[Faith-talk] The concept of Monotheism in Islam. Please, read it carefully.

[qubit]

Hello.
I have been reading your posts on Islam, which are interesting, and I have 
some thoughts and comments for all of them, but this one in particular cries 
for some correction.
When you set out to share your love of islam, which is a good thing, I think 
you should take care to avoid lapsing into claims about the beliefs of 
others (here, Christians), that you may not understand.  The question of 
monotheism and the Trinity has engendered a lot of disagreement over the 
centuries, and Christians still differ in their understanding of it.
But one thing you have said in  several of your posts that is not true is 
that Christians believe that God is not able to atone for people's sins 
without sending a mediator and requiring him to die.  Perhaps it is 
splitting hairs, but the scriptures never say that God MUST send a mediator, 
but He CHOSE to send Christ  to help people in their spiritual development.
I heard once that there are 3 ways to teach or direct people -- you can tell 
them what to do, you can write it down so they can refer to it later, and 
you can come down and show them by example.    Christians believe God has 
done all 3.
People are limited beings and maybe we are the ones that need the life 
lessons and experience and that is why Jesus was sent.
Also, there is good and bad in every group of people.

Something else occurs to me -- My mother commented the other day that if 
Muslims believe Jesus was a prophet and a true Muslim, why don't they adhere 
to his teachings more?
I have a brother who has been studying the Quran for years and he believes 
that Muhammad was a prophet called to teach in his place and time in the 
600s.  You claim to value all prophets the same.  But it seems an inordinate 
amount of importance is placed on Muhammad and you don't believe there will 
be any more prophets.    Do you mean to say that Allah can't speak to anyone 
else? or that there is nothing more to say?
If course, many Christians don't believe in prophets after Jesus' time on 
earth either.  I disagree.  People have a tendency to grab onto what sounds 
right to them and then believe God can't or won't do more.  There is a 
biblical verse that says no scripture is of any private interpretation. Oh 
well.  Look at the plethora of private interpretations.

Anyway, I think it is good to share one's beliefs to help people understand 
each other better.  Thank you for your comments.
I am not a Muslim basher, but it does seem like there is a bit more 
senseless violence in Muslim cultures than other groups, but there again, 
there are stinkers in every group or belief system.  Have a nice month, and 
don't forget to set your clocks ahead this morning.

Dear all, peace be with you.

Today I would like to talk about the major essence of  monotheism in Islam.

The monotheistic faith is plainly explicit in Islam.

There is no ambiguity about that within Islam.

Well, Christianity on the other hand, it claims monotheism as well.

So which is it?

Could it be both?

In this episode I am going to thoroughly illustrate on that regard.

In the Noble Koran we have a chapter called the chapter of sincerity.

Scripturally, it is numbered as the 112 in the Koranic index.

It is comprehensive and brief.

I am going to translate its significance not its textual actuality in the 
section below.

“001; Say He is Allah the Uniquely One.

    002; Allah is The Self-Sufficient.

003; He begets not nor He is begotten.

  004; And noone is comparable to Him”.

this is indeed the chapter of sincerity, and it is the core of the 
monotheistic establishment within Islamic doctrines.

We all love this chapter, we all memorize these four verses by heart even 
children.

  The Islamic faith is essentially based on that major tennet.

I will now compose an analytically detailed commentaries of the translation 
of the  Koranic meaning which I provided in the section above.

I am theologically adequate to critically deduct from the Koranic context.

The genesis of the chapter of sincerity commands prophet Muhammad initially 
and us subsequently, to constantly adhere the denotative pronouncement of 
monotheism.

And that is the decisive articulation which asserts this unparalleled 
Oneness of Allah Glory be to Him.

Say He is Allah the Uniquely One.

It is the distinct Oneness which cannot be added to or subtracted from.

It is the oneness of the perfection in divinity.

This is why we intensely decline the oneness of God from the Christian 
perspective.

It is the oneness which is made into Trinity, and the genuine Oneness of 
Allah  cannot be added to or subtracted from, Glory be to Him.

Allah is not within His creation.

He has His singular divine presence which He never partakes with anyone, 
Glory be to Him.

