What is Islam? Ask a Muslim

[Sar1n]

No, eating people is not Islam.

For you. For him, apparently it is part of Islam, illustrating my point. You can use religion as excuse for anything...

That's a stupid notion, if I go drink a beer right now and claim it's in the name of God does that make it part of Islam?

Muhammad did not start Islam it was already there before??Is that what you are saying...

Yes. Read the Holy Quran, then you will understand.

Why do you say "Jesus (peace be upon him)"? Don't you think your prophet's soul will have reached paradise after about 2000 years?

Jesus (pbuh) has been taken to Paradise already, but he will return soon. And no one knows when the Day will come, except G-d (SWT). I don't think it will take that long (I would give about 100 years), but no one knows.

How do you know?

It's written in Quran and said by Muhammed (pbuh). Because that's what I believe and I have found that as the truth, because before conversion I was able to look at all religions and atheism with open eyes.
I was originally Christian and I'm from Latvia (We are neighbors ).
But it's not my problem that you deny it. And can you prove that G-d (SWT) isn't?

It was there before in the sense that Mohammed copied Judaism and Christianity, retaining a few Arab pagan customs and rituals. They have all the same Jewish Rabbinic laws for an example, I mean the Arabs were never Jewish themselves.

[Blaze86420]

Uhhh, there were Jewish tribes in Arabia who were definitely Jewish.

[Scruff Dog]

Jews were Jewish and Arabs were pagans. I don't think that many Jews became Muslims.

Muhammed (pbuh) didn't copy a thing nor add any pagan things. Paganism is a very big sin in Islam. Christians have a lot of paganism. For example, all the holidays match pagan holidays, like Christmas.
Muhammed (pbuh) restored Islam from what it used it be, before the evil doer corrupted Islam before prophet Muhammed (pbuh). The laws are the same because it's the same religion, except Judaism was corrupted. The laws were given by G-d (SWT), they aren't man made, do you expect G-d (SWT) to change His laws, like humans do? Should G-d (SWT) had given another prophet completely different set of laws than the previous ones to be on a straight path? G-d (SWT) knows what's the best for humans, better than we do.

Great post!

"I don't think"? There were a number of Jewish tribes in Arabia, what happened to them?

[Scruff Dog]

They had to pay a special tax for the privilege of remaining Jewish as far as I know.

[John ''True Grit'' Wayne]

They moved to the Holy land with Moses and Joshua and lived in the Kingdom of King David till the Romans kicked them out.But now they are back and are the boss.
If Allah and Muhammad are real why let Jews take over everything??Surely this cant be...

A lot of Jews have converted to Islam throughout history. There are many documented cases, and based on demographics there is no other reasonable explanation.

It's actually said that nearing the end times Israel will be remade and it will do mischief on this world.

How do you know what the Qur'an says is true?

There wasn't a mass conversion of Jews to Islam or Christianity either though Christianity at least began as a Jewish cult it wasn't an attempt to copy something which to me Islam blatantly was.

Answer the whole post, not just quote the beginning. I wont fall to that.

The rest of your post had no point. You said you found it to be the truth without saying why. I'm curious.

Islam is most similar to Ebionite Christianity which was the most common form of Christianity in Arabia. Khadija and Waraka ibn Nawfal were probably Ebionite Christians. Ebionites followed Jewish dietary laws and didn’t believe Jesus was God. Of course you know the reason Muslims will never accept your argument is because they believe that Islam is the original monotheism which was corrupted by the others.

Maybe you should read it more carefully then as I explained there why.

And can you prove that G-d (SWT) isn't?

Not going to answer this?
