ISLAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

MAY 2008: ISLAMIC Q&A

DEAR ABE:

1. Muslims claim that their religion is a monotheistic religion, but Islam appears to be polytheistic. This is because having to believe in Muhammad is not being truly a monotheist. To believe in GOD has nothing to do with believing in Moses, or other prophets. For GOD alone is the Most High. How do you reconcile claims of Islam being monotheistic with a Muslim’s belief in Mohammad? Answer >>

2. I am a student in a secondary school. Sometimes, my friends and I will talk about religion. One friend said, on Judgment Day, their prophet Jesus will come down to earth again to save them. I do also remember hearing that the Quran says that Jesus will return. Then, he asked me why Prophet Muhammad does not come down at that time, too? Can you help me answer him? Answer >>

3. I have been wondering about whether God tells us to pray as soon as possible once the time for a new prayer comes. Or if we are allowed to pray anytime between two prayers? I assume that as long as I say my prayer before the next one is due, then I'm fine. But does God command that we should say our prayers as soon as possible? Would this be displeasing to God if I delayed it? Answer >>
