject Allaah and His blessings? Without a doubt, those who are thankful to Him and accept His Messengers', and do good to please Him - their reward is with Him, the Rich, All Praised. Those who reject His blessings and turn them into disbelief - then they will be punished for their own evils in the hellfire, which is a place for those who were too arrogant, and denied the favours of Allaah.



Just imagine, if Allaah has given you so much good throughout your life (like your eye sight, your hearing, the food you eat, the clothes you wear, anything you can ever imagine you have in this life) - then if you are thankful to Allaah, you are a believer, and you submit yourself to Allaah, then know that Allaah has an even greater reward in store for you in Paradise (since Paradise is the original home of the family of Adam - peace be upon him.)

If He has given you so much good in this life without you striving for it, imagine the great good He will have for you if you did strive for His reward of Paradise!




If you ever have anymore questions, or unsure of anything i said - please don't hesitate to ask.






Peace.
