6 Doctrines of Islam

Over the years of done some studying on the religion of Islam and here is some of what I have found:

God: Muslims believe there is only one true God and his name is Allah. Allah is all seeing all knowing and all powerful. He is able to do whatever he wants including evil. This contradicts the Christian view of God. The Lord is all seeing, knowing and powerful, however, He can do no wrong. It is against his nature therefore, if he did evil he could not be God. Muslims also do not believe there are three persons (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) in the God head. There are, in fact, three persons in the God head, Father, Son, and Holy spirit, and these three are one God the same in substance, equal in power and glory.

Angels: Muslims believe the chief angel is Gabriel, who is said to have appeared to Mohammed. There are also demons, the jinns, who follow Shaitan, a fallen angel. 

Scripture: Muslims believe in four god-inspired books: the Torah of Moses (the Pentateuch), the Zabur (Psalms), the Injil (Gospel) of Jesus, and the Qur'an. According to them, Christians and Jews corrupted the scriptures, however, and the Qur'an is Allah's final word to man kind. The Qur'an supersedes every other book. As Christians, we believe the Bible is God's word. We believe it is God breathed, and the final word of God. The Bible is above any other book. It is true.

Mohammed: Muslims believe that there were 28 prophets, including Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Jonah, and Jesus. Mohammed is the greatest prophet. Jesus was not a prophet. Jesus is the Son of God, and that he came to earth to die for our sins. He is our only way to be saved from our sins. Without Jesus we aren't even fit to live, only deserving hell. Jesus was not a prophet, he was God. 100% man, and 100% God. Holy, blameless, and without sin.


End times: On the last day, the dead will rise and all will be judged by Allah. Heaven is a place of pleasure, Hell is a place of suffering and those who oppose Allah are sent there.   On the last day, each will be judged. Those who did not accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, will be thrown into the lake of fire. Those who did will go to heaven. It is not through works that we are saved, but by grace. We can not save ourselves. To be saved, you must deny yourself, and follow Jesus. In the end, every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord. This includes Satan and all the demons, the angels, and every created thing.


Predestination: The Muslim believes Allah has determined what he pleases, and no one can change it. This is why Muslims say "If it is Allah's will." The Lord has a plan. His will will be fulfilled. He works all things together for good. This includes the work of evil men. God did not create sin, but sin is, instead, the absence of God.
