A religion that differs from Christianity

Ravi Zacharias – Islam (42: 11)

            According to Zacharias, Mohamed was born in 570AD and was raised by his uncle who took custody after his father passed on three months before his birth while his mother passed on while he was six years. His uncle later died and while he was twenty five years of age, he married an older and widowed wife of forty years and was wealthy and they all lived in a happy marriage. At thirty years he started experiencing dreams as he was in a cave. At that time he would visit the cave and get revelations that were given to him (Kindred 2:49). In making comparisons between the Muslim founder, Mohamed and Joseph is as great as most of them lived a lived a life similar. Mohamed received a lot encouragement from his wife as he wanted to commit suicide as most believed that he was crazy (Kindred 5:20). Mohamed and the Islamic religion believe in Allah which means recite (Kindred 3:49). Most of scholars believe that Mohamed was illiterate and that Koran was the only miracle that occurred to Mohamed. Her wife became her first convert and they all believed there is only one God who created heaven and earth (Kindred 5:30). Allah comes from the same foundation as elohim and the concept of the eternity is in all the two (Kindred 6:19). Allah is in singular while elohim is in plural. Unity in diversity that usually unites humanity and religion begins with man while theology begins with God. Christianity is the only religion that can be able to explain the concept of diversity through their belief in the Holy trinity as compared to the Muslim religion (Kindred 8:20). Concept of communication and love is found in the doctrine of the trinity as supported by the Christians (Kindred 9:25). In Muslim religion, it is hard to explain the whole life of a person and thus they are not able to explain the unity of diversity.

            Islam is one of the religions where secular cannot survive it and not the other way round. The Islamic religion are faithful in their time of prayer as they find spots to pray at any time with all the hard circumstances and they are committed to make their prayers. Christians believe that they have a relationship with their creator and this is witnessed in the way they pray (Kindred 16:20).

            However, according to Jesus Christ in the Christian faith, he advocated for love and this is the same gospel that we all should preach regardless of our diversities in the religion. Thus we all should pray for one another even against our enemies a God himself does not want any one of the humanity to perish but rather to have eternity life and this is one thing that these two religions agree on about eternity. Thus we should basically focus on the fight against any form of ideology o wars so that we may be able to witness to all our enemies and share the love as well as kindness. We should thus change our attitude towards all the other religions being gentle with one another and this is what is important and not the justification of the religion that is right than the other.
