What is Islam?
The Arabic word ‘ Islam’ stands for ‘Submission’ or ‘Peace’.
In a religious context, it implies the peace that reaches out to one when one
completely submits oneself to the will of Almighty God. This is achieved only
when the individual acts in accordance with the direction of his Creator in all
spheres of life.
A Christian Perspective on Islam
At this point it is appropriate to offer a brief evaluation
of Islam from a Christian perspective.
At the outset, it must be stated that there is much in Islam
that the Christian can affirm. Among the most significant Islamic doctrines
that can be genuinely affirmed by the Christian are its belief in one God, its
recognition of Jesus as the virgin born, sinless prophet and messiah of God,
and its expectation of a future resurrection and judgment.
There are, however, some very significant areas of
difference. We will mention just a few. First, the Muslim perception of God is
by no means the same as that revealed in the Bible. Islam portrays God as
ultimately unknowable. In fact, in the Koran, Allah reveals His will, but He
never reveals Himself. Neither is He ever portrayed as a God of love, nor as a
Father to His people, as He is in the Bible.
Second, though Jesus is presented as a miracle working
prophet and messiah, and even without sin, Islam denies that He is the Son of
God or Savior of the world. Indeed, it is denied that Jesus ever died at all,
least of all for the sins of the world.
Third, though mankind is depicted as weak and prone to
error, Islam denies that man is a sinner by nature and in need of a Savior, as
the Bible so clearly teaches. People are capable of submitting to God's laws
and meriting his ultimate approval. According to Islam, man's spiritual need is
not for a savior but for guidance.
This leads to the fact that since in Islam, acceptance by
God is something we must earn by our works, it cannot possibly provide the
sense of security that can be found in the grace of God as taught in the Bible.
Many of us will find opportunities to befriend Muslim
neighbors, co-workers, or friends. As we do, we should be aware of some of the
barriers that exist between Muslims and Christians, due to past and current
animosities.
The attitude of many Muslims toward Christianity and toward
the West is colored by the history of conflict that has found expression in the
Crusades of Medieval times, European domination and colonialism, as well as
Western support for Zionism in most recent times. We must allow the love of God
to overcome our own fear and defensiveness and to penetrate these barriers.
In the past several years many Muslims have been deeply
impressed by the compassion shown by Westerners (and particularly the United
States) toward Muslim countries that have endured severe hardship. This kind of
compassion can be shown on an individual level as well. As we do, we can then
invite our Muslim friends to join us in a study of the New Testament, which
reveals the only source of acceptance before God in His love and grace,
expressed through the sacrifice of His Son Jesus Christ and His gift of the
Holy Spirit.
