Islam and Christianity : by Mrs. Ulfat Aziz-us-Samad.

---

The Muslim approach to Comparative Religion is
quite different from the Christian approach.
The Christian is brought up to believe that his religion is the only true one, with Judaism as a preparation for Christianity, and that all other religions are
false. He thinks that God has chosen and set apart
the children of Israel for the Purpose of revealing.
His Messages and sending His Prophets. And so, he
believes only in the Prophets and religious teachers
of Israel and looks upon all other claimanats to prophethood as impostors. Christian missionaries have
all Ilclng employed their energies at Proving the
holy founders of,othe.r religions to the false and
wicked men, so that they might establish the unique
claim of Jesus Christ. One has only to read their
books about the Prophet Muhammad (peace be on
him) and his religion to find how their religious Preconceptions and prejudices have made them incapa-ble of seeing the truth of others. They have not hesitated even to mistranslate the Holy Qur'an and
spread many misstatements about the Prophet Muhammad to serve their own purpose. If they find
anything in another religion resembling some thing
in their own, instead of feeling happy, they feel discouraged and has-ten to explain it away as due to
Christian influence.
The Muslim, on the other hand, believes in the divine origin of all the great religions of the world.
The SacNd book of Islam declares that God has
raised Prophets in every nation to guide the people
to the path of truth and righteousness. Being the loving Creator and Sustainer of all the worlds. He cannot become partial and choose one nation to the exclusion of all others for revealing. His Messages.A
Muslim must believe in the founders of all the great
religions. He may feel sorry to see how the Jews and
the Christians have in part forsaken and altered thetrue teachings of Moses and Jessus, but he can never
speak against the holy Prophets of those religions.
For, he has been directed by the Holy Qur'an to believe in them as true. and righteous Prophets of God.
He has the same respect and love for them as he has
for Prophet Muhammad.
It is, therefore, with a feeling of profound love and
respect for both Jesus and Muhammad, and for the religions which they preached, that I embark upon a
comparative study of Islam and Christianity. If at
times I find myself disagreeing with the Christians, it
is not over the religion of Jesus, but over the altered
shape and, features that it developed after the departure of Christ. In the words of Lord Headley, Islam
and Christianity. as taught by Christ him self, are sister religions, only held apart by dogmas and technicalities which might very well be dispensed with.
