| | Relating To Questions Raised By Muslims by Faysal Y. Sharif |
| | What a Muslim learns about Christianity and Judaism is based on the teachings of Islam, that the existing holy books of these two religions have been corrupted, and therefore do not represent the original revelations from God. | | | From such a base, the presentation of Christian theology can be made to show how Jesus brings about spiritual fulfillment in mankind by reconciling us to the Holiness of God through His death on the cross and His resurrection as the final sacrifice for the atonement of mankind from his sins. | | | Muslims ask, "How can you say that he is the Son of God and God at the same time?" |

| | Early Islamic philosophy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | As the Sunnah became published and accepted, philosophy separate from Muslim theology was discouraged by a lack of participants. | | | Together the sira and hadith constitute the sunnah and are validated by isnad ("backing") to determine the likely truth of the report of any given saying of Muhammad. | | | Key figures are Imam Bukhari, Imam Muslim, Trimidhi, Ibn Majah, Abu Dawud and An-Nisai. |

| | The Fall of Man and Redemption of Mankind - What does the Qur'ân Teach? |
| | Muslim theology had been especially emphasized that Muhammad kept himself away from the idolatry of his compatriots. | | | Muslim theologians are at variance as to whether Muhammad never committed any error or fault only at the time when he received his revelation and performed his different tasks as the leader of his people or whether this sinlessness also extends to matters of everyday life | | | Another question of dispute is whether Muhammad and the other prophets were sinless all their lifes or only from the time of their calling as Allâh's prophets; whether they were free from minor and major sins or whether prophets could perhaps perform smaller sins due to carelessness or forgetfulness[8]. |

| | Islamic jurisprudence and its sources |
| | Muslim reform theologians of the 19th century saw the two main reasons for a decline of the Islamic world in modern times in the facts that the door of ijtiahad had been closed in the 10th century, and that the majority of Islamic scholars of law considered the most important legal questions resolved. | | | Muslim theology understands by Islamic law (shari'ah = "Path to the drinking trough" or "water well") the laws and rules of god, which Muhammad received through revelations for his own people, but which gained validity for the entire world with the emergence of Islam. | | | This means that, after the prophet, the only true leader of the Muslims, at a given time, is an Imam, who, like the prophets, is directly appointed by god. |

| | No Muslim is a Muslim if s/he does not believe Jesus (peace be upon him), in Adam (peace be upon him) in Noah, in Moses, in Abraham in Solomon (peace be upon them all). | | | The problem is some bigoted Muslims refuse to use their heads and logic; if you resort to rationality then these bigots respond by saying that you are worshipping your intellectuality/mind, and hence committing "shirk". | | | It does not help, when the majority of Muslims live in Islamic countries that support violence and promote it, and these same people are spreading out to the world with their beliefs. |

| | The Turkmen are of the same Sunni Muslim tradition as their Uzbek and Tajik neighbours, but because they lived as nomads in scattered communities until the 20th century, there was less of a tradition of formal Islamic education and few mosques of any size in this desert land. | | | The disappearance of a separate theology faculty is a blow as it is the only institution in Turkmenistan that trains imams or mosque prayer leaders. | | | While allowing Turkmen Muslims and Orthodox Christian Russians to practice their faiths, the authorities have kept a close eye on these communities and harassed smaller groups, clamping down hard on Protestant churches operating without the necessary official license and jailing those held responsible. |

| | Jeremiah McAuliffe & Abdul Saleeb |
| | Jeremiah, we all know that there are and have been many currents in Christian theology (like any other religion), but mainstream Christian faith does not state that God is "the unknowable, completely Transcendent." Your recollection is not accurate, at least not about Augustine and Aquinas. | | | Also in the West, we had Karl Barth, who was the proponent of the idea that God is "Wholly Other." But the heart of the biblical faith, which is the Incarnation of God in Jesus Christ, runs against any such notion. | | | As we read in John 1:18, "No one has ever seen God, but God the only Son, who is at the Father's side, has made him known." Thus in Christian theology we not only affirm God's transcendence but also his immanence. |

| | Christian Theology and Islam |
| | Muslim modernists may advance harsh criticisms of Islam as it has been understood within their traditions, but they are not willing to extend the criticism to God Himself. | | | Nevertheless, Muslim theology must begin to consider seriously the problems of Western philosophy of religion if Islam is to be presented as a way of salvation for all people, including those of the West. | | | We need to begin by considering how the basic concepts of theology, concepts of God, man and the world, are treated in Islam and in Christian culture, and how rational reflection on these concepts and their different treatments in the Islamic and Christian traditions can help us to clear a path to theological understanding. |

| | It was a fixed agreement of the early Muslim Church, based on texts of the Qur'an and on tradition, that some believers, at least, would see and gaze upon God in the other world; this was the highest delight held out to them. | | | The anthropomorphic God of Muhammad, who has face and hands, is seen in Paradise by the believer and settles Himself firmly upon His throne, becomes a spirit, and a spirit, too; of the vaguest kind. | | | This conception of law shows itself in their thought frankly at strife with Muhammad's conception of God as will, as the sovereign over all. |

| | Time and again so-called moderate Muslims have been urged to come forth and to protest the excesses of those who claim to be the authentic spokespersons for the faith. | | | Only a few Muslims, such as the Sufi mystics, have been able to escape the tendencies toward literalism and the perceived mandate to apply that literalism to the world around them. | | | Some honest theologian ought to tackle the politically correct notion of the Muslim faith being at heart a religion of peace, with Muslim literalists being the exception rather than the rule. |

| | Islamic theology |
| | The discipline, which evolved from the political and religious controversies that engulfed the Muslim community in its formative years, deals with interpretations of religious doctrine and the defence of these interpretations by means of discursive arguments. | | | On the face of it, the vibrancy and capacity for self-regeneration of the Islamic faith seem to be proportionately resistant to the emergence of systematic theologies and philosophies. | | | The political struggles over who should lead the Muslim community gave rise to three major competing groups: the Khawarij, who opposed the fourth Caliph 'Ali and rejected the compromises he made with his opponents; the Shi'a, who supported 'Ali; and the Murjiya, who tried to remain neutral. |
