beliefs and practices and will be continuing to do so. These articles
discuss false beliefsin Christianity and additions that have entered
the faith at a laterdate that are incompatiblewith the Qur'an and stem
from misinterpretation of the Gospel. It also sets out the true
aspects of these. However, in reading and examining the articles in
question it is very important for our Christianbrothers to fully grasp
their true purpose and wisdom.
The aim behind these articles is not to run disparage Christians, to
invalidate the whole of the Gospel or to do away with Christianity
entirely. The true Gospel is praised in the Qur'an and confirmed as a
holy book given to the Prophet Jesus(pbuh). As revealed in verse 136
of Surat al-Baqara, Muslims say, " Say, 'We believe in Allah and what
has been sent down to us and what was sent down to Abraham and Ishmael
and Isaac and Jacob and the Tribes, and what Moses and Jesus were
given, and what all the prophets were given by their Lord. We do not
differentiate between any of them. We are Muslims submitted to Him '."
For that reason, and just like Christians, Muslims have a
responsibility to abide by the true provisions in the Gospel and to
praise the wise contents thereof. In that sense, these articles
aimedat Christians are a call to honesty, to the truth, to the true
Gospel. IT IS TO ENABLE CHRISTIANS to be freed from the false
practices and superstitioussubsequent additions that are nowhere in
the true Gospel revealed to the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) AND TO ENABLE
THEM TO BECOME TRUE CHRISTIANS WHO LIVE BY THE PROVISIONS OF THE TRUE
GOSPEL.
WE MUSLIMS WILL ALSO WANT CHRISTIANS TO BE TRULY DEVOUT. But, as
required by Allah's commandment in the Qur'an to "enjoin the right and
forbid the wrong" (Surah Al 'Imran, 104), we also have a
responsibility to lead Christians away from the errors they have
unwittingly fallen into andto show them the truth. For that reason,
and like all believers, it is of the greatest importance for
Christians to be warned against these dangers and called to the true
judgments set out by Allah, and to reason and logic.
Almighty Allah speaks in the Qur'an of the existenceof the People of
the Book (Christians and Jews). According to the Qur'an, the People of
the Book aretrue believers placed under Muslims' protection.Muslims
therefore have a duty to ensure the People of the Book abide by the
provisions of the Torah and the Gospel and to enable them to become
even more sincere and devout by showing them the truth. That is what
we are trying to do here.
The articles you will be reading discuss beliefs that have entered the
truefaith of Christianity over the years and which we are warned
against as dangers in the Qur'an. In setting out the verses of the
Qur'an that speak of these error, evidence will be provided that will
free the Gospel, Christians' ownHoly Book, from these errors. As with
all beliefs, there may be those Christians who adopt a radical
approach to matters, who are fixed in their attachment to these
beliefs we discuss and who have a prejudiced perspective regarding the
Qur'an. Our advice to the Christians in question is to read the
articles here objectively and to evaluate what is discussedthrough a
new, rational perspective. This will be instrumental, not in them
turning away from the provisions of the Gospel but, on the contrary,
IN THEIR EVALUATING THE GOSPEL IN A MORE HONEST MANNER AND LIVING EVEN
MORE PERFECTLY BY THE GOSPEL.
The Christian belief that the Prophet Jesus (pbuh)is the son of Allah
(Allah is beyond this), is a grave error – (1)
