Islam, other religions and forgiveness

Islam, other religions and forgiveness Islam teaches that all people deserve respect and should be treated in an appropriate manner. However, their religious beliefs can not be accepted as true. They must however, nor be forced to change these beliefs and views. ‘‘I respect you as a person, but can not accept your religion as true…we don’t need to fight!’’ “There is no compulsion where the religion is concerned. ” (Holy Quran: 2/ 256)

People of the Book Surah 2 of the Qur’an makes an exception for ‘People of the Book’. Jews, Christians and Sabians are all classed as people of the book and therefore of they worship one God, behave morally and are righteous then they will have their reward with God (a place in heaven. This position is only given to these religions and not for example Hindus, Buddhists or Sikhs. Can you think why this may be?

Dawah Islam is a proselytising religion, just like Christianity, that actively aims to spread the news and word of the faith in order to save others. Proselytising – attempting to convert others to their belief In the UK, there is a vibrant street Dawah scene (Dawah means invitation in Arabic)

‘‘Religions people should not be allowed to try and convert you to their faith’’

Reversion not conversion

Damien or Abdul Karim as he is now known, is a Muslim revert. The term revert is used as it is a belief in Islam that all humans are born with a sense of right and wrong, and virtue. Essentially, we are all born Muslims but our upbringing and experiences change this. The first Prophet was Adam (pbuh) and we are all his descendants. Therefore the term for those who come to Islam is ‘revert’ rather than ‘convert’
