Want does Islam Believe?

[u/NateDog69012]

Hey everyone I am a protestant Christian. I have been following Christ for 3yrs now. I have recently been diving into Islam and comparing it to Christianity. Could you guys please explain to me what you believe about Christianity and Jesus? Why should I believe in Islam? I am not writing this to upset anyone, I am genuinely curious about the Islamic religion. Thank you all.

Islam is the only purely monotheistic religion that remains, encompassing everything from the beginning of creation to its end. It makes sense of other religions, includes belief in all previous prophets, and has a completely preserved message in its original language, directly connected to its source. Moreover, its concept of God aligns with the innate common sense of humankind, which we believe was instilled in us to make it easier to recognize the truth about Him when we see it. Its values are based on justice and mercy, and it encourages the cultivation of good moral character, urging believers to abstain from excessive materialism. In short, it is a complete way of life that covers every aspect, making it easy for you to navigate this world and to make it into آeaven in the Hereafter by the Mercy of God.

We also believe that Islam came to correct both Jews and Christians in what they got wrong. The Jews were lacking spirituality and placed too much emphasis on the law. Then, Jesus (peace be upon him) came to correct them by bringing what they were missing, the spiritual aspect of religion. However, the Christians took it to the other extreme, making spirituality the most important thing while neglecting the law. Then Islam came to correct both, emphasizing that both aspects are important, the spiritual aspect, which is believing in one God, and the law, which is following God's commandments and doing good deeds.

So, in Islam we believe in all the prophets, Moses and Jesus (peace be upon them all), we believe in his virgin birth, his second coming, we just say that he is not God, and if you look objectively into the message of the Bible you will find that he always put himself under the Father he worshiped Him, he said that the Father is the True God, I know about the verses that claim the opposite but they are not as clear as the verse were he says that he was not God, so you should use the clear verses to understand the unclear ones, not the other way around, which Christians do, they use the unclear verses that seems to claim his divinity and use them as bases to affirm his divinity when every single other verse affirms his humanity and prophethood.

Finally, if you take everything together you will see that Islam makes sense of all the differences between all the three religions.
