I am trying to understand Islam and specifically the Muslim view of devotion to Muhammad (PBUH). Could you please explain to me your devotion to Muhammad (PBUH) and what that means to you?
Meaning of Shirk according to The Qur'an
" Worshipping anyone or anything besides Allah " or " distributing anything exclusive to Allah, to anyone or anything else "
Meaning of Tawheed according to The Qur'an Worshipping none but Allah. Affirming whatever is exclusive to Him, Him alone.
The Christian caveat is "salvation through Jesus".
The Muslims believe "Salvation through the mercy of Allah."
Theoloigcally, I am unable to understand or make sense of trinity, and the inconsistency of it. I am unable to accept that God is a author of confusion and so, I do not consider the New Testament to be the Injeel given to Jesus pbuh, but rather, the New Testament is for me, a book of Christian Ahadeeth which were canonised in Nicea circa 325CE.
In comparison, we sit on much stronger theological foundations and have no issues with understanding what salvation is. When we contrast to the Christian theology regarding the idea of salvation, we find an escapist reasoning - one man dies for the sins of all who believe they are saved. This means that in Christian theology, sin is inherited. While in our Muslim theology, we understand clearly that no man will bare the sin of another.
Theology aside, I think this thread I made last night is very on topic in this thread so will plug those posts here God willing.

We're all tired of the argumentation between the worlds two largest faith groups - Christianity and Islam. How about discourse though?
Dr James White - Christian Theologian and Shaikh Dr Yasir Qadhi - Muslim Theologian, have a wonderfully intelligent exchange which I believe we members from the Christian and Muslim faith groups here on IB can really benefit from, God willing
I would at this point in the thread, like to ask the OP how they are "devoted to Jesus" ??? because I believe Muslims are more like Jesus than any Christian is today.
