Islam and Rationality

| Islam
secures consistency and rationality of belief through its logical and
rational principles. Islam is embraced strongly by its followers.
Islam keeps the Muslim away from ideological confusion, because it
has no illogical or irrational principles that are not consistent wrong
with one another.

Clear concept of Allah Islam does not cause confusion to the believer concerning Allah. Allah is one in Islam. Allah has no son or father. Allah has no parallel or equal. According to Islam, Jesus (Peace Be Upon Him) is not the son of Allah. Jesus is Allah's apostle. So is Moses and he so is Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Them). So are all Prophets and Apostles. Allah has no son or sons.
To believe that God is
unique, and vastly superior to His creation, and yet has a son is
inconsistent. This lowers God to a human, carnal level. |

In today's
Christianity, it is said that God had His son killed in order to save
humanity With all respect to our Christian friends, it is difficult to
accept this, because it is against the justice and might of God. Why
should God kill to save? It is unfair to kill an innocent person to save
others. In addition, Allah does not need to kill anyone to save
others. Allah can save without killing. Further, it is difficult to
see the relationship between killing and saving. It is difficult to
convince a person of how, if Allah kills his son, other men are
saved. Further, it is difficult to convince people that Allah
killed his only son, when he should protect him. |
||
| Allah Has No
Son In Islam, this issue is clear, logical, and rational. In Islam, Allah is one. Allah has no son. Allah does not kill. A person is not saved by God's killing another person. In Islam, you are saved or doomed by yourself and your deeds. In Islam, Allah shows us the right path and the wrong path through the Noble Qur-an. Our responsibility is to choose either path. Each one of us is saved or doomed according to his choice and, consequently, according to his deeds. |

Jesus
(Peace Be Upon Him) did not
say he was Allah. Jesus said, "I do nothing of myself." This would
indicate that the miracles of Jesus are given to him by Allah, like
all apostles before and after. He also said, "I am not yet ascended to my
Father, but go to my brethren and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father
and your Father, and to my God and your God." |
||
| This
means that Jesus
(Peace Be Upon Him)
refers to God as a father metaphorically, because he says that God is
his Father and their Father. If Jesus is Allah, how did Allah
kill him or have him killed? According to Islam, Jesus is a man, an
exemplary man, a holy man, a apostle chosen by God to be a model for the
people to whom he was sent.
