Now I have a question, are Muslims against other religions like Judaism or Wicca? If so, why? I just started studying Wicca and Judaism...that is why I bring those up.

Peace Jeness:

Actually, Islam is not against any religion. :) As Muslims, we believe Islam is truth, so any other faith would be on a different path and we certainly wouldn't accept them as truth.

There is no compulsion in religion. I can't force a Wiccan, for example, to embrace Islam. I can only invite them to Islam, the rest is up to Allah, swt, to guide them or not.

As Prophet Muhammed, pbuh, said, ' To you be your religion, to me be mine.'

Hope that clarifies somewhat. :)

Peace,
Hana
 
Peace.


  • The Muslim is taught by his book, the Qur’ân, to hate falsehood, distorted beliefs, and deviance, and consequently, to hate the representation of falsehood and deviant beliefs at the hands of the unbelievers. He does not, however, hate the people themselves. In fact, he should wish for them every possible good and hope that they will attain guidance and be saved from the Hellfire.
  • When one of the unbelievers attains guidance, the Muslim should be as joyous for his sake as our Prophet (peace be upon him) was when a Jewish boy converted to Islam just before he died. The Prophet (peace be upon him) left his home saying: “All praises are for Allah who saved him from the Hellfire.”




The righteous muslim is taught to respect the other religion dispite the varied perceptions of the true word of god or Allah(swt).

We are not taught to go against or to persuade hatred in any way to the other religions. Productiveness is the key beholder.

HATE!!!

That is such a strong word.

I would prefer to say that since I am not Christian (or any other religion), I am not for Christianity. If I were for Christianity, I would be Christian. As for Christians themselves, I love them just as I love everyone else.

Where did you get that "hate falsehood" meant hate Christians or anyone else? :? I hate falsehood (lies), as much now as I did as a Christian.

I don’t think I said "hate falsehood" is to hate Christians. To “hate falsehood” is to hate lies. To a Muslim, Christianity is a "lie".

To “hate falsehood” is to hate Christianity as a lie, NOT the Christians. There is a clear difference between a Christian and Christianity itself.

Moreover, The only thing I suggested was that HATE is not the right word to use

no, just the lying parts of Christianity....not all of it. :p

Sorry, I misunderstood what you were saying initially. :) But, I do hate falsehood, regardless of what it pertains to.

Umm, please correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't that pretty colored bit mean that Muslims are taught to not respect other religions (as they are "falsehood, distorted beliefs, and deviance"), but to respect the believers in other religions? Indeed Muslims are taught to, well, spread hatred against other religions (as they are "the representation of falsehood and deviant beliefs" which leads to "hellfire"), but not against individuals who happen to believe in those religions?
 
hiya,
now i would say NO muslims are not against any religions but then again there are ''some'' people who may are but as me being a revert i am not against any religion i RESPECT how they are cause what ever they believe in, what they wear, what they eat etc etc..its nothing to do with me cause that's them and i RESPECT, but as islam is the truth religion ''some'' people do get put off because what the believe in and things like that but i don't mind ;)
take care

Nicely put.



I’m sorry if that last post sounded a little authoritative. I just wanted to make it clear that I don’t hate Christians.

Nope, it didn't at all. It's always best to clarify your statement if it's been misunderstood. :)

It's referring to the people that intentionally bring Islam down.

salaam

even though Muslims have the belief that Islam is the only right religion, they are not against those who practice other religions. we believe that we have our religion and they have theirs. As Muslims, Allah orders us to tolerate other religions even though we disagree with them. Allah will not accept anybody except Muslims and for the times before Islam, ahlel kitaab, or people of the book.

And Allah knows best.

Christians are not against Judaism or Wicca. Christians are against Witchcraft, but not Wicca. Christianity originated out of Judaism, many of the core beliefs are the same. There are just some minor changes and a few major.

I'd like to ask you what is an Agnostic? It sounds interesting
 
i know you werent asking me, but if somebody is agnostic it means that they dont know if God exists. They are unable to decide if God exists or not.

You cannot compare hate with respect, these are two completetly different definitions. If I hated you it doesn't mean I will not be able to respect you as well as if I hated your beliefs, it doesnt mean that I will not be able to respect your differences. If anything you are trying to say that just because a muslim may hate a religion, they must hate the person as well?? Or maybe you are trying to say that if you hate a belief, you cannot be tolerable with the believer?? You are a great twister of words, although not quite good enough.
