Islam and the faith of Abraham
In this path
- Without the Temple, how are sins forgiven (Hosea 14:3)?
- Is the Jewish Shema (Deuteronomy 6:4) the same as 'there is no god but Allah'?
- Is halal the same as kosher, and why may Muslims eat camel?
- Did Moses and the prophets pray like Muslims?
- Did the Jewish scholar Maimonides say Muslims worship the one God?
- Do Muslims believe in the books God gave Moses and Jesus?
- Was Muhammad (ﷺ) really a messenger of God?
- Why should other religions accept Muhammad (ﷺ) as a prophet?
- What do Muslims believe?
Where next
Whatever came before is forgiven
If you become Muslim, your past sins are wiped away. When Amr ibn al-As came to accept Islam, he held back his hand until he knew he would be forgiven, and the Prophet (ﷺ) asked him whether he did not know that Islam wipes out everything that came before it. The Qur'an promises more: for the one who repents, believes and does good, God changes his bad deeds into good ones.
