THE CAVE OF HIRA ON THE

THE QUR’AN

• THIS IS THE HOLY

COMPIALIATION OF THE

WORDS OF ALLAH.

• IT HAS 114 CHAPTERS.

THEY ARE NOT ARRANGED

IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER,

BUT INSTEAD, ACCORDING TO

INCLUDED IN THE KORAN. THEY ARE PRINTED

IN ANOTHER SEPERAT WORK.

ABOUT ALLAH…

•ALLAH IS THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, AND THEREFOR THE SAME GOD

WORSHIPPED BY CHRISTIANS AND JEWS.

•UNLIKE THE CHRISTIAN WORD “GOD”, ALLAH HAS NO PLURAL,

AND CAN MAINTAIN NO GENDER. IT CANNOT BEGAT.

BELOW: “ALLAH” written in Arabic.

Page 25: THE WORLD OF ISLAM!sept11tothepresent.weebly.com/uploads/6/6/1/4/... · the world and rose from the dead. judaism regards jesus as a teacher. does not believe that he was the messiah

ISLAM HONORS ALL THESE MEN AS GREAT

PROPHETS SENT BY GOD

ADAM, ENOCH, NOAH, EBER, SHELAH,

ABRAHAM, LOT, ISHMAEL, ISAAC, JACOB, JOSEPH,

JOB, JETHRO, MOSES, AARON, EZEKIEL, DAVID,

SOLOMON, ELIJAH, ELISHA, JONAH,

ZACHARIAS, JOHN THE BAPTIST, JESUS

AND MUHAMMAD.

WHAT ABOUT THE ROLE OF JESUS?

CHRISTIANITY BELIEVES THAT JESUS CHRIST IS GOD. BELIEVES THAT

HE WAS CURCIFIED ON THE CROSS FOR THE SINS OF

THE WORLD AND ROSE FROM THE DEAD.

JUDAISM REGARDS JESUS AS A TEACHER. DOES NOT BELIEVE

THAT HE WAS THE MESSIAH. JEWS STILL AWAIT THE

MESSIAH FORTOLD IN THE TORAH (Old Testament)

ISLAM BEIEVES JESUS WAS A GREAT TEACHER. DOES NOT

BELIEVE JESUS WAS GOD. BELIEVES JESUS WAS RESCUED

BY GOD PRIOR TO THE CRUCIFIXATION AND RESIDES

WITH GOD IN HEAVEN.
