Is Islam the only universal religion out of the major monotheistic world religions?
"...And they say: "None shall enter paradise unless he be a Jew or a Christian." Those are their (vain) desires. Say: "Produce your proof if you are truthful." Nay whoever submits his whole self to Allah and is a doer of good, he will get his reward with his Lord; on such shall be no fear nor shall they grieve."
Qur'an 2:111-112
You can only be a Jew if your mother is one.
therefore Judaism isn't truly universal
Jesus said "I am only sent for the lost sheep of Israel" (Matthew, 15:24)
therefore Christianity isn't truly universal
Prophet Muhammad said
"All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over a black nor a black has any superiority over white except by piety and good action."
Judaism doesn't require a person to be Jewish to enter paradise. Jews who keep the 613 matzot and a non-Jew who keeps only the seven Laws of Noah, of which most are fulfilled just by participating in ordered society, have an equal share in paradise.
As such, your claim (and the Qu'ran's) that Judaism is not a universal religion is simply false.
No, it is not. In fact, it is not "universal" at all.
The Quran teaches to murder anyone who is not Muslim.
I am not Muslim and so Islam is not for me.
Therefore it is not "universal".
The universality of Jesus Christ cannot be ignored. He said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man comes to the Father but through Me". Christ is the ONLY way to God.
Muhammad was a false prophet because he failed to acknowledge Jesus as the Son of God. Therefore, all that Muhammad wrote, he wrote on his own initiative and carries absolutely no weight as a prophet. The Qu'ran has a single author, was completed in his lifetime, and would more appropriately be called "The Philosophy for This Age". It is one of the reasons it is so horribly out of date.
No, Islam is NOT the only universal religion out of the major monotheistic world religions. The followers of the original monotheistic religion, the religion of Adam and Noah, were called Yirei HaShem, "God Fearers." After the Covenant with Israel was made at Sinai, we who were NOT there became known as "Righteous Gentiles," or as we're known today, "Noachides." Islam is a pale reflection on this original, righteous and just religion. To be honest, Islam does preach most of the same Seven Laws as we God Fearers hold by, but Islam's greatest failing is that it falsely claims to have been instituted by a prophet of God, and thus come from God. This false claim is a violation of one of the Noachide Laws, as opposed to come from God, Islam is in fact a false religion, and therefore lies about what God wants from mankind.
Just ONE example of how we know Mohammad was a false prophet is the fact that Mohammad misrepresents what the Torah says in several places, Since what God told Moses is well known and well supported by all the evidence, we know Mohammad was lying, and since it is claimed Mohammad was a prophet, but now we know he lied, this proves Mohammad was a false prophet.
What are a few examples of lies Mohammad told?
1) Mohammad claimed Ishmael, and not Isaac, was nearly sacrificed on Mount Mariah. Mohammad was wrong; it was Isaac after all.
2) Mohammad claimed that the Christian concept of a trinity was god the father, god the son, and Mary, but this is also false. God knows what Christians claim the trinity is, and God would not have misrepresented this to Mohammad, thus we know Mohammad did not hear of this trinity from God.
3) Mohammad claimed the Torah was perverted by man, and thus the original Torah is lost, but Mohammad failed to explain how God's Divine Plan could have been thwarted by mere men. If God gave His Word to man, would God allow His Word to become corrupted, or would God find a way to preserve it no matter what? Does Mohammad suppose God did not know the future, so God failed to see that His Word might become corrupt, and thus not make any plans to keep that from happening? If the Jews at some time changed the Word of God, when and how did this happen? Mohammad never tells us. Could God have told Mohammad such a thing but not explain how it happened, or are we supposed to take it "on faith"?
