Title: Followers of Christianity are known as Christians.
Tags:
Blog Entry: Christians claim that Christianity is based on the life and teachings of Hazrat Isa (Jesus Christ).They believe that God sent Hazrat Isa as the savior of mankind. But Christianity in its original form was nothing but Islam. Hazrat Isa (as ) taught his people that God is one and He has no partner, no son, no father and that he is his messenger. Today Christians believe that Hazrat Isa is son of God and is a par t of God. They call him the lord of the universe and associate him with God. This is totally against the true and original teaching of Hazrat Isa (as ). The Quran tells us very clearly that Hazrat Isa (as ) did not say what Christians believe but he said what we Muslim believe. Quran also confirms that the true followers of Hazrat Isa (as) were Muslims. “And behold! I inspired the disciples to have faith in Me and Mine messenger: They said,We have faith and do thou bear witness that we bow to Allah as Muslims.” (5:111) “Then Allah (S.W.T) will say: Isa, son of Mariam, did you ever say to mankind: ‘Worship me and my mother as gods besides Allah? “Glory to You,’ he will answer, ‘how could I say that to which I have no right? If I had ever said so, You would surely have known it. You know what is in my mind, but I can not tell You what is in Yours. You alone know what is hidden. I spoke to them nothing except what You bade me. (I said): ‘Serve Allah (S.W.T), my Lord and your Lord’. I watched over while living in their midst, and ever since You took me to You, You Yourself have been watching over them. You are the witness of all things. If You punish them, they surely are Your servants; and if You forgive them, surely You are Mighty Wise.” (5: 116-118) This shows that the Christian’s claim that they follow the teachings of Hazrat Isa is not correct. Hazrat Isa had never taught what Christians believe today. Thus the true followers of Hazrat Isa are not Christians but Muslims. Muslims also believe that Injil was the Divine Book which was revealed to Hazrat Isa by Allah (S.W.T). The present Bible (New Testament) which Christians believe as a Divine Book is not the original Divine Book (Injil) which was revealed to Hazrat-e-Isa. Thus, Muslims strongly believe that Hazrat Isa was the true messenger of Allah (S.W.T) who taught the basic beliefs and teachings of Islam. Today Christians do a lot of things which are totally against the teaching of Hazrat Isa. The religious center of Christianity is Rome, which was never even visited by him. Thus, history shows that Christianity has no connection with Hazrat Isa and his basic teachings. Thus, both Jews and Christians claim that their religion is based on monotheism, but they don’t believe in the absolute oneness of God. Quran reveals: “The Jews call Uzayr a son of God, and the Christians call Christ the son of God. That is a saying from their mouth. They imitate what the unbelievers of old times used to say. Allah’s curse be on them, “How they are deluded away from the truth.” (9:30) The religions such as Hinduism and Zoroastriaanisim etc., have been so badly changed that it is difficult to trace out their origin. We can not say anything about their original teachings and original beliefs. Buddhism, Jainism, Confucianism, Shintoism, and Sikhism are the thoughts of human minds and cannot be considered as Divine religion.
