If I WERE to choose between Islam and Christianity, it comes down to who is right about Jesus. Why should I not go with the people who are part of the established church that Jesus supposedly founded? Why would I believe the man who came along six centuries later to say the only people he could have heard about Jesus from were the ones who got it all wrong? This is beyond special pleading.
What you need to understand is that there is a concept of Orignal Sin in Christianity.
Where as in Islam,We Muslims believe Man is born free from any sins.
Nobody shall bear the sins of one another but only ownself.
If I make a mistake or broke any law.I should be held accountable and not anyone else.
Similarly is this not enough for you to understand why the concept of Orignal Sin fails for this very own reason.
God is Most Merciful.Would he really need to send his begotten son to pay for the sins of Mankind??
Also Quran was revealed to Prophet Mohammed (P.B.U.H)1400 years ago.The same Quran is read and memorised by millions of Muslims worldwide.
Whereas for the Bible,No Orignal Manuscripts exist till date.
Prophet Muhammed and all other Prophets which came before him came with only one message.
"To believe and worship Only One True God"
Below is the Surah Ikhas.Which is the perfect description about God.
Say:Allah, the One and Only; [1] Allah, the Eternal, Absolute; [2] He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; [3] And there is none comparable unto Him. [4]
[Qur'an 112:1-4]
Also you say about Trinity.Can you point out this word in the Bible ?
Also can you point out any single unequivocal statement where Jesus Christ himself Says I am God and Worship me???
Just ponder about all this.Hope Truth finds you to it.
