• The Teaching, Error and Dangers of Islam. Cp.
  Jn. 146

Introduction

Introduction

• It is arguably the fastest growing religion in
  the world.
• True or not, the number of people identified with
  Islam is about 1.2 1.8 billion, 2nd only to 2.1
  billion identified as Christian.
• There are approximately 1.35 million Muslims in
  the U.S.
• Accordingly, Islam would rank as the 2nd largest
  religious denomination in the U.S.

4
Introduction

• With these kinds of numbers what do we really
  know about the religion of Islam?
• Some might have acquaintances or friends who are
  Muslim.
• Most dont even know the difference between
  Islam and Muslim, apart from Islamic
  teachings.
• We might hear statements from adherents/leaders
  about their faith.

5
Introduction

• In this lesson we take a brief but factual look
  at Islam as well as its error and dangers that it
  poses to Christians.

6
The Five Pillars of Islam

• 1) Shahada (Islamic statement of faith read in
  Arabic)
• I profess that There is no God but Allah, and
  Mohammad is the Prophet of Allah.
• Sincere recitation of this confession of faith
  before of two Muslims is the sole requirement for
  those who wish to join the Muslim community.

7
The Five Pillars of Islam

• 2) Salat(ritualistic prayer)
• Pray to Allah, facing Mecca five prescribed
  times each day.
• Prayer is always directed in the direction
  (qibla) of the Ka'ba shrine in Mecca.
• Salat must always be preceded by ritually
  washing the face, hands, and feet.

8
The Five Pillars of Islam

• Zakat (almsgiving)
• Generally 2.5 (of ones assets) obligatory to
  help those in need. Anything more is voluntary.
• Along with the zakat, both the Qur'an and the
  Hadith emphasize the importance of voluntary
  almsgiving (sadaqa) to the needy.

9
The Five Pillars of Islam

• Sawm (fasting ritual, repentant, ascetic)
• abstinence from food and drink and sexual
  activity (for some, even smoking) from dawn til
  dusk.
• It is obligatory (except under certain
  conditions) during Ramadan.

10
The Five Pillars of Islam

• Hajj
• (Pilgrimage to Mecca). Obligatory to able-bodied
  individuals at least once during their lifetime.
• Commemorates the revelation of the Qur'an to
  humanity during Ramadan, the ninth month of the
  Islamic year.

11
The Quran

• Revealed from the angel Gabriel to the prophet
  Muhammad.
• Revelations came to Muhammad when he was 40 years
  old (610 A.D.) til his death (632 A.D.).
• About three years after the initial revelations
  Muhammad started preaching the revelations.
• In addition to the Quran are other books of
  faith that include his life (sira) and traditions
  (sunnah) which are followed by Muslims.

12
The Error of Islam

• Teaching about God.
• Quran Allah is one Bible Godhead. Gen. 126
• Quran Allah has no son Bible Jesus is the Son
  of God.

13
The Error of Islam

• Teaching about Jesus Christ.
• Quran Jesus was born like the rest of man
  (Quran 359). Jn. 11-3, 14
• Quran Jesus refused worship (Quran 5116).
  Matt. 1433 289
• Quran Jesus was not crucified (Quran 4157).
  Jn. 1914-20 1 Cor. 22
• Quran no one to bear sins for man (Quran
  6123-124). Heb. 928

14
The Error of Islam

• The Quran does not teach
• Jesus as the only way of salvation to the
  (heavenly) Father. Jn. 146
• Instead, it teaches man to follow the teachings
  and life example of Muhammad.

15
Summary

• When Jesus the Son of God is lessened by one
  iota, the gospel becomes adulterated and false.
  Cp. Gal. 16-10
• Anyone who brings a different teaching than the
  full deity and humanity is antichrist and has no
  fellowship with God. 1 Jn. 42-3 2 Jn. 9
• While we see the Christian view toward a Muslim,
  what is the Muslim view toward Christianity/Christ
  ians?

16
The Dangers of Islam

• Clearly there are Muslims who do not act out in
  terror against non-Muslims.
• The question, however, we want answered is this
  a fair and balanced view of Islam?
• If so, why are there so many reports of
  terrorist of violence against non-Muslims?
• Are these acts exclusively practiced out of
  defense?

17
The Dangers of Islam

• Hussein Massawi (former leader of Hezbollah)
• Regarding the People of the West
• We are not fighting so that you will offer us
  something. We are fighting to eliminate you.

18
Muhammad Taqi Partovi Samzevari

• (Future of the Islamic Movement, 1986)
• Our own Prophet was a general, a statesman, an
  administrator, an economist, a jurist and a
  first-class manager all in one. In the Qurans
  historic vision Allahs support and the
  revolutionary struggle of the people must come
  together, so that Satanic rulers are brought down
  and put to death.

19
continued

• (Future of the Islamic Movement, 1986)
• A people that is not prepared to kill and to die
  in order to create a just society cannot expect
  any support from Allah. The Almighty has promised
  us that the day will come when the whole of
  mankind will live united under the banner of
  Islam, when the sign of the Crescent, the symbol
  of Muhammad, will be supreme everywhere

20
continued

• (Future of the Islamic Movement, 1986)
• .But that day must be hastened through our
  Jihad, through our readiness to offer our lives
  and to shed the unclean blood of those who do not
  see the light brought from the Heavens by
  Muhammad in his miraj

21
continued

• (Future of the Islamic Movement, 1986)
• nocturnal voyages to the court of Allah.
  It is Allah who puts the gun in our hand. But we
  cannot expect Him to pull the trigger as well
  simply because we are faint-hearted.

22
Warning from Expert on Islam

• Robert Spencer (Jihad Watch)
• In response to why he does Jihad Watch The
  doctrines of jihad and Islamic supremacism
  threaten the peace and human rights of all free
  people. If it is not confronted and resisted, it
  will prevail.

23
Warning from Expert Ex-Muslim

• Walid Shoebat (author) Why I Left Jihad
• Created a documentary on the violence
  associated with Islam.
• Link What the West Needs to Know

24
Conclusion

• Islam teaches a different God and Jesus Christ.
• It perverts the teachings (particularly the
  gospel) found in the Bible.
• While there are peaceful Muslims, the overall
  practice of faithful Muslims only achieve
  peace by subjecting all to Islam.

25
Conclusion

• Faithful Christians have nothing to fear because
  we have Christ. Rom. 831-35
• Let it be known, however, that the warning
  regarding Islam and its (arguable) trends should
  be yet another reason to gird our loins and stand
  up for the faith once for all delivered to all
  the saints. Jude 3
