Brief Synopsis:
This work aims at helping those who are in search of the True religion. There are many who question their existing traditional, philosophical and religious beliefs and set on a search for truth about god. This book is an invitation for such questioning minds to look closely and deeply into the reality of Islam and find answers. This book presents:
- Basic Islamic beliefs and concepts
- Numerous facts about Prophet Jesus, abandoned teachings of the Bible that were revived by Islam.
- Proofs from the Bible about the Prophet-hood of Muhammad (SAW).
- Arguments refuting the doctrines of original sin and redemption.
This treatise connects Islam and Christianity proving that both religions have come from Allah. It rectifies many misinterpretations of the Bible and messages of Allah to enlighten the Believers.
Description:
Each person is born into a religious environment that is not of his or her own choice; a child is raised in the religion or ideology of his or her family, society or culture. Even as a newborn, he or she is assigned the religion of his family or the ideology of the state; in some countries the child's assigned religion is even recorded on his or her birth certificate. By the time individuals reach their teens they usually have accepted the beliefs of their parents or that of their particular society, feeling that they have little choice in the matter.
However, individuals often encounter or are exposed to various beliefs and ideologies throughout the course of their lives leading many to question long-held beliefs, traditions or philosophical ideas. They begin to question the validity of their.own beliefs. Seekers of truth often reach a point of confusion upon realizing that believers of every religion, sect, ideology and philosophy all claim to have the one and only truth.
So, which religion is the right one and how can the seeker of truth know it? This is the main subject of this work.
