H.P Owen said that “it is impossible to conceive of a command without also thinking of a commander” which means that if there are moral laws, then there must a lawgiver who set them. Moral codes are based on religion and are compared to the standards set by religious teachings. Moral behaviour is judged on whether it agrees or disagrees with the teaching of God and religion, and this will determine whether it is to be considered right or wrong. For example, Evangelical Christians follow the teachings from the Bible, whereas Muslims base their morals on teachings of the Quran. Although there are different sources, morality all depends on teachings from religious sources of authority.
They also believe that unbelievers can commit sin cause they do not fear Allah ,Ask a Muslim why you will not take what is not his and would say because of the teaching of our religion. 5.The Question of Destiny-The Muslims beliefs our similar to the Christian beliefs that they believe in Paradise(Christian calls Heaven) and Hell. They believe that they will reach Paradise by their good works. Thy also believe that like the Christian that if they do not accept God(Allah to the Muslim) that their eternal state is
Both Christianity and Islam have a communitarian dimension: what the church is to Christianity the "umma" is to Islam. Muslims and Christians believe there is only one God / Allah. The basic testimony of Islam is called the 'shahada', the first clause of which states that "la ilaha illa Allah" -- "There is no god but God." This is certainly a statement that Christians would affirm. Many of the Muslim beliefs come from the Bible.
Therefore, there must have existed a first mover independent of anything else, this being God – the prime mover. The Kalam cosmological argument is an Islamic argument that tries to prove there is a cause for the existence of the world. It believes that everything that begins to exist has a cause of its existence. The universe began to exist therefore; the universe has a cause for its existence. The Muslims who initiated the kalam cosmological argument believe that it is obvious that God is the cause for the universe and so they do not look for evidence instead they believe God simply is the answer.
He doth regulate all affairs, explaining the signs in detail, which ye may believe with certainty in the meeting with your Lord”. Islam and Christianity take a monotheistic (belief in one GOD) approach when it comes to religion. Muslims recognize Allah as the Creator and Christians recognize GOD as the Creator. Both religions believe that human beings have the ability (free will) to choose between good and evil. Another eye opener for me is that Muslims believe that Jesus Christ was born to the Virgin Mary and at the end of the world, Jesus Christ will come again.
The revelations that Muhammad received are now considered to pivotal text included within the Islamic Qur’an (Islamic bible). It is important to note when trying to understand Islam, that around 631 A.D. Muhammad was able to enter into the city of Mecca and convert all the Arabic tribes to Islam. Islam and Christianity are similar in many ways, however the main difference in the religions lies in their beliefs that God is singular, Jesus was just a prophet, Jesus was not crucified, heaven can be obtained by the works of man (doing good deeds, or bad deeds), and the concept of Trinity is unconceivable. Muslims believe that Allah will judge everyone in the afterlife based on whether or not they had a good belief system, and whether they fulfilled their obligations to Islam. Muslims are obligated to do the
The oneness of God, the prophethood of Muhammad, and the concept of life postmortem are the rudimental articles of its faith. They are predicated on reason and sound logic. All of the teachings of Islam flow from those basic beliefs and are simple and straightforward. There is no hierarchy of priests, no farfetched abstractions, no perplexed rites or rituals. Muslims believe that god is one while most Christians believe that God is three persons in one and most Jews believe that Aliazer is the son of god.
As previously stated, in order to be a KoF, you must be willing to nullify the ethical standards you are most accustomed to in order to comply to the declaration of God or any other divine or spiritual medium. The definition of a Tragic Hero, (TH) is quite easy to understand. A TH can also be a good or bad guy, also depending on your religious stance and how you view the biblical accounts of the story of Abraham and Isaac. The TH is the person who will never defy the moral ethics of
Analyse how Islam through the principal beliefs, sourced form the sacred texts, guides the individual in achieving inner and world peace Islam teaches a belief in seven articles of faith, also known as the religion’s principal beliefs. These seven articles of faith are Tawhid, Angels, the Books of Allah, Rusul, last judgement, Akhira and the supremacy of Allah’s will. It is through these principal beliefs that the individual is guided in achieving inner and world peace. Tawhid is the declaration that Allah is one. He is all-knowing, ever-present and all-good.
Similarities and differences are found in these empires through religious, economical, and governmental factors. The first and most important factor to look at when comparing the two empires is their differences and similarities is the empires’ outlook on religion. One common similarity both groups shared was how they based their life off a monotheistic religion. The Byzantines ran their empire through Christianity, a belief based off the teachings and life of Jesus Christ, and the thought that there is only one true God. The Caliphates were influenced by Islam, a religion that believes there is only one God named Allah, and Muhammad is His prophet.
