The Misunderstood Religion of Islam
Booklet designed to dispel myths & misconceptions of Islam.
Articles
Below are two taken from the bookletMyth 01 - Islam is based on Terrorism
Average textbook definition of terrorism. 'A random act of violence targeted
at a civilian population to affect a political outcome.' Based on this definition
a Muslim cannot be a terrorist, because a Muslim cannot fight non-combatants.'Fight in the way of Allah against those who fight you, but begin not hostilities,
Lo! Allah loves not, aggressors.' (Holy Qur'an 2:190)'Whosoever killed an innocent person, it shall be as if he has killed all mankind;
and whoso gave life to one, it shall be as if he had given life to all mankind.'
(Holy Qur'an 5:32)
Myth 09 - Muslims Worship Muhammad, the only Prophet of Islam
Muslims believe in all the previous Messengers and Prophets of God.
Muslims do not worship anyone or anything except for God, because
they believe in the Oneness of God. No human being can be divine in
any way, including the Prophets.The six key Prophets of Islam - Adam, Noah (Nuh), Abraham(Ibrahim),
Moses (Musa), Jesus (Isa) and Muhammad (Peace Be Upon All of Them)
as the last Messenger and the seal of all the Prophets.
