The fact that most religious books cannot be traced back to their exact wording and origins has been a major source of problems for the adherents of these religions. However, Islam is the only major religion that can conclusively state that it's Holy book, the Quran (The Word of God), has been completely preserved since the moment it was revealed to Prophet Muhammad(saws) by God through archangel Gabriel over 1400 years ago. See article. Muslims therefore have been able to avoid many of the problems encountered by other religions.
Islam and Christianity
|
And nearest among them in love to the believers wilt thou find those who say, "We are Christians": because amongst these are men devoted to learning and men who have renounced the world, and they are not arrogant. And when they listen to the revelation received by the Messenger, thou wilt see their eyes overflowing with tears, for they recognise the truth: they pray: "Our Lord! we believe; write us down among the witnesses. "What cause can we have not to believe in Allah and the truth which has come to us, seeing that we long for our Lord to admit us to the company of the righteous?" And for this their prayer hath Allah rewarded them with gardens, with rivers flowing underneath,- their eternal home. Such is the recompense of those who do good.