Once one man or one committee of men in a certain location corrupted their copy of the Torah, how did they compel all the rest of the Jews in the world to forsake their original Torahs for the new, corrupted one? Does Mohammad not know that the wide dispersal of the Torah to all sorts of diverse and far-flung places would ensure the Torah's survival in its original form? You see, God DID take steps to ensure His Torah was never going to be corrupted! The very fact that the sons of Israel were scattered throughout the world is both a fulfillment of Bible prophecy and part of God's divine plan to keep His Torah pure!
Yes, Islam is monotheistic. No, Islam is NOT the only universal religion out of the major monotheistic world religions. Islam is not even a TRUE faith, but is a perversion of the Torah as told by a false prophet, an illiterate man who could not even convince an angel of God to teach him how to read and write in all the years Mohammad was supposedly having conversations with this angel!
Islam does not only have pagan roots but is completely pagan. It is rooted in paganism. Muslims believe in Allah but this very Allah is a moon god.
Here is why I say so:
It is an established archaeological fact that worship of the moon-god was the main religion of the ancient Middle East. But what about the Arabian Peninsula, where Mohammed ( 570-632) launched Islam? During the last two centuries, prominent archaeologists have unearthed thousands of inscriptions which prove beyond any doubt that the dominant religion of Arabia during Mohammed's day was the cult of the moon-god.
In fact, for generations before Mohammed was born, the Arabs worshiped some 360 pagan gods housed at a stone temple in Mecca called the Kabah. According to archaeologists, the chief deity of Mecca was the moon-god called AL-ilah ( meaning the god or the idol), which was shortened to Allah in Prue-Islamic times. Pagan Arabs even used Allah in the names they gave themselves: Mohammed's father (Abdallah), for example, had Allah as part of his name.
What History Says about Allah: Historians say that Prue-Islamic Arabs worshiped the moon-god by bowing in prayer toward Mecca several times a day. They would also make a pilgrimage to Mecca, run around the Kabah seven times and throw stones at the devil. And they fasted for one month, which began with the appearance of the crescent moon and ended when the crescent moon reappeared.
These same rites form the core of Islam today: Muslims bow in prayer toward Mecca; they make a pilgrimage to Mecca and run around the Kabah seven times; and they still throw stones at the devil. They also observe the fast of Ramadan, which begins and ends with the crescent moon. Moreover, the ancient symbol of the pagan moon- god, the crescent moon, is the official symbol of Islam; it appears on the flags of Muslim countries, as well as on the tops of mosques and minarets everywhere.
Historians say that Mohammed, who as a travelling trader was exposed to Judaism and Christianity during his visits to different parts of the Middle East, tried to mimic those monotheistic faiths by taking Allah, the main deity within the Arabian pantheon, and making it the only god. Indeed, the basic confession of Islam is not that "Allah is Great" but that "Allah is Greater". Greater than all the other idols, that is.
But Islam also draws from other pagan traditions. For example, the tale of Mohammed's night journey into heaven parallels the Zoroastrian story of Arta Viraf. Zoroastrianism also inspired the Islamic belief that dark-eyed virgins await every man who enters heaven. And the Islamic ritual of praying five times a day? That, historians say, originates with the Sabeans, Syrian pagans who practiced an ecumenical mixture of Babylonian and Hellenic religion. Animism too has it's influence on Islam.
Thus, everything that is there in Islam is pagan. The kaaba, allah, stone throwing, praying 5 times, fasting during the holy month etc.
You forgot to mention some of the following
Mohammad preached Arab Superiority
"Arabs are the most noble people in lineage, the most prominent, and the best in deeds." Tabari IX 69
Mohammad preached Inter-Arab Racism
Superiority of One Tribe Over Another
Narrated Jabir bin Samura: I heard the Prophet saying, "There will be twelve Muslim rulers (who will rule all the Islamic world)." He then said a sentence which I did not hear. My father said, "All of them (those rulers) will be from Quraish." Sahih Bukhari 9:89:329
Mohammad was only for his Arab tribe and he was not a prophet.
Is Islam the only universal religion out of the major monotheistic world religions?
