Microsoft Word - A COMPARISON BETWEEN ISLAM, CHRISTIANITY AND JUDAISM AND THE CHOICE BETWEEN THEM..docx

(WallPaper) #1
Ask a Shiite who are the worst of God creation the will say the companions of the
prophet of Allah.

The companions were the first to believe in the message of the prophet and had
nothing to gain from their belief; they indeed are the best of Allah’s creation after
the prophets.

So as has been alluded to the true followers of the real message of Islam are the
followers of Ahlus Sunnah.


It is worth clarifying the meaning of the Sunnah and of Ahlus-Sunnah (the people of
the Sunnah) in order to see those beyond it—those who invent things and call it
Islam, the people of misguided innovation.


The Sunnah is: that which the Prophet (pbuh) and his companions did, in terms of
belief, statements, deeds, and conditions.


"Ahlus-Sunnah," as a technical term, has two meanings: general and particular.


As for the general usage: what is meant is what is compared to the Shiites, which
would include all groups that associate themselves with Islam—except for the
Shiites—in the meaning of Ahlus-Sunnah.


As for the particular usage: what is meant is what is compared to the innovators
(Ahlul-Bidah) and purveyors of invention in religion, such as the Shiites, the Khawarij, the Murji'ah, the Jahmiya, and the Muatazila, the Sufis, and other
innovators like them. These would be included in the meaning of Ahlus-Sunnah


The scholars of Ahlus-Sunnah stood up to the innovators. They refuted those who
made false philosophical speculations about the Being of Allah (Mighty & Majestic)
and His Attributes. They refuted the Jahmiya, the Mu`atazila, and others. If they had
not, atheism and denial of the Existence of God would have found its way into the
Islamic World as it found its way into the Western World.


So glory be to Allah for the blessing that is Islam, and that he guided us to the path of
Ahlus-Sunnah the true followers of the final Prophet.


And from the enemies of Islam: we find they use the names of Allah almighty to
suggest that the religion is somehow oppressive. This according to their own
desirous interpretations. The two names in question are Al-Jabbar and Al-
Mutakkabir, two of the name for Allah in the Quran.


Let us start by first clarifying that when the enemies of Islam attack Islam it is more
often then not because of a misunderstanding whether that be deliberate or
otherwise, this make their reporting’s and finding biased and untrustworthy you
will find examples of misquotations and sentences left out or part of the quotation to
suit them leaving the other part unmentioned, they are completely unreliable as
authorities on Islam.
