| | | | | | | | | | | |  Dear Friend,
Greetings & Peace from 877-WHY-ISLAM.
Muslims respect and venerate Jesus Christ. They consider him to be one of God's greatest messengers to humankind. The Qur'an re-affirms his miraculous birth and his miraculous abilities. Furthermore, his mother Mary is regarded as one of the most pure and exalted women of all creation.
In this edition, you will find an introduction of Islam's view on Jesus (upon him be peace) and Christianity.

|  Concept of God in Christianity
Christianity and Islam are the two largest religions in the world having estimated populations of 2.1 and 1.5 billion adherents, respectively. These two great world religions have many similarities with each other. In fact, Islam is the only religion after Christianity that accepts the miraculous birth of Jesus (peace be upon him) and has a high level of respect for him and his mother, Mary - a virtuous and chaste women after whom a whole chapter of the Quran is titled (Chapter 19). There are also differences with respect to the status of Jesus (peace be upon him) and the concept of God, as currently practiced.

|  What they say about Prophet Muhammad
During the centuries of the crusades, all sorts of slanders were invented against the Prophet Muhammad (p). However, with the birth of the modern age, marked with religious tolerance and freedom of thought, there has been a great change in the approach of Western authors in their delineation of his life and character.
The West, however, has yet to go a step forwardRead more |  Morality and Ethics in Islam
Islam as a comprehensive way of life encompasses a complete moral system that is an important aspect of its world-view. We live in an age where good and evil are often looked at as relative concepts. Islam however, holds that moral positions are not relative, and instead, defines a universal standard by which actions may be deemed moral or immoral
Islam's moral system is striking in that it not only defines morality, but also guides the human race in how to achieve it, at both an individual as well as a collective level.