God in Christianity is one but, he is not unique.

He is physically incarnated, portrayed and compared.

This is what they actually do, when they attempt to clarify the vagueness of 
the Trinity, they tend to compare its conception to material objects.

The Trinity has been likened to apples and eggs.

This is a definite profanation in Islam, and it is totally unacceptable to 
physically portray God as such.

Allah is Self-Sufficient.

Allah never demanded to await the sacrifice of someone in order to atone or 
penalize.

Allah is predominantly Omnipotent and sequentially, He is fully capable of 
atoning us without the discretion from anyone because He is splendiferously 
Omnipotent, Glory be to Him.

The belief in the redemption of Christ doubts the Eminent Transcendence of 
Allah Glory be to Him.

  The rational cause of why it does that it doubts the Ultimate Omnipotence 
of Allah Glory be to Him.

And some may ask; How it does?


The redemption of Christ signifys that God was not able to atone on his own.

That directly desecrates His self-sufficiency.

His autonomy is subjected to doubtfulness.

When God determined to create this universe, he did not consult or sought 
the permission of someone.

He just created the universe.

Have not he countenanced Christ for his cheerful compliance to create, that 
would have made some sense.

So how come that he did not rely on Christ to create and now he atones his 
creation with the redemption of Christ being the sacrificial lamb.

That does not make any sense to me, to be perfectly honest with you.


I would like to substantially highlight the grave importance of the Ultimate 
Omnipotence of Allah Glory be to Him which is enormously  missing in 
Christianity.

Christians believe in the omnipotence of god, but it is somehow conditional 
for them.

It is quite important to critically emphasize on that segment.

  If it is unconditional within Christianity, God would have not awaited to 
sacrifice his only begotten son according to Christianity in order to atone.

He would have rather bestowed His grace and atonement categorically.

  This is the crucial difference in between Islam and Christianity on that 
regard.

He begets not nor He is begotten.

We have an interesting fact here.

The usage of the term beget has its significance at this point.

In English, the term beget means to engender, to generate and to make 
children.

So the Koran negates that about Allah glory be to Him.

Why it does so?

Because begeting is an act of animality, and our Creator Glory be to Him is 
eminently exulted above that.

Consequentially, if He does not beget, He certainly is not begotten, Glory 
be to Him.

The Koran profoundly induces apposite  expressions to magisterially describe 
the Divine Entity of Allah Glory be to Him.

  And noone is comparable to Him.

Noone is comparable to His glorious mightiness.

He is much greater than to be compared to any physical dimensions or 
parameters.

Allah is not to be resembled into any physical depictions, this is enormous 
blasphemy to be seriously truthful with you.

We merely imply the transcendent attributes and characteristics to Allah 
Glory be to Him.

  I invite all of you to adhere the total submission and obedience to our 
Creator, and to eternally decease seeking from the creation.

They can do you no harm nor good.

Blessedly to Allah is all the dominion, and to Him it belongs all affairs.

I would love to convey the method of salvation to all of you.

It is the sincere submission to Allah alone, without associating any 
partners with him, either externally, or internally, directly, or 
indirectly, explicitly, or implicitly.


I love all of you in the sake of Allah Glory be to Him.

I love all the prophets of Allah and I do not avail some of them superiorly.

I hope you humbly  and open-mindedly would accept that devotional sentiment.

Please accept my apology, I never intended to mortify.

Do you want to forcefully convert us to Islam?

Not at all.

I am just sharing what I believe is the truth.

I am conveying the message, and that is my job.

I have no business to interfere between you and your own hearts.

I just intended to share the goodness, and I swear to Allah, no offence was 
meant.

Please be humble hearted, and let us all pray to be guided to the straight 
pathway.

I have willingly committed my temperament  to spread the true Monotheism 
domestically and overseas.

I love Christians.

May Allah guide us all to what pleases Him.

May we all prosperously endup in heaven.

This is our mirthfully mutual interest.

May Allah bestow His grace and mercy on all of those who have read this 
post, whether they agree or disagree with it.

I love you in the sake of Allah glory be to Him.

Finally, I look forward to hearing from you.

    Peace be with you.
