Islam has contradictory opinions on how to regard Christians.98:6 "Christians are the worst of all life.">those who disbelieve from the People of the Book and the polytheists will be in the Fire of Hell, to stay there forever. They are the worst of ˹all˺ beings.5:82 "Christians are the closest to the believers.">You will surely find the most bitter towards the believers to be the Jews and polytheists and the most gracious to be those who call themselves Christian. >JizyaSince Christians believe in Allah, they can be spared if they pay Jizya, unlike the polytheists who are worse.>ShirkThe worst of all sins is worshipping Jesus.2:62 "Christians go to Heaven, or they did before Islam. (Scholars argue of the meaning).">Indeed, those who believed, and those who were Jews, Christians, or Sabians — whoever believed in Allah and the Last Day and did righteous deeds — shall have their reward with their Lord, and no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve.>MarriageMuslim men are allowed to marry Muslim women, or Christian women, or Jews, but not atheists or polytheists.There is no internal agreement on whether Christians are good or bad. Lol.
>>18483315>>MarriageNehemiah 13:23-26Also in those days I saw Jews who had married women of Ashdod, Ammon, and Moab. Half of their children spoke the language of Ashdod or the language of various peoples; they couldn’t speak the language of Judah.So I scolded them and cursed them, and beat some of them, and pulled out their hair. I also made them swear a solemn pledge in the name of God, saying, “You won’t give your daughters to their sons in marriage, or take their daughters in marriage for your sons or yourselves. Didn’t Israel’s King Solomon sin on account of such women? Among the many nations there was no king like him. He was well loved by his God, and God made him king over all Israel. Yet foreign wives led even him into sin!
>>18483422Don't marry the unbelievers or the pagan demon worshippers.
>>18483427There are no polytheists left except for the Hindus lol.
>>18483633Catholics pray to a thousand deities they call saints and 90% of the lore behind these saints is indistinguishable from pagan mythology.
>>18483635If u really think about it Sunni Islam is actually the largest unified religion in the world because Christianity is broken into many subreligions like Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox. And micro religions like mormon and jehovah witness.Lol.
Bump.
>>18483315Blaming religion for how people choose to act on it is a trope for intellectually lazy zealots. It is merely a reflection of the character.
>>18483315You got too cocky christian, and prematurely showed your hand of dissimilar cards. It's clear, except some scholarly discourse on the sincere monotheism one, judgement is reserved to Allah.>...till the clear proof came unto them. A messenger from Allah, reading purified pages, containing correct scriptures (Quran)>Lo! those who disbelieve, among the People of the Scripture and the idolaters, will abide in fire of hell. They are the worst of created beings (And) lo! those who believe and do good works are the best of created beings. (M. Pickthall)This is a general rebuke against those that deny the message when it's revealed to them, not against christains in particular. But if you felt 'the people of the Book' were exemplified in that verse, it's because despite the small differences, and the revelation (or atleast what you have of the Bible) being in your very palms, you still were led astray.>You are sure to find that the most hostile to the believers are the Jews and those who associate other deities with God; you are sure to find that the closest in affection towards the believers are those who say, ‘We are Christians,’ for there are among them people devoted to learning and ascetics (priests and monks). These people are not given to arrogance -5:82 (Qur'an by M.A.S Haleem)Its in the historic context of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) being asked to seek help from the Christians (abyssinians). It says socially, they are humble and amicable because of the influence of their clergymen, monks, ascetics. Well.. some christains are charitable and nice because they follow isa. Doesn't say anything regarding theological issues.Shirk is a grave sin, but 'christian' and 'jew' are broad labels, the actual position is simply that they commit theological errors, but they are not all the same and can't be judged the same.
>>18484109>they persistently rejected God’s messages and killed prophets unjustly. This is because they disobeyed and went beyond the limits. Yet they are not all alike: among the People of the Book are some who are upright, who recite God’s revelations throughout the night, who bow down in worship, who believe in God and the Last Day, who order what is right and forbid what is wrong, and who are quick to do good deeds. These people are among the righteous. and they will not be denied the reward for whatever good they do: God knows exactly who is conscious of Him. (3:111-115)
>>18483315>98 Revealed in Medina>5Revealed in Medina>2Revealed in MedinaBasically if you check, the chapters from Medina go 180 in direction from the ones from Mecca
