Is Worshipping Allah Idolatrous for Catholics?

[Ontheway]

The CCC states as follows:

816 "The sole Church of Christ [is that] which our Savior, after his Resurrection, entrusted to Peter’s pastoral care, commissioning him and the other apostles to extend and rule it. . . . This Church, constituted and organized as a society in the present world, subsists in (subsistit in) the Catholic Church, which is governed by the successor of Peter and by the bishops in communion with him."267

And then…

823 "The Church . . . is held, as a matter of faith, to be unfailingly holy. This is because Christ, the Son of God, who with the Father and the Spirit is hailed as ‘alone holy,’ loved the Church as his Bride, giving himself up for her so as to sanctify her; he joined her to himself as his body and endowed her with the gift of the Holy Spirit for the glory of God."289 The Church, then, is "the holy People of God,"290 and her members are called "saints."291

In the Apostles’ Creed we acknowledge this by stating that we believe in “one, holy, catholic and apostolic church”.

Our faith is in Jesus Christ, the son of God.

When we choose to worship Allah with the Muslims, we leave out our faith in Christ.
This is no longer Christianity.

You are right servant. It says indeed together with us adore the ONE TRUE GOD.

They believe in the God of Abraham the same as us. They pray to the God of Abraham the same as us.

There is no wrong in the way they pray, or the prayers they pray to God our Father he hears and welcomes prayers from all.

The problem as I stated is the understand of the teachings of the One True God is where we differ. Not in our prayers and our Love and trust for our God.

I’m with you 100% dear rinnie.

God bless you angel

I am sorry but I can not go on your level of understanding. I can understand a Muslim saying this, I truly can. They do not see Christ in the Trinity.

But how can a Christian with the true understanding of God in the 3 person of the Trinity pray to the Father without the Son and the Holy Spirit?

How can our faith in Jesus Christ the Son of God be left out when we pray to the One God that muslims pray to???

You cannot separate the Trinity from the One God!

There is either ONE TRUE GOD the God of Abraham or there is not. Now you explain to me how they can pray to God the Father of Abraham and avoid Christ and the Holy Spirit?

ITs like saying just because someone does not understand english, english does not exist.

Muslims believe in a god, but not Thee True God. They do not worship the Triune God, they worship a false god. A god that denies Christ as Savior.

Jesus was explaining to the Jewish leaders WHO He was when He said, “I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.”

The leaders were perplexed, so Christ explained His statement, "“You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. I told you that you would die in your sins, for *unless you believe that I am he *you will die in your sins.”

Jesus goes on in the passage to claim that if one holds to His teaching, the person is "truly [His] disciple and the person would “know the truth”. What “truth”? Christ dialogs with the leaders who claim to be “children of Abraham”. They said, “Abraham is our father.” Christ replies, ““If you were Abraham’s children, you would be doing the works Abraham did…” Jesus goes on to say, ““If God were your Father, you would love me…” He finishes with, " Whoever is of God hears the words of God. The reason why you do not hear [the words of God] is that you are not of God.”

A little further down Christ talks about His sheep hearing His voice- His sheep know His voice. A Muslim denies Christ’s deity and they deny the Cross. They deny the resurrection. They make the Savior out as a liar. Are they hearing His voice? No. So they are not His sheep and do not know the “truth” therefore they are not set free by Him.

A Muslim can be drawn to Christ by the Father and receive Him as Savior (and cease to be Muslim), but without Christ there is no salvation. You deny the CHRIST the Son, you deny the Father. I as a Christian, do not worship the god of Islam.

I just rejoined the thread and happened to read your post alone. Excellent post!
