Frequently Asked Questions! About islam1


Q: What is Jihad? A: Jihad in Arabic by its literal-meaning means "struggle", it's the struggle against the desires and lusts in general, but in particular it means the "Holy War" against the infidels who fight against the Muslims.


Q: Why should women cover themselves in Islam?

A: Islam considers a woman as a jewel and a pearl, for her protection from wrongdoers she must be covered very well. Hejab (women's cover) is also a sign of virtue and modesty and above all it’s the command of Allah to women to cover their hair and their body and the command if Allah is not negotiable.

Q: What is the Islamic faith of Jesus Christ?

A: We believe in Jesus the son of Mary [of the Nazareth] and that he is the Messiah (Christ), but we don’t believe though that he is a God or the God, we believe that he is the final messenger from Allah to the Children of Israel and we believe in his miraculous birth and that he was raised by Allah to the heaven for a further descent to fight side-by-side the Muslims against the Anti-Christ, the faith of Islam rejects the claimed crucifixion of Jesus and believes that a resembling was crucified instead of him, most probably was Judas according to the Gospel of Barnabas; the only Gospel that supports the Islamic view and banned by the Church.

Q: Do Muslims hate the Jews and the Christians?

A: Hatred for the sake of Allah is a pious act; we don't hate the Jews and the Christian in person, but we do hate their corrupted faith and dogmas, and we take example by Abraham who hated the worship of idols by his people but not the people themselves.

Q: Why did Mohammad marry many wives?

A: Marrying many wives doesn’t always refer to an oversexed personality, the Bible says that David, Solomon, Abraham and others married more than one wife, marrying more than one wife was a usual and a normal thing at their times so the Prophet Mohammad didn't break a rule or came with something new; on the contrary he limited marrying more than one wife to four wives only, before that legislation the number was open.

Q: What is Islamic faith of the Torah and the Gospel(s)?

A: Islam believes in the Torah that was given to Prophet Moses and in the Gospel that was given to Prophet Jesus; however we believe that the current Torah (five books of Moses) and the Gospels (John, Mark, Matthew and Luke) were modified; that’s why we don’t count them as a reliable reference.
