No religion is better than another.

But a person can be better than another by leading a moral life.

Kelz- Are you telling me other religions do not teach that?

They all equally suck. They all start wars over religion and like to force it down your throats and they are not tolerant of other religions.
Answer mine?

I really believe Christianity is the truth.

PEACE- we are monotheist. Christianity came before Islam and we worship the God of Abraham!

The Holy Trinity is one God.

Everyone is going to answer with their own religion. Even you would lean towards answering "theism". My opinion is Islam is better simply because it makes more sense and is monotheistic (no trinities) and is inclusive (no chosen people) . But Muhammad said, to you your religion and to mine; mine.

None are better than the others, or at least none of the respective "adherents" are better.

At times one religion will seem worse than others, but if you peer deeply into all their histories up to the present day you will see they all have had their high points, and you will also see that there have been times when the people have made their religion into something terrible...

I personally love Islam for it's deep sense of devotion and its strong sense of individual duty.

I also think Judaism does great good in the world, even though there is presently controversy.

I think the Bahais have a great attitude and are generally peaceful.

I am a Christian. I know that Christianity has done both great good and great harm. I am glad it sometimes recognizes its mistakes. My only wish is that it could realize where it is "currently" wayward, and not just in hindsight.

I think they all have the capacity to lead individuals to do great good, but they can all easily be misinterpreted (maybe with the exception of Bahai) and potentially cause great suffering and harm.

basically Ur ST is like this

All religions basically teach followers to do good deeds. y shad a Pren only follow Islam? Can he not follow any of the religions?

Answer
1:-All religions basically exhort mankind to be righteous and eschew evil. But Islam goes beyond that. It guides us towards practical ways of achieving righteousness and eliminating evil from our individual and collective lives.

EXAMPLE NO I"-

ZAKAT

Islam prescribes a system of Zakaat (obligatory annual charity). Islamic law prescribes that every person who has a saving that exceeds the Nissan level i.e. more than 85 grams of gold, should give 2.5% of that saving every lunar year in charity. If every rich person in the world gave Zakaat sincerely, poverty will be eradicated from this world. Not a single human being would die of hunger.

EXPL2"-

ELIMINATING ROBERY

All major religions teach that theft is an evil act. Islam teaches the same. So what is the difference between Islam and the other religions? The difference lies in the fact that Islam, besides teaching that robbing is evil, shows a practical way of creating a social structure in which people will not rob.


CHOPPING OF THE HANDS:-

Islam prescribes chopping off the hands of the convicted robber.

The Glorious Qur?an says in Surah Maidah:

"As to the thief, male or female, cut off his or her hands:a punishment by way
of example, from Allah, for their crime: and Allah is Exalted in power, full of wisdom."
[ Al-Qur?an 5:38]

The non-Muslim may say,

"Chopping off the hands in this 20th century. Islam is a barbaric and ruthless religion!"


RESULTS WHEN ISLAMIC SHARIAH WILL BE THR:-

America is supposed to be one of the most advanced countries in the world. Unfortunately it also has one of the highest rates of crime, theft, and robbery. Suppose the Islamic shariah is implemented in America i.e. every rich person gives Zakaat ( 2.5% of his savings in charity above 85 grams of gold every lunar year), and every convicted robber has his or her hands chopped off as a punishment. Will the rate of theft and robbery in America increase, remain same or decrease? Naturally it will decrease. Moreover the existence of such a stringent law would discourage many a potential robber.

I agree that the amount of theft that takes place in the world today is so tremendous that if you chop off the hands of all the thieves, there will be tens of thousands of people whose hands will be chopped off. The point here is that the moment you implement this law the rate of theft will decline immediately. The potential robber would give it a serious thought before jeopardizing his limbs. The mere thought of the punishment itself will discourage majority of the robbers. There will barely be a few who would rob. Hence only a few person?s hands would be chopped off but millions would live peacefully without fear of being robbed.

Islamic Shariah is therefore practical, and achieves results.


ISLAM HAS PRACTICAL SOL FOR MANKIND

Islam is the best way of life because its teachings are not doctrinaire rhetoric but practical solutions for the problems of mankind. Islam achieves results both at the individual and collective levels. Islam is the best way of life because it is a practical, universal religion not confined to any ethnic group or nationality.
