What an absurd statement to make it seem that it’s somehow God fault for turmoil in that region for linking them all to Jerusalem. Anyway muslims have mecca and Christians have Rome -and they are miles apart.
Agreed. And what purpose that Islam must go to Jerusalem and build a mosque on top of the ancient location of temple, and to convert Hagia Sophia church to be a mosque, in Constantinople? Sounds like to conquer both Judaism and Christianism to me.
The prophet phuh, ascended to heaven from this place, so it is sacred to Islam also, why would God bring these three religions together in one place?
Ishmael was the first to be circumcised by Abraham and so Islam came first and symbolises FAITH. Judaism came from Isaac who was born after Abraham had persevered in hope and symbolises HOPE. Christianity came through Jesus Christ the promised Messiah (Savior) who is simultaneously Son of God and descendant of David. Christianity symbolises LOVE. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. (1Cor 13:13)
Fundamental lack of understanding. The two newest most populated religions in the world are Christology and Islam. Islam is dated to 610 CE and Christology to 30 CE. And thats Archaelogy combined with Geography to give us accurate History.
Islam certainly existed even before Prophet Mohammed. Are you denying the fact that there were 12 circumcised tribes of Ishmael. Are you saying that Jethro (an Ishmaelite), Moses’ father-in-law did not receive the Law through Moses
I’m saying no Islam before Mohammad plain and simple. Thats more false interpretation of the Bible which has nothing to do with Islam or the Quran…Period. It cannot be Historically proved. Its an assumption…Period.
I wonder if you are qualified to say so. The Bible says in plain words that Jethro was the Priest of Midian (Exodus 3:1). Of which religion? It was certainly NOT Judaism. The whole world knows that Prophet Mohammed is a descendant of Ishmael. The Bible tells us that Ishmael was the first to be circumcised by Abraham. The Bible also tells us that God blessed the Ishmaelites to be one of the most populous peoples on earth. Are you so thick that you can’t understand these simple biblical truths.
Little attitude when the world doesn’t agree with you I see. Your “opinion” is the Bible according to Islamic View.
True but I’m looking for more of a theological/academic/cultural work.You can always try the Qur’an.
I can’t speak much for other than Islam really. I think you’ll have to probably buy at least 3 books, I know of no single book that covers what you say and I’ve wanted one for about 10 years. I would suggest buying books by respected academics of that faith because there is no point interpretting a religion by other than the way they understand it, the BBC/religion website is probably the best first port of call, its really really good. One World Publications has a nice selection about all facets of religion written by well renound academics also anything from Oxford or Cambridge University are always superb. I understand that Fr Hans Kung’s book on Islam is very good and is detailed also the orientalist of SUNY William Chittick and his wife did a really good overview of Islam called the Vision of Islam. In terms of a good book for the main aspects of the religion, something you might get for a degree in Islamic Studies then I’d recommend
