Student sheds light on the Muslim religion

The Islamic religion was formed to celebrate the differences found in humanity.Muslims have a firm belief that all human beings who have ever been on this Earth are the same. We are creatures who have been created by God and share the same conditions whether we have a difference in religion, gender, race or nationality.

Muslims rely on the Quran for judgment, which is similar to the Bible. One thing they believe is that all people are born Muslims. Not in the sense of everyone following the religion, but in the sense of us all being “submitters.” Muslims do not believe that we, as humans, fell as humans from a perfect state and passed on the effect to the following generations. Muslims don’t believe that the events in the Garden of Eden led to a change in humanity. Unlike the Bible, the Quran expresses that Adam and Eve disobeyed God, but weren’t punished with being mortal as the Bible teaches. Their belief is that God never cursed them, and being mortal was always a part of their existence because He did not threaten them at the tree of life. Because they do not believe original sin, Muslims believe that there is no preordained condition where people must be saved. One question that the Muslim community has always debated is, are all humans free to make their own decisions to control their own lives or are all acts pre-determined by God? Worship in Islam, whether it’s praying, fasting or making the pilgrimage, is understood as one’s status as a servant to do God’s will. Humans are God’s servants and representatives.

Therefore, the relationship with God must be in close reliance with what a master and servant’s relationship would be. The Islamic religion is a lot like Christianity in some aspects but also have major differences. Her you found a religion yet?
